About: I’ve had experience with cats and dogs my whole life. My family has had various breeds of dogs from ragdoll, Pom, and weenie- to Rottweiler and German Shepard. I have experience with big and small dogs and have enjoyed them all. I’ve learned each pet like humans has their own individual needs, worries/anxiety, etc. I have had just as much experience with cats of various personalities- and have loved each one of them. I can ensure your furry loved one with be in safe, loving, and thoughtful care! ♥️ Hi, I’m a mom and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always had a special bond with animals. My days are centered around creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. If care is provided on weekdays, it would likely involve my son being around as well since he is part of my daily routine. He is gentle, respectful, and loves animals just as much as I do. Any interactions with pets would always be supervised, and I would make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow their routines and give them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re away from their family. I know being in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I like to keep their routine as normal as possible by following their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any instructions you provide. I love giving pets attention, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of affection, but I also respect when they need quiet time to relax. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel happy and secure. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re part of the family while they’re here.
“Julie and Jay were fabulous cat sitters! They were punctual and sent very detailed updates with photos for each visit! They spent extra time to play with our cats and even took out our trash at the end of the trip! Would hire again for sure!”
About: I love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I take meeting an animals and owners needs seriously and love making a connection with any pet. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to meet a variety of different needs. I am able to accommodate pets with higher needs. I am big on maintaining an animals current routine and upholding the rules and expectations set by owners to give pets as much consistency as possible when their owner is away
About: I was raised on a farm with cats and dogs. I have a plott hound mix, a pit bull, a lab, and a sassy calico cat, all rescues, of my own. I have a lot of compassion for animals and treat them like members of the family, albeit spoiled ones. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while their human(s) are gone. I am comfortable with cats and small to large dogs at any energy level. My neighbors, vet, and friends can provide references, if needed. I work in education, so my summer schedule is wide open. Nights, weekends, and some holidays are possible during the school year. I am able to check in, walk, stay overnight, etc. In your home, I will follow the instructions given and take pictures to let you know your pets are well taken care of. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
About: I’ve personally had dogs my whole life! I have experience with caring for senior dogs as well as puppies. I have a special place in my heart for labs, but I love them all! I’ve yet to meet a dog I don’t like. I have experience is administering meds, crate training, and providing overall care to your pet 😀 As a dog owner myself, caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. For boarding, I offer Thursday evening drop-offs, and pets must be picked up by Sunday. This helps me ensure each pet gets the best care possible during their stay In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly dogs of my own, Sunny and Ruby, so I understand the importance of maintaining a safe, loving, and structured environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I also make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy and well cared for
“Christopher took excellent care of my cat, Grey! He was very attentive, made sure she was fed, and kept me updated throughout each visit with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. Grey looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home. I truly appreciate the care and communication, and I would absolutely book with Christopher again. Highly recommend!”
“Prompt, responsable, and most importantly, kitty approved! My shy girls hung around for a peek and even let Megan grab a pic. We would highly recommend Megan and will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again.”
About: My life has been surrounded by animals, there was hardly ever a time when there was less than 2 dogs and a cat under our roof. Friends often had lots of pets as well so it was odd to not be around animals. I’ve helped with critters from stray cats, to foster dogs to gerbils. I am currently a college student home for the summer and have a very open schedule. My hours and days available are flexible and unlimited. I am not offering in home services at this time. I am very reliable and have taken care of my own pets as well as friends & family members.
About: I’ve lived in a home with dogs for my entire life. The last 13 I’ve had the privilege of caring for my own fur-babies. I lost my oldest in 2023 and I understand how our animals become family. I also empathize with senior animals who may need more attention and have to follow specific diet and medication schedules. Our animals deserve the best care; what’s the saying? Who really saves who? I currently work full time near the airport in Greensboro and am available for house sitting including overnight stays, lunch time potty breaks, after 5-6pm care during the week, and weekends. I unfortunately live in a rental that does not allow extra pets. I’m available to come to your home and into your pets space to make them feel comfortable and cared for when needed— following any instructions and set routines in place.
“Lindsay did a fantastic job even though my kitties are just being socialized. She was patient and took some time to try and play with them. She was very good with the directions that I gave her. Will definitely use her again when I travel.”
About: Hello, my name is Elizabeth I've always wanted to care for animals since I was 5yrs old. My first pet was a German shepherd/pitbull mix, he was my best friend. I'm a graduate from Ross medical education center in Huntsville,AL. I'm a certified vet assistant. I'm able to administer medication, change bandaging, and care for pets who are recovering from surgery. I have a passion for animals and making sure they're taken care of, is my number one priority. I will offer constant playtime and personal time for those that need it. I will also offer frequent potty breaks throughout the day, accompanied with water and shade. I'm not afraid of big dogs even if they're bigger than me. I love dogs of all sizes. I work at an emergency animal hospital in Greensboro. I work from 10pm to 8am Sunday-Thursday. I'm able to fit walks and home visits in between getting off work before having to clock back in later that night. Since I am a certified Vet Assistant and have extensive knowledge and experience in the vet med field, I can assure you your fur babies are safe with me.
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
“Danielle was great and very professional! She helped take care of my cats while I was on vacation and administered medications to one of them everyday. I felt comfortable being away on my trip with her there to take care of them! She did more than what was expected! Highly recommend!”

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 Colfax 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.
