“Melissa was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were out of the country for a week and were nervous leaving our puppy for the first time. Melissa took amazing care of her and sent photo updates all the time, which really put us at ease. Our dog loved playing with her dogs and it was nice that she had a separate area for just her in case she got overwhelmed and needed to relax. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of Cher Bear and Ben! We could tell they were happy when we came home. All of our plants looked great and Jessica is very thorough and tidy. Thank you! We look forward to using Jessica again!”

“Abbey is fan-freaking-tastic! We came home to happy and well taken care of ladies. Abbey sent us such great pictures of our girls and took wonderful care of our home. She went above and beyond with help around the house and the handwritten note was just *chef’s kiss* Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!!”
“Daniel was great with the fur babies. He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Both babies are long haired and he cleaned up all the leaves they brought in. He left the house cleaner then when he arrived.”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of my babies! They appreciate the time and of course the walks which made us miss our family less! Pippa and Otis says Brad can come back anytime!”

“There was some unexpected bumps that come up during week stay but Lauren was so gracious and she took Twix to her place. She sent updates everyday with pictures of him. Our somewhat picky dog became a dog that is more laid back, enjoyed their cat and and made many new friends. Lauren gave him the best care along with her family. Twix was so sad to leave their home, he had the best vacation.”

“Ashton did a wonderful job with our pups - our home was immaculately clean still when we returned. She was thoughtful with the dogs and just a great sitter. 10/10 would book again.”

“Shawnee did an excellent job house sitting & watching our girl Missy during our vacation. This was our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure of what to expect. But, we were absolutely thrilled knowing that Missy was well taken care of & loved while we were away. She went above & beyond to help care for Missy, and she also took excellent care of the house too! 100% would recommend!”

“Isabella did a great job watching my two dogs and taking care of the house. She sent many pictures and videos of my dogs during her stay. My dogs enjoyed their time with her. I have already booked her for my next trip.”
About: I am an animal lover with decades of experience whose family often refers to as the 'Animal Whisperer!' I've owned and taken care of pets (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, rabbits) for as long as I can remember. I have experience with raising and potty training puppies. I take pride in ensuring my pets' space is clean so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm retired and would love to spend my free time caring for your animals! I am currently retired so my main priority is to give your pets the best care! I am very flexible and will work with you to determine the best schedule for both of us. I take pride in ensuring my pets' space is clean so they feel safe and comfortable. I have no problem playing with them outdoors, walking them or just being there to comfort them. I love to cuddle and sweet talk them so they can continue to feel your love while you're gone!
About: I have years of pet care experience! I have spent my life wanting to make dog parents' lives easier. Not only have I had animals all my life, I have 5 years' experience at dog boarding facilities that also include daycare and grooming. I love all dogs, big or small. I also have experience in puppies, older gems and those who may be considered "difficult". I am here to make your life easier when you have to leave your pet. We all know it isn't fun to leave them, but I am here to ease your mind! I will make sure your pet is at ease while their human is gone! I can't replace you, but I will make it more bearable! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet! I can make time for morning, midday (depending on location) and evening potty breaks! I will come to your house so that your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own home. Unless you request that I bring them into my house, I usually like to keep them in their normal routine and place!

“Parris was amazing!! He took care of our 5 fur babies and house for a long weekend and everything was wonderful. Fantastic communication, all the animals were clearly well cared for and happy and healthy when we came home. Great experience all around and would highly recommend Parris.”
About: I have been taking care of a wide range of pets for the past five years. Whether for friends, family or new clients I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Rover is currently a full-time job while I’m part-time security guard for DSI Security. I was already doing pet services before/during the pandemic, so I like making connections through this application for more clients. I will be able to provide services accordingly with my schedule around the clock and care for your pet(s) whether it’s overnight sitting, walking or daily drop-ins! I can balance between DSI Security and my days off. The most important thing is making sure pets remain comfortable when you need to get away for a few days. A meet and greet prior to a service ensures this as I am able to become familiar with your pet(s) and how your day to day routine is for them.
“Julie is amazing!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would. She has been great with all my pets. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone and everyone. She’ll take great care of your babies!!”

South Gastonia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.
