“Once again Amanda took care of everything and I was able to leave my animals and never worry about them. She kept in contact with me and provided little updates daily…I trust her completely and will only leave if I can get on her schedule. She is my forever care giver.”
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. As a local graduate student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I lead an active lifestyle that’s perfect for keeping pups happy with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. 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! I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, where your pets can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, and plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own.
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: I’ve taken care of dogs (and have owned them) since the age of 10… I’ve helped many friends, family, neighbors and more with a variety of services. Anything from walking, feeding, sitter, boarding, etc. I can help with whatever you need! I’m a teacher and coach so I work from 7am-5pm, weekdays. I also work a part time job on the weekends here and there and can be available throughout the day/night. I’m pretty flexible and can make time whenever you and your pet need! I’ve owned Beagles, Chihuahuas, Shiz-Tzus, Jack Russel’s, as well as worked with German Sheppards, Labs, Doodles, Pitbulls, and many other dogs. I will do to handle and take care of your pet with the best care as if they were my own. 😊
“We booked a last minute travel and we were looking for someone to take care of our baby girl in our home, Lindsey got back to us quick, and was available. Lindsey is responsible, punctual and the most important, Lilica loved her! She sent us pictures of Lilica, we loved it, we could enjoy our travel knowing Lilica was in good hands! I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a great petsitter to take care of your furry friend while you are away! Thanks again Lindsey, Lilica misses you! Hope to see you again anytime soon!”
“Daniel stayed with our two dogs for eight days. They were happy, eating and playful all week. He has been so good for our dogs when we are gone. He took care of all their needs and gave them play time in the yard. The house and the dogs were in great condition when we returned. He even folded blankets and left the place clean. He stayed a couple extra hours when our flights continued to get delayed just in case they were cancelled, and left calming dog channel on for them when he did leave. We will definitely be booking him again.”
About: I have watched a friend’s mature dog in her home while a family member was hospitalized. I have always had rescue animals in my home it is always been a priority for me to love animals and treat them with the respect that is so well-deserved. I have two rescue kitties that I care for every day. I am semi retired, spend special time with my fur babies and exercise every day. I would like to rescue a dog, but if I could spend time and love other people's pets, it would be a very rewarding experience. Since I have two kitties, I prefer to care for pets in the clients homes. My one kitty is 16 years old and I don’t want to subject her to change an environment. Every morning, I am greeted by my kitties, before eating breakfast I give them their morning treats. After exercising in the afternoon, it is dinner time for them so I feed them, they nap and then we bond later in the evening, while one sits near me and the other one sits on my lap. Having cared for several dogs in the past, I take them for walks, engage in playtime and take time to bond. At one point in my lifetime I had three rescue dogs who all got along famously. They were an extension of my family and sadly, eventually passed from old age. I will love your dogs in the same way and treat them with kindness and respect. Their comfort and security are my main concern, along with your peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.
About: I grew up in a household that took in more than 7 strays dogs, and now I have 1 rescue dogs myself. I used to take care for my two 13 year old dogs and I am able to take care of special needs dogs. I currently work as a professor, and working towards a doctoral degree. Please schedule in house sittings and drop-ins with time so I can accommodate my schedule. Currently living in Hickory/Newton Area, but commuting everyday to Charlotte. I will take care of your house and your pets as they are my own. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me.

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.
