“Tawny was great! I have 4 dogs, ranging in sizes, and they are very high maintenance. she did great with all of them! Followed instructions perfectly, had great communication, and made me feel so comfortable with my pups under her care. I will be requesting her every time I need a sitter for my doggos!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting independently for several years, caring for dogs in their own homes where they feel safest and most comfortable. I understand how important it is for pet parents to have someone reliable and loving looking after their pets while they’re away. In addition to my personal pet sitting experience, my family and I have helped care for foster dogs for local rescue organizations, which gave me experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic pups to shy or anxious dogs, I’ve learned how to be patient, attentive, and calm so pets feel secure. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping their routine consistent • Giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise • Making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Your pets will be treated like family while you’re away. 🐶🐱 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day to allow consistent, unrushed visits so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and safe while you’re away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep the home secure, and make sure pets are always safe and supervised. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have been apart of the Rover community for around 5 years now. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you’re away! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! My attention is on my love for animals so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays anytime and most weekends I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent!
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes since I was born. I’m comfortable with large dogs and special care. I’d be super happy to watch your furry friend! 🐶 I go to UNC Pembroke! If I am within 20 minutes I don’t mind commuting to campus, If over twenty minutes I’m good to stay all weekend!! I love dogs and I am happy to snuggle up with them while I study or watch tv, unless personal space is more their speed :).
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid and because I have my own pets it’s allowed me to have a better understanding on how they communicate with each other and me. I currently attend massage school twice a week late in the afternoons as well as teach horseback riding lessons so my schedule is very flexible! I have three animals that have gotten along with every animal I have brought over. I also have plenty of property, about 70 acres to take dogs on walks and for them to play.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old because I grew up on a farm. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me with taking care of there pets such as walking, bathing and feeding. I have taken care of puppies and elderly dogs and I am also currently going through the process of becoming a certified pet trainer. I’m a full-time college student and mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m home a lot and can make time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also able to work around your pet’s normal routine so they don’t have to feel like their schedule is being completely changed while you’re away. I live in a townhouse with a fenced-in patio where pets can safely get some fresh air and play. I have pets of my own who are friendly, but I’m also happy to keep them separated if your pet is more comfortable on their own. I’m big on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me.

As your dog sitter I promise to take care of your furry kid like it was my own, I’m very open to learning new routines, and I have a very flexible schedule. Also, I happen to have six dogs of my own and am very passionate about my job as a dog sitter. I strongly believe that animals aren’t just a pet they are part of the family.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Nichols. 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 Nichols 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.

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.
