“Steph has outdone herself yet again. My dogs just love her and she sends just the sweetest pics! My dogs love getting spoiled and I love not having to worry about them. Made our time away from home that much more special. Thanks again!”
“Jill was amazing. Her communication prior to and during her visits were great. She flawlessly dealt with some unexpected issues with our puppy (an accident and several escapes from the pen😂) and even helped out with our cat who was supposed to be taken care of by a neighbor. Highly recommend her.”
“We had a meet and greet with Lindsay the day before she took care of Zeus. We were very comfortable with her after meeting her. We were away for the day, and she stopped in to visit Zeus twice. She was great with Zeus. We hope to become friends with her. We will definitely be using her in the very near future.”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
About: I have had dogs, puppies, and cats all my life. I understand the importance of keeping pets active, well loved, and well taken care of! I work at night, usually from about 3-9pm. Sometimes I work midday, but it’s never more than 5 hours. My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can usually move things around to provide the best care for your pup! I can provide lots of walks, feed them on time, play dates, snuggles, and overall spending time with your fur baby to make them feel comfortable and loved!
About: I've pet-sat for family/friends and neighbors alike since my early teenage years, ranging from simply letting a dog out to pet-sitting indoor & stray cats, as well as having two pets of my own (a dog & a cat). I currently hold a part time job, making me widely available to care for your beloved companions! My schedule consists of 4 days a week on alternating weeks; Mondays 7am-10pm, Thursdays from 7am-10pm, Fridays from 7am-10pm and Sundays from 7am-10pm. Every other week I have every day 7am-10pm! Overnights as requested based on availability. I can assure you that, in your home, I will ensure that your pets remain fed, engaged, and properly attended to otherwise to keep them happy, safe, and excellently taken care of!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets and small rodents I work from home so your animal will always come first for playtime, walks and feeding time. They will receive all the love I have to offer to them. I have a large backyard so there's enough room for playtime. I have 2 friendly cats who love to play. They love dogs. In my neighborhood there are sidewalks for walks.
About: I'm a dedicated and passionate Certified Veterinary Technician, who received her license in 2023. I have background in both general practice and emergency medicine. Currently exploring a new change of pace out of the clinic - recently accepted a new job offer - please check my availability! I've had many pets over the years, all whom I have loved dearly. However, my love for animals all started when I was just a little kid, when my parents adopted my 4-legged, golden retriever best friend. She changed my life forever. From then on, I wanted to help change others' lives and their pets' lives for the better. My compassion for animals has only blossomed since. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science from an AVMA accredited college - Wilson College. There, I majored in Veterinary Medical Technology and double minored in Animal Studies and Biology. I also worked in our on-campus kennels, providing exceptional care for dogs, cats, birds, and laboratory animals during my Junior and Senior years. I am so excited and prepared to care diligently for you fur babies! I recently accepted a new job position, so I will have limited availability. My schedule is open for drop-in’s and dog walking on Saturdays and Sundays only, with overnight stays and sitting from Friday evenings (after 5pm) through Sunday evenings (until 7pm). Sorry, I can’t provide services during week days! I will only be offering pet sitting at your home, where I will keep a watchful eye on your pooch/kitty throughout my stay, providing a trustful companion for them while you're away. I can easily crate any dog/cat if necessary. I will ensure that the environment is kept clean and organized for your return. If any pet needs medication administered, it will be done with a fear-free approach and complete accuracy.
About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
About: I have always had a connection with animals. I wasn't able to get my first pet until I was 10 and it was a guinea pig...fast forward 22 years and that connection and passion for animals has not changed. I worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years including school, most of which was in Maine. I no longer work as a technician but still love to fill my time with taking care of people's pets. I currently have a pretty open schedule. The only reason I would not be able to do certain days would be due to medical appointments or family obligations. When I care for your pet I will be able to spend as much time playing, walking, relaxing. Whatever you and they may want or need. I am able to give medication including insulin and fluids.
About: Hi! I have 5 dogs and 4 parakeets myself, I love to craft or just binge watch movies. I’m currently in college, I’ve always loved animals and I lost my job in March, I’m just trying to find better things for myself. Reach out anytime ☺️ I have open availability so pretty much let me know what you’re looking for, if you want me to just stay at yours or even if you just want me to pop in and out from time to time! I have a fenced yard so I’m always watching my dogs, I sit outside with them and just watch them play. I also take them on walks when my parents are able to help since we have alot
About: I graduated with my associate in Veterinary technology in 2022. I have taken care of and worked with all breeds of dogs and cats. I’ll give all of them the same love as I give my own. I am currently working full time at FedEx. Depending on your animals schedules and your requirements I will feed them and walk them bright and early make sure they got all the early morning energy out before I’d need to head out to work. Will clean up any mess if any was made in the process. After work I will go straight to check on the animal and do the same as in the morning feed, walk and play. If your pet is taking medication I will make sure to give it the right amount and at the right time. If you don’t have a fenced in yard I will also make sure I leash them can never be too safe.
About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!
About: I’ve been around animals ever since I could walk, I’ve always had a love for them. I started pet sitting family members animals ever since the age of 12. I also have prior experience working in a doggy daycare so I have some professional experience caring for animals as well. I currently work full-time, I have funky hours so I have a lot of time free as well. I’m more so looking to pet sit at your home over boarding due to the family I reside with being allergic to dogs. Every animal is different because some have restrictions or specify routines. Therefore I would really just listen to what the animal parents schedules are with their animals and follow that.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. From untrained and accident prone puppies to mature Great Danes, I’ve walked, watched, visited, and stayed with them all! I currently walk and sit dogs/cats for a lil side hustle. Once Summer starts, I hope to keep hanging out with pets to make some extra money! I’m a very flexible person. If your dog needs to be hand fed or sleep in my bed, I have no problems! I’ll do mostly anything to make sure your dog is comfortable while you’re away!

So grateful I was able to book Beth when last minute travel plans popped up. She was wonderful coming to do drop in visits for my kitties over a very hot and holiday weekend. It really eased my anxiety of being away from them knowing that Beth was checking in on them and giving them some attention! She sent great updates, made sure they had food fresh water and clean boxes and spent time playing with them sending pictures that really made my day! My cats must have loved her as all 3 came out to see her each visit and two of them can be shy - but not this time! Thank you Beth! Will book again (hopefully more in advance) when I am next away:)
Lauren has cared for my furry friends multiple times, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is always respectful of our home and incredibly compassionate with our cats. Her communication is excellent both before and during each visit, and I truly appreciate the thoughtful notes and adorable pictures she sends. They provide peace of mind while we’re away. I always feel confident that my babies are safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care in her hands.
Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of my older cat while I was on a trip for a few days. It was an absolutely perfect experience and she sent very detailed updates and magazine-quality photos. When I arrived home and opened the door, I almost felt that my cat was maybe a little disappointed I wasn't Stephanie coming to play. I definitely recommend her without any reservation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 919 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Goldsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
