About: I have been dog sitting for 4 years. I have taken care of anything from small to big dogs. I love what I do and believe that animals deserve the best care! I have a pretty open schedule and incorporating pets into that schedule makes me very happy!! I love watching animals and having play time with them! I have 2 dogs. One French bulldog and one English bulldog. These dogs get top tier canine life (much deserved) and make me very very happy!
About: I work remotely and can provide strong around the clock care to your furry family. I have paid experience watching dogs, cats, fish and crabs. I also frequently volunteer with barn animals. As I mentioned, I work remotely. I work 8am to 4:30 pm with two 15 minute breaks a day. This gives me the ability to have a constant eye on the pets I care for. I provide care by treating your animals as if they were my own. I can provide frequent pictures and updates. If your pet gets lonely or wants a play mate I have the ability to bring my dog Ben along. When I bring him with me I will ensure that he is up to date on all of his immunizations.
“Riley was great with our cats. It can be tough to handle 5 hungry babies at once, but she had no issues. She was able to care for our diabetic cat and give him his insulin injections at a timely manner, all while making sure he didn’t eat the other cat’s food. We would definitely hire her again in the future!”

About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!
About: Hi!! I am a senior at ECU and my family and I just moved to the Raleigh area from New York. I have been sitting for a little over three years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). I am open to anything from house sitting to just check ins- whatever is needed! My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I now have a a dog of my own, Champ as well as foster dogs though Pitt Friends so I am highly knowledgeable with anything regarding dogs and puppies. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.
“Jenna was great with our dogs and cat and sent lots of photos during the visits! She dropped in a few times during the day and was very communicative! Will book her again for drop ins!”
About: Experienced and energetic animal lover, I love and care for your pets as if they were my own! I am a fourth year dental student at ECU School of Dental Medicine who graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2022 and have done Rover for the past 8 years and have loved every bit of it. I was past President of the Carolina Puppy Raisers club on campus and have ample experience with dogs & was a young puppy trainer and caregiver at EENP (a service dog nonprofit training center located in Chapel Hill) for 2 years with over 380+ hours caring for/training/raising many dogs and puppies of all sizes, personalities, and breeds! I’m certified in EENP’s required preparation/exam to become a trainer (renewed every few months) which includes emergency situation training, giving medication, and being very safe with the dogs. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets & make sure they’re happy and healthy the whole time. I will always ensure the safety and happiness of your pet in my care. I’ve been on Rover since the start of COVID and have absolutely loved all dogs in my care (might even get a little attached by the end😅). These last years on Rover, Ive taken care of over 150 pets! Even more anxious/shy personalities tend to warm up to me within a few hours, as I’ll always give them the time and space to feel comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for dogs-all sizes, breeds, and personalities. While dogsitting and babysitting have been a flexible side income as a student, I truly continue to do it for the absolute joy & happiness it brings me to spend with dogs! (Until I have one of my own after school)😊 Some of my most memorable days come from spending time with pups, whether it’s playing fetch outside, hiking trails together, or just cuddled up! Use code for $40 off of your first booking with me! https://www.rover.com/sit/bianks14375 Very flexible with availability, please contact for specific dates/times. Currently I am in school/class (which is just 4 min walk away) from 8-5 Mondays-Fridays. We are usually off a few hours early during the week and Wednesday I don’t go in until 1pm. All my weekends are usually free and so my full attention is devoted towards your pet:) If you’d like to book during a weekday, I can easily come home during my lunch breaks to hang with your pets and always make sure to get their energy out in the morning and afternoon after school! Everything from very frequent potty breaks, walks, exercise to cuddles/playtime will be provided. I’m home all day most weekends, have a car to pickup/drop off if needed, and will do my best to meet your schedule. Can do very early/late drop offs or pickups as requested. I’m usually up around 5/6am or earlier. My apartment has ample indoor space with dog/puppy proof settings, located close to the Health Science/Medical District of Greenville. It’s a quiet and safe neighborhood, we have a dog park and a nature trail close by. EENP provides me with excellent training on dog walking/sitting and prepares me for a wide variety of situations/encounters with other animals that I am properly trained for. I know what steps to follow if there happens to be an emergency, but have never had a single issue in the past years that I’ve done dogsitting for Rover! I do go on runs or walks almost everyday, and enjoy walking on trails nearby or just around the complex—and your dog is welcome to join for whatever they’re comfortable with. I don’t have any other dogs or pets in the house and I make sure to never leave dogs outside alone unattended and your pup will always be under my watch when left with me—my space is also relatively puppy proof, and can make it even more when your pet comes to stay! I do have a lot of plants, but can make sure to have these arranged to be out of reach if it’s a know issue.
“Zaria did great with my loud 2yo GSD and my little cavalier. It was a bit last minute but she met me prior to caring for them to get all of the instructions for them. I felt so comfortable while being away. She messaged me and sent great pics of my two while I was away. Happy I found a great sitter in the area for when I need it again!”
About: My experience into dog care started 9 years ago, and my time working with cats started less than a year later. My experience of both dogs with a hyper or dissociative personality and felines with bad temperament was mostly gained while working at various animal shelters. Some shelter dogs and cats are not temperamental on their own but sometimes will instinctively react to those who are being the aggressors, as is their nature. it's often very similar at dog parks- A Gathering of many unknown dogs, some likely to be reactive to others and always a few having chance of causing a fight. Something I keep in mind for safety every time I have an interaction with a dog I don't know while walking someone else's that I was entrusted the care of, is that other animals I don't know will always be unpredictable. Outside my charity work for shelters, for an even longer amount of time I've taken care of pets of many ages and breeds for family/friends going on 9 years now. I have handled many large breeds; Labradors, Huskies, Great Danes, German Shepards, Mastiffs. I have also worked with various medium and small sized breeds. My total 2 years of experience with puppies was spread out caring for and helping raise pups my sister had gotten. Between raising puppies and trying to work with pets giving me a hard time during the course of my many dog sitting jobs I have seen and learnt countless things about our furry friends! To list a few; common dog and cat habits, nutrition, toxic foods for dogs, signs of aggressive body language in pets, and abnormal behavior alongside possible causes. Any and all pet needs such as sitting, walking, etc. I'm available to do every day of the week, as I have a clear schedule for the time being. When at a client's house, if instructions are not already given to me I will ask the owner's typical routine with their pet and see what they want or need done for their dog or cat. I'd Also ask general house rules like backyard access, and if I could entertain the fuzzy friends with toys for enrichment.
About: I am a person who lives alone and loves animals. I have 5 years of experience taking care of my neighbors' pets. I Love the pets I don't work, so I'm free all week to take care of the pets. I really like going for walks and the outdoors with pets They have a safe space to be inside my home, they can be on the furniture without any problem. they will always be safe And good

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winterville
Clarissa was absolutely amazing! She was very helpful and respectful of my home while I was away, and she took wonderful care of KJ. Clarissa was thorough and made sure there was no room for miscommunication when it came to KJ’s care, which gave me such huge peace of mind. This was my first time navigating the app, and she even helped me through the booking process to make sure I selected the most optimal options for my needs. Her kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness truly made this experience so much easier for me. Clarissa is a true angel! 😇 I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Daryana did an amazing job caring for our pup in our home! She was reliable, respectful of our home, and gave our dog so much love and attention while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was comfortable in his own environment and being cared for by someone so kind and trustworthy. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a home that was just as we left it. We highly recommend Daryana to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate in-home pet sitter. Thank you, Daryana.
It was our first time using rover and we came across alleigh and was so down to watch my boys. She was Very communicative with us and had no issues at all ! My boys loved her and will be rebooking apon our next trip. I 100% recommend 🙏🏽 thank you again Alleigh!
I cannot recommend Jodi and Kim highly enough! Finding sitters for my four dogs is always a challenge, but they handled the entire weekend with incredible professionalism, warmth, and dedication. From the start, they were meticulous about following my explicit instructions—a huge relief for any multi-dog household. They ensured every routine and need was met perfectly. However, where they truly shined was when one of my dogs unfortunately got sick. Not only did they manage the situation calmly, but they cleaned up (twice!) without hesitation. This truly goes above and beyond the standard duties of a pet sitter and shows how much they genuinely care. They treated my dogs and my home with the utmost respect. I came back to four happy, well-cared-for pups and a spotlessly clean area. If you are looking for reliable, professional, and genuinely exceptional pet care, hire Jodi and Kim immediately! They are absolute gems.

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.
