“Kristyn does a great job with my senior dog and has been able to help with some last minute requests. She's always been on time and always sends great updates! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Phinette! Growing up, I have always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I had three small dogs who I am so grateful I got to grow up with until they were in their late teens. My family rescued our current pit bull mix, Oakley, 6 years ago, who is now reaching his elderly years, as well as six cats! I truly love seeing the different personalities in each animal and finding out what makes them unique. I am great with high energy dogs including puppies, love being active, so I would love to help get their energy out with walks/runs! I am currently a Physical Therapist Assistant student and attend school Monday–Thursday, typically from 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. My availability will change throughout October and November, so I’ve outlined my schedule below to make it easier to see when and where I’m available! **House Sitting** **Through October 7:** I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting, especially toward the Chapel Hill/Pittsboro area since I commute there for school. **October 8–26:** I’ll have open availability and can travel to a wider area for house sitting. **October 27–November 20:** I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area from approximately 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so I’ll primarily be looking for house sitting opportunities closer to Angier/Lillington. However, I’m happy to travel farther for longer stays! **After November 20:** I’ll have open availability throughout December and the holidays. **Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits** **Through October 7:** Available Friday–Sunday all day, as well as evenings Monday–Thursday. **October 8–26:** Open availability every day! **October 27–November 20:** Available Monday–Friday in the evenings and Saturday–Sunday all day. I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area during the weekdays, so weekday requests closer to Angier/Lillington are preferred. **After November 20:** Open availability throughout December and the holidays! I know how scary it can be to have someone you don’t know stay in your home and care for your pet. That’s why it’s really important to me to build a relationship and trust with my clients, so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is in your home. I’ll make sure your pet and your home are in the best care possible while you’re away, and I have a feeling your pet and I will become best friends by the time you get back! I absolutely love sending pictures and updates, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re gone! If you’re someone who doesn’t need as many updates, that’s completely fine too. I’m happy to send them as often or as little as you’d like. I also make sure to check my phone regularly while house sitting, so you’ll always be able to reach me if you need anything. I’m someone who actually loves detailed instructions because they help me make sure I’m doing everything exactly how your pet is used to. I want to keep their normal routine as much as possible while you’re away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so you may come home to your house looking a little cleaner than when you left it!
“Came home to happy and healthy cat! She stopped by everyday to care for my cat Ozzy and took pictures every time! Very attentive and gave me updates on him through my whole trip!”
“We are so grateful for the incredible care our girl Oakley received from Lauren! She got plenty of walks, lots of time outside in the sunshine, and all the love and attention she could want. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely book Lauren again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover but Sydnee was great and exceeded my expectations! Her visit updates were so detailed and made me feel less anxious and nervous about leaving my pups. She even asked for tips about the dogs to make them feel more comfortable too. All in all, it was an awesome experience and will definitely be using Sydnee again in the future! :)”
“Jannan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Callie. Callie warmed up to her right away and it seemed like she really enjoyed her company. I would recommend Jannan to anyone looking for a kind and caring pet sitter! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs almost all of my life. The only time I didn’t have a pet was when I first moved away from home, but I got my wonderful dog, Poppy, as soon as possible. Followed by our gentle Snoopy and now Kevin Bacon the cat. I look forward to making your pet feel loved and cared for however long they need it!! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I work remotely from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I do have a toddler at home but can coordinate care or bring him along when possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for walks or drop in visits. I’ll treat your home like my own and make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible.
“Our dogs love Kaitlin. We rebooked drop in visits with her after seeing how comfortable our dogs were around her and the wonderful care and attention she provided to them. She also went out of her way to bring some packages that were delivered to our house inside to keep them from getting rained on. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“Loren was an amazing pet sitter. She was incredibly communicative, loving, and caring with my dogs. Always punctual, attentive, and truly impossible to improve on. She was consistently willing to help, very service-oriented, and made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again with my pets.”
“Kayley was wonderful and took great care of our baby. She sent us pictures with updates several times a day and I could tell our girl was very happy. This was our first time using Rover and Kayley and I will definitely be using them again!”
“David went above and beyond to put our minds at ease about the care of our cats, and of our home, while we were away. He’s a great communicator who kept us in the loop about when he was able to visit, how the cats were doing, and anything else that needed to be brought to our attention. Would gladly hire again!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was 15, providing reliable pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive, loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time, but I am available after work on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I have a flexible schedule during those times and can provide consistent, attentive care to meet your pet’s needs. I genuinely enjoy helping pet owners, especially through drop-in visits while they are away on vacation or need an extra hand. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“David and Johanna did a wonderful job with our cats. I know the cats were well cared for seemed very happy when we returned. They also brought in delivered packages which was very helpful. We will definitely rebook! Thank you!”
“Maria was amazing with my cats and they felt really comfortable around her. She came over for a meet-and-greet and was very understanding when I had a page of instructions for her. She even asked if she could bring a cat toy to play with them. She sent tons of pictures and kept me informed while I was away. If I could give her a 6 star review, I would. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Audrey did a wonderful job checking in on our dog and 2 cats while we were away. We got report cards with pictures for every visit and she kept us updated on any concerns that arose. We would be happy to book her services again in the future!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met, she was so sweet and welcoming to Jalapeno. Throughout the stay, she sent daily pictures and updates that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Jalapeno was very well cared for and happy. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kennebec
Kristyn did a great job taking care of Ginger! She kindly accepted my last-minute request the day before I needed her, which I really appreciated. She made sure Ginger was fed and got a nice walk. I was especially impressed that she was able to walk Ginger while pushing a stroller. I’m grateful for her help and would happily recommend her to other pet owners!
Holly is fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, Atlas, while doing a drop-in visit with him. She gave me really thorough feedback as to how he was doing and how their walk went. She is so kind and Atlas absolutely loves her! We can't wait to have her check in on him again soon! :)
We had a wonderful experience! They stopped by to care for our pets during dinner, took Rodger on a nice walk, and gave our kitties plenty of love and snuggles. It was clear they genuinely cared about our animals and made sure everyone was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Knowing our pets were in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely be booking with them again!
Jennifer was amazing and such a huge help for us during a really unpredictable time while we were waiting for the arrival of our son. She was kind enough to stay on standby for drop-in visits with our dog, and the day we got admitted to the hospital she was incredibly easy to get ahold of, accommodating, and flexible. She sent us tons of updates and pictures which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was very clear our dog felt comfortable and happy with her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for her help and will absolutely be using her again in the future!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! we loved working with erica! we will be using her for every pet sitting need. she went above and beyond for us this holiday and we are so grateful. she sent so many pictures daily of my babies and updated me on how they were doing. she gave great detail every check in on what they were doing and how they played etc. she truly loved on my babies and it made me feel so much better knowing they were getting all the loves while i was away from them!
This is the first time I’ve booked pet sitting for my girls and I’m so lucky to have found Olivia. She went above and beyond! I appreciated her offer to come over ahead of booking so we could discuss Rory and Sookie’s care, and meeting her put me instantly at ease knowing my girls were gonna be in kind and responsible hands. On the day-of, Olivia kept me up to date of her arrival time, sent pictures of my girls, and provided a comprehensive recap of the visit. My sweet but skittish Rory even felt comfortable enough to sneak out of her hiding place to grab a few bites of food while Olivia was still around! Thank you so much, Olivia! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
