“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”
“Tresalyn is fantastic! She house sat for us and took wonderful care of our dog, cat, chickens and fish while we were gone. She took the time to get to know our animals ahead of time with a pre visit and was so kind and considerate when we met. She made sure she understood the needs of our high energy, anxious dog and gave her plenty of exercise and lots of love while we were away. It was clear to us when we returned that she had cared for our home and pets with deep love and consideration. She also sent pictures and updates regularly while we were away, which we greatly appreciated! We are so grateful we found her! We can’t recommend Tresalyn enough!”
“Grace stayed overnight with my 3 month old puppy. She spent the whole night with him, kept up with his feeding and potty schedule and my aparment was exactly how I left it when I got back. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet they love!”
“Kathryn was excellent, she was attentive and communicative throughout the time she was watching Ares. She sent consistent updates with pictures and made us feel great about trusting her with our fur baby and home. She will definitely be our go to dog sitter/walker for any future needs! Great energy and awesome personality took incredible care of our big baby.”
“Johnny took fantastic care of my senior dog, Cheeto while I was away & sent me lots of photos and videos to calm my anxiety due to being away. He’s incredibly trustworthy and dependable and will absolutely have you back! Thank you so much!”
About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.
“Lynsey did a great job! So happy was able to leave for the beach and not worry about anything. She was great with communication and with sending pictures. I would happily book Lynsey again!”
“Thank you so much for watching Cocoa on such short notice. She took to you right away. I'm sure she had a good time. The house looked just the way it was when we left. We really appreciated you watching her, thanks again! Lisa”
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
About: I've always had a deep affection for dogs and their care.Dogs are best companions that I enjoy spending time with and who help me avoid loneliness, so I don't always think of them as animals. I'm now concentrating on my studies and schoolwork for the future, but I'm happy to assist with pet care when I have free time to help out If your dog comes and stays with me, they will have a great time and be well-cared for because I have a lot of space for dogs to run about on. My dog loves being outside and having someone to play with
“Maysen came to the campground we were staying at to keep our dog for the day, since the scenic train ride we wanted to take didn’t allow dogs. She arrived early, was very polite and friendly, and Waylon loved her. We were very pleased with her service. Would recommend and book with her again.”
About: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there
About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.
“Courtney was so fantastic!! we are so happy we could book her for her first rover gig (: She was very good with communication, updates, and just overall keeping us informed about the well being of our doggos. She made us feel super reassured while away, which is all you can ask for when away from your fur babies. She is so sweet and caring of your animals and embraces them for who they are! Would live to book with her again (:”

About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I currently have two dogs. I have been pet sitting on and off since I was a teen. I recently moved to NC and have an abundance of time since I left my corporate job! I would love to use this additional time to care for and hang with your pets! I am currently in a small apartment until we move onto our land. Due to limited space pet setting would be best in your place. I can accommodate another small dog or cat here though if needed! No fenced in yard but we walk and hike often so they get out.

Tyler W.
“I cannot say enough good things about Tyler! I have a large, energetic dog who loves to pull and can be a real handful on walks. I’ve always been super hesitant to leave him with anyone because of that, but Tyler handled him with total confidence. He’s strong, calm, and clearly experienced—my dog actually came back tired, which never happens! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Tyler also kept me updated with photos and little check-ins which I really appreciated. Will definitely book him again!”

Lily G.
“What I appreciated most about Lily is not just her obvious love and compassion for animals but also her professional approach. When I left I knew my dog would be in great hands. Pet sitting is not Lily’s side job, it’s what she loves and it’s what she does for her livelihood. She is extremely good at it, so good, that I thibk my dogs loves her more than she does me. Lol. I have recommended Lily and the great job she does to my friends and family and will continue to do so.”
Kristina M.
“We have only been using Kristina for about 4-5 months as she just moved to NC. So far we have been very pleased with her! She has stayed at our place multiple times while we were away and also popped in for walks and potty breaks. We both work a distance away and are called away last minute for work often so having someone who has an open schedule and can be booked last minute has been a huge life saver!”
