“We’ve lived in several different states and have had a lot of pet sitters in our home. Skylar ranks at the top of that list. She was on time every day, sent updates and lots of pictures of our dog having the very best time, and is a genuinely kind person who loved our eccentric dog like her own. She gets extra praise for being one of the only people outside of our family who has been able to get our stubborn lab to wear her harness for walks and take her pills! We will definitely book Skylar again, I felt like our dog missed her when we came home!”
“Stephanie is an absolute gem and a total natural with dogs. From the moment she met Squishy, it was clear that she didn’t just see this as a job—she truly loves her with her whole heart. Beyond her obvious bond with animals, Stephanie is a pleasure to work with. She is: Kind and Considerate: She always maintains a warm, professional, and thoughtful demeanor. Incredibly Helpful: She frequently goes out of her way to assist with extra details or scheduling needs, making my life so much easier. Reliable: I never have to worry when Squishy is in her care. If you are looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and will treat your pet like a member of her own family, I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew. I grew up with dogs and now care for them through Rover because I genuinely miss having one around every day. I provide a safe, clean home with a fenced yard, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of updates while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Im currently working 3-11pm 5 days a week but I’m switching to mornings on 8/30/26 and those shifts will be 5am-1pm or 6am-2pm. Most of the time I’m off Sundays and Mondays but my schedule does occasionally change. I have a fenced yard, an upstairs and downstairs with a doggy gate leftover from our last dog, plenty of waste bags and dog leashes and some leftover toys. It is a very comfortable clean house.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats since fourth grade. I can handle energetic younger dogs as well as older dogs who may like things done a certain way. I have cared for my own dog as well as neighbors’ dogs. I am currently living at home and overall have a wide open schedule, leaving lots of time for dog walks and play-time with any pets. I will always do my best to follow any specific rules or guidelines that a client may have for their dog and be respectful of their home environment.
“Olivia was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She was very responsive and took lots of great photos of her and Leo playing together :) I will definitely rebook with Olivia in the future!”
“Natalie came by to check up on our 2 cats who are normally very shy, but they opened up to her immediately & was comfortable with her from the beginning of her first visit! I would recommend Natalie to anyone with fur babies, she’s the best!”
“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”
About: I've been a devoted pet mom my entire life, and animals have always been my family! I have cared for pet's through every stage of life, including a special-needs puppy who was deaf and had congenital health challenges, as well as pets through their senior years and young rambunctious pups! These experiences have taught me patience, compassion and how important it is to understand each pet's individual needs and personality. When your pet is in my care, I'll love and care for them as if they are one of my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my routine. I'm able to accommodate walks, feeding times, playtime, potty breaks and plenty of companionship. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my priority. I understand the trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care, and I will treat your pet as lovingly as my own. I'll follow your instructions and their normal routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and supervision. I'm patient and attentive to each pet's individual personality and needs.
About: I grew up in a household with a dog and have since lived with two other dogs including a senior golden retriever and currently a vizsla puppy! I have worked at a kennel for two years working in both boarding and daycare for dogs! Cats are not my area of expertise but I am willing to work with them!:) I just recently graduated from NC State and am figuring out what is next for me, so I am pretty flexible!! I do serve and attend church on Sunday mornings from 8:30-12 but around this times, I am mostly free! I also do photography but typically in 30 min to an hour long sessions and can easily work around those as well! I care for pets with love and gentleness! I love to play and/or snuggle so whatever they're up for, I'm ready for it! However I can best make them comfortable, I will accommodate in order to achieve!
About: I provide reliable drop-in visits and energy-burning dog walks for pet owners who want peace of mind while they're away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, fresh water, feeding, playtime, companionship, or a long walk to work off extra energy, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. I have personally owned and cared for dogs for more than 22 years and understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Through years of hands-on experience, I've learned how important consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions are to a dog's overall well-being. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet in my care with the same attention and affection I give my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet's specific routine and care instructions. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed and instructions are provided), and plenty of love and attention. For walks, I enjoy giving dogs the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay healthy and content. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide drop-in visits and walks during available hours. I believe pets deserve quality one-on-one attention, and I make every effort to ensure they receive the time, care, and exercise they need. My goal is to help you feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work from home so if your needs are during the week I can do 2 drop in’s or walk during the week. I can do anytime on the weekends. I currently have a dog that doesn’t always do well with other dogs. He has never bitten anyone but I’m not sure how he would react with another dog in the house.
About: I've taken care of dogs for the past 7 plus years. I have two dogs of my own and do have neighbors who have had pets. I have experience walking them, feeding them playing with them and keeping them safe. I take my time with dogs and understand if they are scared. I do have a rescue myself and I understand what it takes to gain their trust and train them. I'm currently a undergrad student at UNC Chapel Hill. I am currently looking to dog sit/walk dogs within the community to help pay off my college loans. I am in class until 8:50 am MoFri, 3pm Wed and 12pm TueThur. I have two cute dogs at home, Ginger and Teddy and I tend to them when at home. We have a fenced in yard and they enjoy their 2-3 walks a day. I typically feed my dogs twice a day, in the morning and then during dinner time, they graze throughout the day. I love spending quality time with them, especially playing with them! Both my dogs have gone through training so I completely understand the training process as well.
About: Animals have always been present in my life as I have always had dogs (and more!) in my home. I spent the last ten years managing a farm rescue site that allowed me to care for equine, goats, pigs, cats, ducks, chickens and more. The position allowed me to learn quite a bit about caring for the animals welfare, as well as learning about the various animal behaviors and their unique ways they communicate and live together as one big farm family. With 15+ years of animal care of all sizes, including small caged pets, I am comfortable and experienced with special needs, medication dispensing, as well as senior care. Pet care has always been the focus of my daily routine. Having personal pets as well as formally managing an equine and farm animal rescue site for ten years, caring for animals and having them accompany me through my every day life is just natural for me. Establishing trust with animals and prioritizing their safety are the elements of care that I focus on as an animal caretaker. Fenced yards and doggie doors at my home allow my dogs freedom and safety. Respecting schedules and routines when visiting clients of pets at other homes is another focus as it reduces potential stress on others pets. Pet care, allowing owner peace of mind is a top priority.
“This was our first time using Kristin to watch our dog Harlow. Kristin was responsive and took extra time the first visit to make sure our timid dog was comfortable and all her needs were met. I highly recommend Kristin if you are in need of a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for 13 years and have two pugs of my own, including Bentlee, a rehomed liver shunt survivor whose health issues I caught and acted on quickly. I have hands on experience with medication management, senior dog care and the unique needs of small breeds and flat faced breeds. Every dog I care for is treated exactly like my own. 🐾 Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom and online college student with a flexible schedule. Every dog gets my full love and attention.🐾 I maintain a calm, safe and loving environment. My dogs are crate trained, obedience trained and follow structured routines including enrichment, exercise, special diets and daily grooming. 🐾
“Gabrielle dropped in on my dog Doc. I had just rescued Doc and was worried about how he would do home alone and I wasn't sure about his personality yet. I needed someone to drop in on him who was knowledgeable enough about dogs to be cautious with my new baby. Gabrielle did just that! She stopped in played with Doc and gave him so much love. She took a lot of pictures and videos of him and let me know how he was doing. She followed my directions and was respectful of my home. Now that I have had Doc for a couple of months he has shown his wild side! As a shelter pup, he didn't have much training and there were days when I felt frustrated with his behavior. I eventually reached out to Gabrielle for advice and I'm so glad I did. She was very responsive and gave me great tips and tricks that really helped! Since then, Gabrielle has continued to drop in on Doc. She helped Doc get used to walking on a leash and taught him his first commands. He knows sit, down, place, and is working on wait! Gabrielle is truly amazing and I can't recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a child. I’ve had many years of experience taking care of my own dogs from feeding, bathing, and walking them to dog sitting and overnight care for my family and friends fur babies. I am currently involved in senior dog rescue. I’m very passionate about rescuing dogs and finding them their forever homes. I’ve had training in administering medications and have experience with my own pup’s medical needs. I adopted my Chihuahua mix, Trooper, from a senior pet rescue. He’s my sweet companion and side kick. I’ve been a dog mom to breeds of all sizes and temperaments from a large Sheepdog to a tiny Toy Poodle. I am currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play with your pups! I am available for drop-in and walks on short notice if needed. Your pup will have a caring, loving and experienced dog mom to provide for exercise, potty breaks and lots of fresh air. I’ll tailor your pup’s activities and experiences to any specific likes and needs that they have.

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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
