About: Hey there! My name is Ravyn. I’m a military spouse, and a stay at home mom to our 1 year old boy. We have 3 hyper doggies of our own at home who love and adore our baby. With my flexible lifestyle, I’m able to be fully available for drop ins and dog walking all day long, whatever time you need, for however long you need. I’m quick, attentive, friendly, and great with communication. I’m very well experienced with hyper, high maintenance, puppies, as well as giving medication to elderly dogs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, all different types, and sizes, and I always adjust to their wants and needs. Can’t wait to meet your pup(s) and form a relationship to make them feel comfortable while you’re gone! My lifestyle being an SAHM and a military spouse gives me the flexibility to meet your drop in needs. 6am-5pm my son will be with me (who loves dogs!) and anytime after 5pm it will be just me. I’ve had dogs of my own who have struggled with anxieties, anxiousness, and alertness. So gaining their trust from the beginning is very important to me to form a strong foundation with them. I adjust my sitting based on their behavior, I can be sweet if they need love, and I can be stern if they need structure. I can also water your plants, check your mail, and make sure your house is kept in order while I’m doing my drop in visit to take any added stress off of you while your gone.
“We were very happy with Carinna. The photos she sent, especially with Maya shows her very relaxed with Carrina. That is a feat in itself. Thank you so much. We will call again!”
“Robyn did an excellent job taking care of our boy. Very professional and updated us every day. We had 0 issues and I would consider that she went above and beyond for our friend. Highly recommend and we will be repeat clients. Thanks Robyn!!”
“Excellent. Can't say enough about how great care my fur babies were given. I was sent photos everyday of each of the cats, plus being told what they were up to. I don't trust many people with my pets, but I will use Tara again. You won't go wrong with her care.”
About: Hey ! My name is Anastasia and I've grown up around animals my entire life. I'm the person at every function who seeks out the family pet over the gathering itself. I've received K-9 first aid training to ensure your pup is in safe hands. I currently own 2 huskies and snakes of my own. I would love to meet your fur friend :) I currently am working part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I'm very active and spend lots of time outside walking and running to best benefit your pups exercise needs. I have a partially fenced in yard and 2 huskies that are very people, puppy, and kid friendly. They enjoy to run and play all day and enjoy meeting new friends.
About: I've had dogs since I was a toddler. I love dogs and have cared for puppies and older dogs. I cared for cats, fish, ferrets, reptiles and rodents I am energetic and love to play and snuggle. I'm currently finding my niche after working in customer service for years. Dogs have been a part of my life and I am currently looking for my match dog. I have a fenced in yard and your dog can play with me there. I love to walk, so we will be walking a lot. I would snuggle too.
About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to Miniature Pinschers. As a Husky owner, I’m also familiar with more challenging, high-energy, and stubborn breeds.I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including those who are visually impaired or have medical conditions. I’ve worked with diabetic dogs and understand the importance of maintaining a strict schedule, as well as safely administering medication, including injections. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays from 8am to 2pm, and again anytime after 4pm. On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate care at any time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs.
“Thank you so much Christine! My babies were happy when we got home so that tells me that you gave them lots of care and love! ❤️ I appreciate YOU and will definitely book you again.”
“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Tabitha checks in on my pups when I am at work. She takes them out and plays with them. She is always response to messages and is kind. 10/10 recommend her for pet sitting services.”
“I moved here not knowing anyone and needed someone to come let my babies out 2 times a week. She came and met me and the pups; and we instantly loved her! She truly loves and cares so much for them just like her own! She is dependable and so sweet; and we will continue to rebook every week with her! Me and the pups are so thankful for her!”

About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in New Bern choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
