“Thank you so much for your wonderful care! Thank you for helping us as long as you did! I always knew Rubi was in save hands with you! I am forever thankful for everything you’ve done. Thank you for being so incredible with her ❤️❤️❤️”
“Danny did a great job checking on calamity and mikey. Even though they hid when he came, as I knew they would, I could tell they were well taken care of while I was gone. I will use him in the future when I need to go away.”
“For the first time in 5 years since having our dog, we both had to be away for 5 days. Crux was a rescue dog with severe abuse issues whom we adopted from a rescue shelter. We booked with Alexandria. She was fantastic!! She cared for him with physical needs like food and water. She played with him and took him on long walks on our mountain property. She spent time with him out on the patio. She met his emotional issues. Due to his huge shedding issues, she dry mopped our floors. More so she instilled trust with a dog who had huge issues. There is no one better to trust care for your pet.”
“First time using Rover. Extremely pleased and fortunate to have Lorie care for our 2 dogs and 3 cats! We don’t go away often but Lorie cared for them like they were her own 🥰! She spent quality play time with them , sent many videos & pictures and took them on walks. She kept me informed of a couple minor unexpected issues with my dogs and handled it like a breeze! I hope to have Lorie care for our pets again! Thank you , Lorie!!!”
About: My family has always had pets. I’ve grown up with birds, rabbits, hamsters, cats, dogs, and tons of other crazy pets. In the last few years, my family has started a dog rescue from out of their home. I also work in and out of peoples homes for my job as a private house cleaner, where I come in contact with many pets everyday. I also have five pets of my own currently. I am currently working a part-time housecleaning job where I am working afternoons Tuesday & Thursday, and a part-time serving job Saturday through Wednesday mornings. I do also have an evening position a few nights a week. However, Im very passionate about animals & i’m more than happy to help whenever I can do so :) I do however think I would be best fit to pets that are used to a full-time work schedule, as there are times I will have to be away for 6-8 hours. I have lots of experience letting dogs out, keeping dogs on leashes, walking dogs, feeding dogs, and more. We have a strict routine at the rescue since we have brought many new dogs in. I also have experience with cats, as I have two of my own, rabbits: as i have two of my own, as well as spiders, reptiles, and more.
About: I currently have 2 dogs. They are 11 and 12! I also have 3 cats ages 1-3! I’m a former employee from Golden Wood boarding where I worked as a kennel tech for almost 2 years. I am very comfortable with all types of animals! I can do walking, playtimes, and administer meds! I’ve also dog sat and been relied on for my neighbors many times! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and spend time with your pet! My schedule is very flexible to make sure your pet gets the quality time they deserve! I care for pets by making sure they have fresh water, are fed on their regular schedule, get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks, and receive lots of attention and affection. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, training routines, and special dietary needs. In a client’s home, I want to keep pets comfortable and on their daily routine!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was around 12 years old. Working in a school setting has also strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to handle different personalities, skills I bring into caring for every pet. I work for CASD, so my schedule is very consistent during the school year, with availability after 3:45 PM on weekdays and open weekends. During the summer, I have full availability, which means I can provide more flexible scheduling, extended stays, and extra attention for your pets throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always supervise interactions and can separate pets if needed. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your pet’s routine, and I’ll follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress-free.
“Mary was wonderful! She perfectly spaced out the drop in visits and made sure my dogs needs were met, even with it being over a holiday! Will definitely book her again when I need someone to care for my dog.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since childhood. I can't imagine life without them. As my senior dog ages, I see myself caring for others pets. I work part time when it fits my schedule. I am pursuing petsitting, especially dog walking, to up my daily excercise and meet new dogs. I have a senior hound mix who I have had for 7 years. We take a long walk twice a day. She receives her medication during feeding.
“Danielle took excellent care of our little kitten Penny. We were nervous about leaving her alone, but Danielle eased our fears with constant communication, lots of photos, and flexibility. Penny was a little sick the day we left, so we were hoping to add another drop in visit and Danielle worked overtime to accommodate and make sure Penny was OK. Also, Penny can be a little skittish, but was so friendly and warmed up to Danielle instantly, she must be a good just of character! You’ll have to plan your vacations around mine, because we will definitely be using Danielle again.”
About: Very laid back and loving environment. I look over my mothers 3 golden doodles and 2 Yorkies often. Grew up taking care of animals.

I am here to help any way I can so please let me know how I can help you and your furbaby feel comfortable when you’re apart! :) I currently work from home Mon-Friday. I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I am available for AM, mid-day, Evening walks and drop ins as well. I have a fenced yard at my home. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to give pets and potty breaks throughout the day. I have one dog that lives in the home who loves to play!
About: I grew up on a farm with horses, dogs, cats and had a best friend with pet snakes! I have a deep love and reverence for all creatures!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Guilford on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 712 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Guilford. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
