About: Growing up, we always had cats and dogs. We treated our animals like family - birthday cakes and birthday presents! My petsitting golden rule is to treat other peoples animals like I would my own! I currently work Monday-Thursday (and occasionally Fridays). I am available for weekend petsitting and evening drop-ins or dog walking. I have all weekend to love on and care for your pets! I live in a townhome with a small back yard for nighttime potty breaks. I have a large neighborhood with pet friendly sidewalks and I am just around the corner from the dog park in my neighborhood! You dog is free to roam around the house, be confined to the kitchen with gates, or be crated if needed - whatever is best for your dog!

About: I've taken care of others pets for many years and will love them and care for them as if they were my own! I have a four year old spoiled rotten mini dachshund named Winnie, a black cat named Sweetie and a leapard gecko! My neighborhood also has a private pond and walking trail so if your baby loves to go for walks then this is the place for them. I am currently a stay at home mom with three older children that are in school the majority of the day. I will be home to love and care for your pet and give them all the attention they deserve without distractions I have a fenced in backyard with a loving dog of my own to keep your pet company! I only take on 2 to 3 dogs at a time so I can accommodate any specific requests needed for your fur baby such as crating, specific dietary requests, ect. I also have lots of ramps and stairs for smaller dogs and a gate that blocks my staircase leading upstairs.

About: I have had pets all of my life and absolutely love animals! I love meeting new dogs and giving them the most comfortable experience while their humans are on a getaway! I currently have 2 Goldendoodles, Sadie and Duke both under the age of 5 so high energy and big dogs are no problem! Friends and Family members always come to me when they need a sitter because they know how much I adore dogs! I do have experience with special needs animals as well so that is also not a problem. I work from home 8-5 Monday - Friday so if I were staying in your home sitting I would be there all day to attend to the dogs needs and for potty breaks and small bladders! I do not mind walking your dog to go potty throughout the day or meeting the needs specific for your pup. I will always treat your dog just as I would my own!

About: I have dog sat for several friends and family for many years. I'm very active and love walking, running, and hiking. Your dog will get lots of exercise! I have a Chihuahua and love taking care of her. I always have treats and a tennis ball on me. I currently live Uptown, but my kids go to school in Matthews M-F. I'm looking for a flexible gig that will pass time in the area, so I can be around for my kids, and not have to go back and forth from Uptown to Matthews. I regularly take walks at Squirrel Lake Park for the Greenway, and Colonel Beatty Park for the trails. Having the company of your pooch would be wonderful! I take my dog, Callie, on 2-3 mile long walks daily. She is very healthy and happy and your dog will be too. I'm happy to walk your dog with her if they need company, or solo.

“We absolutely loved Avia! She did an amazing job with the drop-in visits for our pup and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always on time, had excellent communication, and sent us pictures with every visit! It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pup and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her hands. It’s an amazing feeling having someone you trust taking care of your pup - and we found that in Avia. We won’t hesitate to use Avia again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and caring! Thank you Avia!”

About: Hello, we look forward to helping provide you with quality, dependable pet care services! We are Davis & Mackenzie, high school sweetheart newly-weds who are certified cat & animal lovers. Our fur babies are our whole entire world! We both came from households full of small animals around our whole lives, and cannot imagine a time where we have not cared for animals. In high school for Valentine's Day, we adopted our sweet Buddy, our senior kitty with asthma and urinary concerns. In college, Mackenzie adopted Lilah as her best friend. Both of our kitties have some special medical needs including asthma inhaler administration, pill administration, and ear drop medication occasionally. We also have traveled frequently with them due to moving and only having family out of state. They have come to Florida, Mississippi, Carolina beaches, and the mountains with us. That being said, we truly understand the feeling that no one can care for your animals like you do! And we hope we can alleviate those fears for others. Our dog Honey also has some particular medical needs revolving around allergies and anxiety, and we have a great extent of caring for her as well. Both of our cats require four small meals, multiple litter scoops, and lots of playtime a day, so we get it. We more than willing to offer multiple drop ins on weekend days and stay extended time if needed to alleviate any comfort worries. Our cat Lilah often tries to eat hazardous items, so we are absolutely meticulous about cleaning up charging cords, plastic wrappers, rubber bands, strings, shoes, you name it and promise to provide that same care to your animals. We have extensive cat toys that we can bring to play with your cats too, as we know how important continued enrichment is for them. We are highly knowledgable about diet restrictions and ways to provide value to our cats' quality of life. We want to leave them in better spirits and your home in better condition than when we arrived! While our children have special needs that make them our whole world, we wanted to open our evenings and weekends to helping care for other fur children! We realized how nice it was to finally have a sitter for our animals after anxiously travelling with them for years, and would love to continue to help others with the same needs! In order to save more pets from shelters, we would love to be part of someones "village" that they can rely on to check in our their cats. In our free time we love visiting the cat cafes locally too. Davis works full time with some WFH days where he could do a brief drop in around lunch or very early morning. Mackenzie is a full time student continuing her college education as a medical assistant. That being said, she has more availability on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as weekends with Davis. We are unable to offer boarding in our home currently, nor can we offer overnights due to our animals. However, we can definitely stay late nights or early mornings on occasion! We promise to be extremely respectful of your home, treat your fur babies like our own, and be effective communicators! While Mackenzie and Davis primarily focus on feline or small dog care, we also are capable of small animal care of any kind, so please do inquire! As pet parents of 3 high needs animals, we are always doing something surrounding the care of our animals. That being said, we are currently unable to offer boarding in our home or staying overnights elsewhere. We have pretty open WEEKEND availability, as well as some early mornings, some evenings, and some midday availability depending on proximity and duration needed. Any messages asking about our availability will always receive a response! In general, our schedule openness is as follows: Monday & Wednesdays: 5-7am, 12-1pm sometimes, & 5:30-9pm Fridays: 5-7:30am and 2-10pm. Saturday + Sunday: Very open availability with sufficient notice! Please make an inquiry:) We also want to note that our base rate is set for us as a couple, so $19 if we both show up, or $19 if only one of us can make it too. We do most things together by choice, and our rate covers us both within the couple:) We are looking forward to offering drop in services! We will treat your animals and home with the absolute most respect, consideration, and care that we can. We love to provide thorough play time, adequate meals and litter scooping, and making sure messes are cleaned. We will be punctual and courteous, communicating effectively with continued updates. We are happy to send photos every time! We take most bookings as a couple (buddy system for safety & efficiency!) unless otherwise noted due to one person's scheduling conflict. We are unable to board animals in our home or offer overnights at this time.

Christina was great, she wasn’t scared away by my one dog’s less than warm welcome. I felt completely comfortable with her caring for my dogs in my home. Christina is very quick to respond.

This is the second time we’ve booked Carson, this time just for some drop-in visits for our diabetic cat over a weekend trip, and she outdid herself yet again! It’s critical that he has enough food in his system to receive his insulin injection to prevent his blood sugar from getting too low, so when he decided to go on a hunger strike out of retaliation of us leaving town (🙄) she stayed at our house longer than originally agreed upon and tried several different methods to get him to eat and eventually was successful. This just goes to show she clearly cares so incredibly much about the welfare of the animals under her care, as if they’re her own! We will definitely continue rebooking with Carson anytime she’s available!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Stallings

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stallings is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $36 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 5,230 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stallings. 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 Stallings. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
