“Bryanna has been walking our dog a few days a week for 3 weeks now and it has been so helpful! We made a few changes and Bryanna was flexible and always super communicative. The daily report she gives is always detailed and appreciated! Thank you Bryanna!”


“Cynthia was awesome with Harley! She texted me pictures and also told me how much Harley played with her once they got back inside. She was so friendly and gave me great details on what they did so I felt very comfortable and happy that Cynthia took great care of Harley. I will definitely ask Cynthia to walk and take care of Harley again!”


“Stephanie was such a sweetheart to my girl, Blue :) she was always on time and even walked her a little longer than the 30 mins. I can tell Blue felt comfortable with her and I felt comfortable leaving her in Stephanie’s care. Will definitely rebook in the future!”


“This is the second time we’ve used Deb for when we’re out of town. One weekend, Deb noticed our dog was drinking more than normal and had frequent accidents in the house. This is completely out the normal behavior for my older dog and she picked up on it! Thanks to Deb’s observation we got my dog treated quickly for a UTI. Can’t thank or recommend her enough, especially if you have an older doggo!”



“Kim is the best dog walker/sitter we could have ever asked for! She went above and beyond for our pup, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Sam is our favorite walker/ sitter in Cary! He’s been available everytime we’ve needed him and very accommodating / loving to our baby. Definitely will continue to book with him!”

“David is one of the few people I trust with my dog. My dog is sweet but demanding, and David always does the best job with his walks and medical needs. I'm so grateful to have found him and I know my dog is as well!”


About: I’ve grown up around pets and they are a huge part of my life. I’ve gotten all my animals when they were a puppy or kitten so I understand the consistency the little ones need! I’m currently on an online masters student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. I like to keep my weekends free but during the week I’m able to move around my assignments to work with your pup or cat’s schedule! I have 2 shih tzu’s (5&7) and an orange tabby cat (3). My dogs love going for about 15 minute walks in the morning and afternoon after they eat. They also love play time so I love playing with them and giving them so many pets! My cat is such a love bug. We hangout and just do our own thing or we play with her fishing rod or mousey toys!

About: Since 2020, I have taken care of several pets of all ages and energy levels! The past three years, I’ve lived with, and taken care of three cats ranging from senior to kitten. There is never a boring day! Olive, the oldest cat, has asthma, so I am trained in giving inhalers and various medications. I have also taken care of puppies of all ages ranging from one years old to senior dogs. I love to play so making sure your dog gets exercise won’t be a problem! From the highly energetic babies to the slower, more easy-going ones, I’ll make sure each dog gets specialized attention and care. I have the most experience with senior dogs. I am able to give medications, help them with low impact exercises, and stick to feeding schedules to help keep consistency. If your dog has any special requirements, just let me know and I’ll make sure they have all they need! For all your pet needs, I’m your girl! While I work part time, I have a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets and provide adequate feeding and play time! I am available all days of the week with advanced notice! Every pet has unique needs and Im always ready to meet them! I have taken care of several babies who needed tons of attention and others who just need me to make sure they have their food on time. I’m always a text away and owners can feel at ease knowing your pet’s needs will be catered to thoroughly and that their safety and happiness is my first priority!

“Abby was the perfect match for our high-energy, frisbee-loving 70 pound German Shepherd! She came over ready to play and was very attentive to his/our family’s needs. She kept us up to date on all of Drago’s adventures with videos and plenty of pictures. Drago looked forward to his walk with Abby each day and came home tired and happy! Couldn’t ask for anything more! Abby was awesome, and we will definitely be booking with her again.”


About: My husband and I grew up with dogs, and our kids are great at playing gently with animals....so we are opening our home (with a fenced in yard) to take great care of your sweet furry friend while you're away. We don't have any dogs or cats of our own; we will treat yours like our own and include them in our family life while they’re here. We have a fenced yard and no other furry pets to compete for attention. We can walk your dog in our quiet neighborhood, and they’ll have plenty of space to relax in our house too. Our only pet is a small, nonvenomous corn snake who stays in his terrarium all the time, behind closed doors if needed. We are trusting you to be honest up front about your pet's needs and behavior so we can all have the best experience. Let’s do an in person meet & greet to make sure it’s a good fit! We work from home & hybrid so it’s normal to have one or both of us home during the whole work day. The kids have school & activities that we take turns driving them back and forth to - typical family life that we just integrate our dog friends into while giving them attention & walks along the way. We board pets in our home when we are available and know we are going to be home a good amount of the time. We go out in the backyard with them. Note that our house has stairs.

About: Our family have 2 sweet fur babies of our own. An 11 year old rescue named Winnie and a 5 year old named Bear who we absolutely love. We enjoy walks around the neighborhood or playdates at the dog park. They love coming camping on the weekends and playing fetch any chance they can get. My kids are older and have always been around dogs and love giving lots of belly rubs and treats if allowed. We know it's hard to leave a piece of your heart when you have to go and they cant come with you, so we would love to be the family that gives you peace of mind that your pet will be absolutely loved and taken care of until you can be with them again. We have a nice comfy home with a back yard for access to bathroom breaks any time and running and playing. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly and not to far from a lake that we can take them to to enjoy the scenery. We have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. One of our pups sleeps in the crate and the other prefers no crate. Would be happy to let your pup sleep however is most comfortable for them. We also make sure to get them out every day to the dog park. And love a long walk in the evenings.

“What a great experience! This was our first time using Rover and I landed on Melissa based on her having a fellow basset hound and professional experience dealing with animals. We have two bassets, both female, and one of those we just rescued. Needless to say they are a handful. Melissa came over the night before to meet them and check out their dynamic. She didn’t have to do this at all and it was so appreciated. She walked them he next day, kept us updated and responded fast with ANY questions. Bottom line is Melissa is a pro and will be using her for all future basset stop and smells/walks.”

About: I have owned, trained, and cared for 3 dogs and one cat over the past 10 years. They are my life and my passion! I currently own two dogs and one cat. They are well-mannered, loved, and very spoiled. My wife and I do not have kids so our pets get all our love and attention! I am very flexible and love walking, running or just spending time with animals. I have cared for pets with both regular and special needs. I have a home with a .5 acre fenced-in backyard and own two lovable golden retriever females (4 and year-old) and one (2-year-old) male that are great with both large and small breeds.

“Jade is absolutely amazing! Came over the day before to meet Boston. Asked questions about him and his routine that I didn’t think to consider. Super helpful last minute and is really flexible with my hectic schedule.”

She maintains their routines, plays with them, and keeps them safe and happy while I am away. I have had such a great experience with her as a pet sitter and will literally NEVER be using anyone else. She is so kind and truly holds a passion and love for animals, which alongside her experience, make her the most qualified candidate to take care of pets. I cannot say enough great things about her!”

I strongly recommend Gabriela as a pet sitter!”
