“Sarah did a great job of taking care of my dogs. She is punctual and sends pictures. Also lets me know if I received a package and brought them in. I will use her again.”
About: I have loved, raised, and responsibly cared for dogs for over 30 years. I also served as a dog trainer and K-9 officer in the United States Marine Corps. I work from home, being attentive, providing loving care is very important to me. With someone always present, I am able to provide companionship, supervision, and a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and cared for. Our home features a secure fenced yard with ample room for exercise, a well-socialized dog and cat, and crate accommodations for overnight stays. Dogs that enjoy water can also benefit from supervised pool time for low-impact exercise and enrichment.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was old enough to stay home alone as a young teen! Growing up, we always had two or three dogs in the house, along with the occasional indoor and outdoor cat. I also grew up around horses and have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some other farm animals. Honestly, chickens scare me the most, but I am up for the challenge! If you’re looking for care beyond dogs and cats, feel free to reach out, and we can discuss your needs! I also work from home a few days each week, which allows me to give pets extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I currently work full time, but I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me to spend extra time with your pet throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I’m available before and after work, meaning your pet would typically only be alone for about eight hours during the workday. I’m also available most weekends and can provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins throughout the day. At this time, I’m only offering care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I do my best to make pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away by sticking closely to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I understand every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I adjust my care based on their needs and energy level. I also make sure owners stay updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I love dogs of all sizes. A lot of my clients I dog sit for reply on me for letting their dogs out, playing with them, giving them lots of love and treats - of course, and taking them on walks I’m currently working part time so I will have time to let your dogs out and feed them. My work schedule is also super flexible. I like to follow instructions given to me by the owner(s). Whatever you would like to happen, I’m open to. If you prefer for me to crate your dogs when I leave, I can. If you prefer for them to free roam, I can also do that.
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.

All times work as well. In my home my dogs are family. I care for them by letting them out multiple times a day and catering to their needs.

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.
“Ben was awesome, very nice, caring and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable letting Ben into our home to care for our animals while we were away. We will forsure be using him again in the future.”
“Maria was fantastic! Very communicative with updates about our kitties and included lots of pictures. She was very professional and was best friends with our more timid cat by the end of the week. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was really sweet with Ozzie. She walked with him and snuggled with him while she was here. Amanda showed up on time and followed instructions. Will definitely use her again.”
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
“I just had Will stay with my dog for the first time and he did great! Mabel is pretty high energy and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely use Will again :)”
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
About: As long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for all animals. Growing up and still to this day I have always brought stray animals home to love on and care for. I recently started promoting myself as a pet sitter/dog walker and now I have a few clients that have hired me. My availability is very flexible. I am looking for long-term set schedules but I am willing and able to do short-term as well if need be. I have a house which is in a subdivision which makes it nice for long walks. We also have a fenced in backyard for a running around.
“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”
“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”
“Joe was amazing! Very attentive to both our pups! We had a last minute change to our booking and Joe was super accommodating. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pittsboro is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $27 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
