“Dana is absolutely phenomenal! She's very attentive to pets and spent a lot of time playing and snuggling them. They were very well cared for and enjoyed her visits. Great communication throughout my time away, too. I 100% would rebook!”
“Sharon has brought so much peace of mind when we travel. I am so grateful to have her care for our animals. In addition to our cat, Sharon takes care of our ducks - I highly recommend her if you also have livestock pets.”
“Jordan did a great job! We were unable to have her over to meet the cats and show her around but she had no problem anyway! We will certainly have her back next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Andrew is absolutely fantastic! He always takes amazing care of my cat, Hurley. I can travel with peace of mind knowing Hurley is in such good hands. Andrew is reliable, attentive, and truly cares about the well-being of my pet. Highly recommend!”
“Autumn is becoming my kitty’s other Mom. He loves being with her and all her pets. She puts up with his annoying kitten behaviors and always keeps me updated. I don’t know what I’d do without her!”
“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!”
“Mackenzie did a great job taking care of my kitty boys. It was very comforting knowing that someone caring and capable was checking in on them while I was away.”
“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.”
“This was my first experience with Rover, and Gretchen did not disappoint. She was prompt, reliable, caring, and friendly. She was great with my rather shy cat on her drop in visits, and left wonderful notes. I enjoyed the pictures, too. Thank you so much, Gretchen!”
“Kristen took such attentive care of my older cat, including giving her all her pills and regularly reassuring me that everything was going just fine so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I have already booked Kristen again for my next trip out of town in a couple months. Excellent pet sitter!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I love all types of animals and I am reliable, timely and organized. I am currently missing my family pets and am looking for some pet time while I am in grad school at UNC :) I am in school, so my weekdays are super flexible to be with your pets! My classes typically end by noon. I am also available on the weekend. I am comfortable with using a crate if needed in your home. I will make sure that your pet is safe when walking them and taking them outside of your home!
“My roommate and I needed pretty last minute care for our two cats and we couldn’t be more happy with Jayde! She was very responsive, attentive and consistent which made us feel like they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her!!”
About: I know I'm new to Rover but I am no stranger to pet-sitting. I grew up in a house with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I currently have two dogs (Lincoln and Hootie) who are my bestest friends. While I love my dogs, I grew up with cats and miss having one around. I'm hoping to treat your cat like my own (with your rules in mind of course). I'm a student, so I'm happy to sit around and keep your kitty company while I work, or just pop in and out as needed. I'm currently a student with a very flexible schedule. If your cat loves company, I'm happy to hang out and get school work done while fitting in some play and snuggle time. I am happy to adapt to your needs and schedule. I've had experience with crating, changing cat litter, changing pee pads, changing pet diapers, etc. Having two dogs, growing up with cats, and pet-sitting cats, I know every pet is different and has different preferences or needs. I also know that every parent has specific requests that make sense to them, and I'm happy to follow your lead! I also really enjoy daily report cards and updates to keep you informed so that you don't have to worry about your pet while you are away!
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.

Caroline K.
“Caroline is an excellent pet caregiver. As a family, we've had two dogs and a cat, all of which she had a loving relationship with and significant involvement in their daily needs. She has an outstanding attention to detail, is very organized, and responsible beyond her years. Caroline has worked in social work, family, and child healthcare in her early career and is currently working toward her masters degree in public health at the Gillings School. The passion she has for human rights and affordable care extends seemlessly to that of animal protection and wellbeing. She loves the outdoors — especially in North Carolina — and is very active, especially when there's a furry friend to join her. Anyone would be so lucky to have her hang out with their pet(s).”

Caroline W.

Kacey C.
“We loved seeing how much our cat enjoyed spending time with Kacey. Ginger can often be a bit skittish, but she seemed so happy and willing to spend time with Kacey. Getting to see those pictures of Ginger so content and well taken care of made such a big difference for us in enjoying our trip!”
Robert & Daniel W.
“Robbie, has taken care of our dogs and has provided excellent and attentive care. He mentioned he grew up with a dog and is a natural caregiver. Robbie is a very responsible person and would be a great pet sitter for anyone in need of pet support. He is definitely an animal lover and that shows in his interactions with your pet. We would hire or recommend him to a friend or back for us at any point.”
Dogwood Acres cat parents share their Rover experiences
Merrily provided excellent care for my dog and cat. She quickly established a great relationship with them as well. She also ensured that my cat received her medication twice a day. My dog can be anxious and she did an awesome job making him feel comfortable and safe. They had such good care while we were away! Thanks Merrily!
