“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!)”
About: Growing up with parents that loved to pick up strays my love for animals came naturally. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats from all different shapes and sizes. My favorite lesson in life is that a man’s best friend is their pet. I want to help pet parents take the best care of their best friend while they are away! I am currently in college taking evening classes so i have my whole morning off to spend with your furry friends!! I enjoy going on nature walks and nothing would make me happier then to have your furry friend accompanying me I enjoy taking dogs to doggy parks or nature walks. Every dog is different so not all walks look the same. I like to encourage exercise and play time in my time with them as well as some downtime and bonding.
“Claire was reliable, communicative, and kind throughout the entire experience. I always felt confident that my dog was in great hands, and she kept me updated with messages and photos. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her! :)”
About: Dogs have been apart of my life for many years. I’ve been a dog owner for four years and have spent a decade pet sitting for friends and family. More recently, I’ve provided in-home care for a senior dog while their family travels, ensuring they remaining comfortable and maintained their regular schedule in a familiar environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your pet. I work full time, however I have flexible evening schedule after 6:00pm and I am available on both Saturdays and Sunday with morning, afternoon and evening walking hours. I also have more available schedule on Tuesdays with more flexibility. As a dog walker I keep your dog safe by walking them on a lease at all times in the designated areas that your dog is familiar walking.
About: Growing up, I was always the person that friends and neighbors called when they needed someone to care for their furry friends. I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, including seniors who benefit from extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I focus on providing reliable care, sticking to routines, and keeping owners updated every step of the way! As a grad student, I have an extremely flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate! I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. My classes take up a small portion of my week, which means more playtime and cuddles for your pet! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe and cared for while maintaining the routine they’re used to. I follow instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, meds, crate routines, and any other specific needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take time to learn their personalities and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for about 7 years, but I’ve had the opportunity to take care of my friends’ pets throughout the years. I’ve taken care of young and old pups as well as small to large. My availability is very flexible as I work part-time. My part-time work is flexible as well since it’s work I can do outside of set hours. I have a pug named Dorado who can be a companion to your dog while you’re away. I’m open to doing home visits as well as having your dog stay.
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She took such great care of my pet, treating them like her own. Throughout the stay, Kelly kept me updated with messages, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that really put my mind at ease. My pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved being with her. When I came home, everything was spotless and my pet was calm and content. You can tell Kelly truly cares—she goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I grew up caring for my neighbors' dogs, trained my own dog as a puppy, and I currently care for a senior dog, so I understand their special needs. I’m also familiar with managing different pet temperaments and have experience caring for my own cat, which has given me a well-rounded ability to handle various pets. I’m confident I can provide the attentive, loving care each animal deserves. I have a few part time jobs that allow me extra time to hang out with your animals. I also have weekend and evening flexibility. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure the environment is pet-proofed and provide plenty of space for exercise, play, and rest. I follow any specific care instructions, from feeding schedules to medications.

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.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including my family's two adorable King Charles Spaniels, which sparked my lifelong love for animals. Because my own pups were prone to health issues, I am incredibly patient and experienced in administering medication and providing attentive care. I dog-sit for friends and family, managing everything from feeding schedules to playtime. I regularly visit the Orange County Animal Shelter to take shelter dogs out through their Dog’s Day Out program, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a high-energy playdate, a patient hand for medication, or just some quality couch cuddles, I’m excited to welcome them with open arms! I’m unavailable in the mornings but I am available after 1pm Monday through Friday! I can do some weekends but my availability varies. Reach out with any questions about dates and times and I will get back to you as soon as I can. When caring for your pup, my top priorities are making them feel completely safe and loved. Whether staying in a cozy home environment or exploring the beautiful Chapel Hill greenways and trails, I tailor every day to your dog's specific energy levels and physical needs. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure you receive frequent, sweet photo updates of our adventures.
About: I have had a dog almost all of my life. I currently have a 9 year old Black Lab named Mia who I adore. I am a teacher and off for the summer so I am available pretty much any day. I love running and hiking so I am always willing to bring your dog with me! As said above, I am a teacher and I am off for the summer. I am free pretty much the entire day everyday to give your pet care. I enjoy spending time with my pets. Hanging out with them in the home, bringing them out for a walk or run, either on a trail or in the woods, and bringing them on a car ride to go complete daily errands.
About: I was lucky enough to have a Mom with a full time job as a pet sitter, so I grew up helping her care for a variety of animals. I have always been an animal lover, and now that I’m working from home with a lot of flexibility, I have ample time and opportunity to give the best care possible to your 4-legged friends! I’m currently working from home and have a lot of flexibility with my job, so I have lots of time to dedicate to your pets! I am available most weekends for boarding, as well as during the week for walks and extra attention :) I live in an apartment complex with lots of space for walks and exercise. The complex also has a dog park where dogs are free to run and play!
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals. From adolescence and into adulthood, I have taken on the responsibility of petsitting and dog walking my own animals and those of family and friends. I love to spending time with animals and look forward to caring for yours! I am currently a college student. This means my flexibility is very high and I’m available during most of the day during the week. Every pet, their preferences, and the routines established by their owners are unique. I find it best to cater to the needs of the pet and their owners.

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.
Katherine was great to meet and it looked like Maddie did well despite her having separation anxiety. I appreciated the pictures and feedback. It looks like Maddie warmed up to her and enjoyed her potty breaks. I would use her again. She showed up as expected which was very important to me!

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 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.

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.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
