“Kristien did amazing with my boys!! I re river many photos of my happy boys! Could not have been more grateful as I moved into my new house without having to worry about the dogs.”



“Karisa was amazing with our 5 month old lab. He adjusted perfectly fine and she sent updates and pictures. Will absolutely be coming to Karisa again in the near future. Thank you!!”


“Lyna always enjoys her stay with Meghan and Wesley. She looks forward to it when we pull into the driveway, and seems to have had a great time when we pick her up. We are fairly picky Rover users and will definitely continue using Meghan’s services!”


“She made Annie feel right at home and she was excited to go the next time. Well definitely consider Mary Molly the next time we need daycare!”


About: I have cared for dogs for the past 9 years from all walks of life. From dogs that are at the end of their life stage and need a little extra TLC to young bloods that need to be taken out for nice long walks to be tuckered out. I have cared for fish, guinea pigs, chicks and fully grown chickens I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of spare free time to give each pet that care they deserve! I have reliable transportation so that will also not be an issue I can care for pets in my home or the owners home. There are parks near where I live and I have a back yard that would allow the dogs to feel at home. I can also care in their own respective location with walks around the neighborhood, feeding, checking to ensure the water bowl is full and picking up after the pet.

“Sloane was great with spade . This was our first time leaving him with someone and I feel we picked the right person for the job . Times changed last minute and she was able to accommodate with no problem . Will definitely use her again !!”


“Austin and Morgan took Scooby for daycare and in every photo, he was smiling! Prompt response and updates were so nice to have. Highly recommend!”


“Gonzo left exhausted and and a great time!”



About: **Please note, I cannot accept super high energy or anxious dogs and like to keep a playful, but stress free environment for all the pups :) Dogs must be fully potty trained in other peoples homes and be dog friendly to other dogs. I have been pet-sitting, dog training and volunteering for various animal organizations for over 25 years allowing me to be very “In tune” with dogs and their needs. Your pup will have full-time one-on-one care and we provide a safe and fun place for your pups while you are at work or on vacation . I send photos and updates daily so you can know exactly how they are doing. I take as many walks as the pups need and do not watch more than 2 dogs (That makes 3 with my girl) so your dog will always have personal care in a fun and stress-free environment! Feel free to contact me for a meet and greet! =) ********IMPORTANT NOTES!!*********** **Due to proximity of neighbors and that I have client calls, we cannot have dogs that continuously bark out of respect for my neighbors. I work from home and your dog will have lots of full time care and cuddles. I do not take more than 2 dogs at once so your dog will have lots of personal attention. Drop off and pick up times are from 7:00 am - 9pm. We have a fenced in back yard and also live waking distance to a quiet greenway entrance for lots of sunny walks in nature for exercise if needed.

“Nickie was a delight and our pup took right to her. She always greeted us with a smile and was great about sending us pics and even took him to the dog park on multiple occassions. Highly recommended.”


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: I grew up with labs and retrievers but now live alone with my 2 cats (who are pretty much used to dogs, but still wary of them). I watch peoples dogs and foster with Saving Grace when I can so have experience with a wide range of dogs. I am an engineer but am taking time off from that job. One favorite thing to do with a dog I watch is taking them to my buildings dog walk and playing fetch! I have a large dog crate if that is better for sitting/boarding but only if that is part of their normal routine. Pets are allowed on the furniture (also if normal) and since I have pets already, I have extra water around the apartment. Since I’m used to hosting dogs, I’m good at “cat proofing” the apartment and my unit has a good layout to separate the cats and the visiting pet if needed. I choose how to take out any dog based on their personality: dog walk in my apartment building, walks, local dog park, hikes, etc.

“Julie was so sweet and caring to not only Lily but me as well. She’s really great with communication, sending multiple updates throughout the day and answering very quickly. I know Lily was well taken care of. Thank you Julie :)”


About: I have owned dogs with special needs ranging from anxiety to illness, and I am comfortable handling these situations. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where my primary job is to care for dogs of all ages and abilities, so your pet will be in good hands. I do not currently own my own dog, so your pup will receive undivided love and attention! I work a fully remote job on weekdays, and am usually available evenings and weekends. My schedule is flexible, and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet as much as possible! For any pets staying in my home, I live in an apartment building with many parks close by — so, your dog will receive the perfect combination of active playtime and cozy snuggles. For pets staying in your home, I can accommodate to your routine!

“Cody had a fabulous time. Thank you!”


About: I love going for long walks and runs with dogs. I am also very happy to just sit and be a companion to any dog! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am able to do multiple walks in a day, as well as, overnight care for dogs. I make sure that I follow the pet owners directions closely so that the dog is taken care of in the way the owner wants and so the dog is happy as well!

About: I work from home in Raleigh and am available all day to hang out with and love on your pups/kitties! They are the best coworkers! I don’t currently have any pets of my own but have taken good care of many furry friends of our friends and family and love having them around. My husband goes to work Monday-Friday but gets the pups so excited when he comes home and joins in the playtime! We live in a very walkable neighborhood that is extremely convenient to many parks and dog parks. I have very flexible availability and plenty of time to provide attention throughout the day :) I work full time from home so I am always around to care for your pets. I don’t have any pets (or kids!) of my own to take care of at the moment so have lots of love for any furry visitors! I can go on several short walks during the workday, and nights and weekends are available for long walks and adventures! We have a smaller home with lots of cozy nooks and crannies for your pets to snuggle up in. The guest room is always open with plenty of space for crates and other pet supplies to be stored, or for them to have a space to themselves! We have a small private yard area right outside as well as a shared yard area. There are also many great parks and dog parks within walking distance, and a lovely neighborhood for going for walks!

“Juan was an absolute lifesaver for us during a tricky trip situation and we needed last minute pet care. He is so kind and it is apparent that he adores dogs. We would 100% ask him to watch our pup again.”


About: I have years of experience dealing with pets. I owned four pit bulls until their passing. Then, I owned four more for 2 years. I have pet sat for friends and family for 5 years. I had the luxury of pet sitting a raccoon and opossums. I currently own a 4-month-old toy poodle. I am in school, so I am available full-time because school is online right now. I prefer overnight appointments but anytime works. I'm usually home all day. IMPORTANT: For my safety, pick-ups and drop-offs should be before 6 pm. Pick-ups after 6 pm will incur a $20 fee. There is a big backyard for playing. I bring my poodle to the park for a jog in the mornings. I live by a big park for dogs as well.

“Harmony did an outstanding job watching our 2 Siberian Husky’s. She watched them for 3 days and sent many updates and pictures (we loved this!) We have a picky eater and she took the time to feed her out of her hands. My boyfriend and I felt so comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. If we need care again, we will definitely book with Harmony again. I would recommend her to anyone!”
