“Debbie has been watching our two boxers for years. After moving to North Carolina for a new job we often drive out of our way to her house whenever we drive south. Our dogs love Debbie! She is very caring to our senior dogs and sends us pictures and updates daily. We always know our dogs are in good hands when she watches them.”


“Ms Monica was a great choice. Our regular sitter was not available so we panicked but then we found Ms Monica!! She was understanding and very considerate of Storm's needs. She took the time to get to know Storm, she made him feel like he was at his own personal spa!!! She made me and my family feel at ease by sending many pics and videos. She went above and beyond great care with Storm. She spoiled him and really catered to him. He was treated just as if he were at home. STORM LOVED IT THERE!!! We will most definitely be using Ms Monica from here on out!!!”


“Carolyn was Amazing and really took time out to send videos and pictures. She kept me informed throughout the day. I will be using her again & glad she cared for Coco like she was her own.”


“Evelyn was awesome! My dog Phoebe enjoyed her time at Evelyn's home. I received various pictures of Phoebe throughout the week. I'm so glad I found a person that I could feel confident about to watch my pup while away. Thank you so much, Evelyn! 🌸🌷🏵️”


“We are crazy thankful for Alexis! Had another sitter fall through and she was available for us last-minute so we didn't need to cancel our weekend plans. Alexis was very courteous and professional with our doggo! Chow chows have a bad rep for being an aggressive breed but Alexis was willing to meet ours and give her a chance to prove what a friendly, caring dog she is, and she had a great weekend away! Thank you again, Alexis!”


“Alexandrya helped us when we were in a bind. She was responsive and was able to pick up our dogs quickly. She sent updates regularly and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”



“Easily the best sitter i’ve had using rover! truly makes my pup feel like family and im never in worry of him being anything that amazing. so communicative and sweet and her kids kept my pup of energy occupied and happy!! couldn’t say more great things!”


“Gabrielle watched my dog, Grace, for 5 days and I was completely at ease knowing Grace was in great hands with Gabrielle. She sent photos of Grace playing in the yard with her friendly and fun dog, Asher and going to the park. Not only did Grace have a great time but she also made a new dog friend. I would 1000% recommend Gabrielle to anyone and will continue to use her to watch Grace anytime she can!”


“Martina is AMAZING! She agreed to take my dog last minute and was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I dropped my dog off, she was instantly comfortable and there were only good vibes. She helped my dog meet some new doggie friends which I know my dog loved. I know that my dog got plenty of love and attention as soon as I picked her up. She didn’t bark at the door like she usually does when I got there so I know she felt safe and at home (which can be hard to do because my dog is super anxious). She was ready to pass out as soon as we got in the car so I’m sure she had plenty of exercise. I got responses instantly and she sent me a picture of my pup. I am not from the same area, but I would be willing to drive hours to drop my dog back off to her & I don’t think I could ever go to anyone else again for boarding. Normally I worry about leaving my dog because she has separation anxiety, but this was the first time I didn’t have a single one. I am so thankful and blessed!”


“Brennen was an excellent sitter for my kitten, Biscuit, while I was out of town for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Biscuit is a playful and social little guy, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which made being away much easier. I came home to a happy, well cared for kitten. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brennen again-highly recommend!”


About: My specialties are playtime and my attentiveness. I will bathe/drop off for grooming, walk, play with, feed, and snuggle your pets as if they were my own. I’ve cared for animals since childhood, gaining experience with many personality types. That’s taught me patience, intuition, and how to make pets feel safe and loved. I’m currently Active Duty Air Force and will have lots of time with your pet :) My windows for boarding opens from 11am-1pm and then again from 4:30pm-6pm on week days. On weekends I will be available from 9am-5pm I have a decently sized, fenced in backyard, plenty of room for your dog to safely run around or for your cat (if harness trained) to sniff and explore :) In my house, your pet would be fed along with mine at 6:45am before work, I’d return for lunch at 11 to feed lunch (will skip if specified) let your dog out/scoop litter boxes, and then after work your babies get more of my full undivided attention by playing with them and cuddling them, watch TV with them, making sure they are 100% comfortable in my care. After Dinner we will wind down for bed and your pup would be crated for the night :) If I’m pet sitting at your home, I will follow the rules that you have for me to do for your pet and ensure they are taken care of✨

“Ms. Michelle was very helpful, loving, kindhearted, supportive and very generous to My Goldie! She administered AND documented Goldie’s seizure medications thoroughly without me even asking her to provide documentation of any kind. Ms. Michelle communicated with me throughout Goldie’s stay with her and she even sent pictures to show me Goldie’s wellbeing. I would definitely recommend Ms. Michelle for your pets needs and I’ll definitely be using her again! She even took the time to ensure Goldie was safe and comfortable by giving Goldie her own room filled with toys, food, water and litter. If that weren’t good enough, Michelle sent Goldie home with food and toys as well! Thank you Ms. Michelle for EVERYTHING!”


“Jennifer and her family were great with Charlie! She kept me updated with pics and really seemed to enjoy having him around. Charlie made some new best friends with her dogs and had a great time ?? I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely ask her to watch Charlie again in the future!”


“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”



“Ashley was seriously amazing! Watched my dog overnight and kept me totally in the loop with updates and cute pics, which I really appreciated. Super flexible with pickup time and even sent him home with treats and a refill of doggy bags! You can tell she genuinely cares. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Definitely booking with her again! 💛”


“Erica was an absolute blessing to our family. We've been hesitant about boarding options for our Goldendoodle - as she's truly part of our family, and we could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. Erica took amazing care of Ellie, sent us daily reports and photos, and communicated perfectly.”


“Lindsey was able to help us out in a difficult situation. She was professional, knowledgeable, and caring. She sent us updates while we were away, including pictures, which helped us feel at ease. I would hands down recommend her to keep your fur babies. We had a wonderful experience.”


“Bradly and the whole family were awesome.He update by photos. We felt like they considered every bit of care we could hope for. His kids were also an extra kind of help! They were excited and made sure our pup had the utmost attention. We would gladly use him again and recommend this sitter to others.”

Kirsten E.
“My name is Branford 3rd, and Kirsten brother, I can tell you firsthand that if you're looking for someone truly special to care for your furry family members on Rover.com, Kirsten E. is absolutely the right choice. Kirsten has always had an incredible connection with animals. Growing up, our house was practically a zoo, and she was always the one who could calm a nervous cat, get a shy dog to play, or even get our more unique pets, like our peacocks, and chickens, to warm up to her and thrive under her care. It's not just a job for her; it's a genuine passion. A Nurturing Touch for Every Creature What makes Kirsten stand out is her unwavering dedication and gentle nature. She's incredibly responsible and pays close attention to every detail, from specific feeding instructions to making sure your pet gets their favorite belly rubs. You can trust her to not only follow your routine perfectly but also to provide that extra level of love and individualized care that makes all the difference when you're away. I've seen her in action with countless dogs and cats, and they just adore her. She treats every animal as if they were her own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. She'll keep you updated, give them plenty of playtime, and make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible while you're gone. You'll be able to relax knowing your beloved companions are in the best hands possible with Kirsten.”
