1. Miranda P.
“Wonderful sitter for my two pups… tons of room for them to walk and play, which is needed for my girls. Appreciated the communication and working they all the coordination efforts that went into my travel. They seemed to have a great time especially with her animals and pups.”
2. Naomi M.
“If y’all need a sitter in the Goldsboro area, Naomi is the one to go to! She was so caring of my dog and treated him amazingly. So great that he didn’t want to leave her place when I got back. All jokes aside Naomi did a phenomenal job at taking care of my lil boy. Highly recommend her!”
3. Margaret B.
“We cannot thank Margo enough for the love and care she showed our senior dog. They even administered meds for him. When we picked him up, he was so happy and we could tell he had the best time! Thanks again!”
4. Alexandria H.
“I could tell Rose really enjoyed her stay. Great with communicating and sending pics throughout Rose's time in her care. Quick responses, very caring and professional”
5. Shannon P.
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful! We needed a last minute booking right at Christmas and she was so accommodating and accepted our booking without any hesitation. I had already read good reviews before we booked with her but after having our dog stay with her, I’ll definitely be using her anytime we need a pet sitter! Highly recommend.”
6. Larry & Pamela S.
“Nikki Grace was spoiled and treated like an absolute queen. This was the perfect set up for her. Larry and Pam were friendly, attentive, and kept us well informed with pictures, videos, and texts updates daily. I recommend them to anyone who wants to know their fur baby is in good hands! I know ours little fur baby will be staying with them again❤️?”
7. Elisea J.
“Ollie looked happy and relaxed durning the stay with Elisea! I received update durning the stay. Drop off and pick up was very easy and convenient!”
8. Miriah W.
“Miriah was great! Pick up and drop off was super flexible, we even came home early and she was able to accommodate the booking. Would recommend 10/10! Plus our little guy is tuckered out.”
9. Kimberly L.
“It is obvious that Kimberly and her family are passionate about taking care of and rescuing animals. They love on their animals and I'm certain that Bella got as much love and care from Kimberly as I would have given her myself. Drop off of Bella was easy and Kimberly was very accomodating with a last minute time change when I departed for my trip a few hours later than planned. My 4 star review is due to poor communication. I am a pet owner who desires/expects frequent communication, photos and videos from a paid pet sitter (at least one time per day). I especially expect to get an update from a pet sitter within a few hours of drop-off to let me know how Bella is settling in, etc. Communication from Kimberly was not reliable and except for a couple of messages only came when I contacted her asking for an update. 24 hours after drop-off, I had heard nothing from Kimberly so I messaged her to enquire how Bella was getting along. Kimberly was always quick to reply but even after telling her that I expect at a minimum daily updates, it was still a struggle to get updates, photos, etc. She did eventually send a couple of updates without being asked. Pick-up was not as easy as drop-off. The day prior to my arrival home I informed Kimberly of my approximate arrival time and asked if that was convenient. She replied that she would be there all day. When I was approximately one hour away, I messaged Kimberly and told her I was on track for the time I had told her the day prior. She replied that she wouldn't be home until about 30 minutes after my arrival. When I mentioned the previous day's response about being home all day, she replied that her mother would take care of whatever Kimberly was supposed to be doing and she would stay home and wait for my arrival. This wasn't a huge deal but it was a little frustrating to not have better communication. And after a long drive, it would have been even more frustrating to have to wait around for her return home - especially when I had taken the time to communicate with her the day prior about my arrival time. I am aware that Kimberly had some family issues in the first couple of days of caring for Bella but I offered to have someone pick Bella up and make other arrangements for her care. Kimberly told me that wasn't necessary that she could continue to care for Bella. I am not unfeeling toward Kimberly's family situation but at the same time, she needed to understand she was not a volunteer pet sitter, she is being paid for a job and that she had MY family in her care and I needed to receive regular updates. Despite Bella receiving good care, I probably would not rebook with Kimberly just because of the poor communication.”
10. Megan L.
“This was my first time using rover.com. Megan was so great! She took in and cared for my pup and grandpup. She updated me on how they were doing and sent photos of them as well. I definitely recommend Megan! I got to focus on family without stressing over their care.”
11. Susan C.
“Susan really set the bar for my first time leaving my furbaby. She took really good care of my Oyá and kept me updated the entire time. Susan was very pleasant and attentive.”
12. Jennifer H.
“Ms Jennifer and her family are AWESOME! I am very pleased with the great weekend Drake had with them. He looked like he was having a great time in the pictures and video she sent during his stay. I will definitely be booking with her for any other time I will need to be away.”
13. Alondra B.
About: Ive had so much experience taking care of every kind there is. A lot of family and friends has always relied on me to take great care of their babies. I have been taking care of pets for two years now and I love it! I have part time job but more than enough time to be able to take care of your babies. But as my days are shorter throughout the week I have more than enough free time to help out :) I do not have a fenced gate as I live near nothing but fields but I will certainly watch your babies. I will watch them carefully whenever they are outside
14. Christy S.
“Christy and her children took excellent care of our older dog. She took the time to understand her fears and used patience in helping her acclimate.”
15. Jennifer R.
“Jennifer has helped watch my dog Sassy several times. Sassy is a border collie and husky mix so she needs a lot of attention and outside time. I am in the military so there are many times that I need to leave for months at a time and Jennifer was able to watch my dog while I was gone. She kept a feeding schedule, made sure my house was not messed up while I was gone, and I haven't had an issue with her at all. I think that she would be a good fit to take care of anyone's pet while they are away.”
16. Morgan H.
“Amazing!!! So responsive and our boys seemed to be so happy there. Can’t recommend enough!!!!”
17. Kentrice M.
“Kentrice kept me updated daily with Elsa. Her sending pictures often let me have peace of mind while I was gone. She was great with letting me know how she was doing. She took great care of my fur baby. Definitely recommend!”
18. Jessica K.
“We love Jessica and her family! She was amazing and had a welcoming home for our pup! She sent us pictures throughout Winnie’s vacation. I recommend Jessica and look forward to using her again.”
19. Sarah G.
About: My ultimate goal is to always treat animals as if they were my own. They all deserve the same love and respect that I show my own pets. Each animal is different, and has different needs. From couch potatoes to high energy pets, each need is catered to differently! I have several years experience in animal care, and am always up for a challenge. I have knowledge of basic first aid, and have experience in helping a variety of animals through the birthing process. I also have experience in caring for animals with health conditions such as diabetes, hip and joint problems, allergies, and even pets that deal with being blind and deaf. I also have bathing, brushing, deshedding, dematting, light trimming, and nail trimming experience. Let me help your pet feel safe and loved while you are away! I work part time at a facility that cares for dogs, and it leaves me plenty of extra time to help with others pets! I can generally arrange my schedule to what is needed. Using as much as time as is needed to make sure your pet feels loved, cared for, and safe. I have plenty of experience with dogs that are nervous around people they don’t know, so going at their pace until they feel comfortable with me.
