“Julie is FABULOUS! She offered to do a Meet & Greet beforehand which I loved. She is super sweet and our foster pup immediately took to her! (He even tried to follow her out the door as she left.) She took excellent care of him, and I have no doubt she treats all her clients like her own. If we need someone again- Julie will be our go-to!”

“Hannah provided excellent communication and was thorough when asking details about my pet. I will be requesting her services again in the future, and would absolutely recommend her!”

“Logan was prompt and professional at booking and he was respectful and kind when picking up and dropping off our dog. We enjoyed having his help and look forward to using him for walks in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: My step-dad is a vet and I worked with him at the animal hospital from ages 11 to 26. We have a 66lb Berniedoodle (Preemo) and a cat (Guru). We have a big yard to play with dogs outside. It’s not fenced so dogs only go outside when supervised. I also trained aggressive dogs in the mountains of Mexico (Guanajuato) so they could get adopted instead of put down. I work during the day Mon-Fri and my wife mainly works from home so our pets aren’t rarely alone. I prefer to spend all day outside or at the park so dogs will get plenty of exercise. Our dog and cat love each other and everyone they’ve ever met. Our house is big and we have a lot of property to play fetch and run around.
About: YOUR dog(s)/cat(s) will be treated just like my own furbabies!! ❤️ I've been petsitting through Rover for 6 years now - so I have a lot of experience.I also currently volunteer and foster for a local rescue. I love dogs with everything in my heart. I love cats also. I've taken care of family pets all of our lives. I had a dog that became partially disabled and needed medication daily. So we're experienced with giving medication and taking care of a dog with special needs. We have rescues, one of which had emotional trauma, and the other simply needed to be mended back to health physically. Those 2 rescue dogs have since found other amazing homes. We've learned a lot through all of the experiences with our own personal furbabies and even more so after dogsitting for years now. I've helped family and friends by babysitting and fostering short term for dogs/puppies as well. I simply love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and love what I do! 💟 This is my only job. So I have plenty of free time and would love to spend as much time as needed with each pet I take care of. This is something I love doing. I love dogs and cats and love to be around them and make each one as happy as possible! I'm happy and willing to have your dog at my home to do playtime, love on them, and obviously feed, medicate, and take care of any needs they may have.

“Dominique was so flexible and kind about a last minute booking. My pup liked her immediately and happily went off on a walk with her. I got lots of pictures even though it was dark and I didn't expect them! Absolutely will book with her again in the future!”

“Sam is a dog charmer! She can easily handle a large difficult dog. My dog showed aggressive behavior towards her when they first met. Sam was so patient and sweet, my dog fell in love with her.”

“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”

About: Hi my name is Gabriella and I have been taking care of dogs for 8 years. I am great with hyper dogs, small, very large, and even shy dogs. I have experienced caring for senior dogs as well as puppies. I'm a huger lover with dogs and will make sure all of there needs and met! I am currently in school at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

I do have a large house and large yard. I live in a neighborhood where I could easily walk your dog safely.

About: Hey, I’m Doug. I’ve had dogs pretty much my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve owned and loved several different breeds over the years, and right now I share my home with a big, lovable German Shepherd and a 16 year old calico cat who has a lot of sass and attitude. I’m also a dad of two, and while my kids are in school I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being outside, going on long walks, throwing the ball until your dog is tired before I am, and ending the day with plenty of snuggles. I’m very responsible and take pet care seriously, but I also try to keep things easy and fun. I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like they’re part of the family, I’d love to help out. I’m primarily available on weekdays between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, which lines up well with mid day check ins, drop ins, and visits while you’re at work. I’m also available some evenings, depending on the day. I’m a parent of two, so I focus on providing reliable care during school hours and select evenings when I can give your pet my full attention. If you have a schedule question or a special request, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to talk through what might work best. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important familiarity is, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medication, litter box care, playtime, and any little quirks your pet might have. I always make sure your home is left just as I found it. Food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes are scooped, and I do a quick check to make sure everything looks safe and secure before I leave. I also spend time with your pet based on what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s playtime, gentle attention, or just calm company. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos so you know how things are going and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well cared for.
“Olivia was an absolute dream. She was so sweet and caring with my 2 fur babies. She was prompt and compassionate. The girls loved her. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. We loved her!”

About: Hi! I’m Ashly, your pets new favorite human (besides you, of course). Whether your kitty/puppy is a social butterfly, a shy hider, or a professional napper, I’m here to keep them happy, fed, and purring/tail wagging while you’re away. I speak fluent “meow,” understand the importance of chin scritches vs. belly rubs (never assume!), and know that every cat runs on their own schedule—usually ruled by snacks and sunbeams. I’ll make sure their litter’s clean, their bowls are full, and they get just the right mix of playtime and peace. While you’re out, I’ll be their cozy companion—someone to chase the laser pointer, refill the treat jar, and most importantly, make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally unbothered. Cat care with a personal touch—because your kitty deserves nothing less than the royal treatment! 🐾 I work a hybrid work schedule with only 2 days in the office. I have incredibly flexibility with my hours and can work remotely from anywhere. Your pets comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I aim for a calm, loving environment where your furry friend can feel relaxed—even when you’re away. In My Home: (I do have a 2 year old cat that can be kept separate). I provide a clean, pet-friendly space where your dog or cat can relax, play, and feel part of the family. They’ll get plenty of attention, regular walks (for dogs), playtime, and a cozy spot to nap. I keep to their usual routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, medications, and even cuddle preferences—because consistency makes pets feel secure. In Your Home: I know how important your pet’s familiar environment is. When I visit or stay in your home, I respect your space and follow your care instructions to the letter. I’ll make sure your pet is well-fed, exercised, and given lots of affection. Whether it’s scooping the litter box, refilling water bowls, giving meds, or just spending time keeping them company, I treat your pets (and your home) with the care and respect they deserve. No matter the setting, my goal is always the same: to make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up I have always had cats and dogs so taking care of them is what I love! I also worked at a boarding facility/daycare facility! I will always make sure they get the best care while they are with me! I am currently fresh out of the military looking for a small part time gig. I do have drill once a month so one weekend a month will be unavailable for sitting. I am currently a full time grad student, so this is the perfect job for me currently! I have two cats who stay indoors. I live in an apartment so my in home care would not be offered at my own residence.

I can’t say enough about Rachel and the great job she did taking care of our sweet chocolate lab Mik. He has a lot of energy and she took him for a long beautiful walk in a park. From the start, you could see she made an immediate connection with Mik and that made us comfortable too. So grateful for her and the way she communicated through regular texts and pics! She is definitely our go-to and highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, friendly, kind-hearted person who will listen to your pets (and your) needs!!
