About: There's not many people out there who love animals as much as me. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles of all kinds, and other exotics such as sugar gliders. As a part of one of the biggest pet rescues of the Southeast, I have fostered and cared for dogs of all sizes, with all kinds of needs from medications to heartworm treatment. I've also apprenticed with an experienced and well-known dog trainer. I can read dog behavior well, and am patient and understanding with anxious, frightened, and grouchy pups. I want to make sure my client's pets have someone trustworthy looking after them; my pets have always been my family, and I know many others feel that way too. I strive to be of the utmost reliability, the one who will not let you down. I also strive to work with a client's budget as much as possible, because I know I'd want the same done for me. I currently work full-time from 8-5, but my schedule is usually pretty flexible, making it possible for me to handle drop-in visits/walks, and keeping dogs in my home. I really enjoy letting an owner know how their pet is doing. I send lots of pictures and updates. My aim is to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their human is away!
About: I have provided pet sitting services since I was in highschool. I have worked with many different breeds and have experience in training smaller dogs, working with elderly dogs, and working with injured dogs who need more care. I love to play with dogs and help them achieve their exercise goals! I am currently in school and have availability throughout the week and weekends to walk dogs! My availability is listed below: Sunday - available all day Monday - 9am-12pm Tuesday - 9am-1pm Wednesday - 3:30pm-8pm Thursday - 12:30pm-1:30pm Friday - 3:15pm-6pm Saturday - 9:30am-5pm (subject to change) In a clients home, I keep your pet where they are allowed. If you have a fenced in yard or prefer I use a leash I will also accommodate for that. Refilling water or if feeding is needed will be done to ensure your pet is happy until you come back!
“I absolutely adore Caroline. She is a genuinely kind soul and, just as important, my fur baby loves her. You can tell she has a natural warmth and care for little hearts, and that’s what makes her so special and such a magnet for animals. We had a small hiccup with entry, but she handled it with nothing but patience and kindness.”
About: I've got multiple years of experience handling a highly anxious dog that can be dog selective during high stress situations. I was the one primarily training my family's two dogs, as well as the one taking them out on as many walks as I was able. I have multiple years worth of experience with senior dogs that had arthritis and who needed to have their food prepped especially for easier eating. I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia and currently looking into part time summer positions, however my schedule is very flexible with daily check-ins and overnight stays during both the week and weekend are very doable. During check-ins, outside of ensuring food and water are available, I would make sure to spend time playing and hanging out with any dog and if I have time to take them on a walk I will. For overnights, I would do the same thing with the only difference being the amount of time I'd be able to spend with the dog.
About: All my life I have grown up with cats and had one pet dog growing up. I have a dog now and 4 cats at home, so I am an animal lover at heart. I absolutely love dogs and kittens. Im a student and work at a retail store in the mornings, so I am available to sit, and walk in the afternoons and evenings. I have a two story house for them to roam, and a front yard to play in. I live in a gated community for us to go on walks.
About: I have pet sit for all different sizes and species of dogs throughout my entire life. I absolutely love animals and have a golden doodle of my own. I have also fostered several dogs, including multiple puppies. I am current a student home from college for the summer and have a lot of free time. I have a very flexible schedule and pretty much open availability! I have previous pet sitting experience and am comfortable caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I’m capable of handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I am a 3rd year veterinary student with 2 dogs of my own. I have dealt with medical cases, seniors, and puppies! I am very flexible during the summer, and can work things out as fall begins. I am currently working part time with other pet sitting gigs sprinkled throughout my weeks. I am in town most of the summer, so I am very flexible. As a veterinary student, I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and conditions. This makes for ease of mind for you as you leave your fur baby with someone new!
“Michelle went ABOVE AND BEYOND caring for my cat who just had surgery when I had to go out of town last minute. She gave me updates each visit, gave my cat extra attention beyond what she was asked to, and even offered to trim her nails when she noticed they were long. Her having emergency vet experience is a plus, and I truly can't recommend her enough.”
About: I used to work at vets office a year ago. I took care of dogs, cats, bunnies… etc. I bathed them, cuddled them and, cared for them! I am currently out of school for summer and I am working part time. I will have plenty of time to play with your animals! I always make sure to greet my dogs when I come in and I always use a leash on walks for their safety. I make sure they have plenty of water and food before I leave to go anywhere.

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even corn snakes! I always take pictures of them and adore all animals! I am currently a student at UGA, only taking classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I am free for you pets at any time! I can take your pets on as many or as little walks as they please! I live in an apartment complex that is very pet friendly and has a dog park a quick walk away. I also have another friendly dog in the apartment to keep any dogs good company! They are also welcome on any furniture. In your home I will respect any rules you have and still create a fun environment for your fur baby.
About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)
About: I’ve grown up taking care of our family dogs for years! I bathe, walk, feed, and play with my dog. I have also taken care of two golden doodles for two years after school. I would stop by to make sure take them outside to play and go potty! Along with this, I have experience staying the night to care for a pup and keep them company! Sorry my response rate is so low, I couldn’t respond while out of town. I’m usually very responsive! I am currently a college student for the summer so I have lots of free time! I can do mornings, afternoons, nights etc. If needed, Im available for extended amounts of time and also short check ins! I offer dog walks, potty breaks, playtime, and good company! I will make sure your pet is always well fed and hydrated. I’m very flexible and able to fit every pups needs!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Winterville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $25 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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Winterville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
