Teddy and Rumi absolutely love Ms. Karen and her family! She is very flexible, reliable, and truly cares for them as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing they are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Karen provides updates and makes sure their needs are met, which means so much to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. We are so grateful to have found her!

Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!

If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.

Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.

About: I have always had dogs and cats personally, and am now fortunate enough to have a nice backyard to share with other non-aggressive dog friends. I am a clinicial social worker who works from home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me time to take care of the animals. I wish I had a picture of when I am settled on the couch for the evening and all four of my pets are surrounding me. I love them and will love your animals with all of my heart. If you are looking for a pet-sitter, I am sure you feel the same way.

About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals. I am empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive to various needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away. I have owned a variety of pets over the years, including snakes, cats, and dogs, which has given me experience with different temperaments, animal species, and care needs. I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.

About: Born into a dog-loving family, Breanna has been surrounded by canine companions since childhood. Now, with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs, she has carved out a reputation as a dedicated and attentive pet sitter. Breanna's first Rover booking in November 2023 marked the start of her professional pet-sitting journey, and she has since welcomed repeat clients, including her own mother's dogs. As a proud dog owner herself, Breanna brings a unique understanding and passion to her house-sitting services, ensuring her four-legged charges receive the utmost care and attention. I'm currently helping my sister potty her two dogs once a day at noon mon-fir. So your babies are not being left alone only for a little bit. And they get my undivided attention they need I love working and spending time with your babies. I would make sure to always walk your baby on a Leash if there is no fenced in backyard or make sure gates are locked if you do and to make sure your baby is taken care of when you're away

I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.

About: I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long. I am home most days, except when I am hosting 3-hour board games at the local library and rec center. Otherwise, I take care of our house and rental properties.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, giving me about 20 years of experience. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am confident with playful puppies, calm senior pets, and even shy or anxious animals.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

Our experience was outstanding! Amanda was very kind and accommodating to us and took great care of our sheepadoodle while we went to a tennis tournament in Hickory. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog throughout the day to show how much fun she was having. They have a fantastic shaded fenced in yard where our dog was able to run around and play. We cannot be happier with our experience and will absolutely take her back the next time we have to be away.

About: 🐾 Lifelong Pet Lover | Rescue Dog & Cat Parent I’ve had pets my entire life and truly believe every animal deserves patience, love, and a safe environment. I’m currently a proud pet parent to a 1-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix whom I rescued from a difficult situation, along with two cats—one of whom I also rescued. I’ve personally crate-trained and potty-trained my dog, worked with her on basic skills and obedience, and helped her become comfortable and well-socialized around both people and other animals. Having rescue pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, understanding, and paying attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Your pets won’t just be “another booking” to me—I’ll treat them like family. ❤️ 🐾 Flexible Schedule | Plenty of Time for Your Pets My schedule is mainly open and flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. The only regular time I reserve is Sunday mornings for church. ❤️ 🐾 How I Care for My Pets I keep my dog Reesie on a consistent feeding routine with unlimited fresh water. My cats also have unlimited food and water and are used to self-regulating their eating habits. We spend plenty of time together—whether we’re playing in the backyard, relaxing in the living room, or going on walks around my safe, quiet neighborhood. I believe pets thrive with consistency, attention, exercise, and lots of love. ❤️

About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals. I am empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive to various needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away. I have owned a variety of pets over the years, including snakes, cats, and dogs, which has given me experience with different temperaments, animal species, and care needs. I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 30 years, starting with pet sitting for neighbors when I was in elementary school. While attending college in Raleigh, I expanded my pet sitting work and cared for multiple families with a wide range of pets and personalities. Before moving back to this area, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I provided daily exercise, supervised play, administered medications—including insulin injections—and made sure each dog felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pet dependable care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means a walk, playtime, a midday potty break, or extra patience with senior pets, I treat every animal with the same kindness and attentiveness I’d want for my own. I understand that every pet has a different routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my daytime schedule is flexible and easy to plan around. My weekly routine is generally very consistent, which means I know my availability well in advance and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and midday care without last-minute surprises. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m able to step away for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or medication visits while still keeping a reliable schedule for both pets and their owners. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding in my home, but I take caring for pets in their own environment seriously. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. I always make sure doors are secure, water bowls are fresh, and pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. I also pay attention to small details—cleaning up any messes, checking that toys are safe, and moving anything that could pose a risk (for example, a torn stuffed toy that could be chewed apart). One of the best compliments I’ve received from a client came after a week-long house sit: they told me, “It never even looked like you were here.” That’s exactly the experience I aim to provide—reliable, attentive care for your pet, and complete peace of mind for you.

At Denney’s Den, dogs enjoy doggy Airbnb-style stays in my home- a calm, cozy, low-stress environment where they’re treated like family and given personalized attention while away from their hoomans. I also offer drop-in visits in your home, ensuring your pets receive consistent, compassionate care in the space they’re most comfortable. Since retiring from healthcare, caring for animals has become my full-time work. I am home most days, allowing me to provide hands-on attention, supervision, and a calm, structured routine for the pets in my care. My home offers a calm, safe environment with a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I intentionally limit the number of boarding dogs so each pet receives personalized attention. Crating is used only if preferred by the owner. For drop-in visits, I take great care to respect your home while ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine.

We highly recommend Donald. He is Duke’s favorite sitter. Donald takes excellent care of our labradoodle and is extremely responsive. We appreciate the pictures and twice daily updates. We will continue to be a repeat customer.

If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.

Tonya took excellent care of my diabetic cat for 10 days. She gave her the shots that she needed and sent me pictures and let her have her own space to stay in. Tonya lives on a nice farm with other animals around and she is a total professional. Very glad we met you, Tonya!

She is wonderful! I got multiple pictures and videos a day. The babies had so much fun and I knew they were in good hands. I will be using Natalie again whenever we go out of town.

Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.

Ginia and her family were so great in caring for Gerty. They sent regular updates and photos. When I picked up Gerty I could tell she was genuinely happy and completely exhausted, which is the best assurance I could’ve asked for! I would absolutely use Ginia again. Book with confidence!

About: I have always had dogs and cats personally, and am now fortunate enough to have a nice backyard to share with other non-aggressive dog friends. I am a clinicial social worker who works from home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me time to take care of the animals. I wish I had a picture of when I am settled on the couch for the evening and all four of my pets are surrounding me. I love them and will love your animals with all of my heart. If you are looking for a pet-sitter, I am sure you feel the same way.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own currently one is 8 and one is 10. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. i work 5 days a week less than 40 hours and i’m taking care of animals when im on and off the clock so it seems fitting to become a sitter and walker:) I live in a home with an unfenced 2 acre yard. we have a runner in case the dog isn’t leash or off leash trained.

Cosmo had a few of his happiest days with Jessica, Doug and their family. He bonded with their pups and got to play chase and football on their spacious property. He’s already asking to hang out with Sky and George, their two pups, again! Jessica and Doug went out of their way to keep me updated with pictures. I felt at ease the whole time.

I booked this boarding stay last-minute, after our initial pet care plan fell through, but it really couldn’t have worked out better! Valentine and her family were so great with my pup, Rocky. They kept her safe and busy while my husband and I participated in a friend’s wedding festivities. I felt confident leaving Rocky with Valentine, and I would definitely book again if ever back in the area. She’s caring and knows what she’s doing with animals, for sure.

Kahlynn was an amazing host for my 14 week old puppy. She had several dogs for him to play with that seemed to keep him busy and sleeping well at night. She sent lots of fun photos and videos and he seemed to have a blast. I’d definitely recommend her and will be a repeat customer.

Excellent experience. Amanda and her family were very accommodating, communicated with us every day on how our Shelby girl was doing. They went above and beyond for this overly protective dog Mom! Highly recommend.

Lori is the best! She agreed to watch my dog last minute for an overnight stay an hour before I got there! I am SO grateful. I will definitely book again! :)

About: I’ve owned or taken care of dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family are very comfortable calling on me to care for their dogs. Currently, I am fully retired and miss my own little fur baby. I would love to snuggle and care for your dog. My hours are very flexible to suit your needs. I regularly walk dogs out doors and give them much attention. In my neighborhood all dogs will be kept on a leash as per the law.
