“If I could give Marci 10 stars I would! She went above and beyond when we were traveling OUT during the ice storm and returned during the snow storm. She braved the horrible weather and took excellent care of our dog and cat. With going through such a stressful time figuring out flight cancelations and delays it was such a relief that she made sure we knew our dog and cat were happy and safe and cared for. It made all the difference in the world, her thoughtfulness and kindness has gone above and beyond what was expected. She checked in regularly with pictures and we were able to enjoy our time away without one worry about our pets. We will continue to book with her! The. BEST. Dog sitter.”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! Frankie communicated with us consistently every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also did an excellent job walking all three of our dogs, a task we know from experience is no easy feat! When we returned home, we found three very calm and happy dogs. We appreciated her care and attention to our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and wonderful pet sitter.”
“Betty Anne is invaluable to us! She is fantastic!! Our pup loves her and so do we! I find it hard to leave our little crazy pup but I am so relieved to know Betty Anne is with him and has patience with his quirky antics. Thank you Betty Anne!!”
“Erin did a fantastic job taking care of my doggo as well as my place! She responded to a last-minute request and was super easy to communicate with. She must have taken exceptional care of and snuggled a lot with my dog - my doggo now demands cuddles all day long! :) Erin sent pictures, even picked up (unexpected) medicine from the vet. She kindly watered my plants as well. 10/10 recommend”
“Hayley did a great job with our two Bulldogs. They can definitely be high-maintenance, but she handled them very well. Overall, it was a great experience, and we were very happy with her care.”
“Mia is amazing! She sent daily updates and photos while we were on vacation, she was super flexible when last minute life things popped up, she was amazingly patient and respectful of my in-laws that live in our downstairs apartment, and I would 100% hire her again!!”
“I loved working with Bonnie. Her updates were frequent and thorough, and she delivered all the care and attention my boy needed during a weekend away. My home was in a very good state when I returned. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nikima did an amazing job while I was gone for 5 days. She sent a lot of pictures and activie reports through her stay with my pup. Bae loves her for sure. She was great about walking and feeding and giving him his meds. She even went above and beyond and swept the house and made sure everything was neat for my return. Looking forward to booking again for my next trip.”
“Samira is just amazing! My fur babies just love her, they even cried when she left. I did not have time to do my dishes before I left and when I came home they were all washed!”
“Chelsey was fantastic with my three dogs and cat. It was a holiday weekend and I was nervous about leaving my elderly dog for any length of time. Chelsey sent many pictures and regular updates. When we got home the house was perfect and all the babies were relaxed and happy.”
“Lisa did a great job with our pups. She sent messages, videos and pictures daily letting us know how they were doing. She is very responsive messages, always answering very quickly. Definitely recommend Lisa. Your dogs will be in great hands!”
“Kylee did a wonderful job caring for our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, on time, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We also really appreciated that she left our home clean and tidy when she left. It's always nice to come home to happy pets and a clean house! We would absolutely book with Kylee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was 6 years old. I love to walk dogs, throw balls, and pet cats and dogs. I can always work around your pets schedule. I’m available every day. I’ll treat your animal as my own. I love taking care of cats and dogs. Any needs or desires I’ll be more to accommodate those requests. I will let your dog/cat get comfortable first with a meet and greet with me or a trial with me so you can be comfortable with me being around your pet.
“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
“I am so glad that Kristen took care of our dog! She looked so happy, healthy and safe when we came home. Kristen shared some hilarious pictures of her with us during our travels. Kristen was able to understand the many sides of our labradoodle... If you know, you know!! Our home was well taken care of, and we'll entrust Kristen whenever we need someone to look after our fur-baby on future trips.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kernersville
Aubrey was fantastic!!! She took care of my German Shepard..sofie for 5days. I was so nervous about leaving her because I haven’t left her side for almost 6 years. Aubrey sent me pictures and she kept in touch everyday. She was so professional and loving and there is absolutely no way I would ever have anyone else be with my baby. She is like family now!!!
So amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my boy Blu with Gabrielle. ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was especially happy to hear that he was eating, playing, and going potty like normal because in the past, when I’ve left for a few days, he usually won’t do any of those things due to anxiety. It was so reassuring knowing he felt comfortable and well cared for with her. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter!
I was nervous to leave our dog with someone I didn’t know, but Skylar put me at ease from our first interaction. Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She took care of all his needs (including medication), communicated daily, and really went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

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 Kernersville 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 Kernersville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kernersville 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.
