“Kaitlyn was WONDERFUL! This was my first time using Rover and having someone other than family watch my pets (needed additional help since I have a small kitten) and Kaitlyn took such wonderful and detailed care even going above and beyond the required chores to keep my house tidy and always made sure to play with the cats and not just feed and then leave. I am incredibly protective over my cats since they are very sensitive and shy and Kaitlyn was SO lovely that even my shyest girl came out immediately to hang out with her. That is so rare! She made my 2 week trip feel so much easier knowing she had everything taken care and also was incredibly responsive to messages. I highly recommend Kaitlyn for drop-in services and will not only use her again, but will recommend her to my own friends and family! Thank you Kaitlyn!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I have taken care of nearly every kind of domesticated animal at every age, so nothing is too big or too small for me to handle! Today, I have 3 cats and 1 horse that keep me busy, but allow for lots of spare time to help others! I only work part time currently, so Thur-Sat from 10-3, so my schedule is pretty available! I am also very flexible when it comes to timing! I am very detail oriented and follow instructions to a T. The cat rescue i have worked with in the past said i am a "gold tier" cat parent. My cats at home are fed wet canned food with teeth treats twice a day and dried anchovies for omega 3's. They also have access to a rotation of toys that change every week. My dog, who i had for 15 years, went to a doggy daycare 2-3 times a week and we went on a walk everyday with lots and lots of sniff breaks! I also keep a camera in my home to keep an eye on all my pets! I believe in giving the same care to your pets as I do to mine!!
“Carolyn did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty. When things weren't as expected, she communicated with me very quickly and was flexible on her visit time by checking in early the following day when we thought something might be awry. When I need a sitter again, I will definitely be asking her for sitting help in the future!”
“Autumn took great care of my 3 cats . This was the second time I had Autumn do daily visits and I highly recommend her as a reliable and thorough pet sitter. She responded quickly to any questions I had and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing they were doing just fine ! She also brought in my mail and packages and sent photos each visit .”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our 3 cats! She came for a meet and greet beforehand and took time to meet each one individually. She followed all our instructions and provided prompt communication and updates regarding our kids. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Denise will do the extras just as I would. I like to have youtube play music & scenery in the background for everyone. Denise takes care of that and any other detail requests I have to make sure everyone is cozy when Im away. Meds, diet changes, etc. She can handle all of it. Glad I found her, has helped so much.”
“Tina is AMAZING - I can’t recommend her enough. I needed a sitter last minute and she stepped up without hesitation. The plot twist was having to leave her with one of my fur babies getting over an illness. She administered all the meds while I was gone and kept me posted about her progress. She took tons of wonderful pics and my kitties were happy and non-stressed upon my return. I was fortunate to find Tina - I will def be requesting her in future!”
About: I have had pets my entire life and grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and even sometimes quail! I am currently a full-time mom of 1 human child and 3 of the four legged variety. I have cared for a variety of different dog breeds and temperament's. I’m very active and would love to get your dogs outside on walks, runs, or hikes. I have always treated our animals like part of the family and I will treat your pet with the same love, respect, and kindness that I give to my own. My rates reflect quality - but affordable - pet care. I send a lot of picture updates throughout the day in order to set your mind at ease - I know how hard it can be to leave your pet while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule since I am a stay at home mom! Just let me know your current needs and I can likely accommodate most schedules. I am currently not boarding or watching pets in my home, but I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable in their own space. I offer to do long dog walks and play-time so that they go home tired at the end of the day!
“Karmyn was absolutely wonderful for our drop-in visit! She was so thorough and attentive — sent great updates and pictures of all the dogs, made sure everyone was happy, and even left everything spotless. It’s such a relief knowing our pups (and our home!) were in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 💜🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Being the oldest of four children it was my responsibility to walk, feed and prioritize our dogs! And of course they kept me warm sleeping in my bed. I am patient and loving with all animals. Your dogs happiness and well being come first! Pet care is my only job. I will work with you to assure your needs and your pets needs are met. I am flexible with hours and days. I have an indoor cat that is a bit older. She requires vet visits to assure she’s healthy and moving forward daily. I clean her litter box several times a day and sometimes have to clean her backside.
About: I’ve been around dogs and taking of them since I was about 10. I’d regularly watch neighbors dogs as well as my own. I’ve never not been around a dog. I pride myself in providing the best care necessary to make sure every dog gets a pleasant experience with me. I know how to walk, feed, bathe, and take them out when they need to potty. I have plenty of time and availability to watch your fur baby. Anytime you need me, i can be there. I don’t have a busy schedule and I’d love to fill my time with dog sitting/walking. I can keep your doggie company anytime they need. Clingy or not, I’ll be there! I love walking dogs it’s great bonding time. I know how to properly listen and understand each request of how to take care of your fur baby. I can crate them if need be, walk them, take them outside for a potty break, and even play with them!
“Allison, we can't thank you enough for taking care of "Kat" during our two week cruise to Alaska. We were initially hesitant in booking through Rover not knowing what to expect or how the pet sitters were screened to begin with. We're so glad we did and even more thankful that Kat had you to check in on her daily while we were gone. The love you have for animals is evident and again, we are extremely grateful that we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about Kat. Oh, and anytime we got Internet service while in port, first thing we did was check out the "Rover Report." We got a kick out of them! For anyone reading this review, if you're looking for a pet caregiver that is reliable, caring and will love and spend time with your fur baby like her own, look no further and book with Allison. We will definitely be using her again! Erman & Roberta D.”
About: Hi! I’ve been with Rover for 10+ years. As well as nine to five pets for 3 years.I know how important loving, reliable care is. I especially adore Brussels Griffons, but I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and ages. ❤️ I send detailed reports and photo updates on your pups visit and will give them all my attention :) I work remote so I have flexibility to do walks every 2-4 hours. I will be able to come by at various times of day I will have the dog on the leash at all times outside unless noted otherwise. I can take them outside and play within fenced in yard.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waynesville
Through the snow storm! Noone else could make it. Not sure how she made that happen, I think she put the truck in 4wd and went 5mph. The roads werent plowed. She saved the day for those cats. They had no other meal that day. They had food in their belly because she made sure of it. I am so grateful for her.
Carrie G. did an outstanding job of caring for Oreo & Callie! She was patient & kind as they can be skiddish with people they don’t know, especially Callie. Callie actually came out from hiding & let Carrie pet her which is amazing in itself. I will be calling on Carrie G. the next time I need a pet sitter for my cats without a doubt! She is a wonderful person!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

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.
