“Emily was excellent for my boys! She went out of her way and certainly went above and beyond for them! I have an extremely shy dog who did really well with her, and they both seemed very happy throughout each visit and when we arrived home. The notes and images were great during each drop in visit/walk. I 100% recommend and would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Thank you, Sierra so much for taking care of our puppers!!! It makes it so much easier on us to be gone most of the day with errands or dates and know that the boys are in good hands and have a great sitter for them. We will definitely reach back out the next time we need a sitter!!!”
“Megan is AWESOME! She was able to do several drop-ins for our 4 month old puppy over the past couple of days on short notice (a plus considering our schedules)! INITIAL MEET AND GREET: During the initial meet and greet, Megan was very personable and had good energy. She was also very interactive with our dogs. By the end of the meet and greet, we were comfortable enough to hand over the house keys so that she could do several drop-ins for us while we were entertaining out of town guests (and that is saying a ton!). DROP-INs: During the drop-ins, not only did she show up on time to let our three dogs out, she helped by cleaning up after the puppy who is house trained (but sometimes misses his mark and feeding the dogs at their regular time). The dogs seemed to be really excited to see her and enjoyed her company. We're grateful that Megan is reliable so that our dogs could maintain their normal schedule for potty and eating. OVERALL IMPRESSION: When we came home, our dogs were relaxed, calm and just their healthy and happy go lucky selves. Megan helped us maintain consistency in our dog-centered household. She is first rate and we will be calling on her services again and again. (And now that we think about it...Not sure if we want to share her with others! LOL! )”
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.
“Gabriel was so helpful checking in on my cats while I was away. He checked their food and water each visit, and also gave them treats. He even brought in packages that were delivered to my door which is really appreciated. My cats are generally OK by themselves, but Gabriel gave me the peace of mind knowing he was checking on them. Highly recommended and trustworthy.”
“Alexis did a great job of caring for our kitties, Nala and Adelaide, while we were away for a week. Although Alexis had never been to our home, she easily followed the provided directions to ensure that our girls had clean litter and fresh water, and that our home was secure. She was very professional in communications as well. We will look forward to hiring her for future trips.”
About: I have grown up with small and large dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs of my own ranging from 1 year old to 9 years old. I can walk, bathe, feed, or give medicine to your pet. I currently work 9-5 in Raleigh NC Monday-Friday. I can take care of your fur baby before or after work and even on my lunch break. I can stay for extended time as needed on the weekends as well. I have 3 dogs currently who love to play in our fenced in back yard. I try to take them for walks around the neighborhood as often as I can. They get bi-weekly baths.
“Great friend to our dog! Brittany gives good reports of her visits and makes sure your pet is cared for and attended to properly. Our dog is always happy to have her checkin on him.”
“China was absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel at ease leaving my pup in her care. She clearly has a natural love for animals and it showed in the way my dog instantly warmed up to her. While I was away, China kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy, exercised, and comfortable. I came home to a relaxed and well-cared-for dog, which says everything about the level of care she provided. I would 100% recommend China to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”
“Nikki! Has been so sweet from the day we met her to the days she watched Blue! Blue is definitely a happy dog and gets super excited and she accepted him with open arms. Will definitely be using in the future!”
“Skylar was wonderful taking care of our dogs. She responded quickly to messages, sent pictures, and made sure to let us know our dogs were doing great while we were gone. We will be using her again!”
“Samantha did a great job visiting my Moxie. She visited her and walked her. She did more than requested and Moxie was tired out from all the attention. Samantha sent a lot of pictures of the visit, which aloud me to see how much fun Moxie was having. I will be using her again!”
“Grace was great!! She came by as scheduled and communicated with us daily with pictures and messages! I think by the end of the week she had a couple of new kitty BFFs! We will definitely use her again!!”
About: I have grown up with all different kinds of pets. Along with watching friends pets, I have worked for companies such as United Paws and Wag. I can do early mornings and evenings, I am in the military so that takes up my time from 9-1700. I do have Saturdays and Sundays off. I will care for the pets as if they are my own. Lots of love and playing and treats if permitted. Pet deserve full attention and that is what they will get.
“Another great drop-in job from Aimie. I'm glad she was available in such a short request. My fur babies love her and that's soooo reassuring. She leaves very detailed updates with photos and I appreciate that!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was little. I have never met a animal that doesn’t love me . I have experience walking and feeding. I have a huge love for animals. I have a loving and compassionate nature. I am a previous Educational Interpreter and love working with children. Currently in transition to a different career field.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Linden on Rover is $19.98 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 2,683 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Linden. 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 Linden 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 Linden. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
