“We can highly recommend Judy. She just took great care of our two cats for two weeks. Additionally, she took care of our bird feeders, collected our mail etc. I don't see how it could have gone better. If you need a pet sitter, you can't go wrong with Judy.”
“Sherri was great as usual & I'm not sure how Judy was booked Judy was mentioned as a backup if Sherri wasn't available. Never any contact from her til the Sunday evening before the 4 th. Please refund that booking Thanks.”
“Taylor took good care of my five cats during daily drop-ins and communicated well during the booking process and when any concerns arose during the petsitting period. I'd book Taylor again!”
About: I have 2 senior dogs with special needs so I'm familiar with administering medicine & the extra care that older babies need. I've cared for many dogs & cats over the years and love them all! I'm currently working part time in the afternoons. I have my mornings, evenings & nights open to help care for your pets while you're away. Since I have many pets at home, I'm currently looking to care for pets in your home. With frequent check-ins about their care, you'll always be updated about how they're doing!
“This was my second time booking Terri to watch my cats. She did a fantastic job! She is thorough and I can tell she cares for them well. They warmed up to her more this time and she was actually able to send photos of both cats--no more hiding :) Terri will definitely be my go-to sitter.”
“Aaron was excellent. We have 2 cats, one old who is friendly, and the other ex feral who is usually terrified of strangers. There I am visiting family, and I get a video of my "feral" bumping around getting her head & butt scratched! Quite a testament to the kind of person Aaron is. The litterbox was spotless. The cat food dishes were washed and neatly stacked. We will not hesitate to use him again.”
About: I've taken care of puppies, handled diaper changing for a physically handicapped dog, administered medications and daily vitamins, walked multiple dogs at a time, and have handled emergency vet visits for a dog with a seizure disorder. I truly enjoy spending time caring and playing with animals, they add so much to my life. I am embarking on a new adventure, just having moved here to North Carolina. Besides being with my family, spending time in nature, and caring for our furry family members at home-the rest of my time will hopefully be spent caring for your furry loved ones. I wouldn't be able to board in my own home, but can definitely do a stellar job caring for your animals in any way that is needed.
“Adreahna took great care of our kitty, and our kitty warmed right up to Adreahna. She checked in and uploaded pics of her, which we lived. Kitty wasn’t even mad when we got home! Thank you!!”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our older kitty, Georgia Mae! She came to our home a bit early so that she could meet us and our Kitty. I was hesitant to have anyone watch our kitty, because yes, I’m an overprotective fur baby mama, and could not bring myself to put her in anyone’s care but my own. Let me tell you, letting go, and letting Kim take care of her was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Kim was so loving to Georgia Mae, she showed her caring and love of fur babies right away, and our Lil girl went right up to Kim in trust....great sign! I am already looking at other dates in the near future for Kim to again show her love for Georgia Mae, and sweet manner with myself and my husband. She is the best! Thank you Kim! Thank you Rover! We now have a wonderful new friend of our family!”

About: Growing up we always had animals. When I was old enough, I cared for them 24/7. Once I got in high school, I joined FFA and my love for animals grew more than I could ever imagine.

I have 2 dogs of my own but they are great with other animals.

Murphy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Judy was fabulous!! We had lost our fur baby last year when a neighbor was watching her, so my father and I were so worried about leaving our new baby alone for the weekend. I found Judy with great reviews, contacted her and she responded quickly and happily. She came and spent time with our baby boy, helped him eat (he DOES NOT eat when we are gone but he did for her after she won his trust), took him on long walks and really just took the best care of him. We loved getting pictures updates! We got home to a perfect house and a happy puppy. Would highly recommend and we will be calling her in the future when we have to go away for craft festivals (we are a woodworking booth). Thanks again!!!
