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.

About: I am new to the business of dog walking and dog sitting, but I have been around dogs the majority of my life. Growing up my family had three dogs, and currently I have a seven year old rescue dog, named Arya, whom I had adopted in 2019. I am originally from Charlotte, so I know the area well. Looking forward to this experience! While I used to be employed as a TA at FSU when I was a graduate student, I am currently unemployed and searching for research positions as a biologist. My days consist currently of job applications or writing papers, so I hace a flexible schedule. I will treat all dogs with the same love and care, no matter their breed, age, etc. My own dog is a mutt (Rottweiler mix).

“Victoria was very thorough with the walk through and got along great with our 8 month old puppy. She was able to get into our condo and play with Oliver for an hour while we were away. She was able to give him enough stimulation so that Oliver wasn’t full of energy when we got home. Would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a rover to help with their puppers!”

About: Hello, we look forward to helping provide you with quality, dependable pet care services! We are Davis & Mackenzie, high school sweetheart newly-weds who are certified cat & animal lovers. Our fur babies are our whole entire world! We both came from households full of small animals around our whole lives, and cannot imagine a time where we have not cared for animals. In high school for Valentine's Day, we adopted our sweet Buddy, our senior kitty with asthma and urinary concerns. In college, Mackenzie adopted Lilah as her best friend. Both of our kitties have some special medical needs including asthma inhaler administration, pill administration, and ear drop medication occasionally. We also have traveled frequently with them due to moving and only having family out of state. They have come to Florida, Mississippi, Carolina beaches, and the mountains with us. That being said, we truly understand the feeling that no one can care for your animals like you do! And we hope we can alleviate those fears for others. Our dog Honey also has some particular medical needs revolving around allergies and anxiety, and we have a great extent of caring for her as well. Both of our cats require four small meals, multiple litter scoops, and lots of playtime a day, so we get it. We more than willing to offer multiple drop ins on weekend days and stay extended time if needed to alleviate any comfort worries. Our cat Lilah often tries to eat hazardous items, so we are absolutely meticulous about cleaning up charging cords, plastic wrappers, rubber bands, strings, shoes, you name it and promise to provide that same care to your animals. We have extensive cat toys that we can bring to play with your cats too, as we know how important continued enrichment is for them. We are highly knowledgable about diet restrictions and ways to provide value to our cats' quality of life. We want to leave them in better spirits and your home in better condition than when we arrived! While our children have special needs that make them our whole world, we wanted to open our evenings and weekends to helping care for other fur children! We realized how nice it was to finally have a sitter for our animals after anxiously travelling with them for years, and would love to continue to help others with the same needs! In order to save more pets from shelters, we would love to be part of someones "village" that they can rely on to check in our their cats. In our free time we love visiting the cat cafes locally too. Davis works full time with some WFH days where he could do a brief drop in around lunch or very early morning. Mackenzie is a full time student continuing her college education as a medical assistant. That being said, she has more availability on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as weekends with Davis. We are unable to offer boarding in our home currently, nor can we offer overnights due to our animals. However, we can definitely stay late nights or early mornings on occasion! We promise to be extremely respectful of your home, treat your fur babies like our own, and be effective communicators! While Mackenzie and Davis primarily focus on feline or small dog care, we also are capable of small animal care of any kind, so please do inquire! As pet parents of 3 high needs animals, we are always doing something surrounding the care of our animals. That being said, we are currently unable to offer boarding in our home or staying overnights elsewhere. We have pretty open WEEKEND availability, as well as some early mornings, some evenings, and some midday availability depending on proximity and duration needed. Any messages asking about our availability will always receive a response! In general, our schedule openness is as follows: Monday & Wednesdays: 5-7am, 12-1pm sometimes, & 5:30-9pm Fridays: 5-7:30am and 2-10pm. Saturday + Sunday: Very open availability with sufficient notice! Please make an inquiry:) We also want to note that our base rate is set for us as a couple, so $19 if we both show up, or $19 if only one of us can make it too. We do most things together by choice, and our rate covers us both within the couple:) We are looking forward to offering drop in services! We will treat your animals and home with the absolute most respect, consideration, and care that we can. We love to provide thorough play time, adequate meals and litter scooping, and making sure messes are cleaned. We will be punctual and courteous, communicating effectively with continued updates. We are happy to send photos every time! We take most bookings as a couple (buddy system for safety & efficiency!) unless otherwise noted due to one person's scheduling conflict. We are unable to board animals in our home or offer overnights at this time.

About: Compassionate, dedicated, and highly skilled animal care professional looking to provide exceptional dog walking and pet sitting services. As a Registered Veterinary Technician with a degree in Veterinary Technology and hands-on experience in clinical and kennel settings, I offer much more than a standard walk. I combine a deep love for animals with professional expertise in safety, behavioral restraint, and medical awareness to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and secure under my watch. Because I am home with my family during the day, I have a highly flexible schedule to pop out for midday check-ins, backyard play breaks, or structured walks. Tailored walks to match your dog's energy level, from high-energy exercise to slow, sensory sniff-walks. Reliable home visits, feeding, watering, and maintaining a clean, structured environment for your dog. Safe and reliable delivery of prescription pills, topical treatments, or veterinary-scheduled injections if needed. Monitoring basic physical well-being, hydration levels, and behavior to guarantee a safe outing every single time. My veterinary technology background means that even during a quick visit, I'm instinctively performing visual health and hydration checks.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life (4 dogs and 5 cats to be exact!) I currently have 2 orange cats who I am mildly obsessed with. I work from home in the Matthews area and would love to drop by to see your pets during the day or to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home in the Matthews area so my days are flexible! I can drop by if you’re out during the day, or stay longer to keep them company while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and work from home with my husband. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that makes going on walks easy.

Darby is the best!! She is so kind and loving. Our pets adore her and she takes so much time to update and send pictures. It’s hard to leave your pets but Darby made it so easy. She is responsive and communicates well. She took the time to meet our fur babies and went over the care instructions with care. Honestly, because of Darby this experience has been great.

Christina was great, she wasn’t scared away by my one dog’s less than warm welcome. I felt completely comfortable with her caring for my dogs in my home. Christina is very quick to respond.

No worries, Joseph helped us out in everything we asked. He was professional, timely and detail oriented [if we asked him, he took care of a task], he has a nice affinity and gentle nature that pairs well with animals. When we returned home from vacation, everything was as if we only left moments ago. That is a truly wonderful feeling.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Matthews on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 5,362 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Matthews. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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 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.
