About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, whether it was neighbors or family, I always put forth the effort to make your pets feel loved and supported! I’m currently a student so I’ll have plenty of time to drop by and play with your pets, feed them, and walk them, if desired. I have two dogs myself, one thing I love to do is curl up on the couch with a good book with my pups! (I think they just like to lay on my legs.)
About: I have always been around animals since I was young . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal.

About: Hey there, my name is Christina! I am a long time pet owner, and I have volunteered through Tri-County Animal Rescue for over four years. Through this experience I have worked with various breeds as well as pets with different temperaments. I am very comfortable with any breed, big or small. I am also very comfortable taking care of cats, or any other species of pet. I am very active and typically hike, run, or bike daily, and I am more than happy to bring your dog along with me! Your beloved pet will get tons of excercise with me, which will decrease any anxiety levels, and tire them out for a good night’s sleep! They will also receive ample playtime, I have lots of room to run around in my large secure fenced in backyard. Your pet will be well taken care of, doted on, & excercised to their heart’s content. I am home full time because I work from home, so your pet will never be put in their kennel or left for any amount of time. If you prefer your dog to sleep in a kennel at night, I will be more than happy to accommodate that, although they are more than welcome to sleep on my bed or with my dogs. I have two dogs, one is a 6 year old large gentle giant who is very calm, named Sasha. She is a small Great Pyrenees, and is very friendly and good at making new doggy guests feel at home! I have a small chihuahua who is equally as friendly, and both of them do very well with other dogs as well as cats, with no aggressive tendencies whatsoever. I also have a small, friendly indoor cat - so any pet that will stay with us needs to be cat friendly, or atleast non-aggressive towards cats. Training method such as crate training and any other forms of obedience training can be continued during their stay with me, as well as medication administration. As an experienced pet owner, I understand the worries that come with leaving your loved one with someone else. You can rest assured they are in good hands with me. I offer meet and greets before you schedule your booking so that you can meet me and verify if you feel comfortable, and I am always available via message to answer any questions. I send daily pictures and updates multiple times a day during the duration of your pet’s stay with me, and keep you up to date on all the fun your dog is having! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to accommodate any needs including medication administration. I am also available for home visits. I have a fenced in yard and I can walk your pup multiple times a day - as well as providing playtime! Cats or other species are also welcome.
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep love and understanding of our four-legged companions. As a devoted dog mom to my two golden retrievers, Sophie (11) and Gus (2 years), I’ve raised and trained three puppies, ensuring they are well-socialized, happy, and healthy. I believe in introducing dogs to new experiences, helping them feel comfortable around other pets and people. Dependable, responsible, and attentive, I treat every dog as if they were my own—providing loving care, plenty of exercise, and lots of belly rubs! I have a structured yet flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care for your pup! I work part-time at a day spa just 20 minutes from home, with hours from 10 AM - 6 PM Wednesday-Thursday, and 10 AM - 5 PM on Fridays. Saturday-Tuesday I have a lot of flexibility, giving me extra time for pet care. I’m available for boarding both on weekdays and weekends, and since I get a 1-hour lunch break, I can come home for a quick potty break if needed. For dog walking and pet visits, I’m available before and/or after work on weekdays, as well as on weekends. At home, my two golden retrievers, Sophie and Gus, are part of my daily routine—they get plenty of love, exercise, and socialization, and any pup in my care will be treated just the same! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours. I live on 2 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run, play fetch, and explore. While my backyard is unfenced, it is very safe and not near the main road. I always supervise the dogs when they are outside to ensure their safety and enjoyment. In my home, pups enjoy a loving, structured environment alongside my two friendly golden retrievers, Sophie and Gus. I provide a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. For walks and pet visits, I follow your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I respect your home as if it were my own, creating a stress-free and positive experience for your furry friend. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, I treat every pet like family!

About: Iv rescued and rehomed 15 kittens and 5 pups. Growing up with a love for animals made it easy to prioritize their health and wellbeing. Iv learned over the years how take proper care of pets and to help guide them in their journey. Though I dont do much rescuing anymore, I still have a passion taking care of pets Currently working part time so I can prioritize days with pups. I am very flexible with my time however, days may adjust based on availability. I have an Assuie so everyday is petcare day! I have up to 2 dogs, fenced in yard with plenty of space to help exercise, and run freely. The free space and outdoor range environment helps
About: I have 4 pets of my own currently, that are very spoiled babies. I have also done pet sitting for neighbors since I was about 13! I’m new to the area, and have not yet found a day job so my schedule is very open! I am available any weekday and weekends. I have a fenced in yard I can have other dogs around my two dogs or separated if need be. I can work with whatever the pet owner would like me to do for their pets.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets, providing personalized care based on each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering basic medications, daily walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply offering companionship and plenty of cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important consistency is, so I strive to maintain your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is simple: to give your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience while giving you confidence that they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long hours. Because I manage my own schedule, I can easily accommodate a pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys active play, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and attention, I’m able to give them consistent care and supervision throughout the day. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away—just like they’re part of the family. I care for every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I work from home, so I’m able to provide frequent supervision and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines while also keeping your home clean and respected. I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, safe, and stress-free until you’re back home.
About: My daughter and I have been caring for pets since she was 6 years old. She is now 19 and we have one adorable fur baby, Gumbeaux Roux. We’ve had Guinea pigs, fish, a bird and we are now on our 2nd dog. We specialize in cuddles and belly rubs. My daughter is off to college now so Gumbeaux and I would love to get acquainted with your fur baby. We take turns caring for our precious baby. We have a routine that we adhere to strictly. We do walks before school/work, after school/work and before bed. On weekends, we keep the timing in order to remain consistent. Our home is definitely pet friendly. We only require crating when gone from the home for long periods of time, such as working hours. Outside of working hours, the baby is free to roam about the house. While my yard is not fenced in, I have a yard leash that can accommodate small dogs only.
About: What's up! I'm Nick, an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter. I have an 8 year old female Shepherd that loves to play! Shes very friendly and sweet but sometimes takes a few minutes to open up. I can set up a meet and greet so you can get to know me before making any decisions 👌😄 I run a small business from home cultivating gourmet mushrooms. It doesn't take all of my time, and I love dogs,so I do this as a side gig. I only watch 2 dogs at a time. That way, less risks are involved and I can give them proper care individually. I let them play outside and come inside as they please. I don't mind them being on the couch. I feed them twice daily, but it depends on the needs of the owner/dog.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I used to have a sweet girl named Susie who filled my heart with love and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and compassion. After she passed away three years ago, I’ve continued caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family whenever they go out of town. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I’m experienced in adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I do have a puppy named cocoa as of December 2025. She is the light of our lives!! We love her so much. I work from home three days a week and go into the office twice, so I have a very flexible schedule! On my work-from-home days, I’m available all day to give your pup plenty of love, walks, and attention. Even on my office days, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and overnight visits as needed. Your pet will always be in a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. I’m attentive, caring, and but most importantly will love your fur babies like they’re my own. I can also easily crate your dog if needed or follow any specific routines you prefer.
About: Hi! My name is Carina and Ive always been an animal lover. My friends and family call me Snow White because of it. If there is an animal around thats where you'll find me. I have experience with fostering bottle fed kittens, kittens and cats with medical needs, dog and cat ownership. I've also had experience caring for a dog with epilepsy and a dog with severe anxiety. I love all animals and tend to be the one that can get the less social ones to warm up to me. I would love to come meet your furry family and help keep them loved and cared for when needed. Animals provide us with such happiness and unconditional love. I believe we all have a duty to give back as much of that love as possible. They surely deserve it!

Since I have two cats of my own, care will be provided in your home. I believe caring for animals in an environment they are familiar with is essential to their safety and comfort. All care notes and preferences will be followed to a T and all animals will be treated with the upmost caution, safety and love.
“From the moment I met Hillary for the first meet and greet, you could tell she loves what she does and cares about the fur babies in her care. She took great care of my 6 yr old cat Misty while I was out if town by sending pictures, a short video of her playing , a report card that she ate, peed, pooped, etc. She kept excellent communication with me and asked questions to give the best care. I would highly recommend Hillary for anyone needing a pet sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gastonia
We are so happy that we found Natalia on Rover. I was starting a new job and my husband was scheduled to be out of town. We’re in a new community and didn’t know anyone to help out that could provide potty breaks for our two dogs while I was at work. Natalia did an excellent job. She was on time. The dogs were happy and well taken care of we cannot recommend her enough would give her 10 stars if we could.

Madison is a Godsend. Our senior dog had just lost his eyesight and we moved to NC. I was traveling a lot and we needed help. She has been wonderful with our dog and she is kind and caring and lets us know how he is doing. We couldn’t do it without her. And our furry boy loves her. She takes such good care of him and knows just what to do for him. Thank you, Madison! ❤️

Another booking with Hailey and another round of incredible care that was provided to my dogs! Hailey provides the absolute best care and has amazing communication skills! I will continue to book with Hailey and recommend her to anyone who is looking for pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gastonia is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,926 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gastonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gastonia 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
