About: ***** I will only accept dogs that are well behaved and possible trained **** so please be honest about your responses. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I work alongside veterinarians in my career, which has given me hands on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Caring for animals is more than a job, it’s something I truly love. ***** PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE before you bring your pet make sure they get a bath and in presentable condition, they are coming to a house where they will get the best care possible and hygiene now if you want me to wash them I can also do that at extra $10******* I also enjoy pet photography and would be happy to take professional quality photos of your furry friend during their stay! I work Monday through Friday with my afternoons free to spend with your pet. Since I start work early boarding pets get outside for a potty break first thing each morning. I live alone in my own condo with plenty of safe outdoor space nearby for walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Your pet will enjoy a calm, comfortable environment with lots of one on one attention. If it’s your first time using Rover, feel free to use my referral code for $20 off your first booking: BRANDONB18590
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now. We work from home so your pup will rarely be on their own. We also have a fenced back yard so they can play outside safely! We have three daughters that love to play with dogs so they will keep them perfectly entertained. We enjoy family walks in our neighborhood that your pup would join us on! We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.
“Samantha is amazing. Our babies are always so well taken care of and spoiled while we are away. I know I don’t have to worry about them at all. She truly loves them like they’re her own.”
About: Experienced dog owner, foster and sitter with non certified training skills. My partner and I have five dogs ranging from 100lbs to 15lbs and ages 2 to 10 years old. I have a deep love for all animals but especially dogs. I enjoy hiking and walks so I am the perfect fill in for your active pups. I am currently not working a regular 9 to 5 so I have vast availability for all types of pet sitting and care. I am happy to work with your schedule! In my own home and for those I care for I am a firm believer in structure and consistency. My animals know when feeding time is and have a regular routine. I value upholding that for my client's routines as well as I know it is not only important to the client but the wellbeing of the dog. This is even more pertinent when under stress with their family being 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.”
“Emma was fantastic!! We received pictures and updates with every visit. She sent us concerns to ensure they were not out of the ordinary and we returned to happy well cared doggos. We will be repeat customers for sure!! Thank you Emma!!!”
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.
About: I've taken care of pets all my life. I now am the proud owner of 3 dogs and 2 cats with my husband. Each of our pets is unique and I strive to care for each one of them individually. This is my goal for your pets as well! I am a teacher who is currently on summer break so will currently be able to provide the best care I can as I have free time. Although I cannot ensure 24 hour care as I will likely need to check on my own pets or go to work during the school year, I can ensure that pet care routines and instructions will be followed. When I enter a clients home, I do so with respect. My goal is to care for pets in their own environment in a way that is comforting and reliable. I want to ensure that your home is the same if not better than how I found it.
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.
“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.”
“Richard did such a great job! I was extremely anxious about leaving my girls. I believe he understood my fears and did everything to abate them. I was instantly at ease with him as were the animals. Great communication and was extremely patient as I worked through the nuances of the app (never used before). I’d book him again, anytime! Thank you ❤️”
“Makenzie was PHENOMENAL. Great energy and good questions at the meet & greet. I have 2 high energy 11month old border collie puppies and they love her. She was prompt, communicative and even somehow got the girls to be still long enough for a photo. Wonderful experience! She will be on our regular go-to walker 💕💞”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. 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.
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.

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.
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.
