“Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I communicate clearly with owners so they always feel connected and reassured. My goal is to make pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Senior pups feel right at home with multiple beds and cozy spots to nap :) My husband and I both work from home we are present throughout the day so your pups have access to affection, potty breaks and a fully fenced yard to explore. We have a fully fenced large yard and covered patio with two of our own dogs are home. One senior Beagle and Three year old Aussie Healer that is always up to play.
“In my first time connecting with Damon, he made me feel like we have been working together for a while now. He provided great feedback, photos and made me feel very comfortable on switching sitters. I would recommend Damon to anyone.”
“Peter and his family clearly love dogs! They were super responsive and sent photos throughout the day. Charlie loved playing with their dogs and we will absolutely be booking again! Highly recommend!”
“Mersal was a great communicator (clear, friendly, quick responses) and our high-energy husky shepherd mix had a blast with her for the day. Our goal was for our pup to get to play and have fun all day and Mersal and her dogs delivered! We loved receiving multiple photos and videos of all the fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Nellie visits Dottie’s house at least once a month for the fun of it. She’s excited to get there so she can play, play, play. Our 2 year old terrier is happy and tired whenever she’s picked up; Dottie throws the best parties! I know she is loved and cared for and provided for by her dog smile. We’re grateful for your help, and for sharing your loving home with us.”
“Carol truly went above and beyond! I have a senior dog with separation anxiety and she truly did everything she could to be friends with him! We also had a car emergency and picked him up later than scheduled, but she was incredibly accommodating and understanding. Carol is kind and a true gem! 1000/10!”
About: I love dogs, and they love me. It’s like I speak their language. I’ve always been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My little high energy Benito loves having other friends around. The more the merrier. I’m home all day, so these little dogs feel happy and comfortable at our place. I also go on regular walks with them. Dogs love walks. We offer a variety of different services and take care of all sizes. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I have lots of time to take multiple walks a day. Kids are mostly in school, so during the week I have a very flexible schedule. I live in a culdesac with the back yard completely fenced off to street. Large 3400 sq ft home. Lots of space for dogs to run around freely. 3 dog parks close by. On dry days a must!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up along with a few non traditional animals. My current pup is my world and I treat her like my child as she is one of my main priorities. I’ve always said “if you respect them they respect you”, and that is my philosophy which has never let me down. I look forward to meeting all of your furry extended family members! I currently work from home 5 days a week and am available for walks during am/pm with endless potty breaks in between. I have a dog park next to my apartment as well as a back yard which allows for your pet to get fresh air and stretch I have one small pup who loves to play and super friendly with other small/medium dogs. I like to give them space to play, let out energy and I do provide snacks if approved by owner of course. Pets will be able to roam freely unless I leave the house. I prefer if pets are crate trained and are accustom to it. Pet is allowed to relax on furniture and I allow plenty of cuddles and or space if they prefer it. Play time is also a must!

“I needed day care services for the last 3 weeks. Susan & Ian were amazing! I requested dog pickup and drop off. I work 12 hrs a day and when I got home I came home to a tired and happy dog. It was like Christmas. I got pictures and video updates thought the day and report card at end of day. Kuka, my dog, loves their Rudy. They became buddies. I cant recommend them high enough!! Kuka went to doggie day care in the past and it always stressed her out. We tired 4 different places. She is super duper happy with Susan and family.”
“Anastasiya and her family have been caring for our energetic 10-month old aussiedoodle Tony each week for a couple of months now & I am so grateful that we found her! We are always greeted warmly, and he expresses excitement and interest for his visits. They have a wonderful home and outdoor space for him to explore and I am confident that he is being well taken care of and having lots of fun. Our brief check-ins tell me that they genuinely seem to enjoy his company, which makes me happy too! Anyone who is able to utilize her services will be fortunate and in very good hands:)”
“Wow, Jami was wonderful and you can really tell that she is an animal lover! She went above and beyond to make sure Duckie was taken care of at daycare. She even took him to the dog park so that he could run and play with the other dogs. He was sleepy and happy when I picked him up. I got adorable photos and video updates throughout the day as well. 10/10 recommend!”
“We are so lucky to have found Abdallah to take care of our husky, Kira. You can tell he genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the dogs he watches and Kira is always so incredibly happy when we drop her off. I would absolutely recommend him!”
“Susie and her wonderful family are absolutely a dream come true! I'm so happy I found them. I've used daycare facilities for my little pug, Olive, in the past and she used to come home semi-traumatized by the experience. Definitely not the case with Susie. The second we pulled into her driveway, Olive had her tail wagging and couldn't wait to spend the day with Susie and family! Susie was sooo sweet and I know her daughter loved little Olive too...I can't speak highly enough of them. Seriously, if you're debating who to go with for your doggy...go with Susie. She is kind, extremely flexible, experienced and has such a warm and inviting home. Thank you so much for taking care of my little fur baby...10/10 would recommend and will 100% be taking Olive to Susie for all future daycare!?❤”
“Marley could not wait to stay with Kirsten's family and.always looks forward to going back! I was thrilled knowing Marley wasn't just safe but loved. Kirsten and her family are just the best.”

Durham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Damon is a wonderful sitter and handled my two dogs with such great care! They had a great time and came thoroughly exhausted and happy. We got videos and photos throughout the day which was awesome. Your dog will be super cared for and in great hands with Damon! I highly recommend him.
It’s clear that Christopher and his family genuinely love dogs! He is easygoing, an excellent communicator, and incredibly accommodating. Mason felt comfortable right away and absolutely loves going to doggy daycare at Christopher’s. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands.
Today was my dog's first actual visit, after a brief evaluation visit, which I believe he remembered based on his *very* excited behavior when we pulled in. When I picked him up, he was super happy, ready to rest in the car, and had obviously had a great day. Jennifer sent photos of his walk and an update. I feel totally confident bringing him back, that he'll be safe and well taken care of.
Jami is an incredible sitter! She watched my anxious Golden Retriever for daycare a few times and it was clear she truly understands dog behavior. She was so patient and kind with my nervous dog and even communicated a clear plan for how she would help her settle in. Jami is calm and happy herself, which made it so easy to talk with her about any concerns. She responded quickly to text questions, followed feeding instructions perfectly, and respected my leashing preferences when they went on a hike. Jami sent regular updates. Jamie has a beautiful, large, fenced yard with a large deck full of pet beds and even a same-level floor dedicated just for the dogs. It's kind of like a fancy resort for pups! I knew my dog was going to have a wonderful time and I picked up a calm, happy, and tired pup. I can’t recommend her enough!
Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Carol truly went above and beyond! I have a senior dog with separation anxiety and she truly did everything she could to be friends with him! We also had a car emergency and picked him up later than scheduled, but she was incredibly accommodating and understanding. Carol is kind and a true gem! 1000/10!
Enya helped us so much with in home care for our older dog who just had an amputation. She was very communicative, helped administer meds, and spent a lot of quality time with our pup! Enya is kind and cares deeply, we would love for her to watch our dogs again in the future.
Anastasiya is amazing! We had a last minute booking and she was so accommodating!! We loved the updates that she sent for our little buddy. Booking with Anastasiya was our first experience with a Rover sitter and she made the whole experience a breeze! Will definitely book with her again.
Abdallah was so kind and helpful. We needed a dog sitter last minute and he swooped in and saved the day! He was very communicative and intellectually engaged. He’s also just an awesome person in general. I’m glad our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ab!
Kayley and her family were very welcoming and nice. Unfortunately the trial stay ended short as our dog seemed to be a bit nervous around their toddler as she has had limited interaction with younger kids. I also think they might have their hands too full with a crying toddler and 5 other dogs boarding at the same time. It was a bit also difficult coordinating drop off and pickup times due to the toddler napping. But still appreciate the family’s flexibility and willingness to giving a try.
