About: I'm studying to become a zoologist and I love every kind of animal and I will care for any kind of pet you have not just cats and dogs. Monday-Saturday, 6:00am-11:00pm. I want pet sitting to be my full-time job. I used to work at PetSmart but I enjoy pet sitting more. 🐕🐈⬛🐇🦎🐁 🦜🐛🕷️🐌🦗 🦀🫏🐜🐟🐠 I would care for your pet(s) in your home. (So I might offer boarding later on). I can feed, give water, play with them, walk them, take them potty, change litter boxes, change cage linings, clean up after them if they poop in a cage, it depends on what kind of pet you have. I have experience with caring for many kinds of animals.
About: I bring 12 years of cat experience to the table, which means I understand everything from litter box politics to the fine art of being ignored. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all personalities, shy, spicy, clingy, or aloof, and I know how to keep their routine calm and predictable. I also have 5 years of experience helping with dogs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. Cats may be my specialty, but I’m happy to care for dogs and make sure they’re safe, exercised, and well looked after. What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience and attention to detail. I respect boundaries, follow instructions closely, and focus on making pets feel secure in their own space. I take pet care seriously, while still enjoying every minute of it. During weekdays, I’m available from 3:30 PM to 3:30 AM, allowing for evening and overnight care. On weekends and holidays, I’m available all day, offering flexible and reliable pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow care instructions closely, maintain a calm environment, respect routines, and provide attentive, reliable care in your home or mine.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all throughout my life whether they are young or old. I have also administered medications such as pills or shots for diabetes. I am currently a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I should be able to accommodate most schedules with enough notice. Currently, a 7 day a week availability. I care for pets in their own home ensuring the environment is safe for them to be in and making sure when taking walks are always safely tethered to a harness and leash to ensure others safety as well as the pet themselves. I will take any guidance or preference for care from the owners to ensure quality care is always provided to my clients.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. I work remotely and have plenty of love to share with your pet. I have experience taking care of large breeds and senior dogs with medical concerns. I'm currently working remotely and have the time and attention to dedicate to your pet's needs. I offer boarding and pet daycare at my home any day of the week. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. I've got comfy spots for them to relax. Plus I'm always here to give them time and attention.
About: I've had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! I've always grown up in a two-dog household and love being surrounded by dogs! I am a photographer and a coach! I have quite a bit of free time to spend with the pups. If it's not to hot outside, we like to spend our days on walks or in the park. We also love a good rainy day to watch movies and play with toys! Your dog will be treated as if they are one of our own! I have two loving dogs that are always down to play, and love a good cuddle session!
“Fabulous! Gus was so comfortable with Jessica from the start. Our neighbors even commented on how much Gus enjoyed his walks with her. I have already recommended her to friends.”
“Ryanne has helped us with two very long trips by watching my two cats twice a day. She’s always so quick to respond to requests and questions, very communicative and we really appreciate her help keeping our babies safe, happy and healthy!”
“We had such a great experience and were so impressed with the care our dog and cat received! They took our dog on lots of walks, made sure she was let out regularly, gave her medications, and gave both of our pets plenty of company, attention, and cuddles while we were away. They even sent incredible pictures throughout! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being so well cared for. We came home to happy pets and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely be using them again and would highly recommend them!”
“Ladies and gentleman, when I say that this you g lady is dependable, I mean “can you please drop everything because my baby hasn’t eaten in 5 hours” type of panic. She drop across town to stepped up to the plate which calmed my soul. Us pet parents are extra sensitive when we are out of town, she never complained or said no. Sweet and dependable and TRUSTWORTHY!!! Emphasis on TRUSTWORTHY! If you are looking for peace of mind, Jasmine is the right and only choice! I will be seeking her services again.”
“Katie did an amazing job watching our dogs. She stepped in with just a couple days notice to cover our thanksgiving travel plans, sent frequent updates and we returned to happy and healthy dogs. We will definitely use Katie again in the future.”
About: I have had the joy of pet sitting since I was a student in high school! I had clients within the community, friends, family, and even some of my own teachers. I have over 1,500 hours in animal/veterinary experience and worked with everything from cuddly kittens, dairy cows, and various species of birds! I am currently a full time student( soon to be on summer break). I am available for drop in's every 6-8 hours throughout the weekday. I am available for overnight stays everyday of the week! Walking hours are more readily available on the weekends. Because I have a furry friend of my own in would be in your pets best interest for me to watch them where they are already comfortable. I treat everyones pet with the upmost respect, love, and care because I know what it means to leave your pet in someone else's hands. I have an open communication work-style and do everything in the best interest of my client and their pet.
About: As a registered nurse, providing compassionate, attentive care comes naturally to me. I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and understand the importance of following routines and paying close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I'll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your pet like they're part of my own family. I'm comfortable administering oral medications if needed and am happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. While I'm continuing to grow my experience with Rover, I'm committed to earning your trust by providing reliable, loving care and giving your pet the same attention and respect I'd want someone to give my dog. I’m currently on a summer break. I’m able to care for your pet 7 days a week. I will adhere to your pets schedule and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special requests. In your home, I'll respect your space just as I would my own while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for pets in my home, they'll be welcomed into a clean, safe, and calm environment where they'll receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and opportunities to rest. I'll stick to their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel at home and comfortable throughout their stay. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own.
About: My wife and I have been the classic “they talk about their dog to much” people probably our whole lives. We’ve both cared for dogs for most of our lives but I’d say our real experience began when we nursed my soul dog, Chipper, through his senior years when he needed extra care. It deepened when we rescued our wild man Seamus together. He was a 2x re-homed pittie that we were told would never be able to be around other dogs or kids and he’s now our happiest, silliest, boy. Neither of us are pros, just your average dog people that know every pet deserves love. We know handing over your pet (and your home!) is a big deal, so we make effort to communicate constantly, and treat every dog like family. Also, if you’re out of town for a few days we’d be happy to take in mail/trash cans, water plants, or anything else that would help us take the best care of your home while you’re away. We are also happy to run or walk with your pups, even if they’re used to long distances! Whatever keeps tails wagging! Both Bre and I work from home so our schedules are very flexible. Between the two of us, we have availability any time of day for the most part and can often support last second drop in visits as needed. Seamus can still be a bit reactive, so we are only providing walking, drop-ins, and house sitting services at the moment since boarding stresses him out. We will make every effort to care for your pets and your home to the highest standard!
“Samantha did excellent! On top of it. She's detail oriented and wants to do a nice job. Stayed the full-time and didn't cut out early. Enjoyed playing with the cats during the extra time. Left the house clean. She really did great !”
About: I love everything about animals! When it comes to Cats and Dogs they are such great companions and I truly enjoy seeing an animal that is pleased and satisfied with my care, as well as their owners and I will do everything to make sure that happens, I have had professional experience working for a doggie daycare business. I of course am a pet owner myself and know what its like to have to trust someone else to take care of your beautiful pet. I very much value that trust and and take the time to learn different tricks and techniques to provide the best care possible for any type of dog or cat that I could possibly encounter on a day to day basis. I am sure that I can provide a valuable service to you. I work Part-Time, and I keep a flexible schedule so I will have no issue fitting any commitments into my calendar and I always maintain clear communication. Based on discussions with the client I will give as much attention to the animal as possible during service including playing with or without toys, walks, bathroom breaks, Feeding, Cuddles etc. based on the desire of the animal.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Knightdale
Charity was absolutely amazing! She is very responsive and helped us last minute in a pinch. The dogs loved her from her meet and greet. She was understanding of our concerns as protective pet parents and was very reassuring that the dogs would be very well cared for, and they were! We received videos and pictures every visit and by the time we came home from work, the dogs were wiped out from all the running and fetch. Seeing how happy they were in the videos made me so comfortable having Charity care for them. She even made sure to give our cat some attention! We will definitely be trusting Charity again when we need more care for our pets.
Don't let the lack of reviews deter you from booking with Sidney because she is the real deal (she is new to the area). She did a great job with our drop-in visit! She was dependable, caring, and very attentive to our pups. She followed all of our instructions, gave them plenty of attention, and kept us updated during the visit. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We would definitely have Sidney care for our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!
Once again Miesha was an excellent sitter for my dog and cat! She was prompt for each visit and gave each of my pets special attention, as well as sending me plenty of photos to look through while i was missing them on my trip. She had the most adorable report cards to track each day’s visits and this time she even took a Polaroid of each animal with a pumpkin toy for a little fall photoshoot! She is clearly very caring and attentive and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Luke was fantastic! We have 2 slightly higher-maintenance dogs that can make it hard to go on vacation without worrying. Luke made sure they were well taken care of, gave constant updates, and helped make sure we didn't have anything to worry about. The dogs were happy as could be in his care. Would highly recommend & would book again in a heartbeat.
Paul has watched my two dogs twice now. He is kind, reliable, and very communicative. I will absolutely keep booking him in the future. I work in veterinary medicine so I believe my standards are high for how my dogs are cared for and Paul has been amazing! My dogs love him and are so excited to see him when he comes to the house.
We are so thankful to have found Amy! We have a rescue pup who is very apprehensive and anxious of new people, and Amy’s calm yet knowledgeable demeanor made our pup warm up quicker than we have experienced before. We trusted Amy to watch all of our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats) and knew they were well cared for, which was such a relief!
This sitter is clearly detail oriented, and will take great care of your baby! I can tell she takes great pride in the care she gives! She immediately brought out her phone and began taking notes during our first meeting so that she could make sure that our upcoming overnight sit goes smoothly.

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.
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 Knightdale 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!
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.

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 .
