1. Megan L.

“Megan really came through when we were in a pinch last minute. She helped me figure out what services we needed to ensure comfort for my 2 dogs while we were away for one night. We settled on multiple drop-in visits in our home. She communicated well throughout our trip, letting me know of any slight scheduling changes and sent lots of pictures while visiting with my babies. The house was just as we left it when we arrived home, and the dogs were a lot less stressed than when we've boarded them at the vet in the past. We will definitely rebook with Megan in the future!”


2. Olivia G.

7. Cari C.
“Trustworthy, loving, and reliable are the 3 words best used to discribe Cari. She is great with small, medium, and large breeds. She is diligent with training efforts and actually enjoys being apart of the training process. I would highly recommend her as your next Rover pet sitter.”


8. Nicollette M.
“When I needed someone to watch my dog on short notice, Nicollette stepped up to the plate and saved the day. She treated my dog Wilma like family and took such good care of her. It was a relief to know she was in good hands while I was away. If I was still in the same town, I would absolutely use Nicollette to watch my dog again in the future.”

11. Effienne B.
About: Ive been dogsitting since i was able to drive. I’m huge on doing what you love and being with dogs and taking care of them is exactly that!! I’ve dealt with sick dogs and giving them prescription to as easy as letting them go to the bathroom and feeding them once a day. I can do whatever your needs require:) I am free always unless traveling! I work from home and have lots of time to care for your pets, i can be over as much and as little as you’d like:) They get mostly full time to roam unless not potty trained. I play with them almost in all my free time so they will get lots of love as well!


12. Leah S.

“Leah did a nice job with Sophie for a quick visit to let her out and feed her. On time and sent me a photo.”


13. Sophia E.

“This was my first time using rover.com. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was hoping for the best. That’s what I got. My kitten, Maddy is a little skittish, so I wasn’t sure how it would go. My sitter, Sophia did a fabulous job with her. She sent many photos and gave me updates so I knew everything was good. Will definitely book again.”


14. Laura H.
“She is wonderful with my pets, I myself have two cats and my mother has three dogs and she treats them all equally with love. They all love being in the room with her and they seem to connect with her almost instantly.”


15. Amber L.
About: I have had animals all my life (fish, birds, cats, dogs, a rabbit) I currently have 1 cat and 1 American bully and a few chickens as well. The American bully, cash, goes back and forth between staying with me and my mom to so he is not always home. I recently had my second child so I am trying to be more active with working out and walking but also wouldn’t mind a lazy animal, either lol. I have never professionally taken care of animals but I would love to give it a try so here I am. I have house sat for my brother and taken care of his dogs ( a Rottweiler, and two bullies) I work M-F but I work from home so I am always around and available if needed, I can step away easily if it’s needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dog does pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.


16. Lauren D.
“I can't say enough great things about Lauren and the care she provides for my three dogs. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Lauren cares for my dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. She provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for any sort of dog service.”


17. Percy L.
“I have known Percy all of his life. He absolutely loves all types of animals. He has helped to raise every type of animal we have ever had. He is extremely patience with them and will even talk to them like they are his children, with a calm and loving voice. He takes our dogs for walks, spends the whole time with them whenever he is home, and takes care of any and all other responsibilities they may have. Our dogs seem exceptionally happy whenever he is around. They wag their tag nonstop whenever Percy comes into the room. He will even get on the floor and play with them for hours at a time. Percy is always on his phone looking at the different types of animals and what all they need to stay healthy and happy. Whenever he has any money, he always spends it on the dogs.”


18. Cylee B.

“Thank you for the piece of mind. AJ doesn't do well in cages, and so him being home and in a familiar location is great. He was clearly less stressed when I came home than when I've had him boarded before. Will use again.”


19. Tanya D.
About: There has never been an animal that I didn’t treat as my own! They are the most deserving of love and admiration because of their loyalty! I work for Craven County Monday-Friday 730-530 but I am willing to help out your fur babies before or after work, even on lunch if it’s close enough to Neuse Blvd in New Bern. What better way than to spend them with furrbabies!y I will always tend to your babies as they were my own. Your rules will always apply! I follow direction well and respect the rules as they are administered.


20. Carolyn G.
About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.
