Pet Sitting Northeast

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and started dog and cat sitting for friends and family when I was around 13. I also previously worked at a horse barn, so I’m comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities! I now have a five-year-old Border Collie, Hazel, who keeps me very active. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel comfortable with me. I’m active and love being outside, so I’m always happy to go on a longer walk or spend extra time playing. I also know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I’ll follow their normal routine, pay close attention to your instructions, and send plenty of updates and pictures. I’m especially available for dog walking and drop-in visits, whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a longer walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away. I currently work full-time from home and have plenty of flexibility throughout my day, which makes it easy for me to fit in walks and drop-in visits. I’m also fully available in the evenings and on weekends, so I can work around your pet’s normal routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and stay aware of our surroundings during walks. I also understand that trust takes time, especially with shy or anxious pets, so I’ll be patient and let them warm up to me at their own pace. You’ll receive regular updates and pictures, so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being well cared for.

“Morgan is great! Highly recommend. Poppy loved hanging out and playing with her in the yard. Morgan was on time (even let me know she was on her way), very positive and playful with Poppy. Will definitely book again.”

“Ayla did an amazing job watching our dog/home while we were on vacation! Our dog was happy when we returned. Ayla was prompt and very communicative on any issues that came up during our trip. She went the extra mile, took our trash cans,l for us, and even watered/trimmed our tomato plants. Highly recommended!”

“Tara is AMAZING. She is SO good to our little guy and we feel so good leaving him knowing that on her drop in visits she will give him lots of love and care.”

“Whitney was absolutely amazing! I needed help on short notice, and Whitney went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and to make sure that my cats were taken care of while I was away. We were able to communicate feeding plans, and she kept me updated on how my cats were doing on each drop-in. I would definitely work with her again or recommend her services.”

“Madison went above and beyond for our two dogs during the Holidays. We vet our sitters thoroughly, and Madison went above and beyond to ensure we and our dogs were comfortable booking. During her visits, she did a great job sending us photos and our dogs had a blast while we were out of town. They are not easy to deal with for a lot of folks being energetic larger dogs. I will be booking Madison in the future and could not recommend her more! Thank you Madison!”

“Al and Laura did a great job taking care of Pepper. They sent lots of pictures and really spent time giving some love when they made their visits. I highly recommend Al and Laura!”

“We are so grateful for Erin! She was able to accommodate us last minute when our boarding place was full. She is clearly experienced and did an awesome job with our anxious dog. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our family member in the care of Erin. We enjoyed getting to know Erin and appreciated her down to earth vibes. We highly recommend you book her and we are looking forward to becoming a repeat client! Thanks again, Erin!”

About: I grew up with 2 Dobermans and after they passed I felt like I needed to be around dogs since I didn’t have my own anymore so I got a job at a doggy daycare and it made me realize there is nothing better than hanging with dogs all day and giving them unconditional affection. I work part time at a doggy daycare I’d be able to do check-ins any day of the week unless there is very specific times that are needed and I can board as long as it’s a week in advanced notice I can play and bring your pup on walks, I’m good with high stress scenarios and good a being diligent with stop any problems or concerns before they occur. I’m also okay with crating if that’s what is preferred.

“Amber was awesome! She saved me with a last minute booking and she took great care of my puppy, will absolutely book with her again :)”

“Shana was kind enough to take out my dog's pool and let him splash around in the yard. He loved it and was super tired and happy”

“This was our first time booking Tayler to care for our pets while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She came by for an initial meet-and-greet, was professional, and took the time to get to know our pets and their routine. Throughout our trip, Tayler communicated clearly, provided updates, and cared for our pets as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such great hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. By the end of our vacation, we knew without a doubt that we’d be booking with her again. We highly recommend Tayler to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Nicole took such good care of my babies while we were on vacation. I appreciated the communication and updates. Definitely made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands with her. We will definitely be using Nicole in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Alex, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with pets my entire life and have always had animals in my home, including dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Today, I'm the proud owner of a playful Maine Coon kitten and a sweet Miniature Schnauzer, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet because that's exactly what I'd want for my own. I'll treat your furry family member like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. By profession I'm a registered nurse, and I'm doing Rover because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. As a registered nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I know my shifts well in advance and keep my Rover calendar updated. On my days off, I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while working around your pet's normal routine Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or favorite toys and routines. During walks, I'll keep dogs securely leashed and avoid unsafe situations, and during drop-in visits I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, food, attention, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: As a work-from-home professional, I can keep your fur baby company all day long, and check in multiple times a day. Does your energetic herding dog need twice-daily walks or visits to the dog park? No problem -- they're just like the Australian Shepherd I grew up with and the Rough Collie I petsit regularly. I am also an ardent cat lover with experience caring for my aging childhood cat (age 20+), as well as a skittish rescue with seasonal allergies. If you have a senior cat who needs extra care or shy kitten who needs daily medication, I'm the petsitter for you. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accomodate boarding every day of the week. I'm also available for daycare across Raleigh, although I may have more limited availability on Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. Feel free to ask about my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a small, fenced-in patio and my one cat. She is typically kept in a separate part of the house during boarding, so I can accommodate animals who are reactive to cats. The yard is great for smaller dogs who enjoy being outside, but I can also care for larger animals who need lots of exercise!

“Clarisa was amazing with Alfred! She made us so comfortable with leaving our cat for a week. She was able to troubleshoot him being a little bit difficult with his pills and took great care of him. We will definitely use her again!”

“Nina took fantastic care of our kitties. We were nervous as first time Rover users but she made us feel very comfortable. There was a problem with our kitties electric feeders and she noticed the problem and did the troubleshooting with us to make sure they were working and the kitties fed as normal. Recommend!”

“Maggie was great! She took care of my kitty Sadie so well! I was not worried about my cat at all while I was on vacation. She also sent me photos of my cat every time she had her visit.”

“Jade is my hero. I had previously booked her for a concert in January when a previous (non-Rover) sitter cancelled last minute, and Jade was ready to step up to the plate and help. The concert ended up getting cancelled anyway due to ice, but I knew my wife and I would have another trip coming up soon, and I knew I wanted Jade to be our new sitter. One of my cats I wasn't worried about at all, but the other can be a little shy. Jade was phenomenal with both cats, giving them both the love and care they deserve. She gave us consistent and detailed updates and she's just a joy to talk to. Jade, come back over whenever to see Noctis and Umbra! They love you, too!”

“Alyson is absolutely great! Would recommend!!”
