“My Rover experience was fantastic. Both my cat and dog were very well taken care of by Stephanie. I will definitely use her again. It’s nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about your pets.”
“Kelly shows up on time, obviously loves dogs and my dog loves her too. I appreciates the time & attention she gives, and the photos. I'll continue to book with her as much as I can.”
“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.”
“I keep Lauren on speed dial to be my pet sitter. Her compassion for my animals has been such a blessing. Communication is outstanding and brings peace to me knowing my little buddies are safe and cared for.”
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’m 19 and have experience with 3 of my dogs who are all very different! I’ve been a pet sitter and walked my neighbors dogs as well as volunteering at a shelter in the past. I’m currently a college student so only have a couple in person classes a day so I’m pretty flexible! I also have a part time job mostly at night but they are short shifts so I can work around that. I have worked with dogs at homes who have a fenced in yard as well as open yards. My house is also currently fenced in!
“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”
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: As a passionate dog owner of my Ellie. I’m fully committed to bringing personalized care, ensuring dogs feel safe and happy. Every dog deserves to feel 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.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goldsboro
Beth was wonderful! She came up to greet the pets before the stay since our female dog is very shy. Her reports each day were very thorough and she was attentive to each animals' needs. We had a hiccup with our intact female dog hitting heat right when we left but Beth handled it beautifully. All three animals looked great when we got back. We were so thankful she could take a last minute booking for a holiday weekend and was able to give our puppies timely potty breaks even with us living in a third floor apartment. We would definitely use her again.
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.

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.

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 .

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.
