“Dan was an incredible resource for a last-minute request to keep our old girl comfortable during a house party. As the guest list grew, we knew she’d be overwhelmed, so we reached out to Dan. Dan hosted her and from the pictures he sent, she made herself comfortable at his place. It was such a relief to not worry about a party guest leaving a door open; she was safe and relaxed with Dan. What also speaks to his level of care is that when Coco came back home, she had zero anxieties or stress. It was as though she was grateful for having an afternoon to herself.”

“So grateful for Giancarlo's excellent care! Our pup does not do well with boarding facilities, but Giancarlo kept him happy and health for over a week. We appreciate Giancarlo's flexibility and frequent updates. We look forward to booking with him again!”

“Adriana took great care of Chelsea!! She was attentive & provided plenty of photos while I was away. Chelsea loved playing with Adriana & her pup. I would definitely use her services again!”

“Very happy with Chelsey and David and their care for our pup, Mallory! We have used their services for daycare dropoff and a longer, multiple night trip. They are flexible with dropoff and pickup times, and are enthusiastic about having Mal around. Their dog, Athena, is a fun play pal for Mal and Chelsey and David are conscientious about monitoring playtime and giving the dogs a break when needed. They send pics and videos of Mal's time there which is a plus given being away from your doggo can be a bit stressful (for you and them)! I feel that Mal is happy and safe while in their care and that makes my dog mom heart super thankful :)”

“We love sending Luna to Rebecca and Emile’s. They’re very easy and accommodating to work with. They adore Luna and engage with her with walks, time outside, etc. Luna is right at home at their place!!”

“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”

“Julie and Greg provided amazing care for our young high energy hound during his first-ever experience with a sitter. They sent photos and updates every day. Not only did they give him plenty of exercise, play, and affection, they worked with him on some problem behaviors/doggie-manner-deficits during his stay with them. I could not recommend more highly.”

“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! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”

“David is excellent with dogs. His yard is somewhat of a doggie day camp, with loads of room for play and relaxation. He provided lots of updates and pictures of my boy clearly having a blast. A tired dog is a happy dog and mine came home wiped out. I highly recommend him and will be using him again in the future.”

“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”

About: Hey hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and would enjoy to meet new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer, rising senior at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.
“Jodie was available to watch our sweet Shiba with little notice when we decided to sneak away to the beach last minute. Jodie is an excellent communicator, sending frequent photos and updates, and it is very obvious that she makes her canine guests feel comfortable and at home. We highly highly recommend Jodie!”

“Niko had a wonderful stay with Savannah and family. Niko loved having new friends to hang out with and got all the attention and care he could want. Savannah has excellent communication, and I love every picture and update. He's looking forward to the next time already!”

“Tracy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very communicative and sent us lots of pics of our pup while we were away. Our dog, Charlie, settled in nicely at her place and seemed to have a great while he was there. We feel very fortunate that Tracy was able to keep Charlie over the Thanksgiving holiday, as our regular sitter was already booked. Now we have another option moving forward, as we would definitely book with Tracy again!”

“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!”

Durham pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy is beyond amazing! She took great care of my English Springer Spaniel, Griffin, sending me photo updates the whole trip. Griff loved being around her dog-friendly cat, Steve. Tracy took Griffin on lots of walks when it was cooler out (so thoughtful)! She made me and Griffin feel very comfortable. I never had to worry about him being in her care. Griff can't wait to come back to see Tracy and Steve!

Cathryn was absolutely amazing! This was my first time boarding my dog, and her communication and understanding settled the worries and nerves I had. She sent daily updates and pictures, and always answered whenever I reached out. She and her dog Luna took my dog in with open arms and took incredible care of him, will definitely look into booking with her again

We boarded our cat with Kim our first time ever traveling without him. Kim put our minds at ease and would frequently update us to assure us that he was doing well. She was flexible and worked with our changing travel plans. Her cats were also great and got along with ours without issue. Kim is super reliable and an amazing sitter. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!

Emily was great with our 9-month old puppy, Rosie! We were looking for someone who could handle the extra energy of a puppy and be patient as she continues to learn. This was our first time using Rover and Emily was super responsive and provided great updates while Rosie was in her care. Rosie came home happy and tired from playing with Emily's other pups. We would definitely book with Emily again - it was a relief to know Rosie was in such capable hands.

I was worried about how Lucia would handle being boarded. I have only had her for 6 months and got her from the shelter. Karissa immediately put those fears to rest. She is very kind, and I immediately got a good feeling from her. Lucia looked happy in all the photos and pictures I received. I am very grateful for how well she was taken care of.

Josie had the best time with Natalie and Honey! She was so accommodating with Josie’s special needs due to separation anxiety and I could tell Josie was right at home. Natalie sent frequent updates and pictures as well. All of her communication was super prompt. Josie can’t wait to go back!

Allison was great with my dog. She sent pictures. She already had a pup she was watching and she still made space for Noodle. She even standards arranged a meet and greet with the dogs to make sure they would be ok. I was running late at pick up and she still worked with me. If Allison is willing Noodle will be coming back.

Nashari took wonderful care of my sweet 16 year old toy poodle, Bella. Bella came back home full of energy and joy, which tells me she had a blast. Also, Bella needed relatively new medication multiple times a day, which had me nervous to leave her behind, but Nashari took care of her so well, you can tell Bella is feeling well and had everything she needed. Thank you, Nashari!!
