“This young lady is outstanding! She was so sweet and really seemed to genuinely enjoy time with my dog. She kept me involved and informed while I was out of town. Can’t say enough good things about her!”
“Cameron did another outstanding job with my newfy, Seren. She’s prompt, communicates well, and I always got good photos and updates on my dog’s wellbeing at each visit. I’ll definitely continue to book her 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 grown up with pets all my life! Growing up, we always had at least two dogs running around and had all breeds from Havanese to Bernese Mountain Dogs. I have watched my pets through every life cycle and feel comfortable making sure all pets are cared for as if they are my own. I am currently a 3L in law school with classes either only in the morning or only in the afternoon, depending on the day. I am willing to work around my classes to make sure I can care for your pet when needed. I am a bit of a neat freak and will make sure that your space remains clean and cared for as if it is my own space.
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!
About: I have started caring for pets since I was 12 I watched my family friends three dogs on many occasions and helped to potty train her new puppy. I have taken four years of vet and grooming in high school and know a lot about heath and safety for pets and grooming procedures. Also included walking the dogs through out the day. I love pets so much and would love to hang with yours!! I’m currently in college but I am online so I will have plenty of time to play and be with your pets throughout the day and they will rarely ever be left alone. We do have a fenced yard and I have four dogs your dog can play with they are all very friendly and love new friends I have multiple crates so if needed your dog can be crated.
About: I've owned, trained, been around, worked with animals for over 25 years. I would absolutely love to help love on and care for your pet! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule that I manage myself. I am often found walking the neighborhood while listening to a podcast! I have a secure fenced in back yard and also have an XL dog kennel as well as a Small size kennel available, if needed.
“Sarah is the best! My kitties loved her - even the shy one eventually came out to visit! Will definitely use Sarah again when the time comes. Can’t thank her enough for everything she did.”
About: I’ve taken care of tiny to large dogs my whole life and enjoy them so much. Friends come to me first when they need someone to watch their animals for a weekend getaway or even just a night out. I can do basic training at home and I am a clean and easy-going human with a knack for taking care of animals. I am currently working from home with a very flexible schedule. On a daily basis I go on 2 personal walks/runs (I am an avid runner/hiker), and every weekend I try to go camping or do a day hike. I genuinely enjoy being outside. I like to follow guidelines given by the owner, whether that be 2-3 meals a day, medications, etc. I like to have a game-plan provided and I can do anything that is asked of me. I like to give the pet plenty of outdoor time while also allowing for relaxing indoor time. Totally depending on the pets activity level & daily habits.
“Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to work with. She updated me frequently on my girls and was super accommodating with the timeframes where I needed assistance with my pups. Would highly recommend to anyone!! 🤩”
“Our anxious pup warmed up to Adriana right away and felt so comfortable with her, which made us feel comfortable. She was prompt with every visit while we were away on a trip, and was so easy to communicate with. At one point the house lost power while our pup was home alone, and Adriana eased our worries by checking on him and making sure the house was cool enough. She seemed to understand his behaviors and tells right away and was responsive to his needs. We were able to enjoy our time away and knew our baby was in great hands. We would definitely book Adriana again.”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 5 years and have taken care of over 10 different dogs! I have experienced with multiple ages and needs as well. I have a full time job but have my mornings and evenings free for drop ins! I also have weekends free for drop in visits or overnights! I am super commutative with pet parents and strive to have a very trusting relationship with them! I also highly value spending quality time with animals and caring for them based on individual needs.
“Sarah was great and the pups loved playing with their new friend! She was prompt with the requested visit times and helped with cleaning up a few messes that they made. I'm not sure who had more fun, Sarah or the mutts!”
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Outside of my current work schedule from 8 am to 5:30 pm I am open to assisting with your pet care needs. My weekends are free all day for help. My jobs involves physical labor so however long your pet wants to play I have the energy to back it up. Whatever instructions you have I will follow them to the letter and be respectful of your home!
About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winston-Salem
Madeline was ao wonderful with my semi-sprightly senior dog and teenage cat and I would not hesitate to work with her again! Communication was easy and prompt and I loved the updates I got from her while we were away. She even managed to coerce my skittish cat into playing with her toys!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Winston-Salem is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,492 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Winston-Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
