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.
About: As a work-from-home professional, I can keep your fur baby company all day long, and check in multiple times a day. Does your energetic herding dog need twice-daily walks or visits to the dog park? No problem -- they're just like the Australian Shepherd I grew up with and the Rough Collie I petsit regularly. I am also an ardent cat lover with experience caring for my aging childhood cat (age 20+), as well as a skittish rescue with seasonal allergies. If you have a senior cat who needs extra care or shy kitten who needs daily medication, I'm the petsitter for you. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accomodate boarding every day of the week. I'm also available for daycare across Raleigh, although I may have more limited availability on Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. Feel free to ask about my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a small, fenced-in patio and my one cat. She is typically kept in a separate part of the house during boarding, so I can accommodate animals who are reactive to cats. The yard is great for smaller dogs who enjoy being outside, but I can also care for larger animals who need lots of exercise!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child. I've pet sitted for friends, family, and neighbors. I don't have any pets of our own to love, so sweet faces and wet noses are greatly appreciated. I work full time but my weekly hours are flexible and I'm able to work some from home. We have no pets so your pets will have all of our attention. We have plenty of yard space with lots of trees for sniffing, a large closed in private deck, and 2 walkable parks in our neighborhood.
About: Animals are truly my biggest passion! Having both a dog and a cat at home, I treat every pet I sit for like family. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for about five years now, which taught me how to keep pets happy and comfortable in their routines. Volunteering at the Wake County Animal Center gave me great experience reading different behaviors, and my professional childcare background ensures I am highly reliable and safe. I can't wait to give your pet all the love, long walks, or quiet snuggle time they need! I currently work as a nanny, but my summer schedule is wide open with tons of weeks off while the family travels, giving me full availability right now! I have so much time to step away and completely spoil your furry friends. I'm also super active and love hitting the gym, so getting outside for daily walks and hitting my step count is a huge priority for me. Walking your pup fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I’ll make sure they get all the exercise, fresh air, and attention they deserve! When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and respect for your space. Because I am a professional nanny, keeping a tight eye on safety and sticking to precise schedules is second nature to me. I make sure to strictly follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications so your pets feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. During walks, I am always highly alert to our surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash and completely avoiding interactions with unknown animals. At the end of every visit, I double-check that doors are locked, security systems are set, and your home is left exactly how you left it. You will get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing both your pet and your home are in great hands!
“Rodrigo was able to come do a drop-in for me very last-minute. He was very responsive, prompt, and punctual and I really appreciated his help! My dogs were happy upon my return and it was such a relief. Would definitely hire again.”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, and cats for 4 years now. I love and care for each animal as if they are my own because I know how important a pet is to their family. I also respect all the rules given by their owners and make sure I’m following exact instructions. I also volunteered on a farm for a while as a young child and grew up taking care of my family’s chickens so animal care is something that has always been a part of my life. I am just graduated from school and getting my priorities straight so I have a very flexible schedule. When I’m working other jobs, they’re in the evenings and in my control as for scheduling and time so if there are specific needs for your pets around certain times, I can accommodate. I pet sit and homes and follow all rules that are given for me. I treat your space and your pets space with full respect and make sure I take care of it even better than my own space.

About: I have a lifetime of dog care experience, including 3 years of professional daycare work and experience giving medications. I have two Mastiffs, and I’m easygoing, caring, and love spending time with dogs! I’m currently not working so I have lots of time to get to know your fur babies! I’m very gentle, and playful with pets that are comfortable. I have two very large dogs of my own, a Mastiff and a Rottweiler/Mastiff mix! I grew up caring for older, sick, and slower dogs, which taught me to be patient and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Knightdale is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Knightdale
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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
