“Very reliable and super great to work with. She came exactly when agreed upon, followed directions, and gave our dog and cat lots of love while we were away. Would highly recommend Amanda!”

“Olivia was amazing! She took great care of our puppy and he loved playing with her. Olivia was always on time and was very flexible. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. We will definitely book her again for our puppy. Highly recommend Olivia, she is just awesome!”


“Rodrigo is a caring animal owner himself. He shows much love for all animals. Rodrigo is very reliable and trust worthy. He has come into our lives at the most needed time. We have already rebooked him! Our rescue baby girl loves him! She is an American pitbull terrier who doesn’t like all, but Rodrigo stole her heart!”


About: I am a lifelong dog, owner and lover, currently with a 14 year-old senior girl named Mildred. I love to go on walks with dogs, or can simply pop over for a feeding or some playtime. I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. Whether it’s early morning feeding, or a late afternoon walk, I am happy to assist! I will treat your home and pets as if is my own. I am a lifelong animal lover and advocate, and would love to meet your four legged baby.

“This was our first time using drop in at home services and we could not be more impressed. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl and home in Megan's hands - she had great communication, was super friendly, and we loved getting to see pictures of their adventures. 10/10 would recommend- thank you, Megan!”


“Anna really is a lifesaver! She was able to check on my cat a few hours earlier than we scheduled due to my worrying that my front door was potentially opened. The absolute best and sweetest!!”


“Brittany is great! She does regular drop ins during the day with my crazy puppy. He’s much calmer when I get home the days that she’s been there. She’s very clear in her communication, sends great pictures and it’s clear my pup loves her.”


“Pascale did an amazing job. Lala was taken care of while I was away and she met a new friend that she could play with. Thank you again for your help and amazing availability! ✨❤️”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly something I love. From dogs and puppies to senior pets with special needs, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight stays and medication management. I currently have a young Doberman, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s routine, energy levels, and emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I bring a responsible, loving approach to every animal I care for. I have a flexible schedule and a comfortable home in Raleigh where pets can feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I work from home, so I’m available almost around the clock to care for your pet’s needs. Your dog will also enjoy supervised playtime in my fenced backyard, giving them a safe and fun space to get their energy out! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly home in Raleigh with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel secure. My home is fully dog-proofed, and I supervise all pets closely especially during feedings, playtime, and outdoor breaks. With over 10 years of pet care experience, I know how to read body language, manage energy levels, and create a calm environment where every pet feels at ease. I treat each animal like family and follow your care instructions closely to maintain consistency and build trust with your pet. Whether it’s giving extra attention to shy dogs or ensuring high-energy pups get the exercise they need, I’m committed to making sure your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands at all times.

“This was the first time Katherine walked my dog. I was out-of-town and I could tell by the photos he was relaxed and happy. I am very pleased with Katherine and recommend her services without reservation.”


“Isabel continues to exceed my expectations with how responsible, caring, and communicative she is. Her genuine enjoyment of my cats and the time she spends playing with them is fantastic for their mental and emotional well-being, which is obvious when I return and they are in such good spirits. She is extremely respectful of my space, responsible, and a fantastic communicator. An easy 5/5 for me.”


“Banjo is a little hesitant when meeting new people, but Ashley agreed to a meet and greet and it went great! She updated me with pictures during her walk and let me know that things went well!”


About: I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, snakes, and even a tarantula while growing up, but canine companionship has been a constant throughout my life. I have watched many pets for friends and family throughout high school, college, and into my adult years. I’ve used Rover and other sitters before and know what it’s like to search for the perfect person to entrust you fur-babies with. I’ve had both great and not-so-great experiences in the past with sitters watching my dog, which is why I decided to join Rover myself so I could give other pets and pet-parents the best experiences! I have one extremely friendly pup and I work from home with a lot of flexibility, so I am available for any and all of your pets needs and attention while they are with me. You can expect lots of pictures, videos, and lightning-fast replies! I work from home with a very flexible schedule that allows me to get up and take the dogs for a walk or play at anytime. I can accommodate any pet care routine needed. I have a fenced yard and a super friendly King Charles Cavalier boy, neutered. Pets are allowed on the couch and the bed in this home 😌

About: Hello! My name is Marianna and I love dogs. My family has always had dogs, big and small, so I grew up with them and taking care of them is like second nature to me. I have a small pup of my own who loves playing, following his nose, and getting his zoomies out. I’m self-employed and have tons of flexibility in my days! Let me know what you need and I can likely accommodate. Mornings, afternoons, evenings are all flexible. Safety is the TOP priority. From making sure no escape artists escape to ensuring safety on walks, I always keep a close eye on the pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard. My pupper loves playing with other dogs and will definitely keep your dog entertained!


“I was a little skeptical as this was y first time using Rover however Ellen was great! Super communicative, my pups loved her and she eased my mind sending plenty of pics! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”



“Diana was great, and offered to stop by for a meet and greet even with short notice. She was great with my cat, who can be a bit feisty at times! I would strongly recommend!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them when I was just 4 years old, after adopting my dog Deco. Over the years, my family has had dogs, cats, mice, fish, chickens, and bunnies, and I’ve helped care for all of them. I cared for Deco, my lifelong best friend, for 15 wonderful years until his recent passing, and I truly miss the companionship and joy that comes from caring for animals. That’s why I’m signing up for Rover. I want to spend my free time doing what I love most: taking care of animals. I’m currently studying Zoology in college and have volunteered at my local SPCA for the past 7 years. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and needs, including senior pets and those requiring extra patience and care. I also interned at an aquarium, where I helped care for jellyfish, sharks, and otters. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of animal health, enrichment, and daily care routines. What makes me different from other sitters is my strong background in animal science, hands-on experience, and lifelong dedication to animal welfare. I take a gentle and attentive approach with every animal I meet and always focus on making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Animals are not just my passion. They are my life and my future career. I would be honored to care for your pets like they are part of my own family. As a college student with a fairly light course load this semester, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Most of my classes are in the mornings or grouped on just a few days a week, which leaves me plenty of time during the day to check on pets, go for walks, or stay for extended visits. I also have most weekends free, which makes me available for weekend care, overnights, or last-minute bookings. I’m very organized and always make pet care a top priority in my routine. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits naturally into my daily life. I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs and routine whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. When I stay at the client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully from feeding schedules to exercise and medication. I make sure to keep your pets comfortable and stress free in their own environment. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and gentle companionship to help them feel safe and happy. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and secure space with plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and regular exercise tailored to each pet’s energy level. I keep a consistent routine to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed. Either way, I prioritize safety, hygiene, and lots of love to ensure your pets get the best care possible.

“Cayla is the best! She even noticed my cat was out of food and filled her feeder while taking care of Daisy 🌼! Thank you so much for spending time with our special pup this week after she had her eye removed! 💕”
