“Melanie and Taylor exceeded my expectations for my first experience with a pet and house sitter in many years. I tend to be quite neurotic about my fur babies and rarely leave them behind, but to say they were well cared for is an understatement. Melanie was the main caregiver this week, and her communication with me never made me worry or feel uneasy while we were away. My three little ones can be quite the handful, but she helped ease any stress by sending extremely detailed updates throughout the day with lots of photos. It was so wonderful! I will not hesitate to call on this lovely team of caring individuals again in the future! ♥️”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jackie was great with the pups & was able to help out in a pinch for Christmas! We look forward to future stays and appreciate the awesome photos while we were gone! Merry Christmas!”
“Ashley is compassionate, communicative, and professional. What I consider to be the 3 most important traits of anyone who cares for animals. She is my only choice when I leave town!”
“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.”
About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
“Donna has been great communicating with during her stay with my dogs with pictures and good updates. She even did some tidying up upon her departure! Will certainly use her services in future!”
“I can’t say more good things about Samantha. I am very picky and selective of who watches my senior dog as she is genuinely everything to me and I’m very over protective and obsessed with her. Samantha watched her for a weekend I had to go out of town. She was super communicative and thorough with her updates. I usually worry sick about my dog when I go out of town but this time, I didn’t find myself worrying because I knew she was in good hands. Samantha spent so much time with my dog over the weekend and it felt good to know she wasn’t alone for long periods, plus my dog recently had surgery and she was great about that as well. Highly highly recommend !!!!!”
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.
“I was very pleased with her as a sitter. She came over and got to know my dog and showed up on time the first day. She sent me pics and kept me up to date throughout my trip. My dog was comfortable with her. I would let her watch my puppy again.”
“She was amazing. She was in time stayed and did everything we asked. She took pictures everyday and gave us updates. By far one of the best on the site. Will be using her again”
“Vanessa is over the moon amazing at taking care of our sweet fur babies while away. She provided lots of communication and photos and make sure our fur babies felt right at home while we were gone.”
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: 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.
“We just recently used Jeffrey to take care of our Australian Labradoodle puppy (10 months old) for an overnight stay to make sure she and Jeffrey got along fine. Turns out nothing to worry about since he was kind and caring towards her and she would take walks with him! Change in her behavior since our other dog walker we use occasionally she would not budge from the driveway. All in all, great experience and we are using him again in July. We highly recommend him!”
About: I grew up around animals and have taken care of them as well. I help my friend with foster cats. I have experience with bottle feeding kittens and puppies. I'm currently currently unemployed so I'm currently available at any and all times. I can walk dogs, brush cats and dogs if needed. I can play with the pets as well to help keep them active and happy. I'm currently unemployed, keeping me available all the time. I do internship at a stables in the mornings, the timings vary. I'm available on the weekends too and can do overnights if needed. I make it my top priority to make sure all pets are safe, feel trusted, and comfortable. I will do whatever means necessary to provide safety and comfort to your furbabies.

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 2,661 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
