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!
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 extra loving care with lots of cuddles (only if they like them, of course). I am currently working at a 9-5 internship, so my mornings and evenings are free to take care of your furry friends! My consistent schedule allows me to dedicate breakfast and dinner time to your pet’s 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: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. We both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱
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!
“Megan was great! She took excellent care of my kitties, following their care instructions exactly, and gave the kitties supervised porch time each day too. Megan was communicative and thorough. I would be happy to book Megan again in the future.”
“Channon B took excellent care of my cats and maintained the litter boxes well so that I came home to a clean apartment. Will use her services every time she’s available.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with 1–2 dogs in my household my entire life and have also cared for family and friends’ dogs many times over the years. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and love getting to know each dog’s individual routine and needs. While I haven’t worked professionally as a dog walker, I’m very comfortable around dogs and would love the opportunity to give them some extra exercise, attention, and companionship. I’m especially interested in dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of snuggles, belly rubs, playtime, and affection!:) My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for dog walks and drop in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and snuggles! I treat every pet with respect/love and prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping doors and gates secure, and making sure your pup feels happy and cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
“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.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Since I was 15 years old, I have worked with rescue animals, helping provide daily care, socialization, and support as they transitioned into permanent homes. This experience taught me how to work with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. I currently have a dog of my own and have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. My roommate has two cats, and I regularly help care for them as well. My experience includes feeding, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule and several days off throughout the week. My work hours can vary from day to day, so I’m able to move things around and accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog who loves having company. Your pet can enjoy a safe, comfortable home environment, and I’m also happy to provide care in your home if that’s what works best.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had pets since I was a very little girl. Then, throughout my teenage years I dog sitted multiple pets. I have a pet of my own back at my parents house who I live and miss so much <3 I’m currently working a flexible full time job so I have time to interact with the pups a lot. I love walking everywhere so a dog would be a great companion I live currently live alone with my cat but I work from home few days a week so I can definitely provide a safe space and company to your dog or take them for a fun walk!
About: Hi! I'm Dr. Mo -- I'm reliable, attentive, and I absolutely love doggos! I'm the person people trust with their pets when they're out of town, working, or overwhelmed (let's face it -- life is lifing pretty hard these days). I have a kind, grounded, and loving presence and tend to do well even with high-energy and sensitive pets. I'm a psychologist --the human kind --but I am tuned in to behavior and routines, so I pick up on what helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's long walks (or run/hikes!), playtime, or just keeping a consistent schedule while you're away --I'll treat your pet like my own. I'm also comfortable with medications, special instructions, or multi-pet households. You'll get regular photos and updates so you'll never have to wonder how things are going. If you're looking for someone dependable who genuinely gets animals (and their humans) I'd be honored to help. The doctor is in (and down for walks!) I currently work part time (remotely) as a college professor and run my own consulting firm, so I have flexibility to care for animals all week! I tend to work from a local coffee shop or my apartment mid day, but like to take morning and afternoon breaks -- which is perfect for dog sitting/walking! I live in a shared apartment, so won't be boarding dogs, but I'm happy to house/pet sit at your home. I've been doing this for friends, family, and faculty, for over 10 years! My work is flexible -- if I have my laptop, I'm set to work from anywhere. I'm adaptable and respectful of privacy, and enjoy having a change of scenery and working from different environments -- and enjoying the company of a special doggie pal makes life more wonderful.
“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!”
“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 have never not had a dog in my life. I have owned Labs, Boxers, German Shepherds, Irish Setters, Huskies, and Bulldogs. While only owning larger breeds, I do have experience with smaller dogs. I have worked as a home care professional dealing with older people and their pets, with overnight stays which involved cleaning and meal preparation. Athletics have always been an important part of my life and that carries over to playing with, walking and caring for the dogs. I would say that my biggest weakness is that I often get attached to the dogs, however I would say that is a strength as far as the dogs are concerned. I am very trustworthy and dedicated with a good work history and work ethic. I currently work full-time, from home. I typically have a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I tend to take on more through the week because my husband travels a lot and I like to spend time with him on the weekends. That being said, please reach out if you would like me to watch your pup because I always try and work it into my schedule!! I don’t offer services in my own home, so I will come to yours. Depending on the yard situation, I love to take dogs outside and run around with them or play fetch with them, just help them get their energy out. Especially if they’ve been kept inside for most of the day! I know my dogs really enjoy this, so I make sure to get that play-time in, while dogsitting. I also know that it is very important to dog owners to get the walk in, everyday. So, I always make sure to listen to those instructions and follow through with them, it’s always good to keep up the routine and the dogs always look forward to it!
“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!”

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!
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.
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!
Audrey was awesome! So sweet and kind. She came over for a quick meet and greet before I left town and I could tell she didn’t need any direction. She was very timely and stayed for the entire timeslot. She watched my 2 cats and sent lots of photos of play time. I told her my one cat would probably hide during her visits but that didn’t stop Audrey from finding her and sending me a photo of her hiding place everyday just so I knew she was okay. I am definitely rebooking for all future trips.
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Winston-Salem on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,490 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
- 98% 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.
