“Brad took exceptionally good care of the cats. He was great at keeping me informed of their well being and sending pictures. He was even able to coax the shy ones out of the shadows. He also fed my aquarium fish.Would highly recommended.”

“Was very happy with the service provided by Oleksandra. She was on time for the pet visits and took care of both pets as asked. Would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”


“Jessica was great with our kitties! We find it hard to trust people with our animals, but we absolutely trust her with our babies and will definitely book with her again in the future.”


About: While I am newer to Rover, I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and professors and have always loved animals. As a Certified Athletic Trainer, I am dependable, attentive, active, and committed to providing safe, compassionate care. With my active lifestyle as a collegiate swimmer for five years and my caring nature, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away! Prior to starting my job at Wake Forest University, I am pretty much free until July and have a very flexible schedule! Outside of working out and spending time with my boyfriend, I can easily work around your schedule and give your pet the attention, care, and activity they deserve. I understand how important consistency is for pets, therefore following feeding schedules, walking routines instructions, and any specific care requests closely is important to me! I also value communication and love providing regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and confident while you are away!
“We and our kitties are SOOO blessed each time we get to have Laura take care of them. They love her so much. They are very, very elderly and fragile, but she knows exactly how to handle them with love, gentness and skill. When we see them after she has cared for them they are always extra peppy and in beautiful condition. I can tell they love her so much that they want her to stay and they accuse me of hiding her from them. I can’t say enough that we are so thankful. This last time we booked her, I forgot something extremely important but she anticipated it simply because she thinks about what they need and cares so much about how they feel. What a wonderful person and we are just so thankful for her!”

“Mary-Ashlynne was wonderful! She consistently gave us updates with photos with each visit, which gave me a peace of mind in leaving our little guy behind! I’d highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

I am not currently looking to have a dog stay in my apartment as I am not able to have a dog at my apartment complex
“Charles was above and beyond what we expected. We have an English Bulldog, and he whined when he left. It was obvious he really does love animals and treats them with respect. He sent us updates throughout our absence, and kept in close contact. 5-star rating from us and highly recommended.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of pet and animals since I was young. I myself have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and even a couple goats. I am very comfortable around a variety of sized animals and have experience not only with my own pets but also sitting for a variety of small and large dogs as well as cats. I am currently taking part time classes for the summer and will potentially be working part time during the week. With that being said, I will be available in the evenings and at various times throughout the day depending on my schedule that week! I am very flexible and would love to work with you to ensure your pets have the best experience. I have experience working with dogs from under a year to more senior in age, as well as puppies to large breeds. I am available to stop in for potty breaks throughout the day, do meals and such in the mornings and evenings, and stay over to house sit overnight if needed. Some other experience I have is working with additional pets such as cats, reptiles, and small critters.
About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

Abby has been great to work with and took such good care of my dog! She even offered an extra visit because my dog is afraid of thunderstorms and wouldn’t go outside in the rain to go potty. She genuinely cared about him and that made me feel so much more at ease leaving him in her care. Thank you so much Abby!🙂

Eleni was amazing for us this week! We’ve never left our three dogs for this long and ended up having a few curveballs, but she graciously handled a dog in heat and a few days of unexpected diarrhea. She went above and beyond and kept us updated every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat.

Celeste is wonderful! Communicative, prompt & exactly what I was looking for. She helped with the Rover ins and outs as it's been years since I've had a dog and needed to use it. She was super accommodating to my last minute booking and sends pictures at every visit. Couldn't be happier!
