“Suzie is amazing! I have a very shy, skittish cat and within just a few visits she had her out and about interacting with her. She is a very kind and patient pet sitter and I’ll be using her for all my visits going forward!”
“Brianna was so nice and a FANTASTIC pet sitter. Always sent adorable photos of my pets and made sure they were happy and healthy. Messaged me if something seemed different allowing me to feel relaxed while away. My dog and cat were very happy spending time with her and I will be rebooking in the future :)”
“I could not have asked for a sweeter, kinder companion for my dog. Courtney was thoughtful and caring. She kept this nervous pet parent updated and sent pictures to reassure me all was well. I needed an extra day and she stepped up to do it. I will hire her whenever the need arises and she is available.”
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for three years and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I grew up with cats and recently cared for my own dog for 15 wonderful years, so I understand how important gentle, attentive, and loving care is. I work mornings, which allows me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings fully to your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize comfort, safety, and happiness I work mornings, which gives me plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings to focus on your pets. I love spending quality time playing, walking, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I follow routines closely and provide constant supervision.
About: I’ve worked in a dog daycare/boarding place for a year. I played, fed, bathed, and walked dogs. I worked with all kinds of dogs, big and small. I have a furbaby of my own that I take care of and walk and feed. I have had animals my whole life and haven’t gone even a month without one so I know a thing or two about tiring them out and taking care of them. I take care of my dog everyday and usually have a routine. Walk, feed, rest, play, walk, feed, rest. I usually go by how my dog is feeling and how she wants to go about her day. But I will always go by the clients wishes of what they want me to do for their dog.
About: I’ve been taking care of dog for over 12 years. I’m a big fan of dachshund I have owned 3! Absolutely love taking care of animals. I’m a private chef so I can make my own schedule. I’m available for boarding during the week and I can do walks during the day. I live in a house with an unfenced. I’m also fine with having your animals in the cage. There is plenty of space for them.
About: I’m a dog mom so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog. He’s my buddy and we’ve gone on more hikes and walks than I can count. I trained him when he was a little pup and I cared for him post surgery when he needed a little extra love and support (he gets a lot🥰). I’ve helped my family and friends by caring for their dogs when they go away or get stuck at work. I also volunteer at the animal shelter where most of my time is spent dog walking. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and my dog is my baby so I can promise that I will take the very best care of your pup!💛 I’m flexible with timeframes and requests as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to help and I can’t wait to meet your pup!😊 Being a dog mom, dog-sitting, and volunteering at the animal shelter have all helped me develop the necessary skills to take the very best care of your pup!
“Xiaoyu was very communicative and reliable, and she really cared and put in effort when the plan needed adjustment or emergency guidance. I will book her again next time!”
About: I've always believed our pets are family. They deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. I also believe that our pets have their own personalities that deserve to be understood. I've been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies, elder dogs and tri-pod dogs. I am a stay at home mother and I work part-time in the evenings. I have ame time during the day and early evenings to provide ample care for your fur babies. I understand that all pets have their own personalities and needs. And, I will provide the care they need to feel safe and loved. I enjoy going for long walks. And, have a reliable car that can fit large dogs if transportation is necessary.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Katie was very attentive to the animals and communication was great and she was on time and didn’t leave early! She sent lots of pictures which we love. I would recommend Katie and use her services again in the future without hesitation.”
“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.”
“Allyssa provided detailed updates with photos while we were on vacation. It was easy to relax knowing our fur babies were being looked after with love and care. We will definitely use again for trips and highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! I've always grown up in a two-dog household and love being surrounded by dogs! I am a photographer and a coach! I have quite a bit of free time to spend with the pups. If it's not to hot outside, we like to spend our days on walks or in the park. We also love a good rainy day to watch movies and play with toys! Your dog will be treated as if they are one of our own! I have two loving dogs that are always down to play, and love a good cuddle session!
About: Hello! My name is Bri. I’ve been caring for my own two dogs for the past two years, I have experience with daily care, exercise, routines, and understanding different dog personalities. I love animals and am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I’ll be attending school part-time at night, so I have plenty of availability during the day for pet care, walks, and visits. I’m excited to spend my days caring for pets and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! I do live in an apartment. However it does have a dog park. I have 2 dogs myself who love to play and can keep your dog company!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garner
Tori was an absolute gem to work with! We were 6 hours away in the mountains for our wedding, and having Tori look after our girls gave us peace of mind to focus on us. We loved getting the updates on how our girls were doing, and loved seeing all the photos she captured of our girls while we were away. We will absolutely book with Tori again!
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.

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.
