“Jazmine was absolutely amazing the Dexter and Zuna. She kept me up to date with photos and videos. With us coming home late she was so kind and left lights on for us so we wouldn't walk in in dark. I will definitely book with here again”


“What a wonderful person. So eager to care for the biggest baby/needy pets around. My fur babies took to her right away. There for me even with an unexpected obligation. I look forward to having her as my go-to for my pet setter.”


“Zamyria did awesome! She really helped me out and was able to book with me last minute on the day of my trip. She communicated greatly and sent me so many pictures of my pup. She was so great I booked her again before the end of this first sit. Thank you Zamyria!”


“Aja deserves 10 stars, we highly recommend her to anyone seeking her service. She’s very professional and structured, and followed all of our little requests. We loved her thorough and personalized updates throughout her stay with our dog. We felt comfortable with her in our home and with our German shepherd, who seemed to warm up to her quickly. We look forward to having her back soon!”

“Jessica was a great house sitter for my pups! Most of them are seniors and she was very patient with them and kept me up to date on how they were doing. I definitely had peace of mind while being away that they were in great hands.”

About: I am experienced in senior pup care and have assisted in training young puppies. I am extremely comfortable with administering medications and being conscious to special dietary needs. I was a vet assistant at Caring Hands Animal Hospital for 5 years before retiring due to injury. I treat all animals with kindness and respect. I believe all animals deserve compassion. Pet care is already a part time job for me. Because of my injury, I am frequently home and am available most days. Not to mention the kittens I take care of. I pay very close attention to each individual pets needs whether in my home or yours. Having 6 cats and a dog of my own, I understand the different schedules and habits of each pet. I aim to make each Animal (and their owner) as comfortable as possible with the process.

About: I’m 24 years old and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science in May 2023. My love for animals began in my childhood, I always loved pretending to be a veterinarian and I plan on becoming one sometime in the future. Ive had pets as long as I can remember whether it was a dog or a cat. In high school, I was actively involved in FFA, which further fueled my passion for animal care. I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, sugar gliders, ferrets, along with many others. I also interned at a wildlife rehab center in college, where I gained valuable experience working with wildlife animals. I am a dedicated and organized person, currently working as a vet assistant at a veterinary hospital. This experience allows me to handle senior animals and help with any medical needs your furry babies may have. My diverse background has equipped me with the skills to provide loving and attentive care to all kinds of pets! I am a full-time vet assistant working at a veterinary animal hospital, typically not available from 7:30 AM to 6 PM on weekdays. While I usually have weekends off, there may be occasions when I have a weekend shift, and I will inform clients in advance. Additionally, I can accommodate clients' pets by fitting in time before and after my work hours. I am committed to providing flexible and reliable care for your pets while balancing my professional responsibilities. Thank you for understanding my schedule! Caring for people's pets is a true passion of mine. I love spending time with all animals and consider them to be like family. Working at a veterinary animal hospital allows me to connect with various pets, and I always make it a priority to give each patient the love and attention they deserve while they are away from their families. Im also good with any emergency situations as my work environment deals with after hours emergencies too!~ To ensure that each pet feels comfortable and engaged, I enjoy spending quality time with them by watching movies, taking them out for walks, or even playing fetch. I believe that every pet needs companionship, care, and understanding. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets feel loved and valued, making their experience as enjoyable as possible.

I am a retired vet with a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. If you prefer sitting in your home I can be there also! 🐶 I grew up with dogs so I am familiar with their needs. Just know I will treat your baby as my own, and they are beyond spoiled. Give us a try your pup will agree 🐩🐕🦮🐕🦺🐶🐾 I work park time so I will have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. I also have 2roomies who also help take care of our furry guest My two are mostly friendly, they love to have new friends.

“Carrie was the first positive experience I’ve had on Rover (I’ve tried three other sitters). She was extremely attentive to my fur babies and even did activities with them. Would definitely recommend and will be using in the future!”


About: I strive to make a real connection with your pet! Flexible and reliable while providing a safe environment. 3 years experience with dogs and 10+ years with cats. I am wiling to work with you in your pet care needs. I am free most mornings and afternoons. Always looking to help you out I don’t have a fenced yard yet. I can care for your pet at my house.

“Ylen did a great job with our last minute booking. We have a full house dogs and cats. There didn’t seem to be any problems and we came home to exhausted dogs. Excellent job!”


“Tracy is wonderful! Her and my dog connected so well. She was also a great guest in our house. She sent pictures everyday and updates. She followed all care instructions for an older dog recovering from knee surgery. I would definitely book her again for future in-house sitting.”


About: Animals deserve genuine care just like us! I’ve been pet sitting for my family & friends for a few years. I’ll care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I understand all animals are different & they all require different attention, patience, play time & care. There’s been pets in our home before I was born, so I always helped my parents out. We’ve had guinea pigs, dogs, cats & rabbits over the years & I loved them all. Later down the line I adopted my own 3 guinea pigs, a girl from my job was giving them away but wanted to keep them all together so of course I had to get them lol. I already had my dog Nyla & she was so curious about them, so when i would feed them veggies or fruit I’d sit in an area where we could all bond together lol. Im new to NC & currently unemployed so I want to use the time I have to provide help to who I can. I use lyft & uber to get around the city. Nyla is an older dog but she still enjoys the company of other dogs. When we’re around smaller pups, she loves to run around & play with them. My neighborhood has plenty of well behaved dogs, & areas for them to stretch those legs & potty. I want to offer reassurance by sending pictures & videos to future clients to put anyone at ease about their fur baby

“Haley stayed with our two pups this Christmas Eve while we were out of town. She was very friendly, communicative and arrived for drop in visits and the overnight stay as agreed upon. She sent pics today and our dogs looked very content with her. We will definitely be using her the next time we need a sitter.”


“Cedrick was absolutely fantastic! He was very communicative and took great care of my dog for the few days I was out of down. I got pictures during every visit and regular updates. It’s such a relief to know that my dog will be well taken care of.”

I have trained my pup to the best of my ability and continue to get compliments about it. I’ve always been passionate about pet care and making pets feel like a member of the family, not an accessory. I’m currently employed by the U.S Army.

“Been with her for almost a decade and within that time she has always been so loving and caring for any animal that she’s met. She even adopts older cats to give them a second chance/loving house hold.
