“Mafe took amazing care of my fur babies! From the photos she sent, my dogs looked so happy, relaxed, and truly at home. It was clear they were receiving so much love and attention. Mafe and her family were exceptionally kind and gentle with them-I honestly think my dogs were a little upset to leave! I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such a caring environment. I will definitely be using Mafe again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our dog. He is an anxious dog at times and Ashley did a great job working with him. She kept us informed with photos & texts and he was comfortable at her home. I would definitely recommend Ashley!”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Karin took amazing care of my Zucchini! This was my first time using Rover so I was naturally nervous to drop my baby off, but I felt better knowing she would have around the clock human care and interaction while I was gone because I know she gets lonely on shorter trips when I've had friends just drop in. Karin assured me Zucchini would be fine, and she was! She sent me updates and pictures daily to let me know how Zucchini was doing. She even went the extra mile and clipped Zucchini's nails for me, which I greatly appreciated because the week up to me leaving had been tough on a personal level and I had planned to clip Zucchini's nails before her Rover stay but never got around to it. Karin is one of the nicest people I've met and best pet mama, she was very flexible with pick up/drop off times and even offered to come pick Zucchini up for me if needed before I left. I definitely plan to use her services again in the future if she will have us. Thank you Karin for making my first Rover experience a great one.”
“Randy is always great and willing to help at any time. At the last minute she even allowed me to add my Grand dogs. She is the best when it come to keeping your fur babies! The boys really enjoyed!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! I've always loved animals and wanted to take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether this was my next door neighbors or my own, I was always up for the job! I own a mini horse (my 1 year old saint bernard), 1 inside only cat, and 2 outside cats. As for work, I am a fourth grade teacher and have the patience and enthusiasm to be the pet sitter you need. Currently, I am a 4th grade teacher and because of my schedule, I am only able to board animals from Friday afternoon through Sunday. I am available to do drop in visits Monday through Sunday. I have a fenced in backyard that connects to another fenced in yard belonging to my parents and their two dogs. These areas are closed off unless I want the dogs to have some play time. All 3 dogs, including my own, are very sweet and get along well! Dog can be easily crated if needed, I own a large crate with a lot of room. As for your home, I will treat it like it's my own and love your pets like they are my own. Animals provide a nice change from the chaos that goes on in the everyday life of a teacher. I look forward to taking your fur baby on walks, providing enrichment, and other pet related needs!
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was 21. I am a nurse and feel comfortable taking care of dogs of any age. I currently have my own doggo who is a 14yr old, spade, lab beagle mix. I am presently working from home and have availability for daily pet care. Even for my own dog I am traditionally not away for more than a few hours. I have a fenced in patio and my own dog to help keep your pet company. Walks will always be leashed ones. If there are any concerns with how your pet and mine would get along I would be more than happy to conduct meet and greets.
“Layla loves to stay with Gail! She is always excited when I drop her off and Gail always shares photos of the fun she has while she is there! Gail has watched Layla multiple times now and we will continue booking with her!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. My family currently breeds labradoodles, so I know all about puppy energy and overall high-energy pups. We currently have 4 dogs of our own. As a full-time student at ECU, I keep an organized schedule that allows me to provide reliable, consistent care for pets throughout the week. When I'm not in class or studying, I dedicate my time to pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I communicate my availability in advance and plan my schedule carefully to be dependable for both new and returning clients. When caring for your pet, I try to stick closely to their routine—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—to keep them happy and comfortable in their familiar space. I aim to be reliable, respectful of your home, and I'm always more than happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet (and owner) comfort is a high priority, especially with the stress everyone is probably feeling! I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!
“Bianka was terrific. Very thoughtful and kind. This was our first separation from our one-year-old puppy, and Bianka was very understanding of our separation anxiety! During our four day absence, she sent daily pics and short videos, with descriptions of what she and our dog Lily did that day. Lily clearly had a great time with Bianka! Will definitely use her anytime we go on a trip without our pup!”
