“Abineau is incredible! She took such good care of our boys and communicates extremely well. I feel like she went above and beyond for them even if it was just for a few hours. She also sent me updates throughout the day and pictures. I would highly recommend!!”
“Charles is a fantastic pet sitter! He has watched my cat many times over the last year and always goes above and beyond. He has great communication and leaves detailed updates about my kitty with lots of cute photos too! My cat absolutely adores him! Thank you so much, Charles!”
“Kalli was amazing taking care of our two kitties!! They loved seeing her each day and she made sure they were well fed and cared for!! Will definitely book her again!!”
“Amanda was super taking care of our two cats while we were away! We received lots of photos and updates every visit. Visits were reliable and on schedule! We felt very relaxed knowing Amanda was checking on our kitties and on the house while we were away.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for about 7 years, but I’ve had the opportunity to take care of my friends’ pets throughout the years. I’ve taken care of young and old pups as well as small to large. My availability is very flexible as I work part-time. My part-time work is flexible as well since it’s work I can do outside of set hours. I have a pug named Dorado who can be a companion to your dog while you’re away. I’m open to doing home visits as well as having your dog stay.
About: Between us, we have raised 4 dogs, trained 3 of them from when they were puppies, and cared for over a dozen. We also have raised an orange cat who is as well-trained as a cat can be. We are a pair of teachers on summer break, so we have some flexibility during the day for dog walking or drop-in visits. We can do weekdays and weekends. We have experience meeting all kinds of pet needs! Anxious dogs, finicky eaters, crate training, leash training, high energy dogs, flighty cats, etc. etc. We can walk, play with, feed, provide water, brush, and whatever else your pet needs.
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.
“Aspen did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation! She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and taking out the trash. We came home to a happy cat and a spotless house, which made settling back in so much easier. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’re so grateful for her help. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline did a great job of winning over my skittish cat! She was reliable and her feedback made me feel reassured that all was going well. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Autumn did a fantastic job with our difficult cats! She handled their quirks and unexpected behaviors expertly and was very communicative about everything that came up throughout the week. I want to especially highlight two things: she did a great job administering medicine to our grumpy senior cat and she spent some time playing with the cats every single visit! Overall, Autumn was an excellent sitter and we would absolutely work with her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Kyla! I grew up with labradors and German shepherds, but now I am a grad student at UNC and don’t have a dog of my own, sadly. Throughout my life I’ve been the go-to dog watcher/walker for my friends, family, coworkers and classmates. I love, love, love dogs of any age, size, breed, or energy level & have experience with them all. If you’re looking to have someone watch or walk your dog, I am looking to get my dog fix in: let’s work together! My typical schedule is class 8-5 M-F with a 12-1:30 lunch break. I’m totally free most weekends and would love to take Care of your pets anytime outside my class schedule! Visiting your home, I’m willing to walk your dog, or run with them (if they’re high energy like that), or play with them in the yard, or just provide couch cuddles & companionship for those pups that don’t like being alone. You tell me your pet’s feed/watering schedule and I can follow that & help clean up after any messy meals or typical pet-messes!
“Carolyn did a great job with our six kitties including our girl who needs regular medicine. She even managed to get the little scaredy cat to come out and say hi which rarely happens. Everything was well maintained and well kept with litter boxes, bowls and foods. Carolyn kept all our fur babies entertained and loved in our absence and kept our home safe and secure.”
“Diana was wonderful with our pets! She was very communicative regarding visits, shared great photos, and even got our shy cat to let her give him pets! I would definitely book with her again!”
“Nora did an amazing job with taking care of our two cats while we were away. She was incredibly responsive, diligent, and clearly cared about the wellbeing of our animals. When our automatic litter box was having issues, she took the time to clean the sensors and make sure it was working again. We would not hesitate to book her again or to recommend her services to others looking for top quality care for their pets.”
“David was phenomenal! So sweet, very detail oriented, and communicative. We would highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, and am a lover of animals. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have been providing pet care and sitting services to family friends and neighbors since age 12. This includes walking, checkins, and in-home pet sitting. I have experience caring for elderly, and terminally ill dogs and cats. I also have much experience with caring for pet rats. Hello, I am on break in the summer before finishing up my degree, I have a very open schedule! I am also reasonably flexible with scheduling. For cats, I check their litter box everyday to see if it needs to be scooped or changed. I love dedicating time during pet-sitting to play with pets as they are able. Also, taking dogs to go outside and get some fresh air, or go on walks if they are able. As someone who takes medication myself, I am very tactful about staying on top of animal's medications too. I try to cultivate a safe environment where your pet can feel cared for, and at ease in your absence.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!
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!

Ahslie M.
“Ash has always done an amazing job caring for our pets. She could administer medications for our senior German shepherd and deal with our temperamental cats as well. Plus she always sends pictures of our pets while we are away which we love while we are missing our animals so much. Consider her for all of your pet sitting needs, you won’t regret it!”
Robert & Daniel W.
“Robbie cared for my dog several times over the course of 2 years. He's fantastic with dogs and making sure they are well taken care of. He always made sure to follow the routine I had and if there were any special instructions I left, they were always done. He's a sweet person, kind, but not afraid to discipline a dog. My dog was always sad to leave Robbie and always excited every time she got to see him next. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog walker or even a dog sitter!”
Abbie W.
“Abbie took care of my dog Myrtle and cat Maggie for a couple of weeks while I was with my family and did a great job!

Elizabeth H.
“Elizabeth is the best! I have known her for about one year, and she has taken care of my beloved hound dog on two different occasions. Both times, she went above and beyond. When I came home from vacay having been gone for about a week, my often anxious dog was calm and relaxed because her attentiveness had made a difference. She also alerted me to, and problem-solved, a complicated challenge at my home when my AC broke down (as I said, above and beyond!). Elizabeth is 100% dependable, trustworthy and caring. I giver her my all star highest recommendation!”
Catherine A.
“Catherine is an incredibly caring and responsible pet caregiver. She treats every pet with love and attention as if they were her own. Her reliability and dedication make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

Cassie did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby! Very communicative and attentive to our pups needs! Will definitely book again!
Kristen is absolutely a blessing with our last minute trips and has been so accommodating to taking care of our boys. If you need a good sitter, look no further than Kristen!
Bailey is amazing. Stayed in touch the entire week and Socks loved spending time with her playing in the garden. Loved the photos! Definitely going to be our go to dog sitter
Sara performed drop in visits as a last minute request. She arrived on time and the dogs seemed very happy with her! We appreciate her taking great care of our pups.
Anna is incredibly reliable & flexible! We also had some apartment issues while we were away and she kept us informed and helped problem solve while we got things sorted. I know my dogs are in great care with her!
Beyond wonderful! She took care of my little girl while I was at work and sent me pics where my dog was literally smiling 🙂 Jessica is wonderful
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.
Betsy has the perfect temperament for taking care of our very shy and timid lab. We appreciated the pictures, updates and communication. Betsy’s work schedule worked well with the number of requested visits. Thank you, Betsy!
Izzie was really wonderful! She reached out frequently to send pictures and let me know how things were going and my dog was extremely happy the entire time. I’d absolutely reach out to her again for pet sitting.
Autumn took great care of our dog. She took lots of pictures, included detailed notes on how the visits went, and was incredibly easy going! We will definitely book her for future visits and recommend her to other pet owners!
Anna took such good care of my pup while I was out of town and sent plenty of pictures to let me know how she was doing!
Mason was AWESOME! We had a stressful situation pop up where our newly adopted pup needed last minute care on a holiday weekend. Mason responded quickly and was totally willing to help. We got her the care details for our pup and she took it from there! She did an amazing job caring our pup, provided some very cute pictures, and spent quality time with him. She was patient with him and took time to help him get acclimated with his kennel. In short, Mason is caring, trustworthy, and AWESOME. Will definitely reach out to her in the future. We highly recommend Mason!!!
Lauryn is amazing!! We are so thankful for her and always feel safe leaving our pups with her. She’s responsible and goes over and above for the animals. We highly recommend her!
We couldn't be happier with our first Rover experience. Malei made sure to keep us updated and adapted to our reactive girly making sure she still got her walks-in and keeping her socialized.
Mary was very responsive and reliable. She sent updates with photos for each drop-in visit and took great care of our dog. I'd recommend her as a pet sitter!
As always, Claire was a huge help. We had a last minute trip come up and needed someone to check in on our two dogs while we were gone. Claire was great with both of them, gave them walks and care a couple times per day, and was open and communicative the whole time. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a petsitter.
Another great experience with Misha. She is great with our pets and takes great care of things around the house
Pressley was wonderful! She was kind, attentive, and communicate well! Noodle loved her! She got me out of a pinch when i needed some last minute booking for traveling. will definitely book again in the future!
Sophia did an amazing job. We will definitely use her again in the future for all our dog sitting needs. Thank you again so much Sophia
Our two danes absolutely love Yuma! He watched them while we were away for the weekend and then a last minute drop in visit on New Years Day. We don't easily trust people with our boys but they immediately took to Yuma, and he has been great with them each time. Great communication, very flexible, and he clearly cares about his clients! 100% would recommend
