“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”
“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”
“Have worked with Marissa multiple times and she is always reliable and trustworthy! My dogs love her and trusted her immediately. Had to extend my travels an extra day and Marissa took care of us, no problem. Thanks Marissa, see ya' next time!”
“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!”
“Brian takes such great care of our sweet Blair. It is such a relief to vacation and know he is giving her lots of love. Truly a pleasure communicating with him throughout our time away and receiving his pictures and notes on how she is. I would highly recommend him.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been a proud pet owner and animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. My job allows me to have maximum flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available to help with walks, feeding, playtime in the park, baths, and whatever your pet needs to feel happy, healthy, and loved. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who may require patience, gentle handling, or medication. My goal is to give you peace of mind, to provide reliable, compassionate care and ultimately treat your furry family members as if they were my own. 🗓️ Scheduling: Because of my flexible work schedule, I have plenty of availability to assist you with your pets. Happy to coordinate with you to find times that best fit your routine and your pet’s needs. 🏠 Environment: I’m available to care for pets either in your home or mine, and I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific care plan to keep their routine consistent.
“Abby was so attentive to my pups! She gave them so much love and made sure they got lots of activity during her visits. She was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with plenty of family dogs which in turn created in me, a deep love and admiration for pets! I am a true dog lover. I have had my own dog for 3 years so I have a great understanding for how to treat a dog in the best way possible. I pride myself on staying up to date with health and safety precautions as well. I strive to give any dog in my care the best possible experience! Currently I work remotely full time. I do bathroom breaks in the morning before I log on to work, about 2-3 hours after breakfast, in the afternoon between 3-5, and then again after dinner. I usually will keep dogs separate during the day while I work so they can nap and not bother each other. Walks are separate as well so I can focus on keeping them entertained as opposed to dealing with walking multiple dogs on busy streets. Dogs will be fed separately also.
“So happy we found Caroline last minute for our old boy! She sent photos each drop in and communicated with his food/bathroom updates throughout the wknd. Look forward to having Caroline’s help again in the future!”
“First time using rover, Erin was amazing! She made sure I was kept updated with every little detail while I was away and took care of my cats as if they were her own. Super reliable, friendly, and incredibly understanding person. Thanks again Erin, you rock :)”
“Phyllis was phenomenal with our anxious little guy. He doesn't warm up to just anybody and she got him to start showing his loving self even in the meet and greet. While we were out for the weekend she stopped by as scheduled - except for one day when she decided to come a little early because it was going to thunderstorm and she wanted to make sure he had solid outside time. So thoughtful and professional! She gave us great pics of our pup having a great time and thoughtful notes on each interaction, including any changes to the plan like with the thunderstorm. It's such a relief to know Barbecue is in good hands while we are gone and Phyllis helped us feel that way from the first drop-in until the last. We definitely hope to work with her again and would highly recommend her for others!”
“Brooklynn took great care of my dog for her drop-in visit while we were out of town for the day. She is professional, on time, communicative and very nice! I would recommend Brooklynn to anyone I know looking for a reliable sitter and will reach out again in the future. Thanks Brooklynn!”

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Knightdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
To find sitters in Knightdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
