“Great sitter! Conscientious and truly an animal lover. Our cats warmed up to her instantly and she was very diligent in making sure that our routine was safe and replicable by her. Would absolutely recommend.”

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.
“Gwen went above and beyond for our two Sphynx cats! She wiped their eyes and behinds, which is normally difficult as a two man job- so I’m very impressed! Our more apprehensive cat warmed up to her immediately and she provided much needed cuddles for him. She even emptied our LitterRobot correctly, which can be a little complicated. I appreciate all of the care, updates and time that she provided for us.”

“This was my first time working with Angela, and she did not disappoint! Took great care of our pups for a short weekend and they quickly connected with her. Appreciated her daily updates and pictures. Look forward to working with her again!”


About: I have been watching people’s furry family members for 10 years, giving them the love and care they need while their humans are away. I have experience with special needs pets, elderly pets, and other pets (chinchillas, bearded dragons, chickens, fish). I am comfortable administering medicines and other treatments, as well as cleaning up after/bathing animals when needed. I am currently working full-time at a cafe/brunch restaurant. My typical shifts are 9-4 Wednesday-Thursday. If needed I have no issue with visiting your pets on my lunch break, given that they are a feasible distance from my job. I am available to watch your pets/home for any length of time. I am aware of how stressful it can be for your pet to not only be without their family, but to have a stranger come into their home. I make a point to gain your pets trust using experience and respect. I adapt to the needs of your pet, making sure their are cared for to the fullest, while also staying within their boundaries.
“Angelica is a fantastic cat sitter! From the start, she was kind, thoughtful, and asked all the right questions to make sure she fully understood our cat's routine and needs. While we were away, she was incredibly attentive and clearly made Dash feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. We also really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the process. It gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend Angelica and have already booked her 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!”

About: I love dogs! I've had medium to large breed dogs throughout my life and would like to start walking dogs as a side gig. Walking dogs within neighborhoods or trails would be my specialty. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take excellent care of your pet. I am very competent and will take excellent care of your furry friend. I will communicate with you as you would like- photos, just a touch base text whatever you prefer! I currently have plenty of time during the day to walk and play with pups! Morning, lunch breaks or afternoons are best options for me. Leashed walks in neighborhoods or trails. Can walk multiple dogs if needed at the same time. Short car rides to dog parks would be possible.
“Stephen was fantastic. He came to my rescue for my cat as the other sitter I had was not working out and I was already overseas. He came and spent more time than request with Reno.”

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.

“Ana took away any anxiety that we may have had about leaving our dog - Emmi - behind for the first time since rescuing her. We received daily pictures and videos of Emmi playing, retrieving, and”

“Lyn was amazing! We needed someone last minute for our special needs dog and didn’t even hesitate. She took great care of our pet and respected our house and property. Our dog loved her and we are excited about having her as an option to sit for us in the future.”


About: I have many years of experience caring for animals, including volunteering at a dog and cat shelter for about 10 years. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I also spend time around animals regularly and enjoy photographing them, which helps me notice small details in behavior and mood. Your pet will be treated with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m available during weekdays and mornings, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions I currently have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits during weekdays and some weekends. I always plan my time carefully to make sure your pet gets consistent and reliable care. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I never rush visits and always pay attention to behavior, food, water, and overall well-being. I also send updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

“Chloe has been the best with Pheebs! Phoebe can be shy and loud towards new people and doesn’t often let them pet her. Chloe has been so patient and sweet enough to come by twice to interact with her while I was home before her official rover visit just so pheebs could get to know her. She really has gone above and beyond. Grateful to have found her!”

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!
About: I truly understand that pets are family. When you trust me with your dog, you're not just hiring a sitter, you're choosing someone who cares deeply about their comfort, safety, and happiness. Every dog has their own unique needs and personality. I take the time to get to know your pup, whether that means being patient with a shy rescue, playful with an energetic puppy, or gentle with a senior who moves at their own pace. I have experience with: • Training and socializing young puppies 🐶 • Providing slow, careful care for senior dogs 💕 • Supporting anxious pets who need extra reassurance and calm 🌿 I offer consistent communication, photo updates, and a calm, nurturing presence your pet can feel safe with. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home, even when you're away. I don’t just walk dogs - I build trust, one paw at a time. 🐾 I work from home three days a week (8–5), which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or just having a calming presence nearby, I’m able to stay connected to your pet’s needs and not just check in and leave. On the days I’m home, I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love-not just the basics. For pets who thrive on routine, this consistent presence can be especially comforting. Even outside my work-from-home days, I’m available for evening, early morning, or weekend care depending on your pet’s needs. I truly enjoy making pet care part of my daily rhythm - it brings a balance of joy, companionship, and purpose to my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In your home, I work to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I know how important consistency is, especially for anxious or sensitive pets, so I approach their care with patience, gentleness, and clear communication. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. In my own home (if applicable), I’ve created a pet-friendly, low-stress space that’s clean, secure, and filled with cozy spots for rest and play. I always do slow introductions if other pets are present, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods. Whether it's their home or mine, I aim to make every pet feel safe, seen, and loved- like they never skipped a beat while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Whitney — a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom of two! I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, from helping neighbors with their dogs to fostering kittens and keeping friends’ furry family members happy while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I love getting to know each pets personality. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and lots of updates for peace of mind. I am responsible, on time, and work hard! After a full day at work, spending time with animals is honestly my favorite way to unwind. My evenings are calm and flexible, which makes it easy for me to focus on walks, playtime, and quality care. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or giving your pet some extra love after dinner, I always make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I treat every visit like a chance to relax and connect — it’s not just part of my routine, it’s the best part of my day. Your pets will never feel like an afterthought; they’re the highlight of my evenings! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their favorite humans are away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so I can make them feel completely comfortable. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’ll match their pace and make sure they get the perfect mix of attention, activity, and rest.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was 12, from a chihuahua mix to a labrador mix. I've had my current dog, a shi-tzu poodle mix, for 8 years now! I also have 2 cats as well. I have fostered kittens and have found furever homes with trusted friends and neighbors. I've cared for my neighbors' and friends' dogs when they vacation. They have entrusted me with their dogs and cats to walk, bathe, and feed them. I love animals and deeply care and respect every little critter that comes my way. Aftering graduating App State this past May, I stay in Boone and sometimes travel back home. I currently have time more time on my hands than usual. I welcome any pet and will treat them like my own. I live in an apartment and love going to the Greenway trail so I'll be sure to exercise your pet and am willing to care for them in the comfort of their own home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsboro
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 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!

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 .

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.
