About: I have been petsitting and dog walking my neighborhood pets for several years and had the privilege to work as a research technician who helped in husbandry at UNC Chapel Hills Division of Comparative Medicine canine unit. I love making new furry friends and gaining experience to help my pre-veterinary journey as a college student! I am available every day of the week starting June 30th seeing that i am home for the summer from college. I am available during the hours of 8am-8pm and am interested in house sitting. I have a fenced yard for my dog to keep them from getting out and my cat is an inside cat who stay in the upstairs bedrooms
About: Hello! My name is Bri. I am home all day while attending school online, which allows me to provide your pup with plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have been caring for my own two dogs for the past two years and have experience with daily routines, exercise, playtime, and understanding different dog personalities. I truly love animals and am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care for every pet I look after. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your pup with the same love and attention I give 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!
“Courtney was great! She took great care of my cat and was flexible when I added additional visits to her schedule. She made sure to update me on when she was visiting and sent plenty of pet photos during her visits. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
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: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9. My friends, neighbors, and other family members have entrusted me with their furry friends! I have two dogs of my own. Allie is my sweet 10 year old beagle and Luke is my silly little (but big) 6 year old yellow lab. They have taught me how to have patience with dogs and to know when it’s time to play or nap. I have some level of pet training with having to train my dogs with simple commands from when they were puppies. I have dogs of different sizes that I also taught me how to take care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I will love and care for your pets as well as attend to the environment around them. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs who need a little more attention then others. I am committed to making not only your pet but also you feel comfortable and trusted with me. I am currently a part time employee at American Eagle so I will have plenty of time to play and hang out with your furry friends. I am also a student at UNC which allows me to create a flexible schedule to accommodate all of your pet’s needs. In my own home I care for my pets by playing with them, feeding them on time, taking them on walks after each meal and during the day to help them get exercise. I also care for my pets by being in the same room as them so that they feel loved. In a clients home, I strive to treat each pet as if it was my own, by providing for them the same as I provide for my dogs.
“Taylor took great care of out dog while our family we were away for a few days. She provided frequent updates and pictures. She a great choice for anyone looking for pet care!”
About: I worked at an animal hospital for 4 years as a vet assistant. I have my Bachelors and Masters in Animal Science from NC State. I love all animals! I have had many pets in my life including dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, etc. I am currently job searching as I just recently finished grad school, so my schedule is wide open for pet care at any time, any day of the week (including weekends)! I take care of other people’s pets as if they are my own. I know how important it is to have proper and trustworthy pet care as these animals are someone’s fur baby! I make sure that pets are comfortable and are as happy as can be!
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 from home so my schedule is flexible. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize comfort, safety, and happiness I work from home which allows me plenty of free time along with flexibility to be able to focus on your pets and meet their needs. 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.
“This was our first time using Rover, and it was a last minute request! Jiahui was quick to respond, immediately offered to come meet our cats prior to the time of care and provided them with the essentials for the couple day we were away. We’re very appreciative !”
About: I've been around pets for many years and I love being around them! I have also had a pet in my household and I have had many opportunities to watch pets of my neighbors and family friends. Animals are the very best thing to be around in my opinion! I currently work as an elementary school teacher so I have free time during the summer! Once the school year starts, I will have availability in the afternoon and on the weekends! I would care for the pets by showing them love, providing playtime and walks, and making sure they have plenty of food/water. It is also important that they feel comfortable whether that is in their own home or in my home. I would treat any animal as if it were my very own pet!
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: I’ve been caring for pets on and off since high school. In the summer of 2023, I helped my neighbor walk two dogs regularly—an older Golden Retriever and a young Pomeranian. I’ve also walked a large Standard Poodle and have experience with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Some friends have trusted me with pet-sitting at my home; the longest stay was nine days, caring for a medium-sized Poodle and a small mixed breed dog. I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a new environment. In the past, I also raised a rescued orange tabby cat from kittenhood. He was with us for many years and remains a very special part of my life. I currently work part-time on weekdays and have flexible availability after 5 PM. Right now, I offer dog walking or cat care—this includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m not offering boarding services at the moment, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic dog, I make sure they feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I’m also happy to hear about any special notes or things I should be aware of regarding your pet.
“Second time booking him for drop in visits to watch my cat. So glad he was available to come stop by so Kevin wouldn’t get lonely all by himself while I was in Florida. After the first visit I asked to add a few more days and he easily added them for me! Thanks again and I hope everyone leaves him great tips because he deserves it! :)”
“Xeque, was a fantastic sitter for my two outdoor cats. She communicated thoroughly and was flexible with last minute changes. Thank you so much for accommodating my kitties need!”
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: 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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
