“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Jack and Gracie! Gail was absolutely wonderful and we were always getting updates and pictures of our sweet pups! We would highly recommend her to anyone and will definately be using her again for our pet sitting needs!”
“Ashley and family were great! If I could give her 10 stars I would. We planned a weekend in Rocky Mount and booked boarding for our dog at a local boarding place. We dropped her off and before we left they let us know she was too anxious and would not be able to tolerate the whole weekend there. We tried one other boarding facility and they had a similar set up so I knew she wouldn't be able to stay there either. I found Ashley on rover and messaged her about booking for the weekend last minute. Our dog is very anxious around other dogs which becomes aggression because she gets so worked up. Ashley was able to keep her for the weekend and keep her separated from their other dogs in the home. I was very relieved to know she was safe and taken care and that the other dogs in the home were safe too. When we arrive Harley went right in with them and was happy when we picked her up! They were very understanding and accommodated us so we did not have to cancel our trip last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will definitely be booking with Ashley any time we are in the area.”
“Shekenia Has taken good care of Luna. Luna seemed so happy while she was with her. Shekenia Kept me up to date with her and I didn’t have to worry. Diffidently will use her again.”
“Second time having Rose stay with Brian and just as amazing care taken of her as the first time! She has fun playing with his other fur babies and is very loved when she visits!”
“Mitzi and her family took wonderful care of my beagle Lucy. They treated her like a member of their family and kept me updated with photos and videos. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Lucy was having fun too!”
“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”
“Randi is the best!! Henry had the best time with Randi. She took excellent care of him while our family was out of town. She sent pictures and updates every day. We have already rebooked her and I give her 5 Stars plus❤️”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Milika was very nice. She took good care of my 4 month old golden doodle. She took him out for walks and sent me several pictures / videos while I was away. I definitely recommend her.”
About: I have always had a passion for animals. As an adolescent I volunteered at the local animal shelter, and as I became old enough I started caring for friends, and family friend’s pets. I provide all the love, care, and attention that your furry friend needs, and wants! All my work and time is dedicated towards pet sitting for the foreseeable future. My availability is WIDE open. I am mostly always by my phone so I am just a call or click away! I have one dog of my own, a 100 pound German Shepherd. I have a large fenced in back yard where he or any other dog can run freely. I have worked with 1 dog, to 7 dogs at a time.. whether that be letting them out directly into a yard or walking them. I am very attentive of their behavior and needs. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving medicine and just simply providing love!
“First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!”
“Matt and his family took great care of my 6 month old Bernese mountain dog, Winston. They provided pictures and updates throughout the weekend and Winston came home happy and exhausted. Thanks Matt!”
About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend. I go to church every Sunday but should be gone no more than 4 hours :) I try my best to establish and follow comfortable boundaries with pet parents and pets alike and I carefully follow instructions left to me to the best of my ability :)

Elm City dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had the BEST experience leaving our dog with you! This was our very first time having someone else watch him, so we were honestly a little nervous—but you made the entire process so easy and stress-free. From the start, your communication was amazing. We absolutely loved all the pictures and videos you sent—they really meant a lot and gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was not only well taken care of, but also happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. You truly treated him like your own, and that made all the difference for us. We could actually relax knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you again for going above and beyond! We would 100% trust you with him again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog sitter! Kobe had a ball!
