13. Andrea B.
“Andrea took care of our pup, Nibbler, while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care! Nibbler can be a bit anxious around new people, but Andrea won him over right away with her calm and gentle approach. She sent us daily updates and adorable photos of Nibbler on walks and playing with his favorite toys. When we came back, Nibbler was happy, well-exercised, and totally relaxed. It was clear he’d been in loving hands. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a pet sitter who truly cares!”


14. Haily L.

“Haily took great care our dog and house! 10/10 stars if I could. We went on Vacation for 4 days and Haily showed lots of love and care for our dog Lilly. We are thankful for her kindness and love ❤️.”


15. Olena S.

“While my husband and I were away, Olena and her daughter did a fantastic job pet-sitting our dog, Dixie. They kept us informed and gave us updates throughout the evenings, along with photos of our fur baby. We will be using their pet services again in the future. :)”

About: I have had animals all my life (fish, birds, cats, dogs, a rabbit) I currently have 1 cat and 1 American bully and a few chickens as well. The American bully, cash, goes back and forth between staying with me and my mom to so he is not always home. I recently had my second child so I am trying to be more active with working out and walking but also wouldn’t mind a lazy animal, either lol. I have never professionally taken care of animals but I would love to give it a try so here I am. I have house sat for my brother and taken care of his dogs ( a Rottweiler, and two bullies) I work M-F but I work from home so I am always around and available if needed, I can step away easily if it’s needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dog does pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old, I have had 6 dogs throughout my lifetime and each of them have had a very enjoyable and loving life. I have also pet sat for family members and family friends throughout the years. I am currently a student and a nanny, so Rover fits perfectly for the days I don’t have class or have to go into work I am a big backyard and a very friendly morkie who loves playing with others dogs. We will go on walks and play with lots of toys. I am also big on giving treats (as long as the owner is okay with that) and on giving lots of snuggles and belly rubs!


18. Lyndsey H.
“Lyndsey’s love for animals makes her a great dog sitter or dog walker. As far back as I can remember, Lyndsey has always had a dog(s). She also worked at a veterinary’s office in the grooming area for years. She is closely in tune with the pet’s behavior and understanding what an animal wants and needs is key to a great sitter/walker. I can highly recommend that you are getting a person that has lots of love for animals and will treat your animal like she would her own.”


19. Cecily R.
About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania I've been around animals my whole life, I'm new to Rover, but I've pet sitted before, and I can't wait to watch your furry babies! I'm 20 years old I just want to get out of the house doing something I know I'll love ! Cats and dogs whatever I love animals 🤣 I'm currently serving but the restaurant I work at it closing down. I'm looking for work, I'm completely open anytime any day. I can be available whenever I have pets and roommates at my home which is why I cannot do boarding at the moment, but I always keep the clients home clean, follow any instructions the client gives me. I feed & water them. Walk them and/or make sure they go potty. Every dog and situation is different so I like to clarify what the client wants. Keeping my clients pets and home safe & happy is the most important thing to me! Know that your babies are in good hands


20. Tanya D.
About: There has never been an animal that I didn’t treat as my own! They are the most deserving of love and admiration because of their loyalty! I work for Craven County Monday-Friday 730-530 but I am willing to help out your fur babies before or after work, even on lunch if it’s close enough to Neuse Blvd in New Bern. What better way than to spend them with furrbabies!y I will always tend to your babies as they were my own. Your rules will always apply! I follow direction well and respect the rules as they are administered.
