“Megan is so great with our two Great Danes. She always makes sure to update us with pictures and what the dogs get up to. She has really helped us out and is so flexible with scheduling which I sincerely appreciate. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Naomi was very responsive and a total lifesaver considering the last minute nature of my request. I got a thorough report card and a cute photo of my pup. Will use her again if I find myself in a pinch.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself). With the knowledge I have gathered from both working in office, having pets, sitting family pets, and my many years of pet grooming I hope to make my home a safe haven for your pet. We can also discuss natural treatments for pets which I've studied for a while now when it comes to specific breeds, mixed breeds, and their genetic ailments. I will soon be making all natural dog & cat treats for pets. I can also train pets through the treat/clicker system which has worked well for all of my pets and a plenty of others. If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.
“Erica was wonderful! Keep me updated about my sweet babies everday, which included pictures! She also was so sweet and swept and took out the trash before we got home. My boys are happy and so am I! We will definitely book Erica again for any future needs.”
“Anna was so great with my fur babies while we were away. They were so excited each time she visited. She was very attentive to their needs and made sure they each got loved on like they wanted. Luna and Leo loved Anna.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have loved every single one we've had. I dog sit my sisters dogs every time they go out of town, and treat them with all the walks, pup cups, and fetch they want. I'm so excited to get to provide undecided attention for your fur baby, trust me I know how important they are to you and they're just as important to me! I am in college still so my schedule is very flexible as I only have 1-2 classes a day and then I am home mostly the rest of the day. I have a good sized fence in yard, but if you prefer they be crated when I leave, or roaming my house any option is fine!

“This is the second time we’ve used Morgan, and Rover in general. Both times she was punctual, trustworthy, reliable, quick to communicate with, and we felt that our pets were in great care. We will absolutely continue to use her in the future if we need a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and my partner and I, as well as our daughter, love dogs and always have. We’ve got room under our roof for yours too and we’ll love them just the same. I’m a local business owner so I make my schedule. So quite flexible as far as that goes, if I can’t make it work I’ll let you know, of course. I’ve got a fenced in yard at my home and a dog named Shake who loves other dogs. Our home is on a low traffic street. My partner and I, and our daughter, will love on your dog just like we do with ours.
“Sara was wonderful at communication, respecting the house rules and accountability. She got the initial drop in visit start time wrong, but she took accountability and fixed it right away. It's totally fine that mistakes happen, and Sara handled it very professionally. She also posted updates per drop-in with photos, and did call us when health concerns arise like we requested. I would highly recommend her service to others as a very trustworthy sitter. I would 100% book with her again!”
“We’re so glad we found Elizabeth to look after our two cats! She was awesome!!! She sent us daily updates with cute pictures, and it was clear our cats were in great hands. Super easy to communicate with, and when we got home, the house was swept, the litter boxes were clean, and our kitties were happy. We’ll definitely be booking her again next time we’re away. Highly highly recommend!”

I’m willing to answer any questions and concerns you might have and provide you with updates every few hours while your fur babies are in my care.

I tend to keep the house clean and organized so my own pet and others have a safe environment. Your dog will be fully integrated with me and my husband.
“Kristina was amazing with my babies and it made me much more comfortable leaving for my trip knowing that they were in good hands. It’s important to me to find a sitter that loves my dogs as much as I do and I’m so glad we found Kristina and Justin. Thank you so much for everything, I will definitely be rebooking whenever I need/can!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. From large breeds like husky to small dogs like Pekingese, each one has been a part of the family. I love spending time with my own dogs (2 female pits) and love making new friends. I do have a full time job but I’m also available to provide care for your pet during the week, at nights, and on the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and both of my pets are dog friendly. I also have a crate for puppies in potty training. My dogs are walked daily and bathed often.

Nate is the best! He sends daily pictures and updates on how my cats are doing and how his drop in went with them. I highly recommend him and will definitely ask him to take care of my cats again when the time comes. We always return to happy healthy cats. Thank you Nate!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Goldsboro on Rover is $22.2 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 350 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Goldsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Goldsboro 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Goldsboro. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
