“Justin was great! Sent great photos while we were away and was very communicative! The dogs loved him. He left our home clean and took great care of it while we were way. 5/5 would recommend!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Christi was absolutely amazing, giving the best updates and perfectly managing every detail. She created ease for us in ways that went above and beyond pet care, but we also felt confident that our fur baby was treated like a princess. We are so grateful for her level of care and highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience! Joy took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pets behind, but she made everything so much easier. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
“Hannah does such an amazing job with my dogs and cats. They are happy and relaxed when I get home each time. She leaves the place clean. And she communicates updates regularly with photos. Really appreciate her and highly recommend!”
About: I grew up in a family that always had pets and working dogs mostly mixed breeds and some purebreds. I have had two dogs (one at a time) in the last thirty years. My first dog was a registered black Labrador. My wife gave her to me on our second Christmas together. Her name was Genoa - after the Italian city I studied in as a grad student. She passed away at nineteen years old. I now have a Maltese - Shih Tzu. He loves to play fetch even though he is eleven years old. I do DoorDash part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work around your dog's routine to make sure they're fed and exercised regularly. In my experience, animals feel more comfortable and secure in their usual environment, so the only new element is my presence and how I interact with them. I have cared for dogs that need regular medications and exercise, and I maintain their schedule and activities as closely as possible. This is especially important to me when dealing with dogs who are crated or confined. I want to build a strong relationship with your pet based on trust and consistency.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring not just a love for dogs, but a deep understanding of their needs at every stage of life. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need play, structure, and basic training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, medication, and gentle handling. I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also pay close attention to each pup’s unique personality and routine, so your dog feels right at home—even when you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care each dog might need. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and activity throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to each dog’s needs, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and well-cared for at all times. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or favorite toys and routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and love while keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jennifer was such a wonderful caregiver for our babies, giving them so much love, attention, playtime, and just making sure all their needs were taken care of. She was so good about keeping us informed about everything and sending pics of our pups! I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely request her for any future care!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for family and friends for about 10 years, and I’ve loved every bit of it. Providing attentive, loving care for them has created memories I’ll always cherish. Looking after more pets would be a pleasure. I am currently a part-time student and attend classes two days a week (Tuesday and Thursday), which gives me plenty of downtime to help care for neighboring pets. I prioritize clear communication, tailored care, patience in earning your pet’s trust, respect for instructions and personal belongings, regular updates, and a clean space. Ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable.
About: About me: I have owned dogs ever since I was little. My love and passion for their care has never stopped and I continues to show this through the work I do. I started taking care of dogs in my neighborhood and then at Piper Glen Animal Hospital. I know every dog is one of a kind and pet parents should not have to pay extra for care their pets deserve. Her passion for dogs led me to help dogs get the individualized attention they need and help pet parents get the affordable care they've been looking for. I’ve proven herself through Wag, Rover, and Care which requires a clean background check. You and your fur babies will love the fun and interactive environment offered. I have a big heart. Especially, for animals. I have a flexible schedule & lots of time & freedom to enjoy my days with your pets . We will spend lots of time together inside and outside . I go above and beyond and do what I can to make sure your pets feel relaxed, comfortable, & right at home . It’s what I love to do
About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again
“Brianna was a Rockstar!!! Not only did I get a daily "Proof of Life" picture as requested, but I knew that Dali was having a blast the entire time I was gone. I'm usually a worry-wart about Dali, especially with a new sitter, but that went away very quickly. I will use Brianna again without question. Dali was a fan.”
“I feel I have discovered a hidden gem! Nia is wonderful. We did a meet and greet before Jaxon’s stay and my dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Nia and her husband are kind and friendly. I was hesitant at first not knowing how Jaxon would do with her dog, but Kevin must have been a generous host too - even let Jaxon borrow his bed 😉. Communication was great and I received many pics of Jaxon enjoying himself. Will definitely use again!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.
About: I have a combination of hands-on experience, active engagement, and genuine love for animals. I've spent the past 13 years caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. As a dog owner myself, I've personally trained two dogs, giving me experience with basic obedience, leash manners, positive reinforcement techniques, and understanding canine behavior. I don't believe in simply "watching" pets—I believe in actively engaging with them. Whether that means long walks, playtime, mental enrichment activities, or plenty of cuddles, I tailor my care to each dog's personality and energy level. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm attentive to routines, medication schedules, dietary needs, and behavioral cues, and I understand how important consistency is for a pet's well-being. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. When caring for your pet, I treat them like family—not just another booking. Their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already lead an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I go on daily walks and runs, making it easy to provide dogs with the exercise, playtime, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and quality companionship throughout the day. On other days, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive reliable, consistent care and attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play sessions, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, I'm committed to incorporating their needs into my routine and treating them like part of the family while you're away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Dogs in my care enjoy multiple daily walks tailored to their energy level, along with frequent play sessions to keep them active, happy, and engaged. I also love spending quality one-on-one time with pets, whether that's playing, relaxing together, or giving plenty of cuddles and affection. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, so I regularly incorporate enrichment activities such as puzzle toys, lick mats, and interactive games to keep pets entertained and mentally challenged. For dogs who are working on skills or manners, I'm happy to reinforce basic training using positive reinforcement techniques and consistency. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Treats are given in moderation (with owner approval), and my goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you're away.
“Hannah was fantastic. She was able to help on short notice and had excellent communication throughout the stay. I came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“It can feel uneasy opening your home to a stranger, so it was such a relief to have Jennifer. ☺️ Thank you, Jennifer, for taking the time to meet and greet, being accountable, communicating so well, and providing such great care. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands! 💖”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Catawba
Chloe was great! She was punctual and so attentive to our senior Golden girls. We appreciated all the pics and our girls always looked so happy in them. She stayed overnight and left our home cleaner than we left it! Chloe was recommended to us by neighbor/friends and we highly recommend Chloe!
We’ve used Rover for ten years and in that time have used many different sitters. Chloe was easily one of if not the best sitters we’ve had! She communicated clearly, sent updates, left the house clean, and, most importantly, seemed to genuinely care for our dog and took excellent care of him. We will definitely book with Chloe again!
Chloe stayed with my dog for 8 nights while I was on vacation. She communicated and sent me pictures of what they were doing every day. She stayed at my house the entire time so my dog was not alone. It was such a great way for my dog to stay in the comfort of her home while Chloe came to her to pet sit. Came home from vaca to a happy dog and clean house. Would/Will absolutely use her in the future!!

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 Catawba 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 Catawba 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 Catawba 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.
