Why Rockingham owners choose in-home care
A sitter from around here

Care that fits your pet
Senior dogs, nervous cats, insulin at 7 a.m., chickens to feed: put it in your request and the sitter tells you up front what they can handle.
From a midday walk to a week away
A quick walk on a long workday, drop-ins over a weekend, or overnight care while you travel for the holidays.

Six questions to ask any sitter
Good sitters are glad to answer these. Use them with any sitter, whether they came from us or not.
- Are you insured? Ask whether they carry pet-sitter liability insurance or a bond. The sitter we work with is insured and bonded.
- Can we meet first? A short meet-and-greet with your pet, at your home, before the first booking. Ours is free.
- What's your emergency plan? Which vet they'd call, and how they'll reach you. Nearby clinics include Cooley Veterinary Hospital on West US 74 and Gandy Animal Hospital on Rockingham Road.
- How will I hear from you? Photo or text updates after each visit or each day.
- Can you give medicines? Pills, injections such as insulin, and timing.
- Who will actually come? The same person every visit, or a team, and whether you'll have references.

Common questions
Is the pet sitter insured and bonded?
Yes. The sitter we work with is insured and bonded. Ask to see proof at your free meet-and-greet before the first booking.
Is there a free meet-and-greet beforehand?
Yes, the meet-and-greet is free. Plan it a week or two before your trip. Your pet meets the sitter, and you go over feeding, medicines, keys or entry codes, hiding spots and the alarm.
Will I get client references and a written agreement?
Yes. Your booking confirmation includes the written agreement, covering your dates, services, price, payment and cancellation terms. References from current clients are available if you'd like them; just ask.
Are you the pet sitter?
No. Pet Sitter Rockingham is a referral service. We pass your request to a local pet sitter who serves your area, and you book with the sitter directly.
Is in-home sitting better than a kennel?
For many pets, yes: they keep their own bed, food and routine, and they aren't around unfamiliar animals. Kennels can suit dogs who like company. Compare them side by side.
Can a sitter care for a senior pet or one on medication?
Many sitters can, but not all. Say so in your request, including medicines and times, and ask how they handle it at the meet-and-greet.
Which areas do you cover?
Rockingham and nearby towns, including Hamlet, Ellerbe, Cordova, Hoffman, Laurel Hill and Wadesboro. If you're farther out, send a request anyway and we'll tell you if a sitter can reach you.
Is this Rockingham County?
No. This site covers Rockingham, NC 28379, the city in Richmond County. Rockingham County is a different county near Greensboro.
