“Annie gave my two Poms the sweetest home away from home. They both have very *unique* personalities, and we could see immediately from her pictures that they had no problem being themselves and I couldn’t be happier that we found such a good match - we’d love it if she would watch them the next time we go away. Thank you Annie and family, and of course Pearl too, for being so welcoming and taking such good care of our Pom Squad.”

“Nathan and Courtney are good people who opened their home to our beloved dog, and also to us when we paid them a visit. Excellent almost daily communication with pictures were provided. Penny was taken on daily walks, and also entertained by their gentle kitties, dog and other barnyard pets! She was calm and happy when we picked her up.”

“Melanie was very nice and she did a great job with our dog Star who was very much at home with her!! She messaged us every day and sent us some great pictures of Star!!! It is a great feeling when you are away to know that your dog is well cared for. We would definitely bring Star back to Melanie if we need a dog sitter.”

“Mia was great! She kept me informed and sent me pictures of my sweet boy Robi throughout the day. If you are looking for someone to take care of your dog(s) I definitely recommend her.”

About: I have been working with animals for over 30 years. I was a Vet Tech, kennel manager, and currently a pet groomer. I have worked with puppies as well as exotic animals and birds. I am very responsible and I really pay attention to detail, or any problems I see. I can do nail trims on all animals. Dogs, cats, birds, exotics and more. I am currently working but very flexible with my schedule. I am my own boss so no need for permission lol Available any day of the week. Including nights, weekends, and holidays. I currently have 3 dogs in my home. A Huge back yard in a very private neighborhood. It’s very safe and no traffic with great streets to walk.

“Amber was an amazing sitter for my Sam. Right off the bat I could tell she loves animals, and her dog Hank was the sweetest boy. I received so many pictures of them playing, snuggling and enjoying life. I love that my dog was allowed everywhere hers was (furniture, etc.) She took them to the dog park and on walks frequently. Her condo is in a safe neighborhood and is secure. Amber is very personable and I am thankful I found such a great person to watch Sam while I am away. I will definitely be using her often! Highly recommend her services. Thanks Amber and Hank!”
“Ashlynn & co. are simply brilliant. They are: - proactive - well organized & super tidy - courteous & professional - willing to work with a client, within reason, and - parent(s) of their own fine brood of furbabies.🐶🐾🥰 I highly recommend Ashlynn’s services.👍🏾👍🏾”


About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my proactive, personalized approach to care, combined with a genuine passion for every animal's well-being. While many sitters offer basic feeding and walks, I focus on creating a stress-free and enriching environment that caters to each pet's individual needs. I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. It began with our dogs and has expanded to cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, etc. as my family purchased a farm. Hi. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. The times I am available are OPEN. Let me know what works for you. My experience with puppies allows me to seamlessly continue any ongoing house-training or basic obedience work, ensuring consistency during their critical developmental stage. I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, helping to reinforce good behaviors and prevent common puppy pitfalls like nipping or jumping. This means your new furry family member won't miss a beat in their learning while you're away. Furthermore, my dedication to senior pet care is a significant differentiator. I understand the unique requirements of older animals, from administering medications (excluding injections) to providing gentle exercise and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. I'm patient and attentive, ensuring their comfort and maintaining their routine with the utmost sensitivity. I'm also comfortable with mobility assistance and can adapt to any specific health needs your senior pet may have. Beyond these specialized skills, I offer: Proactive Communication: You'll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you always feel connected to your pet and have complete peace of mind. I'm quick to communicate any concerns or observations. A Deep Understanding of Animal Behavior: My background has given me insight into reading pet body language, understanding their cues, and responding appropriately, which helps prevent issues and builds a stronger bond. Exceptional Reliability and Trustworthiness: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring everything is secure and well-maintained. In essence, I don't just watch pets; I become a temporary, loving extension of your family, dedicated to their happiness, health, and continued well-being.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ellerbe home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ellerbe.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ellerbe sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
