About: I’ve been taking care of people’s pets since I was 15 starting with dogs and cats. I then took recreational dog training classes and have experience with complex medication regiments from keeping senior animals, including my first dog, who was 14 when she passed. My day job is working with horses so I’m game for any size animal you have not just restricted to cats and dogs. I live on a farm with horses, chickens and goats so I’m not afraid of a little hard work! I currently work part-time a morning and an evening shift at a place that’s very close to home so my commute time is very low and I can be somewhat flexible with my start times for each shift. My home is completely fenced in making it very safe for dogs to run free with supervision. I have two little dogs that enjoy the company of other small dogs and for larger dogs. It’s not a problem to keep them separate as we have many pet gates and extra room to keep your or my animals in crates as needed.
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job caring for my 3 dogs and home while we were away for a week. We are very thankful to enjoy our vacation without worrying about how the dogs were doing! Highly recommend..”
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was a child. Every animal I meet likes me quickly. I have a knack with them. Even when they don't like other people, I win them over. For the last 5 years I have been caring for my senior, diabetic, miniature poodle. That requires being vigilant about what and when he eats as well as giving him an insulin shot after each meal. I can take care of high-maintenance animals as well as easy-going pets. I'm currently working part-time from my home. I have plenty of time to spend with my furry friends. I am available during the day, or evenings. For the right client, I would be willing to stay in your home overnight. I walked dogs daily for 2 clients when I was living in Bangkok, Thailand. They trusted me with keys to their home so I could come and go during the day M-F. There was never a problem.

About: Hello there! My name is James, your pet’s friendly neighborhood Jedi 🐾 Whether your furry companion is more Ewok than Wookiee, I believe every pet deserves care, patience, and a little adventure. I approach pet sitting like a true Jedi: calm under pressure, attentive to details, and fully committed to keeping the galaxy (and your home) safe. From long walks that feel like epic missions to quiet cuddle time worthy of the Jedi Temple, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. Communication is my version of the Force — strong and reliable. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I take pride in being dependable, respectful of your home, and focused on making your pet feel comfortable and loved. So whether you’re heading off on your own adventure or just need backup from the Pet Care Alliance, I’m here. May the Paws Be With You — always. I just recently moved to Durham! I work for the Durham Bulls. During weekdays, I am available in the mornings and after 5. Weekends, I’m available all day. I am very flexible as well with times When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection during each visit. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to your pet’s personality and energy level. I also respect your home as if it were my own. I keep everything clean and secure, ensure doors and gates are properly locked, and provide regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for at home.
“Kathryn was wonderful! From her communication to her natural ability to bring a calm presence to my anxious pup, she was great from start to finish. She was communicative, flexible, and timely, and made both my dog and me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again!”
“We were so pleased with Mariaisabel. She took such great care of our senior pup, who needs a little extra TLC and attention. She provided great updates and we came home to a happy pup and a home that looked untouched. Would highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
“Francois stayed at our home while we were away for a few days, and he took excellent care of our two dogs. Our older dog is 16 and needs extra care due to arthritis and leg weakness, and he was absolutely great with her. He also was very communicative and sent several pictures of our babies. He even cleaned up the house before he left! I would not hesitate to book him to care for our dogs again.”
“Heather did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for our pets while we were away. She kept us updated with lots of photos and regular communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Any concerns or questions were communicated promptly, and she was always professional and responsive. When we returned home, our animals were happy, well cared for, and it was clear they had received plenty of attention and love. Heather was also incredibly respectful of our home, furniture, and belongings, leaving everything in great condition. I would not hesitate to book Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Heather, for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life I’d love the opportunity to meet your and your pets needs and provide a safe, fun home for them I am semi retired and work part time My schedule is flexible most days to provide you and your pet friendly reliable service as needed I have a fenced yard and one older dog who loves other animals! Whether at my home or yours, I will make sure you pet receives love and attention
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, and I bring a calm, intuitive approach to every pet I meet. I cared for my senior dog until he was 17 years old, so I’m very familiar with the slower routines, medication needs, and gentle patience older pets require. I currently have two six-month-old kittens and a senior cat at home, which means I’m comfortable with everything from rambunctious baby energy to the quiet, steady care that aging cats need. I’ve also cared for blind cats and deaf dogs, as well as pets with mobility or sensory challenges. I’m great at adjusting my pace, creating safe paths, and using sound and touch cues to help them feel secure. Honestly, I’ve been obsessed with animals since I was a kid. I used to carry a dog encyclopedia everywhere I went, and that curiosity has turned into a lifelong love of learning about different breeds, personalities, and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of experience, gentleness, and the ability to tune in to what each individual pet needs, whether that’s extra patience, structure, or simply a quiet, comforting presence. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s needs—walks, meals, playtime, or quiet time—while keeping everything consistent and reliable. When I’m caring for an animal, my priority is creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I’m patient, observant, and always let each pet set the pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I follow your routines exactly as you lay them out: feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise habits, enrichment activities, and any house rules you rely on. I’m very detail-oriented, so things like secure doors, gates, and safe spaces are always double-checked. Cleanliness and comfort matter to me, too. I keep water fresh, living areas tidy, and make sure your pet has a peaceful space where they can relax and feel secure. I also communicate regularly so you always know how your pet is doing. Overall, I aim to provide steady, reliable care that makes your pet feel safe and understood, and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had a jack terrier mix for 6+ months in a shared home experience. So much energetic fun. Home Care for people and pets. Currently I am in-between work so I have plenty of time to fit your pet sitting needs. I am available to accommodate your travel needs. I have a nine year old daughter who loves animals. We will take them out as often as needed. They'll be lots of play time.
“Katherine was a lifesaver for us!! This was our first time leaving our girls, and her constant communication kept us at ease. Maggie misses their outside play dates already!! Katherine housesat for us, and coming home to a house better than you left it meant the world!! I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone!!”
“Susanna was wonderful with our pets. She sent a check in picture each day to keep us up to speed, and when we got back our dogs were calm and clearly had been loved and cared for while we were gone. They didn’t even seem super excited to see us which is a great sign that they had a good time with Susanna. ?”
About: Hello! My name is Cindy. I'm so delighted to start my pet walking business; opening in March (Let's Walk). It's beyond belief that I'm able to finally display my deep love for dogs with helping busy owners, ensuring every furry family member gets adventure and the care they deserve. I learned so much caring for my beloved Winnie, who I sadly had to let go due to unexpected events that took place in my life many years ago. I understand the joy and responsibility of pet ownership firsthand. I am committed to providing exceptional care, safety, and companionship for your pet family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind, a tired dog and RELIABLE service. I offer a nurturing and stimulating environment for your furry family member's. I recently retired early from teaching preschool children to pursue a career in pet care. I offer flexible, full time availability and am able to provide constant supervision and care for your pet, ensuring they are happy and comfortable. I'm available seven days a week from 6am to 7pm. I will be adding boarding services April 2026. Your pets safety is of most PRIORITY. I will stay alert for cars, people and other dogs; avoid music, use proper equipment (secure harness/collar), stick to safe routes (sidewalks, avoid heavy traffic), manage interactions ( ask permission for greetings) watch for broken glass or hot pavement (using the 5-second rule), carry water, use reflective gear at night, while managing their health and observing their body language.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Landrum walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Landrum maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Landrum 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Landrum. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
