“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.”
“Pannikar was great with our pups and followed all our instructions! We really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent us - she really helped us feel at ease while we were away. We highly recommend her and hope she is available in the future if our pups need her!”
“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.”
“Melody is so awesome! She came over right on schedule every day and sent pictures and videos of my kitties so I knew they were taken care of. She stayed and played with them for a while too which I loved because they are very social cats. She went above and beyond what I could have expected for my first time using the Rover app. We will definitely be booking her again!”
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! ”
“Cheyenne did an amazing with Charlie! Charlie is not an easy dog to dog-sit and can be anxious around strangers but Cheyenne was so patient with him and took such good care of him while I was gone, even played with him and gave him lots of scratches! Would definitely book her again!”
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!
“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 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: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals, combined with extensive experience and a commitment to personalized care. Unlike others who may treat pet sitting as just a job, I view it as a passion, ensuring that each pet receives the attention, affection, and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and preferences, providing tailored care that ensures they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekend routine, thanks to my flexible schedule. This flexibility allows me to move freely throughout the day, ensuring that my pets receive the attention and care they need. I can take breaks to go on walks, engage in playtime with their favorite toys, and provide timely meals and treats. Even during my busiest workdays, I make sure to set aside moments for cuddling and bonding on the couch, ensuring their emotional and physical well being is always prioritized. Weekends offer additional opportunities for longer walks and extra play sessions, making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday life. Given my work arrangement, I offer greater flexibility than most. However, I kindly request that you respect my time. For scheduling, please ensure pick-up and drop-off times fall within a two-hour window to allow me to provide the best possible service. Additionally, I am open to accommodating late pick-ups if notified in advance of your booking. Meet and Greets are available upon request, and I typically limit them to one hour, as I’m able to adjust my break throughout the week. I’m also available on weekends, preferably on Sundays between 11 AM and 2 PM. My priority is ensuring that owners feel completely comfortable leaving their fur babies in my care. I have a deep background in caring for animals, which reflects my passion and commitment to their well being. I love taking my pets on daily walks, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is filled with a variety of treats and toys, providing constant stimulation and enjoyment. Additionally, I cherish the moments we spend cuddling on the couch, fostering a bond built on love and affection. My dedication to their happiness and health is unwavering, and I strive to create a nurturing and joyful environment for them every day.
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.
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!

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.

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.
