“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sophia! She helped me out last minute, was quick to respond, and treated my dog Tiko like her own. He came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Communication is great. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have many years experience looking after my own two dogs, from puppyhood to retirement. I was also a student intern at a canine rehabilitation center. I am comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and backgrounds, and would be honored to assist in their care! I am currently finishing an internship so I am usually most available in the evening and on weekends, but I do occasionally have daytime availability depending on my schedule. I am happy to work together and find the best time that works for you! I am unable to keep pets in my apartment at this time due to the rules of my lease agreement. I'm more than happy to adhere to guidelines and rules in your own home to keep your animals safe and keep your privacy secure.
“Ella did a wonderful job walking and caring for our dogs. She was very communicative and on time and left pictures and notes about their walk. I felt very comfortable knowing my pups were in caring hands! I would not hesitate to use her services again.”

I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs.

I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable in their environment, and I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
“Heidi came to my condo and walked my dog 3x a day while I was away. My dog took to her immediately, very communicative, pic updates, and always on time. I'll def book her again.”

“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”

About: I have been around pets my entire life and cared for my childhood dog from the time he was a playful puppy until his senior years with dementia. Through that journey, my heart grew so much from the love and responsibility of caring for a pet. For the past few years, I have also helped other families with dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether we are playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. I will care for your pet like my own. As a recent NC State grad and job searching, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive, consistent, and reliable care throughout the day and week. Whether it’s going for long walks, feeding on schedule, or giving pets lots of playtime and affection, I can easily adapt to each pet’s specific needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and my open schedule means your pet will get my full attention. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their owner’s home by following all instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, and plenty of exercise and attention tailored to their needs. I respect the home environment by keeping it clean and safe, and I prioritize clear communication with pet owners by providing regular updates so they feel confident and reassured about their pet’s wellbeing.
About: I am a current medical student at Campbell and a cat dad. I grew up with dogs and am happy to work with either! Muriel my kitty is super sweet but she is a nervous nelly around dogs, so I am not accepting dogs for boarding at this time. I am willing to commit to regular visits or walks if the time and place work out well. I am able to set my schedule on a day by day basis and have great flexibility. I can most likely accommodate whatever your needs are. I prefer to work with well trained animals.That being said, there is only love and respect in this household! I promise to never intimidate, harm, or threaten an animal. If you crate your dog, I will do my absolute best to keep them out of a crate as much as possible while you’re away.
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I recently worked as a veterinary assistant, so I am very experienced in animal care. As a veterinary assistant I gained competence in a variety of veterinary skills, as well as an ability to be attuned to animal behavior and body language. I also have experience petsitting both cats and dogs. I have cared for a variety of sizes and breeds, as well as elderly and special-needs pets. I am comfortable administering medications if necessary. I am a college student with ample free time to visit and care for your pets. I love spending time with animals, and I am excited to continue my pet-care journey! I will be a trusted point of contact for all things pet related. I am highly responsible and detail oriented, so you can feel secure in choosing me to care for your pet!
“Brittany was fantastic with our dog! She was a great communicator, sent lots of photos, and loved on Ollie so well. We are thankful that we could feel confident with Ollie’s care while we were out of town!!! Brittany is the best!!!”

About: I've had two cats living on my own for the past four years, so needless to say I have plenty of experience with cats. I also have a family dog who I’ve taken care of for several years now, even house/dog sitting for my parents when they go away! I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets as the startup companies I work for keep failing to meet revenue goals and laying people off! So I have plenty of time now! I love my cats with my whole heart and would treat anyone else's pet like they're my own. Playing with cats is always a joy and meeting new cats is so fun because they're all so different!
About: Hello! I'm Paige & I can't wait to meet your sweet fur babies. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have always had pets of my own, so from a young age, I learned how to prioritize caring for my animals as well as my friends, family, and neighbors' pets. My clientele is growing as current clients refer me by word-of-mouth to their friends, so I wanted to partner with Rover to extend my services to you! I prioritize caring for your pet and will accommodate to any concerns you may have. The transition from home to vacation should be simple and enjoyable for your pet, and that is my main goal while caring for them. While you are away, I would love the opportunity to bond with your pet while giving them the love and attention they need. My dream is to have a dog of my own, but it's just not the right time. I love the opportunity Rover provides to love on other's pets! I provide overnight dog sitting services, so I can care for your pet right in their home where they are the most comfortable. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the uttermost care to keep your fur baby happy!

I can spend the afternoon throwing their favorite ball or going for a walk. Many cuddles and pets will be given, of course!
“Kasey was awesome. She was ontime, easy to talk to, and took excellent care of my great dane. Summit really liked her time outside, she was tired from her walks just like I was hoping.”

“We had a great experience with Josh! Aside from being really accommodating with our schedule, Otto looks forward to seeing him when he arrives and I can tell he’s worn out from playing when they’re done. The time is a high-quality, impactful interaction for our new puppy.”

“Saki had the best time with Lucia! They went to the dog park and he ran forever / he came home happy and exhausted! I wasn’t feeling well that day and Lucia was so helpful, responsive, and prompt, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saki was in great hands. Would absolutely use her again!”

“Katherine was great with communicating and sent photos during her visit, she showed up on time and followed all of my instructions. I will definitely use her again.”

Hillsborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sophia has taken excellent care of my dog! She is reliable, prompt, personable, responsible and kind. She follows all of my care instructions to the letter and consistently performs at a very high level. I would not hesitate to work with Sophia and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker or sitter.

Jenna has been absolutely amazing! My dog can be intimidating to most, but she was confident and kind from the moment they met. Now my pup adores her and gets excited for their walks. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely. Highly recommend! 🐾

I cannot say enough good things about how great it has been having Katy walk Ned following my surgery. It really helped keep Ned happy and eased my mind that he was taken care of until I could handle walks again. Ned loves her and would sit by the door waiting for her to arrive. I will definitely use Katy again in the future!

Elias is one of the best! He takes care of Clément by giving him extra love, following directions on taking care of him, keeping me updated throughout the day, sending photos and videos, and playing with him. He is such a nice and caring person, and people should book him with hesitation! 100% recommended!!!
