“Deandra was a phenomenal sitter! I had a change of plans and reached out super last minute. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate and take care of my dog on short notice. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures, and my dog seemed really comfortable with her. She also went above and beyond keeping things tidy at my apartment. I’d definitely recommend her and hope she’s able to watch my dog again!”

“Daryana did an excellent job taking care of my dog Clover and my home!! Clover took to her immediately, which made. me feel better about leaving for a few days. Daryana communicated every day that I was gone, and when things went awry, she was quick to let me know and come up with a solution. When I got home, it looked like I never left, minus the empty toilet paper roll.”

“Skye connected immediately with our dog. She happily accepted another assignment and sent a photo of our dog during her long house visit. We would happily contact her on our next visit to Greenville, NC”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, hedgehogs, and fish! I love taking care of, and spending time with animals whenever I can. I am currently a sophomore at ECU, balancing classes and school work, but I can always find a way to make time for a furry friend in need. I have a smaller apartment with other roommates so I can’t have animals, but pet sitting at a clients home is no problem to me!
“Karen was amazing! She was so caring and loving to our dog, and really went the extra mile to make sure he was taken care of, that we had thorough updates, and was attentive to any special requests or needs. I highly recommend Karen and will certainly try and hire her again in the future. Thank you, Karen! :)”


About: I’ve taken care of an array of animals. From small house jobs, to large livestock operations! Also currently studying anima science at NC State. Im currently a full time college student with a flexible schedule. So for the most part, I can care for your pet in the comfort of their home or we could go on adventures on campus! I will ensure all directions are followed for the safety of myself and the animal. And I will familiarize myself with things necessary in the home for the wellbeing of the pet!
About: My entire life has been endless pet care experience! I have lived with cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperments, and ages. Currently living with my own two dogs and a cat, I understand the need for a trustworthy care taker for my babies. I care about the wellbeing of animals so much, I plan on going to vet school! There is no animal that is too much for me! I can do drop in vists through out the day as I have a few hours scattered through the day between classes and practice. If you needed longer daily walks, I could take your pet out in the morning and leave them tired for the day! I could also provide short boarding services to a dog or cat that is friendly with other animals. My own animals have been around various other animals and are well trained so as long as your pet is friendly they would get along great! Every animal is different and require diffreent treatment. I approach all animals and enviorments with understanding and patience, allowing the animal to communicate their needs in any given senario. I can adjust to various enviorments based on the animal's temperment and the owner's preferences!
“Chloe did really awesome with my dogs. I could tell that they were very very comfortable with her and that made me less worried while my family and I were out of town. She a really super sweet and very respectful person. Do recommend will be using her again if we have to be away from home.”

“Morgan was great all around! She stayed with our beagle for a week while we were on vacation and our experience with Morgan was great! She followed the our dog’s normal schedule perfectly. She was prompt, consistent, and kept our house in order so well. She communicated with us consistently throughout the week and sent pictures. And we could really tell that she got to know our dog’s personality and preferences during the week. We will definitely be using Morgan again in the future!”


“Laurel made sure to do exactly what we asked her to do - walking the dogs daily, letting them out, not leaving them alone too long, etc. She also took very good care of our house (she stayed with our pups at home), to include washing and drying linens.”

“Many thanks to Heather for watching our girl Fairah over the weekend! My wife and I don't get to get away often, so when when the chance arises, we take it! Heather took care of our girl and worked on her leash training, offering many tips in the hopes of getting to where she needs to be. She was able to interact with Heather's dogs and played her heart out! She was exhausted when she got home! Overall a great job, I would trust Heather with any of my animals, she's fantastic!”

“Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!”

About: My late dog Casey (d. May 2026) was dog-reactive, and I found out firsthand how hard it is to find a dogsitter without any personal pets or other clients in the home for dogs like her when I travel. I always had at least one dog and cat in the home growing up, but Casey taught me how to set animals up for success by accepting them as they are and adjusting to their needs-- medical, emotional, and physical. For dog boarding, I would like to use my house and fenced-in yard to give other pets a quiet respite when their owners need to travel-- walks, naps, and play included-- and give owners the peace of mind that their pet is somewhere comfortable and safe when they are away. I sanitize and clean my house thoroughly after each pet's visit and pick up the dog poops from my yard to reduce any illness spread between dogs. For housesitting, I would treat your pet and house as I would want my own to be treated if a sitter stayed-- as it was left if not cleaner. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention. Any errand outside of the house I need to run is less than an hour. I will take cues from your pet and your directions on how to occupy your pet's day. On weekdays, I work a 8-to-4 job with flexibility. I typically wake at 6:30AM, return around noon to check on pets + give attention/walk, and stay home after work. Depending on your pet's needs, we can burn off energy or unwind together before I ensure that your pet is settled in for the night with my bedroom door open for nighttime access. As someone whose late dog who had medical and social needs, I will follow your care instructions for your pet in activities, mealtimes, and other concerns, along with medicine administration if needed. I will not be leaving your pet alone in the yard; your pet will be kept indoor in A/C with access to the living room and kitchen during weekdays. Please plan to bring some of your pet's comfort items (toys and treats) along with their necessities to ensure they have something from home for boarding. For new clients boarding in my home, I would ask that you are present for at least fifteen minutes when dropping off your pet to allow acclimation to the space and association with me as someone positive while you and I review care instructions for your pet. If meeting in the home is not possible for boarding, a time for your pet to meet me in a Meet & Greet is essential ahead of time. I want your pet's initial time with me to be as stress-free as possible.

There are so many great things to say about Clarisa! She took great care of Baker & our home while we were gone. She sent so many updates & photos I never one time worried about Baker. Could not recommend her more. Will definitely use her again! She will be our go to for drop ins, walks, & overnights. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter.

Alexandra is very attentive to detail! She was super communicative with me for her entire stay while house sitting. She showed up on time and quickly responded to all my messages. I received photos of my pups at least twice a day. At one point there was a power outage and she kept me in the loop the entire time. She administered my dog's medication perfectly, adhering to my own neurotic documentation for when my dog gets her meds. She even watered my plants too and they look awesome. Alexandra treated my home and my pets with respect and love. I would trust her with another house sitting job any time!

Rebecca is consistently the best Rover for our pets and family. Rebecca is so great with being a trusted sitter for our animals. We are so grateful for her! She takes exceptional care of our two large dogs and cute, but naughty cat. Definitely book Rebecca if you’re looking for someone reliable and communicative!

Morgan was amazing! She watched Monte for a long weekend and was super easy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and updates and Monte clearly had a great time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter and I hope to book with her again in the future!

Elle is excellent. She house sat our pitbull and pet bunny while we were away. Her communication was outstanding and she took great care of our pets as well as our home. She has a wonderful personality, very organized and loved our pitbull while away. Highly recommend 10/10. Thank you Elle for caring for our home and pets. You were terrific :)

Kaylee was absolutely great!! This was her first time housesitting with out pup and she was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures!! We really felt at peace and when we arrive home our house was exactly as we left it and we could tell Juniper loved the time with Kaylee!! We would highly recommend her!! What a blessing…

Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!

Meagan was absolutely amazing with my German Shepherd, Scarr! From the very beginning, she were professional, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Scarr can be a bit high-energy, but she handled him with so much care and confidence. I got regular updates, pictures, and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.
