About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Through being closely involved with my partner’s pet grooming career, I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, handling, and helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dog and maintaining a pet-friendly environment. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. I also prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, stress signals, and each pet’s individual needs and personality. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Mallory has great availability and she is very punctual! She also took great pictures for their report cards after her visit, and follows instructions given perfectly! I would 100% book her over and over :)”

About: With over two decades of experience in canine care, I've cultivated a deep understanding of dog handling and care that empowers me to make a positive impact. Starting as a 10-year-old caring for neighbor's dogs with twice-daily walks, I've consistently demonstrated reliability and dedication. Growing up with Golden Retrievers and now sharing my life with a standard size Goldendoodle named Penny, has not only strengthened my love for animals but also taught my children the value of compassion. My family, including my husband, two children, and I, along with Penny, are committed to providing your dog with constant companionship, attentive care, and a nurturing environment. Having trained dogs in basic commands and upheld the highest standards of pet care, I'm confident in my ability to unlock the full potential of your dog and provide exceptional care. Hi my name is Katie. As a full-time homemaker, my schedule allows for seamless integration of pet care responsibilities. Given my consistent presence at home, managing a routine that includes our current pets - a goldendoodle and a turtle - along with caring for our two children, is quite manageable. Consequently, incorporating additional pets would not significantly impact our existing schedule. I have a spacious yard of nearly an acre, which is not fenced. However, I am happy to walk your dog on a leash if required. My own goldendoodle and two children will ensure your dog has a fun time, and we have a variety of toys available. Additionally, if your dog requires solitude, we can provide a quiet space. During summertime we will have doggy pool available for your pup to cool off in.
“Natalie has been absolutely wonderful with our pup lyric. She has always been on time prompt always gives us updates and has been available for last minute changes…I recommend her to anybody… she takes wonderful care of your pet play fun games and never had to worry about our dog.”


“Tonya was great! She was available last minute after our planned dog sitter fell through. She checked in, sent messages and pictures every time she stopped by to care for the dogs. We were grateful for her care of our pups!”

“Alishia is a great neighbor and dog sitter! I highly recommend. She was communicative the whole trip and made sure my dog was fed, had time to potty, and even some cuddles. I felt my dog and home was safe with her visiting when I needed her. Even when my dog fell sick, she went the extra mile to keep me posted and checking on her. I’m glad she is local to Chapel Hill and will be using her services again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have spent my life around pets. Through years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing daily care and companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! My availability is open 7 days a week! I have a dog park in my community. Plenty of time for walks & playtime(indoors and outdoors) I can also crate your baby if needed.

About: I have worked with working dogs (including active LEO K9s) starting in 2016. I now train dogs in scent work, obedience and protection sports. I love working with puppies! I currently work Sunday through Wednesday and I am available for care Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Whether you want a night out or to go on a vacation, I can be sure your dog(s) are looked after! Drop in visits will cover what you would like. It can range from just feeding and letting them out to potty, or also playtime! Dog walking will be a structured walk, and if your pup struggles with Confidence or leash pulling, I will work on that during our walks.

About: I grew up with my dad having miniature schnauzers and have been around friends with dogs as well. I’m always amused when the biggest dogs think they’re the smallest lap dog. I’m lucky enough to have a remote job with flexible hours. I have an hour lunch period to utilize which is also beneficial to being able to come out as needed. I am such a detail oriented rule follower - so you can be certain any directions you leave will be followed perfectly. I will treat every home like it’s my own and leave it as I found it.
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for animals. I love all animals, not just dogs, and have experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and care needs. From 2014 to 2016 I helped train German Shepherds that worked with police, military, and special needs children. From 2016 to 2018 I worked as a ranch hand that cared for abandoned horses, where I helped provide daily animal care and support. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide regular photo and video updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. 🐾💚 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a huge part of my life. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and structured care throughout the day. My own dogs, Ella and Dottie, stay active and receive lots of love and individualized care daily, so I’m very used to maintaining routines and making sure each pet’s unique needs are met. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with administering medications, keeping pets active and supervised, and creating a calm, loving environment. I also know dog CPR and how to respond if a dog were ever choking, although thankfully I’ve never had to perform either. I will always treat your pets like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rockvale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
