About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13. I’ve always loved our sweet fur babies that my parents would bring home. Animals truly are family and I’d love to ensure that you can rest easy with your animals in my care. The pets I’ve taken care of have ranged from as small as bunnies and lizards all the way up to huskies! The weekend is a perfect time for me to take care of animals. My free time could be helping someone’s schedule who may not be able to handle their fur child at the moment. I take care of pets in other people’s homes by making sure to thoroughly follow any instructions that may have been left for me as well as keeping communication with the owner so they can stay updated with everything that is going on. Communication is very important and I would want to make certain that the owner will feel at ease with their pet in my care.
“Kristine was wonderful. She made friends with our notoriously shy cat, Turbo. In addition to feeding Turbo, she stayed awhile to play. She also cleaned the litter boxes, watered our plants and brought in the mail. She's the best!”
“Caroline is very prompt and communicative, she saved me last minute and cared for my dog. She is very reliable and i will trust her for future stays with my fur baby.”
“I have a special needs dog and now a sick dog and she was incredible with both. My sick dog would eat for her but not me! She is caring, attentive and all that anyone could need. Thank you Alyssa very much”
“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!”
“Amazing as always. My pups love her and I never need to worry about anything at all. She went above and beyond as always by cleaning up the remnants of another stuffed toy. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have over three years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walks and feeding to playtime and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which lets me give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m especially available on weekends and can easily help with longer stays, walks, or drop-in visits when needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I stick closely to your instructions—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk preferences, or any special care needs. I also make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for, keeping their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes so your dog can stay in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to give them a positive, comfortable experience. I’m a full-time student at UNC, which gives me a relatively flexible schedule during the week. I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine and give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. I’m especially open and available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate longer stays, walks, or drop-in visits as needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owners’ instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk preferences, and any special care needs. I always supervise interactions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure dogs feel calm and comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat every dog with patience, respect, and the same level of care I would expect for my own.
About: Experienced pet sitter with a customer service mindset. Having worked in an emergency Veterinary Hospital here in Utah, a Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Colorado and on a sheep farm as well, where I trained dogs for sheep herding races. Although I no longer have pets of my own I still love spending time with and interacting with animals. I understand that each animal has its own personality, whether they are extremely excited or like to be left alone and in their own space, I can easily adapt. I consider myself to be very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I am comfortable administering medication, as needed, taking animals to veterinary appointments, bathing, walking and cleaning up after animals. Can't wait to meet your and all your awesome animals!
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.
“Amanda is fantastic with our cats and very meticulous about communicating with us. She played with them and gave us regular reports as well! I would highly recommend her.”
“Taylor was very kind and made sure all of our cats were well taken care of. We appreciate her promptness and coming to our house before booking for a meet greet.”
About: I’m Dom, a new, but reliable pet sitter! I’ve casually looked after pets before, but I am now looking to gain more experience. I am more knowledgeable about cats, and prefer to sit them, but I love dogs too! I am passionate about everything I do, and am always willing to go above and beyond. I look forward to hearing from you. I have two dogs of my own who are around 3 years olds, and I’ve done drop ins and dog walks before. I currently work casually and take online classes at college, meaning that I have plenty of time to play and hangout with your fur babies! I like to receive specific instructions, and I base of my care off that and breed knowledge. I am very good at following instructions and asking clarifying questions if there is any doubt.
About: I have had dogs since I was 12 years old. I have helped friends and family take care of theirs as well. I will be patient and calm to all your your furry family members needs. I do work full time at home. I am near the pet at all times and welcome to extra text, videos and pictures as needed. I am in a house. I have a fenced in backyard if they need to run around. I also keep the pets inside unless requested.
“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.”

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.

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.

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.
