“I think everything went fine! Sugar obviously warmed up to Laura quickly & felt relaxed & cared for while I was gone which was exactly what Sugar needed along w/her twice-a-day medication. Laura said she was able to pill Sugar easily so that is great, too. Laura also interacted w/the dogs which is an added bonus. I did not worry aabout Sugar for a single moment I was gone which made my vacation extra wonderful & relaxing.”
“She was wonderful! She accepted my booking at the last minute when I needed someone to watch Sova during a doctor’s appointment. She listened carefully to Sova’s needs, routine, and activity level, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in her care. She was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely kind. I’m very grateful she was able to help us on such short notice, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I cannot begin to express how amazing Heather is! Our dog has severe anxiety with new people, and Heather went above and beyond to ensure that our fur baby felt comfortable and was so patient with her. I recommend her to every single person I know in the area who needs care for their animals.”
“Caitlyn is amazing ! She is always on time and our dog loves her. She always takes her time to play with Simba before she puts him back in his crate . We are so glad we found her !”
“Dia took great care of our cats while we were away. She communicated frequently and we had peace of mind that they were in good hands. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Mafe has been a blessing for my senior dog! Due to work i had to request 2 extra drop in visits and thankfully she was able to take care of my sweet baby. Its the little things that I am so appreciative of, I noticed she fluffed up his favorite blanket and left his stuffed bunny on his bed, she gives him his medication and even adds ice to his water bowl just how he loves it. She offered to take my trash bin to the curb as she noticed others were out in the neighborhood and even brought it back to the house. Exceptional care for my dog and Mafe has a gift for anticipating unmet needs. She gives my pup a lot of positive attention during her visits and he is so happy to see her based on the photos she sends. Appreciate you helping me in a tight situation with my work schedule! Thank you for keeping my little one happy, safe and secure.”
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!
“Riley was great with our cats. It can be tough to handle 5 hungry babies at once, but she had no issues. She was able to care for our diabetic cat and give him his insulin injections at a timely manner, all while making sure he didn’t eat the other cat’s food. We would definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: Hi there! My name is Hannah and I work at the hospital. I have one medium sized dog, one very large dog (Great Pyrenees) and three cats currently, and if it were feasible, I would have 100 more. I love animals of all shapes and sizes (ok, maybe except spiders & roaches), but in particular I love cats and dogs. Nothing turns my bad day to a great one like when my dog greets me when I walk through the door! Please give me the pleasure of meeting, loving, and wearing out your dog! Can't wait to meet them! I have an inconsistent work schedule, so my availability changes from month to month and sometimes even day to day. I will only list availability and accept bookings if I know I have the appropriate amount of time and energy for them! I treat every pet as my own and I love the opportunity to get to know new animals. No matter what type of service, they will undoubtedly feel loved.
“I've asked Morgan twice now to stop by and let my puppy out, feed him, and play with him. I've been extremely happy both times! Each time I had to ask the day before I needed her because of extremely last minute work trips and she was super understanding and great about working with me. She sends lots of great pictures and my puppy is always happy to see her! Today she went the extra mile and climbed over my porch railing to get into the apartment and make sure he was taken care of when my front door lock wasn't working. I've recommended her to a bunch of my friends. I'm so grateful for Morgan and everything she's done for my pup! I would definitely be a wreck with these work trips if it weren't for her. Thank you Morgan!!!”
“Allie was such a great sitter! She communicated throughout the entire process and definitely eased my worry about leaving my kitty for a few days! Will definitely rebook with her”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. With reliable communication, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence, your pet will be treated like family. I am usually free everyday until around 3pm. Some weeks are different but I would love to communicate and find a way to fit your pet in. I create safe environments for pets by making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and respected at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and always supervise during play and feeding. I pay attention to their body language, give them space when needed, and keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and hazard-free. Whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a calm walk outdoors, I prioritize their comfort and well-being in every moment.
About: I have always had pets in my life. I’ve cared for my neighbor’s, friends’, and family’s pets whenever they’ve needed me to. I love playing, walking, and giving attention to pets! I am working part time, completing observation hours, and helping out with an educational study. I will be able to take care of pets when I am not participating in these activities! I can walk or hangout with dogs a few times a day for 30 minutes to an hour! I live in an apartment with a puppy and an older dog. I am happy to come to the client’s house and care for their pets! If a client needs me to have the dog over at my apartment, I am more than happy to discuss and work something out!
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and currently have pets of my own, including cats and dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or just a dependable caregiver, I’m happy to help and treat them like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure every visit gets the time and attention your cat deserves. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and interaction or prefers a calm, quiet presence, I’m happy to follow their routine and provide care that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to keeping your cat happy and stress-free. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication instructions, and any other special care needs. I respect your home and your cat’s boundaries, taking the time to build trust at their pace. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your cat is receiving attentive, loving care.
About: I've owned animals my entire life, and began dog / cat sitting around the age of 10. Now I get the pleasure of owning my own furbaby, Link- as well as working at a grooming facility. I was previously working at a boarding facility for a little over three years and it has given me an amazing insight on not only what goes into caring for the furbaby, but helping them thrive. It has also given me the opportunity to learn how to handle a variety of dogs and cats, and their temperament. I am available for whatever days or times best align with your schedule and your furbabies needs! I have reliable transportation and can be readily available. Working at the facilities has given me hands on experience when it comes to anxious animals, administering medication, handling animals, and assessing a situation to decide if the animal will need medical care. I am more than willing to offer walks, cuddles, playtime, or whatever your furbaby(ies) enjoy most!
About: Hi!! I am a senior at ECU and my family and I just moved to the Raleigh area from New York. I have been sitting for a little over three years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). I am open to anything from house sitting to just check ins- whatever is needed! My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I now have a a dog of my own, Champ as well as foster dogs though Pitt Friends so I am highly knowledgeable with anything regarding dogs and puppies. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.
About: I require a copy of vaccines from your vet and your animal to be on flea tick and heart worm medicine to stay. ✨ Why choose me? • I treat every dog like family—snuggles, belly rubs, and playtime are guaranteed. • Safety first: I keep a close eye on all dogs and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. • Reliable communication: You’ll always get photo & video updates so you know your pup is in great hands. ✨ About me: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers cozy naps and gentle attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. ✨ What your dog can expect: • Daily walks, potty breaks, and fresh water • Playtime tailored to their energy level • Lots of love and attention • A safe, clean, and comfortable home environment ✨ Extra touches: I’m patient, reliable, and truly love what I do. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your dog the best care possible. I work full time 8-5, thirty minutes away from my address and have family 5 minutes away if anything come up while I’m at work, I have cameras inside and outside of my home so I can monitor animals when I’m not home. I am also available on weekends if you need an overnight sitter, and can stop in and check on your animals as many times as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard and would require a lease and harness for them to be taken out. This would make me feel better as nothing would happen to them. I live by a stop sign so cars do not come by fast but they do go by right in front of the house. I have trained my dogs to go nowhere near the front yard for safety reasons.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ayden is $18

We love Laura! Each visit she seems to love my pets as much as I do. She is also very flexible with her schedule which is great for last minute bookings if she technically isn’t “available”, she will squeeze you in where she can, and that is much appreciated!!❤️
Highly recommend Laura H for anyone that needs a caring, attentive, and dependable pet sitter. She provides excellent communication with a lot of pictures, a narrative and helps to keep my sweet 13 year old dog happy. If you have special preferences or needs she has your pet covered. Lots of anxiety leaving my sweet boy for 9 days but they have built a special bond and it was their 2nd adventure together. I returned home to a safe and happy pup. Very thankful we found Laura H!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ayden is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 376 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ayden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ayden. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
