“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!!”
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 was a veterinary assistant for many years, so I have vast knowledge about cat & dogs medical needs. I can confidently administer medications, including oral and insulin. I am available most any time! I try to keep my rover calendar as up to date as possible. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! 😌 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 optional animal pheromone therapy, patience/gradient touch, food motivation, respect of boundaries and positive vibes.
“Taylor and Joey were great to work with. This was our first time using Rover and my first time leaving my two dogs alone. Not only did they go above and beyond our expectations, but they even sent pictures putting my mind at ease. These two are seriously the best. I have definitely found the perfect dog sitters and will be using their services 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!”
“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.”
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.
“Samm was amazing! She watched my boys for a week and treated not only them but my home like her own. She went above and beyond with updates, messages, videos, etc. I simply could not have asked for anything more. I will most definitely be booking with Samm 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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and adopted my own pup during Covid—the best decision I ever made! I love spending time with animals and regularly care for family and friends’ pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and will make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week, morning to night, and can accommodate any schedule. Whether it’s early walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m always flexible and reliable to meet your pet’s needs. I successfully trained my own dog and am very comfortable caring for pets at all stages, including those who use crates, are still potty training, or need extra patience and consistency. I understand that every animal has unique needs and will provide kind, attentive care tailored to their routine.
“Vanessa was a great sitter for our two Dalmatians! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures which really put us at ease as this was our first time ever having a sitter for the boys! 10/10 would recommend her ❤️”
“We contacted Amanda last minute for an overnight stay. She kindly agreed to hop on a video call with us to meet our pup, Lady, virtually and hear about our apartment. Lady immediately warmed up to her upon meeting and we felt very comfortable leaving her. She kept us updated all weekend long with photos and general things to note. Lady was even sad to see her leave. She also left our place just as we found it, with no mess, and welcomed us home! Afterwards, she sent us incredible high-quality photos of Lady which we also greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Amanda!”

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!

“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.”

Lydia was amazing! She made sure our little guy was happy, and treated him like he was her own. She sent daily updates and picture and put me at ease having to leave. I will definitely rebook with her again, and recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their fur babies!

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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,679 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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
