“Madison was incredibly responsive, courteous and most importantly, our pup loved her. She felt calm with Madison, and I felt great knowing she was in good hands. We will definitely call Madison for help again!”
“Kirsten was great! She stepped in to help with some cat-sitting in a last-minute situation and was very responsive and kind. She took lots of pictures and videos and was able to get a shy, skittish cat to be playful and fun during the time she spent with her. Kirsten is obviously great at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone needed their dogs or cats watched. She is caring, attentive and communicative and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away!”
About: Hi! I'm Becca—a wife, mom, teacher, and dog lover. I currently work part-time during the school year and am home on Mondays and Fridays, as well as full-time during the summer. As a mom, I've been looking for a flexible way to earn extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs is a perfect fit! Both my husband and I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from small breeds to larger dogs. Our own dog is a 7-year-old, 65-pound Labradoodle who is a much-loved member of our family. When your dog is in my care, I will treat them like one of my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I'll do my best to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m currently working part time- so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule is especially flexible in the summer. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by each owner. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They will have plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and opportunities for exercise. I have experience with both small and large dogs and will make sure they feel comfortable in a clean, safe environment. In a client's home, I work to maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I want pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher and mom, I understand the importance of responsibility, communication, and trust. I will provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Amaya was very attentive to our cat while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone with an eye for detail and love for animals!”
“Definitely recommend Caleigh for a drop in visit! This was our first time doing Rover and as someone who was pretty nervous about it because at the end of the day you are trusting your pets/house to someone you have never met before, Caleigh gave us peace of mind when we first met. Definitely rebooking for our next trip. We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat who needs insulin shots twice a day and it was no problem at all.”
About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.

About: I occasionally walked and cared for neighbors dogs in high school, but I have experience caring for dogs part time for a year post-high school. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a dog owner myself. I have a Husky/Rat Terrier mix named Biscotti, so I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, training, and lots of exercise. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care, walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays when needed. I do not dog sit in my home, but I am open to dog sitting and caring overnight in clients homes for dog sitting request.
About: This will be my first experience of pet care. I have a passion for treating pets with the care they deserve and give them lots of love. I will treat them as if they were my own. This would be an exciting experience to meet and take care of all different breeds of pets. I am curious of how other breeds act as I, myself have two chihuahuas and a french bulldog that are completely separate from each other. I would love nothing more than to help take care of other people's pets while also enjoying the time of playing and caring for the pet itself. I am care-free and easy going. If you ever needed more time for me to watch the pet, I would be more than happy to do so. I work full time but i’m an early bird and have all evenings free! I like to be active and go on walks anyways and it will be lovely to do it with a furry friend! I do not care for pets inside my own home but in a client home, I will do anything necessary for the pet under owners orders! I work best with a schedule.

About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Advance
This was the first time we used Matthew and were impressed and will certainly request again. He was willing to do a meet and greet first, took notes and made sure he understood what was needed. We have 3 dogs and we needed 3 visits in one day to include feeding and medications. On day of visit, he interacted with each dog during each visit and provided detailed notes and photos about the visits and followed up with us afterwards also. We would recommend Matthew to anyone needing a pet sitter in area.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Advance stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Advance 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Advance with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
