About: Hi, I’m Erin! I’m a senior at UNC–Chapel Hill and have grown up with Dobermans my whole life. I have two rescue dogs at home: Tucker, a male Doberman, and Charlie, a female Lab mix. As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I’ll give your dog the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own, while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether your dog enjoys active walks, playtime, or a little extra company, I’ll follow your care instructions and respect their routine. You can also expect updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away! As a senior at UNC taking a lighter course load, I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to pet care. My schedule is especially flexible on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, allowing me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I’ll take the time to help your pet feel comfortable with me and adjust to their personality and energy level. I’ll also respect your home and send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
“Abigail was a wonderful friend to our old (dog) man Oaks while we were traveling. Dependable, communicative, and took great care of our buddy. We would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter again!”
About: Worked with Dogs and Cats both young and old. Along with a small range of farm animals like chickens and goats. Additionally I have works with some more unique pets like chinchillas. I have also done some house sitting off and on for a few years. Currently working part time over the summer so have more than enough time at all times throughout the week. I am free pretty much 24/7 all day every week but tend to like one day notice of booking. I have a small back yard that’s fenced in and more than enough space both within and outside my house. I also can let them out, feed, play, whatever they need if ever or whenever you would like me to go to your house.
“Lyn was amazing! We needed someone last minute for our special needs dog and didn’t even hesitate. She took great care of our pet and respected our house and property. Our dog loved her and we are excited about having her as an option to sit for us in the future.”
About: I have taken care of pets during the summer months for the last 8 years. I have experience caring for birds, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters/guinea pigs, & more for family and friends around my neighborhood. I own 2 cats that are very spoiled and well cared for. I am currently a full time graduate school student with a varying schedule. I try to fit in Rover appointments if I have the availability for them. I love cats and an experienced with different feeding schedules/types for a variety of pets. I usually like to take dogs on walks in the morning or evening when the pavement is not too hot. Depending on the pet’s personality, some need more playtime so I’d love to stay and play too!

Your pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create an stress-free experience for both you and your pets.

I care for dogs in your home, following your specific instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm diligent about keeping dogs on leashes or harnesses during walks and am comfortable crating them if needed. My goal is to maintain their routine and provide attentive care while you're away.
“Caleigh was great with my dogs. Even my big mastiff. She watched 3 dogs for me and did a wonderful job. She was on time and was able to get pictures of all of them each time she came by. I booked her late but she was responsive and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Betsy came to meet my puppy before her drop in sessions and got to learn about socks and meet him. He loved her immediately and she was good with him straight away. I love the photos each day. I would definitely recommend Betsy for all your pets needs, cannot thank her enough.”
“Kai was so wonderful with my cat Meabh. She was on time every day and treated my cat like she was her own. I could enjoy my vacation much more knowing my soul cat was in the best hands.”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our two particular fur babies! She was prompt in responses, reached out with any questions she had, and most importantly our cats loved her (based on the great photos she sent us)!! I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who clearly loves animals!”

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.
“Suzanne was phenomenal with my dog and took great care of him during visits while I was out of town. Walks, belly rubs, and play time, she sent detailed updates and ensured he was well taken care of.”
“Nicole was fabulous! We have an almost 12-year old dog who can be a little skittish about having his harness put on. Nicole got him all setup and took him out on a walk where he was able to stretch his legs and sniff to his heart's content. Great photos and follow up. Excited to book with her again!”

Ria did a great job taking care of Stormy. she handled all the feeding and enrichment tasks perfectly. She was able to quickly establish a good rapport with Stormy, which makes all the difference in the world. She was punctual and sent me session reports and photos after each visit. I highly recommend Ria for any cat-sitting task. Her approach is friendly, thoughtful, and professional.
Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.
Cassie is amazing! My partner and I both work in health care with crazy schedules and sometimes need a check in last minute. Cassie is super flexible and always very responsive. She’s been a great help and resource in times of need and our dogs love spending time with her.
Maren was just wonderful!! She took perfect care of my cat, Sophie, who is now demanding more love from her mom after all the love that Maren gave her, lol! This was my first time using Maren as a sitter and as long as she stays in the pet-sitting business, I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Maren!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dogwood Acres is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,185 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dogwood Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
