“First time using Rover and Clayton was absolutely amazing with my puppy Apollo. I had a last minute trip and Clayton was kind enough to look after him. From the moment I dropped off my pup, I knew he was so trustworthy and Apollo was in good hands. Communication was great, kept me updated with pictures and messages on how Apollo was doing. I went a little over my time and Clayton was very understanding and didn’t mind at all. I will 100% use Clayton again anytime I go out of town. 11/10”
“Larissa was great! She updated me each day to let me know how my little Reba was doing. She sent me pictures too. Reba came home exhausted as she had so much fun with Larissa and her family. I would highly recommend Larissa to anyone needing a pet sitter. I would love to book Reba with Larissa again. Thank you Larissa, you are absolutely amazing!”
“Amanda watched my German Shorthair I’m March 3025. She sent me personal messages and my dog seemed to be happy and well cared for. I would recommend Amanda and plan on using her again”
“Lillie had a great time! She conked out in the car as soon as we picked her up. Brittany sent us status reports and photos, which alleviated our worries about leaving Lillie behind. Great experience.”
“Chastity watched our pup with short notice and did such a fantastic job. She’s very professional and introduces her own dogs one at a time. Willow was so tired after a few days of playing at her house and we were so grateful for it! Thank you so much!”
“Beth is an excellent sitter. She takes great care of Houdini and Houdini loves her. We are peace-minded when we go out of town as we know our furry member of the family is in good hands.”
“Kimberly and her family welcomed our pup during our travels to Beaufort! She sent regular updates and made him (and me!) feel safe and comfortable. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Keeva seemed to have had a blast in the extremely busy home of Lucia. She loves people so she loved the crowds and other dog also. She’s exhausted since we brought her home.”
“Wonderful people with a friendly and beautiful dog. Really helped us out in a pinch and left me with a good piece of mind after drop off. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Talia was great she kept me updated on everything and was very quick to respond to messages. She took great care of my dogs while I was gone!”
“Caitlin made me feel so safe leaving my Boston terrier for the day. She sent lots of pictures, took her on walks, and let her lay outside to get her daily sun bathing in:) couldn’t recommend someone better!”
“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Aanchal took care of our pups. She sent us numerous videos and pictures during the day. They looked happy and content. She took them for a walk, gave them treats and love. I will say that my pups have been watched after before, but the care and love given by Aanchal and her hubby too was without any doubt at another level. She truly cared for them and most definitely will use her again. She was wonderful!”
“Edwina was amazing!! Our puppy had a blast. We received pictures and updates daily. We highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience with pets. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because they know I’m dependable, calm, and truly love animals. I create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making sure your pup feels at home while you’re away. As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play, and my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome to roam, nap on cozy beds, or play with a variety of toys. I can provide crates if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and keep things consistent with what your pup is used to. I only take a small number of pets at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day.
About: I’ve helped my baby through a hard battle with an autoimmune disorder. I’m capable of anything at this point. Especially, loving on pups that need their caretaker to go the extra mile. I’m able to drop in around lunch and/or house sit most every evening. I can especially help travelers that want to bring their dog on vacation but don’t want to have to do all the less fun activities for their pets. I’ll do whatever it asked of me while respecting your home, your loved fur baby, your money and your time. I truly do have your back.
“So very sweet, amazing communication! Our pup was very well loved and cared for. Highly recommend this awesome family to care for your pet!”
About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.
“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”
“Our English Setter (Denver) stayed with Susan over Spring Break. Denver can be a stress bomb when away from his normal routine and environment. Susan did a great job settling him down and taking care of him. When we picked him up, he was in perfect health, calm and relaxed. We will definitely use Susan again if we return to the Emerald Isle area with Denver.”

Cape Carteret dog parents share their Rover experiences
Susan took fantastic care of our girl. It was wonderful to leave her somewhere that she was treated like family. I will be using Susan’s services again!
We can’t say enough good things about Amber’s care. She understands canine behavior and goes out of her way to ensure our dog has the most comfortable time while in her home — whether it’s orchestrating positive dog play dates or going above and beyond to provide support during thunderstorms which scare our dog, she is outstanding. She asks detailed questions about his preferences and expectations so that she can help the transition and make him feel at ease. On our (human) end, we feel nothing but confidence and peace when we drop him off for his stay. 5 stars!
