“I’m so happy I found Lauren! From the very beginning, she was punctual, reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. She took wonderful care of my cat and followed all of her feeding instructions, but what meant the most to me was that she didn’t just stop in and do the basics. She took the time to play with her, give her attention, pets, and cuddles, and really made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. She kept me updated with pictures and texts, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My cat likes her, feels comfortable with her, and I trust her completely—and honestly, that peace of mind is priceless when you’re leaving a pet you love in someone else’s care. She is a sweet and caring person, and I feel very fortunate to have found someone I can trust with my girl. I will absolutely be using her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.”

“Danielle did a great job! My cat is diabetic and gets insulin 2X a day. This was the first time being away from him since he was diagnosed. Danielle came over and met Blue Jeans prior to my trip and was very communicative throughout my trip and sent pictures every day. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Danielle.”

About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Outside of my current work schedule from 8 am to 5:30 pm I am open to assisting with your pet care needs. My weekends are free all day for help. My jobs involves physical labor so however long your pet wants to play I have the energy to back it up. Whatever instructions you have I will follow them to the letter and be respectful of your home!

“I am writing to highly recommend Samantha (Grace) for pet sitting services. She was a wonderful fit for my dogs. Samantha's genuine love for animals and her commitment to their care were immediately evident. My dogs absolutely adored the attention she gave them. She was also incredibly reliable and consistent with her timing, which is crucial for my dogs' routine. I will certainly be using her services again in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her. Best regards, Troy Machamer”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Maria watching our cat! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. She spent lots of quality time with her and sent us frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving to care for their pet. We would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hey there! My name is Delaney and I am the owner of Wild Iris Pet Sitting; a highly rating pet sitting company based in Fairbanks, Alaska. I recently relocated to Winston Salem and am excited to offer exceptional pet care services to the community! I have over 10 years of employed pet care experience as a pet sitter, veterinary assistant, and kennel attendant. I graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a Bachelors degree in biology and much of my coursework was animal/wildlife focused. I started my own business offering professional pet sitting in 2021 and it is now my full time job. I provide care for all types of critters from dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, reptiles, fish, chickens…you name it! My goal is to bring reliable, safe and quality care to pet owners in our community. There is no better way to travel than to travel with peace of mind knowing that your pet is comfortable at home with a trusted care giver. As a professional pet sitter, I take pet care very seriously and continue to educate myself on the most up to date standards of pet care. I am a member of Pet Sitters International (PSI) and have received certification through PSI as a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. I am certified in PetTech pet first aid & CPR training and am privately insured outside of Rover through Pet Sitter Associates. For more information, please visit my website by searching Wild Iris Pet Sitting on Google. Don’t forget to check out my 50+ five star reviews! I am a full-time pet sitter, meaning that I take care of multiple homes at once but also meaning I have a bit of flexibility to meet your pets needs. I also book outside of Rover through my website so my schedule can get busy. I recommended that new clients request drop-in pet sitting and dog walking services at least a week in advance. Animal welfare is one of my greatest passions. All animals in my care are treated with kindness and respect, as if they were one of my own. Comfort and safety is my top priority!

About: For me, pets are family, not just animals we care for! 🤍 As a dog mom to Scottie, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether that means playing fetch, keeping them company, giving extra cuddles, or sending you cute updates while you’re away, I want you to feel at ease knowing your babies are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home! 🐶💕 I have a daily routine with my own dog, Scottie, and understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular schedules. I’m happy to fit pet care into my routine and provide feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while their owners are away! 🐾 I offer my services at YOUR home. I feel it’s important to keep animals where they are comfortable and feel safe while you are away!🐾

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: My daughter and I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as we can remember. We’ve looked after our own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There has never been a year in our lives without a dog in it, and we truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available for boarding, doggie day care, walking, dropping in, or playing with your dog during the week and on the weekends. My 17 year old daughter will be assisting as she absolutely loves dogs too. Our house is in a neighborhood. We currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. We are able to crate your dog if needed.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Shacktown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shacktown is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $24 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 1,060 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shacktown. 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 Shacktown. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
