Lily was wonderful—accurate, attentive to my cat, and reliable with updates. For the first time, I felt completely calm and could truly enjoy my trip knowing my cat was being visited and well-fed. I highly recommend Lily’s care; she’s great with animals and someone you can totally trust.

We could not ask for a better sitter for our elderly lady and our young husky. Katelyn has saved us more than once by being available and loving to Chaos, Mayhem and Havoc! Thank you again Katelyn. The dogs will soon you soon.

Helen was a God send. She was so loving, caring and interactive with our dog. She went above and beyond to make sure not only was our dog taken care of but also our house. This was my first time leaving my dog with a person other than a family member or friend of the family since moving from NY to NC. I will definitely use Helen again I highly recommend her. Helen made me feel comfortable from start to finish and that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Helen.

About: Hi! I'm Bridget. I'm new to Rover and recently moved to Davidson, but I've spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. As a dog mom to two pups with very different personalities and needs, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and cuddles, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I prioritize communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 Since I recently moved to Davidson and work part time from home much, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule and their needs. 🐾 I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, schedule, and any special instructions. In a client's home, I'll follow your care instructions closely, ensure your pet has plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. Safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, monitor pets closely, and make sure they have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and any medications or special care they require. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong dog owner, animal rescue volunteer, puppy foster, and experienced pet sitter, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs, including newborn puppies, senior dogs, and pets requiring medication. My love for animals started early. My mother was a veterinary technician, and I grew up helping care for animals and learning the importance of compassionate, attentive care. Today, I continue that commitment with my own dog, who has special medical needs, giving me firsthand experience with detailed care routines and medication administration. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. When you’re away, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, providing reliable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer weekday drop-in visits, typically between 9am and 3pm, for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and medication administration. Whether you’re at work, traveling, or simply need an extra helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions, pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, and provide updates and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

We are thrilled with Rosa’s care for our dogs. She took on the big task of taking our energetic dogs outside to go potty then spent some time with them inside. We felt a sigh of relief after she sent her report with photos giving our pups an A+ for good behavior. We plan to book Rosa again.

Thank you Maura for taking great care of our new puppy. Puppies are a lot of work and leaving them with someone new requires a lot of trust. After an initial meet and greet we were confident Maura would take good care of our puppy Winnie and we were not disappointed. Would recommend and will definitely try to use Maura when she is available.

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.

Lisa was incredible with our dog who can be reactive and anxious. We did a meet & greet and all went well. We have just returned from a 4 day trip and we are sure our dog is happier and more content than when we left. It appears that Lisa gave her lots of love, walks and even played pet calming music on our TV. I would highly recommend her to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that can be tempermental. Lisa is nututring and reliable. We will definietly be return customers.

A great experience! My dog has limited vision and required several different medications including insulin injections with meals so I was a little nervous about using a dog sitter. Joe and Christine took care of all of it beautifully with daily visits to my home as well as some play and walk time. What peace of mind I now have knowing I can leave my precious dog’s care to them! I will definitely use them again!

Marcia is simply the best—there’s a reason we keep coming back to her again and again. Finding someone you trust with your pets (and your home) is no small thing, and with Marcia, that trust comes easily. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction.

Skyler was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was phenomenal from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She took such incredible care of Cash and Presley—keeping them active, happy, and clearly so well loved. Her photos were awesome - I really enjoyed seeing our boys have so much fun. We’re so thankful to have found another trusted sitter for our boys and will absolutely be booking with Skyler again. Highly, highly recommend!
