“Chloe is definitely our go-to for drop in or overnight visits! She always keeps us updated on how our two dogs are doing and sends the cutest pictures. The dogs adore her! We’ve been using Chloe for a little over a year now and will continue to do so. :) Thanks for everything, Chloe!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and bearded dragons. I'm currently in grad school so I work during the day. Weekends work best but I can also do weekdays; just ask! I'm happy to discuss scheduling with you. I do not care for pets in my home, but for my clients' homes, I make sure that the house is in perfect order when my client returns.

About: I have grown up around animals and throughout that time have gained skills that help with sitting and with that it allows me to be a better sitter. I have been around all ages of cats and dogs my whole life and have been sitting regularly since I was thirteen. I’m currently in school and not very busy with classes, so I’ll be readily available to fulfill any petting sitting needs that are needed. I will usually check in and/or walk in the morning or in the evening. My dog gets walked twice a day at minimum because he tends to want to get that much energy out. This usually happens at night and I would be able to walk any dogs at the same level which I do mine.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 20+ years and have always treated them as part of the family. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I have over 10 years of experience providing dog sitting and overnight care for friends, family, and other pet owners. What sets me apart is the personal, family-focused care I provide. When your dog stays with us, they’re not just being watched—they’re welcomed into our home and treated like one of our own. Our family includes two kids who absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, which is why I prioritize keeping you updated with pictures and videos so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I’m home all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays so I am able to keep your pets routine those days! During the week, I will be at work if your pet is okay at home alone for 8 hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level, feeding schedule, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and consistent. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and downtime. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I communicate openly with pet parents and provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Our home is a family environment with two kids who love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. We welcome each dog into our home and treat them like one of our own. 🐾❤️
About: I grew up with dogs since I was 12, from a chihuahua mix to a labrador mix. I've had my current dog, a shi-tzu poodle mix, for 8 years now! I also have 2 cats as well. I have fostered kittens and have found furever homes with trusted friends and neighbors. I've cared for my neighbors' and friends' dogs when they vacation. They have entrusted me with their dogs and cats to walk, bathe, and feed them. I love animals and deeply care and respect every little critter that comes my way. Aftering graduating App State this past May, I stay in Boone and sometimes travel back home. I currently have time more time on my hands than usual. I welcome any pet and will treat them like my own. I live in an apartment and love going to the Greenway trail so I'll be sure to exercise your pet and am willing to care for them in the comfort of their own home.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs, and 1 of them is 100 Ibs. I am used to walking 3 to 4 miles a day. I have also taken care of cats for friends and family. I am an assistant principal. I can take care of your pet anytime after 3 pm during weekdays. I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. I ensure my dogs feel loved, have plenty of water, are fed, and get plenty of exercise. I will treat your animal like my own.
“Laney is so good with my neurotic, "never stop barking" dog. She is patient, kind and punctual. Her communication skills are excellent. The boys 🐾 like her and we'll definitely use her services again.”

About: I have grown up around and caring for various species of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I have experience with animals of all ages through personal pet care, caring for friends and family's pets. I currently own a dog, bearded dragon, and a holland lop bunny. I currently work until 3pm so I will have plenty time to care for your loves! I am available most weekends and some holidays. My calendar will be up to date I have a large fenced in yard. It will have plenty of room for your baby to run around and have a great time. I have one dog that I own. He’s wonderful around other dogs and he loves to make new friends! There are also 3 other large dogs in the house from my roommates. They are good around other dogs and love making new friends, too! They are fixed. There are 3 cats, one outside and two inside. One bearded dragon and bunny which are in my room and shouldn’t be an issue.
About: My family has had dogs for my entire life and I can’t imagine a day without a wagging tail. I’ve been so blessed to take care of pets in our community for the last 15 years. We have a sweet golden retriever and a one year old son that love to have friends to play with! We appreciate dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Let me know how active you would like your pet to be and I can provide an outlet for that energy. I can accommodate your schedule if you need doggy daycare, transportation, overnight boarding, or drop-in care. My husband and I both have hybrid schedules so at least one of us is home daily so our visitors never have to be left alone for long! We have a large fenced backyard and a dog park in our neighborhood. We do not accept more than 1-2 bookings at a time to ensure that everyone gets all of the attention that they need to have a great stay! We prefer your pet to be a member of the family instead of just one of a pack while they are in our care. We go on a family walk daily and are happy to reinforce any training that you are working on at home. Feel free to contact me with any questions and to ask me for my promo code to save you $20 off your first Rover Stay! I can't wait to meet you and your pet! One of us is always working from home so our friends will get a lunch time walk and potty breaks even on work days! Our dog walks a couple of miles in the evening so we can accommodate low energy or moderate energy friends with our typical schedule. We have a crate available if you use one at home but do not require any crating. We only accept one new client at a time and require meet and greets ahead of time to ensure we are the best fit! We only accept two bookings at a time to make sure everyone has enough attention. We have cameras set up downstairs so we can check on the pups even if we run out for an errand.
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter who gave us great updates on our furbaby while we were out of town along with sweet photos letting us know he was in good hands. We have an older cat who requires quite a bit of social time during his visits and Lauren was always willing to give him the attention he demands. Highly recommend!”


“Katie was reliable, caring, and great with my cats! She kept me updated with photos and I came home to happy, well cared for animals. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”

“Caitlin was amazing. She was prompt, she kept us updated with pictures and took the best care of our babies! I highly recommend her and will def be contacting her again in the future for care!”

“Karollyne follows instructions super well & is genuinely caring for my cats. When it was too cold and I had my window open, she closed it so that my kitties will not catch a cold. It’s the small details that matter! I would definitely book with her again.”
About: Growing up, I had 7 dogs in the house I cared for all at the same time for several years, ranging in size and age. Currently I own a Doberman, South African Mastiff(AKA Boerboel), a Pitt mix, and a Pomeranian! Although I haven’t owned a cat, I do care for my aunt’s kitten when needed! I am free from Saturdays at 5pm until Tuesdays at 6pm every week, this availability is due to the fact that I do have my daughter the other days, but I am also comfortable bringing her if your pet is child friendly feel free to message and I can come outside of this exact availability! I enjoy exercise, so any energetic animal will be fine with me, I am able to take long walks if that’s a preference of yours.
“This was our first time finding a sitter outside of family & friends and Chasydi did her best with our territorial dog. She was very communicative and tried her best to get our dog comfortable with her even though he was very anxious and not welcoming lol. She even went above and beyond with her own food & treats. We will definitely continue to book with her and hope our dog continues to get more comfortable with her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,956 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Haywood. 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 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 Haywood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
