“Kacie was so good with our dog, George who has quite a bit of anxiety. She was calm and patient with him and very attentive to his needs. She went above and beyond and was extremely communicative, timely and thorough!”
About: PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE BEFORE YOU BOOK AND CHECK THE CALENDAR AND SEE IF I AM AVAILABLE. THANK YOU! Hello! Thank you for your interest. I am located in beautiful Guilford on RT. 77. Very easy access from 95. Your dog MUST be house trained, vaccinated, and on flea/tick prevention. It is a quiet and small household and medium to low energy dogs do best here. We play fetch a lot and lots of walks in our big yard. I also walk a few miles a day and love the company! We also have a dog run. I take one dog at a time, so they get our total attention. We do not have any pets. PLEASE check my calendar for availability first. I do request a meet and greet, if you are a new client to make sure it is a good fit for us all. I do work Tue-Fri, so they MUST be ok home alone. Please make sure your dog's information is filled out prior to booking. We hope to hear from you soon! Thank you! I am a teacher. So I follow the teacher schedule (hrs, off time). The dog must be able to be left alone during the typical school hours. Pets are inside with me. When I go out I like to take the dog with me-car rides, walks, baseball games etc. If its too hot I do have central air.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have two adult dogs now with my wife that I have raised since they were puppies. I have experience with rescue dogs also. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have a full day available to help with all of your pet’s needs. I am available during the week and weekend. I can take them for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I am great at staying on an animal’s schedule and can be available to help at any time! I take your pet’s needs and happiness seriously.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years. I grew up with a wheaten terrier who I loved for 14 years, and since then I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Whether your pup is playful, sensitive, or needs a calm, steady presence, I’m very comfortable adapting to what they need. Most clients book me for in-home dog care, as it allows dogs to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their routine. I offer structure, gentle companionship, and clear communication every step of the way so you can travel or work confidently, knowing your dog is happy and supported. I also work as a realtor, which means I’m extremely respectful in people’s homes and very used to handling keys, security systems, and property access professionally and discreetly. Pets warm to me quickly, and owners tell me they appreciate the calm confidence I bring to their home. Although I do offer boarding on occasion, my space is best suited for dogs that aren’t excessively vocal, as I live in a condo. All normal barking is perfectly fine — I just may not be the best match for dogs that howl or bark nonstop. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to add to my day with some exercise and fun with your dog(s)! I particularly make sure I am available at regular meal times for pets. I can provide companionship, exercise and care for your pet at your home or at my home. While I am out of the house for about 3-4 hours some days, I work from home a lot.
About: I have always been an animal lover and my family and friends go to pet care person. I want to extend my time, knowledge and love for animals to the community and your adorable fur babies :) I do work full time with 10 hours shifts. I am available most weekends and Mondays! I can easily provide morning and evening weekday pet care. Working at an animal hospital has taught me a lot about pet behavior. I will follow your needs and your pets needs to ensure they feel safe and cared for in the comfort of their own home and in my presence.
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life, and wanted to be a Veterinarian since I was little. I have worked at multiple humane societies caring for the dogs, and have an array of experience through schooling, and an externship at a Pet Clinic. I care deeply for animals of all types, and I would like to spend the rest of my life ensuring their wellbeing, and protection. I am confident that I can provide quality care for your furry babies, and make sure they are comfortable and happy! I have a keen eye for observing their behaviors/tendencies, so this will be important if they seem to be in pain or discomfort. I only want the best for your pet since I understand the importance of their companionship. I am currently traveling, so looking for some gig work while I’m on the East Coast, but usually I’m living in Hawaii and am self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I make sure to be patient with each animal and let them come to me. I won’t force them to be social, and will be aware of their behaviors to ensure safety and trust is built between us. Also being mindful of their interactions with other dogs or humans if they have any issues with them.
“Second time working with Alex. She took great care of our four cats and was accommodating to our last minute request. Our cats were healthy and calm when we got home. Thanks, Alex!”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing!!!! She was attentive to detail, reliable, kind & professional! She truly went above and beyond! Plus her photos and updates were top tier! Lol I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting/dog walking needs!”
“Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.”
About: My love affair with animals started at 8 years old. Fast forward many years later and my passion for animals has only grown. I have 3 fur babies of my own and plan on adding more someday! I am available on weekends but also willing to make arrangements if needed for longer periods. Simply reach out and advise me of your needs. I will try my best to accommodate. Pups are a part of our family so their happiness and safety are mist important to me. Finding the best and safest way to accommodate our fur babies is paramount and varies from owner to owner.
“Emma was so lovely to work with! She came and met the dogs ahead of time, which was great. She kept me up-to-date with her drop in visits, including pictures! The dogs really liked her & I will definitely use her again!”
About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.
“Simply the best! Our 4 month old puppy has been happy and tired since Kaleem has been doing drop in visits with her. We will definitely continue to use him. He is very knowledgeable and I feel safe knowing our puppy is on his care! Highly recommend”
“Roger is a fantastic cat sitter. He is super reliable, communicative, flexible and great with felines. He took really good care of my cranky and cantankerous (and sweet) 15 yr old kitty. Roger went above and beyond to accommodate her while we were away for a week. He also knows kitty CPR which made me feel extra secure! I recommend him highly!”
“Kejda was great and so good with our puppy! I felt comfortable and trusted her with her and Roxie had a great time. 10/10 would recommend & have her watch our animals again!”
About: Hello! My name is Brittney and I have been caring for dogs and many other animals since I was a young kid. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for family friends and neighbors and now with this app I am able to continue to do so. I currently have one dog, Macie who is wonderful and loves to play or lounge, really whatever I am doing she is right there with me. I love all dogs age and size don’t matter to me! I love to walk dogs and am just looking to exercise and care for other pets in the area in my free time! Hope I can meet your dog or other pets soon! I work in the school system so I have summers off and a very flexible schedule. I am primarily home during the summer months and my boyfriend also lives and works from home so we are regularly around most of the day! All needs of the pet depend on each one. I am adaptable and eager to work with what your specific pet needs. I am happy to exercise, play, administer meds, etc.

Rachel is amazing! She took great care of my dog Cinnamon. She also made me feel comfortable that Cinnamon was in great hands. My dog is timid and she immediately made her feel comfortable. I came home to a very happy dog and was able to be away worry free. We hope to see Rachel again soon. Thank you Rachel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Guilford is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $41 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 October 2026, there are 2,743 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Guilford. 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.
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 .
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 , 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
