“Annalee is an incredible sitter! She house sat and cared for my dog for a week and a half. She took my dog on lots of walks and gave her so much love, care, and attention. I really appreciate the daily updates and pictures. She was also very respectful of my home and things and left my home just as she found it. She is definitely my go-to sitter for the future! I greatly appreciate her!”

“Heather was absolutely amazing with our three pitbulls. From the start she was so responsive and provided so many updates which made us feel completely at ease. Our dogs loved her, and it meant everything to know they were happy, safe, and cared for while we were away. She took great care of our home too, and we came back to everything perfect. We’re truly grateful for Heather and will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.”

“Was gone for about 3 days. Jessica was able to provide me with a morning and afternoon report on how my pets were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. I was so grateful and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were in good hands. My 2 cats and pup were so comfortable with her. Definitely recommend and will rebook again!”


About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.
“Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.”

“Aly was an absolute joy. She took such good care of both my dogs, one of which is elderly and she made sure she got her meds and any other instructions I left. I got daily updates with lots of pictures, including taking my other dog on car rides in the country! She gave each pet - including my fish! Individual attention and care. I can’t say enough about her and will use her again!”

“Megan is the best. I never have to worry about leaving my baby girl thanks to her. Megan always takes such great care of her and sends me updates consistently. Highly recommend her!”

“Charles is awesome. He is sooo generous with meeting me and Woody before my trip. Charles was excellent with giving me an update during his stay at my house with Woody.. Woody loved Charles & they got along fantastic. I would recommend Charles to anyone with a pet! He was extremely respectful of my house, generous with his time & Woody loved him. There is a 💯 % I will ask him to watch Woody again!”


“Absolutely fantastic experience with Day! Their communication was top-notch from start to finish, keeping us updated with photos and messages. Our dogs were incredibly happy and well-cared for, and it was clear they enjoyed their time with Day. We felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing our fur babies were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with 2 Labrador retrievers, who I grew a special bond with where I grew to love taking care of dogs! I now have a 3 year old German Shepherd pure bred, who I raised and helped to train. I just adopted a Hound, who is a 2 year old rescue. I love walking my dogs everyday, and also driving them to parks as well. I feed my dogs everyday, and have always been known to be taking care of dogs my whole life. I am 21 years old, and a student at East Carolina University. I come home very often, especially during breaks, and live here all summer! My pets are apart of my everyday life, and I am willing to take care and spend valuable time with pets whenever needed and necessary for you! I am willing to do just about anything with your pets, such as spending time playing with them, walking them, going to a park, feeding them, making sure they go to bed safe, whatever fits you and your pets needs!
“Alexia was absolutely wonderful with our 2 pups and I am so glad we booked with her! She stayed with our pups all day and did an amazing job! Our older golden just had ACL surgery so she was great with taking extra care of him! Our younger golden has a lot of energy and she did great at keeping him entertained and happy. We will definitely be booking again! It was so great to be able to go away for the day and know our pups were happy and very well cared for!”
“Linda was a great find for us. We moved back to the area about a year ago and needed someone to stay with our “kids”. We’ve used Rover in the past so we turned to them again. After a lot of searching for someone that could take care of our elder pups needs we landed on Linda. It was short notice for her (I procrastinated) but she made it work. Linda stopped by the house for a visit with everyone and the kids approved. We were very pleased with Linda’s approach and style. She took care of our home and babies like they were her own. We highly recommend Linda. She’s a keeper. We will be booking her again.”

“Its hard leaving you fur babies with someone new. This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier. The communication during my absence was great and my twp dogs exceptionally well cared for. 10/10 will use again!”

“Jack and Micki were so happy when we got home which tells me they were well cared for. Sarah was responsive, shared pictures, and cleaned up the house after staying with them which is amazing to come home to. So glad our pups had a great time with her while we were away.”

“This is the first time I've had a sitter stay in my house instead of boarding my girls. After meeting Kathy and seeing how much my younger dog loved her, I felt confident in leaving for a week. However, she went above and beyond to love on my dogs so they wouldn't be upset that I was gone. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and tailored her schedule around the dog's needs. Kathy was also flexible when the dogfood unexpectedly ran out and I had to order more while out of the country. She offered to get food for them locally and then modified their feeding schedule while waiting for the food shipment. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I got home and its clear they were well loved and taken care of. The house was also cleaner than when I left! I've already asked Kathy if she is available for my next trip!”
