“If you're looking for a dog sitter then look no further! This was our first time asking Betty if she'd look after our sweet girl and we couldn't be happier. Betty provides exemplary care, is a trustworthy person and also sent adorable pictures of our dog during the day. Also, my dog just absolutely loves Betty so it's a match made in heaven. My wife and I don't get out much, but I can guarantee you in the future we'll be booking Betty!”


“We were so happy with Dinira's service. She was very attentive and caring to our dog. To absolute no fault of hers, our dog surprised a skunk and got sprayed. She immediately called me and was very concerned for our dog. Dinira took all measures to clean up our dog and get rid of the smell. I think she may have even cleaned the house as it looked better than it did when we left. I would fully trust Dinira when we need a pet sitter again.”


“This was our first time leaving our dog for a few days we felt so reassured knowing Jess was taking great care of her. She sent updates and pictures each day and gave her lots of walks and attention. Our dog warmed up to her quick. She definitely put our mind at ease, which was invaluable. We’d recommend her to anyone!”


“Isabelle once again did an outstanding job for us watching all of our pets. She is kind, a great communicator and we are very grateful for her help when our flight got delayed. We highly recommend her!”


“Zoe is a godsend! She took such great care of our older boys - gave their medication, cleaned up after them and provided lots of love to them. We will be rebooking with Zoe every time we travel. Thank you, Zoe! ❤️”


“Reba was truly the best pet sitter we could have ever asked for! She watched our animals overnight for four nights while we were out of state over the holidays. She is incredible and went above and beyond in every way. Im naturally anxious when leaving our animals, but Reba quickly calmed any nerves I had. She sent updates throughout the day with multiple photos/videos attached each time. It was noticeable that all of our animals absolutely loved her and each one got more than enough individual play time/attention. We couldn’t recommend Reba enough and feel so fortunate to have had her taking care of our babies! 😊”


“Dave was absolutely amazing! We have two very rambunctious Aussies that have loads of energy and they had an amazing time. Dave was very communicative and is always welcome back whenever we need someone to watch our babies in the future.”


“Noelle did an amazing job dropping in to let our two pups out on potty breaks, feeding them and making sure all their needs were met. She was extremely communicative and made sure we got lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing while we were away for a weekend! We will absolutely use her again for any dog sitting needs.🩷”


“Lauren and Layla were able to sit for me over a holiday weekend on super short notice. They were swift with their responses, and handled my pup and home like their own. So grateful and will book again if in need of a sitter!”


“Maggie was wonderful! She is very responsible and loving to our pups! I didn’t have a worry at all knowing she was here, especially with our special needs dog! We will be booking with her again!”


“They were great, sent lots of photos, followed instructions and our house was clean when we returned home. Communication was great and our dogs seemed happy. Our dog is very nervous around new people and they did great with him.”


“Cameron (Penelope) was an amazing pet sitter for my dog! Could not recommend her enough! I explained to Cameron that while my dog could be shy, with extra love and care he would come out of his shell. And that he did! I loved receiving frequent updates and photos that Cameron sent - it gave me great peace of mind. Additionally, Cameron was extremely respectful of my home while staying here.”


About: I have been caring for animals practically since birth. Most of my experience lies with dogs, having been responsible for the caretaking of 12 different dogs of varying sizes since I was 5 years old. It started with just taking them outside and feeding them, but as I got older I took on more caretaking responsibilities. From making sure a blind senior dog can navigate the house, to providing enriching exercises to a rambunctious puppy, I've done it all. I've provided mobility support with a special leash to a three-legged dog, and administered insulin injections to a diabetic one. I spend time learning about each dog and their personalities, so I can provide care tailored to them. During summers, I have completely open availability, and when I'm not taking care of my own critters, I have all the time and energy in the world to visit other fur babies in need of my services. Once the fall semester begins, I will be taking college classes out of town, so I will only have late evening availability and all day on weekends. I am willing to work holidays! The most important thing for me is the pet's comfort. My first visits with a new furry friend tend to be all about me figuring out how comfortable this pet is with me. I make sure the pet owner gives me the breakdown of their pet's temperament, so I know how to act. If a pet is very calm, but not too shy, I will reciprocate that. If a pet is super energetic and friendly, I will react the same. I make sure of what kind of treats or food if any that I need to give to their pet during my time visiting or walking their pets. I make sure I know where any cleaning supplies are kept, so I can take care of any messes that occur during my visit.

About: My name is Nancee and I can't wait to meet your Pup! I am new to N.C. and loving it! I've been a lover of nature and animals since I was a child. I've had dog children since I was a teenager and am super responsible. I live in a spacious home with lots of room to play and a nice neighborhood to walk in. I give lots of updates and pics of your pup, like I myself would appreciate if someone was caring for my own. Making animals happy makes me happy. 😊 I'm currently working from home which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate your pups needs. I know exercise and playing is important to younger pups and I'm able to provide walks, playing with toys, or belly rubs. I have a medium size friendly and Zen dog at home. He's a lover boy to the extreme. I have a large backyard with some wooded area and also live in a peaceful neighborhood to go on doggy walks.

“Kelsey is incredibly reliable and responsive. We feel so lucky that she’s available to sit our fur babies. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and has come back to the house to attend emergencies on more than one occasion. We are very happy with her service and are grateful for the opportunity to work with her again.”


About: I was raised in a family where we always had animals, and had a parent in the veterinary field, so I picked up a few things along the way! I love my creatures, and understand how important they are to you. I have the sweetest labrador, a little calico kitty, a bearded dragon, crested gecko, and a betta fish w/ some neocardinia shrimp! I pride myself on approaching pet care with a thourough, thoughtful attitude that keeps your animals as comfortable as possible. I am currently a full-time student, so I have classes in the Fall and Spring. My schedule is not confirmed yet, but I will be free most early mornings and evenings. I will share my schedule immediately once it is confirmed. As of this summer, I am working a part-time internship usually from 10-5, but I have very flexible hours and can do drop-ins between most hours. I listen very carefully to specific isntructions regarding homes and critter-care, and will double and triple check with instructions or owners before doing anything. I am more than happy to allow free-roam around the house/yard if welcome, and if not, crating, restraining, and leash walking are all things I'm super familiar with (raised a labrador puppy, so naturally I faced those same challenges)!

“Michael was amazing with our two pups! He was great at communication and sending updates. He also left our house how we left it! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!! Hope to be able to have him take care of our dogs again in the future”

Nancy J.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter than Nancy! From the moment she arrived, she treated Cora like one of her own. Nancy went above and beyond—sending regular photo updates, taking Cora on extra-long walks, and keeping her cozy with plenty of playtime and belly rubs (which Cora loves lol). She even took care to stick to Cora’s feeding schedule and medication routine without missing a beat. Nancy’s warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals gave me total peace of mind over the holidays. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy + caring petsitter!”

Old Town pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary K took good care of Clara on short notice! She asked questions about Clara during our meet and greet and I felt she would be a great match. Mary K kept me updated on how things were going and left the house in the same condition she found it. I'd recommend her for house sitting!
