“Our dog had a great stay with Ashley! He has some anxiety and hates to be left alone, but Ashley gave him the love and attention he needed to feel at ease. She allowed us to bring him over prior to his stay to get a little more comfortable and she always had great communication, sending plenty of pictures while we were gone! Definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Jesse was wonderful is every aspect.. as we are driving down from CT, we had a few questions and she very prompt with her communication. She took care of Sufi very well and he was very happy when we picked him up.”
“Jaclyn had all of her ducks in a row. My first time sitting with her and she answered all of my questions and asked really good questions of her own. I was comfortable that she has planned how to safely and comfortably keep new dogs at her house. Even if they’re of the nervous type like mine. She also kept me updated daily with messages and photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Jaclyn, for taking such great care of Bini.”
“Charlie is the best sitter I have encountered on Rover. The set-up he has for the dogs allow great exercise, monitored socialization and tons of love. I have never had a bad experience with him and will continue to rebook with him for his services. He is extremely flexible and communicative throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“We use Sarah exclusively now and Huck loves going to her house. This stay we had a medical emergency that prevented us from making drop off. Sarah drove out of her way to pick Huck up with it being her suggestion. This was such a huge help to us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found her!!”
“Arlene was everything a petsitter should be…reliant, kind, level-headed and doting. We were visiting New Bern on our boat and had an unexpected trip to take. Knowing nobody in town, we turned to Rover (first-time users) and found Arlene. She was great! Sent photos and an update daily, and was flexible when we had to add an extra day to our trip.”
“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“Chantal was great to help us out when options where running out to watch Waylon. Chantal sent us pictures of Waylon daily having a good time with her dog and a kids pool. During our time out of state we had no stress/concerns on Waylon's care. We will definitely ask Chantal to care for Waylon in the future. 5 stars for Chantal. Jason & Paula”
“Payten was amazing. I will definitely be using her again. It was my baby's first time being with a sitter. He is very reserved and stubborn, but he really warmed up and trusted her. That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”
“Lucy was well taken care of at Renee's. I had peace of mind while I was away and Renee communicated when she needed advice about Lucy. I would recommend Renee for anyone needing a place their dog.”
“Such wonderful animal lovers! I received nightly photos of our dog having the best time on their property. Would recommend them to everyone and will use them again.”
“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”
“Min and Matthew were exceptional sitters for my girl, Rani! Not only did they play with her endlessly (seriously, Rani has zero ability to self-regulate and they went with it!), they also cared for her as their own pup. When she was being finicky about eating, Min took the time to spoon feed her just like I do. Min also send so many pictures and videos, which helped me feel so at peace knowing Rani was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely be sending Rani back to Min and Matthew’s in the future…the 40 minute drive to/from our place is more than worth it!”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Ellen was amazing! She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. Pearl was clearly happy and comfortable; she absolutely loved being on the farm, seeing the other animals, and making new friends. I’ll definitely be booking with Ellen again!”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Hania watched our kitties again and she did an amazing job! One of our older kitties Maybel needs special medicine with each meal and she's great at making sure she gets it! All our kitties love her even one of our shy girls Fiona comes out to see what she's up to when she visits!”
“She was wonderful with my kitties, especially the two who are a lot more shy and prone to hiding. She was consistent, responsive and really seems to enjoy spending time with my kitties.”
“Tiffany has pet sat for us multiple times and we can’t say enough amazing things about her! She went above and beyond for our outside animals during a tough heat wave making sure they stayed cool and were well taken care of.”
“Deann is kind, thoughtful, reliable, and prompt: all things you want in someone taking care of your furbabies in your absence! Our shy cat took to her almost immediately--an impressive feat! She followed our cat's special dietary needs to a T.”
“Payten was amazing. She got great pictures of my cats. Even the outside community cats were coming to see her. My foster kittens were a challenge and ahe handled it beautifully.”
“Amber was incredible with my cat, Gus! She stayed with him while I was gone for a few days and sent me pictures every day! I would 100% have her stay with him again, in fact, I even referred her to my family. So that should tell you something!!”
“This is the first time I have ever written an online review for anything. However, I have decided, in this case, a review is very much warranted. I needed a cat sitter for two trips that were only a few weeks apart. From my first meeting with Heather prior to my first trip to return home after my second trip, I never once worried about the care my cats were receiving. She was an absolute delight to work with. From the very first request to cat sit the communication was phenomenal. I loved that she didn't try to "force" herself onto my shyer cats like so many people try to do. She knew some cats will only accept you on their own terms with their own timeline. Heather was kind enough to roll my trash can to the street for pick up day and move it back to the house afterwards, and she washed up cat dishes even though I told her originally that she didn't have to do that! For those that are looking at costs, yes there are some sitters that have cheaper prices. I am also here to tell you that you will absolutely not regret booking Heather for your pet care needs. You will not worry if you know she is in charge of your fur babies. She does not treat pet sitting as a nice side job to make extra money. Heather knows she is responsible for members of your family and she takes that job very seriously. I will absolutely use Heather again in the future, as long as she is able and willing as well. Thank you, Heather!”
“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”
“Corrinna was watching our four babies for the first time and she went above and beyond what we expected to keep them safe and happy! We have four cats and three of them prefer to be outside as they came to us as strays. Since it was so cold the week we were away she tried her best to keep them in, even going out another door to close the door that has a cat door in it.. lol I thought that was a great idea. She worried and took care of them like her own including lots of pics to ease our mind. We will definitely be asking Corrinna again to watch the kids!”
About: I've been caring for friends' cats several times each year, providing dependable daily care including feeding, administering both liquid and pill medications, cleaning litter boxes, and following individualized feeding routines using both manual and automatic feeders.
“Suki was great doing drop ins with my two cats, Mischa and Charlie. She listened to my instructions and gave my needy cats all the attention and love they would allow. I will definitely rebook - so thankful to have access to trustworthy sitters as a paranoid cat mom!!”
“Christina sent daily updates to let us know how Zoey was doing. Everything seemed to go great while we were gone and when we came home everything was in place and Zoey was a happy girl. Thanks Christina!”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“Natalie is fantastic! Very communicative and I could tell from the questions she asked that she was going to provide great care to my cats on her drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely rebook!”

“Charlie has been great with Sami! He sends photos and videos to calm any concerns I might have about leaving my sweet pup in daycare. I am confident Sami is in good hands when she visits Charlie and his family. Thanks for taking great care of my Sami!”
“We knew the minute Heidi met us at the door for our Meet and Greet with Tux, our 13-year old Bichon-Poodle, that we had found the perfect sitter. Tux felt right at home wagging his tail at her kids and Moochie, her Golden Retriever. He sniffed around, as all dogs do, and made his way outside to explore in their fenced-in backyard. We had total peace of mind leaving Tux in her care. She updated us throughout the day with pictures of the kids snuggling and playing with him. We will look no where else when we need someone to care for Tux. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to find the sweetest caregiver for your beloved pets.”
“We absolutely adore Jaclyn! My dog is only with her one day a week for daycare but I have noticed such a significant improvement in her mood. She is much happier and when I pick her up from Jaclyn I can see the sparkle in her eyes again 🥰”
“I would highly recommend Lejune for your pet sitting needs. She communicates well, sends lots of pictures and videos, and from the first interaction, I could tell that Bella would be in good hands. I will be continuing services with her indefinitely.”

“We are new with Renee, Kuro has been consistently going in for day care for the past 3 weeks and I must say he has a blast. He is happy to go there, gets to play with other pups. Renee is patient and very attentive. She accommodates requests and also goes that extra mile to care for our pup. Thank you Renee.”
“Extremely happy with Tavin as Max’s puppycarer. He Had such a good time and it’s a shame we left the area otherwise we would use her on a regular basis. Very kind and friendly carer. Max was asleep minutes after getting in the car.”
“My dog had a fabulous time with Kim! She was warm and friendly from the start, and her beautiful house and backyard made my dog feel comfortable and right at home. She even took him to the park, which he loved! Kim was communicative, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“First off, Nadia is the sweetest! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and by speaking with her you learn she has our dog’s best interest at heart. We wanted daycare on days we both worked overnight and Nadia is very flexible. This was Daisy first ever day/time away from us and we woke up to so many updates and pictures….not sure how we got so lucky.”
“Leah helped me feel calmer about leaving my new puppy with her during the days I have to be at work. Jasper was relaxed when I came to pick him up and excited to see her son, whose been helping with care, when I dropped him off today.”

About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
“Lindsey provided outstanding twice daily care, feeding and walks for our two pups for three weeks while we were on an extended vacation. Lindsey is super knowledgeable and personable and took care of our pups like they were her own. We were absolutely delighted with her services and wholeheartedly recommend her and will use her services again as the need arises.”
“Hania does an excellent job with my Malory. Would highly recommend others use her services. She takes beautiful pictures of my pet while I am away and also makes sure her food and water are topped off. Our cat has also grown fond of her.”
“Going away, always stresses me out leaving my dog. I was able to go away and relax knowing Corrinna was helping with my dog. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
About: I have two dogs of my own. My older dog, Ive raised from puppy to dog and give oral meds to him daily. My younger dog, I took over caring for from my parents but he is the best addition to my home. I have cared for dogs in the past for my parents, friends and others dog owners when they go out of town. I am experienced with all dog types and would love to meet your pet! I love to get outside with my dogs after work, either playing fetch or eating bubbles! I would love to do the same with your pets. I have watched both peoples houses and pets while they have been on vacation so you don't need to worry about either when you are away from your pets. I can also take care of any house plants and other types of pets as well!
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”
About: I've always been around animals. Whether it was family pets or animals I showed in FFA, I've always had animals near and dear to my heart. Currently I'm working part time and have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I'm available for house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking (they can help me get my 10,000 steps in) I understand all things routine involving fur babies, I can walk them when needed, play and take care of them so you have peace of mind while you're out.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I look out for them. I believe exercise is critical. I care about their comfort and nutrition, including constant fresh water! I like to have notes on personalities and habits of the dogs I care for so as to help the animal feel comfortable. I prefer dogs that have been crate trained or trained for healthy habits. A crate is a necessary tool and a dog should feel safe in a crate. If I need to step out for any reason, your dog will be put in a crate for their safety (or your preferred method). Favorite toys and bedding is encouraged. Please know that your dog is safe and cared for while in my supervision. I'm home most of the day with the exception of a few hours(3-3 1/2) so, your dog will have my attention and care! Besides, all dogs need naps, right? :-) Holiday rates will apply to all of my services. Mostly retired. Why not use my time to care for wonderful animals? I currently have 3 cats. My dogs are gone but not forgotten, r.i.p. ♥ I have a fenced yard and a cat-tio. Safety is utmost important to me while caring for animals. Trust me, I care immensely. No worries.
About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed.

Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.

“Our dog had a great stay with Ashley! He has some anxiety and hates to be left alone, but Ashley gave him the love and attention he needed to feel at ease. She allowed us to bring him over prior to his stay to get a little more comfortable and she always had great communication, sending plenty of pictures while we were gone! Definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Jaclyn had all of her ducks in a row. My first time sitting with her and she answered all of my questions and asked really good questions of her own. I was comfortable that she has planned how to safely and comfortably keep new dogs at her house. Even if they’re of the nervous type like mine. She also kept me updated daily with messages and photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Jaclyn, for taking such great care of Bini.”
“Charlie is the best sitter I have encountered on Rover. The set-up he has for the dogs allow great exercise, monitored socialization and tons of love. I have never had a bad experience with him and will continue to rebook with him for his services. He is extremely flexible and communicative throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“We use Sarah exclusively now and Huck loves going to her house. This stay we had a medical emergency that prevented us from making drop off. Sarah drove out of her way to pick Huck up with it being her suggestion. This was such a huge help to us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found her!!”
“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“Chantal was great to help us out when options where running out to watch Waylon. Chantal sent us pictures of Waylon daily having a good time with her dog and a kids pool. During our time out of state we had no stress/concerns on Waylon's care. We will definitely ask Chantal to care for Waylon in the future. 5 stars for Chantal. Jason & Paula”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”
“Calvin seemed to be very happy staying with you and happy also to come home. We feel comfortable leaving him here when we need someone to watch him. Thank you for being available and taking good care of him. Would recommend.”
“Lucy was well taken care of at Renee's. I had peace of mind while I was away and Renee communicated when she needed advice about Lucy. I would recommend Renee for anyone needing a place their dog.”

“Such wonderful animal lovers! I received nightly photos of our dog having the best time on their property. Would recommend them to everyone and will use them again.”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She takes our puppy Gary almost every week while I'm at work. She's so flexible with drop off and pick up times, and is always willing to work with me. We're so lucky she's close by!”
“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”

“May and Ally were excellent sitters for our two dogs while we went away on vacation. They are warm and welcoming everytime we interacted and my dogs were accepted into their family with open arms. We received multiple photos per day of their activities and were notified if anything came up. Thank you Nat and Ally for taking such wonderful care of my dogs we will definitely use you again when we're need to board our dogs.”
