“Jackson stayed with our dog, Kevin, while we were away for 10 days. He was diligent with making sure Kevin got a walk each visit and we got a cute picture of our obviously happy dog. It was reassuring to know that Kevin was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jackson for any pet sitting or dog walking. He was great!”

We will definitely be using Ashley in the future to check in on our cat whenever we are out of town. She is genuinely a caring and animal loving pet sitter. ?”

We felt very comfortable leaving our girl and home in Megan's hands - she had great communication, was super friendly, and we loved getting to see pictures of their adventures. 10/10 would recommend- thank you, Megan!”
About: I've been around dogs all of my life, including my own and helping out neighbors. I've helped watch dogs from as small as a chihuahua up to a big lab. I am currently studying for my CPA and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most odd times that would be inconvenient for most people. I can follow whatever routine is normal for your dog whether that means just letting them out in the yard, walking them, letting the dog roam free in the house, or crating them.
“Rosemary did a few drop-in visits to my home while I was away to check on my Chloe. She was the sweetest and made sure that everything was set for Chloe. Will def recommend Rosemary and will be using her again in the future!”
“Lacey went above and beyond. I would absolutely book her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a animal sitter. I know my pups are going to miss her. She’s truly wonderful. ❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, snakes, and even a tarantula while growing up, but canine companionship has been a constant throughout my life. I have watched many pets for friends and family throughout high school, college, and into my adult years. I’ve used Rover and other sitters before and know what it’s like to search for the perfect person to entrust you fur-babies with. I’ve had both great and not-so-great experiences in the past with sitters watching my dog, which is why I decided to join Rover myself so I could give other pets and pet-parents the best experiences! I have one extremely friendly pup and I work from home with a lot of flexibility, so I am available for any and all of your pets needs and attention while they are with me. You can expect lots of pictures, videos, and lightning-fast replies! I work from home with a very flexible schedule that allows me to get up and take the dogs for a walk or play at anytime. I can accommodate any pet care routine needed. I have a fenced yard and a super friendly King Charles Cavalier boy, neutered. Pets are allowed on the couch and the bed in this home 😌
“Jess took such great care of my cat while we were out of town. She made sure she had plenty of food and water, and gave her lots of treats, pets, and love. Jess was super communicative and sent adorable update pictures every day. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Heidi took amazing care of our English bulldog. She was timely in her walks & an excellent communicator. We came home to a happy dog. Will rebook Heidi with zero hesitation.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and understand how unique they all can be. I know that all animals may experience a lot of emotions when their owners are away and I try to make sure to spend time with your pet and if able, give them all the rubs if they let me! Sometimes just a human presence can help them feel more at ease until their fur parents get home. My family all pet sits and have experience in several situations of watching your pet(s) and home while you’re away. I currently work full-time remote, so I am able to check on pets with ease. I live in downtown Raleigh and plan to service my surrounding area! I try to seem comfortable in my client’s home so your pets can feel at ease. I normally will get low to the ground/sit on the floor and pets usually love being able to come right over and let us get acquainted. Also, I try to keep an eye out for any vomit/accidents, as I know many pets become stressed when their parent is out of town.
