We were so lucky to find Alison for a last-minute house and pet sitting booking after our original sitter canceled unexpectedly. She was incredibly accommodating and adaptive to the situation, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Alison arrived on time, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly happy and well cared for, and the house was just as we left it. Alison was reliable, thoughtful, and great with our animals!

Christie was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in on short notice, allowing my family to make a last-minute trip for Thanksgiving. She was incredibly caring and attentive to our pets, treating them as if they were her own. I especially appreciated her willingness to call with any questions—it showed how much she cared about getting everything just right. Overall, Christie is not only professional and reliable but also has such a warm and trustworthy demeanor that instantly put us at ease. I highly recommend her services!

Michele is fantastic! She was so attentive and caring with Luna and Frankie and kept me updated the entire time I was out of town. I've been using Rover for 5 years and Michele is one of the best sitters I've ever had. She will be my first choice from here on out.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and cared for my own dog for 12 years now. All it takes to help cate for a pet is know their routine and take great care of them. That’s not just give them food and water but also provide exercise and love, I can mostly help out pet owners after my Full-Time job in the afternoons. I work early shift like 5am-1pm or 6am-2pm 5 days a week. Especially on my days off I can pick a shift every now and then. Ive dog sat for my pet owner friends and they alway invite me back to take care of them. I make sure to follow the pet routine (feed it on time and making sure they have water when need be, and also providing the pet their medicine if need be) and I make sure the pet is get the outside time it need and deserve rather then being cooped up inside all day.

About: With my experience of caring for my family’s small yorkies for the past 14 years, I say that my skills are mostly surrounded in the area of caring for older animals. Although in more recent years I have only had smaller pets, bigger pets are not out of range for me since I often care for my neighbors golden retrievers. I am a full time undergrad student who also works part time at a local brewery, although that may mean that my hours are limited, I often see pet sitting as luxury to help me connect with nature and take time out of my typical homework schedule. I strive to create a welcoming and safe environment for the pets whenever I am caring for them. This can include daily walks, regular feeding schedules, and ample playtime. I also prioritize cleanliness and do not mind brushing and bathing the animals to keep them clean and healthy

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.

Britt was precisely what I hoped for in a sitter and expected from rover. She was timely when we first met and everything after has been nothing short of excellent ever since. She kept me up to date with everything involving my dog , but also coordinated with outside agencies and neighbors to make the best possible outcome of any situation for my pet. . Sent pictures almost every day and even got him some new toys. Couldn’t recommend enough . Thank you Britt , I’ll talk to you soon !

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have a ton of experience taking care of them! I own two dogs of my own and have cared for many of my neighbors and friends! i’m always looking for new ways to help out dogs. My family has fostered and helped with transporting dogs in need to shelters, I am very friendly and love getting to play with more dogs! I’m a student athlete, but I only have classes on Tuesday, Thursdays! I am free on monday, wednesday and friday and sundays. Depending on my lacrosse schedule i will have some games in the morning to afternoon but I will definitely have free time! I have experience with big dogs I own a german short haired pointer and a chocolate lab, so I’m not worried about walking or caring for bigger dogs! depending on my schedule I will let you know before hand when I have practices/games. But I will make sure that they are loved and well cared for and I can come over as many times as I can!

About: Hey guys - I’m Jenna! I am a full time pet lover and a full time certified dental assistant. For as long as I can remember, I have always felt connected to animals. Yes, most times more so than humans! 🤗 I have extensive experience in caring for many different pets. Large and small breed dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc. There is truly NO animal that I wouldn’t be happy to learn to take care of. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had some type of animal in my home. I grew up with 10+ cats, numerous dogs and hamsters among other pets. This past January, my partner, Matt & I and our 10 year old daughter, Izzy, rescued a 4 year old American Pit Terrier mix named Winnie. And we are in LOVE! As a couple who has always had a soft spot for pitties, this is the third we have owned one together. Winnie was at a foster with 7 other dogs, numerous cats & a 4 year old and has time and time again shown to be great with all three! As far as boarding another pet, we are unfortunately up in the air at the moment and would have to take each animal on a pet to pet basis. Since we’ve gotten her she has shown no signs of aggression towards other animals or kids and we are open to the possibility if we schedule a time for our pets to meet! As mentioned before, Matt & I have owned pitties for the past 5 years off and on. We have gone through training with a few as well. After the heartbreak of losing 2 of our best friends (our fur babies, of course) in this time, we took a break and decided to foster and pet sit in our time of grieving. We have fostered/petsat 6 dogs of all different breeds. Even two of the sweetest deaf pitties in which we have petsat a handful of times. Throughout the years petsitting them, we have been lucky enough to advance in our knowledge in Deaf Dog Sign Language (DDSL). In the year 2024, we spent more time fostering or petsitting a dog than without. To put it simply, Matt and I have always had a huge heart for animals of all kind. We believe our pets are OUR FAMILY; they DESERVE the absolute BEST care possible. As I mentioned before, I am a dental assistant, but my passion has and will forever be animals! The petcare will be my responsibility unless otherwise notified. In any other instance, my partner, Matt will be there to assist. He has a very flexible job that allows him to be available most days around or after 12pm. We look forward to meeting all of your sweet pets! Please feel free to message with any questions or concerns. Every other week I have Mondays and Fridays off. The other weeks I work Tuesdays through Thursdays from 8-5. As mentioned before, Matt and I are available pretty much every weekend and all weekdays. For weekdays, visiting/walking/feeding/check-ins we can do up to three visits. We have about 2 acres fenced in for our fur baby, Winnie and our 10 year old daughter, Izzy! (Izzy is also super helpful & has our animal loving genes 😆) No pet we have ever had has stayed outside overnight and having the land, we always have time to play if and when your pet wants! We have crate trained in the past and we have not. We believe every animal is different in their needs. Winnie currently does not go in a crate when we leave. As mentioned before, a boarding situation would be a pet by pet basis. We would require a meeting prior to the boarding arrangement.

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I've been around dogs my entire life. I grew up in a family where our chocolate lab, Jazz, was the "favorite child" before my siblings and me. I don't currently own a dog, but I'm looking to share that same attention and affection to your four legged family members. Your dog will be treated to daily walks, indoor and outdoor playtime. I love spending time outside running around parks. I will send pictures and will follow your typical home routine to ensure an extra level of comfort. Additionally, I've had 4 years experience house sitting and can care for the pups in your home. Special arrangements can be made in advance. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work from home and have the flexibility to care for your pet. I love being outside and pet sitting is a good excuse for some extra exercise! The pet’s safety and safety of interactions with other animals/humans is my top priority. I error on the side of caution and ensure that the animal trusts me. Will always discuss details of dog temperament with the owner.

About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.

About: I am filled with patience, love and care. One of my joys is working with any fur baby to make sure they’re safe and happy when there owner is away, making sure they stay on their normal routine as best to my ability and what is required of me. I currently don’t have a job and I love any fur baby so I have full time to help with yours and make sure they’re safe and taken care of. I have a fenced backyard, training with dog sitting, flexible hours and can follow instructions. I will make sure they are fed, exercised, and meet the client’s needs.

It may be unfair, but If I want to know if the person I am speaking to is a good person, I watch for my dogs’ reactions. Andrea was immediately accepted into the fold with no growling or suspicion. My dogs just walked right up to her and gave her love. Her personality is sunny and friendly, and I was comfortable with her with my dogs and in my home, also immediately. I got several updates in the short time she was here, and the dogs were calm when I got home having been walked, wiped and fed. Happy to have her on our team, and if she hadn’t asked for a review, I wouldn’t leave one (I’d rather keep her amazing skills at dog care to myself). Seriously though, Andrea is a wonderful choice if you need help with your babies. ☺️.

I met Emma at College during our freshman year, we clicked instantly. We have had classes together and always submits her assignments on time and makes sure her work is “A” material. We are also on the Women’s Lacrosse team together. She has never missed practice (she’s even showed up sick and the coaches had to force her to leave to get some rest) and she’s a great teammate. This year she was voted as a sophomore captain which is well-deserved. She’s also taken care of our teammate's dog on multiple occasions and the pup adores Emma. She is one of the most responsible and sweetest people I know and she will be sure to take care of your pets like they are her own!

I have known Jenna for over 5 years. I have learned that she is an honest and trustworthy person. One of the things Jenna and I share is our love for animals, especially dogs. I have 2 special needs dogs (deaf). Jenna has watched them for me when we go on vacation. They love her and I trust her completely to take care of them. I'm very careful about who watches my dogs and I would have no trouble recommending Jenna to anyone who needs someone to watch their furbabies.

I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or just keeping things tidy. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to make it happen.

Nicky took great care of Rudy & Buddy. She was always on time and stayed overnight with them. Everything went as planned and expected. I can recommend without reservations.

Katherine has looked after my dogs on many occasions when I have been on travel, and now they get excited whenever she shows up! Her experience growing up with pets of her own (dogs and cats) is obvious through her interactions with mine. She loves the outdoors, which bodes well for any animal that enjoys a walk in the park or outside play sessions. Katherine will take excellent care of your pet, and you can rest in the fact that your furry pal is in good hands!

About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.

It may be unfair, but If I want to know if the person I am speaking to is a good person, I watch for my dogs’ reactions. Andrea was immediately accepted into the fold with no growling or suspicion. My dogs just walked right up to her and gave her love. Her personality is sunny and friendly, and I was comfortable with her with my dogs and in my home, also immediately. I got several updates in the short time she was here, and the dogs were calm when I got home having been walked, wiped and fed. Happy to have her on our team, and if she hadn’t asked for a review, I wouldn’t leave one (I’d rather keep her amazing skills at dog care to myself). Seriously though, Andrea is a wonderful choice if you need help with your babies. ☺️.
