About: Have always had lots of animals growing up and as an adult. Animals seem to feel comfortable around me. I enjoy their presence and will give them lots of love. I have a fairly open schedule. I work part time as a CNA. Live in a rural area but can travel to surrounding cities if needed. We have hosted dogs in our home, outside in our yard or have gone to their home. Available for walks. Also have an outdoor kennel if your dog is not friendly.

“Dawn is such a good pet sitter. Our cats are normally very reclusive around new people, but took to her immediately. We couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely use her in the future.”

About: *Newly located to Burnsville NC and available in The SC Upstate!!* Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been a trusted house and pet sitter since 2018, originally serving families in southern Western North Carolina and now proudly offering my care for homes and pets here in Burnsville! In addition to pet care, I am a professional makeup artist in the wedding industry. My artistry career allows for a flexible schedule, making this a true dream duo profession. Both roles require attentiveness, discretion, reliability, and a calm presence- qualities I bring into every home I care for. I’m a big animal lover and this work nourishes my soul. I understand my rates may be higher than some providers on the platform. They reflect my experience, the personalized attention I provide, and the care I take with both pets and homes. I book thoughtfully and value quality over quantity. My time is important, and I approach each booking with professionalism and respect- which I greatly appreciate in return. As a devoted cat pawrent of four, animals are truly part of my heart and home. I have a particular specialty in senior pets and those with special needs. I’m experienced and comfortable administering medications, including insulin, strictly according to your veterinarian’s schedule. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and calm energy, especially for older or medically sensitive pets. I specialize in long stays and understand the elevated level of consistency and stewardship required when you are away for extended periods. I am deeply committed to maintaining your pet’s established routines so they feel secure, steady, and completely at ease in their own environment. I also take exceptional pride in how I leave a home. During overnight stays, I thoughtfully maintain lived-in areas, refresh sheets, and ensure spaces feel orderly and cared for upon your return. I tend to go above and beyond- because I believe your home should feel just as welcoming as when you left it. I offer a limited number of recurring weekly walks. I’m experienced with leash-trained dogs, E-collar systems, and properly trained off-leash work when safe and appropriate. In my previous community, I maintained consistent walking schedules with select families- something I genuinely enjoyed and look forward to establishing again here in the Lowcountry. As mentioned above, I am a professional makeup artist in the wedding industry, which allows for a flexible and thoughtfully managed schedule. Pet care is intentionally woven into my routine, and I carefully book my calendar to ensure each client receives dependable, attentive service. Whether for daily walks or extended stays, your pet’s care and consistency remain a priority. My approach centers on routine consistency, attentiveness, and respect for both the pet and the home. I carefully follow established feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to ensure pets remain settled and at ease in their familiar environment. I am dependable and flexible, and I will treat your fur family with the same care and consideration I give my own. References are happily available upon request. I truly appreciate the opportunity to serve your family.

About: I believe that pets deserve an abundance of respect and understanding, as well as optimal attention and care. In general, I tend to feel more comfortable around dogs and cats than people and treat them all with dignity, respect, and love. I have had decades of experience with a variety of pets, from blind pugs to anxious mutts to timid cats and everything in between. I believe pets must be addressed on their own level and met where they are. As a middle-aged woman with many responsibilities and experiences, I am adept at managing a wide variety of pet tasks with conscientiousness and skill. You can be confident that your dogs and cats will be in safe and loving hands with me while you are away. I am a freelance writer and work only part-time from home, so I have an abundance of time to be fully in the moment with your pets and provide them quality care, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I have a wonderful husband who loves animals and 16-year old son (who also adores animals), and a 20-year-old son studying at Chapel Hill, who helps me with the dogs in my care when he is home for the summer and on breaks. Currently, I have a wonderful, small group of regular dogs who come for daycare most days of the week. I always make sure prospective dogs are a good fit with the group to ensure safety and an optimal experience for all the dogs. We love meeting new dogs and welcome having new playmates here at "Camp Dewdog." These guys have so much fun here, romp around the yard, hide in the shrubery, zoom around the porch, and go on walks in our Montford neighborhood to see the goats and chickens down the street or to the Reed's Creek Greenway, or Hummingbird Park. There's never a dull moment here, except when the pups are sacked out on our porch swing bed or lounging in the house on the sheepskin rugs. Your pets will be cared for with the same dedication and attentiveness as with my own pets. Dogs can either roam and lounge in our large Victorian home or frolic in our lush fenced yard and porch. Montford is also a lovely neighborhood to go on walks with dogs, with lots of parks nearby, resident goats and chickens down the street at our friends' house, and Reed's Creek Greenway just around the corner.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Burnsville

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.
