“Lidia is absolutely exceptional! I was terrified to leave my kitties, but she was amazing! My little ones are both persians and need extra care and daily eye cleaning. Lidia did such an excellent job with them!! She also helped with the house, tidied up litter boxes, took out the trash, just truly above and beyond! And when a stray kitten appeared on my patio, she took care of her too. I was told absolutely book her again in a moment! 💜”

“I can’t recommend Anne enough! She took care of my two cats for an entire month with daily drop-ins, and she was incredibly responsible, reliable, and caring throughout the whole stay. Communication was great — I consistently received updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book with Anne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: Happy to help with commands and training. Loves leisurely walks with tons of stops for your pet to enjoy the outdoors and sunshine. Thanks for considering me. Currently I am doing freelance work. I’m pretty much, available most days and times with a few hours notice. That will most likely change in the future but for now it’s set. I live in an apartment. However I live on a pet friendly property and directly across from a huge park where your pet can play frisbee or catch with me! Also plenty of space to avoid people or other animals if necessary.
“Cambree is everything you could wish for in a sitter!! She took care of my two dogs and cat while I went out of town on a trip. I was extremely nervous about leaving them. They’re a little bit needy and I’d never spent a night away from my cat( who has a history of prior abuse, and abandonment). From the meet and greet, I knew I picked the right sitter. Cambree has been phenomenal. She kept me updated with lots of pictures. She wrote detailed updates and I was truly able to enjoy my trip because I knew my pets were in safe hands. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely hire her again. She’s professional, she’s timely, and extremely thoughtful/considerate.”
“Amy was great and took great care of our two cats. She kept in touch and let us know how our cats were doing while we were away. They seemed very happy during her visits and I would highly recommend!”

“Jaidyn was fantastic while I was overseas in Poland and Switzerland for two weeks! She took amazing care of my four cats—Mandy, Lucy, Mochi, and Bodhi—doing daily drop-in visits. Every day she sent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being so far from home. Everyone looked relaxed, well-fed, and clearly loved. I came home to happy cats and a clean setup. Highly recommend Jaidyn for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter!”

“This is our second time booking Julie and she was amazing again with our puppy!! Our puppy is still in training and Julie is super flexible with coming at late hours of the night and early morning to accommodate our night shift schedules. Highly Recommend!! We will be using her again!”

“Bailey arrived promptly and was patient with my reactive dog. Bailey is able to read a dogs body language which is super helpful for my dog who needs space and to get to know someone before she gets comfortable. I look forward to working with Bailey again.”

“Kaylyn watched my two cats for week and did a great job! She sent daily updates with tons of pics and kept my mind at ease while we went on vacation! She went above and beyond to make sure the kitties got plenty of play time and cuddle time, and followed all of my instructions to a T! I highly recommend her!!”

“Davis did a great job taking care of my cats while I was out of town! He did exactly what we needed, and was an excellent, quick communicator. I look forward to working with him again!”


About: I love dogs and have several years of experience caring for them whether overnight or on walks. I can administer medicines orally and have fundamental training skills to help your pet acclimate to me and my space. I work part-time with shifts never exceeding 7 hours. Working 4-5 days a week. I work near my place of residence and am able to respond quickly to any situation if needed. Dogs: I am able to board adult, small-medium dogs. Others I will gladly walk or sit for. I provide a structured environment to help them feel comfortable and safe while keeping toys and treats handy to engage their minds and bodies and to build a positive relationship. Cats: I will board any and all cats assuming they're healthy. I have a very cat-friendly home and provide consistent meals, cuddles, and play. Foremost, I let the cat decide what it wants, whether that's space and quiet, or pets and play.
“Magnolia was exactly what I was looking for in a pet sitter! I knew right when I met her that my senior kitty was in good hands while I was gone for the weekend. I’ve never used a pet service before and I was nervous, naturally. With a sitter like Magnolia there was no reason to be worried! Smeagol was well taken care of and I will not hesitate to book with Magnolia again. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Valerie has taken excellent care of my Bengal cats. Not only are their needs met, but she takes time to play with them and sends cute pics to show they love her being there”

About: Commander of the weens and keeper of the one eyed retrievers! I modify my schedule to fit you and your pets needs! I am willing to accommodate your dogs and provide a peaceful retreat to keep them calm and in their routine so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your bestie! I offer in home and at home dog care. Please note dogs must walk on a leash if they are staying with me as I am currently in an apartment close to many parks! I am currently a grad student with a flexible schedule. I do not have pets of my own so your pet(s) will be the center of my attention! I currently live in a spacious apartment with no pets and no kids. Pets can be crated or free to roam while I am not there. I live next to a walking path that is close to many parks (less than 5 min walking). I am happy to stay at your house to minimize disruptions to your pets routine. At home visit and meet and greets are highly encouraged prior to booking!

“Shelby took great care of my cat Lola. We needed her to stop by and give her a specific kind of food, and to let her play for a little while. She followed our instructions for the whole stay, and we got back to a happy/healthy cat.”


About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I have relied on Julie multiple times to take care of my cats, and she has developed such a great relationship with them. Leaving my girls is always the biggest stress for me when I travel, but she makes it easy. You won't need to worry about your pets while Julie is caring for them!

Anne did a terrific job watching over my little loved ones, including one with an unusual bathroom habit. Getting photos sent to me daily helped me relax in seeing their faces and snapshots of normal routines. Everything Anne did was precisely on schedule with no worries!

Amy is incredible. She takes great care of my dog, and I can rest at ease knowing that I can trust her both with my dog and in my home. She is kind, patient, understanding, and shows great love to my dog. I am so grateful to have found her and cannot say enough good things about Amy.

Lindsey was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats! She was sweet, kind, and very responsible throughout the entire visit. She stayed responsive and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which really gave us peace of mind. Our cats looked happy and comfortable and it was clear they trusted her. Highly recommend Lindsey if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring!

Miranda was kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our cat became quickly stressed and temperamental when we left, and even though Mayzie was acting out, Miranda went above and beyond in her care. I am so thankful and truly blown away by her patience and kindness in such a challenging situation. She was timely, communicative, and just an all-around professional.

I’m so thankful to have found Jess! My dogs are so much happier with her coming to visit them during the day. Her communication is outstanding, and she sends the best photos during her visit! She has made this experience incredibly easy and put any worries I had to rest. Thank you, Jess!

5/5 stars! Couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Kellece was amazing with our two dogs and our ducks! She sent regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend and will def try booking for our next trip if is she is available!
