“This was our first time booking Tayler to care for our pets while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She came by for an initial meet-and-greet, was professional, and took the time to get to know our pets and their routine. Throughout our trip, Tayler communicated clearly, provided updates, and cared for our pets as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such great hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. By the end of our vacation, we knew without a doubt that we’d be booking with her again. We highly recommend Tayler to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Would highly recommend Alissa! She took great care of our cat, shared thoughtful updates, fun photos, and was a great communicator. This was our first time with Alissa, but we will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Alissa!”
“Kennedy is awesome! She has watched our German Shepard dog a couple times now and she does a great job! She always sends pictures and updates and is quick to respond with any questions or requests we have. We always come home to a happy and healthy puppy too!”

“This was our first time leaving one of our dogs behind while we went out of town, and trusting a stranger not only with your fur baby but also your home and possessions is--for me, at least--anxiety inducing. I'm so glad we found Nicole. She is trustworthy and responsible, but more importantly she is compassionate, kind, and a true animal lover. Our pitbull was loved on and happy, and our home was safe and secure under Nicole's care. I cannot recommend Nicole enough, especially for neurotic control freaks like myself.”

I am currently working hybrid and can be in the home full time 5 days out of the week. I have unlimited PTO and can take off for emergencies if necessary.

About: Along with having cared for dogs my whole life, my most recent employment position was as a Dog Playgroup Supervisor in Massachusetts. My job was to pick up dogs from their homes and bring, on average, 8 dogs at a time to a private field for them to play and socialize together (As a treat take a look at my photos if you want to see some adorable puppy photos). I loved my job, but my partner and I have recently relocated back to North Carolina for him to attend flight school, and I am continuing my career in pet care! I love all animals and am passionate about providing exceptional care for your pet. I see pets as a part of the family, and since they can't communicate with words, I put great importance on reading their body language so I can help make our time together as safe and as comfortable for them as possible. I’m on my off-season from work, so most of my time is spent hanging out with my own dog Lucy! We spend our free time hiking and taking long drives to explore new places together! I am super passionate about caring for animals and plan to continue my career in animal care; caring for animals is my main priority. I feel it is very important to assess every pet and center my care to be focused on making your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I have professional dog care experience as a Dog Playgroup Supervisor and provide reliable and attentive care right in your pet's home. I follow instructions closely, as every pet parent knows every animal is different! You can spend your time away from your pet knowing they are in great hands. I will also keep you updated with photos and will keep you in the loop about how your pet is doing during our time together.
About: I have take care of pets my whole life and have had over a year of experience working in a pet resort where I got to experience taking care of all different kinds of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, etc. I also now work full time in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician assistant. Currently, I work full time as veterinary technician assistant 4 days of the week and this varies from week to week on which does those are. I am very willing to come on lunch breaks to do pet check-ins and/or potty walks, as well as move my schedule around to better fit pet owners. I make the pet's wellbeing and health my #1 priority when I am pet sitting because I know they will miss their owners when they are away and will do my best to make them as happy/content as possible. Having lists and notes that tell me about the pet's medications, routines, diets, and likes/dislikes is an additional help that will allow me to better suite the pet's needs that I am watching.
“short visit as requested, everything went according to schedule, jacob did a good job with my 2 dogs who were not familiar with him, dogs were fine and happy when i arrived home. will schedule jacob again in the future for a more involved stay.”

About: Just relocated to Raleigh for a work promotion. I’m a young professional woman in a new city looking for some furry companions to hang with through dog walking and to keep me busy in the mornings and evenings. I’ve grown up with dogs and I live in a nice apartment with the large Greenway walking trail in my backyard! My mother is an advocate for donating to animal shelters every year and we are a part of “Paws for a Cure” organization, helping dogs who can’t afford to get medically taken care because of financials so we raise money for them. I have had every type of dog size in my home growing up. I am true dog lover. Since I am my own boss, my hours are very flexible. I can do early mornings and evenings after 5 pm. I do not travel often so I am available nearby majority of the time. I have an nice apartment pet-friendly play area. Also plenty of walking trails, walking, food, treats, and water available for your furry friend to be in safe hands.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for the past 13 years. I have particular experience in watching dogs with a variety of medical conditions and am pretty adept at getting dogs to take their pills! I love to give a dog as much attention as they want, whether that’s playing, long walks, or plenty of belly scratches! I am currently interviewing for residency programs so I have an exorbitant amount of free time as I am off of clinical service for serval months during this interview season. I care for pets earnestly as if they were my own. Though I don’t currently have a pet, I babysit for my friends all the time who are busy doctors. I try to make the pets as comfortable as possible with me and try to provide as much attention as they are looking for, because I know it can be hard for them when their people are away.
“Ladies and gentleman, when I say that this you g lady is dependable, I mean “can you please drop everything because my baby hasn’t eaten in 5 hours” type of panic. She drop across town to stepped up to the plate which calmed my soul. Us pet parents are extra sensitive when we are out of town, she never complained or said no. Sweet and dependable and TRUSTWORTHY!!! Emphasis on TRUSTWORTHY! If you are looking for peace of mind, Jasmine is the right and only choice! I will be seeking her services again.”
“Phyllis was phenomenal with our anxious little guy. He doesn't warm up to just anybody and she got him to start showing his loving self even in the meet and greet. While we were out for the weekend she stopped by as scheduled - except for one day when she decided to come a little early because it was going to thunderstorm and she wanted to make sure he had solid outside time. So thoughtful and professional! She gave us great pics of our pup having a great time and thoughtful notes on each interaction, including any changes to the plan like with the thunderstorm. It's such a relief to know Barbecue is in good hands while we are gone and Phyllis helped us feel that way from the first drop-in until the last. We definitely hope to work with her again and would highly recommend her for others!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, growing up with both small and large breeds, so I understand how different their needs can be. I keep an active lifestyle with plenty of walks and playtime, but I’m also mindful of dogs who don’t do well in the heat, offering enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated and cool. My home is clean and completely smoke-free, so your pup will have a healthy, comfortable place to relax. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy or a calm place to rest, I’ll tailor my care to fit them I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog attention and care, not just quick check-ins. I can take dogs on multiple walks a day, keep them company, administer any medication on schedule, and adjust to whatever routine your pup is used to. Since I’m around all day, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can respond right away if they need anything In my own home, I have one dog, so your pet will get personal attention rather than being lost in a crowd. I keep counters, floors, and bathroom trash clear of anything edible, and my home is kept incredibly clean to make sure it’s a safe, healthy environment. It’s also a calm, non-smoking household, so your dog can relax without excess noise or stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat their safety and comfort as a top priority

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.
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 Franklinton 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.
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.

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 .
