About: Hi! I'm Emily, and we just moved to the Avon/Danville border with 10 acres of play room. I have 5 kiddos who will love and snuggle your pet just like you would. Your pet will fit right in with our loving family. We have a military German Shepard (14 years old) who is just a lazy girl anymore but use to different dogs in her home. We have experience in caring for many types of pets and have experience giving medications. I work from home so I am here with them all day so your loved one is not locked in a kennel all day. **Please only select times that you can be here for pick up and drop off. I work from home so I move meetings around the times that you select or kids activities for pick up and drop offs. You not being on time may result in me not be available at the time you decide to show up. I am flexible, but only with communication.** Looking forward to spending time with your pet! I work from home so I am able to have a more strict schedule on letting your loved pet outside, take on walks, and dispense medication. Kids are home and will snuggle and play even more with your pet as wished. I have two friendly dogs and 5 kiddos who can help keep your baby company and well cared for. We really try to follow your schedule. If you crate train, then we will continue your schedule. If not, then we won't. We really try to follow what your pup is used to to ease any anxiety.
“Miranda took great care of our dogs and bunnies! She communicated with daily reports while we were gone. She went above and beyond to keep our house neat and tidy. As a first time Rover customer this was a great first experience. I would rebook with Miranda in the future, and recommend her to others.”
About: I had a small dog growing up, I lived with my roommates small dog for a year, and I pet sit (overnight at my house) for my friend’s Yorkie often. I am an active walker and have a yard. I live alone with no kids or other pets. I am looking to bring some reliability and loving care for your pet! I work full time Monday-Friday 15 minutes from my home, so I can come home during my lunch hour, but I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays usually. I am available for daily walks after 5pm, sitting/boarding Thursdays-Sundays. I have a clean and pet friendly 3 bedroom home and neighborhood. I have a backyard and walk daily. I can crate if needed. I will take care of all needs instructed by owners.
“Charlene had great energy and we liked her instantly. She was attentive to our requests and was understanding to our dogs anxiety! She sent pictures and updates! Left our house in great condition! We are so grateful for her!”
“This was our 1st time using Danielle and could not be happier with her. She communicated quickly with us, sending updates and photos of our 2 dogs. Out of concern our poodle not eating (1st time being left alone) she was excellent at being creative to get her to eat and make sure they were healthy. Our great Dane didn't care, she eats no matter what. Haha. The house looked great when we got home and look forward to working with Danielle again. Definitely recommend.”
“As always. Zach was the best dog and house sitter! Goes above and beyond, sends lots of photos and videos, and makes sure our dog is getting lots of love and care while we’re away.”
About: I have been a lover of animals since I was a kid, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats! I have sat many people’s animals within my family and friends and I even have a dog and cat of my own! I work part time at Amazon, so I’m only gone for a few hours in the mornings. The rest of the day I usually spend with my pets, and/ or with yours! I care for pets in my home/ other people’s homes by making sure they’re fed, their water is clean and they have had plenty of play time with me or other animals, and of course, lots of cuddles!! (If they like cuddles.)
“Gracie is absolutely wonderful! She is very friendly and easy to work with—she came right out to do an initial meet and greet to see if we were a good fit. She has been just great with our animals, clearly spending a lot of quality time with them, and she has been very reliable and responsive with communicating. Gracie is a great house guest too—she left the house in pristine condition ! We felt very comfortable leaving our home and animals in her care for the first time, and will be definitely be using her again. We highly recommend her services 😁”
“Reliable, thorough and kind! Damica took care of Rocky and our house while we were away on vacation and sent multiple pictures everyday without prompting. It felt relieving to know our dog was in great hands.”
“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was very communicative starting from our meet and greet, and throughout the stay. We also got lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. She was very attentive to Lola and Callie and made sure to let us know right away when Lola had a little upset stomach. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in her care and came home to happy pets. We’d definitely be happy to have her care for them again!”
“I booked Laura for the first time as a drop-in for my 3 dogs. She not only let them out, but she played with them and loved on them. I appreciate the time she spent letting them get to know her. I will be booking her in the future! She was wonderful.”
About: I have a 6 month old dog I already take care of and just love animals and being around them and to just be there. I’m really free anytime of the week and can suit to your schedule also. I am available to work with your schedule anytime offered up. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around also with treats,toys,and a cage with a little dog bed if it’s needed.
“Jocelyn was Absolutely Fantastic. She treated our fur babies like her own. And kept us updated along the way. We reached out to her because we were in a pickle for a dog sitter . And Jocelyn came and met our dogs … who absolutely loved her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Faith did a great job she showed up on time and followed my instructions perfectly. Ozzie is a little nervous in his old age and she made sure to spend time with him and keep a close eye on him to keep him settled. I would use Faith again for sure.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have been taking care of my own pets for 11 years now. My family have relied on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation. I would love to extend my love for animals by helping you take care of your fur babies when you’re not able to. I’m currently working full time. I’m able care to for your pet’s needs before I go to work and after I get home from work. I always feed and water my pets in the morning and let my dog outside in our fence in yard to use the bathroom. Then when I get home from work I make sure my pets have water, will fed my dog again, and take him outside to use the bathroom. I try to take my dog on a daily walk every evening. On the weekends I don’t work so I’m able to tend to the pets more. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I also have two cats that are very friendly as well. I know how it is to be away from your fur babies so I will make sure to send lots of pictures and updates.
About: I’ve lived with a variety of dogs and cats over my life time and always been the one friends and family call to watch their babies. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of free time to watch your pets! I offer local drop ins, and over nights if needed. If booking an over night, I’m willing to travel. I can stay at your home and keep your cat or dogs in their regular routine. They don’t need anymore stress than you being gone! Feedings, giving medication or supplements, going to potty, walks, crating, cuddles, treats, and a nightly refresh are among some of the basic things I offer while pet sitting.
“On top of an awesome temperament, Michaela is also a great communicator. Our furry child is super anxious, very reactive and gives no indicators of when he’s getting fed up (until you find out that he’s fed up). In the past, he usually doesn’t open up to sitters; however, Michaela was able to get him to let her pet him (which never happens)! To complicate our booking, our poor little guy had his first ever seizure two days before the booking was to begin. It was very hard to leave him, especially since Michaela was new to us. She was confident in her capabilities to care for him still, and she managed his care like a champ.”
“Tasha did a great job dog sitting Nala for me! She was kind, attentive, and caring toward Nala and was willing to work with me on scheduling! It was so nice to be able to go out of town for a night and have peace of mind knowing my girl was being taken care of by a fellow animal lover :)”
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, chickens, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! Typical Routines: maintaining food and water schedule as requested (plus cleaning food/water dishes daily), following scheduled potty breaks as directed, any enrichment/playtime/exercise activities, refreshing bedding, brushing/grooming, etc. Please refer to my calendar for more details about scheduling.I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or use a loud voice, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!

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 Cartersburg 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 Cartersburg 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 Cartersburg 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!

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 .

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.
