“Matthew took excellent care of our dogs and home. He was reliable, communicative, thoughtful and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure we returned to happy dogs and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!”

“Kristin was the best pet sitter for my German Shepherd dogs!!!! Everything went ever so smoothly even though my boys are young and somewhat hardheaded!! Thank you soooo much Kristin!!! Will definitely book you again!!! Duncan and Bear said they miss you!!! 🥰”

“This was our initial time using Rover. We are very particular with our fur babies. Kristina was very welcoming and assuring. We had a meet and greet with just her and then with our girls. I left having every confidence in her ability. We were gone for a week and she sent daily photos and updates. She treated our girls like her own. We will definitively be using her services again, and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”

“Kat was so AMAZING! She even went back after her time was up when our flight got delayed to make sure our pups were cared for and exercised. I cannot say enough good things about her care, attentiveness, and communication. She is someone we will use again (and often).”

“Bridget was so fantastic with our boys! They took to her immediately, and I knew we had picked someone that truly loved animals. She sent us daily pictures, which we loved! She took excellent care of our house while staying with our fur babies. We just hope she will be available again next year for our summer vacation!!”

“Caleigh was absolutely wonderful with our three animals. One of them is older and requires extra care and medication, and she handled everything with so much patience and attention. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats pets like her own. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”
“Wow Marissa was such a great Pet Sitter for my 3 dogs. She is very calm and easy going. She walked all 3 of our dogs when weather permitted and was fine with our 2 Vizslas wanting to cuddle with her. My older dog has separation anxiety and did really well. Marissa is amazing. She will definitely be my No. 1 choice for a Pet Sitter in the future.”

About: Pets have always been a part of my life. I was raised with multiple cats and dogs, and from an early age developed a strong love and knowledge of caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and have applied for this position because I truly understand the struggle of having to leave and find someone trustworthy to care for them while I am away. From puppies and kittens, to senior pets, I will provide your pet with the same love and attention that I would wish for my own. I currently work full-time as an Instructional Specialist. I am free in the evenings and on weekends with the exception of holidays and Summer break. I am free Monday-Sunday during summer months and holiday breaks. We have a large yard for walking and a clean and quiet home for your pet to relax. I have no children except for my own two pups. I will take care of your pet as I would take care of my own.
“Danielle is simply the best! She took amazing care of our dogs, Charlie and Macy. The initial meet and greet was a great way to start, and we loved the regular photo updates while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a spotless home. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Reba is great! Kept us in the loop with beautiful photos of our furry family, reached out when she had questions about everyone's routines, and took super care of everyone! We came back to relaxed and happy pets!”

“Another great stay for our pups with Lauren! We came back to happy, well cared for dogs. She did a great job keeping us updated and our anxious pup even ate with Lauren while we were gone, which speaks volumes of how comfortable Lauren helped her feel. Would recommend to anyone.”

About: I have always loved animals. I very much care about their comfort and wellbeing. I’m also always ready for a good puppy or kitty cuddle! I have a pretty open schedule usually. I just need a heads up in advance. For drop ins I usually prefer afternoons, but it’s interchangeable. I can stay with your dog for most of the day usually, if needed. I’d also be happy to feed, play with, and walk them.
About: Having trained my own puppy and cared for dogs up to 15 years old, I’m comfortable with all ages and needs. As a recent UNC Chapel Hill grad, I have plenty of time this summer for long walks, playtime, and making your dog feel safe, loved, and at home. With my flexible summer schedule after graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, I have plenty of time each day for walks, playtime, and attentive care. Spending time with dogs is something I love, so I make it a natural part of my routine! I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent with regular feeding, walks, and playtime. I create a safe, loving environment and make sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need, while adjusting to their individual personality and energy level.

About: Hi there! I have multiple years of experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I would love to get to know your four legged friend! I’m a recent college graduate with a very flexible part time job, so I have a lot of freedom to care for your pets during the day or over night. I am very flexible and will do what your pet is most used to. I will make sure your pet is walked, fed, hydrated and enriched while we are hanging out!
About: I grew up taking care of all different breeds of dogs, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I started out caring for my own, then I started caring for my family’s and friend’s pets too. My experience ranges from caring for puppies and senior dogs. I had a 14 year old lab that I had to provide senior care on, from feeding by hand, cleaning her up, and administering medicine. I am working full time at the moment but am more than excited to spend my days off with your fur babies! As of right now I am available most weekends, and nights. I care for my dogs by letting them run around during the day, I have a huge yard with plenty of space. At night my dogs like to sleep in their crate.
About: I always grew up around animals, mainly cats and dogs. I have never come across one I would not meet with open arms to give them the care they deserve I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. I am able to travel to meet any needs you may need as well as welcome into my home. Pet care is a daily routine for me in my home so it comes very natural. I have three very friendly cats as well as a small dog (8 pounds), all are house trained and have been introduced to dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and get along perfectly. we have a large yard with a very open neighborhood to take walks. All three cats use litter boxes and our pup is house and kennel trained.
