“Laura is outstanding! She is everything you want in a pet sitter - punctual, communicative, and happy to make sure everything is taken care of. It was a big relief knowing that Laura was looking after our cat while we were out of town. We would 100% request Laura in the future.”
“She was wonderful! She accepted my booking at the last minute when I needed someone to watch Sova during a doctor’s appointment. She listened carefully to Sova’s needs, routine, and activity level, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in her care. She was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely kind. I’m very grateful she was able to help us on such short notice, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Caelyn was great. She was very loving, caring, patient, trustworthy taking care of my two cats. They got along well. She went above and beyond spending time with them, playing with them, checking in on them. Would highly recommend her to others. She was easy and flexible to coordinate logistics with. If anyone in or around Greenville needs help with their pets, I would highly recommend her. Thanks Caelyn.”
“Clarisa was awesome! She gave us such a good peace of mind with all of her detailed updates and pictures/videos when watching our two cats. I gave her very detailed instructions and she followed them so well! Would 10000% book again!!!”
“Shelby was amazing with my cat! She’s professional, kind, and attentive. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands, and I can’t wait to book her again. Thank you so much, Shelby!”
“Steve was absolutely fantastic and professional. My wife and I were new to dog sitting and usually use a boarding service when we go away. Well we ran out of time due to Thanksgiving around the corner so we reached out on Rover to find an amazing person who absolutely set our mind at ease from the moment we shook hands. Thanks Steve…. And of coarse Brady thanks you as well!!!”
“Dia was amazing with our 3 cats! She sent lots of updates and pictures and was very patient and kind with our elderly kitty who can be spicy and uncooperative. I would definitely book her again, and recommend her to friends!”
“Madison was super attentive when she dropped in to care for my pets while I was at work. She was sent photos, played with them and was overall super responsive. Will definitely book again!!”

I have always had a dog in our house for about 7 years. I have babysat neighbors dogs and cats. I have had 4 dogs at a time before and we have adopted rescues. I have had young pups to senior animals. I have clincials on Monday from 6:30am-12:30pm and it’s about an hour away so i’ll be available around 2:30-3pm. Free on Tuesdays! I have classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am-3pm. Always making sure they have water and feeding is on time/ the right amount. Checking the temperature for the animals' safety and their comfort. Gentle with senior animals so they have a sense of security while I am there. If not too hot, we would take walks, but also being cautious of their paws on hot pavement and overheating!
About: I have taken care of animals, my whole life. From hamsters, ducks, birds, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, and ferrets. I’m not afraid of any animal, but I respect that they are animals. I don’t mind cleaning up after them caring for them and spending time with them. My current situation keeps me home a lot of hours. I take care of my elderly mother. Reach out and see if we are a good fit. When caring for your pet in your house, I will try to stick to your routine as close as possible. If you leave me step-by-step instructions, I have no problem following them. Your pet comes to my home, they are welcome as one of our own.
About: I have bathed, walked, fed, and watched many dogs. I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes. I’ve owned 4 dogs including a german shepherd and Boykin spaniels. I also have experience with puppies! I’m a college student currently so I would be able to care for pets before, between, and after classes. I am very reliable and I’m good at communicating! I make sure to maintain a safe and loving environment! I love animals so I will give them the best care! I am very dependable!
“Rachel was recommended to me by a very good friend who has used her for years. I have 3 high energy dogs and Rachel does great with them and helps tremendously to get some of their energy out during the work day when my husband and I are unable to. I have used her many times and originally started to do so after switching from a very hands-off family friend who would let the dogs use the bathroom for me, but that’s it. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone who cares about my animals, spends time with them, and actually plays with them. I feel very comfortable leaving my babies in her hands!”
About: Hi there! My name is Avi, and I would be more than happy to take care of your animal friends! I have always loved animals, dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it! I am a college graduate with a Bachelors in Biology, and I want to get a career working with animals full time. I have experience working with all types of pets. The dogs I have experience caring for are majority large dogs, including senior dogs, puppies, and reactive dogs. I have also cared for cats, including senior cats for multiple years. I have even taken care of bearded dragons! In addition, I am able to do drop-ins and will be able to board any of your rodents or reptiles! I have four dogs currently, the oldest one is a rescue who has had a lot of training as he is leash-reactive. I have had him for over nine years. The other two are siblings over three years of age, which I have cared for since they were one month old, along with having cared for two of their other siblings for about two years. I can work full time! I am available any day of the week. I will not be able to board your pets in my home as I have a reactive dog, but I can come to your home and feed, play with, care for, and walk your furry babies! I live in a house with a huge yard in which I constantly take my dogs out to play. One of my dogs doesn't interact well with the two younger, so I would not have my house available for boarding. However, I am more than happy to do drop-ins!
About: I absolutely adore pets and always have since I was young! Had several dogs all throughout my childhood and am currently in search for one of my own! I enjoy walking outside so if your dog loves to go for walks, we'd be the perfect match! I have also pet sat dogs of all ages many times before for neighbors and friends, so I would love to be able to pet sit for anyone in need whether that be for feeding time, walks, overnight care or just to be there so they aren't lonely! I recently moved back to North Carolina, so I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends. My home has a yard to run around and play in and the neighborhood is perfect for walks! I can easily crate your dogs if needed or they can snuggle up on the couch or bed. Looking forward to taking care of your furry family members and will treat them like my own :)
About: I’ve owned Labrador Retrievers and have experience caring for a variety of pets through pet sitting, including dogs, cats, and other animals. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and providing attentive, reliable care. I am student in college with flexible hours. I am free nearly every day and I am able to commute and prove quality care to all pets. I am extremely responsible and reliable. I take animals out right away and refill water and necessities. I’d love to exercise your animal and play with them until they are fully cared for and loved.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. With reliable communication, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence, your pet will be treated like family. I am usually free everyday until around 3pm. Some weeks are different but I would love to communicate and find a way to fit your pet in. I create safe environments for pets by making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and respected at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and always supervise during play and feeding. I pay attention to their body language, give them space when needed, and keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and hazard-free. Whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a calm walk outdoors, I prioritize their comfort and well-being in every moment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winterville
Sabrin did a great job! She sent pictures daily which was a nice touch. All 5 kitties seemed very content when we arrived back from our trip. I am sorry that I am unable to tip at this time. My husband is a military vet and we are on a very tight budget. My daughter paid for everything and thought the tip was included up front. Again, very sorry but Sabrin did a great job and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Ashley is passionate about cat sitting. She was always on time, kept the litter boxes cleaned, made sure the two were fed and played with our two kittens. She constantly interacted with the kittens giving them plenty of attention and love. This was my first time using her and plan on using her again. She sent pictures from each visit. It was great to know how good the cats were being taken care of.
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!
Jessica is a wonderful pet sitter. We have been using her services repeatedly and we are absolutely comfortable when she is taking care of our precious cat Bella. She’s always on time and very well organized.She sents a lot of photos and updates us on everything that is happening and takes time to make sure everything is in order before we come home. We will gladly recommend her as a pet sitter.
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!
Did an excellent job looking over my two cats. Left the place very clean. My cats are often a little traumatized after I leave for a while, but with Dima they were completely happy when I got home. I could tell she really cares about cats and gives them lots attention and love.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Winterville is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 343 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Winterville. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winterville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
