“Nancy is a true gem of a sitter! The pictures that she sent, and the notations kept me totally at ease the entire time she had my Cisco. Though I rarely use a sitter, I would recommend Nancy to anyone who wants a loving and safe environment for a special pet. I was really pleased that she took Cisco walking so often. You can trust your pet to Nancy.”
About: I’m an extra large( Anatolian) and small( mug) dog breed owner with a nice sized backyard. I love to walk and I love dogs. I’ve had experience training not only my dogs, but a few stubborn breeds. So for all my large and extra large dog owners, I’m here to help. I work from home, so if your dog is dog friendly, they can board or spend time in my home if not, I’m available for a dog walking early mornings and evenings. I have a fence yard and two friendly fur babies. I’m a large human being so walking any breed of dog will not be a problem.
About: Hi, I am Alex. I work full time at Forsyth Humane Society on the marketing team, where I spend every day advocating for animals and supporting the mission from behind the scenes. Outside of work, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits because I genuinely love being around animals and helping busy pet parents feel at ease. I am reliable, attentive, and respectful of routines, instructions, and safety guidelines. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means an energetic walk, a calm potty break, or extra patience for nervous animals. You can expect clear communication, punctuality, and lots of care. I would love to meet you and your pet. I am currently working from home so I can do a drop in visit during the day consistently. I also am happy to help out on the weekends. I care for my dogs and client’s dog in any way they may need. I will follow any schedule and needs that you may have. I have once has a cat sleep on my head because that’s what it did when it was stressed.
“Paige was perfect and kind. My two dogs warmed up to her pretty much immediately. I got update texts in the morning and night with pictures of my dogs. I will definitely be going to Paige first when looking for a dog sitter whenever it comes up again.”
“Rudy had a great overnight stay with Mary. She is a good communicator and sent me pics which I appreciated getting. Mary is a great new resource to me especially since she is only 5 minutes from my home. Thanks again, Mary!”
“Brooke was easy to work with, accommodated last minute changes, and communicated quickly. We received pictures and regular updates on how our babies were doing. We will definitely use her again!”
“Rachelle Was Great I Had A Death In The Family And I Was So Distraught I Needed A Break So I Find Her! And I Wasn’t Disappointed At All If U Looking For A Great Sitter Rachelles Your Girl!”
“Awesome sitter! Sharonda and her dog were very friendly and inviting from beginning to the end. She checked in frequently regarding Benji and sent pics while I was away. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Kacie was absolutely incredible with our dog Brodie! We were in town for our wedding at Bella Collina and she went above and beyond and you can tell she is just super caring of all the dogs she takes care of. We worked out an arrangement where she would bring our dog to our venue for our ceremony and it went sooo smooth! I would 100% recommend her, especially for any others who may be coming in out of town and might not get a meet and greet like we couldn't. Our only regret is that she didn't live closer, as she would definitely have become our go to sitter after this experience.”
About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
About: I’ve been the family’s pet caregiver since very a very young age. I wanted to be a vet as a child but life took me a different way. Now that I am changing careers/paths, I’ve decided this a great time to spend more time caring for pets. I love dogs, cats, horses, wild life…I recently made a life change to have more time to enjoy the things I love, and taking care of furr babies is one of those things. I love walking and playing so high energy dogs will be happy campers. I’m also an avid hobbyist photographer with a professional camera and I love photographing pets, so I can always do that for you as well on my visits! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs of all sizes, so long as they’re not aggressive. Im currently free and enjoying life, so I’m hoping to do a lot of pet sitting/walking/playing. I’m available several hours each week to take care of your pet. I have two dogs (130 lbs boy and 55lbs girl) and two cats, so I feel I’m well versed in taking care of multiple pets if that’s what your need. If you only have one, I’m also perfectly comfortable with that and he/she will be showered with love, care and play time.
About: I was raised in a dog family, so have been taking care of them my whole life. I've taken care of pets for friends and family. I've even spent time working in a Dog Kennel/Daycare too. I have experience with all breeds, sizes, ages and quirks. I have a house with a good yard, located conveniently off of I-40, near Triad Park. I service Greensboro and Winston-Salem; the Triad is my home. I enjoy catch, walks and hiking. I'm a fan of huge dogs, and enjoy playing games with smaller dogs too. I love pits & bully breeds! Currently, I have a wide availability so you don't have to worry about your furry family members one bit. Be at ease while your pet is in my care.
“If you are lucky enough to get on Blanca's schedule, consider yourself highly blessed. From beginning to end, Blanca was a dream to work with. I boarded Max with her for a week while I was out of town for work. Everyday, she sent updates that included pics and videos of their daily adventures. She had planned activities for Max so that he wouldn't be as homesick. He has anxiety and she made sure to take his emotional state into consideration throughout the week, giving him lots of hugs and belly rubs and massages to calm him down. Max is hardly ever comfortable with strangers and when he met her, he immediately went inside her house and greeted her. She has a peaceful presence and home where fur babies and fur parents feel comfortable. I'm so thankful she decides to use her gift of hospitality in this way. I'm so thankful for her service. Her home is Max's second home.”

We are so thankful for the wonderful care they provided to Pluto! The daily updates were especially appreciated and gave us reassurance throughout our trip. They were responsive , flexible, and very accommodating with Plutos's food requirements and our late pick up. Most importantly,Pluto was well cared for. We would definitely trust them with him again.
I had a very last-minute, not-ideal situation — Billy hadn't met the sitter, it was short notice, and honestly it was a tricky ask. She accommodated everything we could possibly ask for and tried her absolute best in a situation that wasn't perfect. She made the most of it and did everything she possibly could. Billy ended up falling in love with her kids and had a really wonderful time. I was so lucky to have found Jess for our emergency last minute boarding needs. She and her family went out of their way to make Billy feel special and loved and included. He didn't want to leave! If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond and make your baby feel at home, book her. She's the best.
Rachael made our first Rover/dog sitting experience a great one!! She communicated quickly when we were trying to book our stay and asked questions to make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pictures and updates on how things were going throughout the week. Drop off and pick up was a breeze…she made it super easy and quick and had everything ready to go. We will absolutely use her again in the future.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
