“Sierra is incredibly responsible and even with a personal emergency she wanted to do do what was right. All worked out and I would both use her services again and recommend her to others.”
About: I grew up with 2 lab mixes from 6 years old through college. As well as a German shepherd and I now myself own a Rottweiler mix who’s 2 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and have watched my college friends’ dogs when I was in college. I work part time at a bar doing evening shifts Thursday-Sundays. So I’m looking for work to pick up on Monday-Friday. I’m available in the late mornings to mid afternoons. While I can’t house your dog, I will be happy to take your dog on walks. Play fetch with them in the backyard. Often I take my own dog to a park to play fetch in the early morning. I believe a happy puppy is a tired puppy.
“Dinira is outstanding!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! She is so personable and made sure my baby girl was cared for while I was gone! I got an update and pictures every time she dropped in!!! Dinira made sure to give extra love while I was gone and went above and beyond! She’s so sweet and amazing with my fur baby!!”
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Outside of my current work schedule from 8 am to 5:30 pm I am open to assisting with your pet care needs. My weekends are free all day for help. My jobs involves physical labor so however long your pet wants to play I have the energy to back it up. Whatever instructions you have I will follow them to the letter and be respectful of your home!
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life. As an adult, I have had 5 dogs and I have fostered several dogs from the Humane Society. Currently, we have Luna - a 5 year-old Labradoodle, Poppy - a 7-year-old mini Goldendoodle and Cooper a 1 year old beagle puppy. In our home dogs are family members and our two childen will love to spoil an cuddle your pups! Dogs are fed and let out in the morning before everyone leaves for school and work. Either myself or my husband is home around 4 pm to let the dogs out and I sometimes work from home. They are fed dinner at 5 pm and usually spend the evening playing together with my children. Our yard is large and fenced in so the dogs love to run around and chase squirrels and bark at the deer. In our home, we will make sure your pup is fed and gets plenty of exercise. Dogs will have access to our couch and a dog bed. They can sleep in the bed or a crate depending on your preference. They will receive plenty of socialization as they will be living with our 3 dogs.
About: Hello! Jess and Jimmy here. We’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, birds, and all sorts of creatures for over 15+ years. We often foster animals and have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors and chihuahua to huskies. We are very active and one of our favorite activities is counting the cats on our daily dog walks. High energy pup? We could even take them for a run! Jess works from home in the afternoon but has a flexible schedule and her office is only 10 minutes from home if she needs to stop by more often. We make home made treats, frozen enrichments toys, and can provide puzzles, toys, and plenty of enrichment under careful supervisions. Outside, the fenced in backyard is a great place to soak in the sun and get lots of good sniffs. Kip and Carll can’t wait to hang out with their new temporary friends. Jess work’s from home in the afternoons with a flexible schedule. Her office is close by if she needs to stop in. The house also has cameras so she can always check in to make sure the animals are safe. Most mornings start with a potty break, breakfast followed by a walk. Once we’re settled back in pups get an enrichment snack before they settle in for a nap. In the afternoon and evenings we repeat! Potty breaks, walks, toys and dinner, before settling in for the snuggles in the evening. We have a fenced in backyard and 2 very friendly small and medium dogs. Dogs are allowed in all the rooms and on the furniture and bed. There are also dog beds in every room.
“Cameron did a wonderful job with our dogs! She sent updates with each check-in, and her communication was great throughout. We will definitely choose her to watch our dogs again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities, including administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, companionship during a drop-in visit, or extra patience and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and so I have a lot of flexibility on weekdays for drop-ins and/or walks. I have the most availability on weekends if you go out of town and want someone to stop by multiple times to check on your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away. I also understand that I’m a guest in your home. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“I am writing to highly recommend Samantha (Grace) for pet sitting services. She was a wonderful fit for my dogs. Samantha's genuine love for animals and her commitment to their care were immediately evident. My dogs absolutely adored the attention she gave them. She was also incredibly reliable and consistent with her timing, which is crucial for my dogs' routine. I will certainly be using her services again in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her. Best regards, Troy Machamer”
About: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for several years and I have a black lab! I just started graduate school at Wake Forest and would love the chance to get away from class and studying to go on walks in this beautiful area with some doggos!! I’m currently a graduate student at Wake Forest, so I would only be available in the evening during the week but available all day during weekends! I have a fenced in yard at my apartment, so I can easily crate the dog if need be. I love going on walks and being active.
“Kirsten was great! She stepped in to help with some cat-sitting in a last-minute situation and was very responsive and kind. She took lots of pictures and videos and was able to get a shy, skittish cat to be playful and fun during the time she spent with her. Kirsten is obviously great at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone needed their dogs or cats watched. She is caring, attentive and communicative and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away!”
About: Raised my own dog and his puppy from birth, now experienced with senior care. Pet sitting is natural to me, it's not just a job. I currently have a part time job and in college. My hours vary through the week but they are set depending the season because of school. I have a senior dog, so he can either be relaxed or playful. So I can always adjust to my babies needs and I can do the same for yours!
“Katrina did an amazing job at taking care of our kitty and sending us pictures to know she was okay! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
About: I have started caring for pets since I was 12 I watched my family friends three dogs on many occasions and helped to potty train her new puppy. I have taken four years of vet and grooming in high school and know a lot about heath and safety for pets and grooming procedures. Also included walking the dogs through out the day. I love pets so much and would love to hang with yours!! I’m currently in college but I am online so I will have plenty of time to play and be with your pets throughout the day and they will rarely ever be left alone. We do have a fenced yard and I have four dogs your dog can play with they are all very friendly and love new friends I have multiple crates so if needed your dog can be crated.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Town
Chelsie was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and she was kind enough to walk me through the entire app during our initial introduction, which made the whole experience so much easier! She was super communicative, kept us updated, and truly went above and beyond. She even took the extra time to clean up after our cats, which we really appreciated! You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We had such a great experience with her and will definitely be rebooking! Highly recommend!! 💕🐾
Eleanor went above and beyond. On her second day visiting, she discovered that my water heater had gone out and my bedroom was flooded. She communicated promptly and stayed an extra hour to keep my cat safe while maintenance came. My cat enjoyed her company and playtime and I loved seeing the photos of him while I was away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Old Town is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,437 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Town. 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 Town. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
