“This was our first time getting a sitter. Jordan was amazing with us and our cats. She was the only person other than us who could give our cat insulin. She knows how to approach cats and we feel very comfortable hiring her again.”
“Jennie & Raymond were able to drop by during the snow storm while I was out of town and it saved me a ton of anxiety. They are extremely dependable and responsive, I’m grateful to have found them.”
“Erica was wonderful. She came to check Mikey, walk with him, and play him for five days. I can tell when I returned home he was happy and well cared for. Thank you so much Erica. I could not have done what I did this week without your help.”
“Kristin was awesome with our pups! Very responsive, showed up when she was scheduled to, spent time with the dogs and cleaned up any messes. Will definitely book her again in the future”

About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.
“Daizsha took great care of our cats while we were gone over the holidays. Clearly a very kind and thoughtful person, I would recommend her! She stayed in touch and communicated well, and interacted with the girls a lot. We really appreciate her.”
About: I dedicate time to making sure your pet is taken care of. I have experience with dog training, giving medication, and being able to walk long distances for high energy pets. Growing up with dogs and cats I am very experienced, and will make sure your fur baby is in good hands. I’m currently a teacher on summer break. I work part-time at a bar, but my shifts are usually during the night. I am available all day long. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular feeding, walking, and medication schedule, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and make sure they receive lots of love and supervision throughout their stay.
“Minh always does amazing!! She’s watched our pack time and time again and each time goes the extra mile to make sure they’re taken care of!! Thank you so much!!”
“Anna was great- so communicative and took great care of June with drop in visits at our home. It was so helpful to have someone who was proactive with communication, letting me know exactly how each visit went so I didn’t have to ask or worry! We will definitely use her again.”
About: I am fresh out of high school and just turned 18. I’ve been looking forward to being able to join Rover as a sitter for 5 years. I love animals and have a bond with most. I have 2 dogs, a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua. I am also a volunteer with the No Kill Cat Rescue. And am always the go-to person for all my friends and family who need me to watch their pets! I have school from 9 am to 4 pm so i am free to work from 4:10 pm to 10 pm! Feel free to book me then! I love animals and i try my best to follow every single rule that an owner gives me. I love training dogs a bit to get their mind sharper and i love to pet and brush them if needed.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I really enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know their personalities. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’m happy to follow whatever works best for them. I’ll care for your pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have spent most of my 36 years caring for animals of all species. As a pet owner of 7 fur babies, one quilled and several feathered friends, I put pet care at the top of my list. As a business owner, working from home I have plenty of time to devote to committing to caring for your pets. My schedule is flexible. Every pet and pet owner has their own unique preferences and needs. I will care for someone else’s pets following specific instructions requested. Beyond a provided guideline, I will pay attention to each pets body language and environmental need. I will provide safe and thorough assistance.

Laura was quick to respond and she came out to meet my fur baby and we had a good discussion to cover what was to be expected. Kai is usually nervous at first but Laura grew on him. She provided updates with every drop in which I appreciated. I would recommend Laura.
Where do I start?? I am SO grateful to have found Jane! Jane is kind, professional, punctual, and a natural with our fur kids. Both our cat and dog warmed up to her immediately. Jane's wonderful service and communication allowed me to relax on my trip and have peace of mind and that is worth so much to me. We will absolutely be using Jane's services again soon!! THANK YOU!
Jennifer is a great sitter! She takes the time to learn the personalities of my 3 kitties and reports on their behavior during visits. So far all 3 have definitely warmed up to her and enjoy the attention she gives on visits. Jennifer doesn't mind doing a few extra things like giving special food & medicine along with picking up your mail. We just love her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 5,292 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Matthews. 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 Matthews 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 Matthews. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
