“Absolutely phenomenal with our rottie. She was so excited to meet him and it’s evident she’s an animal person because he loves her right back! Laura is our go-to dog caretaker. 🩵”
“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!”
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.
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have had the opportunity to work with all types of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, and dogs with a wide range of personalities and individual needs. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s unique routine and temperament. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while ensuring that every dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Over the years, customers have greatly enjoyed my services and appreciated my friendly, caring, and likable personality. I have built positive relationships with both dogs and their owners, earning trust through reliable care and genuine compassion for animals. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I work full time but dont work a typical 9-5 so Im very flexible and able to work around most schedules. And rarely take vacations so weekends are typically open. I have a great dane who wants to be freinds with anything with 4 legs and definitely two legs. Hes not territorial or aggressive. So keeping your pet here would be a fun time for everyone. Back yard is not fenced so your dog would always be on a leash. But we would go for walks pending your approval as I live in a perfect neighborhood for walking.
“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!”
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.
“Suzie spent so much time with our kitties and made sure they were entertained rather than just fed and litter scooped. The updates were thorough and timely. The best sitter we’ve used to date and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Lindsey was fantastic! She took such great care of my kitties. They hardly ever come out for anyone when I’m not home but they all came out to visit and play with her. She kept me updated and sent great pictures all along the way. Thanks so much, Lindsey! 🩵”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Nicole is for sure our go-to sitter. Great communication and very reliable. Such a relief to be able to have confidence in our fur baby being well loved and cared for when we travel.”
“Ashley was very professional prior to her visits with Percy. She asked questions that showed she cared about the comfort of my pet. During her visits she made sure to send me photos and Percy seemed to love having her stay with him for awhile. I have enjoyed knowing that he was well loved and taken care for while I was away.”
“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.”
About: Being raised on a local farm, animals and pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have experience caring for puppies and dogs of all ages and would love to look after your furry friends. I am retired and have an open and flexible schedule! I am available all times of day to provide walks, in-home care, and other needs your pet might have. I can provide care in your home so that your pets remain in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to accompany your dog through their usual routine!
“Kristine went above and beyond to make sure our animals were well taken care of and that we could relax and not worry on our vacation. She even noticed our chicken coop was broken, and then repaired it herself so they birds wouldn’t get out. She took care of everything as if it was her own home and own pets. She loved on our cat and took great care of the cat and our chickens. We could not be happier to find Kristine as our petsitter.”
“Bayleigh was an amazing sitter. She gave us detailed updates on our cats every morning and evening and took care of them like they were her own. We cannot recommend Bayleigh highly enough!”

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.
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.

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 .

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.

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.
