House Sitting in Neuse Forest

“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Max, followed all his care instructions, and provided photos and updates regularly. She also left my apartment spotless and was an extremely respectful house guest.”

About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.

“Hailey was an amazing sitter. The dogs loved her and she took great care of the house. She followed instructions and sent photos and videos throughout the days she was there. She was available for a short notice booking and made time to have a meet and greet.”

About: I have currently been working with a boarding facility for 9+ years in the last 3 years I have been a dog groomer! I have a chocolate lab, mini doodle, cat and 2 chameleons. I love every animal like it’s my own. I am usually working 9am-3:30ish pm with Wednesdays and Saturdays off! If I am taking care of your pet they will go out or for a walk and fed before I leave and I will go right back to them as soon as I am done! I care for every pet like they are my own, I will do what ever you need me to do. I never take my eyes off of them!

“So happy we found her. She was able to watch 6 pups for us on very short notice over Christmas. Excellent communication and did a great job. Went above expectations. Sent pictures of our fur babies every day. We will most definitely be using her again.”

“This is our first experience with Rover and it could not have been better. Lila communicated well, left us with a positive feeling after meeting her, made our time away less worrisome, and did a fabulous job. We came home to happy and healthy pets. I cannot recommend anyone any higher. If this is what we can expect from all Rover folks, "Put us in coach!"”

About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles. With kitties I will happily utilize the enrichment toys you have.

“John is the absolute best. First time I have ever left my boys with anyone and also had them house sit. Amazing and very stress free experience. Will use him again.”

“Beth took great care of our German shepherd, Bella. Bella was so excited to see Beth again. We know she loves her! I always know I'm leaving her in great hands. Bella had back surgery in March, and had a bit of a setback the first day we were gone. Beth was quick to let us know and describe what was going on, and took great care of her. She recovered quickly. The house was immaculate when we came home. We love being able to get away and know Bella will be super happy the whole time we're gone. She almost pushes us out the door so she can stay with her Auntie Beth.”

“Kaitlyn is our favorite house sitter. She did so well taking care of our 3 kitties (and my plants and home as well!) She keeps us so well updated and makes our time away from home so much more peaceful.”

About: Living in the OBX, Willing to travel, see new places! I want to help care for your dog in your home because I believe pets are happiest in their home setting. I never boarded my dog, always traveled with him or had a family member stay. I'm excited to meet all your fur family and see some new places. If you live near trails, i particularly enjoy a hiking dog. I will travel for overnight care up to a few hours. I also visit NH regularly. Im working on something personal right now which allows me the flexibility to travel and dog sit. I prefer the beach, mountains, lakes, quiet over cities. I'm a kiteboarder and hiker, so i'm partial to areas I can explore with these activities. I always follow the household schedule and your pets preferences. During my time in your home, I will leave it generally cleaner than I found it. I'm comfortable traveling to dog parks, trails etc with a dog or two in my car.. I'm happy to keep your plants happy, enjoying a green thumb.

“After a bad experience boarding our Allie we decided to try Rover for a house/dog sitter. We were blessed to have Peyten come and dog sit for us. We had pics and updates throughout our trip and when we returned our baby was still her happy self. Peyten not only took great care of Allie but she left our house spotless! We highly recommend Peyten and will definitely call her again if needed. Thank you again Peyten, Lisa & Vince S.”

“Jillian was very responsive and responsible. She sat with our pets and sent us pics of them. We will use Jillian again.”

Animals are just like people they need to be loved and taking good care of. I volunteered at animal shelters and animal hospitals since I was 10 years old.

About: Been around animals my whole life. Got some vet techs in the family and they’re always bringing home something new for me to watch. Good with most animals but don’t ask me to pet sit a spider or snake… Hard Pass. Can walk or feed pets on weekday nights. And free all weekend so day, night, staying over the house with the pet. Doesn’t matter as long as I can make it to church still. Usually like going outside with the pets. Whether its a walk or just playing in the back yard. And if you don’t like your pet on the couch I will gladly sit on the floor with it.

“Kiley was great!! Chloe loved her! When I arrived she met us downstairs—I was pressed for time! I dropped Chloe off with her “day bag” Gave Kiley a brief rundown on the “Belle “ and was off feeling that she was going to be well cared for!! She sent me pictures throughout the day it was great! Highly recommend— and I am neurotic—super picky about who I let care for my fur baby—who BYW is never left alone !”
