About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I grew up with rabbits, had my first dog at 13 who was a part of my family for 14 amazing years, and have had a cat of my own for the past 6 years. Being around animals has always brought me so much joy, and pet sitting is something I genuinely love doing. I love getting outside for walks, playing at the dog park, enjoying some fresh air, and, of course, giving plenty of belly rubs, snuggles, and attention! Whether your pet is an energetic adventurer or a professional cuddler, I want them to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you're away. I know pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with lots of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I'm available 7 days a week and can accommodate a variety of schedules, including overnight stays. I prefer caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stick to their familiar routines and feel safe in their own environment while you're away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, or overnight care, I'm happy to work with you to find the best fit for your pets' needs. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family members! Your pets' safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care and plenty of companionship. This is also really ideal for puppies and older dogs that need more hands-on assistance. I prefer keeping pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and can maintain their familiar routines while you're away. Whether we're enjoying walks, spending time outside, playing, or relaxing with some well-deserved belly rubs and snuggles, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'll respect your home, follow your instructions, and do my best to keep your pets happy and comfortable. You can enjoy your time away knowing your fur babies are being treated like family, right in the place they call home.
“Uli is the best!! We are fortunate to be repeat clients. This time, Uli provided ten days of kitty care while we were abroad. Her frequent, detailed updates and many photos helped us not worry about our sweet girl. Uli offered to come extra times when our power went out and in case of flight delays. She is a talented caregiver who always goes the extra mile to keep pets happy. Thank you, Uli!”
“Kristi has been VERY patient and communicative while caring for our nervous Great Dane. They made great strides from Stranger Danger to friendly in a few days. Thanks, Kristi!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter who gave us great updates on our furbaby while we were out of town along with sweet photos letting us know he was in good hands. We have an older cat who requires quite a bit of social time during his visits and Lauren was always willing to give him the attention he demands. Highly recommend!”

About: Owners and animals will love my service because I'm very hands on and love to engage with the animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own who are extremely well behaved with other animals. I've worked with dogs In particular in the past and found a passion with it. It doesn't matter if it's big dogs or small, I love to meet and interact with new animals. I have worked with aggressive breeds in the past so I know how to engage and interact with different breeds and needs.

If I encounter any concerns or have any suggestions I will always bring them to the owner before I change any daily routine.

“When Diana first came for a meet-n-greet, and my two very similar looking cats went to greet her, she distinguished them immediately by the color of their noses (I had described in their profile). It immediately showed attention to detail, respect and care for them. As soon as she met the two, I felt comfortable with how she interacted with them. Diana helped my first get-away after having gotten cats enjoyable, because I could relax knowing they were in good hands. She sent photos of them very day, and updated me on the care she was giving. She is responsible, kind, and a great communicator. I highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsboro
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,718 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pittsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

- 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 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.
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.
