About: I worked with wag for over a year, offering various services. I offered walks, drop-in visits, and pet sittings. I had multiple reoccurring clients, who enjoyed my interactions with their pets. Pursuable planning! I plan and organize pet care around my current work schedule. I am available to provide services throughout the week and the weekend. I establish/follow a scheduled routine, while providing a safe and comfortable environment. I enjoy giving a daily dose of fitness, fun and lots of love!
“Devon is a real star! She communicated clearly & promptly when we first connected, she smoothly arranged a meet and greet to get a sense of our pup Willow and her routine, and most importantly took fantastic care of Willow during a week of drop-ins with walks. She also sent super cute pics of our pup, always a bonus :) Willow looks forward to seeing Willow again!”


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 a 10 year old golden retriever at home :) I also regularly volunteer at animal shelters, where I walk the dogs, give them some play time, and put them back in their kennels. I am a current senior at UNC! I get out of class at 11 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and am free for walks and check ins during the day. In your home, I’ll love your pets as if they’re my own. I can easily put them in their crate when needed, and am more than happy to play with them outside, take them for walks, and give them lots of love
“Annabelle was just fantastic. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and so helpful when an unexpected issue came up. My cat was smiling (if you know you know) in all the photos. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: My name is Hilit and I am a long time pet lover and grew up with 2+ dogs, 2+ cats, and many other small creatures in my home at all times. I now live with my 4 y/o aussie, Toast, and my two kitties, Suzy (13 y/o) and Fig (2 y/o). In addition to caring for my own pets, I've fostered dogs and young kittens for years. I love walkin with dogs big or small and am always down for chillin with cats and giving them the love and attention they want. I am a licensed occupational therapist, but am currently transitioning into a new job, so am around the house most of the time and running on a flexible schedule. I can't wait to hang out, play with, and/or walk your beloved dogs and cats! I look forward to talking. I am currently studying for the national Occupational Therapy board exams so am flexible in my schedule. I have animals of my own at home, so am used to taking care of them throughout the day and have a lifetime of experience with most animal-related tasks. I have a gentle and loving home where I really let my animals personalities grow. We raise our pets with rules out of respect for our home, guests, and our own boundaries, but create a pretty open and loose environment where our animals can explore.
About: I am a dependable and passionate pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for my own dog, walking other dogs, and providing attentive dogsitting. I am a lover of all furry friends and enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. I aim to follow exact care instructions and recommendations, whether it be feeding routines or playtime habits. I strive to ensure each pet in my care is happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. As a college student, I meticulously manage my schedule to ensure pet care is always a top priority. My routine is flexible and allows me dedicated time throughout the day for walks, play, feeding, and quality attention. When I take on a booking, my full commitment goes into caring for each pet. I prioritize a safe and structured environment when caring for each pet. I strictly follow all instructions, house rules, and preferences. I send regular updates and photos throughout each booking, offering an assurance that your pet is in good hands.
About: Call me Joe. My wife and I love animals. We’ve cared for pets our entire life—dogs, cats, birds, and even a chameleon. Originally from Japan, we're skilled at training pets through hands-on experience. We're especially patient with puppies and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. A naturally tidy and organized person, we keep your home and pets happy, safe, and cared for. We share responsibilities together. I usually handle the dog walks, while my wife not only helps me, but she also brings comfort to pets. I currently work multiple jobs, but my schedule is flexible. My wife, Hitoko, also helps with pet care, and together we make a great team. If I need to work in the evening, she is usually home after work to make sure your dog receives attentive and dependable care. We don’t currently have any pets in our home, so visiting pets receive my full attention. We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with an on-site dog park, providing a safe and welcoming environment for walks and playtime. However, our children may occasionally visit with their pets on weekends or during the holidays, so we prefer dogs that are friendly and comfortable around other animals.

“Our dog can be anxious. We set up a weekly walk with Tina on days when we are less available. Our dog does great with Tina for a walk or run. It has worked out great for us. Tina communicates well and is reliable.”

About: I have experience in handling a variety of dog personalities and breeds, as I have three dogs and a cat living with me (one could say it’s a zoo!). I feel confident in my abilities to care for your pets and love to send update pictures to let you know how they’re doing! I currently work part-time as a nanny and have a wide range of availability, allowing me to care for your pets around the clock and at almost any time of the day- especially meal times (which your pet may argue is the most important time!). I know how to maneuver an invisible fence as well as leashing a dog to go outside. I always keep an eye on them regardless of the fence situation as a precaution and watch out for skunks and other wildlife at night. I feel comfortable crating animals and cleaning up after them, whether it be for a litter box or outside. I also take the time to play with your animals and spend time petting them to ensure they feel well-loved and taken care of.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager- my family has always fostered puppies ranging in age and care level needed. I have experience with bottle feeding puppies from just a few days old until they're ready to be adopted. I also have cared for dogs with health concerns that impact ability level. My roommate is a vet tech at our local shelter, and I'm in nursing school, so anything that could possibly go wrong will be handled promptly and safely! I have experience with meal prepping for clients, drop in visits throughout the day, and overnight stays (all doggies are always allowed in my bed if that's what they prefer!) I'm in nursing school so a lot of my time is spent studying at home! On class days, I will usually be gone 9-4, oftentimes getting home earlier. Those days for the fall are Wednesday and Thursday. Alternating Saturdays are unavailable as I will have an all day clinical shift- my calendar has been updated to reflect the blocked off dates, but feel to ask for clarification on any days! The other days of the week I will be home most of the time. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grass and walking trails nearby. I'm on the ground floor and it's an outdoor style setup, so there's no worrying about elevators or long hallways when needing to go outside. I'm very flexible in my plan of care- I strive to keep routines as normal as possible, whether that means your fur baby sleeps in the bed or in their crate for comfort, I'm happy to oblige!
About: I’m a recent college graduate with a degree in Biology and a current Phd student, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the outdoors. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy Border Collie for over 10 years, and I currently have a cat who keeps me on my toes. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family — I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. As someone who’s both science-minded and nature-loving, I bring a calm, observant, and compassionate approach to pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, structured playtime, meds, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always send updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible — I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits most days of the week, including weekends and holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your routine and find a time that fits your needs! When caring for dogs in their homes, I prioritize keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy in their own space. I follow your routines closely — from walk times and feeding schedules to favorite toys and bedtime habits — so your pup feels as relaxed as possible while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, tidy, and communicative, always keeping you updated with messages and photos. With a background in biology, a love for animals, and years of experience caring for family and friends’ pets, I’m confident handling dogs of all energy levels and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to give them the care and attention they deserve.

About: Hey, my name is Tiffani! I've been taking care of my own pets since I was about ten years old. Along with that, I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for about the same amount of time. I currently have two dogs, Draco and Rhino, who are both pitbulls, so I have experience caring for big dogs. Although I do not currently have a cat, I have experience caring for cats and kittens and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. I will provide a wide variety of services, including walks/potty breaks, feeding, playtime, administering medication if needed, and overnight in-home sitting. I am also happy to help with basic grooming, such as brushing and keeping your pet’s area tidy. My goal is to tailor my services to each pet's needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As for my availability, I am in college and work part-time, but my schedule is still very flexible. That means I can stop in for quick visits, hang out for longer play sessions, or even stay overnight if your pet needs extra company. Making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved is always what matters most to me! While I am currently in school, working part-time, and volunteering at an animal sanctuary each week, I am very comfortable managing a busy schedule. In addition to caring for my own pets, feeding, walking, playing, and of course, cuddling, I am more than happy to fit your pets into my routine. Whether your pet needs an hour-long walk or overnight care, I am flexible and prepared to accommodate their needs. My dogs get along very well, even though they were introduced to each other a few years apart. However, they must be fed separately to prevent any fights or food stealing. I also have experience caring for dogs who cannot be in the same space together. Because of this, I am fully capable of handling specific care requests, whether that means feeding pets separately or maintaining a safe distance between them for their safety.
About: I have always had pets throughout my life. Not only have I taken care of the ones I have at home, but since the age of 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to take care of their pets. I take care of their basic needs and I always I make sure to stay and hang out with the pets as well! I’ll play with them, take them on walks, and give them all my attention while I am with them! Even with my full-time school schedule as a graduate student at, I make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are reserved for walks, feedings, and playtime, and weekends allow for more flexible care and attention. I’m committed to giving pets the attention and comfort they need while you’re away! I will care for and play with their pets before and after work. I can feed them, take them on walks, play with them in the yard, and just simply give them company. I am also able to do overnight stays at the pet’s home and dog walking either in the morning or the evening or anytime during the weekends.
“Amanda was absolutely incredible! She went the extra mile sharing lots of photos and updates! I will definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to my friends!”

Devon is a real star!

She also sent super cute pics of our pup, always a bonus :) Willow looks forward to seeing Willow again!

Aspen arrived on time and was very professional. She clearly has a lot of experience and enjoys taking care of pets. My dog, Charlie, loved her! She took him for a couple of walks, played fetch and gave him the food that I had left. I would definitely hire her again for my pet.
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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Carrboro is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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.

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.
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 Carrboro 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.
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
