“Beth has helped us out twice with our cats and dog. She is very professional, always keeps us updated, and send us lots of pictures. We appreciate her and have felt at ease while we are away.”
“She has treated my puppy wonderfully! She is a quick responder and wonderful communicator. She is very trustworthy and has been sure to take care of my puppy like her own. I am so glad to have someone so consistent to do check ins each day.”
“Noah took great care of our two cats and was incredibly helpful when our trip got extended. He stayed flexible, kept a positive attitude, and handled everything with professionalism. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and truly appreciated his support. Highly recommend!”
“Lori did a wonderful job with Cocoa! Cocoa is usually quite reserved, but I could tell from the daily photos that she warmed up to Lori quickly and loved their playtime together. It put me at such ease knowing she was in great hands every day. Highly recommend!”
About: - 4 years experience of having cats and taking care of a blind cat. Experience with administering oral medication to cats. - Used to working in an animal shelter, dealt with nervous dogs with patience and love. Currently working in a dog daycare as a dog trainer trainee. - Familiar with leash walking (including double leash, slip/P leash, gentle elader), basic obedience, and safe dog socialization. - Detail-oriented, follow care indtruction, strong communication with pet owners (if needed). Monday - Friday availability: Before 9am and after 6pm Weekend: Available all day. Availability may occasionally vary due to personal plans. Please message me to confirm specific dates and times. I prioritize pets' safety at all times. When walking dogs, I always secure leashes/harnesses and keep them away from potential hazards such as traffic, other animals, or other (potential) harmful objects. For cats, I'll make sure they are in a safe, enclosed space during visit, and I handle them gently to reduce stress. I observe all pets' behavior and status closely to ensure they are comfortable and unstressed. I'll follow care instructions for feeding, playing, and daily routines. I keep owners updated with pictures and messages, so they know how their pets are doing.
“We had such a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She was absolutely amazing with our elderly cat and took such thoughtful, loving care of her while we were away. She was incredibly kind, caring, and patient, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cat and wanted her to feel comfortable and loved. Knowing our cat was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and wonderful with pets!”
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.
About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
“Charlene was absolutely phenomenal. Very sweet and personable- took care of our pups wonderfully and within a couple days notice! Definitely will be reaching out to her for our future sittings! Thank you again Charlene!”
About: My 17 year old brownie passed in May 2026, and I had spent the last 15 years loving her, but her final 3 years caring for her in her old age. From cleaning the messes from an old bladder to hand-cooking her food for her allergies, I have learned the amount of care is different for each animal, and I am flexible with what is necessary to keep them happy. I am currently living a happy, unemployed life and excited to give your pet all the attention and time they need! Flexible on the weekends and weekdays. Your home is you and your pets’ safe space, and I respect every aspect of it and will keep it the way you left it. Clean, organized, and comfortable.
About: I rescued Griffin in 2016 from a shelter in North Carolina. Since then we’ve worked a lot on his fears and training - all self-taught/trained. I have experience both with oral medications, and injections (although the only injections I've ever had to do were on cats). I worked at a vet clinic briefly for a summer helping out with the animals that had to stay overnight. On the weekends, your pet will get plenty of play time with me. During weekdays, I am available to stop by for quick 30 minutes walks, letting your pet out for the bathroom, and feeding. I work 9am-5pm Monday through Friday so services will be worked around that or during my lunch hour. I love animals, especially rescues, and look forward to meeting your pet! I work full-time for the State but I work remote 2 days per week and have a flexible schedule to allow me to be home on days that aren’t my normal 2 work from home days. Weekends I am around and will be able to give your pet all the care they need. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible so I always let them check out my place before releasing my dog from my bedroom. I’ll set up your pet’s bed or they can use any of the ones I have for my dog. Nothing is left out that your pet could be injured on as I have a dog of my own.
About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or occasional overnight stay, I provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently in graduate school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight companion, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I strive to provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home. I feel it makes them more comfortable when they’re in an environment that they know! I will follow any instructions given and will be just a phone call or text away if you want to check on your pups!
About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsboro
Gwen was amazing! She always kept in contact with me about how Indy was doing on each visit and made sure to give her extra love on the days where the snow was too heavy to get a solid walk in. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone needing some who treats your pets as if they’re her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pittsboro is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $32 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 2,507 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pittsboro. 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 Pittsboro. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
