“Dana took fantastic care of our two senior kitties! They had a great time with her and she was wonderful at communicating with us while we were away. We look forward to her caring for our fur babies again!”
“Charles is a gem!! He took excellent care of our kitties and we so loved the daily photos and detailed updates that he sent—it’s difficult to leave pets behind when going out of town, but Charles took away so much worry. I’d give 10 stars if I could, but 5 is the max—highly recommend!!”
“Sara was amazing! She did an incredible job taking care of our cat. She sent lots of photos and gave us thorough updates after each visit. She also administered medication with no issues and spent plenty of quality time giving her love and attention. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lila was amazing! It was my first time leaving my cat and receiving Lila's thought-out reports made up my day knowing that my cat was receiving the best care. Lila went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and loved, showing patience and great care to detail as he got used to her visits, and keeping great communication with me. Also, Lila helped with some non-pet related housekeeping that I really appreciated. Lila did an exceptional job and I am happy my cat was in Lila's care! Thank you!”
“Betsy was fantastic with our cat and four chickens! We left for a few days during a heat wave and I was very anxious leaving the chickens while temps were in the high 90s. Betsy sent lots of updates and even did an additional check in when I got nervous that one of the hens might be sitting on eggs and not drinking. She was also great with our cat who takes oral medication. Everyone was happy and healthy when we got home! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Autumn was amazing. It was clear that she is great with animals, and my cat immediately warmed up to her. She sent pictures and kept me updated all weekend. She also was very easy to communicate with. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“Abby took fantastic care of our cat, Lucy. She always sent us a brief description of her visit and a photo. We loved it. We will definitely be using her sitting services again. Thank you so very much for taking great care of Lucy.”
“Andrew is wonderful! He is so communicative and attentive. We were never worried about our cat once while we were away! He also took amazing pictures to keep us in the loop. Definitely use Andrew for all your sitting needs!”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility in Texas throughout high school, where I gained experience caring for pets and administering medications when needed. Alongside that, I started my own pet sitting business, which I continued through college. Now that I’ve relocated to North Carolina, I thought I’d give Rover a try! During the summer, I have open availability, and during the school year, I’m available outside of my class times. I also work remotely, so I can work from anywhere, making it easy to fit pet care into my daily schedule. I only offer pet care in my client’s home to help keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their usual routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“Athens was absolutely fantastic, showed my girls a ton of love and took great care of them… as well as snagged a super cute pic that my husband and I want to frame now! Can’t go wrong with her, will definitely be booking again 💕”
“Once again Caroline comes through with great communication and fabulous care for my kitties. Always a pleasure as Caroline responds to texts within the hour and honors any special requests with no problem. She should start her own pet sitting business!! Very organized...thanks Caroline..Ginger and Maryann enjoyed your company!!”
“Cassie responded quickly to my request for a pet sitter, took great care of my dog, and shared photos with each visit. I will reach out to her for future bookings, and I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!
About: I have a huge place for animals in my heart. I have been a cat mom for 13 years and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family since high school. I even had the privilege recently of driving my best friend’s Frenchies across the country as she was relocated in the military! I have had many dogs growing up that range in size from a lab, a Rottweiler and even an English mastiff. I love dogs of all breeds and think being around animals is so good for mental health. I am so excited for the opportunity to spend time with yours in between my classes. As a full time graduate student, I will be spending a significant amount of my time on the UNC campus. I am hoping to find homes in the area with animals that need to be let outside or walked while their parents are working. I am very respectful of other people’s privacy and property. At your home, I will be there to do a job and I take that seriously. I will give your pets love and attention, as well as do what I can to protect their safety.
“Connor provided exceptional care for our doggies. He’s not only caring but also punctual and highly professional. I’m grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend him to anyone seeking reliable pet care.”
