“Elise was wonderful with our kitties, Henry and Maizey. She was caring, communicative, and took great care of them while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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 pets since I was 10 years old! I have years of experience with cats and dogs and am a happy owner of two cats myself! I love all pets of any age and will provide quality care to give you a piece of mind while your away from your fur babies! I currently working full time at Forsyth County Health Dept; Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. Occasionally, I work until 7pm, but go in later those days, as well as a very short shift on Saturdays. If these shifts ever fall on your requested days, it will be communicated! If it is close enough and I am able, I’m happy to drop in during the day as well to ensure the well being of your fur pals, and give you peace of mind! My goal during my care time is to ensure your fur pals are as comfortable and happy as when you are home; all while giving you plenty of updates, picture mail, and anything else to make you feel confident in my care! I currently work full time with a schedule of 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Occasionally, I work late an/or a short Saturday shift. All my schedule details for the days requested will be communicated to ensure I am a good fit! I do best when there is notes with a feeding schedule and other needs for your future babies so I can ensure they are getting the best care while you’re away! I will update with as many photos or videos as you would like throughout the day. If allowed in your home, i leave the bedroom door (of the room I am sleeping in) open so they can crawl up in bed with me or just know that I am there. I love to take them on walks, play with them inside or outside, or even lounge around with them! :)
About: I’m a dedicated cat owner of two adorable cats and understand how important routines, litter box monitoring, feeding schedules, and daily updates are for pet parents. My childhood dog passed away last year, but he was an 110 lb German Shepherd /Alaskan Malamute and I would walk him daily, so I am no stranger to big dogs! I will make sure to send many update pics 😊 Use my code below for $20 off your first Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/audref10358 I currently work a 9-5 but am off at 12 on Fridays, so I am available after work for walks and drop-in’s as well as anytime Friday after 1 and anytime on the weekends! My cats are indoor cats but I am no stranger to taking care of dogs, and big ones at that. Your pet’s safety is my #1 concern
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.
“Angela has been sitting with us for going on two years. Daily drop ins and overnights. I have had some medical things going on and not needed care for a bit and she checked in with me throughout just to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. She cares about me and my babies. She’s a great care taker with a big heart. We are most thankful for her.”
“Dave is the best in the business! His communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond for my dog KC is very much appreciated time and time again. Book him now!”
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!
“Both pets were happy and healthy when we left, and after Jeff saw to them for the 2 days, they were just as happy and healthy! He was friendly, responsive, punctual and sent pictures and videos! Thank you Jeff 😁”
“Andrew was reliable, friendly, and left incredibly thorough/detailed updates of our cats. Our standoffish girls grew to love him as he played with them, gave them pets anda ttention, and followed our preferred feeding/litter schedule. He even brought in mail/packages when they arrived (thank you, Andrew!) and let us know if anything seemed amiss in the house. We will happily book with Andrew again.”
“Amanda did a great job taking care of my pup. She was very attentive and got along with him great. She was super punctual to our schedule and made sure he was safe and comfortable while I was traveling for work.”
About: Raised my own dog and his puppy from birth, now experienced with senior care. Pet sitting is natural to me, it's not just a job. I currently have a part time job and in college. My hours vary through the week but they are set depending the season because of school. I have a senior dog, so he can either be relaxed or playful. So I can always adjust to my babies needs and I can do the same for yours!

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 1,535 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.
