“10/10, couldn’t be happier or more grateful with John and Zena’s level of love and care for our rat terrier, Luna. Luna is a high energy, sometimes high maintenance dog who has a history nipping people and other dogs, so we were nervous about using Rover. John clearly is a seasoned vet when it comes to dogs, as Luna was quickly smitten by him. His 3 pups were equally kind and welcoming of our little Luna. Very grateful to have peace of mind we can travel and know our dog is enjoying her own vacation and John and Zenas house! John, Zena and her 3 dogs are Luna’s new best friends!”

“Courtney was absolutely amazing! From the moment we connected, they were responsive, professional, and clearly passionate about pups. They took incredible care of my girl Rosie, and I could tell right away that she was in great hands. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos — it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rosie looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. When I came back, everything was just as I left it, and my pet was calm, content, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with Courtney and Kailee again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care!”

“Kristin, James, & Hannah were amazing! They took such great care of Theo and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. They were incredibly kind to both Theo and I. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands.”


“Shelly was awesome! She gave me daily updates on Mako while I was out of town. I knew my dog was safe and in good hands. I will definitely use Shelly in the future.”

“Our pups had an awesome time and I’m pretty sure they didn’t want to leave. Thanks for taking amazing care of our German Shepherds. Excellent communication and updates. Worked with everything we asked and very responsive to all messages. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“My family went out of town for Easter, and I was a bit nervous about my 1st time using Rover. However, Vania's kindness, competence, and daily "pup-dates" put me at ease. She is an excellent communicator, thoughtful, and we will definitely be using her in the future! If you need someone to trust with your fur-babies, look no further! Thanks again, Vania!”

“Nova had a great time with Melody and Matthew’s family. She loved having other dogs around her and felt safe at all times. Appreciate you both. Really made my trip that much better knowing she was well taken care of”

“OMG! Michael and his wife are awesome! They kept my 14 year old Pitbull and loved every piece of him. They are a very loving couple and Im pretty sure I will use them again to sit for us. Awesome caregivers and I highly recommend them.”

“I never have to worry when I go out of town when she is taking care of my cat emily. She is an excellent caregiver. She has no problem giving oral medication. Emily loves to talk to her. She absolutely adores her pet sitter/boarder when her mommy is out of town. I really really appreciate her taking great great care of my baby girl.”

“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Armonee. My dogs first time with a boarder and she could not have made things easier for him and me. Her communication is top tier with regular texts, photos and concerns. She is caring, gentle and tailors her approach to fit the animals needs, like she did with my special needs senior dog. She treats pets like they are her own and it is obvious from the moment you meet her. I trusted her completely and will be rebooking with her in the future. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a safe and loving place for your pet. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.”


“Took very good care of my fur baby!! He even had to think twice about leaving and coming home with me! I was almost offended but so glad he felt safe, loved and comfortable! She even went out her way to buy him a new bone when he finished all of his! Already booking her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”

“OMG!!!! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I could ask for. Loved the transparency from the beginning! My Harmonie had the BEST time and I loved the pic mail received during her stay. Definitely will rebook when in town!!!!”

“Carolyn is absolutely phenomenal! Her whole family was absolutely great with my Cane Corso who is 125pds!! Carolyn is very accommodating when I needed to extend a day! She sends updates daily and she treated my Togue as if she was her own!! I’m glad we found this family!!”
“Awesome first time experience using Rover. My puppies were well taken care of and happy during their stay. I would definitely recommend this caring family. I will be forever thankful!”

About: I am a mom to 4 high-energy medium/large breed dogs. I am no stranger to cleaning up accidents, administering medications, handling pets with reactivity, and fulfilling exercise such as playing fetch, tug, flirt pole, long walks, brain stimulation (keeping up with training/commands) or simply snuggling if your baby is low activity. I have been a self-employed residential cleaner for over 8 years and create my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to care for your pets and mine! I am so grateful for all my clients who trust me to help take care of their home and I am hoping to build trust with pet parents as I would love to transition into pet care full time as it has always been what I am most passionate about. While I do have four dogs of my own, I am able to keep your dogs separate from mine at all times if requested and or necessary when boarding. I built my dogs their own apartment behind our house fully equipped with heat, ac, a bed, and doggie door leading to a fenced in area so your dog(s) does not have to be dog friendly and we are also child free so your dog can be the only baby in our home the duration of their stay! But if you would like for your dog(s) to have a playdate and a doggie daycare style stay that can be arranged as well!
“Top Notch as usual, Wesley "Whitney" B. keeps you updated with what your pup is up to via pictures, video and brief written updates. Bryson, my dog, gets lots of play time with other dogs, attention and walks.”

“Excellent communication! We are so happy we have a safe/caring environment to take our dog to when we go away for a few days. We received plenty of pictures and updates of how he was doing during his stay. We would definitely recommend to others whom are looking for a reliable place to board their pet. Thank you Sabrina!”

“Yet again my dogs had a lovely weekend with Kristin while I was out of town. They are both currently passed out at home from all the fun they had and I had 0 worries about them being taken care of while I was handling my travel hiccups.”
