“Gabby did such a great job with our German shepherd puppy! She asked about specific details or things we wanted her to do during the visit. She sent lots of photos and worked on her tricks! The rover app was glitching so she left a hand written note on our counter also.”
“Cameron did a wonderful job with our dogs! She sent updates with each check-in, and her communication was great throughout. We will definitely choose her to watch our dogs again!”
“Elise is a fantastic pet sitter! She’s reliable, a great communicator, and always leaves everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, our kitties are happy and content when we get home, which gives us tremendous peace of mind whenever we travel. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, different breeds and temperaments, taking care of them along with my family. I have walked multiple dogs together for friends, and am a perfectionist when it comes to providing good care for your furry family members! I am active, so I can play with your pet as much as needed, and haven’t met a dog who didn’t enjoy my company :). I am currently a full time Doctor of Physical Therapy student at WSSU, and don’t have a part time job so I have plenty of time to dedicate towards dog sitting! Monday and Wednesday are the only days I have more than 4 hours of class, as I have class from 8-12 then from 1:30-3:15ish, so I would have time to stop in for a potty break before I go to that last class. I am generally free on the weekends unless I have them marked off on my schedule already! If you have any further questions about my schedule please feel free to ask! I can use whatever facilities/toys are provided to me to help care for your pets, and am willing to learn what your pets habits are! I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe with me being there, so I will strive to make my presence seem as normal as possible. I am always willing to take advice and notes on how to better care for your animals in your home!
“It’s clear that she has cat energy because my nervous foster kitten loved to play with her. She also got my senior cat to play like when he was a baby. Absolutely amazing.”
“Megan was a thoughtful catsitter. She left me messages about how the cats were reacting, attached cute pictures to the cards and communicated appropriately. I will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and coworkers since high school. From personal experience with my own pets to drop in visits for neighbors and friends, my love for animals drives me to provide thorough care with lots of cuddles (only if they like them, of course). I work a 9-5 schedule, so my mornings and evenings are always free to take care of your furry friends! My consistent schedule allows me to dedicate time to your pet's breakfast and dinner needs. I have years of experience with home visits! I will make sure I don’t leave a trace while taking care of your pets, whether that means cleaning dishes, consistently picking up in the yard, cleaning litter boxes, or whatever else you may need! I am happy to stay around for cuddles or be in and out, whatever fits your schedule and needs.
About: I have grown up with dogs and taken care of friends’/neighbors’ dogs and cats regularly since high school! I love all animals and look forward to meeting yours :) I am a graduate student with the flexibility to go home/to your house in the morning, during lunch, and after 5pm or overnight for walks, mealtime, playtime, and potty breaks! I am comfortable with nearly all cats and dogs and will follow any instructions you leave closely! I love to take walks or go to dog parks/dog friendly places if you are comfortable with that!
“Oakley had a blast! Hailey was available to drop in on Oakley several times throughout the day. She always kept me updated and sent several cute photos. I would trust Hailey to watch Oakley again.”
About: I worked in the vet field for 5 years doing anything you can think of! I have lots of experience administering medication both orally and by injection. I also have a lot of experience taking care of pups of all ages from puppies to seniors! My boyfriend, Jose, and I have 2 playful girls that always love to make new friends and we have a huge fenced in yard for them to be safe and have fun in the sun! We also have 3 cats who have their own room with 2 cat trees and lots of toys that they would love to share with another friend! Jose and I have fostered many dogs and cats over the past 5 years and even have a foster fail of our own! We love to help any fur baby we can and our door will always be open for yours too! Please let us know anything and everything there is to know about your fur baby so we can make them feel safe and comfortable with us while you’re away! Their happiness and comfort is our priority! Jose is home during the week to love on, play with and care for your fur babies! We also have open availability on the weekends and are always active and would love to spoil and love your fur babies like they’re our own! We are also available in the evenings so let us help you out by taking care of the furry member of your family! We have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly pups that would love a friend to play with! I have a car to get around and can bring your pup to the park!
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities, including administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, companionship during a drop-in visit, or extra patience and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and so I have a lot of flexibility on weekdays for drop-ins and/or walks. I have the most availability on weekends if you go out of town and want someone to stop by multiple times to check on your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away. I also understand that I’m a guest in your home. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“Amaya was very attentive to our cat while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone with an eye for detail and love for animals!”
“Emily is the best sitter I’ve used on this app! She’s very responsive and caring for my kitties. I have some odd feeding instructions and she does it perfectly! Highly recommend!”
“Madeline was so fantastic to have as a sitter for my cat! She was very communicative and responsive, was attentive and friendly, and did a great job caring for my cat. She sent many video and photos as well as updates on food, and disposition. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
“Amanda is great! Prior to our first appointment she met me for a Meet and Greet to go over our routine with my dog Dottie. For our scheduled drop-in Amanda was on time, followed our routine, sent pics and spent time with Dottie. We will definitely use Amanda again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Lexi, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for a long walk or a senior dog who prefers a slower, more relaxed stroll, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I have experience caring for senior dogs, including providing extra patience and attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. I’m also comfortable administering medications and giving shots when needed, so you can feel confident that your pet’s care routine will be maintained while you’re away. I understand that your pets are family, and their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and committed to making every visit or walk a positive experience. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and care tailored specifically to them. 🐶🐱❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! I’m currently working from home full time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible! I can make most schedules work, or work with you to find the perfect timing! I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions you provide. During walks, I prioritize safety and make sure your pet gets the appropriate amount of exercise and stimulation for their age, energy level, and abilities. I’ll also provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, safe, and cared for—and for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winston-Salem
Haley did an incredible job with our dog, Roti! We received consistent updates, great communication, and Haley was flexible with scheduling changes. Very professional, friendly, and intentional in approach, I’d certainly trust Haley with my pets for check-ins, walks, and stays!
Claudia was amazing with my cat Macaroni! She did 2x a day check-ins for two weeks and was so consistent with updates and daily pictures. She is very thorough and friendly and I could tell that she took great care of my boy. Of course she took care of his basic needs, but she also spent time with him every day. I’ve never seen him so happy and healthy after returning from a long trip! I will happily book with Claudia again! Truly couldn’t have had a better or easier experience. Thank you Claudia!
Kirsten was great! She stepped in to help with some cat-sitting in a last-minute situation and was very responsive and kind. She took lots of pictures and videos and was able to get a shy, skittish cat to be playful and fun during the time she spent with her. Kirsten is obviously great at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone needed their dogs or cats watched. She is caring, attentive and communicative and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away!
Meredith was absolutely incredible! We were so excited to get her updates every day and could tell how genuinely she cared for our kitties. She was so sweet and responsive, and I felt that she went above and beyond in keeping me updated and informed while we were away. We will be asking her to watch our babies again for sure!
Paisley was absolutely wonderful! We were able to travel for a long vacation without worrying about our 2 kitties, and when we came home everything was clean and both kitties were calm and happy - they had been so well cared for. Paisley kept us updated daily and was very thoughtful in doing extra little things like bringing in packages that arrived while we were gone. We will definitely ask for her services again!
Chelsea was awesome! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with consistent messages and photos, which we really appreciated. Our dog can be reactive at times, and Chelsea was incredibly patient and understanding throughout his stay. We would absolutely recommend her and would trust her to watch our dog again!
Elise is a fantastic pet sitter! She’s reliable, a great communicator, and always leaves everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, our kitties are happy and content when we get home, which gives us tremendous peace of mind whenever we travel. Highly recommend!
Tara was great. Shadow and Angel both love to see her and seemed really excited when I got home from work. They even both had a little accident with one getting sick the first day, and I really appreciate Tara cleaning up as best she could so I didn't come home to too bad of a mess. Great communication and my babies definitely got great care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Winston-Salem on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 1,505 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Winston-Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Winston-Salem 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 with handling special pet needs in Winston-Salem. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
