“Laura was fantastic watching my cat while I was away! I’m always worried leaving my cat behind while I’m away but Laura made sure to check in with plenty of pictures of him eating/playing/being loved and always responded very fast. There’s good reason she’s a top sitter here!”

“✨Michelle gets a 5🐾out of 5🐾 from our pack!!! From the minute she walked in our puppies felt at ease and loved her- including Leia-our dachshund/bishon 👑 whom had dismissed several candidates prior to Michelle. She sends updates and pictures during her visits and within the first visit they had taken to her and looked very happy with her company and care. She clearly loves animals and we are so thankful to have found her!!! Peace of mind=priceless👍”

About: Hi, I'm Allie. I have loved and cared for animals since I was 12. I have always dog-sat and walked dogs. In addition, I worked at a local dog store in my hometown called Just Dog People. We sold dog toys, products, food, etc., and clipped and washed dogs. I have worked professionally with dogs for years, and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I am currently enrolled at ECU but have a pretty open schedule. I am available to walk dogs mornings, afternoons, and evenings Monday through Sunday! I have 4 dogs myself and they are my pride and joy. I am very respectful and have worked and cared for animals in my own home and others and have always done well. I seek to make the best experience for the pups and get all their energy out.

About: Hi!! My name is Mac, and I am passionate about providing exceptional care for your beloved furry companions. With experience in pet care and a deep love for animals, I am confident that I would be the perfect fit for the job. I work at the Humane Society Of Eastern Carolina so caring for animals of all ages and temperaments is basically the best part of my everyday routine ! Pets bring immense joy and unconditional love into our lives, and I believe they deserve the best care possible. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, as I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats,and small mammals. From daily walks, feeding, and grooming to administering medication and providing companionship, I am skilled in fulfilling all their needs. Additionally, I am well-versed in recognizing signs of distress, health issues, and handling emergency situations with calmness and efficiency. What sets me apart is my genuine empathy and connection with animals. I have an intuitive understanding of their behaviors, preferences, and moods, which allows me to tailor my care accordingly. I prioritize building trust and forming a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel secure and loved even when their owners are away. Furthermore, I am highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, ensuring that every pet's specific instructions and routines are followed diligently. I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly. My passion for animals combined with my experience, reliability, and compassionate nature make me an ideal candidate for the role. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to going above and beyond to provide them with exceptional care. I am excited for the opportunity to be your trusted pet caregiver and look forward to meeting your adorable companions. Let's create a harmonious and joyful experience for your pets together! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, as it has become an integral part of my life. I understand that pets require consistent care, attention, and love, and I prioritize their well-being alongside my own daily activities. From the moment I wake up, I ensure that feeding, exercise, and playtime are seamlessly integrated into my schedule. I work full time with the local Humane Society where taking care of little furry friends has basically become second nature to me, i have on pet of my own and often have fosters in and out of the house that i have developed a routine that allows me to still work full time and make sure they are taken care of! Whether it's a refreshing morning walk, engaging play sessions in the afternoon, or cozy cuddle time in the evening, I make sure to allocate dedicated moments throughout the day to cater to their needs. I often have ample time during my break, after my shift ends and on my off days where i could come and lend a helping hand! When caring for my clients' pets, I prioritize their well-being and strive to provide them with the same love and attention they receive at home. From the moment I meet them, I make an effort to establish trust and build a bond. I attentively listen to my clients' instructions regarding their pets' routines, dietary needs, medications, and any specific care instructions. I ensure a safe and secure environment for the pets, giving them ample space to move and explore. Daily exercise is incorporated into their schedule, whether it's energetic walks, engaging playtime, or stimulating mental activities. Feeding schedules are strictly followed, and I monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. I am observant and attentive to their behavior, swiftly addressing any signs of discomfort or health issues. Most importantly, I offer companionship and affection, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort while their owners are away. Communication with my clients is essential, as I provide regular updates and photos, ensuring they feel connected and reassured about their pets' well-being. Ultimately, I strive to create a seamless, stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, ensuring that their beloved companions are well-cared for and cherished in my care.

About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.

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.

About: I have personally grew up with dogs and find myself very passionate about care and respect for animals! My years of internships experience at a rescue center has allowed me to learn rehab skills, spread owner-responsibility awareness and tips, and have hands-on field work with all different kinds of animals, especially dogs, and cater to all their specialized needs! I additionally have fostered a couple of dogs from my local shelter! We call them staycations. This is where, as fosters, we take a dog from out of the shelter for maybe a week or so to give them some fresh air and some at-home loving! All dogs I have fostered have been happily adopted by their forever-owners! I currently work a part time job so I evidently have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your dogs! With that being said, I don’t have a set schedule that I usually work but I only work 2-3 days a week. During the week, afternoons are best for me, and weekends I have full availability if I’m not working! Please inquire to get more details about my schedule! :) I have interned at a animal care and control center so I find myself pretty well and familiar with all kinds of personalities dogs may have! I am very attentive and well follow any set instructions given for the best care of your pup!

About: I have been dog-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family throughout high school, and I always go out of my way to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe! I have experience staying in clients' homes, bringing pets to my house, and stopping by for visits or walks. I'm currently a full-time student, but I have lots of gaps between classes in the middle of the day, and all my nights are free. I also have multiple days with no classes, and my weekends are completely free. I make sure that your pets always have my full attention and care. While I'm with them, I make sure they get lots of attention and love. I make sure to play with them and let them out many times throughout a visit. I make sure that I carry out any other tasks exactly as you want me to. I always take time to update you throughout my care.

About: I absolutely adore pets and always have since I was young! Had several dogs all throughout my childhood and am currently in search for one of my own! I enjoy walking outside so if your dog loves to go for walks, we'd be the perfect match! I have also pet sat dogs of all ages many times before for neighbors and friends, so I would love to be able to pet sit for anyone in need whether that be for feeding time, walks, overnight care or just to be there so they aren't lonely! I recently moved back to North Carolina, so I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends. My home has a yard to run around and play in and the neighborhood is perfect for walks! I can easily crate your dogs if needed or they can snuggle up on the couch or bed. Looking forward to taking care of your furry family members and will treat them like my own :)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Baywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
