“Susie was incredible. Despite scheduling very early Susie was able to accommodate a quick meet and greet as well as follow up to walk through everything at the house. We checked in several times to make sure everything was going well and the girls were happy. It’s so comforting knowing we can turn to her again when we need someone to look after the girls and take care of our home.”

“Noelle is an amazing sitter! She sat for our dog when he was sick and kept us updated and went out of her way to make sure he was taken care of. She keeps us updated with pictures and info every day and makes traveling easy when you know your pets are treated well. Definitely the best Rover sitter we have had.”

“Hannah is so sweet, attentive and accommodating with us and my boys. She goes out of her way to care for them and is so appreciated. I highly recommend her for any pet cares you may have.”

“Kat took amazing care of our pups this weekend! She was great with checking in and sending lots of pictures of them throughout the day. I know they were taken care of and would definitely recommend her!”
“We have had Christina watch her dogs in our home a few times now. She is great with communication and sends us pictures to keep us updated. She is very reliable and we trust her in our home. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Having trained my own puppy and cared for dogs up to 15 years old, I’m comfortable with all ages and needs. As a recent UNC Chapel Hill grad, I have plenty of time this summer for long walks, playtime, and making your dog feel safe, loved, and at home. With my flexible summer schedule after graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, I have plenty of time each day for walks, playtime, and attentive care. Spending time with dogs is something I love, so I make it a natural part of my routine! I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent with regular feeding, walks, and playtime. I create a safe, loving environment and make sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need, while adjusting to their individual personality and energy level.

“Alexandria was a wonderful sitter for our Noodle! We felt very comfortable having her in our home with Noodle and we were able to truly enjoy our daughter’s wedding in Mexico! Alex is such a sweet, kind and caring sitter! I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!!”

“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.”

Old Town pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are so grateful for Eleanor! Not only did she help us out with a very last minute booking when our other sitter fell through but we came home to two very happy dogs at the end of the weekend. We received plenty of pictures of them having a great time and getting love. We appreciate her and will definitely book with her again this summer!

Christina and Jeremy took great care with our dogs, With excellent communication and Insight. They ask Good questions to make sure they are doing exactly What you need. They send Pictures of the dogs To update us which is reassuring. They also took care of our home, washing the sheets and towels And Leaving it tidy and Neat. We had many new plantings that needed daily watering and they did This with great care which was so Helpful and Reassuring. Would highly recommend.

Repeat Rover-user here! Cassidy went above and beyond while watching our pets. Her communication was amazing. She sent consistent updates, photos, and checked in anytime something needed clarification. We have a Rottweiler and a Chihuahua as well as two cats. Our Chihuahua is a little shy and takes time to warm up, and she handled that with the utmost patience and calm energy until she was able to get comfortable and warm up which she did! She handled walks, feedings, cleaning up accidents, and even helped take care of our cats and fish without being asked. She was respectful of our home and literally treated our animals like her own. We felt completely at ease while we were away because of the level of care and attention she gave. 5/5 and 10/10 would absolutely book with her again!
