“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!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, family friends, etc. I am willing to pet sit for dogs of any age from puppy to senior! I am especially experienced with senior aged, as I have a senior dog of my own! Mostly Summer availability ! I am a college student who is always home for the summer (early May to mid August) ! I am very much a homebody so 9/10 I will be available during the Summer period. My college campus is not far from the triangle area so I am typically available on weekends while I am in college as well. Your pets are my priority when pet sitting so I will follow any instructions given to the best of my ability. If your pet has any accommodations such as needing a diaper/ help going to the bathroom, a specific dietary need, medication, etc, I will gladly take care of them! Keeping your house clean is also important, so any accidents (including barf) are no problem.
About: Hello! I am looking forward to meeting lots of new furry friends and building a relationship! As a kid growing up we had two Australian Shepards and a couple times had puppies! Once I moved out I was still able to watch them when my parents were out of town and enjoyed all the snuggles and play time with them. Though I haven't had my own pet since then Ive really missed the companionship and spending time with dogs. I work from home and while my boys (age 13 and 7) are away at school during the week day I am home working. My schedule can easily be flexible and fit around your pets needs. If they enjoy car rides I will usually take them with me while doing errands or school pick up. My boys both adore dogs and have loved every one we have watched. My complex offers a large dog park for your pet to run around and meet other dog friends. I live in an apartment but is dog friendly. My home is available for pets if boarding is needed. If your dog is completely house trained I don’t require you to bring his/her crate. But of course if your pet would be more comfortable with it please bring it along!
About: My name is Ashlee I was raised up on a farm. I have a couple of my own that I love very much plus.. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field for going on 6 years so I am experienced with different pets with different health needs. Soo.. you can say I’m an animal lover 🐾❤️ I work pretty close to home. Potty breaks are in the morning, around lunch time, and night time potty or if it’s nice out more. I specialize in providing loving and attentive care for pets in the comfort of their own home. This ensures your furry friend feels secure and maintains their regular routine while you're away. It is nice to know if dogs are food aggressive, walk well on a leash, are escape artists, feel safer in a crate, are housebroken, require special diets, good with kids and strangers, traveling in cars, are energetic or laid back.
About: After moving to the USA, I joined TrustedHousesitters to travel — and in just four years, I’ve stayed in over 50 homes across America. But when I’m at home, I miss having a pet of my own. That’s why I’ll be so happy to welcome your furry friend into my home, so they can feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work online, so I’m home all the time — except when I go to the gym. Welcome! Small, grown-up, well-behaved — or not so much I have a fenced yard and no pets, which allows your pet to feel comfortable and enjoy peace and privacy throughout the property. 🐾my love
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.
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.
“Kalah did a stellar job with Piper so can be dog aggressive at times. This was our first time with anyone helping us out. She made it such a breeze. Even helped with her special diet. The pictures were so reassuring. Will be calling on her again!!”
“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.”

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!

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.

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 .
