Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waynesville
Kiera is amazing !! She b previously taken care of our two cats and knew she was going to be my go to. I know my pets will be well taken care of as if they were her own. Communication is great and she always sends pictures every time she’s with them which we love. Definitely recommend her !
Janis was amazing and really helped us out when we needed someone last minute. She took great care of Rocket, made sure he was fed and able to get outside, and kept us updated while we were away. She was reliable, responsive, and gave us peace of mind knowing he was taken care of. We really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again!
Lindsey was amazing! She swooped in last minute and saved the day (and I mean LAST MINUTE! She was there within the hour)! Unfortunately, my “Plan A” fell thru and I had to find someone to check on my three doggies at the last minute. She took great care of each of them and followed all our instructions perfectly! She even cleaned up after one of the doggies had an accident. She will definitely be my “Plan A” next time!
I hate leaving my pups and kitty but unfortunately some places are not pup friendly. I love the fact that even when I am gone my pups and cat are getting love and attention. My fur babies are very important to me and it's hard finding someone I trust with them but Taylor does an amazing job.
Cassidy has been excellent, trustworthy, flexible, and communicative with us since we started using Rover for drop-in visits. Our two pups love her and she has helped us tremendously while our two pups are learning to adjust to a new schedule. Highly recommend! 10/10.
Abigail was absolutely amazing with my three pets! They all loved her right away, which says a lot especially because my cat usually doesn’t let anyone touch her, but she trusted Abigail enough to let herself be handled and cared for. Abigail was very attentive, followed all the notes I left, and made sure each of my pets was comfortable, clean, and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

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.
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 Waynesville 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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
