“Lindsey was very communicative about our dog. When it rained, she played with him and let him in the yard instead of dragging him on a walk (he doesn’t love rain). I appreciated her communication and flexibility. We will definitely have her take care of our dog again!”
“Taylor provided exceptional pet care from start to finish. She treated my pets with warmth and patience, and it meant so much that she was able to get my senior dog to play , something she rarely does with new people. Taylor followed all instructions flawlessly, communicated consistently, arrived on time, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and notes about their routines. I’m very grateful she accepted the request and would confidently book her again.”
“Molly is amazing! She cared for our puppy George and provided great tips for grooming, training, etc. She honored our obedience goals, shared behavior feedback, and most of all loved on George during her visits. We will be rebooking with her without hesitation. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“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.”
About: I have experience raising five dogs from puppyhood from 8 weeks old. I work well engaging dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I am currently a mom of four large bunting breeds. I am great with handling dogs with anxiety as well as those that have social and/or separation issues. I am able to run your dogs is preferred over a long walk. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your needs accordingly. If a client has any special requests, I am generally always able to accommodate. I have a fenced yard with sufficient land for play (about a 1/4 acre). The inside of the house has plenty of room as well the the basement is a designated pet play area.
“Melody is an amazing pet sitter!! She took great care of our kitty while we were away on vacation. She sent us videos, pictures and frequent updates. It was comforting to know everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Melody to anyone with a pet sitting need!!”
About: Hello! My name is Melissa, and thanks for checking out my profile. Im new to Rover, but not animals care. I had a steady client, house sitting two dogs, but that is now too far away. That job was in-house care with my dog and all that included all that comes with it, feeding, playing and much more. Please let me know if I can be the one to help you! I've been an optician for 7yrs and am studying to get special certification. I do work part time as an optician locally. The job is only few days a week from 9-4. With enough notice I can make changes in regards to scheduling. Besides that I love going to the river with my dog or am just as happy sitting on the couch. I like a good schedule: something for me to follow, to know exactly what you expect and need. My dog and I walk in the mornings and after work or let out back on a lead, depending on weather. I am always outside with her. I take care of my cat litter everyday or every other. Swiffer everyday! I don't know how the litter travels everywhere!! Drives me nuts!
“Brianna was an amazing last minute book! She came to my house for an emergency meet and greet of my 4 large dogs so I could book her the same day as I had to leave state! 10/10 would definitely recommend this wonderful lady to come watch your pets!”
“Elizabeth has been SO incredible with my dog and is so easy to work with. I travel frequently for business and knowing that she is taking care of my baby while I am gone is so comforting. She sends me updates while I am gone and works with my schedule in order to make sure that my pup is well cared for. I would highly suggest her! ”
“Kiera took amazing care of our two cats while we were away over Christmas! She was so responsive and kind, and really went above and beyond to make sure our kitties had everything they needed.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life but specifically dogs. I feel they are true angels and as much as I’d love to own 10 of them, I can’t so this is the next best thing! I’m currently a stay-at-home mother of two children and we have our puppy, Nala. I have all the free time to take care of pets and make sure they’re constantly comfortable, loved, and checked on. I do have one extra large dog kennel. If you want to bring your own kennel, that is also totally fine! I have extra dog bowls as well, but again if you want to bring your own, totally fine! I have a safe, fenced in yard. I like to do outside time as much as possible so the dogs can get their energy out and if you have a food schedule, I can follow it!
About: I got my first puppy this year. Zoey is a 4lb yorkie! I potty trained her, and taught her many tricks! She gets tired fairly quickly, so I would love if another dog could tag along! I work a lot, but would love to walk your dogs on my off time! I unfortunately do not have a set schedule so it is hard to book super far in advance I currently live on post. With the warm weather coming in I’m ready to start my walks! We can stay home and play or go on walks!
About: Having dogs myself, you can find comfort in my experience from puppies to adult dogs. I have a dachshund and a Pyrenees boxer, with experience with a range of breeds in between. I work full time overnights on the weekend, and am completely available throughout the week to take care of your fur baby! I am usually home all day throughout the week, with the exception of running errands and going to the gym. Having a full house, I am completely understanding and flexible to your needs and expectations. When it comes to walks and feeding, and everything in between, I am very comfortable with whatever your furmilys needs are so that everyone is safe and sound.
“Cheyenne was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my boy and was great at communicating with me! When we had to cut our trip short she even gave us a refund for the visits we didn't need her to do. Definitely recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!!! Thanks so much Cheyenne!!!!!!”
About: I am a dog loving person and want to help your little loved ones feel as special as they are every day. My husband and I are on our fourth dog, so I have personal experience on a few different dog personalities. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, administering medicine, dogs with allergies. I have experience with dogs post surgery. I’m flexible with work schedules and know how quickly things can change! I’ve used regular weekly drop in sitters before and know how life saving it can be when you need your pets cared for but life gets in the way! I’m here to help! I am currently at home full time with a flexible schedule! Reliable car that can get to and where you need me to be. Two dogs of my own that still need to be cared and loved for. I create a trusting and caring environment for your dog. I can deal with crated dogs that need to stretch their legs or just some extra love and attention throughout the day. Happy to send lots of pictures and updates!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waynesville
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.
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!

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 Waynesville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
