I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Communication & Updates – I know how much you want to know that your fur babies are doing well while you’re away! I provide regular updates, photos, and anything else that helps you feel connected and reassured. 🐾📸 Most importantly, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to accommodate my clients’ needs. My work-from-home days can be adjusted when needed, allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority.

“Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Jaymie is a wonderful young lady. She is 100% reliable, on time and our Goldendoodle Emma loves her as does my husband as well as myself. She not only fulfils what was promised as a dog walker but goes beyond time wise of the walk and extras.”
“Isabel was great with my senior pup, she was patient and followed care instructions well. She’s prompt and very responsive. I’d be happy to have her take care of Parker anytime!”

“Susan and her husband helped walk my puppy on a short notice while I was away. She provided lots of photos and thoughtful updates. She seemed to enjoy spending time with him as well. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her for others!!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, and playtime for pets of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with their pets while they were traveling, so I understand how important it is to keep animals comfortable and happy. I’m patient with shy pets and enjoy spending time outdoors with active dogs. Your furry friend will be safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m available most mornings from 8:15–10am and after 4pm on weekdays, as well as on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs for walks, visits, or sitting. I create a calm and safe environment for pets, following their routines and your instructions closely. I can visit your home, provide feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure your pets feel happy and loved while you’re away
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I have pet sat for many friends and neighbors over the years. I have kennel experience and I also have 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I will provide exceptional care including walks, feedings, play time, and potty breaks. I’m a college volleyball player in Connecticut. I have some free time during the week between classes and practices. I’m pretty free on the weekends which are my off days. I will love and care for your animals as if they are my own. I will make sure you get the best pet care and all your animals needs are taken care of.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
About: I have had experience owning dogs all my life, but I have also worked with and fostered shelter dogs over the past 12 years. I've spent a lot of time with larger dogs, but love being with any and all breeds! I live in a home with a fenced backyard and front yard, which makes playtime and potty breaks a breeze! Plus, I usually work from home and my office is less than 10 minutes away when I do go in for a few hours. I have a 6-year old pittie mix named Rosie who loves playing with other dogs, and now in her adult years, loves napping on the couch with them, too. In general, I work from home. Even on days when I go into the office, it's usually only for a few hours. That means that on most days, Rosie (and whatever other dog is here) get lots of time going between the backyard and the rest of the house, a walk or two, and maybe a trip to the dog park. My front and back yards are fenced, which makes playtime easy. I have large airline crate and smaller wire crate if visiting dogs prefer to be in there (or can't be trusted to be out and about) while I'm gone.
About: I stand out with personalized attention, a deep love for animals, & flexible care tailored to your dogs needs. I prioritize your pets happiness, safety, & comfort, treating them like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I have the flexibility & time to provide undivided attention. Being a part time worker allows me to dedicate my energy to caring for pets, ensuring they feel loved & well-attended throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home I create a safe, clean, & welcoming environment tailored to their needs. When carrying for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the pets established routines, keep the home clean, & provide regular updates to reassure the owner.
About: I’ve had and taken care of pets (mainly dogs) my entire life. While living in NY for the last 23 years, we were always the first people our friends called to watch their pets. I’m a broadway actor so when I’m between gigs, i can’t think of a better way of spending my time than taking care of your 4 legged kids. I know when we are away..knowing our lab mix pup RUDY is safe and taken care of is the biggest relief in the world. You’ll get that same relief from me in spades. Cheers -j When i am between acting gigs, my free time is endless. So pet care as part of my daily/weekly routine is beyond easy. And i happen to enjoy it I always alert owners when I’m arriving and when I’m in their home. I treat their pets as if they are my own. Follow whatever rules they have set and make sure the pets feel loved and safe with me.
“Excellent job! booked for an entire month out and never had any issues, provided plenty of updates and photo each walk! I always felt my dog was safe and well cared for while I was at work”
About: I’ve been taking care of pups of all sizes, ages, and types for 10 years. I’m committed to your doggo’s health and happiness! I’m happy to drop in for potty breaks, take walks (short or long), feed, or just hang out with your pup :) I work as a full-time nurse, which includes three 12-hour shifts a week. Otherwise, I’m available! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off for your needs! I currently have no pets of my own, yet miss having furbabies to love! I’m committed to loving your pup like they are my own :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
We’ve had such a wonderful experience! Jasmine has been incredibly patient and kind with my shy dogs, allowing them to warm up to her at their own pace. It has been so sweet to watch them build a bond with her, and I truly appreciate how caring and gentle she is with them. Highly recommend!
Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!
Stacie was absolutely amazing. My pup can be a handful to say the least and I never had a worry when she was with Stacie. Additionally I run on chaos and when an issue would pop up Stacie was quick to adapt. I will definitely be reaching out to Stacie in the future!
Katie has been the best dog walker for our dog, Otis! She is reliable, friendly and trustworthy. He is always excited to see her and comes back from his walks happy and significantly calmer. Our toddler loves her too 😊. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking or sitting!
Susan was great with our fear reactive pitty. Sweet Pea instantly warmed up to her and there seemed to be no problems. She also went above the call of duty and brought in my packages, including two very heavy boxes of litter. If I need any dog walking/sitting services in the feature Susan will be my first choice.
