“We are very thankful for Brittany and her willingness to keep our pup! She was very responsive and ensured I had regular updates and pics while we were on our trip. Look forward to booking with her in the future!”
“1000% love that Roxie and Gizmo are so well taken care of with Deborah and Ron! And my pups look forward to going there, they know they are going before we even pull up!”
“Kirby was well taken care of. I got plenty of pictures and videos every day. I could tell he was having a good time and got plenty of fetch time. He came home happy and smelling great. Would definitely use Susan again.”
“She is wonderful! I got multiple pictures and videos a day. The babies had so much fun and I knew they were in good hands. I will be using Natalie again whenever we go out of town.”
“Amy took care of my 5 year old dachshund (Molly) for 6 days. My family absolutely loves Molly and we had not been away from her in about 3 years. It was really hard to leave her but Amy sent me updates and pictures. She never acted like I was bothering her when I would ask for an extra update. Molly is not just a dog to my family, she is our baby, and I will not hesitate to leave her with Amy again if we are unable to take her on vacation with us again.”
“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“Kendra was very sweet, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire process. She took excellent care of our golden doodle “Zuri” and made sure to update us with pictures and texts daily. She will definitely be our first choice for boarding from this point on! Thank you Kendra!”
“Brad sent me lots of pictures of my pups having fun with Brad, his wife, and their two pups. I think they were having more fun than I was having while I was out of town. I recommend Brad and would definitely use him again!”
“Leighanne was so great to take our 2 dogs last minute for a week. We are so thankful. I know they loved having other friends to play with. They moved our dogs like they were their own. Comforting our big baby when he was homesick. Great rovers!”
“Took great care of my babies and put up with my helicopter parenting. Sent plenty of updates and pictures. Helped me feel a little better about leaving my girls for the first time.”
About: I have dogs of my own ranging from a senior dog all the way down to a puppy. For over a year I’ve had to care for my five-year-old German Shepherd. He is administered medication daily. My Yorkie is 10 years old and our chocolate lab is almost 2. We have inside and outside cats and also have a bunny. They are all my babies. I’m currently seeking to be a full-time caregiver for pets. I am available during the week and on weekends. I am flexible and can travel to you. I have a Fence yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If you prefer a crate, we can provide those. I am flexible and able to travel to your home or visits during the day.
“This was Buddy's first experience with boarding, and it went great. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Jharasen and really appreciated the pics and updates she sent me throughout Buddy's stay. I will definitely book with Jharasen again!”
“Melissa provided an absolute home away from home for our special Levi. She listened to his needs and gave him everything he needed. We have already prebooked his next two stays❤️”
“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Annie was amazing! I have a reactive dog and she was more than willing to accommodate her, she knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Biggie and our pack just moved cross-country and needed a last-minute sitter for him while we viewed some homes. Jennifer and Matthew were fantastic, and so kind. They promised to take care introducing him to their kids and another dog, kept communication open, and sent photos that showed how happy he was running and playing. As much as I missed him, I can tell he had a blast with them. We look forward to the next visit, thank you both for making our first Rover experience in NC such a good one.”
