About: Hi! My legal name is Diana, but I prefer to go by Joey. I grew up with pets of all kinds, and have been pet-sitting for over ten years. I began in my neighborhood when I was in middle school, and over the years, I became well-acquainted with my neighbors and their pets. Several continue to hire me to this day. I have experience with dogs, cats, and many exotic species. I'm particularly fond of reptiles and have a leopard gecko. I am patient and calm, so elderly and shy animals tend to do well with me. Respecting an animal's boundaries (while ensuring they are properly taken care of) is very important to me. Most recently, I worked with Pet Butler and received over twenty 5-star reviews while employed by them. I do freelance work from home and make my own schedule, so I can accommodate my clients easily. When house-sitting, I spend the majority of my time in the client's home, prioritizing that pet's schedule while doing other drop-in visits during the day if possible. I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting at my client's home. I am very detail-oriented and read instructions before each job, regularly referencing them while getting to know the routine. Safety is very important to me, so for any pet visit, there are some basic protocols I follow. I do not use retractable leashes and keep a spare in my car in case a client does not have a standard leash.

“Brittney took great care of our pittie, was very responsive and proactive in reaching out over text while we were gone, and was very attentive when our boy broke out due to allergies. I’d highly recommend!”

“Chelsey and David took such great care of my dog and two cats and were extremely responsive. Communication was always quick, and they were thoughtful, proactive, and genuinely willing to help. I would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Randy showed patience and kindness to my grumpy cat. I can tell that he loved playing with Randy. Randy was respectful of my property and time. I will definitely rebook him in the future and recommend him to my friends.”

About: Like many pet parents, I often rely on friends, coworkers, and family to help check in on our fur babies when my wife and I travel for work. While that support is invaluable, it doesn’t always line up—and when it doesn’t, it can add unnecessary stress to an already busy trip. Because of this, I truly understand how challenging and stressful it can be to leave your pets behind. That’s why I offer reliable pet care services for fellow pet parents who travel frequently or simply need an extra helping hand. My services include check-ins, walking, and house sitting. At home, we have five cats: one 16-year-old geriatric grump and four energetic “crazies” ranging from 3–5 years old. Each has a unique personality, but all share a love for food and plenty of belly and head rubs. I specialize in cat care, as cats are often misunderstood as being “easy.” While some are, others require more attention and emotional support—something I know firsthand. Cats, like people, can experience separation anxiety, stress, and even depression when their routines change. My own cat, Chuck Roast, is a perfect example and always needs extra care when I travel. This has taught me how important it is to understand and respect each cat’s individual needs and personality. While cat care is my specialty, I also have experience caring for dogs. I’m always happy to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit and that everyone feels comfortable before moving forward. I know your pet is a cherished member of your family, and I promise to care for them with the same love, patience, and attention they deserve. I work out or RTP and have a very flexible schedule to support your pet care needs. Please reach out and let me know your unique needs. My rates are flexible. Always happy to discuss this to see how my services can help your needs. I work a pretty set schedule and am able to walk your pets, let them out to potty, do check-ins and feed them, or house sit at your place(dependent on my schedule and if I’m traveling for work)! If interested, we can see how I can help!

“Audrey did a great job taking care of my kitty's. I had to go to a funeral and was so glad when she accepted my service request on such short notice. She followed my instructions, provided some other unexpected services and provided pictures. She was great ??!”

“Bell was amazing! She was reliable and timely. She would give me updates and knew how to care for my elderly dog. I would definitely book her again.”

About: Hey! My name is Jordan, I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 3 years and babysitting this past year for my friends and family! I just turned 18 so I can finally make an account of rover, but I love animals. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and cats and can match whatever energy your pet needs, whether that is going on a run, playing fetch, or chilling on the couch watching a show! Truth be told I care more about animals than people. Maybe that sounds harsh, in reality we do not deserve animals but we get the best companionship you could ask for. I’m currently away for school and can explain how much I miss my dog. I’m hoping to pour love into other pets while I can’t with my own ♥️ I am a part time cosmetology student at Aveda Chapel hill. My hours are 9 am to 8 pm Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Every other day I will be more than happy to spend time with your pets. I live with my 24 yo sister and her husband. They have a dog named Tony who is super sweet. Before being able to watch pets in my home I would have to introduce them to Tony to make sure both parties are safe. if I am watching your pet at your house feel free to ask me to wash dishes, straighten up or do a load of laundry! Same goes for housesitting!!

“Our babies loved Kim! She knew what they needed and went above and beyond for them. She also was very accomadating to our last minute request. We are so thankful she took such great care of our children!”

“Kristin did a great job with my cat and handled the somewhat complicated instructions for getting into my apartment building perfectly! I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating timing needs as well.”

Sarah S.

“Katrin took great care of our cat, Bodie, while we were out of town for the holidays. She was easy to communicate with and gave us plenty of pictures and updates - and even got our typically shy cat to play. Overall, it was a great experience and we felt at ease with her checking on our pet!”

Greg H.

“Scarlett did an amazing job with my cat. She took great photos, and I could tell my cat was smitten since they had lap time from the first visit. Definitely will hire Scarlett again going forward.”

John M.

“Blake is a wonderful caretaker! She gets great photos of my cat! She is flexible and reliable, and a great communicator. Makes it easy for me to relax when I am away from my kitty.”

About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster with Hope Animal Rescue, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.

“Anita was perfect! She was so easy to work with and took great care of my two cats for the week I was gone. She went above and beyond what I asked of her and made sure my babies were well loved and taken care of. I would 10000% recommend her services, she’s the best!!!”

About: Growing up with my rescue dog, Jazmine, shaped the way I care for animals. She had only one working eye, so I learned early that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Looking after her taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Today, I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I work remotely, which allows me to spend more quality time with the pets in my care while maintaining a flexible schedule. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at ease. In addition to Rover, I’ve also cared for pets through other trusted house-sitting platforms, giving me experience looking after both pets and the homes they’re most comfortable in. I understand how important trust and communication are, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your booking. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s routine, and committed to providing the same level of care I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy until you return!

“I wish I could leave 10 statrs because she deserves it. I've never used this app and she was the first Individual I hired. Constant updates with pictures and descriptions of the visit that made us laugh out loud. Sam went above and beyond to ensure they had water, sweep up their poop motel (Litter Robot) and actually spend time with my babies. She is amazing and I was able to tell my family about the app as well. Thank you Sam for everything, you're always welcomed in our home.”
