About: Hello! I love all animals and will be willing to look after your dog and do the best I can to ensure they feel at their best! I graduated from NC State with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science in 2015. I received my Master's degree in nutrition in 2018. I have completed a few internships at vet clinics and shelters. I welcome all dogs as I am most experienced with horses -so big dogs are not a problem! Animals have always been a passion of mine and I know how to pay special attention to dogs and their needs. Generally I can spot common issues and know how to stay calm in an emergency. What the owner suggests, I will keep in mind at all times. There will be no worries about your fur babies under my care! I do work during the day M-F, and do not work from home. So if this isn’t a problem, I will give your fur baby the upmost care and attention when I return from work during their stay! I am home all day during weekends and most holidays! I work full time M-F. However, despite this, I am so attentive to my fur babies. I have an indoor camera where they can be watched while I am gone. If my work schedule is not a problem, I promise your fur baby will have a blast with me! I take it very serious for fur babies to be tended to and watched. I am very cautious and think of their safety, always. I am very communicative and will notify owners of anything that is an emergency! I ask many questions to make sure your fur baby feels safe and as happy as they can be in my or their home.
About: I’m an active working veterinary assistant with 15 years of experience. I’m looking to pet sit in my home small dogs up to 20-25 lbs. I do have kids, cats, and my personal dogs- everyone gets along 😊 my personal dogs are all crate trained and can be kept separate from your baby if needed. The kids loovve helping take care of any furry creature and are well behaved with them. I am able to bring your dog with me where I work should it be needed. I am home all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday but would willing to look after your furbaby during the week as well. I will only be taking one dog at a time (they will be throughly spoiled while here) I can administer any medications needed and can provide bathing services. I hope to meet you soon! I work full time in a veterinary hospital Tuesday-Friday. I am home all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I care for animals all day, everyday I do have a fenced in yard and my pets are all up to date on vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventions. I can provide specialized care for senior pets or those with medical needs
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different temperaments, and committed to providing reliable care and attention. I have a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online, which allows me to be available for reliable drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m committed to being punctual, attentive, and making sure pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while their owners are away. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine during each visit. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, fresh water, meals, exercise, and care while their owners are away.
“Terry made me feel very comfortable leaving my pets for a few days. She was very responsive, and shared photos every day. Even my "scaredy cat" came out for her. Thank you Terry!”
“I always have anxiety when going out of town because of my pets and their care. I didn't have that this trip because Kelly made sure to take care of everything! My 3 spoiled chunky babies were truly in great hands. She went above and beyond basic care and was worth every penny. I will only be using Kelly any time we travel out of town! The Rover cards we received really kept my heart and mind at ease (plus I think one cat fell in love with her) all around great first experience using Rover! I will be recommending this service and Kelly to anyone local who needs a loving,caring, watchful eye for their pets.”
About: I have at least 10 years experience caring for my own family's dogs growing up. I pay special attention to every client's pet's potential medical conditions as well and will take great care to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as can be. I will also send frequent videos and photos of your pets while you are away, so you will always have the convenience of seeing and knowing that your pets are happy and safe. IMPORTANT: I am open every day of the week from 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. so feel free to reach out to me, even with a 0 day notice. :) I will always ask about the special needs for your pet(s) and spend lots of quality time with them. I always make sure if certain pets need to be separated during meals or treats or toys to prevent possible aggression while you are gone (I do this due to previous experience handling dog fights).
About: I grew up with dogs big and small! I’ve handled elderly dogs that needed diapers and help walking, given medication to dogs who dont want them, and taught boundaries and basic commands to a dog who was untrained. Whatever your furry friend needs, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently free almost every single day! Im a home body who was laid off recently so this is my current job! I do not have any other permanent plans during the week and can be free when needed! I prefer to work in the client’s home as that is the pet’s safe space. I can adapt to any life style a pet requires of me. Some prefer 2-3 walks a day. Some cannot walk a lot and need to be helped. I understand every pet is different and with that comes different types of care for the pet.
“Michael did an amazing job with pet sitting our small kitten & guinea pigs. I was nervous for the first time leaving the kitten, & his photos reassured me. He is a great photographer! He seems to really be an animal lover. Most importantly he was reliable & communicated well - very much appreciated during a busy vacation. Very happy we found him.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a pre-med student at NC State that is looking to continue caring for animals and enjoy doing it! I am home for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which helps me stay consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time. I ensure they are always fed, hydrated, cared for, and active throughout the experience to ensure the pets remain happy and healthy. I will play with the pet and take them for lots of walks. I will also clean up any and all messes to maintain a clean environment.
About: I’ve had dogs in my house my entire life. I absolutely love taking care of them! I’ve also always helped my friends taking care of their dogs and have dog sit many different breeds. I personally have owned beagles, Labradors, and golden retrievers. With my last two dogs I’ve personally been the one taking care of them mostly all the way from 8 weeks old. I absolutely love taking care of dogs and would love taking care of any breeds! I’m currently a student at University of North Carolina Wilmington. I would be available Tuesdays 12-5, Wednesdays 2-5, Thursdays 12-7, Fridays 1-7, and anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I currently cannot take care of any dogs in my home. I am living in an on campus apartment and we are not allowed to have pets.

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 Gold Hill 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.

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.
