“Emily did a great job caring for our 2 cats while we were out of town. Our younger cat has less experience being left alone and was a little stressed. Emily was so good to him and gave him extra attention. She was great about reaching out with questions and kept us updated with the best photos. We look forward to booking with her for our upcoming trips next year!”
“Megan is so great with our two Great Danes. She always makes sure to update us with pictures and what the dogs get up to. She has really helped us out and is so flexible with scheduling which I sincerely appreciate. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Abby did such a wonderful job feeding my cats and taking care of their needs. I enjoyed the photos and reports she sent. I’d highly recommend her and plan to rebook with her soon!”

“Thank you so much Audrey for watching Korra and Hobbes! They aren’t the most social so thank you for taking the time to send pictures and updates on them even when they were hiding haha. Highly recommend Audrey.”

“Sara was wonderful at communication, respecting the house rules and accountability. She got the initial drop in visit start time wrong, but she took accountability and fixed it right away. It's totally fine that mistakes happen, and Sara handled it very professionally. She also posted updates per drop-in with photos, and did call us when health concerns arise like we requested. I would highly recommend her service to others as a very trustworthy sitter. I would 100% book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll provide patient and dependable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. This gives me plenty of time for feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship.

Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and special care requests. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs to ensure they remain safe, happy, and stress-free. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Elizabeth was wonderful with my pups. She kept me updated every single visit and also sent pictures. She even took the time to clean up mud they brought it. Overall great experience and will be using her again in the future.”

“If you're in need of a dependable dog sitter for drop-in visits, I highly recommend Francesca. From my personal experience, they stand out as an exceptional caregiver who genuinely understands the needs of both pets and their owners. Francesca is punctual, reliable, and communicates effectively. During their visits, they not only ensure that all of the basic needs are met—like feeding, refreshing water, and taking your dog out for a bathroom break—but they also spend quality time playing with and comforting your dog. This attention goes a long way in keeping your pet happy and relaxed while you're away. The updates they provide after each visit are detailed and often accompanied by photos or videos, which is incredibly reassuring when you're away from your beloved pet. Francesca's approach is professional yet warm, making them a trusted companion for your dog. Whether it's a last-minute emergency or regular scheduled visits, Francesca consistently delivers high-quality care. They have earned my trust and gratitude, and I'm confident they will do the same for any pet owner.”


About: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself). With the knowledge I have gathered from both working in office, having pets, sitting family pets, and my many years of pet grooming I hope to make my home a safe haven for your pet. We can also discuss natural treatments for pets which I've studied for a while now when it comes to specific breeds, mixed breeds, and their genetic ailments. I will soon be making all natural dog & cat treats for pets. I can also train pets through the treat/clicker system which has worked well for all of my pets and a plenty of others. If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.
About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets, including three dogs and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I also have experience being around my roommate’s dog, which has helped me adapt to different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with an active dog or providing calm companionship for a more relaxed pet. I will be work Monday through Thursday from 9–5 starting May 18th, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and in the evenings after 5pm. I’m fully available all day on Fridays and weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for boarding, extended visits, or extra playtime. I’m committed to making sure your pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care, even with my part-time schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, with plenty of room for pets to relax and play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, needs, and personality, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for at all times.

“Kat was exceptional! She not only did what was needed but went above and beyond for our furbabies. Even after one specific hard day she still made a point to do her check in even though it wasn’t specifically needed. She communicated with me the whole time and sent lovely pictures. She even cleaned up a little on her last day as a special cherry on top. Will be using her services again!”

About: I currently work a full time job so my availability is not consistent, but I do have a lot of blocks of availability on different days so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I have experience taking care of an array of animals including, rabbits, fish, chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and of course dogs and cats. I have been trusted by family and friends for many years to care for their fur friends and overnight sit. I am a graduate of NCSU with a Bachelor in Animal Science. I take pride in focusing on caring for your pets needs and can easily walk dogs or just pop in to check on your animals. My home is unfortunately not available for pets, however in your home I will ensure safety is a number one priority for me and the pet. Always following the owners instructions to ensure you pets are cared for properly.
About: I’ve taken care of, and had dogs in my home since I was born! We’ve had a range of different breeds from shih tzu to pitbull, rottweiler, golden retriever, and mixes! We’ve also had a range of cats, as well as helped with boarded horses at a nearby farm throughout my middle school and high school years! I started pet sitting prior to babysitting at a very young age! My large family is full of pet lovers, and I cannot get enough of them. I’m used to giving small or large dogs baths, feeds, long walks, and swim time if requested. I work a nursing schedule, so I have half of the days off during the week, and currently use that time to take my pup on long walks, spoil him, bathe him, take him to large fields to run out the zoomies, and I realized I have the time to take on more than my guy due to my open schedule! I can walk your dog, crate if necessary, use your backyard or a nearby pet park to play (if you’d like), I can take them swimming, feed them, trim their nails, or bathe them!

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 Pikeville 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.
