“Jessica did a great job taking care of Cher Bear and Ben! We could tell they were happy when we came home. All of our plants looked great and Jessica is very thorough and tidy. Thank you! We look forward to using Jessica again!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were out of the country for a week and were nervous leaving our puppy for the first time. Melissa took amazing care of her and sent photo updates all the time, which really put us at ease. Our dog loved playing with her dogs and it was nice that she had a separate area for just her in case she got overwhelmed and needed to relax. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Shawnee did an excellent job house sitting & watching our girl Missy during our vacation. This was our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure of what to expect. But, we were absolutely thrilled knowing that Missy was well taken care of & loved while we were away. She went above & beyond to help care for Missy, and she also took excellent care of the house too! 100% would recommend!”
“Ashton did a wonderful job with our pups - our home was immaculately clean still when we returned. She was thoughtful with the dogs and just a great sitter. 10/10 would book again.”
“Brad did well with both of our dogs from the start. Our bigger dog can be a bit anxious when strangers come into the house and Brad let her sniff him and get used to him before he tried to interact with her. He sent us several pictures throughout the week and when we returned the house was just as we had left it—-or better! We will definitely try to book Brad again when the need arises.”
“I could not be happier with Briana’s care of my dog Willow. I was gone for a week over July 4th and Briana got my dog to settle by using calming music and white noise. I was sent multiple pictures every day. She also took care of my plants and made sure my house was neat when I came back. I will absolutely be asking her back to care for my baby again!”
“Isabella did a great job watching my dogs and dealing with one of my dogs having to take medication on a regular basis after an illness diagnosis just prior to the start of the booking. She does an amazing job with my dogs and kept me updated on my dog's condition”
“Lauren is an amazing woman and phenomenal sitter! Despite Lauren having a family emergency while I was away she took amazing care of my dogs. She is now part of our FURever family 🐾 Highly recommended for all your pet sitting needs! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Daniel was awesome! He sat my two dogs for a weekend and was extremely communicative. My dogs were well taken care of and seemed really happy to spend time with him. We will definitely book with Daniel for our next trip!”
About: I have been taking care of a wide range of pets for the past five years. Whether for friends, family or new clients I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Rover is currently a full-time job while I’m part-time security guard for DSI Security. I was already doing pet services before/during the pandemic, so I like making connections through this application for more clients. I will be able to provide services accordingly with my schedule around the clock and care for your pet(s) whether it’s overnight sitting, walking or daily drop-ins! I can balance between DSI Security and my days off. The most important thing is making sure pets remain comfortable when you need to get away for a few days. A meet and greet prior to a service ensures this as I am able to become familiar with your pet(s) and how your day to day routine is for them.
About: I am an animal lover with decades of experience whose family often refers to as the 'Animal Whisperer!' I've owned and taken care of pets (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, rabbits) for as long as I can remember. I have experience with raising and potty training puppies. I take pride in ensuring my pets' space is clean so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm retired and would love to spend my free time caring for your animals! I am currently retired so my main priority is to give your pets the best care! I am very flexible and will work with you to determine the best schedule for both of us. I take pride in ensuring my pets' space is clean so they feel safe and comfortable. I have no problem playing with them outdoors, walking them or just being there to comfort them. I love to cuddle and sweet talk them so they can continue to feel your love while you're gone!
“Victoria is great with our 4 furkids. The 3 older kids took to her right away. Little Monkey took a little longer, but he came around. We will definitly book with Victoria again. We highly recommend her.”
About: I have years of pet care experience! I have spent my life wanting to make dog parents' lives easier. Not only have I had animals all my life, I have 5 years' experience at dog boarding facilities that also include daycare and grooming. I love all dogs, big or small. I also have experience in puppies, older gems and those who may be considered "difficult". I am here to make your life easier when you have to leave your pet. We all know it isn't fun to leave them, but I am here to ease your mind! I will make sure your pet is at ease while their human is gone! I can't replace you, but I will make it more bearable! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet! I can make time for morning, midday (depending on location) and evening potty breaks! I will come to your house so that your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own home. Unless you request that I bring them into my house, I usually like to keep them in their normal routine and place!
“Julie is amazing!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would. She has been great with all my pets. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone and everyone. She’ll take great care of your babies!!”
About: I have had many dogs/cats my whole life and have grown up taking care of them. I will treat your pet with love and care because that is what any pet deserves! I am currently working part-time with very flexible hours so I will have the time to take care of your pet! I can pet sit during the week and the weekend. I will give your pet as much attention as they require! I will feed them and take them potty whatever times you need me too as well as walking them. They will always be taken care of with me!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were out of the country for a week and were nervous leaving our puppy for the first time. Melissa took amazing care of her and sent photo updates all the time, which really put us at ease. Our dog loved playing with her dogs and it was nice that she had a separate area for just her in case she got overwhelmed and needed to relax. We will definitely book with her again in the future!
Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.
Katie did a great job with our curmudgeonly chihuahua! She handled his drama super well, stayed calm through the big ice storm that hit Charlotte while staying at our home, and helped trouble shoot our system when the thermostat went out unexpectedly. When we were delayed coming home due to the storm, she was happy to stay the extra night and left our home in great condition. I'll absolutely be reaching out to her again when our little old chi needs a sitter in the future!
