“This was the first time Chelsea took care of our two cats, and she did a fantastic job! She provided detailed updates and excellent photos. She also took the time needed to gently encourage our shy cat to leave his hiding place and gave both kitties plenty of attention.”
About: I’ve had experience with cats and dogs my whole life. My family has had various breeds of dogs from ragdoll, Pom, and weenie- to Rottweiler and German Shepard. I have experience with big and small dogs and have enjoyed them all. I’ve learned each pet like humans has their own individual needs, worries/ anxiety, etc. I have had just as much experience with cats of various personalities- and have loved each one of them. I can ensure your furry loved one will be in safe, loving, and thoughtful care! ♥️ I’m a mom and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always had a special bond with animals. My days are centered around creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. If care is provided on weekdays, it would likely involve my son being around as well since he is part of my daily routine. He is gentle, respectful, and loves animals just as much as I do. Any interactions with pets would always be supervised, and I would make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow their routines and give them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re away from their family. I know being in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I like to keep their routine as normal as possible by following their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any instructions you provide. Every pet has their own personality, and I want to take the time and effort to know what makes them feel happy and secure.
About: I’ve lived in a home with dogs for my entire life. The last 13 I’ve had the privilege of caring for my own fur-babies. I lost my oldest in 2023 and I understand how our animals become family. I also empathize with senior animals who may need more attention and have to follow specific diet and medication schedules. Our animals deserve the best care; what’s the saying? Who really saves who? I currently work full time near the airport in Greensboro and am available for house sitting including overnight stays, lunch time potty breaks, after 5-6pm care during the week, and weekends. I unfortunately live in a rental that does not allow extra pets. I’m available to come to your home and into your pets space to make them feel comfortable and cared for when needed— following any instructions and set routines in place.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Family, friends and neighbors have entrusted me to come into their homes to feed, let out, clean up and give lots of attention and love to their pets. I am a teacher’s assistant at an elementary school, so I’m available early mornings and anytime after 3:30 during the week. I’m also available on weekends and during the summertime. I’m currently unable to take pets in my home as I have my own sweet Labrador Retriever and Australian Labradoodle and an adorable cat, but I’m available to travel to your residence to take excellent care of your pets.
“Ashley did a fabulous job. She committed to the schedule, was on time each visit. Spent quality time with our baby, took photos and gave us a brief update of each visit. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She treated Bogey as though he belonged to her, gave him lots of cuddles.”
“Abby was great! She responded to my initial request within 24 hours, stopped by to meet our cat, Oscar, before the actual booking. She was kind and Oscar liked her almost immediately which eased my mind on leaving for a few days.”
“Emlee was very prompt and communicated with me regularly. She did everything that I asked and kept my kitty happy. I’ll definitely contact her every time I’m going out of town!!”
About: As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! With 5 years of pet care experience and firsthand experience caring for both dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. I have experience caring for my own Miniature Schnauzer and multiple cats, so I’m familiar with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own and provide regular updates and pictures so you always know they’re in good hands! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m used to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they deserve. My work schedule offers flexibility, and I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is and will always communicate clearly about my availability! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own pets. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications when appropriate, and any special routines. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep their environment clean, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll send regular pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Angie did an amazing job taking care of all 4 of our cats and making sure each one got the attention they wanted! Everything was in great condition when we got home and the cats seemed really happy!”
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
About: I have extensive pet care experience, providing reliable pet-sitting services for dogs, cats, and small animals. I ensure each pet receives proper feeding, exercise, and medication while maintaining a safe environment. I prioritize communication with owners, offering regular updates to keep them informed about their pets’ well-being. My passion for animals drives me to deliver the highest level of care. I am available all week and have a flexible schedule because I work full-time from home. This allows me to provide full-time care, attention, and supervision for your pets throughout the day. I’m able to spend quality time with them, keep them company, follow their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We live on 12 acres providing space for your pups to run and be active! We also have a Safe and Cozy home , We can provide toys, crates and anything needed to make them feel at home 💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I want every pet to feel like they are in a safe, calm, and loving environment while they are in my care. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and supervision while following their normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to create a comfortable space where pets feel secure, cared for, and treated like family. I always want both pets and owners to feel confident and at ease knowing they are in good hands.
“Ashley took amazing care of my dog, Noah. He has special needs and is completely blind, and she was so willing to help out last minute. That meant so much to me. I could tell Noah felt really loved and comfortable—he was so happy when I got home. I absolutely trust and highly recommend her!”
“Ceymone was great and I’ll definitely book with her again! She fed my cat while I was out of town and I got updates and pictures with every visit. She was friendly upon meeting and gave me peace of mind while being away!”
About: I love cats and dogs, and have had cats most of my adult life. I believe animals are truly family members and should be treated with gentleness and respecting their nature. I have no problem following detailed instructions, and every visit I take pics to show you your fur baby is being well cared for! I am free most mornings before 8:30am and in the evenings after 6pm. On weekends I have more flexibility in my schedule. I’ll be happy to work with you on whatever your scheduling needs are! If a client discusses a list of instructions, I’ll do my best to follow them to the letter. Otherwise, I’ll follow what to me is ideal care for an animal: ensuring they have clean and fresh water, proper food, cleaning litter boxes or taking a dog out for a walk as needed, and spending a little time cuddling and playing (respecting how shy they might be!). If a pet is too shy to play, sometimes I’ll just spend a few minutes sitting on the floor and talking to them in a soothing voice so they can get used to my presence as someone who is friendly. If approved beforehand, I can even bring (or use your own) a few treats! I may also reach out to you if I see something that I think needs addressing (not enough food or litter, a pet seeming lethargic or coughing excessively etc.). If that happens, I’ll discuss with you how you want to handle it. In case of illness, I take my own cats to Wentworth Animal Hospital so, for example, if I saw your cat seemed to be vomiting excessively, if you approved it I would have no problem taking them in for a walk-in and working out the payment and a reasonable rate with you over the phone. The most important thing is to ensure that your fur baby is given the best care possible. :-)
About: I've owned, trained, been around, worked with animals for over 25 years. I would absolutely love to help love on and care for your pet! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule that I manage myself. I am often found walking the neighborhood while listening to a podcast! I have a secure fenced in back yard and also have an XL dog kennel as well as a Small size kennel available, if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kernersville
Emily did a wonderful job with our senior dogs while we were out of town for a few days. She was punctual, friendly, asked questions when things needed clarification, and kept us very informed about our dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Emily for our pets' future needs.
Tricia was prompt and timely for all her visits. She provided ample updates and noted she had no issues with our pup! She even grabbed some packages that arrived in our absence. Chester is big and can get very anxious and overexcited with new friends. We were happy to come home to a happy and regulated pup! Would definitely book with her again :)
We had such a wonderful experience with Maria watching our cat! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. She spent lots of quality time with her and sent us frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving to care for their pet. We would definitely book with her again!
Jill did an amazing job looking after my two kitties! She was on-time, followed instructions, and sent updates with pictures from each visit. She played with them and it was evident from the photos how comfortable they were with her. She provided the peace of mind I need to enjoy a weekend away. Will definitely be booking Jill again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kernersville is $22 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 1,558 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kernersville. 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 Kernersville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
