About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
“We have been repeat customers of Grace, and she has consistently been fantastic. She is always responsive, caring, and genuinely attentive to Evie's needs. It's clear that she truly cares, and we appreciate her dedication and reliability. We highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate person!”
“Lauren is dependable and thorough. She did a great job taking care of my cats while I was gone and even cleaned up a mess they made without my asking (spilled kibble bin). Would recommend.”
“Molly was amazing with our cats! She was very communicative with us, gave our cats lots of love and care, and stayed longer when one of them started feeling unwell while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“Nicole was great to work with, especially since our travel plans changed at the last minute. She kept us updated on our diabetic cat, and even gave him his twice a day insulin shots. We would definitely book Nicole again.”
About: I’ve been around all types of dogs my whole life, from puppies to seniors. Along with house sitting for family and friends, I have worked in a kennel and with shelter animals. I am also heading towards a career working with animals! I am working, but am flexible with my schedule. I am usually available afternoons and nights on weekdays and on weekends. I can also make mornings work if needed! I have an anxious boy at home who is not great with other animals, so caring for pets in their home would work best for me. I can follow instructions down to the letter and am adaptable to any schedules in place!
“Marek went above & beyond for my requests, he even wiped up the floor when it was raining. He brought & used HIS OWN towel for that. 10/10 would always use his services again!”
“This was Dorian’s first time watching our cat and she did amazong! Our cat is typically very shy to strangers and Dorian took the time to make him feel comfortable while also providing a lot of pictures and updates to us. Very happy with our experience and would book Dorian again!”
“Taylor was great with our dog! Our dog is 90 pounds, a puller, and does not do well with other dogs. I always get nervous allowing other people walk her. Taylor did great with her! I loved all the pictures she sent. The pictures and the notes reassured me that our dog was doing well! I will definitely book with Taylor again!”
“Heather was great with our dog Kemah. She is scared of storms and wind and Heather went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and safe. Great communication and very reliable. Thanks Heather!”
“We love Maja! She’s so great with Sirius black even when he’s a brat. I appreciate her attention to detail and the fact that she treats my puppy like he’s her own.”
“Allison is great! This is the second time I’ve used her to watch my dog while I was out of town and she did a great job. Plenty of pictures, belly rubs, and great communication. Thank you again! 🙂”
“Marilyn was awesome! This was my first time using Rover, and we were out of town for several days. Marilyn made the whole thing so easy and even picked up an extra visit at the last minute, allowing us to extend our trip another day. She sent photos and kept us in the loop. I'll book with her any time we're away!”
“Lauren helped me in a pinch for a last minute drop in. She was quick to do a meet and greet. My dog Ted was very excited to meet her and enjoyed his time with her during her drop in!”
“Yall - our cat Bombur has had some medical issues and needed a specific medication regimen in addition to the two other cats she was helping us with. My most scared cat came up to her! She has the best energy. She sent photos and went above and beyond.”
“Tania has become apart of the family. She is one of the most loving and wonderful friend to us and to our puppies. Since Tania has been watching Logan and Thanos they have improved with walking on the leash and potty training. Tania is top notch and we know our babies are in good hands.”

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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southport. On Rover:

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.
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.
