“I couldn’t be more happy with how Christine took care of my dogs like they were her own. I will definitely request Christine for my future travel adventures. Thank you Christine. You are a Rockstar.”
About: I have 30+ years of experience caring for my dogs, cats, and horses. I bring patience, confidence, and a personal touch to every visit. From reinforcing basic training and helping puppies build good habits to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each pet's needs and routine. As a real estate agent, I have a very flexible schedule that allow me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I conveniently serve the Lillington, Bunnlevel, Spring Lake, and Cameron areas as well as a few areas in Cumberland County. I can coordinate visits around your pet's needs, providing dependable care, attention and companionship while you are away. I can provide personalized pet care by following your pet's familiar routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet comfortable in their own surroundings. I also can send photos and updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you are away.
“Brooke was great taking care of our cockatiels! She communicated every step of the way and even accommodated us as the snow storm got in the way of our trip. Would definitely recommend!”
“Meghan was great! She treated my pups so well! For the first time in years, I wasn’t worried about my dogs while I was away. My one dog can be standoffish with new people, but she took to Meghan right away! Meghan truly went above and beyond!!”
“Christine was AMAZING with my 3 kitties, she even came in on her own time (separate from her scheduled times) to bring them toys since we are in the middle of a move and everything is packed away. You can tell she is a true lover of animal. I highly recommend her!”
“Kendric and Jana were awesome. They were very flexible and worked with me on my last-minute changes to the schedule. They were kind and compassionate with my 15 year-old cat just recently diagnosed with an overactive thyroid which required medication. I had tremble administering the pills, and was frustrated by the process and so was Lucy, but Kendric calmly mixed the pills into her food and down they went. What a relief to me. They definitely have my recommendation.”
About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.
“Nikki is amazing and dependable. Whatever your routine she will follow it. Takes time with pets to reassure them they are cared about with love, attention and some playtime. Highly recommend Nikki she is very respectful and friendly.”
About: I grew up with an animal loving parent who taught me the value of respecting and caring for animals. She always had multiple dogs and cats in our house that I aided in the care for. As an adult I now have my own two cats! I work from home doing a very laid back IT job that gives me plenty of free time. I can be very flexible with my schedule. As long as there is a stable internet connection I can stay for long periods of time. My work hours are Monday - Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. I only request to arrive at the location either before 9 AM or after 5 PM My cats live inside and I make sure to give them all the attention and play that ask for as well as keeping their environment enriched. They are on a feeding schedule of three meals a day including one treat and lots of cuddles!!
“My dogs were very happy and healthy when we arrived home. They definitely enjoyed having Annalise stop by to see them and walk them. She did very well with pics and notes from each visit. Definitely would book again!! And 100% recommend.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12 yrs old. It’s a passion of mine to make sure all animals are cared for and comfortable. I’m currently about to retire and looking to purse my passion walking, visiting, and playing with animals. My schedule is almost always open for anytime. I have a fenced in backyard I have five friendly babies and one cat. I’m open to any service taking care of your babies at your location or mine.
About: i’ve been pet sitting for the past five years. I also work with a nonprofit dog rescue and foster puppies. I have watched dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a full time job but I can fit pets into my weekends. I can do three drop ins a day for dogs and cats if needed! If you just need one drop in I can after work (5:30 m-f) I do not offer in-home boarding, as I foster and have three dogs of my own. However, I provide attentive and reliable care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection while keeping their environment safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their well-being and happiness.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,853 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shawtown. 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 Shawtown. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
