“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Jasmine was great with our senior cat and guinea pigs. She communicated well and sent photo updates. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we returned.”
“Melanie was a tremendous choice for housesitting and petsitting! She was communicative, professional, and attentive. I never once worried that my babies weren't getting the care they deserve! HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Averi was great! Dogs, house, and plants clearly cared for. She was very flexible when our schedule changed. I am certain that we will book her again!”
“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”
“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕”

“Allyson took great care of our pupper and was always available with updates and pictures! We have already booked her for future dates and highly recommend her!”

“I can’t recommend Caitlin enough. She house-sat and cared for my dog, Dusty, while I was away, and everything was flawless from start to finish. She’s incredibly professional, sent regular photo and video updates (which gave me so much peace of mind), and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. Not only is she amazing with animals, but I’ve also worked with her before—so I already knew she was reliable, detail-oriented, and just a genuinely good human. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and your home with the utmost responsibility, Caitlin is it.”
“Liz is FANTASTIC! She made my pup so happy while I was away for a week that he is probably sad that I came home! She is reliable, communicative, friendly, and LOVES animals. I hope to have Liz doggy-sit for me again :)”
“Megan was great with our dogs! We had to go away for a few days with short notice, and she was awesome enough to come house sit our 2 pets. They were pretty much instantly in love with her. She provided daily updates and we felt secure knowing our dogs were well cared for! Thanks Megan!”
“Booking Nancy to watch our two greyhounds was the best decision ever made!!! She was very communicative and took great care of both of our girls. Our oldest is almost 12 and has some mobility difficulties, but Nancy made us feel right at ease that she was going to be well cared for. We loved getting a few updates a day on what our girls were up to and took all the stress away from our trip out of town.”
“Communicative, friendly, left our home clean. And, most importantly, she took such good care of our furballs! Even my most shy cat came out quickly for her! I'd definitely book her again!”
About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.
“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”

McGuire pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!
Savannah took great care of our cat and angsty dog while we were away! Our house too. She was on top of communication and dog walking, and went above and beyond providing k9 emotional support during a thunderstorm. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to booking her again!
We had Alexis stay with our dog for five nights. She was communicative and flexible and clean. But I must tell you that... I'm half tempted to tell you that you was horrible. Terrible. This way no one will book her and I can always book her and she won't won't be tied up with other people lol.
Erica took excellent care of our pets while we were out of town. She was very communicative and send plenty of photos and updates. I would recommend her and would happily hire her again.
We love having Amber stay with Ruby! Ruby loves her so much, and Ruby doesn’t love many people! We always know she’s in great hands when we leave her at home with Amber. Will continually rebook!
Emily did such an amazing job! She sent updates and photos of our pups and we could tell they loved her. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend trusting Emily to take care of your fur babies!
Jamie was absolutely awesome with Marley!!! She took him on long walks, played with him and fed him!! She sent me some pictures of him as well!! It was so good to see that Marley was so happy with her!! I also received a page long summary of the weekend!! Marley has some hot spots and she gave me some suggestions on how to help with them!!! She definitely went over and beyond!! also got texts each day to let me know how things were going!! I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!! I definitely recommend her!! I will use her in the future!! I am so very glad I found her!! 🐶❤️
Nicole was the best! She treated our dog like her own, and she made sure to give us daily updates. She left our house exactly as we left it, as well. We will definitely book with her again!
All I can say is WOW! Allie and Nicholas went above and beyond for my two frenchies! One being a 7 month old who is a wild child and got stung by a wasp and Allie quickly took her up to the vet after she noticed symptoms of an allergic reaction. I was incredibly thankful for her paying such close attention to my babies. I have to say I have found my pet sitter from here on out! They are so nice and very meticulous on doing everything exactly the way you want them to! If you use them as your sitter you will not regret it! My mind was completely at ease while I was away. 🥰
Kathryn is great all around - top notch communication, snaps the best pics during the stay, and most importantly loves on my pup so well. She is always happy and tired when I get back!
Abby was great! Sent pics of our pup and took great care of her! Will definitely be using her again!
Once again, David was great! Sent photos and updates and our fur babies love him. Top notch house sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jordon was fantastic—highly responsive and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated regularly with photos and notes about our puppy’s activities, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief to know our puppy was in such good hands and having a great time. The entire experience was completely stress-free. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Jordon again!
Alex was fantastic and really cared for our two Golden Retriever puppies and our two cats. The puppies are a lot of work and Alex stayed over the weekend and kept the entire clan happy and busy. Will definately use her again.
Thank you Bailey for looking after our dog Marshall and the house while we were in the Caribbean! Marshall was well cared for and happy and healthy when we returned! We received updates and pics of Marshall and knew he was in good hands. Would definitely book again for house sitting, dog walking, or drop ins anytime! Thanks so much Bailey!!!
Alex did a great job dog/house sitting while we were away for two weeks. He paid careful attention to the diet/medication instructions for our two dogs and sent regular picture updates. When we returned the house was neat and tidy and he even left a light on for us 🙂
Kyle took great care of our girls! He was attentive, detailed, and took great pics of our dogs while we were out of town.
Emily was fantastic!!! She was able to come on short notice to watch my blind dog while I was at an appointment, pictures were sent while I was out and more importantly my lil man was kept safe and cared for!! Talk about peace of mind she made my day worry free, Thank You So Much!
Wow! Where do I start, Jennifer is beyond amazing from the moment my dogs met her they loved her, she was so sweet and took such good care of my babies, I came out to Richmond to spend some time with my family and I needed someone to watch my babies and I found Jennifer. I’m so grateful for her she sent me updates and pictures of them hourly to reassure me they were doing well! I felt so at ease leaving them with her. I def recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your dogs or cats. She’s very flexible and very accommodating. Thank you Jennifer for everything!
