“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our pup( Pitbull/oversized lap dog). She was flexible with our needs and she stayed true on her punctuality. She even was able to clip our pups nails which is a god send. If we weren’t moving, Kelly would be our go to Rover. THANK YOU!”
About: While i love my fur babies, i have had a range of experience with all things such as reptiles, farm animals, fish, bunnies and even a spider or two! 🕷️🦎🐓🦆🐄🐎🐢🐠🐈🐕🐇🦜 I work full time 4 days a week but can always drop in before/after my shifts & of course anytime during my weekend! While sometimes my wife is away sitting, I’m at home with our babies. 🐾 I really go all out for my fur babies (spoiled rotten)🫢🤗 So you can expect me to take the best care of your fur babies & treat them as they are my own.🖤
About: I got my first puppy when I was 10 years old a tan Pitbull named Max he taught me so much growing up how to love an animal more than yourself. He is 12 years old now and still my baby although I’ve moved out of my parents home and into my own I have 2 babies of my own now, a 1 year old lab named Penny and a 11 year old Maltese Mix named Luna. Luna has super bad separation anxiety so I know how hard it is to leave a pet even just to go to work for the day. I love Cats and I would own one if it weren’t for my Fiancé's allergies, in fact any cat I’ve ever been around has always loved my company thankfully. I love all animals and I plan to take care of them as if they were my own! I’ve dog/cat “sat” for years for family friends of friends and neighbors travelled all the way to Emerald Isle to dog sit for a family friend I’ve done countless walks drop ins and more! I work Monday-Thursday 7-5 so visits after 5 are fine with me on those days if needed! Friday-Sunday are my free days for visits or walks! I offer walking and drop in services due to having my own babies to take care of, I can work on training practice for them and whatever else you may need!
“Ashley was amazing! She watched our dogs while we were out of the country and was very communicative. She was consistent with visit times and sent pictures each time. We felt super comfortable and were able to relax on vacation knowing our dogs were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I grew up surrounded by animals, so taking care of pets comes naturally to me. From dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship, I understand the unique needs of each pet and always provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet will be in great hands with me, whether it's a relaxing cuddle session or an active playtime adventure! I’m excited to offer reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services. Let me help take the stress out of leaving your pet behind – they'll be in good hands! I work 9-6 M-F with an hour lunch break. I live in very close proximity to my job, so easy for me to drop in. I don’t have a yard, but my complex has a dog park. The neighborhood is full of pets and everyone’s friendly. I love going on walks so that’s something we will do. I love to play with animals. I don’t mind sleeping with animals, or them being on furniture. I do keep my home clean & sanitized.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have been pet sitting for 13 years. I grew up with Newfoundlands at home so I have lots of experience caring for and walking doggies of all sizes! I also have ample experience with dogs that have specific, special, or advanced needs, as well as a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I’m currently employed as an independently contracted mental health therapist and have availability during the weekdays and weekends as I build up a full case load. I would love to fill this time with dog walking and other pet care, if I can! My schedule is fairly flexible so I can be available to check in/care for dogs during normal business hours. I’m also open to staying overnight at clients’ homes to meet the needs of their dog if necessary!
About: Since I was in high school, I’ve taken care of my friends’ and family members’ pets, anywhere from a few days long to a few weeks. I just moved here, so I’m readily available! I don’t mind taking time out of my day or night to take care of a companion because I know how much they mean to us :) I will take care to keep your home clean and safe for your pet. Whatever schedule your pet is on I will happily follow! I love going for walks so some company would be lovely.
“This was our first time booking Tayler to care for our pets while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She came by for an initial meet-and-greet, was professional, and took the time to get to know our pets and their routine. Throughout our trip, Tayler communicated clearly, provided updates, and cared for our pets as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such great hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. By the end of our vacation, we knew without a doubt that we’d be booking with her again. We highly recommend Tayler to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. Our yard in a quiet neighborhood is not fenced, but we can & will take as many leashed walks as needed. In the house, we have a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.
“Nicole was great! She did drop-in care for our three dogs very last minute. She was on time, gave updates & photos, & the pups seemed happy. I would book her again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Erin, thank you so much for caring for our pet family recently. Our furbabies are in the best hands with you! Thank you for loving them as much as we do. We'll call on you again soon! Take care!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I could remember I’m constantly told that I have a vibe that dogs love. I use to take care of an elderly dog for a family friend and I enjoyed it so much. So why not help others with their dogs! I’m a stay at home mom which means I have tons of free time for all dog needs and wants and even healthy conditions and tons of love I have a large dog park right next to my complex that hardly many dogs go to and even has some training equipment inside for extra exercise
About: I have over three years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walks and feeding to playtime and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which lets me give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m especially available on weekends and can easily help with longer stays, walks, or drop-in visits when needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I stick closely to your instructions—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk preferences, or any special care needs. I also make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for, keeping their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes so your dog can stay in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to give them a positive, comfortable experience. I’m a full-time student at UNC, which gives me a relatively flexible schedule during the week. I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine and give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. I’m especially open and available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate longer stays, walks, or drop-in visits as needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owners’ instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk preferences, and any special care needs. I always supervise interactions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure dogs feel calm and comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat every dog with patience, respect, and the same level of care I would expect for my own.
About: I am truly a dog lover (actually just an overall animal lover!) I have watched all my friends' dogs and have a lot of clients where I spend the night at their place. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I have no problem giving medication if need be. I will also send you pictures and updates on your pet. I am in an apartment but live on the lower floor and have a yard right outside my door. My complex also has a fenced-in dog park where I take the dogs daily. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and spoil them with love. I have no problem going to or spending the night with your pet if that is what you feel comfortable with.
“Kimberly came to check in on Bella; was raining-that didn't stop Kimberly☔️. She is very punctual and caring and made sure Bella had her potty break. She also is a great comminicater and photographer.”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet owner with hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, and other small animals. I have my own cat, my rescued baby, Neko, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, trustworthy, and attentive caring for your pet. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and following detailed routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior and always prioritize safety and comfort. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and will happily send photos and updates during every visit so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for. My schedule can vary depending on my RBT work, but I usually have good availability in the mornings and can often accommodate daytime visits as well. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to coordinate care around each pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make safety a priority. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, follow feeding and medication routines exactly, and make sure pets are comfortable before I leave. I also send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: I have grown up with all types of animals; cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even horses! I take pet care very seriously and enjoy getting to know new fur babies and their personalities. I can drop in in the afternoons around lunch and in the evenings during the week, and on weekends I am free all day to check on your pets. I will make sure your pets get love and attention and not just a quick pop in visit (unless specifically requested). I like to make sure the pet feels safe and secure in their environment while I take care of them

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wendell
We couldn't be happier with the care our Sophia provided for our three dogs during our vacation! We have one energetic puppy and two senior dogs, all with very different needs, and they were all cared for with so much patience, love and compassion She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs were comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of affection while we were away. Coming home to three happy, relaxed pups meant everything to us. I highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive. We will definitely be booking with ther again!
So great with Ava, my pup. I was away out of town for several days, and I could tell that my dog was loved on really well because she did not act anxious when I arrived in the door or need for attention. I could tell she had gotten lots of rubs and cuddles. Just what you want for your pup when you’re away.

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 Wendell 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
