About: I grew up with cats and dogs and am comfortable and eager to help you care for yours! Due to family allergies, I can no longer care for furry friends in my own home… so I’ve decided to help you care for yours! I have experienced the whole life cycle with various pets over the years. From puppies to seniors, I know how to approach pet care and even medication management. I work full time Tuesday - Friday but am still available on those days for short drop-ins or walks after 5 pm if you live in the Panther Creek or Preston areas. I am available all day Saturday - Monday for longer drop-in visits or hikes/walks! I have plenty of energy and can help your pets let out theirs with brisk walks or leisurely strolls - depending on their preference! I love a game of fetch or laser tag, string toys and catnip are also favorites. But don’t worry, I am also happy to lounge on the floor or sit in the shade if your pet prefers that! Your furbaby(ies) will always be the only pet(s) I am with during a booked visit - so my attention is completely on them. I will ensure your pet is left with a clean box/new pads, fresh water, and a treat. Leashes are a must if your pet is going outdoors (unless you have a securely locked gate). On walks I keep a large safety bubble to avoid getting too close to other pets or people - in my experience this has proved helpful in avoiding potentially dangerous situations. You’ll receive plenty of photos and updates from me during your booked visit as well!
“I have used Sarahbelle as my dog walker for multiple days now and am very impressed! She is so responsive to my messages and the sweetest to my dog. She also has sent me some of the cutest pictures of my dog that I have seen. He always looks really happy! Would 100% recommend.”
About: Over 20 years of experience of dog walking pet sitting - from puppies to older pups. Currently working towards certification to become a veterinary assistant :) I'm a teacher so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and walk your pets during the late afternoon and early evenings. During the school year I'm often available on Weekends and holidays. I am currently not hosting pets in my home as I have a grumpy senior dog prone to seizures if overly excited. At your home, I will follow any rules or boundaries that you set in place :)
“We left our Marley for the first time in her life of 12 years. We are so thankful for Olga. Not only did she ease our worries, Marley found herself a friend. Thank you so much! 🤍”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. My own chihuahua recently passed away, so while I’m not ready for a dog of my own, I'd love to take your friend for great walks. I’m punctual, reliable, and very communicative—you’ll always know how your dog is doing. I’m experienced with Chihuahuas, Pugs, Labradors, Newfoundlands, and Beagles, and I’m happy (and able) to match your dog’s pace, routine, and energy level. I’m comfortable with: Dogs of all sizes Leash training and structured walks Senior dogs and dogs with slower mobility High-energy breeds that need longer or more active outings Your dog’s safety and happiness come first, and I’d love to be someone they’re excited to see. My schedule is open, so I can offer flexible accommodation for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. I'm happy to accept both routine and last minute requests. I walk every day and would love for your pet to join me! I am very familiar with the neighborhoods and walking paths in the area. As a walker myself, I understand the importance of staying vigilant and aware of my surroundings, such as traffic and other pets. When walking, I will ensure your dog is leashed and safe at all times. I will honor all special requests and requirements to ensure the best care for your pet. Specific to senior dogs, I am familiar and comfortable with providing specific care and attention to mobility needs.
“Sriya is so patient with Barney's "quirks". She not afraid to step in for him to get to know her and is firm when she needs to be. So thankful to find a walker/pet sitter willing to work slow in gaining his trust!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve always had pets in the house since I was a little girl and currently have a 3 year old pup of my own. We trained her from puppyhood, and I have learned even more about patience, communication, and unconditional love since adopting her. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from daily dog walks to full-week overnight care. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or extended pet sitting, I always treat each pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away because I know how important this is for all our pets. I’m currently working a full time job but have unique hours where the alternate days and have a half day Friday. I also get every weekend off. I can use my later work days, short Fridays, or weekends to help walk or check on your pets. When I help take care of pets in the home, I always make sure I know the specific details I need to make the pets feel comfortable with me and taken care of. I have helped care for very friendly and also very scared pets and have always found they warm up to me quickly. I remain calm and loving to all the furry friends I help watch.
“David was awesome! I loved getting the updates and loved seeing that my dog was being taken on 30 minute walks, which most walkers don’t actually do! David is responsive and reliable and can’t wait to have him help out with Luna in the future!!”
About: With 16 Years of Unwavering Dedication to Canine Companions, I Offer Your Beloved Dogs Unmatched Care and Devotion! As a seasoned dog sitter, I have honed my passion for providing the utmost love and attention to furry friends for over a decade and a half. My journey in pet care began with a deep-seated adoration for dogs and a commitment to ensuring their happiness and well-being. Over the years, I've nurtured countless canine connections, fostering bonds that extend beyond mere pet-sitting. My extensive experience has allowed me to master the art of understanding each dog's unique personality, needs, and preferences. From energetic playtime to soothing cuddles, I tailor my care to suit the individuality of every dog I meet. Furthermore, I take pride in my ability to handle various situations with poise and professionalism. From administering medications to providing emergency care, I am well-equipped to handle any scenario that may arise. My home has become a second haven to many dogs, where they enjoy a safe, clean, and nurturing environment during their stay. Rest assured, with my 16 years of expertise, your cherished dog will receive the finest care, attention, and love, ensuring their tail never stops wagging during your absence. Choose me, and let your four-legged family member thrive under my experienced, compassionate care. I am presently a homemaker, responsible for waking my son and ensuring he gets off to school. With my days primarily spent at home, I have ample time to engage and play with furry pals I'm here to ensure your pet receives the care they deserve, offering feeding, walks, and playtime as often as necessary. Additionally, I'm more than happy to take them to dog parks, providing opportunities for them to socialize and enjoy the company of other furry friends.
About: I've been working with animals since I was 18, when I began volunteering with my local humane society, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing, and handling animals. I went on to work as a veterinary assistant at an animal clinic/hospital, where I learned more about handling animals and administering medications for cats and dogs. I no longer work at a veterinary office because I'm currently in an online bachelor's degree program that makes a traditional full-time job difficult to manage. But my schooling is incredibly flexible and I love working with animals, so part-time pet care is perfect for me! I have done pet-sitting for cats and dogs in the past, but I am also comfortable working with fish (I had a beloved betta fish in high school). I am definitely open to caring for other animals, but I would need additional instruction to compensate for my inexperience. I have particular experience with special needs animals because my own cat, Birdie, has hind limb paresis. She scoots around instead of walking, wears diapers, and has daily oral medication. "Special needs" encompasses a wide range of conditions, so I won't pretend to know how to care for all disabled animals but my personal experience provides me with the patience and flexibility to learn about the particular needs of your pet. I'm currently in a flexible online degree program that allows me to shape my schedule around my clients. Pet care through rover offers me supplemental income and ensures that I get out of the house regularly! I understand that every animal is different, so I don't have a universal approach to pet-sitting. I believe enrichment is essential to an animal's wellbeing and I incorporate that into my pet care. I make sure to take time to play with pets as well as feed, walk, or clean after them.
About: I've had dogs since I was born and I gained a lot of experience caring for sick and elderly dogs as I grew up with my dogs. I've been my friend's chosen cat sitter for four years, caring for all 5 of their cats, young and old. I have a flexible part time schedule where I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I am happy to spend nights or just stop by during the day. Let me know exactly how to make your pets feel at home and safe and I will do everything I can to make them feel special all the time.
About: I have experience caring for dogs for family and friends, including feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine and personality, and I will follow your instructions carefully to help your pet feel safe and comfortable while staying with me. I currently accept one dog at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during the week and on weekends, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s normal routine. I accept only one dog at a time so I can provide individual care and supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and accept only one dog at a time. Since I work from home, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and regular supervision throughout the day. I carefully follow each pet parent’s feeding, walking, crate, medication, and sleeping instructions, and I’m happy to send photos and updates during the stay.
About: I've taken care of dogs including those with special needs since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors and family have requested my services. I am also comfortable pet sitting cats and other animals. I am available full-time all summer. I am a Wake Tech student so will also be available throughout the fall of 2026 and the spring of 2027. We have a fenced yard to keep our dogs safe. But we also walk them each day to get exercise. I am comfortable taking dogs out on a walk for 30 minute plus time slots depending on the dog's needs. I am comfortable with dogs who are leash reactive.
“Kelsey has been walking my dog Lobo for a few weeks now. She's always on time and let's me know we'll in advance if something comes up. I look forward to receiving her detailed reports everyday. She also takes lots of great pictures.”
About: I’ve been around a variety of animals since I was a child. My mom was obsessed with animals and worked at a pet store. We had just about 1 of everything in our home. Caring for animals is a passion of mine . I have a 5 year old Australian shepherd who loves all dogs. Nurse manager who works a hybrid schedule. Somedays I’m home and others I’m 8 minutes from my home. I have the ability to make my own schedule, with the exception of in person meetings on Tuesday. I will treat your fur baby as my own! I’ve been on rover since 2021 . I use it when I travel and have loved being a part of ROVER.
About: Hi pet parents! I’m a dog and cat mom, foster parent, and Registered Veterinary Technician. I have dedicated my life to caring for all kinds of animals and truly believe that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I know how stressful it can be to leave them with someone else. I’ve been in your shoes. So whether your pet is a tiny lap dog, a giant couch potato, an independent cat, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My sweet pup Summer was a stray dog I found on the streets of North Carolina. She reminds me daily just how important patience, understanding, and meeting an animal where they’re at can be. I know that not every pet immediately feels comfortable with a new person or environment, and I’m more than happy to take things at their pace and give them the time they need to feel safe. You can expect regular photo and video updates, because I know how much better it feels to see your pets happy and enjoying themselves while you’re away As a relief RVT, my schedule is pretty flexible which makes it convenient for me to fit your pet sitting needs into my day-to-day work. At this time I am not taking any boarding bookings but will happily watch your pets in the comfort of their own home I follow all rules and instructions provided by the pet parent to the T, as you know your pet best! I will respect your home and pets as if they were my own

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carpenter
We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She has gone above and beyond to help and support us, always showing such genuine care and compassion for our dog, Milo. When he was unwell, she was incredibly understanding, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She has also been wonderfully flexible and accommodating, which has made such a difference. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as her own. Knowing our dog is in such caring, capable hands gives us complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful for everything she does and feel incredibly lucky to have found her!
Molly is an excellent sitter! She cared for our senior dog for a daytime walk and followed all the instructions we asked of her. She is a great communicator and has a really nice personable vibe to her. You can tell she’s a genuine person. She provided a detailed update with photos. We’ll be using her next time we need doggy services. Thank you, Molly!
Natasha is the best!! She agreed to take on a weeks worth of dog walking on short notice, and even showed up the day before it was supposed to start (on a Sunday) to meet my dog to ensure their time together would go well. Her communication and positive interactions were simply the best!! Recommend Natasha to anyone!!!!
Qianyu is an excellent dog sitter/walker and I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for quality care for their pet-children! She is very punctual, caring, and has excellent communication. I have three very needy dogs who are quite the handful! Qianyu always comes on time, sends pictures and updates of the walks and leaves them happy. I can read my dogs well and can usually tell a good sitter from a not so good one by my dogs' demeanor, and my dogs are always happy with Qianyu - thank you!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carpenter. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
