“Carmen is a rock solid pro who took great care of our 2 girls. Our pit bull is somewhat aggressive with strangers but to her credit she stood her ground and soon won her over. We were gone for 10 days and came home to happy dogs, live plants and a clean home. What more can you ask? I will definitely be using Carmen again in the future and suggest you do also…except on the dates when I need her. ?”
“Chesnie was GREAT! She was well loved by our three dogs and extremely communicative throughout our entire trip. She was respectful of our home and we came back to it in the exact same state that we left it in. It was so nice to go out of town and know that our dogs were well taken care of the entire time.”
About: I have had lifelong experience and a deep love for dogs. I've grown up with dogs and have taken care of not just my own, but also those of my friends and family. This has given me a unique understanding of their needs and behaviors. Whether it's a playful young dog or a calm adult, I have the skills and experience to provide the best care possible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. Whether it's regular feeding, walks, playtime, or just some good old cuddling, I can easily incorporate these activities into my day. My open schedule also means I can adapt to the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they get the care and attention they deserve. In both my home and a client's home, I ensure pets receive attentive care and plenty of interaction. At my home, I have a spacious, open backyard where pets can play and enjoy some fresh air, always under my watchful eye since it's not fenced. Inside, I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and sleep. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and rules, ensuring pets are fed, walked, and loved as per their usual schedule. In both scenarios, I prioritize safety and comfort, aiming to create a home-away-from-home experience.
“This was my first time using Rover and will use them again especially Canija. She is the best and we truly appreciated her for taking care of our fur baby. Most definitely will use Rover and Canija again. Happy Customer! Onnesta G.”
“Rachel was fantastic! We went out of town for a week and she made sure that all 5 of our fur babies were safe and well taken care of. She checked in with us frequently and sent us pictures of all of our babies. We also came home to a clean house, which was a great way to end a vacation. We highly recommend her, it’s great knowing your kids are with someone who enjoys our pets as if they were her own.”
About: I have 5 years of dog/cat sitting. I absolutely love all animals. I grew up around all sorts of animals. We have a 2 years old Husky at home, who loves to go outside and run around with us. I would love to take care of your babies!! I’m currently a substitute teacher. With school coming to an end for this school year. I am looking for dog/cat sitting jobs throughout the summer. I’m very flexible. We have 3 acres of land, but I let our dogs out on a leash and we walk around for ten minutes. I can put your babies in crate if they are not potty trained yet.
About: I’ve grew up with animals since the day I was born. My whole family is animal lovers and I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. There’s not one animal that I have met that hasn’t been obsessed with me. I usually work from home but sometimes at a hospital from 8-4:30. I can see your pet before work and stay with them after I get off. I would prefer staying at your home due to the pet having a routine. Too much change can stress them out. I love a detailed list and will follow it. If there’s not a list I will make sure your animal is cared for either way.
“Tammie did an outstanding job with our two high energy dogs. She sent many pictures and updates and the pups seemed to be having a great time. Will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her!”
About: I love taking care and loving pets! I will treat the pets as if they are my own, and will be sure to keep them in good hands! I am available after 3:15 on weekdays and available all day on weekends! I am very easy to work with schedule wise, and will be sure to put your pet in the best care! I have a chocolate lab, and love him unconditionally! I care for pets and will be sure to treat them all like they are my own.
About: I will be starting my teacher career mid July, but I won’t be full time until August 1st. If you are requesting house sitting, take note that I will be working during the day from 7am-3pm. When checking on your fur baby or babies I will make sure to stick to there set schedules. I have dogs, cats, and chickens so I know how important it is to keep them on a set schedule. I can bathe your dogs if requested for extra 10 dollars and I normally stay home unless I have something important scheduled. I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I keep them on a schedule with feeding, and I let them exercise a lot, and give them their personal food. I also bathe my dogs once a month.
About: Throughout my childhood I had dogs, cats, hamsters and a rat. Additionally I have gained experience in owning chickens and guinea. I have a love for horses and I would say can handle the basics including prior experience with starting under saddle. I respect the need to be patient, attentive, loving and understanding when caring for each animal individually. I am now a stay at home mother who provides round the clock care. I have attended training classes and can provide additional instruction upon request. Feeding, bathing, grooming/nail trimming can also be provided upon request. Stay at home mother who's readily available 24/7. We have 4 pets currently: 3 dogs and 1 cat. Our animals are free to be in our home or out in the yard daily. I have also owned chickens and guinea! Feeding twice a day, morning and evening, plus plenty of bonding/outside time each day. I believe most pets give back the love they receive and are a product of their humans commitment and acceptance. We ensure the way to keep everything smooth and easy going is with lots of love. Even with strict disciplined training, we make sure to keep a close eye on ours at all times because well... kids will be kids and animals will be animals!
About: I've taken care of a goofus labador retriver named Ginny for many years along with mulitple cats. My love of animals led me to getting my first job at petsmart pet hotel. I love playing and loving on all pets as much as I can. I'm currently working part time for another technical company from the hours of 9am to 530pm. I mostly likely can do friday through the weekend for sitting. I have enough experience to know what to do for dogs and cats. I will play with them. I will ask for any names or things that will make them comfortable and my top concern is letting them know that I will love on them and I am safe.
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”
About: I have taken care of different animals since I was very little. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, bunnies and even a chinchilla. I’ll take care and love your animals like I do my own. I work a full time job but I can come early In the morning and around 5 in the evening . I try to be as flexible with your needs and wants for your animals. I have 2 cats who are polar opposites. One loves to snuggle and the other hides in our room like she’s a 16 year old teenager. We love them both as they are and cater to what each of them needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Zebulon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 405 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zebulon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Zebulon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Zebulon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Zebulon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
