About: I have years of experience walking dogs and petsitting both dogs and cats, whether taking them out for a walk or just keeping them company, I always prioritize your pets needs to ensure they are happy & healthy! I have experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats, from one-time visits to a week and longer stays. As an animal lover, I find great joy in spending time with dogs and cats, ensuring they receive ample attention, and doing all I can to keep them from feeling lonely while their owners are away. I keep pets safe by avoiding any potentially dangerous situations, like walking along busy streets or getting too close to dogs who show signs of hostility (i.e growling/aggressive barking). I’d love to care for your adorable furry friends! I have a flexible schedule - I’m available for drop-in visits and walks, or to stay with your pets during the day and/or overnight! Looking for pet-sitting work in the Lake Norman area! I always prioritize your pets safety - being mindful of where we are walking, surroundings, and weather conditions, and following routines for feeding and bedtimes! I am happy to do whatever is best for your pet - whether they prefer energetic playtime or just relaxing! I keep owners up to date with messages and photos so they know their pet is in good hands!
“Brad did a great job staying with our dog in our home. She is very new to our family (adopted < 2 weeks ago), so we were a little nervous leaving her overnight. Brad came in with confidence, brought all of his own supplies for his stay, and was great about sending us pictures to help us know Josie was doing just fine while we were away. He is a real pro at this!”
“My new go-to dog sitter. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences on Rover, especially having a 70 pound highly anxious lab which most people can’t handle or are afraid of. Safe to say I was little anxious leaving them (lab + two cats) alone for a few days on break, however, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Hes basically with the babies 24/7 which is exactly what I needed. He’s flexible which helps if you don’t have a steady schedule. Overall a positive experience and will be booking with him again. All my babies were in good hands and it honestly seem like they didn’t miss me very much lol.”
“Helen was awesome! She took great care of Lily and the house. She walked Lily often, sent pictures multiple times each day, proactively stripped the bed and put them in the washer. It was so nice to be able to focus on my time in mexico, and not worry about my girl Lily….thank you Helen”
“Heather goes above and beyond to take care of our puppy. She is kind and diligent to provide regular updates that assure us he's in great care. And our pup loves her! Always a pleasure to work with her”
“We had to use Olivia last minute and she was so accommodating. Extremely easy to communicate with. She sent pic updates and most importantly our boy loved her and she took very good care of him! Will definitely use her again if we ever have to leave him.”
“We asked Maura to stay with one of our dogs in our house for 5 days, and things went great! She sent updates when we checked in, and also on her own. We told her this was our first time using Rover, or any service like this, and she was really helpful with our few questions. Jameson is new to our household, so she provided great feedback when we got back home. She was great with Jameson, and we'd absolutely reach back out to her again! Also, she brought in out HelloFresh box and put it in the fridge - above and beyond!”
About: We have owned pets our entire lives and have completed multiple pets sits over the past year. Jeff is retired FAA and very mechanical. Anna is a part-time Telehealth RN, meds and special care are not a problem. In the summer we live in Alaska and own multiple vacation rentals. We are very experienced and will take excellent care of your home while you are away. We love exercise and can't wait to walk your dogs, and we prefer to be home for a quiet evening. We live on the East coast during the winter, mostly in the Spartanburg, Charlotte area, where we have family. We have our own vehicle and are mature and responsible. We will take excellent care of your home and animals so you can vacation and relax. We are in the Carolinas during the winter and we are flexible to take overnight and extended stays during the fall, winter, and early spring. We hope to develop repeat pet sitting experiences for people who like to travel at the same times yearly. We will follow all your instructions for the care of your pet to meet their individual needs. We will love to cuddle, walk, and spoil them when you are gone.
“We’re so lucky we found Mary! Our dogs are not easy to care for, as they are high energy and have some health issues. Mary went above and beyond to ensure they were happy and healthy. We got regular updates and pictures, and our neighbors commented on how sweet she was to our dogs when they heard her interacting with them outside. Mary is highly qualified to care for animals, and she has the heart to make sure your furbabies are happy. This isn’t just a job to her. She truly cares. ❤️”
“Jennifer was so amazing with our dog. She stayed in our home overnight and made sure he was happy and comfortable throughout the day. She sent frequent updates and made me feel very comfortable being away. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jaime! She was absolutely amazing. Our dogs, Luna and Norman, adored her from the start, and it was clear they were well-loved and well-cared for while we were away. We came home to a spotless house — she even picked up the dog poop in the yard and washed the sheets she used, which went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Morgan was fantastic with my senior dog, Penny. She was very communicative, timely and sent daily pics and updates. She left my home, sparkling clean, and was very respectful of my space. Will definitely continue using her to care from my dog.”
About: I have cared for and loved pets of all kinds all of my life. Cats, dogs, goats, rabbits, lizards and a bird. I am responsible and respectful. With age comes dependability and maturity. Plus, animals love me. I'm retired so everyday is a Saturday. I travel in a converted Sprinter van, but only a few times a year. I'm available unless already booked. I'll be happy to take care of your dog in your home and walk them in/around your neighborhood. Do they like dog parks? That can be arranged, too.
“Alex took care of my dogs amazingly!! He was very attentive and followed instructions to the tee. I loved how he sent me daily updates, photos, and brought any concerns that he had with the pups to my attention. I highly recommend him and will definately use him in the future. He cared for my pups as if they were his own and that made me very happy! He truly loved on and played with my pups when I wasn't there to do so myself. Thank you Alex!!!!”
“Briana was great in watching Zelda with Zelda accepting Briana the moment she met her. Briana gave frequent updates with pictures and we had no worries or concerns with her during her time here.”
“Nancy is amazing. My two pups adore Nancy. Nancy stayed with my pups for 5 days and everything and everyone was wonderful when we arrived back home. Nancy sent apictures every day along with a synopsis of their day.”

Ashley was amazing! I couldn’t have had a better sitter. She was really sweet and cared for my dog as if he was her own. She sent me pictures of him and the communication was outstanding! When I came home and walked in my house it felt cozy and was cleaner than it was when I left. I highly recommend her and I will definitely have her back again.
I know my dog is in great hands with Julia She arrives on time, brings her lovely energy gives her full attention to my boy. Follows his routine perfectly Sends lots of updates and photos I greatly appreciate her, I am a repeat client and she is my first request when I need an in house sitter
Peyton was absolutely amazing with Axel and went above and beyond in every way! Axel is a German Shepherd with a big personality — fun-loving, energetic, and definitely a little sassy — and Peyton handled him wonderfully. She was patient, attentive, caring, and clearly made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I especially loved that she took photos of Axel while I was away. Those little updates gave me peace of mind and made it so much easier to know he was having a great time. I would highly recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. I would also be more than happy to be a reference for her if needed. Honestly, Peyton was SO great that I almost don't want to recommend her… because now I don't want to share her with anyone else! But I can't be dishonest — she’s fantastic, and Axel would be lucky to have her again!
Jeannie was wonderful with my pup, Benny! She took great care of him and also my home while I was away. He got plenty of exercise and snuggles and I got lots of updates and pictures. It was so nice to know Benny was happy while I wasn’t at home! Jeannie is warm, caring, loves animals, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Allie was a great house sitter for my three cats, only one of whom is sociable with strangers. But her pictures prove that they became quite comfortable very quickly. She asked good questions during the meet and greet.Everybody was happy and the house was clean when I returned. Will definitely use again.
Tommy was amazing from our initial meet and greet through his entire stay with our dog, Wally. You can immediately tell Tommy genuinely loves dogs and will treat yours like his own. It was our first experience leaving our dog with anyone other than family. It was so nice not worrying one bit about Wally being in good hands. Tommy communicated with us regularly, even helped with a few things around the house while we were away and when we returned, you could hardly tell he had been here. Everything was tidy and neat. We highly recommend Tommy and plan to have him watch Wally again in the future.
Lauren was the perfect pet sitter and house guest. She was responsive and even came by for a meet and greet before coming to stay during our vacation. Our senior dog requires daily medication and Lauren was comfortable administering. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house. Will definitely look forward to reaching out to Lauren again when we go out of time. Thanks again, Lauren!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Caldwell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Caldwell maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Caldwell 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!
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
