About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12! I’m currently a Kennel Attendant working with lots of animals and taking care of them! I love any animals and treat them with love, care, and respect at all times. I can also administer medication. I am 18! Im currently working as a part time Kennel attendant for dogs! I have dogs at home, and I love caring for them and loving on them! Caring for animals in my clients home will come with lots of love, rule and routine following, let outs, feeding times, respect and care of animals and the home!
About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.
“Tiffany was great! The pups loved her and they were well cared for. We got lots of pictures and updates with every check-in. We will definitely use her again.”
“Natalie was fantastic!! She sent us videos, pictures and gave us very detailed updates. This is the longest we've ever left our four cats and we were able to really have a good time and not worry. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to all of our friends. I immediately liked her when I met her, you won't be disappointed by her! Thanks for being so awesome Natalie ?.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Natasha. She was phenomenal with our 5 babies. Our key wouldn't work for her and didn't find out until we were out of town. She coordinated with a lock smith so that our babies weren't left alone. She was very attentive to them and sent us videos and pictures. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
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.
“Ernesto diid a wonderful job caring for my Husky! He is very professional and all my dogs took to him immediately! I highly recommend him and will definitely request his services again.”
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: 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.
“Amber was so wonderful with our kitties and they loved her immediately! She checked in with us regularly and shared pictures to let us know how they were doing. Can't wait to schedule with her again!”

“Austin saved us from having to cancel our vacation with family. Our previous sitter canceled while we were on the road, and Austin took care of our babies. They looked happy in the pictures she sent. She followed directions well and was kind. Definitely recommend!”

Natasha is a very special person. She was able to handle my anxious dog better than anyone else who has taken care of him. She showed up when she said she would, asked great questions-Even those I had not thought of and was great with our pups-they love her. I also appreciated all the pictures. Highly recommended!!
Cannot say enough good things about Cassie. We needed someone in the 9th hour of going out of town for a funeral. Did the meet and greet made it simple went over everything. Did such a good job with the litter boxes and making sure our cats were loved and played with. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sanford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
