“Will definitely be reaching out to Yanke again in the future! My work has me traveling last minute and she was immediately responsive. Great communicator and the dogs loved her!”

“I have been extremely pleased with my experience so far having Megan has a dog walker for Cooper while I’m at work! She has been a great communicator responding to me in a timely manner and providing updates on any changes to the expected schedule. Megan also does a great job providing a summary of each visit with Cooper and sends pictures during the time they spend together! This gives me confidence she takes the service she provides seriously and that Cooper is getting the attention I hoped for while I’m away!”
“Alexandra looked after my dog and cat while I was away on a work trip. She was always quick with replies and attentive to my dog’s needs while walking her in the hot weather! She was flexible with scheduling the initial meet and greet, pet visits, and took good care of my pets! Will hope to use her services again when needed in the future.”
About: I’m a dog mom so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog. He’s my buddy and we’ve gone on more hikes and walks than I can count. I trained him when he was a little pup and I cared for him post surgery when he needed a little extra love and support (he gets a lot🥰). I’ve helped my family and friends by caring for their dogs when they go away or get stuck at work. I also volunteer at the animal shelter where most of my time is spent dog walking. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and my dog is my baby so I can promise that I will take the very best care of your pup!💛 I’m flexible with timeframes and requests as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to help and I can’t wait to meet your pup!😊 Being a dog mom, dog-sitting, and volunteering at the animal shelter have all helped me develop the necessary skills to take the very best care of your pup!
“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old! I have experience with pets of all ages (from month old puppies to elderly pets). I started out my pet care with multi-day full time stays and have performed week-long stays before with pets. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, small all the way to extra large. I am an NC State student so my weeks are quite packed. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free before 11:30am and after 5:30pm for visits/walks. On Fridays, I am free after 4:30pm for visits/walks. I do not work or have school on the weekends so I am completely free 6:00am-8:30pm for walks/visits. I am free to pet sit on the weekends given I do not have something scheduled (in which case my calendar would reflect my unavailability). While I do not do housing of any kind, I have experience staying full time in another’s house while they are away. I can feed and walk anyone’s pets the way they instruct and will provide any form of check-in needed for the owner to be comfortable (pictures, videos, extensive verbal updates, calls, etc.).

About: Hi all, my name is Andrew and I have about 8 years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. Currently I own three cats, one of which is epileptic and takes daily medication. I also have a senior chihuahua (who’s basically a cat at this point). I find that all animals are different and have unique personalities. Some can be very friendly and sociable. While others just want to be left alone. I try to accurately gauge those personalities and provide interactions from there. Whether it’s daily play sessions with their favorite toys or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their home. All of my pets’ diets consist of different foods (picky I know). However I understand the importance of providing the correct nutrition and dietary needs for your favorite furry friends. My one cat is also epileptic and requires medication twice a day. Likewise I would be comfortable providing oral medication if needed (as long as they are willing and trusting of strangers).
About: What sets me apart is my personal experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve owned and cared for my Schnoodle for the past 10 years, giving me firsthand experience with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, and understanding a dog’s needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have pet sat a variety of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers a calmer environment, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I live an active lifestyle and already spend time outdoors walking, exercising, and staying active, which makes dog walks and play sessions an easy and enjoyable part of my day. I am organized, reliable, and comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and care routines provided by pet owners. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to be punctual and dependable. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop in visits, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I can incorporate those responsibilities into my schedule while ensuring your pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so pet care is not just a responsibility for me, it’s something I look forward to and take pride in doing well. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, routines, and any special needs to help pets feel as relaxed as possible. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks, outdoor time, and play sessions to ensure their safety. I make sure they have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention, and get the exercise and enrichment they need. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s property, keeping everything clean, organized, and secure. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Mya and the cats loved when Lauren came over, even the antisocial one that friends often don't know I even have cause they never see her! You will be missed! Best of luck!!”


“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southwest
Kiyah was so lovely to work with. She's so caring and helpful, she made life so much easier. I knew my pup was well cared for with her. And how much she cared about him came through in every update and communication from her. He's an old dog who is set in his ways and I know that she made having to deal with change so much easier for him. She is flexible and so helpful.

Kira was absolutely wonderful with Max! She was very kind, reliable, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Max is a high-energy dog, and Kira handled him with patience and care. She kept us updated and made the whole experience stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would happily book her again in the future! 🐾❤️

Alyssa was amazing!! My dog has been wary at first around other sitters but he had no nerves with Alyssa whatsoever. Booked last minute with her and she was able to come and give my dog all the attention and care he needed! Will be booking with Alyssa again for sure.

Abigail has taken care of both my pups (over 50lbs each) with so much grace. I know how much two big dogs can be and she always takes such great care of them. I love seeing the photos she takes and she’s always quick to respond when I need to communicate with her.

Adreanna was great! She took excellent care of Tonto and was very easy to work with throughout the entire booking. I never had to reach out or worry about anything, and I always felt confident that Tonto was in good hands. For anyone with a senior dog, I highly recommend. I’m sure she’s great with all dogs as well. I would absolutely book with her again.

Yanke has been wonderful with our big anxious boy! He was a late Covid puppy and did not get much out of the house socializing. she has been great at handling him and he seems to really enjoy his walks with her! He does not like most people and is dog reactive. She has been able to handle him on walks no problem.
