“Steve is wonderful!! He really went above and beyond for us. He was attentive and caring with my animals, on time, thorough and communicative. I felt so much peace of mind knowing that he was taking care of them. I will absolutely book him any time I need help with my pets. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thank you Steve!”

“Beth is so wonderful with my cats. They are so happy when she comes! I really appreciate how reliable she is and completely trust her caring for them. I highly recommend Beth. Thank you!”

“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”

“We had Swagata watch our puppy for multiple days while at work since she wasn’t old enough to be left alone all day. Swagata was very accommodating and helpful, she sent lots of pictures and our puppy was always happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her care for our puppy again in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with a taken care of dogs my entire life. We have a lively and loving home full of two children and our 1.5 year old dog. I will make sure your dog is fed, played with, walked and loved on constantly. I am currently a med student, so I have classes from 8 am until about 2 pm and then I’m available to be home studying and taking breaks to walk and love on your pet. We have an apartment so no fenced yards here unfortunately. But we have walking trails around the complex and I would love to walk your pet around there. I have two children (2 and 7) who are ultimate animal lovers too. I have a 1.5 year old dog who loves all animals. She is very high energy but extremely sweet and non aggressive.
“I hired Tara relatively last minute, yet she made time to come over prior to the job to meet my elderly dog and cranky cat. She was completely comfortable with their care, including medication for our dog. Her check ins were timely and through. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was in middle school. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped puppy-sit dogs through the Canine Companions collegiate chapter at my university! I am also comfortable with any size pet, I’ve cared for puppies and kittens all the way up to Great Danes! I’m currently a student, but I have a lot of availability. My class load is light and I’m not on campus much so I have very flexible availability! I am good at following whatever instructions left for me relating to any of the pets’ needs. I have taken care of animals before for other as well as my own pets so I’ll make sure they’re treated well and get lots of love and care!
“Elizabeth was great! Plenty of photos to give the over protective cat owner confidence in our boys’ well being. She was responsive and, most importantly, a cat lover like us. We cannot recommend someone more highly!”

“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”

General Trust & Home Care: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors are locked and security systems are reset before I leave. You will receive a detailed update after every visit, including photos and a confirmation that your pet is fed, and safe. +When walking your dog, safety is my absolute priority. I perform a 'gear check' before we leave the house to ensure collars and leashes are secure. I stick to familiar, safe routes and am always mindful of the environment—keeping an eye out for other dogs, traffic, or unsafe debris on the sidewalk. I am also happy to follow any specific training commands you use to keep your dog's routine consistent. +For cat visits, I focus on maintaining a low-stress environment. I am extremely careful when entering and exiting to ensure your cat doesn't slip out the door. I respect their space, letting them approach me at their own pace. If your cat requires a special diet or medication, I double-check instructions to ensure feedings are administered exactly as requested.
About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.
“first time I used Rover and was pleasantly surprised by the care Caroline gave to my dog. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog. Took him for nice walks and let me know how he was doing.”

“Faith is fantastic. She is so attentive to detail and truly cares for animals. I am so grateful for her help this week on a last minute request. She is a life saver. Highly recommend!”

“Shannon did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucy!! It was our first time using Rover and I’m very glad it went so well. Shannon took her for lots of long walks and kept me updated on Lucy’s eating and bathroom habits. Would definitely recommend her and book again!”

“Sydney took great care of my cat. She sent regular photo updates. She gave Pip plenty of attention during visits and Pip even posed with her for a selfie. Pip never does selfies. When I got home, my cat was happy and calm. I will absolutely hire Sydney again.”

About: I grew up with pets and have years of experience caring for animals, including feeding, administering medication, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from walks and playtime to maintaining their daily routines. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I truly enjoy caring for others’ and making sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’m currently a student at Wake Forest, so outside of my class schedule, I’m pretty flexible and able to adjust my routine to meet your pet care needs. I am not available 12-3pm M-Th or T/Th 9:30-11am. In clients’ homes, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and well cared for by following their usual routines. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, cleaning up after the pets, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, or walks. My goal is to ensure pets feel happy and secure while their owners are away.
