About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have almost always had a dog in my home, and was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and loving on my animals. I’m an active volunteer at the Wake County Animal Center, where I routinely walk dogs of all backgrounds and sizes. I do have a black lab at home who is a big sweetheart and is great with other animals. I just quit my full time job to pursue a startup business that will occupy a lot of my hours but will be fully at home. I have a dog at home who I walk 2-5 miles each day in between meetings to refresh myself and give her stimulation and fun! I have a fenced in yard with lots of great smells, as we are surrounded by trees. We have a black lab named Dixie who is always excited to show her new friends her backyard toys. I also am a big walker and enjoy taking dogs walking in my neighborhood for a mile or two at a time. I do not walk multiple dogs together, as I want to give each dog what they need from their outside time. We are very social people and routinely have friends come by the house. My dog loves extra love but we are happy to accommodate the needs of your fur baby while they are with us!
“Angela was fantastic! Murphy had a wonderful time and got lots of love and attention during his stay. Angela was great about sending photos/videos each day with fun updates about Murphy! Arya is also a sweet dog and was a great host and friend to Murphy while he was there. Would definitely recommend anyone to Angela and will definitely be using her in the future if we can!”

“We love having Julie and RG as our sitters and our pup absolutely loves going to stay with them. She always comes back well exercised, happy, and sometimes even better trained! :) They are flexible and communicative and I trust them to make the right call when caring for our EarlGirl!”

“personable and connected with our dog right away. Available to meet before hand to ask about our dogs routine. Amanda kept us abreast of his stay through a respectable amount of text communication. When it came to puck him up, im not sure he wanted to leave.”
“Bailey can be apprehensive of others but was comfortable with Hiroko at first sight! She was very communicative, sharing photos and videos during his stay. He always looked happy! I definitely had a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.”

“Andrea was amazing! This was my first time ever using Rover and I am so pleased. I had I had to travel for work and I ended up getting a flat tire on the way home and she was understanding and amazing! I will be using her again!”

“I have left my baby Royce with Nickole twice when going on a trip and I look forward to many more times. Royce never wishes to come back to me after have experienced a stay at her house. She is great at communication and sends pictures as often as I’d like. Highly recommend even though i’m extremely picky with sitters!”

“Working with Rebecca has been an absolute joy! She is extremely responsive and is a caring temporary parent for our dog Oreo. We appreciated the opportunity to have a meet and greet at her place the night before drop-off. She has a great fenced in yard and sent us multiple pictures and updates throughout the stay. We definitely will have Oreo spend more time with Rebecca the next time we need a sitter.”

“Ravon and her husband were the nicest people! They took great care of out 3 cats, Great communicator! Sent pictures and updates to let us know how the cats were doing, highly recommend.”

“Martine did such a great job with my boy. She is very responsive and gave me pictures and updates on how he was doing which definitely helps to put your mind at ease when leaving your dog somewhere new. Thank you!”

“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”

“Everything about boarding with Evan was stellar. Great responsiveness, listened to all my instructions, inviting at dropoff. The farm is perfect for dogs! tons of fenced in room to roam. Lumi came home super zen and well exercised. Would recommend!”

“Sammy had a wonderful visit with Vanessa! She sent lots of cute pics and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”

“As always, Lauren is amazing! My dog Finn is a regular for her but we recently adopted a new furry family member named Cleopatra. Lauren was kind enough to do another meet and greet so Cleo could get to know her and her dogs first. She did great at the meet and greet and she did so well with her stay! She made lots of friends! We’re so proud of her and we’re so grateful for Lauren and her family! Finn and Cleo will always be happy to stay with them! <3 :)”

“Cara and Stefan’s family were wonderful and attentive caretakers for our 5 month old puppy Daisy, a rambunctious Wheaten. We received daily photos on our weeklong trip. Daisy received plenty of attention including walks, playtime, and snuggles and had such a great time!”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”

“Andrew was a fantastic sitter for my dog! My pup had a great time staying with him and came back happy and well taken care of. Andrew was very responsive and sent regular updates with pictures. Highly recommend!”

Northwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Angela (and her pup) were fantastic watching my senior dog for 10 days. She sent daily updates with a couple pictures each time and even accommodated for my time change so I can see them during the day. I could tell my pup had a great time with them as he was going back to Angela for pets before leaving. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone

This is the third time Rebecca has taken care of Olaf and Pinky, and they absolutely love her. They are always happy and well cared for, and we have complete peace of mind when they're with her. Great communication, reliable care, and a wonderful experience every time. Highly recommended!

Cannot recommend Nickole enough! We ended up having to extend our trip due to a sickness and she was so understanding and helpful. It alleviated so much stress to know our dog was in good hands and we are very thankful for her willingness to keep her longer than originally planned! She was great about sending pictures and our dog loved her stay with them!

Cristina was wonderful. She is clearly knowledgeable about dogs, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and sweet videos, and even got our shy pup to warm up to her quickly. She also checked in before doing anything new that we hadn’t previously discussed, which we really appreciated. On top of that, she is warm and kind. Thank you again!

Makyla is amazing! She went above and beyond to tend and take care of me dog!! Constantly keeping me updated and making my dog feel safe and comfortable!! She is very patient and understanding as well! If you're in the triangle area 10/10 recommended to book with her!
