“This was our first time using Rover, and it was a last minute request! Jiahui was quick to respond, immediately offered to come meet our cats prior to the time of care and provided them with the essentials for the couple day we were away. We’re very appreciative !”


“Very reliable and super great to work with. She came exactly when agreed upon, followed directions, and gave our dog and cat lots of love while we were away. Would highly recommend Amanda!”

“Rodrigo was very accommodating, especially considering we requested a 3-service visit for our three kitties just 9 days before an unplanned trip to Texas. Rodrigo fit us into his busy schedule and made time to visit us and our three kitties before we left town. Rodrigo was extremely professional and detail oriented, asking questions to ensure he took care of our kitties to our satisfaction. We highly recommend him for trustworthy and wonderful pet care.”


“Really great and caring to our cat, CJ! We had a family emergency and Ashley came three times in one week on short notice to check in on our cat and made sure he had everything he needed (including cuddles!) We will definitely be using Ashley in the future to check in on our cat whenever we are out of town. She is genuinely a caring and animal loving pet sitter. ?”



“Taylor is absolutely incredible - always goes out of her way to make sure my kitty is comfortable and happy. She is extremely flexible and accommodating when we need her for extra time last minute, and will do anything she can to make sure my cats needs are met. I could not recommend her more! She’s a true animal lover and Will do a great job of caring for your furry friends.”



“Nicole is awesome! She came to my house took my dogs out, made sure they had food and water, played with them a little and even brought them a toy! I will definitely rebook with her.”


“Hannah was an absolute lifesaver, stepping in last minute to care for my senior cat. She was incredibly helpful, warm, and attentive, making sure my kitty was well looked after. I truly appreciated her kindness and the excellent care she provided!”


“Ashley was amazing from the meet and greet to the drop-in visits! She was very communicative and sent a lot of photos. Our older dog can be nervous around new people and she warmed up very quickly to her. We will for sure use her again!”


“Xeque was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute request. Her communication was excellent, and she took exceptional care of our pups. Highly recommended!”


About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.

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.

“Allison is amazing!! After reading all her great reviews and our first meet-up, I knew without a doubt that I picked the best sitter! Roscoe had 2 surgeries on April 18th, and needs some extra post-surgery care with extra feedings and potty breaks while we are at work. Allison did two twice a day drop-ins to help with Roscoe's needs and is doing again for us this week. We couldn't be happier!! She went above and beyond taking great care of Roscoe. Her professionalism and sweet caring heart does not go unnoticed! Roscoe said he can't wait to spend more time Allison when boarding is needed in the near future!”


“Gianni is an amazing. If you’re looking for a person who loves animals and is going to take amazing care of your pets I highly recommend Gianni. She took care of my cats and gave insulin to my diabetic cat. She took extra care of my diabetic cat and he was so happy when we got back ❤️”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over a decade, and it’s truly something I enjoy. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra attention, I’m confident handling all kinds of personalities. I’ve helped with everything from feeding and walks to administering meds and giving baths. Pet parents know they can count on me to treat their animals like family with patience, love, and responsibility. I only work two days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets during the day, evenings, or weekends. My schedule is very open and reliable. I always treat clients space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully. I keep things clean, stick to routines, and send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with small and large dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs of my own ranging from 1 year old to 9 years old. I can walk, bathe, feed, or give medicine to your pet. I currently work 9-5 in Raleigh NC Monday-Friday. I can take care of your fur baby before or after work and even on my lunch break. I can stay for extended time as needed on the weekends as well. I have 3 dogs currently who love to play in our fenced in back yard. I try to take them for walks around the neighborhood as often as I can. They get bi-weekly baths.

“Nolan was very accommodating by providing a meet and greet ahead of taking care of my two K9s and the cat. He carefully listened to instructions, since each of the boys is a working breed and needs a firm hand and consistent routine. He was communicative and reliable, showing up when he said he would for the meet and greet and when he was requested for care of all of the animals. He was ready for the challenge of a German Shepherd that needed to be kept separate from the Belgian Malinois, and of course the princess (the cat) who needed to be kept safe from the dogs. He reinforces good behavior from both K9s, and provided exercise as well as enrichment for both in separate walks and training reinforcement. He wraps everything up by giving the little princess some affections, attention, and play time (if she is feeling social). I am looking forward to working with Nolan again. He is very enthusiastic about providing quality care for all animals. I will continue to hire him and would recommend him for anyone with a challenging breed. His passion for providing not just physical care for the dogs is shown through his excitement and willingness to provide them training, which is critical to keep them healthy and happy. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”


About: Our love of dogs goes back as far as we can remember! Between the two of us, we have decades of experience working with, fostering, and caring for pups of all kinds. Kara’s first job at 15 was at a boarding facility, and over the years she has developed a passion for dog training as a hobby, enjoying the process of teaching new skills and building trust with every pup she works with. Jake grew up surrounded by animals and has spent years caring for friends, family, and clients’ pets—he’s also an avid runner who loves taking a four-legged buddy along for extra exercise and adventure. Together, we have fostered and placed over 50 dogs in loving homes. As a team, we offer the perfect balance of attention, structure, and affection that every dog deserves. Whether your dog is young or old, perfectly trained or a little rough around the edges, we know how to make them feel comfortable and part of our pack. We both work remotely, so there’s always someone home to keep your pup company during the day. Dogs are welcome to hang out by our sides while we work and snuggle up at night. Our schedules are flexible, making it easy to accommodate most routines and requests. We make sure every dog gets a proper, stress-free welcome. New arrivals are given time to sniff around and settle in at their own pace before meeting our dogs in a controlled and safe way. Our home has a large fenced yard for playing fetch and getting out extra energy, plus comfy dog beds and crates for rest time. Walks happen twice a day, and to ensure safety, we always feed our dogs separately from guest dogs. With both of us caring for your pup, they’ll get extra love, attention, and playtime! SCHEDULE We both work remotely, which means there’s almost always someone home to give your pup plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Our schedules are flexible, allowing us to accommodate most routines. Boarding is available on weekends and weekdays, and we’re happy to discuss any special timing needs to make sure everything works smoothly for you and your pet. SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a large fenced yard where pups can safely play and explore, along with two friendly resident dogs to keep them company. We use gates throughout our home to create separate spaces when needed, giving dogs the option for alone time or a calm environment. If crating is part of your pup’s routine, we can easily accommodate that as well. All introductions are done slowly and safely to ensure a stress-free experience for everyone.

About: I’ve practically had pets my whole life and have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—I genuinely love being around them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience not just with my own pets, but also through my time working at the PetSmart PetsHotel, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just making them feel at home, I truly enjoy every part of taking care of animals. I’m a teacher, so my summers are open. I’m usually free after 3 during the rest of the year. Weekends are usually open. My availability will be posted. My top priority is always building trust with your fur baby. Only then am I able to care for them to the fullest. I have an extra bedroom for pets that prefer their own space. I have a large back yard and also am located about 3 miles from a dog park that I frequent.

Kayla A.
“Kayla is so great with my dog, Mamba. He’s a bit crazy and very playful but Kayla is so gentle with him. I met Kayla when she watched Mamba while working at the Pets Hotel at Petsmart. I could immediately tell that she thoroughly enjoyed working with dogs. She even took all the doggy portraits for Halloween and Christmas which turned out great by the way. All of the dogs loved Kayla and I’m sure she loved them!”


Elizabeth P.

“Elizabeth was great and the dogs loved having her stop by. Would definitely recommend.”
