“Julie always does an amazing job taking care of our Rosie when we are away. We always get great pictures of her and it makes our trips much better. I am boarding with them later this year as well for other trips and know Rosie is in good hands”
“Bryan and his family were great! Our elderly pup seemed to have the best time. She's a particular gal in her senior years-- Bryan accommodated our special feeding requests as well as medication requirements. He sent daily pictures and updates. We'll be back soon!”
“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”

“Hope is an amazing sitter who goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is happy and well cared for. I left my anxious 15 y.o. dog with her this past week and oh my goodness! The extra care and concern and willingness to work with and accommodate Mathilda’s mental and physical needs was amazing. I could not be happier or more grateful - and either can Mathilda! I always knew how my pup was doing, how she was eating, etc, and Hope was an excellent communicator very motivated in resolving issues with anxiety, etc. Hope is a doggy magician - your dog will fall in love!”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog!

If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”

Durham pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jason & Eric were great! They took great care of our dogs, and they were so tired when they came home from all the playing! They are super responsive and communicative which is very helpful when being away from our sweet dogs. We recommend them and would book again!
Danielle was absolutely amazing! My dog Ollie loved her and looked like he was having the best time in every picture! She made sure to keep us updated and informed, we receive so many amazing pictures! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was safe and happy!
Veronique is our go to person when we have to leave Oreo. She is kind, punctual and she sends lots of pictures throughout the stay. Oreo is so happy to get to her place, and I think sad to leave Veronique when it’s time to come back. 😅. I know Oreo is happy at her home. Also, her pup Guinness is such a sweetie.
Elizabeth took wonderful care of our foster dog, Stabler! She’s intuitive with dogs and really understands their individual needs. Her setup is perfect, with a great backyard for playtime. Stabler is high-energy and thrives on a consistent schedule- Elizabeth kept him right on track. We’ll definitely be calling on her again!
Tracy was amazing!! Our boy Fish loved staying with her and Steve. She was super communicative and responsive and always sent us multiple cute photos and updates a day while we were away for the week. Oh and not to mention she was even super understanding and flexible with us when our return flight was delayed a bunch! This was our first time leaving Fish for an extended period of time and she made sure he felt right at home right away and provided us a lot of comfort that he was very happy while we were away. Fish will definitely be missing her and Steve!!
Jill took amazing care of our dog Herschel! She took to him immediately at our meet and greet and cared for him over a long weekend. He had a great time running around her beautiful yard and relaxing on her front porch. Jill made sure to send us tons of photos and updates throughout the weekend, and I know Hersch would love to stay with her again
Jenna is an exceptional, dependable, and responsible sitter who took wonderful care of our dog! She sends us pictures every day, and gives our dog plenty of walks and attention. We have had the pleasure of using her multiple times now, and she is our favorite sitter in the area. We highly recommend leaving your pup with her!
