“Miesha is absolutely amazing. She came for a meet and greet and I knew right away she was a perfect fit. She takes such great care of my boys. She sends pictures and updates. She is fantastic with communication. Miesha was there during one of the HARDEST moments of my life. Gunther passed away while she was there. He had been battling cancer, he laid down and didn’t get back up. She called me right away and stayed with him until I got there. She is truly an angel that I am so happy to leave my boys with.”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! I needed help on short notice, and Whitney went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and to make sure that my cats were taken care of while I was away. We were able to communicate feeding plans, and she kept me updated on how my cats were doing on each drop-in. I would definitely work with her again or recommend her services.”
“Kristine is amazing! She's so loving to our kitties and treats them like her own. She takes great care of all of their needs and they have so much fun playing with her too. Highly recommend”
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.
“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!”
“Kymberlee was absolutely amazing! She was so so nice and listened to everything I had said about my cat. Her positive energy immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew she would be perfect for the job! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Stefanie went above and beyond for our pup. She was very attentive and gave us a lot of updates with pictures and videos. She even offered a play date with her dog, which my dog loved!! I was so happy knowing he was well taken care of. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Since I was in high school, I’ve taken care of my friends’ and family members’ pets, anywhere from a few days long to a few weeks. I just moved here, so I’m readily available! I don’t mind taking time out of my day or night to take care of a companion because I know how much they mean to us :) I will take care to keep your home clean and safe for your pet. Whatever schedule your pet is on I will happily follow! I love going for walks so some company would be lovely.
“Ayla was absolutely wonderful to my pets! She treated my senior dog with great care and gave the cats a ton of love. I loved peeking at the cameras when she visited to see my pets' excitement to her arrival. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a golden doodle of my own, and my parents have two labs, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve always helped care for family and friends’ dogs and genuinely enjoy giving them the love, attention, exercise, and the care they need! As a stay at home mom, my schedule is flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m able to offer daytime drop in visits, walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while you’re away. Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and will make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. Our yard in a quiet neighborhood is not fenced, but we can & will take as many leashed walks as needed. In the house, we have a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.
“Lindsey took SUCH great care of our boys! She sent lots of pics and was so kind during our meet and greet. We instantly felt comfortable with her and will definitely book again! Thank you Lindsey!”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 13 years old and then started working at an animal shelter in high school and loved it. I have experience with medication administration(including asthma treatments), reactive dogs, and dog training. I’m currently working full time as an EMT so I am available on my days off as well as after 7 pm when I get off work(I have a rotating schedule). I have two black cats at home named Jinx and Milo. I will make sure to take care of food, water, medication, and any other tasks needed to keep your babies happy. I also don’t mind grabbing the mail or taking in the trash.
“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!”
About: I am truly a dog lover (actually just an overall animal lover!) I have watched all my friends' dogs and have a lot of clients where I spend the night at their place. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I have no problem giving medication if need be. I will also send you pictures and updates on your pet. I am in an apartment but live on the lower floor and have a yard right outside my door. My complex also has a fenced-in dog park where I take the dogs daily. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and spoil them with love. I have no problem going to or spending the night with your pet if that is what you feel comfortable with.
“I really enjoyed working Marissa from beginning to end! She was very flexible with scheduling the pre-visit meet and greet with my dogs. They immediately took to her and she was very responsive to them. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and giving her access to my home while I was out of town for several days. She followed all instructions and asked good clarifying questions to best understand the needs of my dogs. Very consistent in her twice a day visits to the home and provided all necessary updates and pictures. Very accommodating for my special requests on each dog and their feeding, care, etc. Will definitely reach out to Marissa again with future needs, thank you Marissa!”

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!
Our kitties absolutely loved having Amaya look after them while we were out of town! We did too! They are usually pretty shy around strangers and can take some time to warm up but both kitties came out without any hesitation and enjoyed their playtime and hanging out. Amaya was very patient with my detailed information about the kitties and super respectful to the house. She was super communicative and gave me awesome updates with pics of both kitties. I felt super comfortable that both our fur babies were with someone very trustworthy who cares about animals while we are away. We will definitely be trying to book with Amaya again the next trip we are able to take.
Brian was incredible with our girls while we were out of town. We love that Brian is able to be our consistent dog walker while we are in the office and that he is also able to look after our kitties while we are out of town. They all absolutely adore Brian and we feel so secure knowing that they are in good hands while we are gone. Brian takes the time to make sure the girls get lots of love and attention while also giving us detailed updates and pictures to put our kinds at ease. We are so lucky to have Brian to rely on.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Knightdale is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,170 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Knightdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Knightdale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
