“We’ve always relied on friends and family to care for our dog, so trusting someone new was a big step for us. Bonnie exceeded every expectation. I left her a detailed list of instructions, and she followed every one with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, kind, responsive, and it was obvious from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Throughout the entire experience, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and will treat your pet like one of their own, I can’t recommend Bonnie highly enough. She was absolutely wonderful, and we will definitely be using her again.”
“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”
About: Hi, I'm Allie. I have loved and cared for animals since I was 12. I have always dog-sat and walked dogs. In addition, I worked at a local dog store in my hometown called Just Dog People. We sold dog toys, products, food, etc., and clipped and washed dogs. I have worked professionally with dogs for years, and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I am currently enrolled at ECU but have a pretty open schedule. I am available to walk dogs mornings, afternoons, and evenings Monday through Sunday! I have 4 dogs myself and they are my pride and joy. I am very respectful and have worked and cared for animals in my own home and others and have always done well. I seek to make the best experience for the pups and get all their energy out.
“Sunny was great in taking care of my dog on short-notice. I received plenty of photos in the updates and summary of the visits, and my dog was in good spirits when I returned.”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals for as long as I can remember, I’ve been trained by a dog trainer and my passion animals of all kinds. I am currently working a part-time job and have plenty of availability to take care of any of your pets needs! I’m trying to gain more experience for my veterinary degree I treat all pets with the upmost respect, care and love, any pet is part of my family and will be treated with as much love as such.
About: I have had a dog since I was 13, and more recently a cat. I raised my dog from the age she was a puppy until now. She is fully potty trained along with being well trained in many commands. My cat was a stray rescue, and is well behaved and is fully trained to use her litter box. I have never had an issue with either of my animals! I am currently a photographer, leaving plenty of time for me to care for your sweet baby! I am hoping to lean on Rover as my full summer time job, but if this is not possible, I will be getting a part time job that will still leave me with plenty of time! I am willing to make an effort to crate train your pup, or teach them any commands! I also love to go for walks and I would be more than happy to walk your dog once or twice a day depending on their energy needs!
About: In my 5 years of watching animals, I have found a passion in taking the best care of them and making them feel comfortable in their own homes. I have dealt with stressful dogs all the way to the outgoing kinds and know how to comfort them in anyways I can. I also have experience with training puppies and keeping up with them! Along with watching the animals, I am also there for you so if you have any plants that need watered or trash taken out I will happily do that for you! I am a Sophomore at East Carolina University and I do have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday! I only have 1-2 classes a day that are not longer than an hour! My top priority is making sure they are comfortable and not stressed with their owners being gone. I ask the owners if they have any ways of calming them down and what their daily routine is. I mold my schedule to what the animals are used to so they aren’t dealing with a big change.
About: I have been dog-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family throughout high school, and I always go out of my way to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe! I have experience staying in clients' homes, bringing pets to my house, and stopping by for visits or walks. I'm currently a full-time student, but I have lots of gaps between classes in the middle of the day, and all my nights are free. I also have multiple days with no classes, and my weekends are completely free. I make sure that your pets always have my full attention and care. While I'm with them, I make sure they get lots of attention and love. I make sure to play with them and let them out many times throughout a visit. I make sure that I carry out any other tasks exactly as you want me to. I always take time to update you throughout my care.

I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and providing attentive, reliable care. I am student in college with flexible hours. I am free nearly every day and I am able to commute and prove quality care to all pets. I am extremely responsible and reliable. I take animals out right away and refill water and necessities. I’d love to exercise your animal and play with them until they are fully cared for and loved.
About: I have fostered dogs and puppies for 10 years now. I am very experienced with all breeds and ages from 6 weeks to 16 years. I’m currently a college student at East carolina. I have class during the week so I can start walking at around 3 pm during the week besides wednesday’s. I know how to properly care for a dog on the leash and I am happy to take any dogs to the dog park or anyplace where the dog can socialize.
About: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies! I'm a graduate student work part-time so I have a good deal of flexibility. I am unavailable MWF 9am-1pm and T/TH 2pm-5pm. Beyond that, I am happy to work within our schedules to take care of your furry friends! Ultimately, I want to uphold what you would normally do to care for your pet. I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!
“Morgan is the BEST. She is always on time and goes above and beyond for my dog. I have had a couple of hiccups with my schedule and she is always willing to make it work for the change in days I need her to come by. She is also very prompt with responding to my messages which helps me with my peace of mind. I would recommend Morgan to every pet owner!”

I truly can’t recommend her enough! Skye is my whole world, so trusting someone else to care for her is never easy, but she exceeded every expectation. She was so kind, attentive, and treated Skye like she was one of her own. Her communication was amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was happy, safe, and loved. It was obvious how much she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I’m so grateful we found her, and I’m honestly so sad we’re moving because I know Skye is going to miss her just as much as I will. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like family and make you feel completely at ease while you’re away, she’s the one. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my girl—we’ll always be grateful! ❤️
Sunny took good care of my older dog and endured that she took her pills with treats, even when it took several tries. I had a specific concern involving my dog and she kept me updated with detailed Rover cards. I was able to relax on my vacation without any worries.
Maddie was great in being responsive on short-notice and taking my dog for walks in hours when it was still dark outside. She followed the feeding directions and medicine administration that I had set out. Reasonably flexible and made changes due to weather without a problem.
