“Cait took such good care of Barley. He loves playtime with her. She takes him out to potty frequently which is so helpful with his training. I highly recommend her services.”
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.
“Left extremely thorough notes and took great pictures! One of my dogs was ill while I was away and Amanda treated him like one of her own. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt ok”
“Fantastic. Theo and Lena had so much fun with Ashley while I was gone. I felt as if I did not have to worry about them at all while I was away. This was my first time using Ashley and Rover and it was a great experience. Already rebooked Ashley for my next trip. Thank you.”
“I am particular who I leave my baby with, and was comfortable right away when Lyndsey came for the meet and greet, and Ripley loved her. I received pictures, and Ripley was very tired and happy when I returned home after the pet sitting visit. I will definitely request Lyndsey again, high recommend.”
“Chase did everything we asked and our dogs were well taken care of. I appreciated how gentle he was in response to our girly’s barking. He spent extra time with them the first night and communicated when he had schedule changes.”
“Kathy always comes in when I need her! Most of my requests are emergency last minute (only a few hours notice). And she always comes on time, gives them a little extra walking time and always gives them love!”
“Ronnie was wonderful in all ways. She was always on time, if not early. Communication was full of great info about her sessions with our dogs, and we got lots of photos and videos while we were away. From the moment we met her, our dogs clearly loved her.”
“Michelle always takes care of our kitty boys so well! We appreciate her communication and attentiveness. One of our boys takes meds and also needs a little extra patience to make sure his food/meds are eaten. She takes the time to sit with him and encourage him until he’s eaten most of it. Thanks, Michelle!”
“This is our second time using Brittany and it again was an amazing experience! She is by far the BEST you can hire! I had a last minute need and she responded within seconds of my request and worked with every little tweek I needed to make. I’m very type A and Brittany not only takes amazing care of my babies but of my house as well. If you have the chance to book her, don’t hesitate! She’s the best!”
“Got along instantly with my dog, paid attention to my instructions, and wrote very detailed play-by-plays of each drop-in visit. Will definitely be booking her again for future visits!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job and was super friendly to me and my pets! I left an extremely long note of instructions and tips, etc., and she followed them like an absolute pro. Thank you so much!”
“He accommodated his schedule to fit out pet’s needs. Kept communication and wrote daily updates on my pets! Plenty of pictures which I loved. I appreciate his knowledge and willingness to work with exotic animals! We appreciate you”
“Thank you so much Jessica for taking such great care of Peaches! Jessica went above and beyond to give Peaches the best care, she played with her outside fed her and took cute pictures. Peaches was so happy to be cared for by Jessica, will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I work alongside veterinarians in my career, which has given me hands on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Caring for animals is more than a job, it’s something I truly love. ***** PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE before you bring your pet make sure they get a bath and in presentable condition, they are coming to a house where they will get the best care possible and hygiene now if you want me to wash them I can also do that at extra $10******* I also enjoy pet photography and would be happy to take professional quality photos of your furry friend during their stay! I work Monday through Friday with my afternoons free to spend with your pet. Since I start work early boarding pets get outside for a potty break first thing each morning. I live alone in my own condo with plenty of safe outdoor space nearby for walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Your pet will enjoy a calm, comfortable environment with lots of one on one attention.

Caitlin did an amazing job with my 2 dogs!! She was so kind and paid attention to every detail. Always on time, great update reports to keep me informed, and going the extra mile to make them happy and comfortable. She is the best and I'm thankful to have her helping out often as I travel with work now!!
Hier is een enthousiaste 5-sterren review die perfect is voor Google of Facebook: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Annie is simply amazing! She is incredibly professional and has a natural gift for understanding cats. She knows exactly how to approach them, making even shy or nervous cats feel safe and comfortable. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. We have complete confidence in her and highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for exceptional, reliable, and loving cat care. Thank you, Annie!
We really appreciate Lydia's help. We can tell from the photos she provided of our dogs that they were well taken care of. Having someone look after our dogs on such a long vacation was a relief. Being able to keep them at our house was certainly a stress relief for them and us. They both get a little separation anxiety so not having to leave them at a boarding place was a great plus. Once again, the pictures showed that they enjoyed having Lydia there and the updates she gave us every day were a load off our minds. We would absolutely book Lydia again.
Amanda is absolutely amazing!! She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. I came home everything in perfect order. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring!
Chante is wonderful!! She took such excellent care of our cat while we were away and she was extremely communicative and kind. Our cat was prescribed 2x a day medications immediately before our trip, and Chante very generously accommodated us on very short notice when we asked if this was something she could do. It was a relief knowing our kitten was in such great hands! I would not hesitate to recommend Chante. She really went above and beyond for us and our cat adored her.
What can I say? Ashley K. is the greatest when it comes to taking care of my cats. I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because I knew that Theo and Lena were in good hands and I did not have to worry about their care. Thanks again Ashley, you are my go-to-person for my cat sitting. You're the best!
Alima has been such a blessing to my family. She went above and beyond in taking care of our cat Pebbles. I was out of the country for an extended period and she bought Pebbles food and litter with her own money. She took time to play with my cat, comfort her during the 7 week period I was away. She made sure the cat was happy throughout the period. Alima thank you so much. I can and will recommend Alima to anyone. In my view she's the best in the Concord/Kannapolis area.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kannapolis on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,819 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kannapolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kannapolis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kannapolis. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
