“Cameron was great from his first response through his visit. Two minutes into his meet and greet I knew he was the one Alfie and Mitzie would love. Arrived right on time for both the meet and greet and his appointment, sent pictures, and left a note when he left. Now I can look for other places to go knowing my pups will be well cared for!”
“Is there a 12 star button because Ashley was absolutely amazing. She went well above and beyond what I ever expected. She was very attentive to details with Keebler and the house. I will be using her again.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a young child. I walked my dog, played with my cat, and kept order between the two for a decade. I volunteered at a PetSmart for several months cleaning litterboxes and playing with multiple cats, so I am used to working with cats with different personalities. Dogs get their own bedroom with plenty of space to bring their toys and rest. Alongside my flexible, open schedule, this past year I have had no pets to take care of, which allows me to give 110% of my effort towards your furry companion! I am currently an early college student who mainly takes online classes. I have my own reliable transportation and the time in my schedule for dedicated pet care time. I have a large partially fenced yard for large environment to play in. My neighborhood is quiet and incredibly walk-friendly. A popular park is within walking distance from my home.

About: I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know what makes your pet feel most at ease. Whether your pet loves neighborhood walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m happy to tailor my visits to what they enjoy most. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines and giving a little extra patience and attention to puppies or senior pets. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect I would want someone to give my own. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so my pet care availability is primarily in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. This makes me a great fit for after-work walks, evening drop-ins, dinner and feeding visits, playtime, and weekend care. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can accommodate visits throughout the day depending on my schedule and your pet’s needs. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking so we can make sure your pet’s normal routine can be maintained. When I commit to caring for your pet, I make their scheduled time a priority and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection during each visit.

I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medications, walking routines, crate schedules, household rules, or any other special care your pet may need.

My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.
“First time using the app. I was extremely nervous. Leaving my dogs, and my home to a stranger. Jake was absolutely AMAZING. Very communicative with every check in. Went above and beyond to make sure my babies were comfortable and loved. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anybody!!”

About: Hey\! I’m a friendly, dependable pet lover who would be happy to give your furry family member the same care and attention I’d want for my own\.

About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.
“Virginia is amazing to work with! She took detailed notes in a visit prior to pet sitting and made sure that I felt comfortable with everything and that our cats had the opportunity to get to know her. During our trip she sent detailed recaps and took lots of amazing photos. I felt so comfortable with her that I did not have to worry once about the care being given to them. Would book with Virginia 100% again!!!”


About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I absolutely love the connection you get from animals. Learning their personalities is one of my favorite adventures! I'm a stay at home mom with 2 pitties of my own. I have open availability and would love to help you care for your family member! I prefer in clients home because of my own animals.

About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.
About: Hello! I've cared for dogs, exotic birds, cats, squirrels, sugar gliders, and even chickens. I am comfortable caring for special needs animals, older animals and some* babies, and administering medications. I have experience with service dogs and I'm happy caring for Chihuahuas all the way up to Great Danes. ---> □ All of my prices are flexible. Rover has me put in a value per animal which can get expensive so definitely talk to me and we can work something out! I have a 20% off promo code for first time users. ☆ I can also wash and dry most animals, trim cats, birds, and dogs' nails, and properly clip a bird's wings so they cannot fly away or over fences(chickens). This includes trimming some* small animals nails. These activites really depend on your pet and if I can safely do it. I cannot give cute haircuts as I'm not a groomer. ☆ I am also experienced in basic dog training if you need help calming your pet, so they stop jumping on people or potty training. For the training to take effect, however, I'd need more than a one-time visit with. Recurring walks are okay, but if you have issues you want me to address when they are inside the house, my walks won't be able to target the behavior.] I started Rover as a college student with a pretty open schedule. Now I have a full time job from M-F, 7am-3pm. Due to this, I can only accommodate bookings that fall on weekends, or bookings where the pets are used to their owners leaving for work for 8 hours. No matter what serivce I'm providing I will make sure they (the pets) get enough potty breaks, exercise regularly, are hydrated and healthy, and have a great fun time! We can even try some simple training to keep them alert and happy for treats. I am also really good with anxious or hyper pets. I've been told I'm good at reassuring them and keeping them calm while their parents are away.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakboro is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 4,085 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oakboro. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
