About: I've been raised with dogs most of my life and currently have three of my own. Dogs have been a blessing in my life, but I am not afraid of caring for other animals too! I have my own large fish tanks as well as a tarantula. I'm very meticulous when it comes to the care of critters - paws, feathers, scales and all! I have raised and trained my GSD from puppyhood onward, am familiar with reward-based training, and love taking dogs out for long walks as it keeps them and myself healthy and happy. I am available for any and all services, to include weekends and holidays! I lead a relatively active lifestyle, and love walking dogs to get my steps in daily. Nothing scares me more than losing a beloved pet, especially one that is a track star like my own little lady. When it comes to your own fur babies, I am more than happy to ensure that their safety and security is a top priority. Any critter will be cared for as if they were my own.

About: I'm highly adaptable. My history in Healthcare transfers over well into pet care. I follow every instruction to a T as I'm very detail oriented. I am free to create a regular routine with your pet or just cover down for a short period of time if that is needed. I have no problem getting your pup ready for their walk whether harness or collar. Returning with them i will make sure every paw is wiped and everything is put back where it belongs.

About: Experienced in animal rehabilitation with a lifelong background growing up on a farm, providing compassionate, attentive care to multiple dog breeds and animals of all ages. As a young adult with no children or personal pets, I offer a calm, spacious environment with plenty of one-on-one attention—perfect for shy dogs needing comfort or outgoing pups ready for play and companionship. Since I’m in school, I’m only available Thursday–Sunday to be home and take care of them. If you’re comfortable with your pet being alone for up to 6 hours, I’d be happy to discuss scheduling. I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pups with the best care, attention, and companionship while they’re with me. When caring for pets, I pay close attention to their body language and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. My home has a fenced backyard where they can use the restroom, play, and get exercise. Pets can stay comfortably inside the house or in the garage depending on their needs and preferences. I am happy to discuss any specific routines, requirements, or accommodations to help provide them with a safe and enjoyable stay.

About: I personally have a cat and dog of my own and I’ve taken care of them, I am very precise when it comes to my babies. I will treat your fur babies just like they were my own. I believe every pet is unique in their own way, that what makes them adorable. Pet care fit into my daily or even weekly routine by getting me out there around all kinds of fur babies. I currently go to school at ECU so it would be a great stress reliever just to play or walk with pets. I would be available for weekends and on weekdays, preferably Monday after 2 and Fridays free all day unless booked otherwise. I would care for them in my home by making sure they feel safe and comfortable to roam around without any hesitation. In clients homes I would make sure the client feels secured that their pets are in the right hands sending photo updates while I am there if needed.

About: I grew up with a house full of animals, both dogs and cats and still can’t get enough! I even run my dogs Instagram account and make her custom Christmas cards to send to her furry friends each year. I take animal care very seriously and treat other peoples pets as if they are my own (and mine are spoiled). I am currently dog mom to Douglas my nine year old Great Pyrenees! I have experience with blind and deaf dogs that require special care as well as dogs that need special attention for medications and the like. I have also shadowed therapy dog trainers for a period of time as part of a research project for school! love exercise and playing and can keep up with any breed or energy level I have a high patience level so i'm especially good with senior dogs or dogs with special needs/anxiety issues that require more help with their day to day activities. I am available most days morning, noon, and night. I’ve watched dogs over Christmas vacations both in my home or doing multiple drop ins at their home! I am very safety oriented I would never put someone’s pet in a position I wouldn’t want my pet in. Walks are always in designated areas appropriate for animals and we avoid busy roads and potential risks such as unleaded dogs which may pose a danger.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and pet sat for neighbors and friends. I’ve basically never gone without having a dog. I love all animals and currently have a dog of my own. I’ll be starting school soon so I’ll have the next couple of months off. I’ll be able to do multiple walks, feeds/ visits a day. I treat every animal with respect and care as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different and requires a different level of care.

I would love to care for yours, like they’re my own. I am home almost all day everyday, and can take your dog for a walk with our Nala. We walk with a leash on our street, we have a smaller fenced in yard the dogs can run and get their energy out in, and we can play with toys inside as well. I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. I do not work, so i am entirely able to give my attention to your fur baby, and play with them all day long if needed! You can fully entrust your fur baby with me. I will love your baby as if they’re my own. I can send photos and videos if desired!

We have used Abigail to care for our cat several times now, and she has been absolutely wonderful every single visit. She is so caring and attentive, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing our girl is in such good hands while we’re away. Abigail always sends detailed check-ins and plenty of photos, which we truly appreciate. She goes above and beyond by keeping food and water dishes clean, refreshing everything, and making sure our cat is comfortable and well cared for. It’s obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful to have found someone so reliable, thoughtful, and kind. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pumpkin Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pumpkin Center is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $20 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 662 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pumpkin Center. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pumpkin Center. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
