About: I am an experienced pet sitter with over five years of experience. My experience includes working with puppies, kittens, and senior fur babies. I am a retired nurse and have experience giving dogs their medicine. Moreover, I have experience with dealing with seizures, congestive heart failure and joint pain in fur babies which helps ensure safe care. Providing a safe, calm and loving environment is a priority while caring for your furbaby. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have time to provide one on one personal care for your fur baby. Would love the opportunity to do a meet and greet to review further availability. I have a fenced in yard for zoomies, fetch and reliving themselves. Our community has sidewalks for safe walking exercise too. I have two small dogs ( one senior & one puppy) and two senior cats to keep your Furbaby company. I have a crate if needed or gates if a need arises to ensure safety. However, your Furbaby will have free roam of the house if no safety concerns.
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!
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 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.

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.
“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!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes. I can provide house sitting, light housekeeping, and pet care including dog walking.

“Nicole was great! She did drop-in care for our three dogs very last minute. She was on time, gave updates & photos, & the pups seemed happy. I would book her again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“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 hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Emily and Deron were great! They were both super responsive and provided pictures and updates on both of my pups during the visit. My dogs loved them. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have always have a love for all animals especially dogs and cats. I can’t wait to show you that your babies will be in great hands with me. I’m currently working full time, but I don’t start work until 12pm so I will have plenty of time in the morning to play and tend to your babies and I am off at 830 pm, so can always go back end of day to check on them again if need be! I will take the instructions of what you would like in your home and what your babies are most comfortable with, to try not to switch up their routines much.
“Abigail is a superstar sitter. She’s very dependable and Apollo has become very comfortable with her. Whenever we are headed out of town and we need a sitter, Abigail is our first choice. Highly recommended.”
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.

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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
