“We had never left our 12 year old dogs home without us so were nervous about. Ashley was fantastic. She cared well for the dogs and they were comfortable with her. They were very happy when we got home. I deifnitiely plan to have Ashley come again.”
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.
“Maylin was absolutely wonderful to work with and was great with my dog Honey. She was communicative, sent photos, and left the house in great shape. I will definitely work with Maylin again!”
“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.”
“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.”

I would highly recommend Jess. She took great care of my dog . Jess was very communicative both via text and pictures and kept me informed as what was going on with my dog. Jess did in home sitting for me and when I got home the house was spotlessly clean . She is very dependable and reliable. Five stars all the way. I will absolutely use her again
We could not have been more impressed with Lydia! We were nervous leaving our 5month old Dane pup for the first time but she settled in quickly! Lydia walked all the babies daily (we have a dog door so walking them isn’t required) & she worked on the puppy’s training in our absence. We got lots of pictures & it’s clear all 3 of the pups loved her! We came home to clean home & she even changed our bed! We’ll definitely be using her again!!
Emily took absolutely wonderful care of our dog during our weekend away. She was communicative, kind, and tidy. She left our house cleaner than when she found it! I can tell from the photos that our sometimes nervous pup was very comfortable with her. We’ll definitely be using Emily’s services again!
Charles was great. Meeko took to him right away during our meet and greet and his calm demeanor was very reassuring.

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
