“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”



“We very much appreciated Emily! I was very nervous to leave our two dogs with a new person as we have one older dog who requires extra attention due to a medical condition. Emily met with us beforehand to go over our routine and then I sent her my "instructions" before we left. She followed their routine and kept us up to date on the dogs. It helped to know the dogs were well taken care of - glad to have found someone to watch our dogs when we have to be away!”


“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”


“ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Phyllis is so sweet and I’m pretty sure she spoiled me as much as my boy!! She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”


About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.


“Melanie was a tremendous choice for housesitting and petsitting! She was communicative, professional, and attentive. I never once worried that my babies weren't getting the care they deserve! HIGHLY recommend!!!!”


“Averi took excellent care of our dog Rocco and our home while we were away for a long weekend! She was very accommodating and Rocco was so relaxed when we got home! 10/10!”


“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”


“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕”


“Seline took great care of our two dogs!”


“Allyson took great care of our pupper and was always available with updates and pictures! We have already booked her for future dates and highly recommend her!”


“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”


“I can’t recommend Caitlin enough. She house-sat and cared for my dog, Dusty, while I was away, and everything was flawless from start to finish. She’s incredibly professional, sent regular photo and video updates (which gave me so much peace of mind), and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. Not only is she amazing with animals, but I’ve also worked with her before—so I already knew she was reliable, detail-oriented, and just a genuinely good human. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and your home with the utmost responsibility, Caitlin is it.”


“Megan was great with our dogs! We had to go away for a few days with short notice, and she was awesome enough to come house sit our 2 pets. They were pretty much instantly in love with her. She provided daily updates and we felt secure knowing our dogs were well cared for! Thanks Megan!”


“Booking Nancy to watch our two greyhounds was the best decision ever made!!! She was very communicative and took great care of both of our girls. Our oldest is almost 12 and has some mobility difficulties, but Nancy made us feel right at ease that she was going to be well cared for. We loved getting a few updates a day on what our girls were up to and took all the stress away from our trip out of town.”


“Miranda was awesome. She did a great job taking care of our chaotic pups. And she left our apartment is great shape. She was easy to communicate with, and totally willing to do whatever the pups needed. Definitely recommend 10/10.”


“Couldn’t have taken better care of my home or cat! Also great with communication and flexibility. I would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for pet care!”


About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.


“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”

Cullenwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kaleigh was wonderful! She took care of our little guy like we would!! We will be rebooking with her soon!!

Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!

Emily did such an amazing job! She sent updates and photos of our pups and we could tell they loved her. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend trusting Emily to take care of your fur babies!

Kathryn is great all around - top notch communication, snaps the best pics during the stay, and most importantly loves on my pup so well. She is always happy and tired when I get back!

Alex did a great job dog/house sitting while we were away for two weeks. He paid careful attention to the diet/medication instructions for our two dogs and sent regular picture updates. When we returned the house was neat and tidy and he even left a light on for us 🙂

Kyle took great care of our girls! He was attentive, detailed, and took great pics of our dogs while we were out of town.

Wow! Where do I start, Jennifer is beyond amazing from the moment my dogs met her they loved her, she was so sweet and took such good care of my babies, I came out to Richmond to spend some time with my family and I needed someone to watch my babies and I found Jennifer. I’m so grateful for her she sent me updates and pictures of them hourly to reassure me they were doing well! I felt so at ease leaving them with her. I def recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your dogs or cats. She’s very flexible and very accommodating. Thank you Jennifer for everything!

Beth was an amazing person and super sweet, caring and attentive to George. He absolutely loved her and Beth always gave us an update daily with pictures. I will definitely book again!

Charlotte was great with our two cats and left our home in pristine condition. Five stars for prompt and thorough communication. We've already booked her next stay!

Katie was a wonderful dog sitter! She was great at communicating and shared updates throughout the week, which made me feel confident that my dog was in the perfect hands. My pup was in such great spirits when I got home which was great too. I know Katie had such a big impact on making sure he was comfortable in my absence and had plenty of love. Would absolutely recommend to others needing a reliable and kind sitter!
