“Ashley was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town. The daily pictures were much appreciated. Ashley is competent, caring, and very easy to work with.”
“My kitty Bea felt very comfortable with Misty. When Misty visited she ran to her and rubbed against her legs and that is unusual for my cat. Misty sent photos and they were delightful, as she was playing with Bea, brushing her long hair, and cuddling with with her. I hope to get Misty again to take care of Bea.”
About: I've had animals ever since I can remember. Big, small, smaller, just about anything you can think of I've had. I take pride in making sure all animals around me are happy and cared for.

I can assure you I'll take extra special care of your animals, just like I do mine.

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.
About: I know how crucial it is for dogs to have a routine they can stick to. I’m very responsible about feeding, bathing, and walking dogs as often as needed. I work from home nearly every day. This makes it so easy to sit indoors and react to any pet care that is needed. I love animals and this is a great way for me to earn a second income. I don’t board animals in my own home, but I do everything I can to keep animals safe in their own homes. I don’t let animals off leash outside, I have the capacity to provide any prescribed medications, etc.
“Nicole continues to be such an attentive, communicative, and calming cat sitter for us. She's one of very very few people our sweet but very anxious little girl Marlow has opened up to and gotten comfortable with, and knowing she has a friend to take care of her when we're away is so, so wonderful.”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have a deep understanding of canine care and behavior. I also have over seven years of paid experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a cat owner myself, I am equally comfortable caring for feline companions, and I am a trusted, go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have a flexible schedule and am available for daytime, evening, and weekend pet care as needed. My fiance will also be helping to fill any gaps my schedule leaves. I offer flexible availability and strive to accommodate each client's scheduling needs. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood and have experience caring for dogs and cats in a variety of settings. Whether care is provided in my home or yours, I am committed to ensuring your pet remains comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.
About: I have gotten most of my experience from working at Woodsdale animal hospital and being a pet groomer.{PRICES ARE ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE} I serve the Rougemont, Roxboro, Butner, Hillsborough, Apex, Cary Durham, Raleigh, Nelson, Morrisville, Chapel Hill area and have taken care of many dogs over the years (Pyrenees, Cane Corso, Pitbull, Dalmatians, German shepherd, Siberian Husky and more) and gotten most of my experience from working at Woodsdale vet hospital! I was also a dog groomer at PetSmart and PetSense! I have grooming experience, training experience and most of all a deep love for animals! I offer house cleaning services, doggy deshedding baths, nail grind, and training. I also take Polaroid or mini photos for my returning customers! (refer to photos) I own a dog stroller for disabled doggies and or elderly dogs also. I am also able to carry elderly dogs safely up and down stairs. Petsitting fits into my schedule perfectly due to me doing online school (only have morning classes) which means I have lots of free time to have fun with your doggies. I own three beautiful dogs (pitbull and two chihuahuas) and have a true passion for caring for dogs, especially large dogs (my soft spot) I also offer house cleaning, pet grooming services and plant care for pet parents. How I care for dogs in the pet parent’s home is by starting their day off with a walk, food and then playtime. I give three walks a day, and if allowed I’ll take your dog to a dog park or a trail. Sometimes I do behavior training if asked by the pet parent and or give baths (use deshedding shampoo) at the end of the day if asked. I am able to grind nails and deshed the coat also (have pet grooming experience) so I make sure your fur baby is in tip top shape and happy! As for elderly dogs or dogs with special needs, I am able to carry dogs up and down stairs if needed, I also own a large dog stroller (which is always cleaned and sanitized after every use) for elderly dogs, dogs that pull and dogs with special needs/injuries. They too deserve a nice walk!
“Erika was absolutely amazing with my cat Suki! She went above and beyond to make sure Suki was well cared for. I really appreciated all the extra attention she gave my ‘spicy-towards-most-people” kitty - it was clear that Erika gained Suki’s trust. She was also patient when I accidentally gave her the wrong address. I would definitely book with Erika again! 💛”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roxboro
We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave our five cats! She is reliable, kind, considerate, and always goes the extra mile—even bringing in our packages. Knowing our cats were in her hands gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Three of our five cats won’t even come out for family members, but somehow she won over every single one of them! All five love her, and that says so much about her patience and gentle care. We appreciate her more than we can say, wish her only the brightest and best, and can’t wait to see her again soon! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Roxboro is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 1,522 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Roxboro. 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 Roxboro. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
