“Avi was great! She was available to house sit out two dogs while out of town. We received updates while we were away and could tell they received lots of love and attention while we were away. She was available to come visit before our trip. Will look to book again!”
“Tram was a pleasure to work with. She was thorough and conscientious, thinking of things we hadn’t thought of to discuss and get clear about. She communicated throughout the care period. And it was clear she enjoyed being with our dog. We highly recommend Tram!!”
“Patricia was a blessing to us and our dog. She is definitely a dog whisperer, and Lila bonded with her so readily! Great walks, great photos, lots of love. And Pat is also a serious gardener. She kept the deer away from our lilies, and watered and weeded like it was going out of style. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Cassie did a great job caring for and playing with our two pups. She was prompt, kept us informed, and, most importantly, was liked by our doodles. Thanks Cassie!”
“Gretchen was wonderful with Heidi. Even our neighbors had nothing but wonderful things to say. I returned home to the exact same puppy, happy and reassured. And Gretchen provided lovely updates regarding how things were going! We will definitely be having her sit again!”
“Kimmy was great! Very easy to communicate with, respectful, and sent updates during her stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area.”
“Jax loved having Avery over to take care of him. She was always on time and took great care of him.”
About: Caring and friendly dog lover who gives lots of attention and exercise. I have a havenese at home who needs almost constant attention, he loves to go for walks in the woods and play fetch. I have lots of experience with smaller and older dogs. I have a lot patience for older dogs especially, my previous dog lived till he was 15 and needed constant care. I am available during the week and most weekends, and can house sit if necessary. I have a dog with medication and dietary needs. I have lots of experience with administering all types of pills and other forms of medication or dietary needs. I will make sure your dog and home are well taken care of while you are gone. I am allergic to cats, but can house sit if need be depending on the living situation for the cats. I prefer feeding, watering and changing litter boxes instead of house sitting. I am in between careers at the moment, and have lots of time to walk and house sit. I am open to all hours and days. I live in a house with a giant backyard. I can provide crating if necessary. I am also open to house sitting so your pet feels more comfortable.
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.
“Camille is AMAZING!! She took amazing care of our two dogs (one is a puppy so required extra attention) and two cats. She house sit and kept us updated with the pets, took care of our pets, and left the house cleaner than when we left it. Thank you so much Camille!!”
“Jessica was great with my cat and dog! She sent lots of photos throughout the week and left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely book her again in the future! :)”
“I highly recommend Aspen H. for dog/house overnight sitting! She just sat for our two dogs and did an excellent job. Aspen followed our instructions to the letter and had the extra responsibility with caring for our senior 13 year old. Our sheltie receives medication and has to be carried up and down the many steps to reach the backyard for bathroom breaks. Our shep mix has anxiety with thunderstorms and Aspen took this in stride. I was shocked to see that Aspen washed sheets and towels before leaving! Aspen had the patience with my welfare text checks and demonstrates warmth and understanding in her communication. She has a sweet humor and clearly loves animals. Thank you Aspen and Rover for making our trip possible!”
“Elise did a great job house sitting my dog for a weekend. She communicated well and followed instructions. I think my dog was very comfortable with her. Would use her again!”
“Lilly is amazing! She came to help our pup on the 4th during fireworks while we went to a concert. She was caring, kind, and loving towards our baby! Would definitely recommend her and book again!”
“Jessica is our new hero. She exhibited incredible professsionalism when working with us and SUCH amazing care of our animals. She stayed in our home just after Christmas when we went to visit family. Even in the cold, she took our very active dog for walks and sent pictures every day of our dog and cat to put us at ease. She even washed the sheets for the bed that she slept in and vacuumed. You could not even tell that anyone had stayed in our home. We are SO happy to have found her and can’t wait to book her again. Thank you, Jessica!!!”
About: I am a research tech looking to help out in my community with four legged friends. I am happy to hang out with a couch potato elderly dog or take a high energy pup on a long walk! I have two dogs of my own— one of which is a senior dog with severe arthritis. I understand the daily challenges that comes with and how that impacts owners! I love going on walks and if the dog knows how to play fetch I will play all day long- I also know a couple tricks I could teach them!
“Catherine stayed at our house with our dog for a 5 day trip. Our dog was very well taken care of, our house was very well taken care of, and we had regular, thorough communication from Catherine during her stay. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as well as my own. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and all temperaments. I am always open to spending time with your dog if you are away and can give them the play time and active time that they need. I am a full time student athlete and I always have free time during the day. On a weekly basis, I would have at least 3 days to with plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I don't have a fenced in yard, so outside time would be walks, dog park (if applicable) and long leash backyard time. I can crate if needed and I always make sure the leash/harness is on correctly for safety and comfort.

Alexander R.
“Alex has been our pet sitter for 5+ years. He has lovingly taken care of our aging pets! Our old dog, especially, needed extra TLC and Alex was always willing to go the extra mile (slowly, very slowly for old Bodie!). Bodie needed meds, and wound care, and Alex was tender and patient with him. He has even won our cat over, she greets him when he comes in the door. Alex has always been prompt, responsible, and quick to communicate when scheduling, or while pet sitting. I highly recommend Alex to take care of your pets.”

Our pups love having Tamie take care of them! She’s attentive and communicates regularly, which gives us peace of mind.
Chloe was super nice to all three kitties and took excellent care of them, the plants and the house while we were away. Highly recommended
We had a great experience with Avi. She was great with our dogs and communicated well throughout the week we were away.
Olivia was great- super reliable, communicated well, and Mavvy was very happy when we arrived home! Would absolutely book her again!
Olivia is just wonderful. She cared for our home and our two dogs with seamlessly! We have a 15 year old and 4 year old and she took special care of each. I knew she was a good fit from the moment she visited for our "meet and greet" as our old 15 year old lady dog actually wagged her tail. That doesn't happen with everyone! Dogs know a true heart when they see/smell one. Olivia was very communicative and updated us with pictures. Our two pups look forward to booking with her again soon! 5 STAR SITTER
Tram is amazing. Not only did she take great care of my babies but my house as well. Tram is very organized and responsible. I would recommend Tram to anyone.
We are very happy to have Anna’s help during our vacation. The dogs were well taken care of and in good spirits when we returned. We highly recommend Anna.
Amelia was great with our pets and even watered our plants! We came home to a happy dog & cat and a house that looked cleaner than we left it.
Cassie did a great job caring for and playing with our two pups. She was prompt, kept us informed, and, most importantly, was liked by our doodles. Thanks Cassie!
Beth was fantastic when taking care of our dogs and our home. She was in constant contact with us and sent us pictures throughout. She is kind and thoughtful. Couldn’t recommend her more.
Claire was very communicative! She sent us many photos and updates about our dog. She was very willing to add on another night last minute! We also had some water issues due to a storm while we were gone, and Claire handled it well and never complained! We will definitely let Claire watch our dog anytime!
Elise was wonderful and cared with my pup for the weekend. Thanks for coming to meet her and learning her routines. We hope to see you soon!
Elena did a great job for us and for Clyde, our large and somewhat unruly dog. Elena housesat for us for an extended period of time and left the house in a great condition. We'll look to use her again if the need arises.
Catherine did a terrific job caring for our sweet older dog while we were traveling. We loved getting a daily text and picture with an update. She is very responsible and everything we hoped for in a sitter. I highly recommend her!
Lauren was great with our very large dog. She stayed at our home for several days and even gave our dog a very thorough brushing. We will definitely be booking with Lauren again.
Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Patricia! Hands down, she is one of the best pet sitters I've had on Rover. My cats were well taken care of, and I particularly appreciated her careful administration of insulin to my diabetic cat. She ensured it was given on time every day. Additionally, she left my apartment spotless. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you, Patricia!
Rebecca took great care of the poodles and provided daily updates! I’m very grateful she was available to house sit!
Lilly is amazing! She came to help our pup on the 4th during fireworks while we went to a concert. She was caring, kind, and loving towards our baby! Would definitely recommend her and book again!
Megan was fantastic and we would rebook her in a heartbeat. She dog sat at our home for over a week and we came home to a happy dog and spotless house. Genuinely our dog was less excited to see us than usual! Which tells me she was unstressed, receiving lots of attention and living in her usual routine ❤️ What more can you ask for from a dog sitter?
