“Very grateful for Nancy accommodating my dog and letting him stay! They have an awesome backyard that he loved and lots of toys to play with. She updated me with photos often which I love! It seemed like my dog had such a great time and felt very loved while staying!”
“Yelena is the BEST dog sitter I have ever used. She is so wonderful in every way taking care of my Pepper and sending wonderful pics and videos the whole time we were away which really made me happy. What a great person and lover of dogs!”
“Jamie kept our Chocolate Lab and she was wonderful. She took him on walks, sent pictures and was flexible with me needing to add an extra night to his stay as we were out of town. She has a nice fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around. She def made me feel at ease leaving him with her. I will definitely be using her again!”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”
“Christine and Joe were so welcoming and friendly to Pepper and she quickly warmed up to them. They were communicative and sent the best pictures of our girl. We will definitely count of them again as our pet sitters!”
“Ashley was totally awesome! This was a last-minute booking as we left WNC after Hurricane Helene, and couldn't accommodate Casper where we were staying. She was totally calm and in charge, which Casper needs since his tendency to shepherd and try to be in charge is so strong. He needs to know he's not in control. Ashley took great care of him physically and psychologically. I'll definitely seek her services again if we're in the area!”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
About: Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. This lifelong connection has inspired me to continually learn and understand the unique needs and behaviors of different species. My experience in pet care extends not only to caring for my own pets but also to assisting family and friends, as well as volunteering in animal-related activities. Through these diverse experiences, I have developed a strong commitment to ensuring that every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where your pet can feel at home, even when you are away. I am dedicated to providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to the individual needs of each animal. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own hours. I am committed to doing my best to accommodate both your and your pets needs. I own my own house and have a large backyard. I also live close to two greenways and an open field. I also have the option of walking your pet around my community. When requested to take care of your pet at your place of residence, I will follow your instructions to allow your pet to follow your, his or her daily routine whether it be walking, playing, feeding, etc.
“Arya is awesome - highly recommend! She was very active and loving with our goldendoodle. She also was very communicative with pictures and letting us know how he was doing throughout the week. Definitely would book her again!”
“Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.”
“Katie was wonderful to work with and took great care of Callie. Very safe home environment in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced yard. We will use her again when we have a need.”
“Anamika thank you so much for watching my baby Molly! You are hands down the best sitter I’ve had, you and your family wholeheartedly welcomed Molly with such ease. She truly had a fabulous stay. Thank you for sending adorable pictures and updates during Molly’s stay. I greatly appreciate you’re loving and helping hands: with potty training, play time, and meals with perfect serving size:)”
“I love this family so much! My Kingston had a ball and felt right at home. He even came back walking better on his leash. Will 100% use them again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe space for their dog while traveling. Thank you guys again for being so sweet and flexible.”

Cornelius dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dawn took wonderful care of our puppy, Emi, and made our first Rover experience a great one. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout Emi’s stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Emi was well looked after and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated Dawn’s communication and the genuine attention she gave to our puppy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Lentil had such a great week with Katie and her family. This was Lentil’s first extended stay away, so we were nervous, but Katie made us feel so comfortable. She was flexible with timing, incredibly accommodating and communicative, and sent us pictures everyday. Peace of mind about your pet when you’re traveling is so valuable, and Katie delivered that for us. We cannot recommend her enough!
Kathleen is absolutely wonderful sitter! We’ve used her services a couple of times now, and she consistently provides the best care and peace of mind. Our dog is always so happy and relaxed in her care-he thinks he has two homes! Kathleen is professional, provides great updates, and truly treats our pup like one of her own. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter!
Drew did a great job of taking care of my rambunctious Husky. I made sure to give him all tips on Penny and what to watch out for and he was very attentive. I’d definitely recommend him with watching your fur babies. My dog came back tired which never happens so I know she had a great time!
Brianna has been so great with my dog Cannoli every time she has watched him! I really appreciate the photos and updates throughout the stay. I love the fact that cannoli gets two playmates to keep him entertained while I’m away. I will 100% be contacting Brianna to watch over Cannoli the next time I need a sitter.
Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.
Logan and Jessica are such caring and kind people. They took great care of Scotti, taking her on long walks and welcoming her into their home. Scotti is shy but from the pictures shared and picking her up, it was obvious she was comfortable and having a great time. You can tell that they not only provide the necessary care for your animal, but they genuinely love to have them in their home. I’m excited to have a reliable dog sitter in the area that I will look to first for future dog care needs. Highly recommend
