“Corey was absolutely amazing! He took great care of my golden retriever puppy, Buzz. I received daily updates and photos of buzz loving life at Uncle Corey’s house! 10/10, Buzz will be a regular customer!”


“Tivo had an amazing stay with Caroline and Honey. She had in info form to fill out ahead of time and we did a meet and greet with the dogs, so I felt super comfortable leaving Tivo with her. Caroline is so professional and easy to work with, and it’s very clear she is dedicated to taking great care of the pets she watches. She even made a paw print Christmas ornament with Tivo since she was watching him over the holidays. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”


“Simply put, Kristien was phenomenal. She met and exceeded any expectations I had with using Rover—this was my first time—and I highly recommend her services. My special little doggo Bebop stayed with her for 11 days and she took fantastic care of him. From the start, Kristien was thoughtful and responsive. She clearly has a kind heart and bonds closely with dogs. She has their best interests in mind and gives them attention at all times. I had a number of small but esoteric requests and needs, and she accommodated every single one without any complaints or problems. She ended up having an additional dog in the house during Bebop's stay, but she was open and up front about it from the beginning, again offering to accommodate by not having the other dog there if that's what Bebop needed. Also, she allowed me to come meet her and the family before leaving Bebop with her—this was extra work for her, but it gave me great comfort to see her around my special guy before leaving him for 11 days, and to know that Bebop had a chance to meet the temporary foster parents before being left with them. Kristien makes this her top priority and it shows, from the daily pictures and regular correspondence to her professionalism and genuine bond with animals. This was a great first experience for me with Rover, and I will definitely seek her out again in the future whenever the need arises. Thank you Kristien!”



“Dawnyea was fantastic with my older dog!! She sent frequent updates & it was clear to see my dog was comfortable around her, I would definitely recommend booking with her!”


“I had to fly out of town for work for a week, Kyra was great with Gizmo, kept me up to date with everything with him, sent me pics and a video. They also reassured Gizmo was in good hands as they have breeded and cared for pups before. Overall it was a great 1st time experience and I would definitely use them again if I need to go out of town again. THANK YOU FROM GIZMO AND I💓”


“Zulma is extremely friendly and trustworthy. My dog Luna had a great time and came back happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Zulma, she is quick with responding, spoiled my sweet elder dog and Zulma was able to watch Luna on short notice. I appreciate her and her sweet husband so much for taking care of Luna so well.”


“Grace was the best dog sitter I could have asked for!! She’s going to be the only person I ask to watch Freddie in Raleigh from now on. He is fairly anxious and it seemed like he had a great time going on walks (or being carried…) and playing with Grace’s two dogs. She was also super flexible when my flight got delayed coming home and sent plenty of pics while I was gone.”


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.

“Chantal went above and beyond taking care of my very nervous and anxious, sweet dog. Built her a little safe space to keep her calm. Sent pics and videos so I could see how well she was doing. I couldn’t give Chantal a higher recommendation. She’s the best!”


“Mariel & Teresa did a fantastic job watching my dog, Oakley, while my husband were gone for a longer trip overseas. Being gone for a longer period of time can make a pet owner anxious, but they were so helpful and took such great care of Oakley we had nothing to be worried about. From lots of pictures and videos, to consistent updates and honest feedback, they were great at making sure we were getting all the information about him while we were gone, and he definitely had a wonderful time with them!”


About: My beloved furry friend is Ellie, a Jack Russell Terrier that is 14 years old. Ellie has been part of my family since she was just a few months old. I have experience with puppies and full size dogs with high-energy that are active and strong. I moved down to Raleigh recently and my dog currently lives with my parents. Where I currently live there are no pets or kids present. Before I moved I regularly cared for three large huskies (one was less then a year old) and a 4-year-old cocker spaniel. I am a caring, active, and responsible dog owner that will treat your pet(s) the same way. Responsibilities I believe are essential when it comes to taking care of a pet are providing them with routine walks and giving them plenty opportunity to regularly use the bathroom outside. As well as, providing them with a food schedule, play time, treats and daily clean water. I am an active person that enjoys running outside, so if you have an energetic dog I will gladly run with them! I live in a dog friendly community with plenty of room for walking and playing. I am currently working part-time and have availability during the week and weekends to care for your furry friend. I look forward to caring for your pet! My apartment complex is pet friendly and has plenty of greenery! During our outside walks and playtime I will ensure your pet receives shade and bathroom breaks.

“I had a great experience with Austin & Morgan! This was my first time using Rover, and they made me feel super comfortable from the start with a meet & greet, & answering all of my questions. They were very communicative, friendly, & have a beautiful home with a great fenced backyard. They sent photos & updates throughout my dog's stay, and I know my dog Henry was well cared for while I was gone. I would 100% book with them again!”



“Laura is awesome!! This was my first time using Rover and she made my older dog, Cooper, feel so comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Laura is extremely communicative and sends frequent updates. We did a meet and greet beforehand which was very easy to organize, and Laura is great about carefully following any instructions regarding feeding, etc. Cooper got along so well with her dog and the other dog she was watching, the photo updates were adorable. Cooper loves relaxing on the couch and sleeping on beds, so I really appreciate how she allows dogs on furniture. Made him feel super at home! Laura is so great about frequent potty breaks and she has a super nice fenced in yard. Will definitely request stays with Laura in the future!!”


“Kayla was a great communicator and you could see she cared about our dog, Amos and wanted to ensure the visit went smoothly. We met before the visit to confirm our dogs would get along. All went great and I would definitely recommend her!”


“Molly did wonderful! So happy for her to be available for a last minute cancellation from someone else for a week long trip - the day before! She was accommodating for drop off and pickup. Sent plenty of pictures and updates. Overall wonderful experience. Thank you again!”
