About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊

About: 🐾 About Me Pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. ❤️ I’m a military spouse and lifelong animal lover. Before being stationed in North Carolina, I spent six years working at an animal hospital in Rhode Island, where I worked as a veterinary assistant, cared for animals in the kennel, and provided dog-sitting services. I truly understand how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply someone to keep them company, I’d love the opportunity to care for them while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. 🐾❤️ I’ll care for your dogs and cats with patience, love, and lots of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m available for regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, while keeping each pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your home is your pets safe space, I'll treat it with the same care and respect I'll give your pets. During checkins, walks or playtime I will keep a close eye on their safety and follow your routines and instructions.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am comfortable with all breeds.I work from home full time and have the flexibility for frequent bathroom breaks as needed. I have a small fenced area for ouside time and enjoy walks through the neighborhood when the weather allows. I work from home so I am able to provide care throughout the day without the worry of your pet being left alone for an extended period. On the occasions where I have to leave, pets are free to roam the house or can be crated at the owners request based off the pets comfort level and behavior when left alone. My work schedule allows for flexible breaks for pet care. I have a large back yard and live on a quiet street perfect for walks. I am also able to provide drop in visits throughout the day if caring for the animals in your home.
About: I have loved animals my whole life! So much - I could have retired many times by now - and be sipping my coffee with a view, But my view is my Loveable, Adorable - Poodle who loves me every day without restraints! And I love her just as much! I couldn't live without animals - and can't imagine my life without pets! I will love and care for your pets - just like they were my very own! I have owned every animal possible - other than snakes and spiders (I am afraid of those)… I have been owning and showing horses for 25 years at the National level - so got horses - I love them too! Call me for your pet services. I am adaptable to the dogs individual needs. Your pets will be treated, kind, loved and cared for just like I care for my own!! I have several private clients.. I work from home - I have a very tight schedule and the pet sitting helps me maintain a balance work-life. Pet sitting is my relief that forces me to accept there is more to life than working for large corporate America without breaks. I live in a small private community allows for long nice walks. If your dog likes to ride - I enjoy taking the dogs out for drives. We also own a farm (My Daughters farm and I enjoy taking the dogs over to the farm to allow them a change in scenery - If you indicate your dog may enjoy that experience).
About: I’m a SAHM whose 2 year toddler can’t seem to get enough of our own fluffy friends! We can’t to play with yours! I have had my own 2 dogs for about 8-9 years but have had animals my whole life growing up on a diary farm. June is our blue nose staffordshire terrier who lives for fetch followed by a good snooze and kisses and Mila is our fluff ball of joy and crazy eyes, who unfortunately never quite runs out of energy and can sometimes be a bit mischievous like many other high energy husky’s so I have much experience with caring for high energy dogs! While staying with me you can be sure to know your dog will have plenty of room to roam in and outside of our house with our 1 acre yard that is perfect for some chuck-it fetch time and being able to do their business with plenty of room. I also pride myself in keeping my home clean to include the outside so you never have to worry about your dogs picking up any illness during their time with in our home. We can’t wait for your little four legged friends to have a comfortable and worry free stay with us! Home all day unless I gotta take a quick trip to the grocery store or get a little workout in. I usually workout that leaves us from the house for no more than 2 hrs. I have a fully fenced in acre back yard that is cleaned daily to ensure the yard stays as poop free as possible and keep a clean and tidy home so dogs are not in danger of consuming old toys or other objects that they may have a hard time digesting. We also have hard wood floors which helps with my allergy prone visitors!
About: I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust. I am currently available during the week and most weekends to care for your pets; this includes drop in visits, walks and even training sessions. Safety of the pets in my care is of the utmost importance, whether I care for them in the client’s home, I am boarding them in my home or walking them in public. I will abide by city, county and state laws regarding the care and maintenance of your beloved pets.
“Kentrice is such a sweet gentle sitter. She has her home prepped for hosting with a warm and welcoming setting. She respondinded quickly to my request for dog sitting and was available immediately to caregive to my 2 midsize dogs. Highly recommend Kentrice for your petcare needs.”
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience, providing reliable feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a military spouse and I have access to the Airforce Base I’m a student, but pets are part of my everyday routine! I make time each day for walks, play, and cuddles, with extra flexibility on weekends. I keep pets on their usual routine, offering meals, walks, playtime, and attention, creating a safe, loving space where they feel secure and cared for.
About: I got my first puppy when I was eight years old. I grew up learning how to care for her from my dad. She was protective, loving, and my best friend. After she passed away, I recused a new puppy from my neighbors who were unable to care for him. All on my own I was able to house train him, make him less food aggressive, and even teach him some tricks like high-five and roll over! He is my new best friend and a part of my family. Since I am at school, he is currently back home with my dad. I miss him so much! I would love to get to know some new furry friends and treat them with the love and care family deserves. I am a full time student at UNC but am home for the summer to take care of all your furry friends! Rover is my full time job and I am capable of handling multiple bookings at a time. I am very careful and responsible when it comes to taking care of myself and others. I would stick to a routine and follow any guidelines that were previously set for me. It is always my goal to leave every pet happy and well taken care of in any environment.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, raised puppies and nursed elderly dogs! Definitely a passion of mine. I’ve trained a few rescues as well. I work part time so I’m home quite often, other than that I spend my free time hiking or taking walks with my own pup Willow. Open spaced home, great walking neighborhood with dog park only .10 mile away. Willow I’ve raised since a puppy, she’s a 6 year old lab who is insanely affectionate and energetic, and beyond sweet. She does get overly excited meeting new dogs, and loves making new friends! It’s different for each sitting and depends on what each owner is looking for. I will not take on opportunities that I can’t be fully invested and present for. Plenty of free time to accommodate your pups needs! Communication with other owners is vital from both ends to be sure everyone is taken care of and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hobbton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
