“Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.”

“Lauren is fantastic! We were nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, but it was clear that our babies had a blast while we were gone. We have a cat who usually hides in the closet whenever friends come over to watch him, but he actually came out and let Lauren give him scritches! Her communication was great, she was reliable, and we always knew our pets were doing well.”

Our dogs loved her and were so spoiled when we got home!! We couldn't be happier and will 100% use her again! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have lived with, owned, and taken care of dogs, large and small, for my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to help care for their animals when in need. I have experience with other animals as well including, but not limited to, rabbits, fish, and livestock. Daily, I work 7:30-5:30 M-Th, but I set my own hours, so my schedule can be altered as needed with notice. I do not work F-Sun or any federal holidays. I can drop-in or do walks before and after my work hours unless, otherwise, specified. In my client's homes, I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will only go where specified to go in the home as well as only do the requested services.

About: I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats professionally. I also have some experience caring for guinea pigs, rabbits, and chinchillas. I have worked at doggie daycare facilities/vet clinics, grooming salons, and an animal shelter. I have experience cleaning kennels, walking dogs, administering medications, and providing daily care for the animals. I have been told that I am especially good with dogs that are really shy and scared. I currently work part time in the morning around 8-10 and get off around 4-7. I am available to provide pet care before and after work. While caring for your pets, their health and happiness is my priority. It is important to me to make sure they are well taken care of. It is rewarding for me to become acquainted with them like they are my own. I like to play with them and spend as much time with them as needed.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.

About: I started taking care of multiple cats since I was a young teen, and then dogs when I became a dog bather! I worked with Petsmart for about 6 years. I’ve watched countless animals for friends and family throughout the years! in addition to that we also have fish, an axolotl, and hermit crabs. I am a stay at home mom of a newborn! I am not currently working and I am looking for extra ways to make money and I love pets! So this just seems the obvious choice. I have a fenced in backyard, although I do not own a dog I have cared for them for friends or working as a dog bather off and on for years! I do have cats now who are basically my second children. They eat a varied diet, so I can handle any pet’s diet. I also am able to administer medicine to pets as I have to mine times before. aka pills, drops, ect. All my animals are up to date on vaccines and go to the vet for check ups regularly.

We went away for two nights; our 3rd time using Rover. Billie was responsible and followed all instructions. We appreciated having someone reliable dropping in on the pups. We will continue to book with Billie.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Catawba

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
