“Dawn was wonderful, she made sure Romeo had a nice walk and lunch everyday. She was even kind enough to bring up my trash can as my husband was away. She was communicative and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend her and book again!”
“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.”

“Jordan was amazing! My sister and I went out of town for just about two weeks and had Jordan drop in to take care of the doggies during the day. She sent lots of pictures during her check in and always left helpful notes. It was one of our favorite parts of the day when we could check in and see how they were doing! Would definitely recommend booking with Jordan and will re-book again!”

“Anna was so sweet and incredibly easy to communicate with! We weren't able to meet ahead of time, but she was so patient while our pup took some time to get comfortable with her. She sent plenty of photos which gave us so much peace of mind even though it was just a drop-in. We really appreciated the great care she gave our dog and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Samantha took excellent care of our cat, and she provided detailed and frequent updates while we were gone. It was a very good experience, and we hope to hire Samantha again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of family dogs and my neighbors dogs since I was 10. I also raised my puppy since she was 4 weeks old. I am currently not working so I have open availability preferably mornings and afternoons. I am willing to work around your schedule as well if needed. I have a big yard with a 6foot tall fence, so they have freedom in the backyard to play and run. I also am cautious with the animals when they are outside.
“Carly can handle most any situation that comes up. Seems like my guys are always doing something weird or mischievous. I have booked Carly several times & will continue to do so.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and horses. I previously worked as an equine veterinary technician and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. Growing up I did a lot of farm sitting and so I am used to juggling quite a few animals at a time. I currently have two cats, a dog, and a horse, so I understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply providing companionship, I’m able to be dependable and responsive. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for them is a natural part of my everyday life. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their own environment. I am an extremely reliable person who has experience farm sitting and being extremely attentive to animals needs.

“Averi was really great to my sweet kitty Mylah. She was attentive to all of her needs and took good care of her. Mylah is pretty particular when being cared for and Averi noted this and made sure to accommodate! She was also really good at giving me updates and communicating to make sure I knew Mylah was OK.I would highly suggest Averi for cat sitting/drop in visits”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
We are SO, so happy with Elyse and how well she took care of our two kitties, Violet and Angel! 🥹💕 She was amazing with them, even helped set up their new litter box, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The ultimate sign that they were happy and well-loved is that they weren’t even mad at us when we got home!! 😂 That says everything. We would absolutely trust Elyse with our girls again and can’t recommend her enough! 🐱💗
Jillian is so sweet and attentive! I’ve been a repeat customer for some time now, and my dogs absolutely love her. I truly appreciate all the updates and the wonderful care she provides. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again soon! 🐾❤️
Natalie went above and beyond for my pets! My dog has a sensitive stomach and had some issue while we were gone and she took such great care of her. I can tell she genuinely really cares for animals. It’s so hard to trust your pets with someone new, but you can trust Natalie!
Laura was AMAZING. This was our first time using rover for a sitter and i was super nervous leaving our babies. She did drop in visits for our two dogs and kitten. She went over and beyond! After the first drop in visit, my nerves were put to ease and I knew we picked the right person to check in on our fur babies. They all loved her and she loved all of them. Recommend 1000 percent!!
Reagan was amazing. This whole experience having a pet sitter through Rover and choosing Reagan to come take care of our babies was so worry free. Our pets absolutely loved her and she gave excellent updates on them while we were gone. We will definitely be booking Reagan again!
Jenni was absolutely amazing. She is by far the most professional dog sitter I've used, and our pets could sense her good nature because they warmed up to her immediately! She gave us peace of mind leaving our boys alone overnight for the first time. She was flexible with our schedules, communicative, and thoughtful. We received lots of pictures, which helped me feel more at ease. I could not recommend Jenni enough as a dog sitter and we will definitely be using her services in the future!
Jordan was wonderful with all our animals! She took care of our 3 cats and a bearded dragon. Everything was cleaned with care and attention. It relieving to get back from a trip and all is well at home. All instructions were followed and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you Jordan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Matthews on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,401 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
- 98% 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.
