“Fantastic experience! Our dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly loved. We got great updates and photos throughout, and we came home to a relaxed, content pup. Highly recommend! We will definitely book again! 🐾”
About: I’ve gained a lot of experience and love from having dogs my whole life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, so I understand that every animal has their own needs and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ll treat your animal with the same care, attention, and love I would give my own. I’m currently working part-time so I still have plenty of time even the days I work throughout the day to take care of your furry friends! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. I always follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while respecting their home and their usual routine
“Alex has been nothing but great so far. She is very communicative about her availability and her visits. Xavia LOVES her and they have gotten along since the initial visit. She is very gentle and very nice. So glad I found her on here! She has been a HUGE help!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to take care of dogs that have hearing, vision, and temperament problems. I’ve never had an issue not being able to walk a dog. And if you haven’t ordered dog, I will have no issue helping the dog get stepped or into a car if needed. I love all dogs and I personally own a large dog and a medium sized dog. I’m currently work full-time so I won’t be completely available all the time, but I’ll make time for your pups. But I’m a pretty flexible person. I don’t offer for the animals to be kept at my house. If I were to have a dog stay at my home or if I had to go to a clients home, I would just make sure to have all of my things together as well as ground rules with the owner.
About: I have personally had animals of a broad variety since I was born. I have sat for friends and family for over 5 years. I love it, love them like my own! I am currently an elementary school teacher and teach until 3 daily. I will be at home daily for the remainder of the day and am always home on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard that your animals can run and play in, an array of toys. If needed you can bring a crate for keeping if they are used to that. I do have cat crates.
“Kelly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. This was the first time we hired a pet sitter so we were a little nervous about how our 16-year old Rascal would do. Kelly alleviated all our concerns and did a wonderful job. Having the notification of each visit and pictures is a real bonus. Would definitely hire Kelly again! And rover.com makes everything so simple and easy.”
“Our anti-social kitty likes her better than us! Allison is incredible!!! From the moment we met her for a meet & greet I knew she was perfect. We felt 100% comfortable with her coming in to our home, and knew our cats were in great hands. She’s responsible, great at communicating with us, and so sweet. She must be a cat whisperer because our shy kitty not only snuggled her day 1, but even let Allison rub her belly! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful professional do checkins/feeding while we were away.”
About: I have grown up around a variety of animals and have been a trusted caretaker for 3 years now! I have experience with reptiles, aquatic life, dogs, cats, small furry friends, and birds. I would love to help in any way I can! I currently have very open availability and can offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m able to adjust my schedule as needed and provide consistent, attentive care. I’m really big on making sure my pets are happy, comfortable, and taken care of. I keep them on a consistent feeding schedule, always make sure they have fresh water, and stay on top of cleaning their litter boxes regularly. They have lots of toys, cat trees, and little things to keep them entertained, and I love giving them attention and spending time with them. I’m very attentive to their routines and needs, and I treat them like my babies.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Along with years of pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I worked at Charlotte Animal Care & Control, where I gained experience with just about every kind of personality—from playful puppies to stubborn seniors. I stay calm, patient, and attentive, and I know how important it is to earn both your trust and your pet’s. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of tail wags along the way Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to give every pet the time, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and keep your pet happy and on their normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments from my time at Charlotte Animal Care & Control, so I’m confident handling a variety of situations while staying calm and attentive. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.
“Victoria did a great job taking care of our Holly and Frank and was easy to work with! I appreciate her willingness to step in at the last minute due to an unexpected out of town trip we had to take. 😊”

“Robbie did amazing watching our dog Beaux! He followed our dogs routine while we were out of town and communicated with us daily with picture updates. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“Misty did a fantastic job with our two dogs. She agreed to an extra visit because they're so young and was flexible when we needed to alter our plans. She kept us updated with pics and was there when she said she would be. Definitely recommend.”

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 Bessemer City 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.

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.

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.
