Ria was great with my 2 dogs and 1 cat. She came over a few days early for a meet and greet and was able to win their little hearts over some dog biscuits. I see she has many repeat customers, and I will continue to be one of them.

About: I’ve had 4 dogs in my life and have taken care of family friend pets since I was 12. I am a very calm sitter and have an excellent attention to detail. I am a graduate student who is usually on campus between 9am and 5pm Monday-Friday. I am flexible to come by before/after and house sit if need be! I take my client’s pets on walks, feed them regularly, give them treats and belly rubs. I also enjoy just spending quality time with my clients pets and will spend time relaxing with them and making them feel comfortable! I am really good with plants and can help out around the house if requested!

About: I have had dogs since a very young age. I have worked with young dogs, adult dogs, and elderly dogs. I have experience feeding, walking, and playing with dogs. I also have experience administering medicine in pill or syringe form, as well as caring for dogs with epilepsy. I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday, so during the week I would be able to stop by in the early morning, after work, and in the evening. During the weekends, however, I am completely free. I follow any directions the primary caregiver leaves for me, prioritizing keeping the pet's routine as consistent as possible. I will work with the caregiver to ensure they best experience for both them and their furry friends.

Thank you so much for caring for our "special " girl. She is a super sweet kitty when she gets to know you. I love that she actually came out and let you touch her, that's really rare with someone new.

Aspen is a fantastic cat sitter! I would give her 10 stars if I could. This is the first vacation I've taken with my boyfriend in 10 years because we have two cats, one of which is very special needs. Aspen took incredible care of my cats and made sure to give me updates. She also went above and beyond and made extra time for us when our cross country flight was delayed. I am more than happy with how she took care of our cats. She is phenomenal. <3

About: I’ve on and off taken care of pets of my friends and family since middle school, and my love for animals has yet increased! I also have a little dog of my own, and caring for her has been a pleasure. Currently, I am a college student attending UNC-Chapel hill! When I am home, I am on a daily routine to feeding, walking, and caring for my dog. Consistency is key for pet care! I have a little dog who loves attention, and I give her all of it! Furbabies are my favorite thing and they need play time, yummy food, clean water, and love!

Ginger (Alissa) has been dropping in on my pets consistently now for over a month or two. She is extremely responsive and professional. She always leaves a very detailed report that assures me that my babies are taken care of! It has been a pleasure working with her and I will continue to hire her consistently.

Rosa dropped in and walked my anxious dog during the day while I was out of town. She sent detailed updates after each drop in, which eased my mind as I was far from home. She followed all instructions perfectly. I would absolutely reach out to Rosa again in the future.

Emily was wonderful! She was friendly, polite, and left my home the same as when I left it. Her report card was good and helpful as well. Emily is also the only Rover I’ve booked so far where my puppy wasn’t a nervous wreck when I got home.

Tab did a great job! They have previous experience with rabbits which is a plus and gave me peace of mind. My rabbits are usually very shy and do not like new people entering their space so it was good to see photos of them relaxed and accepting treats. Would definitely book again!
