“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Grace was wonderful with our two babies, she was very friendly and responsible. She took plenty of pictures, videos and sent messages updating us on how they were doing. We could tell they were enjoying their stay which really helped us feel better as this was our first time being apart! We will definitely be using her services again and we highly recommend her for anyone with dogs or puppies. Thanks the Rose family!”
“Anna was wonderful! She offered to have us over to meet with our dog Lola before she stayed there for our trip. All the dogs she has get along great and it was nice to see Lola have some playmates while we were gone. Anna sent pictures of Lola and kept us updated. I definitely will be using her again.”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Candice is truly the best! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She is clean, reliable, and incredibly thorough in her care. I especially appreciate the detailed daily reports she provides, it’s so reassuring to know how my pup’s day went. Her upbeat personality and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Candice is the one.”
“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”
“Tyra did a wonderful job with River. This was our first time using Tyra for boarding and would definitely use her again. She took pictures and kept me in the loop. River had a blast with Tyra and all the dogs there too!”
“Joaquin watched my 8 month old Rottweiler, Papa again and it was 10/10! I got frequent updates and never had to worry if my pup was getting the attention and love he needed! Joaquin is great!”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Edgar was such a blessing for me and my husband he did such an amazing job with Jonah. He was very professional and locked in with the care and well being of Jonah stay . We greatly appreciated him and his support and family. Looking forward to having Edgar taken care of Jonah and building a friendship and bond for the both of us . God bless you and I know God blessed you with an amazing gift to care for dogs , keep doing what you love and is great at .”
“Wonderful experience, great communication. Our quirky little Bugg had a blast and came home happy, healthy, and well exercised. It was our first time leaving him with non-family and Amber & boys put our minds at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Laci loved staying here! She didn’t seem at all anxious and seemed like she could have stayed longer when I picked her up. This was the first time Laci stayed not with a family me ever and they made it super easy for us both! Would definitely book again!”
“Stephanie and Matthew were super easy to communicate with. Our Rose had a wonderful doggie vacation and had other pups to play with to help get some of her energy out. They have a great backyard for Rose to run and play.”
“Adoni has watched our pup many times for one and two week periods. We have complete confidence in her . Our little Yorkie has come to love and enjoy spending time with Adoni. We are always getting notes and pics sent to us while we are away and have come to consider her a good friend”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter! From the get go she was able to get my normally nervous rescue feeling comfortable. And also made me feeling comfortable leaving for with a sitter after recently relocating to the greater Raleigh area. Lauren was extremely responsive, gave me a tour of her property (with a spacious and gated outdoor area) and shared daily photo and text updates. I’ll absolutely be recommending her to all dog owners, and feel so fortunate to have found a great boarding option for my pup!”

“This is the second time we have trusted Grace with our cat and she was great! She sent pictures of our cat each day and little notes to tell us how the cat was doing! We’ll definitely book with Grace again!”
“Cynthia went above and beyond. Our cats were in good care while my husband and I were away. Cynthia cared for them as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable and kind. I fully recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Grateful for Deb’s care for our cat while we were away for a week. Despite our cat being rather anti-social and always hiding from new people, she always had a picture of our cat to share with us when she visited which was great! She left our cat’s space neat and tidy too.”
“Gemma has taken care of our 3 kitties for us a few times now and she does a great job every time! She sends wonderful updates and pictures while we’re away and always follows any instructions we leave and even does any extra bits that pop up!”
“Destini is always communicative and helpful when it comes to our kitties and their care. They love her so much and wait for her by the door. Thank you so much for all that you do!”
About: I was raised around cats and dogs since before I could walk, I absolutely adore animals however at the moment it unfortunately doesn’t make sense to get pets of my own. That’s why I love taking care of other people’s pets! Prior to making this account on Rover, I volunteered at an animal shelter and have dog sat/walked for friends and family and completely fell in love with this line of line of work. I’ll happily play fetch or take your dog on a hike. I’d love to brush out your cat’s coat and entertain them with toys. I have experience making frozen enrichment activities for the shelter dogs as well. I would love to meet your furry family and sincerely promise they will be cared for with the love and respect that family members deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, I’m practically going to be there when you need me with in reason of course. Just about anything in my life can be moved around to accommodate you if I have enough notice. Things always come up and life is unpredictable so as long as we are both understanding of that for each other all will be well. Give me your rule book for your pets and I will follow it. I love going on walking trails so if you felt comfortable with your dog leaving the home I’d be ecstatic to take them on an adventure. Like I’ve said before, your pets will be treated as my family. I will advocate for your animals and protect them in every way that I can.
“Adoni watched my cat Milo for a couple days and loved her! She was really good with her communication and made me feel comfortable with her watching him. She answered all my questions in quick responses and he sent photos/videos and kept me updated on him!”
“We had a great experience with Daysi dropping in on our 10month old cat while we were away for a long weekend. Daysi consistently sent photos during her visits. :)”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Lauren was great! Our dog absolutely loved her, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon. She is very sweet, and we know that our dog is in good hands with her while we are away.”
“Kathryn is very professional, kind, and truly loves my cat when she’s there. I feel very safe with her having access to my house and trust her to take good care of my cat while i’m away. She’s timely, communicative, and just a lovely human.”
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my hands-on experience with cats at every stage of life, from playful kittens to senior cats needing gentle, attentive care. Growing up on a farm gave me daily experience reading animal behavior, understanding subtle changes, and responding calmly and confidently to their needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, or independent cats who may need patience and a quiet approach to feel safe. I also have experience with young kittens, including bottle feeding and providing extra support during early development. I understand that cats thrive on routine, so I prioritize maintaining their feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and preferred environments exactly as they’re used to. Most importantly, I don’t just “check in” on cats — I take time to build trust at their pace, respect their space, and ensure they feel secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive reliable updates so you always know your cat is comfortable and cared for.
“Justin did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties Phoenix and Cici while we were away! He was extremely professional, communicative, and very thoughtful. 5 stars all around!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for about 5 years. I currently have a 4 year old Aussie border collie mix who has reactivity issues and is very timid so i have taken training classes on how to work with a dog in situations like that. i also grew up in a house with multiple different sizes and breeds of dogs. I work part time at a restaurant in town and have a dog of my own but i do understand what it’s like to need some time away and make sure your pup is in trusted hands. I live on alittle over an acre with a cattle dog who is very high energy. we go on 3 4 mile walks a week and he is able to come and go from the house whenever he pleases. He is crate trained and he is on a strict feeding schedule. I get him groomed once a month and regular vet visits for up to date shots.
“We couldn't be happier with the care our seven cats received from Erika! She visited twice a day from Wednesday through Saturday, handling feedings, litter boxes, and most importantly, spending an hour each visit keeping everyone company. Managing a large group of cats is no small feat, but she handled it beautifully and gave us total peace of mind while we were away for our son's wedding. She is reliable, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. We highly recommend her and will absolutely look to book her again!”

“A great first experience using Rover! Our Finley had the best time, playing and being loved on. What a warm and inviting family, sent lots of pictures and videos. They even gave our pup a bath after they got into some mud. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!! ❤️”
“Zydae was great with my puppy. She agreed to watch her on short notice and provided pics and videos throughout the day of my girl. I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“Grace was amazing! Highly recommend, my dog had other dogs to play with he’s a big puppy so he loves dogs. She was communicating perfectly and was ready to go upon drop off and pick up. Looking forward to another day with Grace when back in the area.”
“This was a last minute book and we couldn’t be more pleased. Sarah was great communicating with me since my schedule changed after booking and Cotde was so well taken care of. We will definitely use them again.”
“It was my pup’s first time with a sitter. He’s usually nervous around new people. But not here, he was peppy and playful coming home. The next time going he ran right in like a reunion with old pals. Very impressed.”
“Tara has been incredible not only for Mr. Loki but for myself as well. He was excited to meet her even on our meet and greet before we started care and was immediately comfortable with her and her other dogs who are sweethearts as well. He’s been over there for a couple of weeks, but in that time, I’ve dropped him off and picked him up with the biggest smile on his face. She’s helped a lot with training as well since he’s my first dog I’ve had and he’s doing really well with that both at her home and at mine as I learn proper commands too. Communicates very thoroughly with me on how he was throughout the day, what he learned, and his overall behavior and she’s very attentive to care instructions. I couldn’t be happier with her care and honestly wish we found her earlier!”
“Mary is the best!!! She is so sweet, and took great care of Millie. They went on walks and played fetch. She kept me updated, and took lots of great photos!! My dog was so happy with her, thank you again!!”
“Thank you so much for a great first day with Kona! From the looks of all the pictures, it looks like she really enjoyed herself. It was such a a relief to be able to leave her knowing she was in great hands! We look forward to Kona having more playtime in the future. I will recommend you to all my friends looking for pet care.”

Inside, they’ll have cozy spaces to rest, toys to play with, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space where routines are followed to help your pet feel comfortable and secure.
“Cici loved going to Kelly's! She was wagging her tail and (annoyingly) jumping all over the place for daycare a few days after the meet and greet. She got to play with another dog about her size. Cici was ASLEEP a couple hours after I brought her home. She hardly ever settles on her own! I will definitely be bringing Cici back to Kelly's!”
“This was Olive's first doggie daycare experience in someone's home. She was very nervous but Shamira was patient with her and let Olive warm up to her in her own time. She even took her on a walk!”
“Just like before, Jenna and Shane took great care of Gus. They were very accommodating for us on a last minute booking. He was happy when we picked him up and seemed like he played all day with their pups. We will continue to book them for future stays!”

“Brittney was wonderful with my dogs. She was great at communicating promptly and she made sure to always consider them. I really appreciated the service she provided and would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: Growing up as a farm girl taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, shy pets, senior animals, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for young animals, including bottle feeding kittens and providing extra attention to pets that need specialized care. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their routines, behaviors, and comfort so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, so I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care every time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my multiple part-time jobs because I’ve learned how to stay organized, reliable, and flexible with my time. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I intentionally plan ahead so I can give each pet sitting visit my full attention and consistency. Because my jobs are part-time, I have built-in availability during mornings, evenings, and flexible gaps in the day that allow me to provide dependable check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’m careful about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to without rushing or cutting corners. Pet sitting is something I genuinely prioritize in my routine — it’s not just extra work, it’s time I set aside to care for animals, give them attention, and make sure pet parents feel confident and updated while they’re away. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for you and what your pet is most comfortable with. In your home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If care takes place in my home, your pet will be in a calm, safe, and supervised environment where they receive the same level of attention and routine-based care. I make sure they have a comfortable space, regular outdoor breaks or playtime, and a low-stress setting that feels secure and welcoming. I limit distractions and other animals as needed so each pet gets proper individual care. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands.
About: Ive been around pets all my life! I started raising dogs when I was 11 and have helped friends and nieghbors with their dogs and cats since I was 15. Tasks have ranged from small check-ins with pets, to staying overnight to keep them company. Right now I work at a local food pantry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sundays are also a busy day for me, but I can be very flexible and move times around with enough notice. I have one black short haired cat that I spend most of my time with. She stays indoors, but I let her come out on my back deck to get some air and a better view of the birds and chipmunks she always has beef with. She's the most hyperactive and persnicity cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, so I'm experienced with cats who have their own ways of playing.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and I could not imagine my life without stopping to pet every dog I see. Animals truly bring peace and excitement to the world. I would love to take your dog for a stroll or check in on your guard cat. Check ins are one of my favorite things to do. I can bathe, brush, clean up after, take them out, change litter. I can also clean up around the house if requested. I can also take your companion to the vet if need be.
About: With over five years of hands-on experience in animal care and kennel work, I’m passionate about providing the best for our furry friends. Currently, I work at a veterinary office, where I continue to deepen my knowledge and skills. I'm always on the lookout for training opportunities to enhance my expertise and ensure every pet receives top-notch care. I truly believe that a happy pet makes for a happy owner, and I’m dedicated to making that happen! I maintain a flexible work schedule, allowing me to ensure that pets are let out a minimum of three times a day—or more as needed. I am dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care to meet each pet's individual needs. Based on my experience, I prioritize caring for pets in the safety of their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. This environment not only reduces stress but also fosters a sense of trust. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of each pet and am always ready to adapt my services to meet their needs, providing reliable support tailored to each client’s preferences.
About: I have had pets all my life and love taking care of them, I’ve also dog sat and taken dogs out before for people close to me I just graduated and am looking for ways to get out of the house and make some extra money, I love to just get out of the house for even just an hour of the day! I love walking pets or letting them outside in the yard, I also like to play fetch with them and of course relaxing is good also!
“Gemma was absolutely flawless. All my animals, who are quite timid, trusted her immediately! Will definitely use her again I knew if she was there everyone was in good hands!! I really appreciate her and her kindness”
“Grace was an absolute lifesaver! Bella had a previous walker booked through the rover website, however after leaving my dog in the house alone for hours I immediately began to seek a new replacement. Grace was able to come the same night and walk Bella. I was highly impressed and definitely recommend her to others.”
About: Many family friends have left their dogs in my care, mainly overnight. I’ve gotten very comfortable looking after high energy breeds and being attentive to their needs. I’ve owned a cat myself in the past! My primary job has relatively light and flexible hours. That flexibility allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Early mornings and late nights will almost always be available for bookings. When I accept a booking, I make sure I can genuinely commit to it so every pet receives consistent attention and companionship throughout my time. I treat both the space and the fur baby with the same respect and responsibility I would expect someone to show mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality while also making sure they receive any specific care they’re already used to. I try to leave homes better condition in then I arrived, and I believe reliable communication helps provide peace of mind for any client that so desires. My goal will always be for clients to come home to something relaxing.
About: I’ve been petsitting for dogs and cats ever since I was younger for family friends. I’m currently studying Animal Care in college, I love all sorts of animals and love caring for them! I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, including taking them on walks, feeding and giving lots of attention! I am dependable, patient and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while their parents are away. Right now I dogsit for my job! I have full availability so I can give your pets unlimited attention and lots of affection. My schedule is very flexible so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets! :) I’m happy to take your dog on walks, feeding them at their regular times and playing with them lots too of course! I try to keep your pets routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and family life. I am a single mom to my active 14-year-old son, who shares my love for animals. We both enjoy spending time with pets, and caring for animals is something that is already a meaningful part of our everyday lives. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and they are an important part of our family. I am committed to making sure every pet in my care receives the exercise, affection, companionship, and individual attention they need. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.

“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Grace was wonderful with our two babies, she was very friendly and responsible. She took plenty of pictures, videos and sent messages updating us on how they were doing. We could tell they were enjoying their stay which really helped us feel better as this was our first time being apart! We will definitely be using her services again and we highly recommend her for anyone with dogs or puppies. Thanks the Rose family!”
“Anna was wonderful! She offered to have us over to meet with our dog Lola before she stayed there for our trip. All the dogs she has get along great and it was nice to see Lola have some playmates while we were gone. Anna sent pictures of Lola and kept us updated. I definitely will be using her again.”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”
“Tyra did a wonderful job with River. This was our first time using Tyra for boarding and would definitely use her again. She took pictures and kept me in the loop. River had a blast with Tyra and all the dogs there too!”
“Joaquin watched my 8 month old Rottweiler, Papa again and it was 10/10! I got frequent updates and never had to worry if my pup was getting the attention and love he needed! Joaquin is great!”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Laci loved staying here! She didn’t seem at all anxious and seemed like she could have stayed longer when I picked her up. This was the first time Laci stayed not with a family me ever and they made it super easy for us both! Would definitely book again!”
“Stephanie and Matthew were super easy to communicate with. Our Rose had a wonderful doggie vacation and had other pups to play with to help get some of her energy out. They have a great backyard for Rose to run and play.”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter! From the get go she was able to get my normally nervous rescue feeling comfortable. And also made me feeling comfortable leaving for with a sitter after recently relocating to the greater Raleigh area. Lauren was extremely responsive, gave me a tour of her property (with a spacious and gated outdoor area) and shared daily photo and text updates. I’ll absolutely be recommending her to all dog owners, and feel so fortunate to have found a great boarding option for my pup!”
“Our pups love staying at Jenna and Shane’s. They take such amazing care of our dogs and keep us posted daily on how they are doing. Highly recommend and we are so glad we found them!”
“We are so lucky to have found Lisa. We are THOSE dog parents. Maggie and Jasper are great hosts. Tabitha loves sharing her toys. Thank you Lisa. We will have a trip in a few months when Tabitha would love to visit.”
“Tina took such wonderful care of my dog, Ruby, over the weekend! From the moment we dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Tina was incredibly attentive and kept me updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which meant so much while we were away. Ruby also had the best time with Tina’s dog, Charlie. They became fast friends right away, which made the whole experience even better. It’s clear Tina truly loves and cares for the dogs she watches. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you so much, Tina, for taking such amazing care of Ruby!”
“Taylor is amazing! She took such a good care of Canelo while I was at work, her dog Rêve played with him all day. It was wonderful to come home and have him tired out and happy.”
“Rhett and Sadie stayed a weekend here for the second time and they loved it! Just like last time, we picked them up and could tell they were happy and relaxed and right at home! The sitters are great communicators and we highly recommend them to anyone!”
