“Vanessa is a real dog lover! She sent video updates each day so we could see how our dog was adjusting. She clearly cares deeply about each pet being comfortable. She's great!!”

“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!”

“Emily is a great sitter! She sent cute pictures every day and it seemed like Rigatoni had fun at her place. He has a daily pill + cleaning routine for an infected nail and she did a great job with that. Rigatoni clearly loved hanging out with Emily and Lamar- we had a hard time getting him to leave! It was really easy coordinating pick-up and drop-off because Emily was really easygoing and flexible with times. We’re really glad we found her on Rover and I’m sure Rigatoni’s looking forward to staying with her again sometime soon!”

“Alice pet sat our 3 cats and dog for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went! This was our first time using her services, and she completely exceeded our expectations. What stood out most was her incredible communication. She sent detailed updates every day—even twice a day at the beginning—along with photos and videos. I wasn’t worried for a single moment because I knew what was going on with my pets in even more detail than if I had left them with my dearest friend. Alice didn’t just follow instructions—she genuinely problem-solved for our pets’ comfort. When she noticed the cats weren’t eating as much, she realized their food was near a cold window and moved everything to a warmer spot. She relocated all their things—food bowls, litter boxes, and water fountain—to the warmest room so they’d be comfortable. That kind of initiative really impressed us. She paid attention to each pet’s unique personality. She noticed Max loves carrying toys in his mouth (he even brought one on a walk and dropped it somewhere along the way!), that Dino meows toward the supply bags, and caught adorable moments like Ashly sleeping with her head hanging off the couch arm. She knew exactly which brush Dino goes crazy for and that Ashly loves being rolled over for pets. She was also patient and gentle with our shyest cat, Kailas, who spent most of his time hiding under the bed. She found ways to bond with him on his terms—leaving lollipop treats near him and noticing he’d quietly eat them when she wasn’t looking. By the end, she even had him eating from her hand! You can tell Alice genuinely loves animals. Her updates were full of warmth and personality that very often made us smile while we were reading them. We had complete peace of mind knowing our pets were in such attentive, loving hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Megan was wonderful! Our trip was much easier to lean into, knowing that Bea was in such amazing care. We'll definitely be seeing Auntie Megan when the far too rare getaway roll around.”

“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”

“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”

“Gregg is a true dog lover and a capable dog care taker. He helped me on very short notice and provided a fun day camp experience for my dog. He also sends summaries and pictures each day while you're away!”

About: I am a 20-year veterinary technician dedicated to safe, stress-free pet care. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and professional know-how At your service! I currently work Full time in Chapel Hill as a Lead Technician/Manager role in Veterinary Medicine , I work the hours 9:30am-12 pm 2pm -5pm Monday Through Friday, available and flexible hours ! I have a Fenced yard and separate areas for when animals are kept in my home. I have two large friendly dogs that are kept separate from anyone boarding. We also have 1 cat in the home, if your pet is not cat friendly no worries we will make the required arrangements!
“Anthony took great care of Norm. Anthony sent us pictures while we were away - it is always great to see your pet being happy while you are away. Norm seemed to love his time there. We definitely will book again!”

“Joe and Hitoko took care of our Lady Lou for more than a week, and she had the best time with them. I’m so thankful! My girl is usually very nervous and slow to warm up to people—sometimes she even gets stressed at home with us. But Joe made her feel safe, loved, and cared for. As an overprotective dog mom, getting regular updates, photos, and videos was such a comfort. It honestly felt like a family member was looking after her. They’re the best pet sitters—thank you so much!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals since I was a kid. That being said, I’m comfortable around dogs, cats, exotic pets, birds, reptiles- you name it, I’m a huge animal lover! When I moved away for college I brought my childhood dog with me who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she faced some health issues as she got older, but I was lucky enough to be able to care for her until she was 17! Because of my time spent with her, I am comfortable and experienced with dogs from the puppy age to seniors, have administered pills and topical medication numerous times, have no problem with bathing and grooming, etc. I also fostered a dog and started up my rover after my dog passed and since then I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many more fur babies. No pet is a challenge for me! I work full time during the week, but am looking to fill my free time with a serotonin boost from your pup! I love dogs and as a dog owner, I know that it’s sometimes hard to fit 3 walks a day into a crazy packed schedule, or spontaneously take a day trip somewhere, so I’d like to help! I am typically available for evening walks during the week but and completely flexible on weekends! It is my goal to ensure you that I will be respectful of your home and privacy, as well as your dogs normal schedule. I am reliable and trust worthy, and can adapt to any dogs personality, whether they are shy, reactive, hyper, or sleepy! I’ve walked dogs as small as 5 pounds to as big as 90, so no dog will be a challenge! I’m very attentive while on walks to make sure your dog does not hurt themself/ eat something they shouldn’t/ mess with another dog. I can be flexible with any precautions I’d need to take with your dog whether that be medication, assistance with mobility or anything else! Your dogs comfort is my first priority!
“Nathan and his wife were awesome! Very attentive to our dog and his needs. Sent lots of updates and kept to his schedule. This was our first time using rover and we are so glad that we found such wonderful people to take care of our baby. I highly recommend them.”

“This was our second time using Denise and our (often shy) dog seemed very glad to see her -- what more could you want? Denise was also helpful and flexible when our travel did not go quite as planned. We will certainly use her again!”

“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”

Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!

Gregg has been our favorite pet sitter during our time in NC. He is very professional, and his house has a beautiful and big fenced yard in a quiet area. We reliably received happy and fun pictures of Molly while we were away and that gave us peace of mind. I can’t recommend Gregg enough!

Emily and Lamar were amazing! They took great care of our little guy and he has an absolute blast. They kept us informed and updated the entire stay with pictures and messages. We really appreciate them and can’t wait to book with them in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Molly and Henry and their dog Hank were wonderful hosts for our dog Lucy. They welcomed her into their home, took her for walks, and gave her lots of love. Lucy had plenty of human and canine company over the week. Molly was super responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos. We wouldn't hesitate to book them again next time we travel. Thank you!!

We were away for 10 days, and Africa took great care of our senior dog Dexter. She was very attentive to his needs and kept to his schedule, ensuring he felt comfortable and at ease the entire time. Throughout our trip, Africa kept us updated with photos and messages, which really put our minds at rest. She’s quick to respond and was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We’re so grateful for her care, and we’d absolutely trust her with Dexter again in the future!
