About: My name is Ashley. I currently work in healthcare and looking to make some extra money. I always had dogs growing up from extra small to extra large dog. I am a cat mom of 2! I also have experience with farm animals! I currently work full time in healthcare in Pittsboro NC. During the week I am unavailable unless it’s walking your pet after work. I get off around 5pm! I am free Friday afternoons and most weekends. I will treat your baby just like it’s my own pet. I love to get to know each pet and their personalities! I do not offer visits at my home due to restrictions.
About: Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs, starting with my family pet during my childhood. This experience involved regular walks, administering medication, and cultivating patience with an aging dog until her passing at the age of 18. Subsequently, I acquired my first pet during my college years, teaching me the intricacies of caring for a young puppy. Currently, my wife and I have a leopard gecko as well as two rescue dogs from a local shelter, which over the past two years has instilled in us valuable lessons on managing and navigating the challenges associated with adopting dogs with a history. Additionally, my wife has a longstanding history of caring for pets, consistently taking in various animals in need of attention. She is nearing completion of her degree as a registered veterinary technician (RVT) and currently works full-time at a veterinary hospital in Apex, providing compassionate care to pets. I am currently working part-time. on the days that I work I am up early in the mornings from 5:30 a.m. and work until 12. However, I am about 20 mins away from home and am able to make stops throughout the day if needed to give walks or give potty breaks. I am also able to give walks, potty breaks or feed in the afternoons. I have a fully fenced-in quarter-acre backyard where your pet can freely roam, play, and relax. There are also two playful and affectionate dogs who can keep your pet company and engage in playtime with them. If you prefer, I can easily confine your pet in a spacious crate equipped with toys and a bed. This option can be utilized for training purposes, or it can provide your pet with a comfortable place to rest and unwind.
“Jesse was amazing. I was nervous about leaving my older cat, but Jesse was very reassuring. She played with and brushed my guys in addition to the normal cat chores. Will definitely use again, and definitely recommend!”
“Ali is simply a lovely human. My dogs took to him immediately. Gus was especially excited to meet his new friend and Ali responded with nothing but patience and understanding. Ali has an energy that is simultaneously enthusiastic and calming. We’re excited to have him back :)”
About: Hello! My name is Nicole and I have one pup of my own. Her name is Kona and she’s a Labrador/English Pointer Mix. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all sizes and will tire them out with play and exercise! I have been around dogs and puppies my whole life and come from a large family so I'm comfortable around many people and furry friends! I look forward to being your sitter/walker! I work from home so I’m available to care for dogs all throughout the day. I have a crate at home if needed and a couple extra dog beds. We have land for dogs to roam, but also walk regularly. My dog is a great companion and loves playing with other dogs! We don’t have a fence so dogs with good recall will enjoy it here the most.
“Kalah did a stellar job with Piper so can be dog aggressive at times. This was our first time with anyone helping us out. She made it such a breeze. Even helped with her special diet. The pictures were so reassuring. Will be calling on her again!!”

Cassie was taking care of my 5-month old kitten when I was away for the weekend. She sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated as well as descriptions how he is doing, playing and eating. He was happy and well cared for. Will be booking again in the future!
Natasha was the absolute BEST! She took the time to understand all of my cat’s needs and made sure to address everything in her drop in visits. She went above and beyond standard cat care and I could not be more thankful! HIGHLY recommend! Thank you so much Natasha!!
Kali has come twice now in the last month. I am incredibly grateful we have finally found a sitter like her again! Kali is kind, punctual (we have a diabetic cat that needs to be cared for in specific time increments), communicative, and we can tell our cats and home have been taken care of when we get home. She has even managed to get our shy cat to come out while she is there. I am relieved to know we have finally found someone we can trust!
Taylor is so wonderful! My sweet baby is so picky about the people that he will trust and he loves her! She always takes such good care of him and communicates so effectively. He is somewhat high maintenance and she never complains and always follows instructions perfectly and goes above and beyond to make sure he feels loved. I am so incredibly grateful for her and for this platform!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .

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 .
