“This is our second time having Mattea watch our animals, but this was our first time just doing drop-in visits for just our cat, Narri. She was just as communicative, provided lots of pictures, and was so caring to Narri.”
“My kitties who tend to avoid strangers continued to eat their food and were in good spirits when I got back. Jordan handled all the logistics of everything with a great attitude.”
“Very thankful for Austin’s help and professionalism! We appreciated all the updates and photos! We felt very comfortable having them over for visits and would definitely book again in the future!”
“Coco was such a great cat sitter! I have a cat who needs to be medicated twice a day and I was worried that he wouldn’t take his meds with someone he didn’t know but coco was so great with making sure he took them and updating me. My cats seem to really enjoy her company :)”
About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs for years, including my own two dogs with very different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, larger dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving lots of attention and affection. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, organized, and used to following routines and specific instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while they’re with me! During the school year, I work as a teacher, so I’m primarily available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on school breaks. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. My schedule can vary, so I’m always happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can meet their pet’s needs. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. My apartment community has a dog park for convenient outdoor and play time, and with owner permission, I also enjoy taking dogs to larger parks like Dorothea Dix and Lake Benson. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, personality, and comfort level. During boarding, your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love, along with pictures and updates throughout their stay!
About: I've always loved dogs. I've taken care of all different breeds, sizes, a special needs dog, and senior dogs for about 10 years. I had two loving rescues. I rescued my girl when she was 10 weeks old...and potty trained and crate trained her. I've also administered oral medication in pill and liquid form with success! I'm a very patient, loving, honest and hardworking care provider...who will always put your dogs needs first and love them like they are my own! I work part-time as a nanny so I'm available for dog sitting in your home, drop ins, walks, and trips to the vet or groomer While staying in your home I'm able to take your dog out on a leash for frequent potty breaks and walks. I'm able to feed, water, administer medicine, play, give lots and lots of snuggles, and belly rubs. I'm also able to take a trip to a dog park if you would like
“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”

I make sure to show them some love and affection while I visit.

About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have always have a love for all animals especially dogs and cats. I can’t wait to show you that your babies will be in great hands with me. I’m currently working full time, but I don’t start work until 12pm so I will have plenty of time in the morning to play and tend to your babies and I am off at 830 pm, so can always go back end of day to check on them again if need be! I will take the instructions of what you would like in your home and what your babies are most comfortable with, to try not to switch up their routines much.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been caring for dogs for the past five years. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes, so I’m happy to adapt to each pup’s unique needs and personality. I work from home, which means your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. I can administer medications, provide potty breaks and walks every 2–4 hours, and I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also have a friendly Pomsky who loves making new dog friends if your pup enjoys socializing. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work from home full-time, so your pet will have company and supervision throughout the day. Dogs go outside for potty breaks every 2–4 hours, enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of attention.

About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.
About: Loving, reliable pet sitter for drop-in visits! I’ll stop by for walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles to keep your furry friend happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I currently have availability on weekends and before 8 am Monday through Friday. I work a full time job so evenings can be available on request. I am not currently offering in home boarding but will ensure your pets safety at your home! I am happy to follow any and all rules/requests.
About: We are Ashley (left) and Rachel (right)! When we met, one of the main common interests we bonded over were our love for animals (especially our dogs) which has led us to this exact moment! We have had and have taken care of dogs all our lives and are looking forward to meeting and being able to take care of yours. We understand each dog has their own needs, requirements and preferences and look forward making your dog feel as at home and as safe as possible! We have a big back yard for your dog(s) to run around in. We also live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walks if needed or requested. All beds and couches are open for the dogs to lay on, we also have plenty of dog toys and treats as well! We have enjoyed being able to meet all the dogs and love that all their personalities are so different from each other. It’s also been nice to create relationships with new and reoccurring clients and look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby! We both work full time but are usually home every weekend and every evening so we are here if you need us and your baby will have good company! *** We are currently only doing drop in visits for the time being, mostly on the weekend as we work full time and morning check ins are not always doable. *** We have a decently sized fenced in backyard so they’ll have a good place to run, sniff and explore on their own time… but in the safety of an enclosed yard! During feeding time everyone is fed separately so no one has to worry about their food being eaten by someone else and made to feel like they have to guard it. We understand that leaving your furry family members can be a nerve-racking time, you just want them to be as loved and cared for as they are when they’re with you.. we will keep you updated with lots of photos to help reassure you and we encourage you to reach out as much as you need to! We will ultimately treat your fur baby like they are our own and we’re grateful for you trusting and allowing us to do so!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garner
I absolutely love Alexandria!! 🐾❤️ She is so caring, dependable, and treats Luna like she’s her own. Every time she comes to let Luna out and spend some time playing with her, I know Luna is in the best hands. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s getting attention, love, and plenty of playtime while Im working or away. I couldn’t ask for someone better to care for my girl! Luna absolutely loves her, and we highly recommend her! 🐶💕
I contacted Reagan on short notice (2 days) and thankfully she was able to help us. We communicated by text. She responded to my text in a timely manner, arrived on time, loved on my dogs, gave updates, and secured home. I look forward to working with Teagan in the future!
I am incredibly grateful to have found Lori! She has been super easy to communicate with and is incredibly responsive. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for the well being of the pups she works with. She is patient and kind when it comes to my senior, special needs dog.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garner stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Garner 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 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.
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.
To find sitters in Garner with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
