“Dana is an absolute gem! Our cats adore her, and it's clear she loves them just as much. Leaving our pets is never easy, especially with our specific routines, but Dana's patience and warmth quickly won them over. We would look forward to her visit updates every day, and she took ample adorable pictures every single visit. She has a natural intuition with animals and goes above and beyond in her care, treating our cats with genuine love. We couldn't ask for a better sitter!!!”
“Betsy was fantastic with our cat and four chickens! We left for a few days during a heat wave and I was very anxious leaving the chickens while temps were in the high 90s. Betsy sent lots of updates and even did an additional check in when I got nervous that one of the hens might be sitting on eggs and not drinking. She was also great with our cat who takes oral medication. Everyone was happy and healthy when we got home! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Lila did a wonderful job of taking care of my cat. She checked in each time with photos and description of how everything was going. My cat who usually does not like strangers even came out of hiding to interact and get some attention. It’s clear that Lila cares deeply about animals and does a good job of ensuring they are well taken care of. She also gave my cat her medication without any issues. I would happily use her again.”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility in Texas throughout high school, where I gained experience caring for pets and administering medications when needed. Alongside that, I started my own pet sitting business, which I continued through college. Now that I’ve relocated to North Carolina, I thought I’d give Rover a try! During the summer, I have open availability, and during the school year, I’m available outside of my class times. I also work remotely, so I can work from anywhere, making it easy to fit pet care into my daily schedule. I only offer pet care in my client’s home to help keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their usual routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“Cassie responded quickly to my request for a pet sitter, took great care of my dog, and shared photos with each visit. I will reach out to her for future bookings, and I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Aspen took great care of our senior cat with medication needs! She was super communicative and took her time during visits to make sure olive got all the love and pets she needed. 10/10 would book again.”
“Andrew was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our two kitties! My schedule didn’t allow for a meet and greet ahead of time, but his prompt and thorough communication made me feel completely comfortable taking care of our little buddies. He sent detailed updates, pictures, and his care for the animals he works with really comes through! Can’t recommend him enough 🐾”
“Another great experience with Gretchen! She cares for our cats and our home like her own and consistently goes above and beyond (even noticed our oven was left on). Thank you!”
“Autumn was great taking care of my cat Pandora. She always informed me about everyting in detail and took nice pictures of Pandora, letting me know she was doing fine. She is a kind person and always stayes on top of everything. I would definitely book Autumn again. Super recommended.”
“Samantha watched our cat for 11 days and she was always communicative and responsive and sent lots of pictures. I felt much better knowing she was taking care of him!”
“Athens was absolutely fantastic, showed my girls a ton of love and took great care of them… as well as snagged a super cute pic that my husband and I want to frame now! Can’t go wrong with her, will definitely be booking again 💕”
About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!
About: I've always loved animals, and several dogs have "owned" me over the years. I lost my bestest girl about 2 years ago and I still mourn her. Now that I'm retiring, I can't think of a better way to spend my time than helping care for your furry family members. I have experience with senior dogs, as well as giving meds. I've watched pets for friends and family for years. I'm currently retired and only working for a few hours on Tuesdays - and am home by 1:00 on Tuesdays, so I'm able to give long walks and snuggles. I'm able to stay in your home any day of the week. I live alone so your pet/s will have all my attention. I live in an apartment and will walk your pup several times a day with at least one long (@2 miles) walk if weather and their health allows. I allow pets on the furniture and on the bed if they are used to that. I'm happy to send update pics during the day. I admit that I have lots for my favorite pet friends, but I don't often do selfies, so the pics on here show pets that I've cared for doing activities, but don't include me.
“Diana was such a thoughtful cat sitter (and friend!) to Kitty. She is so communicative and made us feel like Kitty had good company while we were away. Appreciate all of it!”
About: I have taken care of my own animals and those of others since I was very young. I have been the go-to caretaker for many family members and friends for years, and I love the responsibility of caring for their prized pets. I am a graduate student, so I can fit visits in most times of the day after noon. I am happy to be flexible and can add in visits to my schedule easily. I am a committed walker and caregiver and will do whatever is required to give your pet a happy time while you are away. I am happy to just sit and spend time with them so they are not alone or give them undivided attention so that they feel loved and seen.
“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties! She was very kind and interactive with my cats- a true animal lover! I am a crazy, over-the-top cat mama and felt so comfortable leaving my spoiled, very playful girls in her care. She followed their care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in staying longer to play with them and sending tons of great pictures! They both looked so comfortable, happy, and playful and I am so grateful! I will reach out to Sherry anytime I need a sitter. Thank you so much!”
About: I can’t have my own dog right now, so I’d love to hang out with yours! I grew up with dogs (puppies to old dogs) and I have watched friends’, neighbors’, and family members’ dogs for them. I am responsible and will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I work on campus ~9-5 pm (M-F), but my schedule is somewhat flexible if hours need to be adjusted for the pet. I am available all day on weekends and most weeknights. I am a responsible PhD student and will do my best to take care of both your pet and your home and follow any specific guidelines from you. I will take your dog on a run in the morning if you’d like, and I’d love to play with your dog/cat. :) I’m also happy to transport your pet in my car.

Jordan M.
“Jordan recently took care of my 15 year old diabetic cat for 2 weeks and was absolutely amazing. Merlin has to have insulin shots every day and that was no problem for Jordan. For the first time Merlin did not hide upon my return. He obviously had been loved and well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Jordan for pet care. She is very trustworthy, confident and loving. Our pets are in great hands with Jordan.”

Frances "Christy" C.
“I enthusiastically recommend Frances to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and reliable caretaker for their pets. She has been providing care for my 3 dogs (a lab, a border collie mix, and a hound mix) for 10 years. She has a genuine love for animals and is exceptionally caring and attentive to the individual needs of each of my dogs, including administering medications, managing exercise routines, and addressing the complex needs during the puppy months. She always takes the time to understand any specific instructions I have. I feel completely confident that my dogs are in safe and capable hands. Additionally, Frances has a wonderful connection with my dogs, who clearly love being in her care.”

Samuel M.
“Sam loves animals more than anyone else I know. He is great with them…especially cats and dogs. He has his own cat that he adores and has trained to do things that most cats don’t do. He was great with our two dogs—very trustworthy and responsible when asked to take care of them. He would get up early to let them out and to walk them. One of them needed meds and special food, and that was never a worry when Sam was in charge of them. And he loved to take the younger, more active one to play with the Chuck-It at the fields near our house. He was good about enforcing their training and manners too. I would trust him to take care of any of our pets.”

Abbie W.
“Abbie took care of my dog Myrtle and cat Maggie for a couple of weeks while I was with my family and did a great job! She played with both of them so much (Myrtle has so much energy and Abbie was always engaged) and both animals were well taken care of and not stressed when I came back. Highly recommend!”
