“Krissy and her husband are animal lovers and very kind, and our dog Gracie loves them. We have had Krissy take care of our dog many times, and she is always reliable and communicative. Krissy’s home has become Gracie’s home away from home, and we highly recommend her. We have employed several Rover caregivers, and Krissy is the best!”


“We have left our dog with Tania and family several times and have been very happy with their care. Gracie has terrible separation anxiety but happily goes to Tania and is relaxed! Tania walks Gracie and there is a nice fenced back yard to explore! We hope she continues to be available when Gracie needs her in the future. Tania is a very nice person with a beautiful family. I highly recommend her!”



About: Over 25 years experience In pet-sitting, dog training and volunteering for various animal organizations allowing me to be very In tune with your pups and their needs. Your fur baby will have full-time one-on-one care and we provide a safe and fun place for your pups while you are at work or on vacation . I send photos and updates daily so you can know exactly how they are doing. ****Please note, I cannot accept super high energy or anxious dogs and like to keep a playful, but stress free environment for all the pups :) Dogs must be fully potty trained in other peoples homes and be dog friendly with other dogs. I take as many walks as the pups need and do not watch more than 2 dogs (That makes 3 with my girl) so your dog will always have personal care in a fun and stress-free environment! Feel free to contact me for a meet and greet! =) ********IMPORTANT NOTES!!*********** **Due to proximity of neighbors and that I have client calls, we cannot have dogs that continuously bark out of respect for my neighbors. I cannot accept super high energy or anxious dogs and like to keep a playful, but stress free environment for all the pups :) Dogs must be fully potty trained in other peoples homes and be dog friendly to other dogs. I work from home and your dog will have lots of full time care and cuddles. I do not take more than 2 dogs at once so your dog will have lots of personal attention. Drop off and pick up times are from 7:00 am - 9pm. We have a fenced in back yard and also live waking distance to a quiet greenway entrance for lots of sunny walks in nature for exercise if needed.

“Sloane was great with spade . This was our first time leaving him with someone and I feel we picked the right person for the job . Times changed last minute and she was able to accommodate with no problem . Will definitely use her again !!”


“Lyna always enjoys her stay with Meghan and Wesley. She looks forward to it when we pull into the driveway, and seems to have had a great time when we pick her up. We are fairly picky Rover users and will definitely continue using Meghan’s services!”



“Karisa was amazing with our 5 month old lab. He adjusted perfectly fine and she sent updates and pictures. Will absolutely be coming to Karisa again in the near future. Thank you!!”


“Cody had An amazing time ! Steve was awesome he was able to take my last minute booking . My dog has bad anxiety and has a hard time being by himself . Cody enjoyed himself . I’m glad I’ve found a place where my dog is comfortable”


“My dog Mochi absolutely loves his days with Molly! She’s the kindest and most accommodating sitter on this app. If you’re looking for a loving sitter who goes above and beyond, please book her!”


About: I have cared for dogs for the past 9 years from all walks of life. From dogs that are at the end of their life stage and need a little extra TLC to young bloods that need to be taken out for nice long walks to be tuckered out. I have cared for fish, guinea pigs, chicks and fully grown chickens I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of spare free time to give each pet that care they deserve! I have reliable transportation so that will also not be an issue I can care for pets in my home or the owners home. There are parks near where I live and I have a back yard that would allow the dogs to feel at home. I can also care in their own respective location with walks around the neighborhood, feeding, checking to ensure the water bowl is full and picking up after the pet.

“Grace and her husband are amazing with my little girl Bella! Every time I pick her up she is so exhausted, but happy; which means she had a great day! I love that they treat her like their own!”


“My dog had a great time playing with their dog Beau during daycare! Austin and Morgan were very attentive and sent pics and texts throughout the day to let me know how she was doing. Really appreciated the extra effort to learn the individual personality, needs and schedule of my dog prior to her first time with them. I have already scheduled her for boarding as it was such a great fit!”


“Gracie and Glenwood are absolutely perfect for my girl, Sparta. My dog is picky about both people and dogs, so I'm always nervous about meeting new sitters. But I had nothing to worry about because Gracie and Glenwood were so relaxed and welcoming. Gracie's home is lovely, and she was kind enough to leave her balcony door open so that Sparta could do her watchdog routine (my dog's favorite activity). Gracie also took a work break to give some snuggle time on the sofa, which is amazing as Sparta usually takes a long time to warm up to people enough to snuggle, but clearly felt right at home with Gracie. Glenwood is also the perfect match for my dog. Sparta is getting older and doesn't want to play much; she just wants another dog's company. Glenwood read Sparta well, and they just greeted each other with sniffs and wagging tails before Sparta set off to inspect the entire apartment. Glenwood is an old soul, perfect for senior pups who need to take it easy. 5 stars, highly recommended.”


About: I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and I have been taking care of people pets since I was 10 years old, I am very good with animals and I love them I available 24 hours to take care of your pet, I can come to your place or I can take care of them in my place I have 2 bedroom condo and I can take care of any kind of animals, I can come to your place or you can come to my place

About: I’ve been pet sitting at my home for almost 6 years. I also grew up with dogs. I work from home so will be here with the dog, and love going on long walks which are only made better with a K9 companion. I am comfortable with all breeds and would love to meet your pup! I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog during the day. I also love taking long walks or going to the park with the pups I watch. I allow dogs on all furniture, but will respect your rules in my home as well if you do not. I do ask that if your dog needs to be crated to avoid chewing or damage to furniture when I step out, that you provide their crate. If the dog is not used to being crated and is okay left out, that is fine with me.

About: I’m a college kid who loves animals, but I am not in a position to have my own. Pet-sitting gives me the opportunity to love animals while supporting my education! I’ve raised a family dog and an abandoned gas station kitten, but have no animals to love right now. Let me take care of your precious pets and they will get all the love and care they need! This really is the best job ever. I am a college student who goes to class on the weekdays. However, my classes are only a 5 minute drive to campus, so I am always close enough to check in every few hours on your lovely animals and give them the attention and care they deserve! I stay home as much as possible during their stay with me. My home has a closed backyard fence and a front yard as well for fresh air as well. I am also close to Dorothea Dix Dog Park. I have the entire NC State campus and greenway a short walk away to walk your pets!

About: I have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own, and I volunteered at the shelter for a year. Your babies would be in a good hand and I will be their best friend! I'm currently working at home so I have plenty time with your pup or cat. I can do boarding, walks, drop ins and house sitting. Please message me and I will let you know if I am available :) I love going on walks. I can take your pet on walks or play fetch in your backyard or I can bring them to the park if you like. I can drop by visits if you are going on vacation or just need it. And I can also help on bath but no nails trim.

Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second doggy daycare with Karisa and just like the first time she did a phenomenal job. We will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind, attentive, and very on top of everything, our fur baby looks extremely happy every time we pick him up, which is awesome. If you are thinking of picking a sitter, Karisa is definitely someone you should book.

Rachel is an excellent pet sitter. She asked questions on the day we booked and added conversation that allowed us to get comfortable with each other. Rachel asked many questions about Duck and she was very understanding about him having a little accident. She communicated regularly throughout the visit and sent photos. He got walks and play time and was very well cared for. Would definitely recommend Rachel and we will definitely use her again to watch our pets.

Donna was incredible! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs—mine felt right at home with her. She kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, and I could tell she really understood them (especially being a dachshund mom herself!). I’m so grateful to have found someone who treats my pups like family. Highly recommend!

Mr. Bean was looking for a daycare of only a few other friends. He decided to try out Brittany’s! When he got picked up at the at the day he was a happy! Came home with the zoomies and wanting to play. He also got to make a new friend which is what I wanted for him.

Carley was great! We were in town for a wedding and she was happy to watch our dog so we could enjoy the day & night without worry. She took him on walks, sent lots of pics, gave him tons of attention and love, and updated us frequently. We’ll definitely use her again the next time we’re in Raleigh!
