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!
“We really appreciate Lydia's help. We can tell from the photos she provided of our dogs that they were well taken care of. Having someone look after our dogs on such a long vacation was a relief. Being able to keep them at our house was certainly a stress relief for them and us. They both get a little separation anxiety so not having to leave them at a boarding place was a great plus. Once again, the pictures showed that they enjoyed having Lydia there and the updates she gave us every day were a load off our minds. We would absolutely book Lydia again.”


About: Hi, I’m Anneliese! As a dog owner for over 13 years, I know firsthand that pets are truly family. I understand that every single pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and routine, and I pride myself on taking the time to truly understand what makes your furry friend feel safe and happy. Whether it’s matching the high energy of a spirited small dog, respecting the independent boundaries of a cat, or maintaining the peaceful routine of a senior pet, I’m here to provide dedicated, personalized care. I’ll treat your home with total respect and your pets like my own! My schedule is perfectly suited for house and pet sitting. I am a full-time student taking online classes, which means my 'desk' moves wherever I go! I’m highly flexible and will be spending most of my day right alongside your pet, keeping them company while I study. Your pet gets a dedicated buddy, and you get peace of mind knowing their routine won't be disrupted. To ensure the absolute best experience for your pet, I exclusively offer house sitting and pet care inside your home. At my own home, I have a happy family of four cats and one dog, so I know firsthand how stressful a crowded or unfamiliar environment can be for animals! By coming to your home, I ensure your pet gets to stay in their safe, comfortable haven with 100% of my undivided attention. My personal 'zoo' has taught me that every single animal has a distinct personality, boundary, and set of needs. I will treat your home with the utmoste respect while following your exact routine for feeding, playtime, and safety. Because my college classes are mostly online, I will be around your house for most of the day, keeping your pet company and sending you plenty of photo updates!
“Katheryn did a great job with our boys. Had her before and again, no disappointment. Communication was spot on as during the time of sitting, we had the storm. Highly recommend.”

“Kristina went out of her way to help me out in a pinch! I got stuck on the other side of town and she dropped in…on less than an hour’s notice…to let my dogs out! I really appreciate her flexibility! Such a gem🤩!”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I’ve been asked by friends and family to dog sit many times, and have helped care for anxious dogs, as well as basic needs such as food and walks. I can also help with basic puppy training! I am available in the evenings M-F after 5pm, and on most weekends to stop in for visits or to stay overnight with your pet if needed! Right now, I have two cats in my home, but have access to a big yard and nearby parks for walking dogs and letting them play.
“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. 💕”

“Norma goes above and beyond! She communicated very well, even while I was abroad, and truly took the best possible care of my cats. I very highly recommend her as your future pet sitter!”

“Makena is absolutely amazing. My dogs are big and unruly and she not only had no problem handling them, she also fed, walked, and played with them. And they loved her, too. We are very happy and will continue to hire her to take care of our babies!!”


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.
“Our first experience using Rover, and boy oh boy, did we hit the jackpot with Michelle!! We went out of the country for Christmas, and she cared for our dog, 5 cats and a bearded dragon. I received regular updates and the best pictures so we were assured that our babies were okay. She went above and beyond, bringing in mail and packages. I can't wait to go on vacation again, knowing Michelle and her sweet boy, Archer have us covered!”

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.

About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.
“Justin was to the rescue when someone did not show to take care of my little autumn while I was 45 minutes away from home. Thank you very much for being there for her and for me highly recommended.”


“Makenzie helped me out by providing drop in care for my two cats when I had to leave town last minute. She is great at communicating and cared for my cats as well as keeping an eye out on my home. So appreciative for her help and caring spirit.”

About: I have been a pet owner all my life and I treat every furbaby like they are my own. I enjoy animals and I think they make a household so much better. I’m the one my friends and family rely on when it comes to watching their animals when they have to go out of town and I won’t let you down either with your best friend. I work during the week but I am off during the weekends but I am more than willing to open my home to anyone who needs care. I feed all dogs in their crate or across a baby fence to keep everyone out of trouble and to prevent accidents. Unless I’m familiar with the dogs, I do allow out of crate sleeping but for most I stick with crate sleeping. My schedule is set the same every week. I do work full-time at my job (Monday to Friday) but I am off every weekend. . I treat every animal that walks through my door like family. If I’m watching multiple dogs everyone eats in their crate or across the baby gate.
About: Having grown up with a variety of animals, I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to provide attentive, loving care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine—whether they’re high-energy and need plenty of exercise, or older and prefer a slower pace. I have a friendly cat who has free roam of the house, and I also have a secure, fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kannapolis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Kannapolis with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
