“Samantha was a great sitter. Benny was well cared for and it is such a relief to know I have a reliable repsonible sitter. Will definitely be booking Samantha in the future.”
“Ian communicated clearly and took great care of my pets. I was able to be gone for a family event and not worry about how the animals were doing, and I really appreciate that. Ian sent pictures and clarified any questions at the meet and greet and early in the stay.”
“Emily took such great care of our pack (including our senior diabetic cat and senior pup with special needs) and home while we were away. We appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos and felt totally at ease knowing everything and everyone was in great hands. 🥰”
“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”
“I can not recommend Elise enough! She watched our dogs during our wedding and even helped organize them for pictures. She was SO kind, patient, and loving with our dogs. Even with the chaos of the day, she was a ray of sunshine. She made our wedding stress-free and we can not thank her enough for that!”
“Joel is the perfect dog sitter for our 13 year old Weimaraner. He does a great job caring for her and makes her very happy. We’re very lucky to be able to go out of town and not worry about our pet.”
“E. was great. Dogs were happy and well cared for. House was tidy and vacuumed. Our instructions were followed and we got pictures every day. A five-star experience.”
“Ashley took amazing care of our two dogs. Provided us with so many photos and updates and just went above and beyond. She made us feel completely comfortable that our dogs were in great hands while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Andi was fantastic! -- excellent & easy communication in advance and thru the stay. My dog and house were well cared for. Fun photos. My dog can have a lot of energy outside and I felt like he was in great confident caring hands. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
“Joree was super sweet and communicative. Quick responses and very flexible. Left my place looking tidy and with a happy pup to come home to :) Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Cheryl took wonderful care of my pups - one of whom is 14 and has a few special care needs. She also took great care of the house and had it in wonderful condition when I returned. She stayed in contact with pictures and was easily reachable throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and I used to foster dogs and cats with my family in NC. I’ve helped family friends and relatives with their pets for years l and I’ve been professionally dog walking on and off since I moved here 5 years ago. I do have a full time job that I work around, my shifts typically max out at 7 hours so I have plenty of time to provide the best pet care I can. I do have my own pet cat who is not the biggest fan of other animals so home boarding is not an option for me. However, I do feel very comfortable taking care of pets in their own homes. I’m able to provide great exercise and play time as well as administering any medications they may need and sticking to their normal feeding schedule.
“Caitlin was fantastic! She was so kind and patient when she first stopped by to meet the critters. She was a fantastic communicator while I was out of town and took some great pictures and videos that clearly showed my dogs were thriving with all the attention she was giving them. It offered me so much peace of mind to know my pets were in such caring hands. Thank you, Caitlin!”
“Khalifa is great. She treated my pets with care. I have a senior dog so I’m always worried about him, but I felt at ease after the first day. Highly recommend.”
About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home. I provide updates, follow instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety and well being at all times. I’m currently a nursing student working part time, but I have a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. With summer break coming up, I’ll have significantly more availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate more daytime care during the summer. I’m reliable with scheduling and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of proper introductions, routines, and supervision. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.
“I can not say enough good things about Daphne. She kept our house just as we left it and did everything we asked. She sent us pics the entire time we were away, and our pups loved her. This was the first time we have left them with someone they didnt know and it went so great. We are so happy we trusted Rover and now have a dog sitter we trust. Thanks so much again Daphne. Hope you will come back :)”
“Karen was fantastic!! We were due to fly to an out of state wedding less than 24 hours after Francine rolled through. It took the city awhile to get power back and Karen happily offered to stay anyway, even without power the first night. It was a huge relief knowing our cat Pixie was in good hands and we were still able to see our friends get married. Karen communicates wonderfully, left our house spotless, and most importantly took the best care of our cat! She sent plenty of photos and Pixie was clearly very happy the whole time. Thank you again Karen, we would love to have you back to watch Pixie again in the future! :)”

Josephine not only showed up on time, she was able to come early with just 45 minutes notice when I had gotten our departure time wrong. She was great with our dog and texted me updates re how things were going. We used her all day the first day and 1/2 of the second day. Our dog seemed to like her and have fun with her. We highly recommend Josephine.
Victoria was wonderful as usual! She took care of our boys for 2 weeks and sent us wonderful photos while we were gone. We had so much fun on our trip knowing the boys were in good hands. Victoria is a great communicator and was very helpful when we were worried we might need to have her stay an extra day. She also did an amazing job balancing the energy levels of our older and younger dogs. I highly recommend Victoria!
David came highly recommended by a close friend who has trusted him for years to care for their pets while they travel frequently. From the moment I met him during a meet-and-greet at Brodie’s favorite dog park, I could tell he was genuinely kind and incredibly comfortable around dogs. He built rapport with Brodie right away. Before our trip, David also took the time to visit our home and familiarize himself with the space and surrounding area. He asked all the thoughtful, practical questions you’d expect from an experienced and responsible dog sitter, which immediately gave me confidence. While we were away for a week, it was clear David went above and beyond. Through our home security system, we could see him consistently playing with Brodie, taking him on daily walks (at least twice a day), and giving him plenty of attention and care. It was obvious they formed a great bond. When we returned, not only was Brodie happy and well cared for, but our home was in excellent condition. David kept everything clean, maintained the pool, and even watered our plants daily—details that did not go unnoticed. This experience proved to us that David is someone you can trust 100%. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care.
Janna did an excellent job looking after our home and pups. One needs a complicated med regimen and the other... is kind of naughty. She handled everything wonderfully and maintained great communication throughout our trip. Great head on her shoulders and I can't recommend her enough!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! From the moment we connected, Mike was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Scout can be a bit anxious and requires extra attention, and Mike went above and beyond to make sure Scout felt comfortable, safe, and cared for. That meant the world to us. We received thoughtful updates and could tell Scout was in such good hands the entire time. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our sweet pup was being so well cared for. Mike is reliable, attentive, and truly treats your pet like their own. We would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate—Mike is a gem!
If we could give more than five stars, Susan (Lulu) would get 11. She provided regular updates on our dog’s well being and videos of them walking. Harry was happy to see us when we came home but he’d just as soon Lulu stayed. Book with confidence. We will definitely use her again.
