“I have booked with Felicia three times now, and she has consistently provided a great experience. What stands out most is her attention to detail; she asks a lot of questions upfront to make sure she fully understands my dog's routine and comfort levels. It’s clear she wants to get everything exactly right, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I'm away. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the well being of the animals in her care. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone thorough and attentive!”
“Morgan was awesome with Ginger and the house. She was engaged with her and made sure she had lots of playtime. She was reliable, prompt, good communicator. and a great listener. She did everything I had asked for. Ginger enjoyed her company :)”
“Erin was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with to set up the booking, asked plenty of questions to make sure Diablo and I were taken care of, and sent me picture and video updates of them enjoying each other's company. If possible, I will book her again in the future!”
“Gracie is awesome! She takes great care of my babies in my home and shares lots of photos every day. She is very responsible, communicative, and clearly cares a lot about the pets she watches.”
“Skyler was great! She responded back quickly and helped us out on short notice! Our dog Belle and our house was well taken care of! Would definitely reach out to Skyler again to watch our dog!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all sizes since I was little. Animal care has always been my passion growing up and that’s how I ended up with my very special kitty Buddy! I work full time(8-5), but have weekends off! Depending on driving distance to my job, I can be there for my lunch break to let them out and potty. Depending on the animals needs/ owners needs I am very flexible. Between, if you want me to, keeping up with training, daily walks, or even just laying around and snuggling on the couch. I am all for it!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I recently had to let my two girls go, so I’m looking forward to loving on your babies. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Both of my girls needed medication towards the end, so I’m familiar with administering pills on a schedule and anything else that goes with owning a senior dog. My oldest had dementia, so if your pup has that, I can handle the quirks that come with that. I’ve also watched my friends bigger dogs, and they love just as much cuddles as the little ones do. Taking your fur baby out for walks, cuddling with them, and playing with their favorite toys would bring so much joy. You’ll have peace of mind (and updates) if you let me take care of them like you would. I am a teacher, so during the weekends and summer I have all the time to spoil your precious baby. Being a teacher also means I can spend extended time with your pet during the summer. I’m very good at following schedules and routines to help make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will love on them, play with them, and do anything else you need so both of you feel relaxed while you’re at work or on a trip.
“Hannah was amazing! We needed someone to stay with our pups on short notice, and Hannah came to the rescue! She was so communicative, and sent lots of sweet notes and pictures while we were away. I would definitely use her again!”
“Zaine did a great job of taking care of our dog, Dodji. She let him sleep with her which I'm sure he loved. When he got sick she contacted us to let us know. She even let us pick him up late at night since he wasn't feeling his best. We would use Zaine again!”
“THE BEST PET SITTER WE HAVE HAD EVER!! I would 1000% hire Cassie again for any dog sitting or pet sitting I need in the future. I received a ton of photos showing just how much fun my dogs were having and honestly they probably wish we went away more often now!”
“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
“Kari was amazing with my pups. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed of all their activities and was very patient when Sunshine didn’t want her meds. 100% recommended!”
“Emmaleigh was great! She was super sweet and loving to my pup who struggles very badly with anxiety. Emmaleigh was a life saver for my partner and I!! We had a last minute trip for the holidays and she was just overall amazing. I will be using her for all my future dog sitting needs!!!”
“Amanda was awesome. Needed someone last minute and Amanda came through with taking outstanding care of our two dogs. She was great with the dogs and communicative with us throughout the stay. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for their pets while they were away. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to routines, safety, and each pet’s individual needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if it were my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and again after 6:00 p.m. I’m also fully available on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in their own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, maintain routines, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep pets in a calm and safe environment. I treat every home and pet with responsibility, care, and attention.
Hickory pet parents share their Rover experiences
As always, Maya took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs had a health issue while I was away and Maya took her to the vet and had her checked out. She made sure she received all her new meds until I got home. I came home to a freshly made bed and clean home. I can’t say enough good things about Maya and my dogs love her.
Hillary was a wonderful dog sitter for our family! She came to our rescue when our original plans changed at the last minute. She's very organized, professional, and detail-oriented. She's also a genuinely nice person and was attentive with our dogs' special needs. She was proactive in communicating and sent photos and videos to keep us informed. She was sweet with our dogs and very patient with their emotional needs! It gave me peace of mind to know our girls were well-cared for while we were away. We will definitely book with Hilary again!
