“We LOVE having Kacie watch our cat Roo. She is so patient and genuinely loves our cat. It makes going away such so easy knowing than someone truly cares about your animal. 100% recommend having Kacie watch your pet!”
“Kim was so great! Our cat can be very stealth and elusive with her hiding and Kim went way beyond expectations to try and find her each day. I highly recommend Kim as she is responsive, timely, and kind.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Isabella provided for our dog Sugar during her drop-in visits! She went above and beyond to ensure Sugar was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She was incredibly reliable, always punctual, and kept us updated with detailed notes and adorable photos from each visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Isabella is the perfect choice. We highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her back again! Thank you, Isabella, for your kindness and outstanding care!”
“Keely was great! She came by to meet the boys prior to our vacation and checked in regularly letting us know how they were doing. She was kind and attentive and took all our notes in stride. We would definitely recommend!”
“Met with us prior to meet the pups and go over instructions. Arrived on time agreed. Went above and beyond. Stayed and played with the pups the entire time. Communicated well. We felt comfortable with Ly-Linh right away and would not hesitate to recommend.”
“I would highly recommend Laura to look after your pet! She was quick to respond to messages and happy to arrange a meet and greet ahead of taking care of my cat. He was well-cared for while I was away and I received such great photos from Laura during her check-in!”
About: Hi, I’m Steve — a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. When I was younger, I volunteered at Roaring Brook Nature Center, where I helped care for everything from snakes and lizards to owls, possums, ferrets, and chinchillas. As I got older, my passion for animals took me even farther — all the way to a wildlife preserve in South Africa, where I spent time helping with game drives, tracking wildlife, and learning just how important compassionate, attentive care is for every living creature. Recently, I was laid off after dealing with a back injury, and I decided it was finally time to return to what brings me happiness: being around animals and helping people feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, gentle, reliable, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, attention, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company, I’m here to help and to make sure they feel secure and happy. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family member. I was recently laid off due to ongoing spine problems. My doctor said that keeping mobile is the best thing for me right now, so I figured that spending my time around animals and walking outdoors is a great option for me to continue healing and to have a source of income. I will focus nearly all of my time towards this work as I am unemployed at the moment. I am a big believer in gaining the trust of your pet first. So a slow approach and getting down on their level to allow them to smell and gain trust is important to me. I also love to communicate with animals in a high pitch baby voice as to not be intimidating. I am quite a large man so I feel the baby voice helps with the more skiddish of animals. Sometimes a stern voice may be needed needed given the situation, but almost never used. Your pets will get the exact same love and affection that my pets get every day because they deserve nothing but love.
“Alex is great! She was very responsive and happy to accommodate my changing schedule and my feisty little puppy! Would highly recommend her for anyone needing care for their fur babies!”
“This was our first time with Jen and it definitely wont be our last. She was thorough and wonderful with our two cats while we were gone for several days.”
About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and as an adult have owned a Black Lab, King Charles Cavalier, and now have a Jack Russel mix! I'm very active and like taking dogs on long walks! I work from home and am very active. I walk my dog to the beach or harbor every day, into town, and for hikes on nearby trails. I'm a very caring and responsible dog owner.. I have a safe home and would be happy to keep your dog with me or pet sit at your house and take him or her on several walks!
“Melissa was amazing! I can tell that she is an animal person and immediately my cat was comfortable with her. I hate leaving my kitty so it gave me such peace of mind to know she was taking care of him. Melissa also provided great update photos! I would definitely recommend Melissa if you need a caretaker for your pet :)”
About: My services are pet centered. I look forward to creating a care plan that best suits the needs of your loved one. My experience and passion for all walks of life is vast and reins back to childhood. You can expect great communication and loving care! My availability is based off the needs of your loved one. I am available with open arms to welcome your pet any day or time. I truly believe that each living being deserves love and respect. We are all blessed with a personality and it’s the care takers job to support each pet based off their individualized needs.
“Vinny looked after Walter for six weeks and went above and beyond in looking after him. He has looked after him several times now and I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a sitter.”
“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!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have loved every minute of their companionship. When I went to college I adopted two kittens and since then have gotten a third. I have dog sat for a week at a time; providing detailed care and a friendly demeanor that leaves pets feeling at ease. I am experienced with cats and dogs of all ages. I own 3 cats ranging in age from 1 to 14. I am familiar with litter box training as well as medication administration within food. I am a passionate pet caregiver and have a huge heart that welcomes pets of all kinds. I work in the school systems therefore I am off for the summer! Starting July 27th I am available full time! I am only away August 6-9. I treat all pets with kindness, respect and patience. Animals are my true joy in life and I absolutely love spending time with them. I pledge to treat your pets with the same love I show my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Guilford on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,797 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Guilford. 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 Guilford 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
