About: Worked with Dogs and Cats both young and old. Along with a small range of farm animals like chickens and goats. Additionally I have works with some more unique pets like chinchillas. I have also done some house sitting off and on for a few years. Currently working part time over the summer so have more than enough time at all times throughout the week. I am free pretty much 24/7 all day every week but tend to like one day notice of booking. I have a small back yard that’s fenced in and more than enough space both within and outside my house. I also can let them out, feed, play, whatever they need if ever or whenever you would like me to go to your house.
“Kelly was great with my dog Potter! She’s very professional and attentive to details, she took great care of my dog’s needs and he looked so happy in the pictures she shared. 10/10 would recommend Kelly and she’s now my got to sitter in the Carrboro area.”
About: I love treating all dogs like my own…and they love it too! From puppies to seniors, they will be taken care of with great expertise and care from me. I love to take my time to get to know their quirks and send you lots of pictures of them while you’re out! I am currently working 2 part-time jobs, both nearby in the Chapel Hill/Durham area. I am excited to find another flexible job that fills me with joy, too. I will listen to your requests on your preferences for your pup. I am happy to let them out in a fenced yard or leash them for potty breaks, play with a ball or toy to get out some energy, or walk and sniff to explore the neighborhood.
About: Hi, I’m Erin! I’m a senior at UNC–Chapel Hill and have grown up with Dobermans my whole life. I have two rescue dogs at home: Tucker, a male Doberman, and Charlie, a female Lab mix. As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I’ll give your dog the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own, while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether your dog enjoys active walks, playtime, or a little extra company, I’ll follow your care instructions and respect their routine. You can also expect updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away! As a senior at UNC taking a lighter course load, I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care. My schedule is especially flexible on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, allowing me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I’ll take the time to help your pet feel comfortable with me and adjust to their personality and energy level. I’ll also respect your home and send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 and love animals of all kind! I am organized, patient with all pets, and will give extra love to your animals. I’ve worked with both puppies, senior dogs, and in-between. I’ll make sure your dogs’ needs are addressed whether it’s long walks, spending quality time with them, or giving them extra cuddles. I am currently a full-time student but would love to take care of your pets between my classes or on weekends. If your pet has specific time requirements I'm happy to discuss the details of my availability! I am not able to keep pets in my own home but I can take care of yours. I don’t mind staying overnight if desired!
“Rosa is a great sitter. She took perfect care of our pets, including our very sick kitty with special medication needs. She is prompt, energetic, and communicative. We will use her again”
About: With 12 years of experience in pet care, I have a deep passion for ensuring pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. My services include overnight pet care, drop-in visits, and 30-minute dog walks, all tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your pets. Whether it's providing companionship, administering medication, or simply taking your dog on a refreshing walk, I am committed to offering reliable and compassionate care. Your pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create an stress-free experience for both you and your pets. As a grad student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to play with your pups and ensure they get the exercise and care they need throughout the week and on weekends. I care for dogs in your home, following your specific instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm diligent about keeping dogs on leashes or harnesses during walks and am comfortable crating them if needed. My goal is to maintain their routine and provide attentive care while you're away.
“We loved Brooke! She came for a Drop-in visit. The first time I messaged her, she was quick to respond. She offered to come for a meet and greet free of charge before her first visit. She was easy to talk to and enjoyed our pup. I felt good about asking her to take our fur baby. I appreciated the pictures she sent during her visit. I will definitely use her again!”
“Sharon put us at ease from the second she arrived at our place, and she took such excellent care of our little pack. She's a true professional and I can't recommend her enough.”
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
About: I have always grown up with animals. In my house I had four dogs and one cat and have always loved to take care of them. I also love to be outside so would be willing to take long walks or go to dog parks. I am currently a graduate student at UNC with lots of free time for dog walking or pet sitting opportunities. I live in an apartment with other animal lovers so overnight visits wouldn’t be an issue. I am very clean and organized and would be extremely careful pet sitting in another persons home. I would prefer dog walking or stop in visits.
“Caleigh was great with my dogs. Even my big mastiff. She watched 3 dogs for me and did a wonderful job. She was on time and was able to get pictures of all of them each time she came by. I booked her late but she was responsive and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: In addition to taking care of dogs, I can usually teach them a trick or two! I've been around animals my whole life, and I enjoy the company of any critter. Fun fact: my family has always had Boston Terriers, so I have a soft spot for our short-snouted friends! I currently work a full time job at UNC 9-5 M-F, but I am free nights and weekends and can always use my mornings/lunch break to check on your furry friends in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Durham area. I do have a small dog at home, so I can’t spend the night unless she is allowed to come with me. I like to ensure that pets get the appropriate amount of exercise needed for their size and age. This means I will take the time to play with your pets indoors or outdoors, and ensure that bigger dogs have longer walks to get all their energy out. Either way, your pets will have a great time with me! I’m open to whatever the needs of your pets are, just let me know what their usual routine is.
“Lyn was amazing! We needed someone last minute for our special needs dog and didn’t even hesitate. She took great care of our pet and respected our house and property. Our dog loved her and we are excited about having her as an option to sit for us in the future.”
“I can always count on Abigail for caring for my cats with such detail and kindness. My cats absolutely love her. She’s always dependable and amazing with animals. I love booking her when I’m out of town. She is my go to!”
“I am forever grateful for Serina. I had to cancel my sitter due to a lack of communication and book Serina last minute. She responded quickly to my question, putting my anxiety at ease. She was sweet and gentle with my Cleo and I am forever thankful.”
About: I’m a responsible and dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping them safe and happy. I’m punctual, trustworthy, and comfortable following any special instructions for your pet. 🐾 I attend school until 4pm, and I also have practiced 3 days out of the week. However, I’m almost always free on Wednesday, Friday, and on the weekends. I have two small, and very friendly dogs that will keep others company. I have many tools that I might need such as extra dog bowls, leashes, toys, treats, a large quantity of dog beds, etc. I’m a very physical/active person so I will make sure they will get all the exercise they need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Calvander
Great communication from Aiden and we appreciated all of the updates and check-ins. Our dogs took to him quickly and we felt super comfortable leaving them with him. He was also super flexible when our vacation plans fell through halfway. We will definitely rebook and highly recommend!
Nicole was fabulous! We have an almost 12-year old dog who can be a little skittish about having his harness put on. Nicole got him all setup and took him out on a walk where he was able to stretch his legs and sniff to his heart's content. Great photos and follow up. Excited to book with her again!
Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.
Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)
Cassie is amazing! My partner and I both work in health care with crazy schedules and sometimes need a check in last minute. Cassie is super flexible and always very responsive. She’s been a great help and resource in times of need and our dogs love spending time with her.
Maren was just wonderful!! She took perfect care of my cat, Sophie, who is now demanding more love from her mom after all the love that Maren gave her, lol! This was my first time using Maren as a sitter and as long as she stays in the pet-sitting business, I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Maren!
This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her
Sarah is truly a gem. She stopped by throughout the weekend to care for our cat and was wonderfully reliable — always on time for feedings and making sure Dua got her medication. She also follows the golden rule of cat‑sitting: always send the humans plenty of photos and videos 😊. We’ll happily have Sarah look after Dua again anytime she’s up for it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Calvander is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 4,904 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Calvander. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Calvander. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
