“Ashley was awesome and so happy we had her stay with our three dogs. One of our girls is high maintenance due to some medical issues which Ashley had no hesitation about. She stayed in our home with our dogs and all went well. We received pictures of the dogs daily, along with updates, which we greatly appreciated. If you are considering hiring Ashely - go for it as you will not be disappointed!!”
“Sky loved him as soon as he walked in the door. We felt very comfortable leaving her in his hands. Charles is very friendly and we will certainly use him again. Highly recommend! Thank you.”
“Lydia took wonderful care of my two dogs while staying with them over the weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. She followed their schedules and routines perfectly, spent plenty of time playing with them, and made sure they felt comfortable, happy, and loved while I was away. Knowing my dogs were in such caring and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. When I returned home, they were relaxed, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I am so grateful for the pictures and videos she sent and the attention and affection she gave them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Sam was very communicative and provided regular updates. She was great at taking in the over abundance of information I provided about my senior dog. I appreciate her patience with him.”
About: I’ve had a variety of animals in my home and loved them all my life! I love serving animals and providing them with the upmost respect and care. I’m a veterinary assistant so I have vast knowledge about cat & dogs medical needs. I can confidently administer medications, including insulin. I can provide care almost anytime on Mondays and Friday’s. I work Tuesday-Thursday 10 hour shifts but could potentially provide care after work at 6pm. Reach out about weekend availability. I have two very sweet cats at home that do well with other dogs. I have a “fear free” approach to care provided in your home, including animal pheromone therapy, patience/gradient touch, food motivation, respect of boundaries and positive vibes.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have cats of my own and have experience fostering, so I understand the patience and care that pets need to adjust and thrive. I work a full-time job, but I make pet care a priority and will always be upfront about my availability. My husband is also a dependable animal lover who is happy to help when appropriate, so your pets will always receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like family while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, consistent care that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll communicate clearly, arrive on time, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and routines to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I have cats of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, slow introductions, and creating a calm environment. If boarding a cat, I can provide a separate space if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Nikki was great. Harlem was a little snippy on day 1 but she let me know what was going on and was willing to try to make him more comfortable and it worked. I am grateful for her this holiday season as I was traveling . She sent pics and updates . I came back to a clean home and a happy pup.”
“Jacquelyn was absolutely wonderful! Communicative, punctual, friendly and super sweet with our pup. She spent the whole evening keeping Maple company and came home to a happy and tired puppy. Would 10/10 recommend and will book again.”

About: With lifelong experience owning dogs and cats, along with years of pet sitting, dog training, and showing dogs, I bring both skill and genuine passion to pet care. I understand the importance of trust, patience, and personalized attention, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: Hi! I’m Ronni. I share my home with five cats and two dogs, and I also foster rescue dogs, so caring for animals with different personalities, medical needs, and anxiety levels is something I’m very comfortable with. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, patient approach. I have experience with: • Senior pets who need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication • Anxious or traumatized dogs who need gentle handling and trust-building • Multi-pet households with different routines and needs • Cats who may be shy, selective, or need space and patience • Maintaining consistent routines to reduce stress while you’re away I understand how important routine and trust are, especially for pets who are sensitive or have been through stressful experiences. I move at their pace and focus on helping them feel safe and comfortable. I provide detailed updates after every visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I’m reliable, observant, and will quickly notice if anything seems off. I’m available most evenings and weekends for drop-in visits and walks, and I’m happy to accommodate multiple visits per day to match your pet’s normal routine. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own. I work from home so can be flexible with timing. The best times for me would be over lunch breaks or after work hours! However, if something came up I could make time for it! I am currently not taking on any pet boarding requests. I have a fenced yard and a quick 5 min walk to the park which connects to a greenway, which we frequent! My dog and I love to walk downtown as well and meet all kinds of friends. My dog is super spoiled and even gets homemade food. He gets along great with my three cats who are on a very strict routine or they lose their patience with me! I understand how important routine and hence change can be for cats especially. They all have their different personalities, and it is so important to put that first. Ask me any questions about my four- I love talking about them!
About: I’ve been watching my bestfriends dogs as well as some of their families dogs since I was 10, including stays at their house! I love going on walks and to the dog parks with my friends dogs and would love to bring a dog along with me! I work full time, however my shifts are no longer than 7 hours and are very flexible if needed. My schedule works perfectly for drop in visits to walk, feed and check on your pets! I have a closed in balcony as well as having experience sealing off edges of fences to make sure my cats don’t escape when they played in my old backyard!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kannapolis
Charles was great. Meeko took to him right away during our meet and greet and his calm demeanor was very reassuring. He let me know about changes in his schedule in case we wanted to make alternative arrangements. He also communicated updates about Meeko’s eye and was happy to administer eye drops while we were out of town. He even left the sweetest gift for our baby that is expected to arrive later this year. Overall a great experience.
Krista is AMAZING! We are so happy with her and how she was with our boyz Dozer and Milo! She treated them like they were her own which means the world to us! We would more than highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone great to take care of their babies!
Rachel was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and was super communicative! She even took our one dog to the vet after an incident (nothing she could've done, just our two dogs that got into it) and she was super amazing. An absolute blessing in that moment when we couldn't be home.
Nikki was great. Harlem was a little snippy on day 1 but she let me know what was going on and was willing to try to make him more comfortable and it worked. I am grateful for her this holiday season as I was traveling . She sent pics and updates . I came back to a clean home and a happy pup.
Mackenzie took such great care of our pups (and our home!) while we were away. She provided excellent updates, was prompt to reply and made our time away stress free for us and the doggos. We are already planning to book again for our next trip! Would highly recommend booking with Mackenzie ◡̈

FAQs for House Sitting - Kannapolis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kannapolis on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,697 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kannapolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kannapolis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kannapolis maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
