“Bella had a wonderful week-long stay with Heather. Heather was great about having a meet & greet beforehand and was very accommodating about having our adult son pick-up Bella before we returned to town. I love that Heather only takes one client at a time, has a huge fenced yard for play and took Bella on the daily walks she's accustomed to. Many thanks for loving our girl, Heather!”
“Megan is wonderful! My dog is a bit anxious and needs someone who can offer a lot of attention and care. Megan made me feel so at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands! Thank you Megan!”
“Gregg was very conscientious and took extra steps to ensure that our dog would have a successful stay. He sent photos and gave us reports on our dog’s experience. He seems to understand dogs and their personalities well.”
“Agus and his buddy, Harry Potter, are our go-to boarding hosts. They are both laid back, friendly and accommodating. My pup is always excited to be dropped off at Agus's place and runs inside without a backward glance. He is very pooped and happy when I collect him at the end of his stay with them. Agus is very comfortable handling my pup, and I trust Agus to care well for him. We always look forward to our next visit with Agus and Harry.”
“Vanessa and her family made our dogs feel right at home. When we returned, they were clearly happy and relaxed after their stay. Nothing could please us more than to know our puppies were safe and relaxed while we were away.”
“Benji had so much fun at Yvonne's house. He had two other dogs to play with and was worn out when he got home. I was so glad he could stay in a cozy home instead of being boarded in a kennel.”
About: I can usually take last minute requests, so feel free to ask. I have worked full time in a vet hospital as a nurse assistant. I am very familiar with the basics and more of pet care (cat, dog and small animals/reptiles). I love what I do and filling my free time with caring for pets, lights up my world. My variety of experiences with animals (outside my vet hospital position) include: working for Rover 7+ years; working for pet super market; volunteering at Carolina Tiger Rescue. I have an adorable goofy 87lb, lover of a chocolate lab pittie mix. I have owned a Maine Coon and an orange tabby cat and have pet sit for many more cats. I currently have a Haitian Tree Boa and am more than comfortable caring for reptiles also. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet! I am currently working as a bartender and server in a local restaurant, so I am not usually very far from town. I am always available to ask about last minute requests, especially in the case of an emergency. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and strengths, in many environments, so you can trust me to be able to work well with your dog. I am able to anticipate risks, and avoid populated times and areas if requested/suggested. I also have experience dealing with cats of many temperaments. I am comfortable with whatever level of attention and care (medical, physical, emotional) that your cat may need.

“Emily and William are true dog lovers, and always take such good care of our Molly. They are my go-to dog sitters because of the care and love and attention I know Molly is receiving. I know she’s in great hands when she’s with them.”

“Alice has done a great job taking care of my two pups. She was caring and provided us with timely updates, photos, and videos.

“Highly recommend! My dog can be a little anxious, but Anthony's peaceful household put him at ease. An added benefit was that he got to spend time with sweet-natured Indigo. Hope it works out that I can book with Anthony again some time.”

Jessica D.
“Our Experience - Jessica impacted our pet's life. Our dog, Robin, a high strung, active, stubborn female dog who isnt as receptive or cooperative with most humans was able to form a connection with Jessica. Jessica built a lasting relationship with Robin through walks, trips to dog parks/play dates with her male dog, Bear, and ensured Robin's overall health by educating us of the right food choices, treats, and care products as Jessica was our pet's supermarket go-to associate as well as our dog caregiver. Highly recommended, for all breeds and temperments.”

Carrboro dog parents share their Rover experiences
Denise is a wonderful sitter. She watched our two dogs for 10 days and provided us a lot of peace of mind. She and her husband were both warm, attentive and sweet with the dogs. Her home is well suited to caring for dogs and they adjusted quickly. Denise sent updates and photos throughout our trip and was quick to respond to messages before and during the dogs stay. They came home happy (and brushed)! I would definitely use Denise again when we need dog sitting.
This was my first time using Rover and Alexandra (and Walker) made it a great experience. Alexandra responded timely and when I met her, I knew she was a good fit for my dog. She walked my dog, took lots of pictures and shared photos and updates. I would highly recommend!
Heather is truly a one-of-a-kind dog sitter. She cared for my dog Rulo with such genuine love and attention that I felt completely at ease while I was away. Not only did she keep me updated and make sure all his needs were met, but she went above and beyond—she even baked him a dog-friendly cake for his birthday! It’s clear that Heather treats the dogs she watches as if they were her own. Rulo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored his time with her. I couldn’t recommend Heather more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter. She’s the best!
Mariell was an awesome sitter for our dog! She made sure to send frequent updates which I greatly appreciated. I know our dog spent soo much time outside at Mariell's place which I'm sure he absolutely loved. Her dogs and family also provided our pup company throughout the stay, so he was sure to stay engaged the whole time. Would highly recommend!
My dog had a wonderful time staying at Kylie’s house. He isn’t always interested in playing with other dogs but LOVED playing with her Golden. Kylie was great at sending updates, and I wasn’t sure my dog wanted to leave once the weekend was over because he was so content. Will definitely book with her again!
Mackenzie greeted me and my two pups at the door and instantly knew they would be loved! It was a last minute booking and I was nervous. She took AMAZING pics of my dogs (professional, I am telling you!) and I knew they were happy! Her son played with them too. I would not hesitate recommending her to take care of your pups!
