“Teresa is absolutely amazing. We think they’re the best and so do our pups! Teresa did an excellent job caring for all 3 of our dogs, including our pupper in a wheelchair. We loved the updates and pictures from each visit and will definitely book again in the future!!”

About: We would love to welcome you to our family! We currently have four dogs and three cats who love playing in our fenced-in yard. I have always had a passion for working with and caring for animals. Growing up, I was raised around all types of animals. My family would rescue, care for, and rehabilitate sick or injured kittens and puppies. I would help clean wounds, bottle-feed young animals, and care for all the animals that came through our home. I also have experience providing emergency veterinary services to various animals. My partner also has a lot of experience taking care of animals. She has worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital and was a puppy raiser for a service dog. We offer daycare as well as overnight stays. We are comfortable providing medication to your pet and helping make them as comfortable as possible. During your pet's visit, they have the opportunity to play alongside our pets or can have a separate space for themselves. I currently work part-time on Mondays and Tuesdays but am home the rest of the week. My partner works from home, so there is always someone at home to play with and take care of your pets. We are often home all weekend unless we are taking a hike with our dogs. Our home offers a fenced-in yard for your fur babies to explore during the day and walks can be taken around the neighborhood. Our cats spend most of their time in the enclosed porch so they can be away from your pets if necessary and our two youngest dogs sleep in cages at night. We can easily provide a crate for your pet during the day or at night if requested and there is space for them to have their own space away from our pets as well.
“Dana is fantastic. I couldn’t be any happier with her care of my two dogs and the communication. She clearly knows her stuff and has a heart for animals. I will definitely use her again.”
“Excellent. Desiree is very dependable. She's also great with communication and pics and updates:) She also was really helpful recently when a large loose dog got into our yard - one of my male friends was scared of this dog but Desiree skillfully got the dog back outside our fence with no issues.”

“I recently used Kimberly from Rover to take care of my dog, and cats and overall, it was a great experience! Kimberly was very friendly and clearly loves animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which was a nice touch and helped me feel at ease while I was away. My fur babies seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned, and I appreciated the attention to detail in making sure all of my instructions were followed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’m a pet mom of six full grown cats and two dogs. i’ve had them their entire lives. I rescued one of my cats from a ditch in a parking lot. I work early mornings so that I am available afternoons and evenings any day of the week. I am often in Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham and Hillsborough. I have a fenced front and back yard so our pets just go out there to pee or poop. We feed our dogs and cats two times a day.
“Ken was amazing at taking care of the dogs! He came on time, stayed for a while, kept great notes and made sure to include pictures (which I love). I never had to worry about whether or not the dogs needed to go outside, get some love and affection, or needed to drink some water. Ken made sure everything was documented so I knew how my fur babies were doing while I wasn't there. Highly recommend and will be using his services again for sure soon!”


“Marissa came to the rescue and watched my kitten Donny when I was unexpectedly admitted the hospital this past week. I recently moved to Arlington and all of my family and close friends aren’t local, so you can imagine how anxious I was to quickly find somebody nearby to take care of my fur baby. She was very responsive, followed all of my instructions and sent lots of pics when she was with him, all of which put me at ease. I came home to a very happy cat and I know part of that is because he was in good hands while I was away. I am so grateful for Marissa’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, respectful pet sitter!”

“Ashley is always great with our two dogs, keeps us updated with photos and messages! We can’t always bring our dogs with us when we want on vacation, and for short trips this has been a great way for our dogs to stay home and be taken care of. Thank you Ashley!”

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.

I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
“Nicole is a gem. She said Chewee was a little nervous at first, but warmed up to her. She even sent a video to show her interacting with Chewee. I greatly appreciate her patience with our precious girl. We will have her over again tomorrow!”

About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.
About: Hi! I’m Cassidy, an experienced animal care professional with 5 years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, and animals of all personalities and needs. I worked as an Animal Shelter Attendant for several months and also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 4 and a half years, where I gained experience handling medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing compassionate care in fast-paced environments. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication administration, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Able to sit for your pets any weekdays/Saturday, 7 AM-8PM. Overnight is situational but can potentially be worked in! I offer walking/bathing/nail trimming/administering medications (both oral and injectable)/playtime/and of course feeding. I care for my clients’ pets with the same attention, patience, and compassion that I would give my own animals. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs of all kinds and ages. Senior and puppy/kitten pet care are part of my experience. From long walks, to fun games, to specialty foods and injury recovery, I’ve seen and done it all. Your pets will be well loved and cared for by me. Currently, I have a wide open schedule as I prepare for my next job in the next few months. I can do multiple walks a day or stay overnight with pets. I can offer caring for your pets in your own home and will utilize your resources appropriately and safely. My own home, if truly needed, is in a lovely neighborhood for nice walks, with a fenced in backyard. Currently, there are no other pets in the house.
“Rebecca is a natural with dogs and she handled our older dog and our puppy both with great love and care. She is reliable and we were able to count on her even with unexpected delays in getting home.”

Oxford cat parents share their Rover experiences
As always Alex was amazing!! I have 4 cats, 2 who are very energetic and playful and 2 who are very skittish. He’s was able to Sven, who’s very skittish, tubes AND belly rubs!!! All while entertaining the wild boys lol!! Thank you Alex for loving my babies like I do!!!

I cannot recommend Alexis enough! We have a former stray who has only recently transitioned to being an indoor cat, so she can be very shy and particular about her food. I was nervous about leaving her, but Alexis was incredible. They respected her space, handled her specific feeding routine perfectly, and made sure she was safe and happy. If you have a rescue or a timid pet, this is the sitter for you. 5 stars!

100% recommend Alexander to take care of your fur babies! His attention to detail and ability to capture the personalities of our cats in his notes was incredible and helped us enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely use him again!
