“Angela is amazing! She treats our dogs like they are her family. She checked in every time she visited, took pictures documenting the meds she was giving, and took pictures of the doors and gates closed when she left, which greatly eased my anxiety about being away. She asked questions when necessary rather than assuming or guessing, and worked with my "helicopter mom" tendencies with much grace. I would recommend her care to everyone! Plus, her Christian faith is much appreciated!”
About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
“Dave took great care of our cats! We could go on vacation and know they were would be looked after and loved! I will definitely have Dave look after our cats whenever we have to be away!”
“Kelsey gave great care to my two kitties. My kitty Barb hides from EVERYONE but me and my husband, but after just a couple of days of visits she started coming out for Kelsey. I look forward to booking with her again!!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Maria did an amazing job taking care of my cat when I was gone. She took the time to take pictures and send them to me. She played with her and gave her extra love. I will definitely be using Maria again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
About: As of this time, I am only open for, dog walking, drop ins, etc. i will give your furry friend all the care it needs. I am a dog trainer with alot of knowledge into special needs, medication, etc. if you need it i probably got it for you! Sadly it has come to the point i must add this. Please respond to me after i send you a response on your request. I understand if you have to figure things out. But i shouldn’t be figuring out whether you want to book or not on the day of just because you don't feel like texting back. From This point on after 48 hours of no response the request will be archived. I apologize for any inconvenience but it makes if difficult to know how many spots i have or to know if i can accommodate another dog. I work from home as a dog trainer. I absolutely adore working with different dog breeds and getting to learn more about body language and the different styles of play and communication between each ones. Im always happy to take care of your furry friend and give them the love and care that they deserve while you are out of town or just need a break from them. I would like to make it clear that our texting hours are between 9am-9pm. Before or after that you will receive a text message the next morning after 9. Updates are usually given every other night around last potty time and are sent with pics/vids as well as a brief written update of how it is going. Occasionally i will send more updates if they are doing something really cute. Due to the amount of times this has happened. I will be adding a $5 late fee once an hour has passed from pickup without communication. Communicating is one thing just not picking up your dog is another. I have both dogs and cats at our house. I am well versed at making sure everyone gets along and separating those who don’t. If you have a dog that doesn’t do well with other dogs never fear, they can have their own area to get away from our pets or other rover dogs.
About: Hello, I'm Bailey. I specialize taking care of dogs that are high energy &/or struggle with anxiety. I’m a natural healer & that extends to our furry friends! I’ve worked in doggy daycares, animal shelters, and even been around for a few dog births! Since then, I have managed a few restaurants and opened a facial business, which has increased my strong sense of reliability, organization, and many hours on my feet! I appreciate the consideration and look forward to meeting your furry friend! I own an esthetics business and am looking for some fun part time work while I build my clientele! I am almost always outdoors and walk a lot myself so I figured hey, let’s add in some furry friends too! Thanks for looking at my profile! My, and your, pets safety is always my first priority. Our animals needs us in the same ways we need them. Making sure they’re stimulated and happy is always my goal.

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.

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 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:
- 92% 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.
