“Amber was wonderful! My timid cats got used to her and seemed so happy and relaxed in the photos and videos she sent me. I feel that Amber gave them a great deal of care and attention. I highly recommend her and would book her again!”
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”
“Madeline was fantastic! She checked in every day she was scheduled and made sure our pet was happy and checked water, food, and litter box. I think she even watered my plants for me. Would be thrilled to use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets in my home since I was a baby. I’ve taken care of pets from big (English Mastiff) to small (hamsters, fish), puppies to seniors. I recently moved to the area for residency and am looking to get my fur baby fix! Your pets will be loved and cared for like they were my own! I’m a resident with UNC Health. My work limits my availability to evenings on weekdays but I would love to love on your pets with the time I have! My availability is Monday-Friday after 5:00-5:30pm and weekends. Pets have feelings too so I always look for the cues they give me to respect your fur babies’ boundaries. Your pets safety is my first priority and I am always looking to make a friend out of every animal I meet!
About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have gotten most of my experience from working at Woodsdale animal hospital and being a pet groomer.{PRICES ARE ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE} I serve the Rougemont, Roxboro, Butner, Hillsborough, Apex, Cary Durham, Raleigh, Nelson, Morrisville, Chapel Hill area and have taken care of many dogs over the years (Pyrenees, Cane Corso, Pitbull, Dalmatians, German shepherd, Siberian Husky and more) and gotten most of my experience from working at Woodsdale vet hospital!

I offer house cleaning services, doggy deshedding baths, nail grind, and training. I also take Polaroid or mini photos for my returning customers! (refer to photos) I own a dog stroller for disabled doggies and or elderly dogs also. I am also able to carry elderly dogs safely up and down stairs. Petsitting fits into my schedule perfectly due to me doing online school (only have morning classes) which means I have lots of free time to have fun with your doggies. I own three beautiful dogs (pitbull and two chihuahuas) and have a true passion for caring for dogs, especially large dogs (my soft spot) I also offer house cleaning, pet grooming services and plant care for pet parents. How I care for dogs in the pet parent’s home is by starting their day off with a walk, food and then playtime. I give three walks a day, and if allowed I’ll take your dog to a dog park or a trail. Sometimes I do behavior training if asked by the pet parent and or give baths (use deshedding shampoo) at the end of the day if asked. I am able to grind nails and deshed the coat also (have pet grooming experience) so I make sure your fur baby is in tip top shape and happy! As for elderly dogs or dogs with special needs, I am able to carry dogs up and down stairs if needed, I also own a large dog stroller (which is always cleaned and sanitized after every use) for elderly dogs, dogs that pull and dogs with special needs/injuries. They too deserve a nice walk!
About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I am a caring, responsible, and patient pet lover. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, and fish. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to my spend my time caring for your animals! Please reach out if you have any more questions and I would be glad to answer them. :) I am currently working remotely full time so I would be able to give your animals lots of attention in the mornings and evenings but I will also be able to check on them throughout my work hours. I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals. I like to make a list of all the things pet parents tell me so I can ensure that I provide the best care for their animals.
About: I previously provided pet care on Rover and took some time away. I’m now back and excited to welcome new clients! I’m committed to reliable, attentive care and keeping you updated every step of the way. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m often the “aunt” to my friends’ dogs, and I treat every pup with that same level of affection, patience, and attention. My priority is making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs—whether they’re an energetic puppy or a more relaxed senior. While I don’t offer formal training, I’m patient and consistent with reinforcing positive behavior and providing gentle, attentive care. My goal is always to create a calm, loving environment you can feel confident leaving your dog in. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening visits. I work a 9-5, but I'm available before and after work, as well as full availability on my days off. I'm committed to making time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and rest time. Safety and trust are my top priorities—I monitor pets closely, ensure secure surroundings, and treat every pet like family.
“This was our first time using a sitter and it was a wonderful experience. She was well prepared and noted all of our concerns. Ashley kept us updated and sent lots of pics. We came home to a happy dog which is exactly what we wanted.”

I treat every dog like family and ensure safe walks, supervision, and plenty of play. I pay attention to their unique needs, routines, and personalities, so all their needs are met.

About: Growing up, I had 7 dogs in the house I cared for all at the same time for several years, ranging in size and age. Currently I own a Doberman, South African Mastiff(AKA Boerboel), a Pitt mix, and a Pomeranian! Although I haven’t owned a cat, I do care for my aunt’s kitten when needed! I am free from Saturdays at 5pm until Tuesdays at 6pm every week, this availability is due to the fact that I do have my daughter the other days, but I am also comfortable bringing her if your pet is child friendly feel free to message and I can come outside of this exact availability! I enjoy exercise, so any energetic animal will be fine with me, I am able to take long walks if that’s a preference of yours.
About: Animals have been a passion of mine since I was a young child. I enjoy when I can interact with cats, dogs, and when a pet's natural personality comes out. Because I currently do not own any pets personally, I am honored to be able to watch your fur babies. I am trustworthy, dedicated, and happy to take your requests. I have references from members in the local community that can assure you of my genuine nature and ability to meet household and pet requests professionally. Despite being new to Rover, I am not new to pet sitting or housesitting. In my spare time, you can find me volunteering in the community projects that impact important causes, such as youth development and coordinating help for the homeless. Because I currently do freelancing, my schedule can be more open. I can usually accommodate routines similar to homeowners. I'm happy to have a conversation to make sure it is a mutual fit. I would only pet sit in a client's home because I live in an apartment that does not allow pets. I am seeking requests that desire a house sitter, walker, and drop-in requests.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsboro
Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs while we were away. One dog is nervous around new people and pretty much anybody who isn’t us, and that in turn makes our other dog anxious as well. Jessica was gentle, resourceful, and creative in managing them and their drop-in visits. She also communicated well with us, so we felt our dogs were safe and in good hands. Thank you!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pittsboro is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pittsboro choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
