“Eileen came over 2 times a day for 3 days to take care of our two dogs and cat while we were away on vacation and she did a wonderful job! My big dog can be a little weird when it comes to meeting new people but Eileen was very patient and by her last visit, my dogs and cat ADORED her! She was awesome and if the opportunity arises again and we get to travel, I will definitely be contacting Eileen to help us! She was great with communication and response times and she made sure we were extremely comfortable leaving the animals for our trip! Thanks Eileen!”
“Another worry free trip taken knowing our pets were well cared for by Lyndsay. Her thorough reports always ease our anxieties. Hard to imagine a better experience.”
“Haley checked on our 2 cats for us while we were away on vacation. She was very punctual and sent us updates/photos the entire time. We would definitely love to have her watch our fur babies again in the future!”

Based in KDH, I serve the surrounding Outer Banks communities within a 30-mile radius.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. Back in Texas, I had a hobby farm with cats, goats, chickens, and my lovable dog, Hero. We even boarded dogs on occasion, and my passion for animals has only continued to grow. These days, I enjoy getting outside often—I’m a recreationalist who loves walking and hiking with my own dog. Now that I’m new to the Outer Banks, I’d love the opportunity to walk your dogs or stop in for house visits with other pets, too. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved. You can feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to answer any questions or concerns before booking to help put your mind at ease. I am currently a stay at home Mom, with school just around the corner I will be kid free with plenty of time to care for your pets! While caring for your pets in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll happily provide updates about the visit—including whether they ate, went potty, and how they’re feeling—along with photos and even our walk route. I can also administer any needed medications, crate them if required, and ensure your home is secure before I leave.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my entire life from dogs all the way to alpacas! I grew up riding and taking care of horses since I was 6 which came with learning about how different animals communicate. I also grew up with 2 Jack Russell’s who were both my best friends until they passed from old age. I am luckily the only member of my family who isn’t allergic to cats, I think it’s because my grandmother had 20+ cats when I was a kid, and I made it my personal goal to befriend every single one. I love animals and I promise I will love your dog, cat, fish, snake, etc just as much! If you do happen to have a pet that is not a dog that needs to be watched let me know, and we can work something out! I currently work full time at a fishing pier Monday through Friday and work part time as a server, and do kayak tours on the side, so this is also a part time gig. I want as much time hanging out with your fluffy friend as you do, so please request at least a week before your visit to the Outer Banks or if you live full time here. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for long walks on leash, and I live with my boyfriends 4 year old golden retriever named Axel (the boyfriend too) and often bring him on many adventures with my rover returnees.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, when I got my very first pup — and I’ve been the go-to dog person ever since. Friends and family always count on me to provide loving, dependable care, whether it’s a weekend getaway, daily walks, or a fun-filled playdate. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each dog — I treat them like family, not just another booking. Every pup gets love, play, and plenty of tail wags while you’re away! I’m available for dog walks, boarding, and drop-ins after 5 PM every day, with Sundays and Mondays completely open for all-day care and cuddles! I truly appreciate every opportunity to take care of your furry family and show them some love while you’re away. I am very respectful and trustworthy in client's homes. I can easily accompany your dog in their own space to make them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. Whether you’re heading out for a day or a week, you can relax knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and in trusted hands.
About: Allow me to care for your fur babies. I am a proven trustworthy and responsible pet owner, and will care for your pet as I do my own. I love giving dogs loving attention. I have a fenced in yard for off leash play time, and if your dog is a couch potato that is fine too! I am open to a meet and greet any time. I am here to work for you and your pets needs. I am a very active retiree who enjoys walking, I would love the opportunity to care for your dog. I have had many breeds of dogs my whole life. Small dogs and a St. Bernard! I love all dogs. I am also a very satisfied Rover client. I have found it gives my peace of mind knowing my dogs get individualized attention when going to a Rover sitter. I have a fenced in yard and a good sized home with a porch. So lots of room, for playing or quiet time. I have 3 dogs that are all very friendly and playful with other dogs.
About: Foster mom of 1! Most of my free time is spent walking dogs at the shelter so I have lots of experience with every type of dog! My parents run a pet care business and I often help them with daily walks as well as overnight stays. I live on a horse farm and have extensive experience caring for livestock as well as household pets. I work at one of our local mountains Saturday- Tuesday. I’m happy to drop in after work if your pup needs, but I’m also available all day Wednesday-Friday! My pup is a recent foster who prefers some space when he’s outside so I often let him out first thing in the morning, then we do a 20-30 minute walk before having breakfast and often lounging around the house until we go outside to get some exercise in the early afternoon.

Susan C.
“Susan is the most caring, loving, and most of all knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. She walks, feeds, has a great big fenced backyard for the dogs to run around safely. She’s well known local here in the Outterbanks. I’ve left my two dogs with her more than several times and my dogs love her and her dogs. I’m so glad she decided to join the Rover family now.”
