“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive when we updated her with tips and last minute concerns with our cats. She updated us with pictures and made sure each of our cats was doing well while we were away. We will definitely be trusting Kelsey to care for our pets in the future.”
“Grace checked on my dog at last notice and she was very friendly and personable. Would definitely recommend her as a reliable caregiver!! Will be using her again for sure.”
“Natalie has been wonderful every time she has watched my babies. My cat is always waiting at the door for her so he has someone to play with. She takes plenty of pictures and is great at communicating. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I love animals, and I would love to start getting out of my house more. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12, and would love to get back into it. I am good at basic training things such as : sit, stay, lay down, and I can also teach them to play dead. I don't mind feeding them or bathing them either. I can't wait to meet your fury companions! I have two littles and would love for us to start getting out of the house. I am basically always free, and would love to take care of your fury family members! I have fenced yard if I were to have your pet at my home. I also have a female dog who is super energetic while outside. I own a dog crate as well, just in case. Depending what I am booked for, I love to play with all pets. Usually if I have time during a booking I will play and give pets to my clients as if they were my own.
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”
About: I am an experienced sitter who has also worked at a pet grooming and boarding salon. I have training with giving meds and etc also if needed. I am well versed with young and old pets also. I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, and more! During my stay with your fur baby I will love them as much as possible and you will recover lots of pictures and updates! This is my job full time right now so I am fully committed to you and your pets needs! I dope you consider me in the future for all your pet needs. I am always available for owner or pet needs. I stay in home full-time or as needed and give pets plenty of potty breaks, lots of play time/ attention, and check water/ food bowls regularly depending on their feeding schedule. I give lots of love and treat your pets like my own while in the home!
About: I love dogs. I have two large dogs of my own, one being a senior dog. I have also taken dog training classes and puppy classes. I’m available to dog-sit, walk, or house sit any day and at any time. I am currently not working so I have all the time to dedicate to your pet. I am very wary of dogs and their behavior. I don’t push boundaries for your pet and will let you and your pet take the lead!
About: I have always LOVED animals from a very young age and knew it was my passion in life. I have always been dog sitting sense the age of 13 years old. I dog sit for my grandparents, my best friends grandparents, family friends, and also my friends animals. I did work for a dog kennel for a very short amount of time due to other job opportunities, but i loved the dogs there as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you little ones and fall in love with them!! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to help take care of your fur babies while you are at work or away. I have a 15 foot lead that I hook my dog up to for when he wants outside. It gives plenty of room for him to explore while also staying in our yard. I am getting a kennel very soon, so your fur baby will feel safe and sound. I have 1 dog that can keep your dog company and help them be more comfortable!!
“✨ 10/10 recommend Payton! ✨ She is amazing with animals and truly loves what she does. My wild, high-energy boys adore her, and she handles them with patience, care, and lots of love. Payton is dependable, communicative, and treats your pets like family. Having her watch your dogs feels like having a trusted friend come over to spoil them while you’re away. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had pets for over 12 years and have dog sat for a few people before so I know what is expected and how to make a new furry friend. I currently am on summer break from college and taking appointments until August 9th. I own a landscape company so I work the hours of my choice so I’m pretty flexible with scheduling. I love for animals just like they are a human, I am very respectful, responsible and patient when it comes to animals. Pets have my full heart.
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them whether it's going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I've helped care for pets for friends and family over the years and know how important it is for them to feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm reliable, easy to communicate with, and always make sure pets get the attention they deserve. I also have two senior pups of my own at home, well versed with dogs at all stages of life! I own a food trailer that operates mostly on the weekends and bartend a couple of nights a week. My days are free to drop in for visits or walks at this time Monday - Wednesdays. I will always leash your dog prior to leaving the house and will be careful upon entry. If you do not have a fenced in yard for a drop in visit then I will leash them.
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They hold a special place in my heart, and they are considered family with me. I currently own two dogs, a West Highland terrier and a Golden Retriever Boxer Mix. My dogs are very well socialized and love meeting new friends! I take pride in the way that I treat my fur babies, and I will treat yours the same. I currently work full time from home as does my husband. During the week I try to take my pups on a walk every other day, and to the dog park at least once a week. Our favorite spot to visit is Lake Norman. I am a trustworthy and responsible dog owner, and I will be happy to treat your pup like family. I am currently home full time so I am able to accommodate the needs of any dogs. I am on the phone quite a bit so they do need to be quiet during my work hours. We also are very accommodating to dogs who can be anxious and do our best to ensure they feel comfortable. I will do my best to understand your dogs needs and treat them with the love and respect you do.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have such a love for them. I know that dogs are more than just pets-they are part of the family! My family has had basset hounds for my whole life, so I have seen and loved them at every stage of life. I’ve done my share of dog care for them, including walking, feeding, giving medicine, ear-care, and brushing fur (my dog’s personal favorite)! I have also taken care of friends’ dogs, ranging all sizes and ages, when they have been out of town as well! I’m currently a teacher on summer break so I have a pretty open schedule! I can be very flexible with what times I am needed and if you need me to be very specific at the times I take care of your pets I will absolutely do that-I know lots of doggos need or get used to certain times for care! If you let me know what areas for walking are at your home, I am happy to follow whatever route you normally go on or would like for them to-same if you have a neighborhood dog park! I’m very active so I’m happy to walk/run with them as far as they need! If you need assistance with my giving them food and/or medicine, just let me know where it is and how much to give and I am happy to do that!
About: I have over 4 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, which has given me strong knowledge in recognizing medical concerns, handling high stress situations, and safely administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Troutman
Alexandra is an absolute ANGEL! She was so wonderful and gave us SUCH peace of mind with how much attentiveness and care she gave to our pets. She is very considerate and great attention to detail for our animals. She checked in and shared photos and answered all of my questions as a worried pet parent. But after her first drop in of the 4 day booking, I was without worry for our trip and at complete peace knowing they were in fabulous hands. I can’t recommend her enough!!!! Our pup Ronan loved her immediately and there is nothing that compares to having our fur babies taken care of in the comfort of our home with someone we trust! We will be booking again whenever we travel! Thank you SO MUCH again, you are amazing!!!!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 3,962 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Troutman. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Troutman 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Troutman choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Troutman with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Troutman. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
