“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”
About: I have always loved dogs. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. When dog sitting I mostly just do walks but can also play catch or frisbee with your dog if they enjoy that. I am available most days from 7am-11pm to walk your dog. I am very trustworthy, honest and reliable and will keep your dog in the best care possible. I live in Raleigh, NC and look forward to meeting you and your dog. I’m sure we’ll have fun during our time together :) *If you’re dog requires special diet, medications, or care I’m comfortable with whatever they need to be happy! Thanks, Brendan I work from home so would be happy to take care of your pet whenever is needed. Anytime 7am-11pm would be alright for me. Hopefully that sounds good to you! I live in an apartment complex. I’m walkable to several great parks nearby and would be happy to spend some time there with your dog :)
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sophia! She helped me out last minute, was quick to respond, and treated my dog Tiko like her own. He came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Communication is great. Highly recommend!!”
“Ellen was amazing!! She helped me out taking care of my dog when I requested last minute. He came back as happy as could be and most importantly all tuckered out 😂 will definitely be booking a walk with her again”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have done pet training which included house training, basic commands (i.e. sit, stay, come), and tricks (i.e. roll over, play dead, circle, beg). My mom was a dog handler and I’ve been lucky to have learned how to handle various unique training or walking routines. I have also watched cats for extended periods of time as well as having 2 in my home previously. I recently adopted a Siberian cat that’s dog and cat friendly as well. From playing, to cuddling, to watching birds out the window together, to bathing (willing and unwilling), I’ve done it all. If your cat is lead friendly, I can also take them on walks. I can bath, feed, train, and exercise most all dogs. I am a quick and independent learner with a passion for working with animals. I’m available to stay over weekdays and weekends so long as my schedule is available. My job will be requiring me to be in office throughout the week for the next few months, however location depending, I can provide midday potty breaks during my “lunch” hour. I’m more of a night owl than early riser, but I can accommodate most routines for your pet so long as it’s not earlier than 7AM. Since I frequently travel locally for work, I apologize for not being able to always accommodate bookings with under 2 weeks notice. I currently have 1 Siberian female cat that is dog and cat friendly, and well socialized to children and people. My home has hardwood downstairs and carpet upstairs. I live in a neighborhood with amble green space for walks and fetch for off leash dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard.
“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”
“This was the 3rd (or 4th?) Time we've booked with Nicole. She's always easy to work with, timely, and send lots of pictures. She's always our first choice!”
“Highly recommended!! She was great with my cat and dog and had great communication. I felt at ease having her come visit with my pets. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of large breed dogs for the past 6 years. Additionally I have experience administering oral medication to dogs. Making sure that animals are completely comfortable in every interaction is my goal. I’m currently working part time for about 14 hours a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I also have a form of reliable transportation for making house calls. I will follow any instructions set out by you. My goal is to take care of your pet as if they’re my own and I strive to make sure they feel loved and cared for in every interaction.
About: I love animals and do not desire to have children of my own for the next few years but in the meantime have a lot of love that needs to go towards your 🐕 I currently have flexible availability, I am available short term or long term. Flexible doggy lover who just wants to play fetch. Let me take care of your doggy while you have some much deserved down time! I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them as much attention as I can. I will take your dog out on walks and to the yard to play and run & make some memories! I love sending pet photos while you are away so you can rest assured.
About: I've taken care of my family pets since I was 10 and continue to care for a beautiful and chatty cat. I strive to care for your pet with just as much love and attention as you would give your fur baby. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility for time away and breaks when needed. I can be available most times during the weekend & have availability weekends as needed. I will treat your pets like they are my own: showering them with love and cuddles. I will be very attentive and ensure that any requirements you ask are followed through. I strive to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
“Rodrigo was very professional and communicative before and during the booking and made sure to answer any questions I had. The boys seemed to have a good time hanging out with him!”
“Natalie always treats my boys as they are her own pets!! She has been walking our dogs for about a year now and I'm so thankful to know they get the best of care when she takes care of them!!!”
About: Let’s start with safety comes 1st!! That’s something that I value highly of, especially when it comes to your pup. I’m someone who’s really understanding & patient when it comes to animals of all kinds, it’s also important to be very loving too!! That’s key, especially when building a brand new bond with a person & even their pet. Well my family has a 1 & 1/2 year old pup!!! So we have a full understanding of what it takes to make time for your animal & fit them into your daily schedule. The way I care for pets whether it’s in my home or a client’s home is by giving plenty of affection & attention to the pet that I am with! When you provide that kind of love & gentleness it can help an animal feel at home no matter where they may be🤍
About: I have over 10 years of experience raising and caring for dogs of all age. I have experience caring for my aging childhood dog including experience with giving medications and handling medical episodes including seizures. I also have experience caring for and raising puppies and more energetic dogs who are always in need of burning off some energy. I love to care on dogs and make sure they are cared for like they are my own! I currently work hybrid full time. Three days in office and two at home, including alternating Fridays off. I am available during lunch hours and early in the afternoon to late at night. I have my own fur baby that I have been raising since she was just 2 months old. I am comfortable caring for your dog no matter the age or medical status!
“Kaelin was very communicative and willing to hear all about our girls quirks and behaviors and was patient in hearing their vocal welcomes whenever she stopped by to let them out for us. Appreciate her flexibility and communication. Recommend her services!”

Raleigh dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dogs adore Chase! Somehow, they always know when he's coming and they wait at the door for him, then push me out of the way to greet him when he arrives. He always shows up on time, lets me know when he is on his way, and is extremely personable and kind to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a dog walker!
Megan always does a wonderful job walking Cooper when I’m at work! She is very communicative and provides an update about each visit and photos from the walk and/or playtime. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her when needed - today, she arrived to find that Cooper had gotten into the trash and littered it all over the downstairs. Without complaint or me having to ask her, she cleaned all the trash up while I was gone and then let me know what had taken place. This is just another one of many reasons I would highly recommend Megan if you’re ever in need of her services!
Sophia has taken excellent care of my dog! She is reliable, prompt, personable, responsible and kind. She follows all of my care instructions to the letter and consistently performs at a very high level. I would not hesitate to work with Sophia and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker or sitter.
I cannot say enough good things about how great it has been having Katy walk Ned following my surgery. It really helped keep Ned happy and eased my mind that he was taken care of until I could handle walks again. Ned loves her and would sit by the door waiting for her to arrive. I will definitely use Katy again in the future!
Elias is one of the best! He takes care of Clément by giving him extra love, following directions on taking care of him, keeping me updated throughout the day, sending photos and videos, and playing with him. He is such a nice and caring person, and people should book him with hesitation! 100% recommended!!!
