I also have a soft spot for rescues — I’ve taken in more than a few over the years, including cats, dogs, and even birds. Yup… parrot/wild bird experience too. My home is basically a safe-haven full of spoiled, happy furballs and feathers. If you’re nervous about leaving your baby with someone new, totally get it. I’m always happy to chat, send pics/updates, and answer questions so you feel good about who’s caring for your pet.

My days revolve around my pets, I work from home so I have availability to be here or there when needed, before my full time job starts up I have even more availability! All my animals are free roam, I have a large fenced in yard, all my cats love all my dogs and vice versa. My house is pet friendly and designed for safety and ease of loving and protecting all my babies.

I offer drop-in and extended stay services in or around the Greenville NC area. Let's get those tails wagging! I have a lot of free time and love to spend time with my own pets.

“Incredible as always, puts so much effort in tending to my girls especially when they’ve been in transitions in trying out a new feeder they weren’t adjusting well to, she even tried to download the app for the feeder to get it to work. Really appreciate her dedication, flexibility, and thoughtfulness :)”
“I needed a dog sitter for a couple of hours and reached out to Rob. He responded quickly and was very courteous. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet girl in his care. She also appeared to be comfortable with Rob. I initially selected Rob because his profile stated that he was a dog trainer. I hope to have some training sessions in the near future. I'm so happy that I found a caring sitter that is very knowledgeable about dogs! Rob will be my go-to sitter from now on.”

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a kid! My family owns and runs a farm so my entire life has been about taking care of animals needs and making sure they are healthy! I have always had an affinity for all pets no matter how big or small! My #1 priority is making sure they’re taken care of, safe, and loved when their parents are gone! I am currently a senior at WCU, but I live here near Greenville and will be here for the whole summer, holidays, and most weekends! I’m currently self-employed and have a lot of extra time on my hands to help take some time off of yours! I have a very large backyard that is fenced in, all my dogs love to run around in it. My furr baby, Cherry, is crate trained and loves to spend most of her time inside!
About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend. I go to church every Sunday but should be gone no more than 4 hours :) I try my best to establish and follow comfortable boundaries with pet parents and pets alike and I carefully follow instructions left to me to the best of my ability :)
“Kristen took care of our babies while we were out of the country, she communicated very well throughout and was punctual. Everything I asked of her she did perfectly! She kept our cats fed and happy while we were gone, will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Jewls! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had dogs since childhood, cared for pets of all kinds, and even rescued stray cats. I truly believe animals are like babies: they can’t advocate for themselves, so it’s up to us to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. What sets me apart is my natural empathy and attentiveness. I don’t just “watch” pets — I bond with them, pay attention to their unique needs, and make sure they feel comfortable and happy every step of the way. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, your pet will be treated like family. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from tiny kittens to big pups with big personalities. Animals naturally gravitate toward me because they can feel the love and patience I bring. You’ll always have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Availability & Flexibility: I currently have a very flexible schedule. I do part-time delivery work, which allows me to structure my day around the pets in my care. If your pet needs more constant presence, I’m absolutely able to prioritize staying home full-time during the booking — I just ask that extended, full-time care be reflected in the rate. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the level of attention and care you want, whether that’s frequent check-ins or me being there most of the day. I’m also very clean, respectful of your home, and make sure everything looks just as good (or better!) than when you left. 💛 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. My set availability is: • Fridays – All day • Saturdays – All day • Thursdays – Afternoons This schedule allows me to give your pet the attention, love, and care they need without being rushed. When your pet is with me, they’re treated just like family. I’m very attentive and make sure to follow their routine exactly — from meal times and walks to playtime and snuggles. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe and understood, so I focus on giving them comfort, patience, and plenty of love. I pay close attention to the little things: their body language, energy level, and needs, making sure they’re happy and relaxed. Whether it’s long walks, fun play sessions, or calm cuddle time, I adapt to each pet’s personality. My goal is always to keep them safe, cared for, and loved, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in the best hands.
“Katlyn did a wonderful job with our babies. She was able to help us out on short notice, which was really appreciated. She seemed very knowledgeable about dealing with many different dog personalities and did really well dealing with Dakota, who is skittish around new people. I would definitely recommend Katlyn to watch your pets.”

We are located in a small country setting away from busy streets and close neighbors.
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
About: I am a person who lives alone and loves animals. I have 5 years of experience taking care of my neighbors' pets. I Love the pets I don't work, so I'm free all week to take care of the pets. I really like going for walks and the outdoors with pets They have a safe space to be inside my home, they can be on the furniture without any problem. they will always be safe And good
About: I’ve pet sit for dogs and cats for 3 years now! My friends, family and neighbors can always rely on me to care for their pets! I currently work 2 part time jobs. Wednesday- Friday I work in the mornings from 7am-2pm and Saturday- Tuesday I work 4pm- 11pm. So although I might be very busy I will always make time for your pets! I am able to feed them, bathe them, brush them, take them on walks, let them out for potty breaks and would love to play with them!
About: I am available for all types of doggy care. I’m a dog lover with two of my own. I have been dog sitting for around 8 years as well as worked with dogs of all types at Red Oak Country Kennels. I work from 2:30-5:30, but other than that I can be there at any hour to care for your pup and provide whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own, as well as two cats. I can keep in a crate if needed, and will adapt to any preferences you have for your pup.
About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

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 Tarboro 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. 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.

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 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.
