About: Lover of all things living I care for animals big and small. Having 10+ years experience with dog training, dog shows, and growing up in the 4H club I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to animals. I’ve had goats, a pony, dogs, cats, frogs, snakes (currently one snake, a ball python. I grew up fostering dogs and in the rescue community, I treat any baby like my own. I currently work weekend mornings only so I have all week and evenings to care for and play with your pets! Most of my mornings are spent outside with my dogs anyways! I can do feedings, water changes, taking your dog out on a walk or just out to the yard. If your dog needs someone strong to play with I love tug of war with big dogs. If your pet needs someone quiet and calm I can bring a soothing presence. Exotic animals I monitor heat lamps, food, activity, change water and clean bedding
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 and can accommodate most schedules. 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.
“Jackie is the sweetest and my very unsocialized pups just adored her! I appreciate her playing with them and snuggling them and treating them like they are her own. 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was my first time leaving my babies and I was so nervous! Ashley did an incredible job!! She sent pictures and updates twice a day so I never had to worry. I was completely at ease while on vacation and my pets had so much fun while I was gone. I will ONLY be using Ashley in the future. She went above and beyond.”
“After going out of town and our original pet walker bailing on us late at night, Taylor replied to my almost midnight plea to help walk Tank. It wasn't more than 20 mins after my initial plea that I had a picture of my fur baby! Taylor is honestly amazing and is now my go to pet nanny! Thank you again Taylor?”

I strive to respond to all inquiries, both from current and prospective clients, within 30 minutes during my hours of availability, which are from 7 A.M. to 9 P.M. About Me My name is Sam, and I am 28 years old, residing in downtown Kannapolis, NC. I have been a professional sitter since I was 16 years old, and this is my first experience with Rover. Previously, I established a loyal client base in Boston, where I cherished my time with both the dogs and their owners. Now that I’ve moved to Kannapolis for work, I am excited to reopen my services and welcome new clients in the area. Services Offered While I am not a certified dog trainer, I enjoy assisting my clients with their puppies—regardless of age—in reinforcing their training according to the preferences of their owners. This can include crate training, managing leash pulling, general obedience, and much more. I recognize that as a pet parent, you have the best understanding of your pup's needs and home environment, so please feel free to include any special requests when booking my services. Experience with Special Needs Dogs I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and those with disabilities. I am capable of administering medications, including pills, liquids, and injections, as needed, and I am trained in first aid to handle emergencies effectively. I am a teacher and have ample time to spend with your dogs! I can provide boarding services on weekends and on weekdays after 3 PM. I have a dog park in my apartment complex, and one dog to keep your furry friend company! I do ask for you to bring your dog here once prior to boarding to make sure it can feel comfortable with you present
About: I always hear people talk about the love of their pet. I understand how that feels since I now have a fur baby of my own. I work from home for the most part; therefore, I have the ability to give your fur baby the attention and care that they deserve. Pet love is the purest form of love. I have a fenced in big back yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I also have a cozy and clean indoor space where your baby can rest and feel at home.
About: While you’re away, I’ll treat your pups like family! From epic playtime to cozy snuggles, I ensure they’re safe, loved, and having the absolute best time. I work in a hospital setting so my schedule is very inconsistent! I will only accept bookings when I am not going to work! But still I am very excited to meet your little friends! I live in an apartment, and have 1 very friendly French bulldog (she is very old and sassy, but still very kind 🤍). Please be at ease your fur baby will get all the exercise and love they deserve! I will make sure to give them my best while you’re away!
“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.”
“Norma was great. We enjoyed getting to meet with her beforehand and to go over the feeding and litter box questions in person vs over the app. She was communicating with us about our cats regularly and we had no worries about their care.”
“My dogs LOVE Kristina! She has a way with them. The peace of mind we get knowing our pups are being taken care of by someone who loves them almost as much as we do is priceless!”

About: Growing up on a farm I’ve learned how to care for many animals including cats and dogs I have always done everything in my power to make sure my pets are as happy and comfortable as possible and I promise to do the same with your pets Every morning I wake up around 7-8 am to feed my cat, 2 dogs, and 3 lizards, if I am home and able I spend most of my day playing with my cat and my dogs and then I watch my dogs play in their lot until they are ready to come inside, at night I scoop my litter box and give my cat, and dogs a little extra food if their bowl is empty then I snuggle up in bed with my cat next to me and my oldest dog at the foot of the bed and fall asleep Depending on the day and how needed it is I will bathe my dogs and trim my oldest dogs nails my younger dog walks on pavement more and she files her nails down that way, then I clean my lizards enclosure so they don’t get sick.
About: I’m a very caring and patient person, and I treat pets like they’re part of the family. I’m dependable, attentive, and good at paying attention to their individual needs and routines. I love being active, going on walks, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and giving pets the love, and attention they need. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I follow their normal routine, provide food and water, take them for walks, give them attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
About: I've taken care of pets all my life. I now am the proud owner of 3 dogs and 2 cats with my husband. Each of our pets is unique and I strive to care for each one of them individually. This is my goal for your pets as well! I am a teacher who is currently on summer break so will currently be able to provide the best care I can as I have free time. Although I cannot ensure 24 hour care as I will likely need to check on my own pets or go to work during the school year, I can ensure that pet care routines and instructions will be followed. When I enter a clients home, I do so with respect. My goal is to care for pets in their own environment in a way that is comforting and reliable. I want to ensure that your home is the same if not better than how I found it.

I cannot say enough great things about Susan! She went above and beyond my expectations. She didn’t just stop by to walk and feed my dog; she genuinely spent quality time with him, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him so much attention and care. I have a Beagle who struggles with pretty severe separation anxiety, so leaving him for four days while we went on a road trip was something I was a little nervous about. But when we walked through the door after being away for four days, he was so calm and relaxed! That alone told me how well Susan cared for him and how comfortable he felt while we were gone. It means so much to know your fur baby isn’t just being looked after but genuinely loved and cared for while you’re away. Susan exceeded every expectation, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving to care for their pet. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾
Emily was absolutely AMAZING!! I’m hesitant to let anyone watch my cats, but I had an emergency and she quickly responded to my request. My cats adored her (even my “moody” rescue cat!!) and she was very punctual. I cannot thank her enough for the level of care she has shown.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kannapolis is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 4,760 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kannapolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
