“Jacqueline and Michael were great! They were available at the last minute and came over the same day to meet me and my cat. They showed up every day at the exact time I asked and they gave my cat lots of love and even helped when he knocked over the Furbo (:”
“Amy was a life saver when we went out of town to place a foster dog with our rescue and got unexpectedly delayed. I was stressed at the thought of the dogs not getting a break and it being a holiday weekend! She responded and visited our permanent fur babies to be sure they had a potty break, dinner, and the lights turned on for the evening until we could arrive later that night. It was Saturday just before Christmas Eve and she responded and quickly scheduled their visit! Amy has also been amazing with foster dogs in the past that we have had as well. We so appreciate Amy!”
“Laura is very passionate and excited to help care for my dog! She even helped with our cats which we appreciated so much. We would definitely recommend her to others and would be happy to work with her in the future!”
“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 grew up with both cats and dogs my entire childhood. Pet care was incorporated into my daily chores, 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.
“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!”
“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!”
“Mackenzie was amazing! She gave our pups some extra love and truly treated them like they were her own. She is very kind and makes an effort to go above and beyond! We were very grateful for her to watch our doggos. Will definitely book her again!!!”
About: Your pet deserves more than someone who simply stops by—they deserve someone who genuinely cares about their well-being. As a Registered Nurse, I’ve built my career around compassion, responsibility, attention to detail, and remaining calm under pressure, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll tailor every visit to their individual needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, and providing extra patience and care for anxious or timid pets. Communication is incredibly important to me. During every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates and plenty of photos so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is simple: to make your time away completely stress-free while ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, ensuring pets feel loved and cared for. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I follow feeding schedules, offer regular walks, playtime, and enrichment activities, and ensure they feel at ease. In clients’ homes, I respect their space while maintaining the pet’s routine, keeping them happy, active, and stress-free.
“Paul was very communicative and most importantly my dogs loved him! I had him check in on my 2 dogs for a week and he was very dependable and trustworthy and reached out if he had any questions/concerns. I felt like my dogs were in great hands!! Highly recommend him to other pet parents.”
“Kristine was absolutely great with my two cats! I loved all the photos and messages about them. Made me feel very confident that they were being well taken care of while I was away.”
“Nicole exceeded our expectations! She did a fantastic job at communicating and sent us great photos of our two dogs during our trip! Our dogs loved her and we felt very reassured leaving them in her care! She took service above and beyond. Will definitely use her again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“This was our second time using Bridgette to watch our one dog and cats while we were out of town for a few days. She did a great job taking care of them as instructed and provided great updates and pictures during each visit!”
About: I LOVE animals, in fact, I have 5 of my own ( 4 dogs (Casey, Mako, Leo, and Grace) and 1 cat (Cauge)). I trained Mako to be a PTSD service dog. I have had animals my ENTIRE life and am an active wife and mama. I love all animals but large dogs have a special place in my heart. So if you have a Big Baby, please give me a call!! Of course of you have a little baby I would be overjoyed to love on them as well!! I can’t wait to help you care for your babies while you are out at work so they stay healthy and engaged. Drop ins...I can feed, de-water (aka potty breaks) and play, if you are working on training I would love to work along with you on those skills as well. Please note that drop ins can be any type of animal not just cats or dogs (i.e. hamsters, bunnies, gerbils, lizards, ferrets, etc) Walks...Outside engagement, I like to teach good leash manners (no pulling, walking with me) and safety (sitting prior to crossing the street). Of course if we are feeling up for it and its not too HOT, a nice jog may just be on the horizon 😀 Dog Boarding… not offering in my home at this time, but happy to do drop ins while you are away. It there are other needs, please feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I have taken some time away from work and taking some focused time to care for my mother. Once I drop my son off at school in the morning and some scheduled Dr Appts for my mother, I have time to share with others and what better way than caring for their BABIES while they are away at work. Every family's needs are different. I fully respect my client's privacy while I am there to care for YOUR baby(ies). One thing that I am very conscience about is the WARMER weather coming. I always seek out shady areas for walks and if that is not available, I make sure we walk in the grass. Dog paws are very easily burned, and I make sure to care for them.
“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”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Knightdale is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knightdale
We had such a great experience with Kymberlee! She cared for our 2 cats while we were away for 9 days, and the daily report cards with lots of pictures gave us complete peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with the cats so they were very happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We’d absolutely book with Kymberlee again, and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring pet sitter!
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.
Kristine took wonderful care of our cat, Mack, while we were away on vacation. She showered our boy with lots of love and attention, which gave us great peace of mind while we were gone. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout our trip, making it easy to relax knowing Mack was in good hands. Based on our experience, we would absolutely book with Kristine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!
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.
I absolutely recommend Megan! She has watched our cat a couple times for us and has done a great job. My cat doesn’t like new people and needs her space, and Megan has been very understanding of that while still making sure she’s taken great care of.
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Knightdale on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,185 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Knightdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
