“Amanda was great - she stayed in our home and kept me informed about my dog Hank. She sent pictures and videos each day and was responsive to texts. Hank is an 80 lb lap dog, and she must have given him lots of love. When I got home, he seemed very happy, so she did her job well! Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have been a dog mom for the past ten years, and a pet sitter for friends and family for the past 5 years. My boys are 7year old and 10 month old golden retriever brothers Zeus and Percy. Golden retrievers embody the phrase ‘gentle giants’ and they have provided me the sweetest companionship. I enjoy taking them on walks and nature hikes locally, watching them go absolutely bananas at the beach, dressing them in matching outfits, and trying to teach them to share their toys. I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, and have experience with specialized diets, medications and many ‘quirks’! I’m currently a SAHM in the Lincolnton area. I have pretty open availability for pet care throughout my day with a courtesy 3 day notice provided. Regular feedings including dietary preferences. Stimulating walks with plenty of sniff stops! Sensory play including color appropriate toys to encourage playtime. Grooming if needed, cuddles and snuggles!
About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm an animal lover who works from home full-time! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra love and attention. Working remotely gives me a super flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time at home with your furry friends! Whether they love playing, going on walks, or just having someone nearby to cuddle with, I'm happy to match their personality and routine. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind with plenty of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ I work remotely full-time, giving me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day for your pets! I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment.
“Carrie was attentive to the needs of my furbabies and sent me picks to cheer me up when things with my trip had gone awry. Indiana and Georgie loved her and I was comfortable leaving my puppies with Carrie, which I have been reticent to do for many years. I usually take them where ever I go in a car, but could not on a plane. She also soothed my fears about possible damage to my home during hurricane Helene. Thank you Carrie for bing so sweet to my guys.”
About: With 5+ years of experience caring for animals and two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll provide personalized care, patience, and lots of love. 🐾💕 As a current graduate student, I attend classes on campus Monday through Friday, so I’m available for pet sitting on weekdays after 3 PM and have more flexibility on weekends! I’m happy to work with your schedule to find a time that works best for you and your pup. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities!

As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on.

As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.
“I cannot say enough good things about Victory! She took amazing care of our mini Schnauzer, Ollie, last weekend, and I’m so grateful for her help. From the moment Victory arrived she made sure to follow Ollie's normal routine, which allowed him to get acclimated to her quickly. Victory's time with Ollie was seamless and non-disruptive for him, which I really appreciated. Not only did she give Ollie the best care, but she also took fantastic care of our house. When she left, everything was tidy and spotless. Victory went above and beyond by sending me daily updates and pictures, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and goes the extra mile to ensure they’re happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Victory to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly reliable! Thank you, Victory, for taking such wonderful care of Ollie and our home! Will definitely have Victory watch Ollie and our home again!”

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 Maiden 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 Maiden 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 Maiden 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
