About: I think what sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around animals — not just watching them, but really connecting with them. Since I have pets of my own, I understand their moods, their little personalities, and how important routines are. I’m very patient, especially with shy pets, puppies who are still learning, or senior pets who need a slower pace and extra care. I pay attention to details, whether it’s feeding schedules, small behavior changes, or giving medication if needed. I also make sure pets feel calm and safe in my home — lots of love, playtime, and cuddles if they enjoy that. I treat them like family, not like a job. 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own pets every day. Feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable is just part of my normal life. I plan my schedule so I have enough time and energy to give each pet attention, not just the basics. Whether it’s morning walks, evening cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I make sure they feel consistent care throughout the day. Taking care of animals isn’t something extra for me — it’s something I truly enjoy and already do every day. 🐾💛 I live in a clean, calm apartment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest, fresh water at all times, and I follow their regular feeding schedule closely. Since I’m in an apartment, I take dogs out for regular walks and potty breaks throughout the day to make sure they get exercise and fresh air. I also provide playtime, attention, and quiet time depending on their personality and energy level. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully — keeping routines consistent so the pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owner is away.
“When we came home our cat was happy and relaxed which made me happy because I know he was well cared for. Braxton kept in touch while we were away so we didn’t worry about his care. We will reach out for cat sitting services from Braxton again!”
“Mashawnda was really great with Oreo. She was extremely communicative and ensured I was aware of everything. Her notes were very detailed and personable. My pup we very happy and so was I. She also left treats for my pup.”
About: Proud pet parent of 3 cats and a dog! I love all animals, handle complex care, and I’m trained in pet CPR and first aid. I have a very open, flexible schedule, which means your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day with walks, playtime, structure, and lots of one-on-one care. Your pet’s safety always comes first. If needed, they can have their own private room, and my sweet, well-socialized cats and dog help create a calm, secure environment. 🐾
“Heather was so amazing with my girls! We hired her last minute for a trip and she came through like a champ. She was able to manage my anxious stranger danger old girl with ease. I really appreciate how she sat on the floor with her at the meet and greet and really let her get to know her. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Brooke came to meet us before her visit and I was so impressed with that to begin with. She is punctual and knowledgeable and well spoken, just a really sweet gal. I trust her and my dog already loves her. As important is she loved my dog!”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I always make sure pets get the exercise, playtime, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I closely follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by owners. I’m attentive, patient, and always supervise pets during walks and playtime. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment and treat your home with respect. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I wholeheartedly cherish and adore pets, as they bring immeasurable joy and companionship into my life. Their unwavering loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to understand and connect with humans on a profound level make them invaluable members of any family. The unconditional love they provide is unparalleled, and I believe that caring for pets is a truly enriching and rewarding experience, one that brings happiness and fulfillment beyond measure My pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as grooming and health check-ups. I prioritize their well-being, setting aside quality time for bonding and training, which strengthens our relationship and brings us both joy and contentment. As a pet care provider, whether in my own home or my clients', I prioritize the welfare and happiness of the animals entrusted to me. I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, which may include regular feeding, exercise, and play sessions. In-home care involves maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to their daily routines, and administering any necessary medications. Additionally, I ensure ample companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience when separated from their owners. My ultimate goal is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere for the pets under my care.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kannapolis is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kannapolis choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
