About: I would be delighted to care for your pet! Whether they need lots of exercise or prefer cozying up, I'm here to ensure they have a great time. With a background in biology and a passion for animals, I bring both knowledge and enthusiasm to pet care. Being new in town, I'm excited to explore the neighborhoods with your dog. My experience includes caring for my family dog, a wonderful Lab, and being the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues for 20+ years. I genuinely love being around animals and can't wait to meet your pet! Hablo español. Falo português. I am a researcher who works from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can take care of your pet's needs in busy peak work times. I like to walk and explore new parts of town, so pet sitting is an ideal job for me. I will follow your guidelines, maintaining your pets' routines and ensuring they follow their regular schedules. I can offer them exercise and engage in playful activities or keep them company at their own pace, all while keeping them happy and stimulated.
“Shanley was amazing - very responsive, super kind, and helpful with our elderly cat. There were a couple of medications that she had to give our cat (including 2 pills), and she managed them very well. Her notes and pictures were terrific and it kept us connected to our cat while we were away. Cannot recommend any more highly!”
“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 14 years old. Most of my experience is with puppies and younger, high energy dogs, but I am happy to care for dogs of all ages - I just love to be around them. I have taken several training courses with my previous pets and am big on keeping a routine. I currently work (mostly) remote from 9-5pm on weekdays but they are very flexible for me. I’m happy to do overnight stays and I love to get extra exercise/play in. My apartment currently does not allow pets. I will always consider your requests as minimums unless otherwise stated in terms of what your pup needs (i.e. longer walks, more playtime, cuddles)!
About: I've cared for pets my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them! I currently have a pitbull and a dachshund, and I’ve always had cats too. I believe every animal deserves respect, patience, and understanding. I’m great at reading animal body language, respecting their boundaries, and making them feel safe and happy. I use lots of positive reinforcement—like treats you approve of—to build trust and comfort. I also have experience safely administering medications, whether it's pills, liquids, or topical treatments. If needed, I can gently and safely correct bad behavior to help reinforce good habits. Your pets will be treated like family. :) I recently lost my job due to federal cuts, so I'm available all week days! Please let me know your schedule and we can try to find something that works. Safety is important. Please let me know of any precautions I should take when visiting. I'll be sure to do whatever is necessary to make you and your pet comfortable and safe during the visit.
“Adam is always awesome. This is the third time we've used him now, and we couldn't be happier. Peace of mind when you're far away from your pet is priceless which makes his rates are quite reasonable. Thanks Adam!”
“Avery was great! Our cats just loved her as shown in the photos we received. She was on time, followed instructions, kept everything clean, and was a great communicator. We felt safe leaving our pets in her hand. We highly recommend Avery and will definitely book her again.”
About: With over ten years of hands-on experience caring for my own anxious, grumpy little dog, I’ve developed a deep well of patience, empathy, and skill—especially with pets who need a little extra understanding. I specialize in building trust with animals who are nervous, particular, or slow to warm up, and I truly enjoy earning their affection on their terms. I have experience with senior care, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and maintaining comfortable routines. I’m also confident with training puppies and reinforcing positive behaviors, especially for dogs who need consistency and calm energy. Whether it's a clingy cat who needs companionship or a temperamental pup who prefers personal space, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s emotional and physical needs. I’m not just here to walk or feed—I’m here to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a meaningful and fulfilling part of my weekly rhythm. Whether it’s a quick visit for a shy cat, a weekend walk for your grumpy pup, or a cozy check-in while you're away, I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the reliable, thoughtful care they deserve. I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own space, so I focus on providing calm, attentive care right in your home—where they’re most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routines, whether that means specific feeding times, medication schedules, walk preferences, or favorite hiding spots for shy cats. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets both physical exercise and emotional attention—whether that’s playtime, gentle companionship, or simply a peaceful presence. I always keep the home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home, but I’m fully committed to making your home feel like a safe, calm haven while you’re away.
About: Hi! I'm Demetra, and I'm so excited to meet your fur baby! I've been an animal lover my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, as well as cats, reptiles, and birds. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a calm companion, or a sitter who follows their routine to the letter, I'll treat them like my own. I send photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away. I've been pet sitting for families since I was fifteen and have been a Wag! walker since April 2018. I've completed over 125 walks with a perfect 5.0-star rating, and owners often request me again after the first walk. My experience includes: • Special needs pets (blindness, diabetes, special diets) • Giving injections and oral medication • Senior, high-energy, and young animals • Large dogs and dogs who pull I'm patient, loving, and dedicated to every pet's wellbeing. For example, I spent nearly a month helping Link, a puppy so frightened he'd never gone out with a walker. I researched dog behavior, consulted my vet tech friend, and built his trust with patience and love until he took his first walk with a non-family member!
“Rich was a great find for us, he opened up his calendar for our last minute need to watch two kitties, also fed our fish and gave us adorable updates with every visit. Very friendly, easy to get along with and instantly gives you comfortable to leave my treasured pets with kind of feel. Highly recommend!”
About: Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with two pitbulls from puppyhood to old age, and I currently have a 10 year old chihuahua mix. I worked full time in animal care for 3 years. I'm currently an in-home healthcare provider for children with special needs, so I am very familiar with the power of kindness, patience, and play for animals and people alike. I typically start my workday around 2 pm, yet I have trouble sleeping in and will be out walking my dog around 7 am. My free time in the mornings allows for walks, training, and snuggles to be part of my daily routine. I am someone who likes having structure to follow and will respect procedures and expectations. Personally, my dog is crate trained and he will make sure that I tuck him in at the correct time every night, and I make sure he doesn't go places where he isn't allowed.

“Sarah gets my enthusiastic recommendation. She was wonderful with my shy senior kitty, caring for him exactly as asked and leaving everything tidy. Her communication is friendly and direct, and there were zero complications. I was very happy to arrive home to a chilled out cat (his demeanor is always the tell.) I'm grateful for the peace of mind and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Piedmont
Melissa was very communicative, proactive, thorough and followed specific requests to better care for our cat. Our cat is on the shy/grumpy side, and Meli was able to earn her trust and let her pet her. We were very appreciative of the daily updates and pictures. Will definitely book again. Thanks so much Meli!
Madeleine doing regular home visits with our two dogs. Our dogs can be shy, but they were won over so quickly! We’ve really appreciated the caring approach, quick responses, and reliable, timely walks. It’s such a comfort knowing our dogs are in good hands. Highly recommend Madeleine!
Jeremy was great! Super communicative, great with the cats, and even thoughtfully picked up our mail for us, which I hadn't even thought to ask! One of our cats was acting a little off the first two days of our trip (probably just amxious about our absence) and he was great about checking in about her behavior and keeping us updated. Highly recommend!
Laura was absolutely amazing with my boy Sunny. Her daily updates and pictures warmed my heart. I could feel the thoughtfulness and intention in her care for my fur son. 10/10 would recommend her and will 10000% be booking again when I need a hand with my fur baby.
Fernando took really good care of our cat Luna. It was our first time hiring a pet sitter and he was very patient with us and all the questions we had. He followed all the instructions and made sure Luna was comfortable. She’s a shy cat and he gave her the space she needed.
Chloe was great with my cat, Valentino, and even though she didn’t need to clean his litter box everyday, she did! I came back home to a clean apartment and happy cat! She’s also very thorough with her check ins which I greatly appreciated. I would absolutely book with Chloe again!
Sydney was absolutely amazing! She took great care of our boys during her drop-in visit and kept us in the loop with real-time updates. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear our pets were in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would book with Sydney again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!
Breckyn was a very supportive and enthusiastic pet sitter. I'm doing a trial adoption for two 6 mo old kittens who I've only had for a couple of days. Breckyn had great tidbits of advice for me, and took great care of the sweet kittens at short notice. Thank you! 🙏

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Piedmont is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $48 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 12,395 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Piedmont. 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 Piedmont. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
