“Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!”


“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for almost 10 years. I got my own first cat 6 years ago from the shelter, and kept going with a barn kitten, two puppies and then a 4 week old kitten off the side of the road. I’ve successfully crate trained both of my dogs and have had to administer medication to both dogs and cats. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m home every day with our 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love being with my cats especially. My cats are very different, with different temperaments and different needs. My long term goal is to open a cat cafe that acts as a kind of foster home while the cats wait to be adopted! I am more than happy to spend time with your kitties, giving pets, feeding them, scooping litter, and especially playing with the kitties favorite toys! Anything to make your furry best friend a little more comfortable while they wait for you to come home! Additional instructions are always helpful too!

“Caroline was absolutely great! She took great care of our two dogs while we were away. We have a quirky and high strung border collie as well as an 11 year old German Shepherd who needs a little extra TLC. We felt comfortable that Carolina could handle them with her veterinary background - she is very responsive and responsible. We highly recommend her. Thanks again, Caroline!”


About: I have raised my sweet cat Sneaky since she was a kitten, as well as my dog Mabel since she was a puppy. I have had Sneaky for 7 years, and Mabel for 5. They are my life! I also have some grooming experience, so I am familiar with animals in a professional setting as well. I currently work for Instacart and attend NC State University. I'll be able to take care of your pets any time I'm not in school! I will care for your pets to your exact specifications and keep them great company! I am available for walks, drop ins, and some house sitting!

“Grace provided a purrrfect cat sitting experience! This was our first time leaving our dear Stella behind for more than a day or two so we were initially very nervous about the whole thing. Now we couldn't be happier that we decided to go with Grace for our cat sitting needs! Her communication was impeccable throughout the entire process and I received wonderful updates complete with adorable photos after every visit. She was punctual, reliable, and treated our home with the utmost respect. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch cat sitter.”


About: 7 years of loving your pets. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — not just as pets, but as companions, teachers, and joy-bringers. I’ve always felt most at peace when I’m surrounded by animals and nature. Whether I’m hiking a quiet trail with a furry friend by my side, playing fetch in an open field, or simply relaxing on a porch after a long day outdoors, I find happiness in the simple, grounded connection that dogs and the natural world provide. I value patience, kindness, and structure — all qualities that guide the way I care for animals. For me, caring for dogs isn't just a job — it’s who I am at my core. I am a dedicated and compassionate animal care professional with hands-on experience in canine enrichment, behavioral observation, and facility operations. At Woof Pack Pet Services in Boone, NC, I served as an Enrichment Counselor, Kennel Attendant, and New Hire Trainer, where I led tailored group enrichment sessions to promote dogs' mental well-being, trained new staff in safe and effective animal handling protocols, and developed individualized care plans for dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I also administered medications, monitored health changes, and maintained strong communication with both clients and veterinary professionals to ensure timely care. At Mills River Dog Camp in Mills River, NC, I expanded my leadership skills as a Shift Supervisor, managing the daily care of over 50 dogs, supervising staff, and implementing training and de-escalation strategies for anxious or reactive dogs. I’m experienced in maintaining detailed health and behavior records and have consistently prioritized both animal welfare and client satisfaction through attentive care, structured routines, and open communication. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just getting someone who knows how to follow instructions — you're getting someone who genuinely cares. I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, or a little extra anxiety. I treat every animal with the same level of attentiveness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I believe in clear communication, both with animals and their people, and I always aim to provide peace of mind through consistent care, safety, and respect. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral part of my life and a true passion. Daily, I dedicate time to understanding and meeting each animal’s unique needs—whether it’s through enrichment activities, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Over the years, I’ve developed routines that prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of pets in my care, balancing structured schedules with flexibility to respond to individual behaviors and health changes. Weekly, I continuously update my knowledge on animal behavior and care techniques to ensure the highest quality of service. I am now seeking to turn this dedication into a full-time career where I can combine my hands-on experience, love for animals, and commitment to their welfare to make a meaningful difference every day. I tailor my pet care approach based on the environment and individual needs of each animal. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and engaging space with plenty of enrichment activities, consistent routines, and close monitoring of health and behavior to ensure pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I focus on maintaining consistency to reduce stress, providing companionship, administering medications if needed, and keeping the environment clean and secure. Communication with the pet owner is key to ensuring their pet’s needs are met and any concerns are promptly addressed. My priority is always the well-being and happiness of the pet, adapting my care style to create a positive, trusting experience whether at home or theirs.

“Rachel was great watching our 2 dogs and 3 cats. We had a different company ditch us 12th a before we were scheduled to fly out and we were able to find Rachel on this app. She was great and accepted our last second request and did the meet n greet just 2 hrs later. She really did save us as my wife would have had to stay behind if we didn’t have someone. She updated us with pictures each visit (7 visits total) which was really neat and allowed us to see our fur kids. Would highly recommend anyone needing a pet sitter to use Rachel. Thanks for you mr help!”


About: I grew up with family dogs and cats. You name it, we’ve had the breed. From chihuahuas, to huskies, to dobermans, to great danes. Therefore extremely comfortable with all sized fur babies. I have experience with all ages, from puppies as we have bred our great danes years ago, twice, to elderly dogs who are blind and/or deaf. etc. I actually have my own pup, she is a husky. Her name is cora and she is definitely a handful but i am blessed my hands are full with a smart, funny yet stubborn puppy haha. I also have cats, lazy fat house cats haha. I was looking for job opportunity that will allow me flexibility, work with fur babies (may or may not like them better then humans haha) and to be a mom to my 10 months old daughter as well, that is why i am pursuing Rover in hopes i can do it all at once. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies soon :) My pets daily care is naturally apart of my daily routine, she is family. Not just an animal. Animals cannot fend for themselves, it is important to me that my animals feel important, instead of a burden. My husky, Cora, is walked every two hours and fed two meals a day and has access to water 24/7. I am flexible to learn other animals schedules and eating times, as every animal is different.

“Casey was great with our rambunctious, high energy dog. He came to the house, timely. Spent time outside with him, playing fetch and wearing the dog’s derrière out, so when I got home, after long, 12 hour shifts, the dog was content. This helped minimize any destructive behaviors, I might otherwise have had from a high energy dog, after being cooped up for 13 hours. He even played in the rain with him. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again.”

Makenna L.
“I have had the pleasure of watch Makenna become a pet owner and have been around her ever since. She is one of the most caring and loving people in the world. She loves and cares for all animals. She rescued two of her own cats, one of them found on the side of the road. She immediately took the kitten into her home and made it one of the luckiest, most spoiled cats ever. She always is doing research to make sure they are getting the healthiest food for them, getting enough water, and making sure they are just overall in proper health. Her love for cats is so huge she one day wants to open a cat cafe to help cats get adopted. She would be an awesome pet sitter to any and everyone.”

“Hello, My name is Julia. I’ve known Jocelyn roughly 22 years, our mothers were childhood friends. Jocelyn has an extraordinary relationship with animals, she definitely is more fond of them than humans. She is so understanding of animals and their nature in ways i cannot begin to comprehend, her empathy for them are so deep. She is patient, loving, and has a welcoming spirit. Animals tend to cling to her from what i have witnessed growing up. I truly believe all fur babies would be more than safe and loved in her care.”

Stephanie H.Star Sitter
“Stephanie cared for my little friend “puffy” for a week when I had to travel for a week for business. I couldn’t decide what the right decision should be ? Bring him , ask a friend or relative , look I got a dog hotel? But then I found rover and the availability matched me with Stephanie. Puffy and I were both very happy with our choice. She had great communication and from photos looked like a clean and fun environment for a dog or more. for my next travel I’d like to use Rover and hope Stephanie is available and if not someone like her”

Judith S.
“I have known Judith for over 12 years and can honestly state that her love for all animals is beyond question. Her care and love for her GSP, Dax, is without limits. The same can be said in regards to other animals. If a strange cat enters her yard, she immediately attempts to coax the cat closer so she can pet and comfort the animal. When her family has been over to visit, their dogs too get equal treatment as if they were hers. I know she takes the time to walk Dax more often than most. Judith is always attentative to the needs of the animal.”
