“Nicole is awesome! She came to my house took my dogs out, made sure they had food and water, played with them a little and even brought them a toy! I will definitely rebook with her.”
“Tori went above and beyond in taking care of our kitties while we were away. When the power went out she noticed an issue with the auto feeder and let us know right away. The kitties looked happy and spoiled in the pictures she sent. We will definitely use her again”
“Hannah is simply the best. She's our go-to sitter every time we need to go away, and we wouldn't trust our cats with anyone else. She's reliable, caring, and genuinely treats them like her own. Most recently, she even made sure they were looked after when she wasn't feeling well — that kind of dedication says everything about the kind of person she is. We always leave knowing our babies are in good hands. If you're looking for someone you can truly count on, look no further.”
“Im usually wary of new people watching my zoo -but Sarah was great from first min I met her. She was interested and greeted my pups. She followed all my instructions, and I got an update immediately after she left. I felt very confident that she would take care of them and I was right. Everyone was happy and content when I arrived home. I would definitely ask Sarah to watch them again!”
“Emily is the best and most personable and dependable Rover you’re going to find. Took exceptionally great care of our 2 Big Boys, extremely punctual and attentive and communicative throughout the whole trip. You can leave knowing you have nothing to worry about as your home and fur babies are in the best of hands!!”
“Kira was absolutely fabulous with my 2 dogs! I’ve never left them at home before when I’m out of town, but Kira totally eased my mind with her frequent and thorough updates. I will definitely be hiring her again to watch my pups!”
“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.”
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!
“Moriah was wonderful with our 2 cats. In addition to taking great care of them, she brought in many packages and took our trash bin down and back. Sent very detailed updates and made going on vacation easy. Highly recommend.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garner
Erica was wonderful! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided throughout the stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of my babies while I was out of town! My cats are very shy, and Hannah made sure to find them in their hiding spots, check on them, and ensure they were safe and taken care of. She made my vacation much more relaxing, and I loved seeing the daily pics of my cuties! 💕
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Garner on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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.

- 90% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
