About: I took care of several family dogs from the age of 10 to the age of 19. I have walked/played with/cleaned up after/fed Australian cattle dog mixes, Australian Shepherd mixes, an American Black Labrador , Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. I'm used to both low and high energy dogs and have also worked with both ESAs and Service dogs. I work part time and my graduate classes are at night or online so my schedule is flexible during mornings, weekends, and afternoons. I can't do overnights or care in my own home due to my pets boundaries and needs. I will follow all safeguards given to me by the client and adhere to all care instructions. Based on the animals energy I will provide the proper enrichment and will always respect the animals boundaries. When I am taking care of your pet I will keep the space as picked up as I found it and will always clean up after the pet including cleaning litter boxes and making sure to pick up on dog walks and in outside play areas. Harnesses and collars will be put on as instructed and I will make sure to keep distance from other animals on walks to protect your pet.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and currently have pets of my own, including cats and dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or just a dependable caregiver, I’m happy to help and treat them like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure every visit gets the time and attention your cat deserves. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and interaction or prefers a calm, quiet presence, I’m happy to follow their routine and provide care that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to keeping your cat happy and stress-free. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication instructions, and any other special care needs.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a passion of mine. My experience includes working at a veterinary hospital and completing schooling as a veterinary assistant, giving me hands-on knowledge of pet health and care. I treat every pet that comes into my home as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and individualized attention. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, visiting the park or dog park (with the owner’s permission), and making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My daughters are also animal lovers and enjoy having pets in our home. They understand the importance of being gentle and respectful, helping create a welcoming, family-oriented environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. In addition to daily care, I’m experienced in administering oral medications and injections when prescribed, as well as providing basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims. My goal is to give every pet the same level of care, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own, while giving pet parents peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive timely meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether I’m providing boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Boarding (my home): Pets staying in my home are treated like family. They receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, regular potty breaks, fresh water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, clean, comfortable environment. I work to maintain their normal routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. House Sitting (client’s home): I care for pets in the comfort of their own home while maintaining their regular routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and providing companionship. I also respect and care for the home by bringing in mail, watering plants if requested, and keeping everything tidy. Drop-In Visits: During each visit, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, affection, and a quick wellness check. I also send updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing. Dog Walking: Every walk is tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, ensure access to water when needed, and wipe paws after walks if requested. I always monitor pets closely for signs of stress, fatigue, or discomfort. No matter which service I provide, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind through dependable care and regular communication.

About: Hi!! I am a senior at ECU and my family and I just moved to the Raleigh area from New York. I have been sitting for a little over three years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). I am open to anything from house sitting to just check ins- whatever is needed! My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I now have a a dog of my own, Champ as well as foster dogs though Pitt Friends so I am highly knowledgeable with anything regarding dogs and puppies. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Old Ford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 352 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Ford. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Ford. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
