About: I have had animals all my life. I worked at Pet Smart and pet sat for multiple pet families. I want to make sure that you feel at peace while you are away that I am loving every paw, tail and whisker. I work full time but am available mornings before 8 and afternoons after 4. I am off on the weekends and some holidays. 1 day a week I have the day off. I am willing to come to your home to love and care for your pet. I can follow your specific pet needs. I am mobile and like to exercise.
“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.”
“These two are the best. We have had them stay at our house twice now, keeping track of our cat, and two dogs, and will always come back to them for any future needs. Our dogs need to be kept separate, and they handled it perfectly and took away any worries we had. Thanks again guys!”
“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!”

About: Walks, fetch, or cuddles, I’m your girl! I’ve grown up with German shepherds, mixed breeds, and two cats. I have experience with large/bully and small dog breeds. I started volunteering at Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary with my mom at 8 years old. I was an intern and a kennel manager on staff. I’m happy to pet sit, walk, play, vet runs, you name it! I work remote some Mondays, and majority of Fridays. If you need a weekend trip, or a vacation, I’m happy to help! My flexible schedule helps with longer weekend trips, walking in morning, and lunch breaks. I can also walk once I get off work. I work around the pets/family’s needs and plan ahead. I am willing to stay in your pets home so they can be comfortable in their own space. I can come to your house to let your pets out to walk, play, and use the bathroom. I have experience with pet clean up, so I can handle emergencies thrown my way!
About: I am a lover of cats and dogs. I've watched family pets in our home and they are always welcome on the couches! I am a pet cuddler and not afraid of a little fur or dirt either. I work the usual 8-5, and can check on your pet before and after work. I am available weekends as well if needed. No task is too small when it comes to our fur babies. I have no issues with taking your dog for long walks even if the weather is bad. And yes I can clean up "messes" if needed.
“Vanessa was awesome with our pup. We had to leave town last minute and she was incredibly accommodating. Our normally nervous dog warmed up to her right away. So glad to have found you, Vanessa!”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“The best ever! A fine gentleman who took wonderful care of Stella. He sent many pictures and videos. I can tell when Stella is happy, and she was happy in every one. A neighbor, who knows Stella well, approached me for the sole purpose of telling me what great care William gave Stella and how much time he spent outdoors playing with her. I think he was also hinting that William took better care of Strella than I do. William is the best without question and the first I will contact when I next go out of town. Will Quinn”
“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”
“Annaliese, Did an amazing job. She was extremely flexible and accommodating with the schedule changes. She kept Ava on her normal routine, and made the entire process stress-free. Ava was well cared for, and it was clear she received lots of attention and consistency. She was also very respectful of my apartment, which gave me added peace of mind while I was away. Thank you for being so dependable, thoughtful, and helpful—I truly appreciated it! Annaliese. I will definitely us Anneliese again. ☺️”
“Lanna has been nothing but the BEST dog sitter! She was always providing us with updates and pictures. She treated our dog like it was her own with love and cuddles and treats! She will be our number 1 sitter from now on! Thank you Lanna!”
“Wow! Heather is a wonderful person and pet sitter. I cannot remember the last time we left our pup and didn’t worry even for a minute how she was while we were gone. She took to Heather immediately! I so appreciated the notes on our pups daily habits and sweet pictures of her throughout our absence. We returned to a super clean home and a doggie that wasn’t stressed out at all! THANK you, Heather! You really saved us on a difficult and busy week and we really appreciated the help!”
“I was lucky enough to stumble upon Lindsay and am so grateful I did! Great communication, very professional. Did such a great job with my baby’s! Will use her again for sure!”
About: I am a self-professed animal lover and my care for animals started with our family dog, Kip, when I was just 8 years old. Since then I have cared for and walked neighbors, friends, family and colleagues pets. I love being outside and will ensure your pets are well looked after, walked and treated as one of the family. My schedule is currently very flexible so if you need care last minute please do get in contact. I have my own transport so can make my way to you swiftly. I typically work most weekdays and weekends if scheduled in advance (if appropriate). Simply, I will do what ever is necessary to make sure your pets is happy and well looked after. Whilst I do not offer overnight home boarding (I have two elderly hounds), should they ever need to come to my home I have a fenced in back yard. I am happy to abide by crate training if required and always have toys, a bed and training treats on hand, just in case. I ALWAYS bring water on my walks and plan my days to ensure we are not walking in the heat of the day. I am happy to walk early in the morning and later at night. I have used cool coats before so I am also happy to add this to my routine. I never try and rush a pet. Whether it is a nervous cat or young pup, I take my time, not jumping straight in. I try not to let them off the leash immediately so we can build trust and I do not rush them to be my friend.
About: I have been a pet lover, all of my life. Raised with dogs, horses, cows, and even pigs, I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. I recently became a grandnana to my first furgrand! My son surprised his fiancé with a puppy for Christmas and I actually had the privilege to fly and pick up our newest family addition and I got to keep him for three weeks! When I met his initial owner, she asked me if I was a flight nanny and I said proudly, “Nope. I am the grandnana!" I have a very flexible work environment and actually work 5 minutes from home. Because of the nature of my job, I have the ability to manage my schedule as necessary. I have a fenced in courtyard as well as an extremely pet-friendly neighborhood. We love our fur babies in our community! My home is open and easily accessible to all age ranges, from puppy to seniors. We love to snuggle around here so if your baby is a snuggler, all the better!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kannapolis
Aleah is amazing. My sweet boy was happy and healthy while I was out. Aleah sent a few pics throughout the week so I could see my sweet lab being taken care of. I appreciate the fact Aleah is communicative throughout my being out of town. Ozzy and I have found sour friend sitter when I am needed out of town and Ozzy could not have been happier!
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
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 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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kannapolis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kannapolis is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,627 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kannapolis. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
