“Wonderful sitter! Alexander did drop-in visits for our cat for a week, and he was amazing! Great updates with humor and pictures, even changed our smoke alarm battery when it started chirping. A+ all around, highly recommend him.”
“Kat took care of my cat for 10 days and was wonderful. She was reliable, communicated consistently with updates, and she clearly took great care of him. Most importantly, he warmed up to her quickly, which give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend.”
About: I previously worked at a doggy daycare for a few months. The work included supervised group play, cleaning up messes, and taking them for walks. I take college classes on MON-WED which lets me use the rest of my time for taking care of your pets at any time of the day. I will travel to your home to take care of your pets or just spend time walking around with them, I am very detail oriented so I will follow whatever instructions you give me.
“Kelly was able to accommodate us last minute for a drop in visit for our pup. She was prompt and followed our instructions for our senior boy. We would highly recommend!”
About: I've had a dog in my life for the past 17 years and have loved every second of it. Dogs truly are god's gift to man, and I try to do everything in my power to allow them to have the most engaging and enjoyable experiences possible. For the past year and a half, my family has been fostering dogs until they are adopted. Because of this, I have experience watching over and entertaining all kinds of different breeds of dogs with different attitudes and levels of energy, usually multiple dogs at once. With the services I offer (house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking) I will make sure each dog gets individual attention, proper care, and of course loads of affection. I enjoy playing with dogs, cuddling with dogs, wrestling with dogs, playing fetch with dogs, taking them to dog parks, and anything else they could possibly desire. When taking care of your dog, you can be confident that your dog will be in a loving and fun-filled environment. I am currently working full time as a graduate student so my schedule is skewed toward weekend booking starting Friday afternoon/evening through Sunday evening. That being said, I am able to make exceptions depending on the specific situation, so please feel free to reach out if you are at all interested! I'm only able to offer pet car in the client's home at this time. However, I strive to ensure pets are as comfortable at home with me as they are with their owners, and try to re-create the home schedule that they are used to with their owner, including meal times, walks and bathroom break, and cuddle and play time. I make sure to keep owners in the loop with pictures/videos and 1-2 updates per day. Additionally, I strive to leave the home as clean and tidy as when I arrived, so the owner wouldn't even know I was there.
“Loved having Kate out to take care of Annie and Leo. Kate came out a couple weeks ago to meet them and us and she’s a real pleasure to talk to plus our dogs got along very well with her. My husband and I have no hesitation in hiring Kate again or recommending her.”
About: All my life, I've had dogs and cats as part of my family. I have a lot of experience with caring for puppies and older dogs and cats as well as feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with other's pets. I'm currently working a part-time job which lets me keep my schedule open and flexible. I'm available mornings and evenings most week days and weekends. Typically, I do my best to keep the pet's routine the same (walking, playing, and feeding times) as well as keeping to special instructions, such as administering medicine or training methods. I'm neat and clean and make sure to keep people's homes tidy with both day visits and overnights. Also, I give people daily updates on their pets while they're away, including photos and daily check-in texts.
About: I can’t have a pup of my own so caring for other people’s dogs is what I love to do! I have boarded a dog for 8 months in the past and continue to house and dog sit whenever the opportunity arises. I have 5 years of dog handling experience and I take pride in giving owners solid peace of mind so they can go about their day knowing their 4 legged family member is well taken care of. I understand that every dog is different and you can rest assure I will go over each and every detail concerning your pup. When I care for dogs, I treat them as my own, providing lots of love and attention. I promise to treat your pup as you would, a day full of walks and belly rubs.
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone for the weekend! I was so nervous to leave her since she gets insulin injections, but Jennifer did a great job with them and was always on time! Lola definitely enjoyed her company. Will rebook next time I have petsitting needs!”
About: Hello! I am 38, been in Durham since 2013, and I have lived with several friends who had dogs, so I got my start taking care of them when our human housemates were out of town. One of those longtime housemates is a certified dog trainer who had three dogs when we lived together, so I learned a lot from them about dog care and behavior! In my mid 20’s, I was referred to a friend’s parents for overnight dog sitting. I ended up loving it and have been dog sitting for them for 10+years. I’ve also taken care of their three adult children’s pets when they’re on vacation many times, proving that they trust me with their whole family 💜 Three of the dogs I have taken care of have been seniors with medications, special diets and/or needs, such as more frequent potty breaks, or help getting up and down stairs. I enjoy spending special time with those elderly family members. Since then, I have been referred to several other people for overnight stays. I have a few regular clients whose cats and dogs I stay with as well. I grew up a cat person, rescuing and raising kittens from a feral cat colony in our neighborhood. We had six of our own throughout the years who all lived to be between 18-22 years old! I have also taken care of chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs several times. I love to garden and take care of plants, as I have worked on a couple farms for several years and currently live with someone who owns a landscaping/garden business 🌱 I am currently in between jobs while pursuing a new career. Previously, I have managed catering companies for the last 10 years. While I am job hunting, I am very flexible to spend as much time as needed with your pet! When I am staying with a new dog, I make sure to use the owners’ commands, following their instructions to a ‘T’. I believe that dogs can sense when someone isn’t comfortable with them, so I try to establish a trusting relationship where the dog will respect me while also feeling calm with me, during the time when their person isn’t home. I would love to have repeat clients in order to build a longer relationship with them. It always feels so good when I show up to a client’s house and their pet is as excited to see me as I am to see them💖
“Katy is absolutely wonderful! We have a three-legged golden who needs some extra care and she did an amazing job making sure she was comfortable and moving. Will definitely be using Katy again!”
“I would definitely recommend Anita for all of your pet sitting needs. She came for a meet and greet the weekend before. And my 3 cats were immediately comfortable with her...which is very, very rare! One cat was a gift during Covid, so he literally has met no one. And he adjusted to her quickly. This made me very comfortable as well. She sent pics and updates frequently. I felt like I could enjoy my weekend because I knew my pets were well taken care of. Thank you Anita!”
About: Hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah, Hade for short! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. As a child, my family and I went through experiences with a wide variety of pets including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has truly taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. Currently, I have and take care of my dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and enjoys meeting new furry friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer student in my senior year at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my home with a fenced-in gate, located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.
“Alyson was great! Gave daily updates including photos and provided a nice balance of love/care and respect of boundaries for our cats. Would definitely book again!”

Alexandra is always my first choice to watch my dog. She’s caring, reliable, and a great communicator. With all the troubles that can happen with flights, last-minute changes are sometimes unavoidable, and she handled them with total understanding and flexibility. I couldn’t be happier with her care. Thank you so much, Alexandra!
Emeline was absolutely amazing with my two dogs. From the moment I hired her, I felt complete peace knowing they were in loving, attentive, and capable hands. She treated them with genuine care, patience, and warmth, like they were her own. I could tell my dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for when I returned, which speaks volumes about the trust and bond she created with them. Her communication was thoughtful, her presence reassuring, and her energy exactly what my dogs needed. I am beyond happy with Emeline and truly grateful for the care she provided. I would book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone exceptional to care for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Heather Glen is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 4,668 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Heather Glen. 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 Heather Glen. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
