“Mackenzie was amazing! She gave our pups some extra love and truly treated them like they were her own. She is very kind and makes an effort to go above and beyond! We were very grateful for her to watch our doggos. Will definitely book her again!!!”
“Ayla goes above and beyond taking care of my peculiar dog and 2 cats! She’s thoughtful, sends pics and updates and also let me know my plants needed water. Highly recommend her for drop ins!”
“Paul was very communicative and most importantly my dogs loved him! I had him check in on my 2 dogs for a week and he was very dependable and trustworthy and reached out if he had any questions/concerns. I felt like my dogs were in great hands!! Highly recommend him to other pet parents.”
About: I have been working with dogs for over 9 years now. I also have 3 small dogs that make this life worth while! When I’m not dog sitting, I love to hop in the RV with my dogs and take amazing road trips! I have trained puppies as well. I’m currently working from home and can watch your pets at any time! I love to take frequent breaks to run outside with my dogs and would love to do the same for your pets!i I have a fenced backyard. I also follow directions. If a client tells me what is needed, then I will make sure to go above and beyond to meet those requested needs!
About: I'm a dog mom of a 2-years old Golden Retriever girl named Lani and spending time with her is truly the best. I also regularly volunteer at SPCA of Wake County as a "Dog Butler", where I spend time caring for and interacting with dogs with different personalities and needs. As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member and how difficult it can be to find that someone. I'm patient, attentive, reliable and I enjoy everything from long walks and playing time to cuddles and relaxing together. I'm comfortable following each dog's individual routine, including feeding, schedules, walks and special instructions from their owners. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy and well cared, while giving you as the owner peace of mind knowing your furbabies are in caring and loving hands. After relocating from Germany to Raleigh, I'm currently at home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm essentially a full-time dog-mom, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pup, doing drop-in visits and walks. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I currently provide care in the client's home, I make sure to follow your pets routine, house rules and any special instructions you provide. I always treat your home and your furry family member with care and respect. I want you to feel completely comfortable while you're away.
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my senior cat, James. She was very patient with him and responded quickly to any of my requests. She also sent lots of pictures and cute comments.”
About: I have been caring for pets for 20+ years, so I am very familiar with picking up pet waste, bathing, brushing, and feeding. I also understand pet body language well and watch for signs of fear, anxiety, and illness with how they move their ears, eyes, and tails. I'm pretty flexible! I do not work a full-time job at the moment (this will eventually change). Rover fits my schedule perfectly at present. I have a small golden doodle who is a ball of energy, so I understand very energetic dogs that get the zoomies! My goal is to provide the meals, bathroom breaks, and playtime, that your pets need while you’re away.
“Rodrigo is a caring animal owner himself. He shows much love for all animals. Rodrigo is very reliable and trust worthy. He has come into our lives at the most needed time. We have already rebooked him! Our rescue baby girl loves him! She is an American pitbull terrier who doesn’t like all, but Rodrigo stole her heart!”
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.
“Joei did great with Diesel! I would highly recommend her for check-ins and other sitter options as she went above and beyond my expectations. Diesel is extremely hyper but Joei was not intimidated and took him out on multiple walks which calms him down and wears him out. 😁 Thank you Joei for being patient and compassionate with my rambunctious pup.👍🏼😊”
“Great sitter! She worked with my dog who is super scared about everything. She is active and will take your dog on walks. She is good with alarms/other security tech. Would recommend!”
“Erin, thank you so much for caring for our pet family recently. Our furbabies are in the best hands with you! Thank you for loving them as much as we do. We'll call on you again soon! Take care!”
About: While i love my fur babies, i have had a range of experience with all things such as reptiles, farm animals, fish, bunnies and even a spider or two! 🕷️🦎🐓🦆🐄🐎🐢🐠🐈🐕🐇🦜 I work full time 4 days a week but can always drop in before/after my shifts & of course anytime during my weekend! While sometimes my wife is away sitting, I’m at home with our babies. 🐾 I really go all out for my fur babies (spoiled rotten)🫢🤗 So you can expect me to take the best care of your fur babies & treat them as they are my own.🖤
“Fang has been and continues to be a reliable and trusted sitter. I’ve had a handful of last minute needs and Fang has been clutch every time. Trust is golden when it comes to my animals plus giving access to my house when I’m not home! Thank you again Fang!”

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!
We use Nicole every time we go out of town. I cannot recommend her enough. She is extremely communicative, takes some of the best photos we have of our dogs, and is very conscientious of our home. Our dogs love her sometimes almost prefer her over us 🤣. Truly lucky to have her!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 .
