“Hillary was a God send!! So flexible and easy going and really bonded with my stressed out doggie as we hadn't really left him before. She was also flexible with me adding and subtracting walks due to my ineptitude with the app. Hillary went out of her way to make our dog and us comfortable. We will absolutely book her again! She's awesome!”
“Uli took great care of my cats while I was out of town and sent me sweet updates of their activities. When I got home, their eating and litter areas were clean and the cats were perfectly content. They can be skittish, but they even came out to say hi to her when she dropped off my key after I got back.”
“Gwen cared for my two kitties as if they were her own. She was able to notice a change in behavior of my 16 yo cat and alerted us in time to help her. She stayed with her until we were able to make arrangements to come home early. My cats really liked her too- which is highly unusual. Would 100% recommend Gwen and would entrust our pets care to her again.”
“Kristen was great! She took good care of our girls and alerted us when they knocked over their treats from the counter and ate a bunch. Thanks for looking after them!”
“Autumn did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. They liked her immediately at the “meet and greet” and were good friends by the end of the visit! She is very conscientious and provides excellent communications. Highly recommend.”
“Angela dropped in to give Nellie some mid-day outdoor time. She was really good with Nellie, and Nellie enjoyed the play time. Angela was reliable and such a help to us! Much appreciated!”
About: Hello! I grew up caring for my family dog and have always loved animals. I enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and long walks to keep them happy and active. My goal is to make sure you have peace of mind as the owner and your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I'm so excited to meet your wonderful pets! While I do work full-time, my schedule is very flexible since I work with college students. It’s far from a traditional 9–5, which allows me to accommodate morning and evening visits with ease. I also have plenty of availability on weekends for extended time with pets in your home or welcoming them into mine. I’ve been pet sitting for most of my life and truly love making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests that help your pet feel more at ease while their favorite people are away, whether that means extra belly rubs, special treats, or plenty of playtime. If your pet stays with me, I live in an apartment community with a spacious dog park, a pet spa for quick cleanups, and easy access to beautiful walking trails for daily adventures.
“Justin did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties Phoenix and Cici while we were away! He was extremely professional, communicative, and very thoughtful. 5 stars all around!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I am currently raising an energetic, lab puppy that keeps me on my toes - with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of training. Through her, I’ve gained firstshand experience with the patience, consistency, and energy that dogs need to thrive. Before welcoming my lab, I cared for my previous large-breed dog through every stage of her life, from adulthood into her senior years. She lived to be 14 years old, giving me experience with the slower pace, extra attention, and gentle care that older dogs often need. Whether your dog loves long adventures, a leisurely neighborhood walk, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I'm happy to tailor each visit to their individual needs. Safety, communication, and reliability are my top priorities. I'll always treat your home and your pet with respect, follow your care instructions closely, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every dog is different. My goal is to make each walk or visit a positive, stress-free experience—for both you and your pup. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am currently home during the day and available 24/7 to help care for your pup! I am happy to go on long walks outside or play with toys inside. I currently live in a condo with my 4 month old lab puppy, so I am experienced navigating potty breaks in apartment settings and finding the best trails outside!
“Nicole took great care of my cat while I was out of town! She gave me daily updates with pictures and updated me as she was on her way to my place each day. You can tell she is an animal lover and it makes all the difference in the awesome care she provides for your pet. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and bearded dragons. I'm currently in grad school so I work during the day. Weekends work best but I can also do weekdays; just ask! I'm happy to discuss scheduling with you. I do not care for pets in my home, but for my clients' homes, I make sure that the house is in perfect order when my client returns.
“Katherine was great to meet and it looked like Maddie did well despite her having separation anxiety. I appreciated the pictures and feedback. It looks like Maddie warmed up to her and enjoyed her potty breaks. I would use her again. She showed up as expected which was very important to me!”
“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!”
“Bailey did a great job with check ins for my son’s dog while we were away for the weekend. She was responsive, flexible, and responsible. Would definitely use her services again!”

Uli was great! She took the time to get to know our two cats and won them both over - even our grumpier senior cat. She took great care of them while we were out of town - going so far as to mash up our senior’s special meals and tracking his box habits (he has urinary issues) to playing with our high-energy kitten during each visit. Highly recommend contacting Uli if you need a kind, caring, and compassionate sitter. This was our first time hiring a sitter and we will definitely be contacting Uli for any future trips!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pittsboro on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,789 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pittsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Pittsboro 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pittsboro. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
