“I highly recommend Victoria to take care of your little fuzzball. She was able to handle all of my OCD instructions and everything was perfect when I returned. She will definitely be my new go-to pet sitter.”
About: While you’re away, I’ll treat your pups like family! From epic playtime to cozy snuggles, I ensure they’re safe, loved, and having the absolute best time. I work in a hospital setting so my schedule is very inconsistent! I will only accept bookings when I am not going to work! But still I am very excited to meet your little friends! I live in an apartment, and have 1 very friendly French bulldog (she is very old and sassy, but still very kind 🤍). Please be at ease your fur baby will get all the exercise and love they deserve! I will make sure to give them my best while you’re away!
“Lindsay is an excellent cat sitter. From the very beginning, she was responsible, kind, and extremely attentive. She took wonderful care of my cats and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and happy while I was away. Lindsay kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Makena was just wonderful!! I received plenty of pictures and information to let me know they were doing well while I was away. I did not worry or was concerned at all with Makena watching my babies. I would definitely use her again and would definitely recommend! Thank you Makena, for being awesome!”
About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.
About: Hi! I have 7+ years of hands-on animal care experience and started working with animals as a kennel tech and bather. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I’ve also worked at an animal hospital and a dog training facility. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy/nervous dogs, puppies, seniors, and multi-pet households. I also have bathing experience and genuinely love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I do Rover as a fun side job because I truly love animals, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own 🤍 I work full-time at an office job so my evenings and weekends are typically free! I leave my house at 8:30, can take my lunch hour whenever throughout the day and usually get home by 6:30. I always have Sundays off and will either have a Saturday or Monday off as well. My house has a fenced in yard with plenty of shade and nature. My roommate and I have two senior dogs that spend most of their time napping or asking for pets. We feed them twice a day and take them out to potty 4-5x daily. We also have two house cats that keep each other company. They are all neutered/spayed.
“Michelle always takes care of our kitty boys so well! We appreciate her communication and attentiveness. One of our boys takes meds and also needs a little extra patience to make sure his food/meds are eaten. She takes the time to sit with him and encourage him until he’s eaten most of it. Thanks, Michelle!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for 6 years, my own dog is a Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix), who I've had since he was a puppy. I also have experience caring for an American Bulldog, giving me experience with both large and small breeds. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping dogs company. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care I give my own. I currently am a college student as well as working part time in the mornings. I am available any time after 11:30 AM on weekdays & weekends except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available in the morning/early morning on Wednesdays and Thursdays. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with respect. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet supervised and safe, and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my visit.
“Thank you thank you thank you for taking such awesome care of our Roscoe. We appreciate your flexibility, communication, extensive detail, and lots of pictures. Heidi administered as needed medication appropriately and was very detailed in her reports. All signs say our boy loved her. We were able yo focus on our trip, knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Sam did such an awesome job taking care of my kitten, Malin. She gave her lots of love and playtime and made sure she was well fed and cared for. Malin seems really happy which is evidence that she was well cared!”
About: I’m a very caring and patient person, and I treat pets like they’re part of the family. I’m dependable, attentive, and good at paying attention to their individual needs and routines. I love being active, going on walks, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and giving pets the love, and attention they need. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I follow their normal routine, provide food and water, take them for walks, give them attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
About: I have own dogs most of my life. We enjoy watching and having fun with your fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard to ensure that the dogs stay safe and within my property. We let the dogs out casually and as needed. I work from home so I always here to tend to them. The backyard has plenty of space to run and have fun. Also, we live a short distances from walking trails. The fur babies are welcome to go outside in the fenced in backyard as needed throughout the day. We keep plenty of water available for the fur babies to access in and outside the house. We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for the dogs to play and have fun. We live across the street from the dog path for walking.
“I would choose William again to take care of my little kitty! We had a last minute request and William made sure to come and meet my cat and us first to make sure he knew our routine. Our baby was spoiled and William made sure to take care of our cat, cat supplies, our house so we came home to a clean house and happy cat. 💕”
About: I always hear people talk about the love of their pet. I understand how that feels since I now have a fur baby of my own. I work from home for the most part; therefore, I have the ability to give your fur baby the attention and care that they deserve. Pet love is the purest form of love. I have a fenced in big back yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I also have a cozy and clean indoor space where your baby can rest and feel at home.
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have cared for pets of all sorts. I am a pet owner myself to 2 friendly, loving dogs, and 1 cat! I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your baby to run and play while you are away! I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I have 24/7 access to caring for your pet! I live in downtown Concord, therefore I have the ability to take your pet on long walks. I care for pets by maintaining the same care and needs they would receive at home. I maintain a routine schedule, so that pets have daily structure. I I live in a peaceful and smoke free, and stress environment, so pets with high anxiety are made to feel more comfortable. I have a separation gate for pets who need to be fed separately. I have multiple crates for pets who need to be crated when I am away or at night. My fenced in yard provides a safe place for your pets to play or bask in the sun.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 .
