“Elissa was fantastic with my two teenage kittens with oodles of energy. She updated me daily and everything went so smoothly. I can't thank her enough for allowing me to relax knowing my pets were being taken care of so well at home.”
“Heather was fantastic. We had a senior pup that need quite a bit of help and our younger dog needed individual attention. Heather really went above and beyond with our pups and her updates were very detailed and concise (which I love). I will absolutely use Heather again!”
“Courtney was great with our boy! Her communication from the beginning was amazing. She was very detailed in her notes every time she would do a drop in which we appreciated and we really enjoyed getting pictures of our pup! Will be using her again in the future! 😊”
“Braeden is fantastic! She is so thorough and reliable. I really appreciate how much she loves animals and she took great care of my pets. I felt comfortable being out of town knowing she had everything taken care of. I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time using rover and we would like to thank Jessica K for being so good to the dogs. We were very nervous at first due to hearing bad reviews about rover but Jessica made sure were comfortable and the dogs immediately like her when she came for meet and greet. Throughout our trip Jessica sent photos of the boys to us and that made us relax on our vacation. We will definitely book Jessica again. Thank you again for taking care of the dogs and making sure we didn’t have to worry about them on our trip. We appreciate you.”

“Everything went well, Emily is great. A real good thing to know we wouldn’t have to worry about our cat while we were gone. Emily got back to us immediately when we sent the request and that was absolutely crucial as time was running out. Good experience overall”
About: Experienced pet owner, who has grown up in a household with multiple pets my whole life. Experienced with all ages; from newborn puppies, elder dogs/cats. Experience in medication administration, pets with special needs & bottle feeding. I work full time, 100% remote as a business consultant. My schedule allows flexibility throughout the day.

About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest, I will be there too.

I'm available for boarding on weekends starting Thursday night and ending Sunday night. I do not have other animals or children in my home, only an occasional g-child, so I can accommodate a pet with high needs. I also have room to crate a dog if needed.
“I cannot recommend Evelyn enough! She did an excellent job caring for my dog, Zeus. This was her first time sitting, and she exceeded all expectations. She was punctual for every check-in, never missed a beat, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. It was clear that she cared about making sure Zeus was happy and well taken care of. I had complete peace of mind knowing she was looking after him. Thank you, Evelyn, for your outstanding care, we’ll definitely be booking with you again in the future!”

About: I have volunteered at the National Mill Dog Rescue so I understand the verbal and non verbal clues that your pets will display when you hire me I am currently working full time supporting the military so I am able to support rest breaks during the evening after 5pm, weekends, or during the whole day of Federal Holidays My current apartment living, while waiting on a house, does not allow me to host your pets. I would only be able to stop in at your place or do a sleep over if you allow my two small dogs to stay overnight
“Lillie was great! She took excellent care of my dog and did a great job of keeping me informed and providing photos. She even went above and beyond by bringing a delivered package in from the porch. Also, she accepted this dog sitting very last minute when my original sitter had to cancel. I would not hesitate to utilize Lillie’s services again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thanks again, Lillie!”
“Molly was amazing. She was considerate of our new puppies needs and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of in our absence. I don’t think I have ever received the level of details and photos, it definitely allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. I absolutely plan on booking Molly again.”

About: I have been caring for other people’s pets and my own since I was a child. I own my home in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced in back yard. I have tons of room to accommodate your pets needs. I work full time M-F in Downtown Raleigh with a little bit of flexibility . I can usually do drop in visits and walks in the evenings that I work even if my calendar shows that I am unavailable I will try to work with you. I can board or house sit (or any other service) weekends. My 7 year old fur baby’s name is Bailey and she loves other pets. If your pet is staying at my home and you, for any reason, would like for your pet to be separated from Bailey that is completely fine I have the space to do that. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!!! I work full time so I am more available to give your pet the attention they deserve for boarding or house sitting during the weekends. I can do pop in visits or walks in the evening during the week. I have a fenced in yard and my friendly Beagle that would love to help keep your pet company. If you would prefer a crate I have one for your pet to use. If your pet is chewy, I would prefer to use the crate.
