About: I’ve grown up with 2 large dogs my entire life and have always dog sat for my neighbors. I’m young, active and would love to make your pets happy and feel safe. I’m a part time nanny so I have lots of extra time at night or on days off! Feel free to message me for my availability! I know how to properly handle large dogs, dogs that may bite or jump as well as smaller dogs that sleep in crates. I like to let dogs out on a leash to ensure their safety as well as those around.
“Kayla was amazing! My cats loved her and enjoyed their time with her while we were away. She gives great updates and was pictures. I have a diabetic cat and Kayla had his insulin to him on time every day without any issues. She knows just what to do!”
“Kaylah was incredible with watching both my cats and my dog while my husband and I were on our honeymoon (12 days total). We have used Kaylah 2 times now and she is just wonderful. My dog is always sad to leave when we have to pick her up. It really does show that Kaylah loves animals and treats mine like her own. I 100% would recommend her. She’s awesome!”
About: As someone who’s herself had every breed from a Golden Retriever, to a Poodle, to a Great Dane- I’m no stranger to big and little dogs! I’m happy to care for and play with your dog or puppy at anytime. I love to incorporate fetch or tug-of-war time, as well as anything water-based! I’m currently available on Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sunday for any pet needs you might have! I’m flexible with my schedule, just let me know when any changes in availability come up and I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom apartment near the Riverwalk without any fur babies at the moment, so your animal has my full attention! Pets are also allowed on my furniture if so desired.
“April did an amazing job with our two cats! They immediately opened up to her and let their personalities shine. She did a great job caring for the boys which included the last minute addition of eye medication which she handled with ease. We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!”
About: As a veterinary assistant at a mixed-animal practice, I have hands-on experience caring for animals with a variety of needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, chickens, sheep, goats, cattle, and some pigs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care routines, and providing patient, attentive care. I’m always willing to learn and make sure every animal receives the care they need! I currently work Monday through Friday 8-5, so I’m available for pet care on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s needs and routine, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability! I’m occasionally available before and after work and I’m always available on holidays! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow your care instructions closely, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to go over their needs, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!
“I have complicated care instructions due to my cat’s health and Milena goes above and beyond to follow them exactly. She shows great care and compassion and is a pure delight.”
About: I have 3 years of personal experience taking care and watching animals especially dogs. I have a black lab who I love dearly and I will love your pets like they are my own. I also have experience of watching more than one dog at the same time. I have grown up with dogs and have been around dogs my whole life. I will take your dogs on long walks and play ball or frisbee with your dog if that is something they will like to do. Also if your dog needs to be brushed I will also brush your dog too. And last I am a very reliable and responsible person and I will make sure your pets are safe and taken care of. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I am able to leave and go any time I need too. I am available all the time. I care for a 6 year old black lab who I have had since he was 3 months old and he has a structured routine but also gets lots of treats and bones. I will care and treat your pets as if they are my own.
“Great sitter for our two kitties for a week, when our other sitter wasn’t available. Trustworthy and would book again. Courtney was responsive, took pictures of the kitties, and was not hesitant to ask questions while we were gone. She had no issues using our technical alarm system. We appreciated that she brought in our mail without being asked (we never expect our pet sitter to do this, but always appreciate it) and she was accommodating to our change in travel schedule. Thanks Courtney!”
“Did an amazing job at keeping my kitties happy, safe, and living in a clean environment! Always kept me updated with pictures and updates. Definitely would recommend her to care for any of your pets.”
“Andrea was so wonderful! She was incredibly patient and loving to our two fosters dogs who were nervous. She earned the trust of both and was able to care for them each day she visited. We are so thankful for her kindness and would recommend her to anyone who is cautious about someone new taking care of their fur babies.”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 3 and I am currently going to school for my Bachelors in Animal Science, therefore I would love to express my love for animals with caring for yours! I am a full time student at NC State but I am graduating in the fall so my schedule is really open right now where I can add pet visits either between classes or after classes. I will ensure that all instructions given to me will be followed completely and if I have an issue regarding the care of the pet(s) I will reach out to the owner immediately.
About: I have experience in giving cats their medicine! Pills, ointments in the ear, and food! I also have experience in cleaning the litter box, changing a water machine, and giving cats baths! I am currently in school, and I am working part time! To take care your baby, I will stop by at least three times a day to feed, play, and snuggle! I have a pet at home as well! I prefer to take care of your pet at their house! I first, make their meal (as needed). While they are eating, I usually scoop the liter and do everything the owners have asked me to do in their home! Then, I give them treat or medicine (if applicable) and play with them for a while!
About: I have 9 years of experience taking care of dogs, I enjoy that they are happy, I try to give them love, care and protection Currently I can offer this service from 8 am-2pm and at night (depending on what can be agreed) on weekdays, on weekends my schedule is usually longer so I will be able to adapt to the schedule you need. I hope that any change can be notified in time so that our communication is always ideal I know that walks are a special moment for dogs therefore they will always be the leaders, I do not rush them, I allow their sense of smell to be free (with caution), play with them either inside or outside the house and continue supporting if the dog is in training. If your pet is a little crazy, don't worry, I'll be patient so that your pet is happy and safe

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
