“Kerry Lyn is such an amazing cat sitter! She made sure to send updates including pictures of our kitties while we were gone that brightened our day. She even goes above and beyond. Our cats were acclimating to the new robot litter box but had an accident one of the days we were away. She found the spot cleaner and cleaned up for us. She also bought them Christmas toys! Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!”
“Christie took the absolute best care of our cats and our home while she was house sitting for us. She was very communicative leading up to the visit and with pictures and updates while we were gone. Our cats usually take time to warm up to someone they don't know, but that wasn't the case with Christie. They were comfortable with her within minutes of meeting her! Animals sense good people and good energy! We can't recommend her enough for taking care of your pets and your home.”
“Michele took such wonderful care of our cat, Oscar, while we were away! She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Oscar can sometimes be shy, but he warmed right up and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat! We will definitely be booking with Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Stacie was very accommodating to set up a meet and greet before we left which made me feel more at ease being this was my first time using this app! Would definitely recommend/book with her again!”
“Kevin did an excellent job caring for our senior kitty, including administering medication and visiting twice a day. He is reliable and thorough, and I highly recommend booking him for all your pet needs! Thank you so much, Kevin!”
“We absolutely are very satisfied with Makayla! She leaves notes for us as well as pics of Tucker! She really gets the whole missing our puppy during the day. Tucker is happy with her too!”
About: I have experience taking care of multiple types of animals at the same time. I have 15 animals that includes dogs, cats, and reptiles. I was very involved in the training of one of my dogs and I have dogsat for a friend that has 5 German Shepherds. I also have experience catsitting and reptile sitting. I am currently working and going to school so my hours vary depending on the day.Contact me for a specific time. M,W, and F I am unavailable 1-9 T and Th I am unavailable 10-5 With dog walking I will take all precautions necessary. Whilst I am walking my own dogs I always carry pet correcter and pepper spray in case of an unforseen circumstance. I will carry this energy with me while you trust me with your dog. I will do everything I can to prevent any accidents. Same goes with the drop ins whether it be with a cat or dog I will be just as dedicated.
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and well-being. My experience includes everything from daily walks and feeding to administering medication, grooming, and providing loving companionship. I recently left my career as a mental health therapist to homeschool my child. He has a huge passion for animals, and in addition to our pup at home, we both would like more experiences taking care of and being around other animals. We have time out in the community built into his school schedule each day where checking-in or dog walking would fit in nicely. I will work to build rapport and get to know your pet’s behaviors, routines and any special needs. I’ll strictly adhere to your guidelines for feeding, exercise and any special care needed. I’ll be sure to keep your home secure by locking doors and securing gates to ensure the safety of your pet and home. I’ll treat your home with care and communicate with you regularly. I’m highly observant and will watch for any signs of illness or distress in your pet and will address them and reach out to you promptly.
“Kasey is a gem we happened to find here on Rover and we are so pleased with her drop-in visit service we used for our male cat. She perfectly delivered what we asked her to do with/for him and it was just above and beyond our expectations! We wish we knew her sooner because we are moving out of the country, but we are going to use her service again very soon. We recommend her 100%!!!”
About: I’ve been the sole caretaker of both my dog and two cats for 3 years now as well as a snake for 2 years. I’m happy to watch elderly animals or babies. I’m a teacher so throughout the summer I don’t have much to do, figured I could hang out with some cute animals while I wait for the school year to come back. I do not offer animals in my home as my dog does not get along well with other dogs but I can take cats over night. However I will mostly be caring for animals in your home, I’m happy to stay if you’re more comfortable with that or simply pop in for awhile and hang out with your babie(s).
About: I grew up on a farm constantly surrounded by animals and always had a furry friend to romp or nap with. I would love to hang out with your pup! My house is across the street from the beach so it’s easy to take your pup out for a romp! Disclaimer: I have a 10 lb chihuahua-mix, Tomás, who can be a little territorial. I would love to use this opportunity to help socialize him a bit more but taking care of your pup is my priority. Should they not get along, I can keep them separated by keeping Tomás in my room and allowing your pup free range in the rest of the house. I have watched dogs of all sizes with Tomás and have not had any problems, but I want to be transparent! I work from home and travel, so I can usually take walking breaks as often as needed. Whatever schedule your pup is on, it works for me. I follow instructions strictly from the owner, including crate rules, sleeping rules, exercise, interactions with other dogs and humans, food, treats, and even working on training!

“Danielle was a fantastic dog/cat sitter! She always kept us up to date with her check in’s. My dog was happy to have someone to hang out with while we were gone. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Danielle!”
“We've had Lana drop in for our fur babies twice now and each time she never disappoints! She is responsible and communicative and loves our kitties 🐱 ❤️ definitely recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, and it’s truly my passion. I have a natural soft spot for pups of all shapes and sizes and know just how to make them feel loved, safe, and comfortable. My Chesapeake bay retriever recently passed, so I welcome all the requests! I currently work remote 9-5 Monday through Friday with breaks and opportunities to feed, walk, and take care of pets! Very reliable and good time management! I take great care and show love to all pets! It’s important to make sure all pets feel welcomed and at-home when staying with me!

She is constantly learning about better ways of doing things and implementing them. She walks the dogs and creates play time and enrichment activities. She is awesome!”
Danielle S.

Camrynn
“When out of town I had Camrynn watch my golden doodle, it was a total of 3 weeks. She did a great job, he stayed at her house with her and she treated him as her own. She kept me updated with funny pictures and helped him get accustomed to other animals. Overall she gave him so much love and care I would absolutely recommend her help to anyone.”

Lisa B.
“Lisa is great with dogs and is a very capable pet sitter! She has watched both of our dogs on multiple occasions, and each time we've been totally happy (and so have the pups). Most recently we left our boxer with Lisa for a two-week trip out of the country and everything went very smoothly. Our dog was very happy! Lisa's apartment is great for dogs, and is very close to the neighborhood dog park so our pup got plenty of exercise and play time every day. I could tell that Lisa really likes dogs and wouldn't hesitate to leave our pup with her again!”

Taylor Z.
“Taylor stayed at my house to take care of my 2 dogs and cat for a week while I was on vacation and she was seriously THE BEST. There were several stressful events that she had to deal with and she handled them like a champ. She was really good about keeping me in the loop but handling the situations herself which was more than I could ask for. She also did everything I asked including taking my high energy 1yr old pup and my other dog for a long walk or to the dog park every day she was there. So she wasn’t a complacent pet sitter at all, she was very involved with my pets which meant a lot to me. She also went above and beyond what I asked for though - she stayed way longer on the last day than planned because our flight got delayed; she cleaned the house (or at least kept it incredibly clean while she was there) and washed all the linens before she left which we absolutely did not ask her to do; she even picked up all the dog poop in the back yard which we didn’t ask her to do either. She didn’t mention any of this, I just discovered how much she took care of things when I got home. She was truly great and it was SO nice to only have to miss my animals, not worry about them. I’ve had a lot of pet sitters over the years and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. My ONLY complaint about her is that she’s only in my area temporarily so I can’t make her my repeat pet sitter! Finding a different one after her is going to be so tough. Not only do I trust her to take care of my pets, but I believe she makes sure to love them while I’m gone. I can also trust her 100% to stay in my house. She’s so caring with the animals and totally trustworthy - you can’t put a price on that!”
Chloe W.
“I've known Chloe for years, and she is incredibly responsible and compassionate with animals. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe and loved. Highly recommend her!”

“Addisen was amazing! I’ll be using her in the future for the cat checkins at night! She was attentive, prompt, and professional!!!! THANK YOU!”
