“Ashley and the entire family took such great care of our fur baby. We had absolutely no worries. We received pictures and updates every day. I looked forward to receiving the latest update on our little princess at least two times a day. We are so glad we found such a loving family that truly cares for your pet as if they are theirs. We will definitely book with them again! Thanks again to the entire family from all of us💕!!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Kordula and family took our pup into their home and treated her like one of their family. She sent pictures every day and we felt so happy and comfortable with her staying there. She was amazing!”
“Tania is amazing! She sent us pictures of our dog all weekend and made us feel so comfortable. Birdie got many many many walks and playtime and she was wiped when we picked her up! Absolutely recommend Tania and we will definitely have Birdie stay with her family again!”
“Crystal is professional, friendly and responsive. My dog Stella took an immediate liking to Crystal’s home. I felt confident that Crystal would take good care of her. I would definitely use Crystal’s services again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Bruno received during his stay with Lesley and her sweet family! This was his second stay, and the moment we dropped him off, he was so excited to see Lesley. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Lesley followed every instruction we provided and made sure Bruno stayed on his normal routine. We also loved receiving photo updates twice a day, every day, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It honestly felt like he was on his own vacation! It’s clear that Lesley and her family genuinely care for the pets they watch, and we are so grateful for the excellent care and communication. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you Lesley & family!!”
“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”
“We had a great experience with Sarah! She kept us updated with lovely photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. She’s very friendly, caring, and professional. Pumpkin was clearly in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future.”
“Erica took amazing care of our pup for six nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. Our dog was absolutely spoiled with attention and care. We are so grateful to Erica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Wilson had the best time hanging with his Rover buddies over the holiday. We could tell pretty quickly from the daily updates and pictures that our dog was comfortable and having lots of fun. We highly recommend Kirsten!!”
“David was awesome. We had a one day trial with absolutely no issues. We felt very comfortable leaving our beloved dog. Can’t wait for the next stay over for Scout.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“They took great care of our dog, Aries. Got updates and pictures throughout his stay. He got lots of cuddles and walks, and came home looking very happy. Will definitely use them again!”
“Mary and Jonathan (and their daughter!) took great care of our dog! We had a lovely meet & greet where they asked thoughtful questions and made me feel reassured when dropping her off. During our dog's stay, we received frequent updates and was clear she was being taken great care of. We'll definitely reach out again for future trips!”
“My 2 girls had a great week with Alison. They were well cared for and she sent me updates everyday. I couldn’t have asked for more. I will definitely ask her to keep Noe and Shiloh again. Thank you, Alison!”

About: I have been a cat owner for many years and genuinely love animals. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have also helped friends with dog boarding and pet sitting, including feeding, walking, and basic care. I am responsible, calm, and attentive to each pet’s needs.
“She was truly a blessing watching our cat I can’t rave about her enough. She really listens to the needs of my cat and applies them all. When looking for a cat sitter I wanted someone who would not only feed her and change her litter box I wanted somebody that would bond with my cat and she went beyond that she sent me pictures and videos the entire week I was away I am giving her a rave review five stars”
“She has watched my cat twice now and does amazing with her. I can tell my cat doesn’t like leaving haha. She takes great care and does amazing updating me on how she’s doing”
“This is the second rebook I believe. As usual, Stephanie is punctual, communicative, and she leaves river cards with detailed pictures & videos. My boys love her, and I already have another booking with her soon.”
“This is the longest amount of time Monica has sat for us and it was splendid, as usual! My partner and I really enjoy her updates, and we can see from the pictures our cats are happy. I also appreciate that she brings in the mail for us and sometimes takes our garbage out!”
“Maria saved the day! Our cats needed caring for on a very short notice, and luckily she was available and super accommodating! She goes above and beyond and the cats love her <3”
“Scott did a great job keeping our senior cat company while we were away! She loved the attention and was very happy when we returned. We will definitely plan to re-book Scott in the future.”
“Wendy has been a great sitter for our cat on multiple occasions. She just finished 2 weeks of daily drop-ins and kept us updated with photos each day, which gave us great piece of mind. Thank you!”
“Karen was great! Watched our (2) cats with a very quick short notice. Gave us updates, brought in our mail, and did a final walkthrough/sweep before they left. We will be using her services again.”
“Pamela was amazing with our cat Hachi!! He got a respiratory infection the week before we left and she was willing to come more often to give him medicine. She was also attentive and alerted me when his coughing got worse and brought him to the emergency room. It was a 3+ hour ordeal and she was graceful throughout and super thorough and informative to make sure we had all the information we needed!! She treats all animals like they are her own and she is the best!! If I could give higher than a 5 star I would☺️”
“Jessie is fantastic with our kitties and has the added tasks of feeding our outdoor animals (birds, fish, squirrels, and deer). She is reliable about getting those feeders filled every morning and keeping out kitties on their feeding/cuddling schedules. I definitely recommend her!”
“Cynthia was amazing and words are not enough for the help she extended to us above and beyond what was expected. Our oldest cat started showing signs of a heat stroke the night before we were traveling internationally. The next morning he was not in good shape and we had a flight to catch. Cynthia was not even scheduled to start until the next day but we had no one else to reach out to ( we were 2 weeks new to North Carolina!). She was there for us and took our cat to the emergency center and waited there for a couple of hours, working with the staff there and keeping us posted while we made our way to the airport. She kept us updated daily and we could not have asked for anyone other than Cynthia for taking care of our fur babies. We are so grateful to you Cynthia. Thank you for everything !”
“Mellisa has been checking in on our cats during our travels for the last couple of years. We are moving out of her service area in early October 2021. We hope we can find another sitter as dependable as Mellisa had been.”

“Sarah is super flexible with my odd schedule, and gives Ellie pup a comfy and fun stay! Ellie comes home very sleepy and content from her nice days with Sarah. Would recommend.”
“Moose had a ball staying with David and Stephanie! He had fun playing with other pups, he got a little training and mental enrichment, he enjoyed yummy and nutritious snacks. David and Stephanie were so communicative before and during Moose’s stay, they made it even better for me to have peace of mind while I was at work. Not to mention how the cute photos and funny captions throughout the day garnered more than a couple of laughs ?”
“Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.”
“Kelsey was great with my two pups!! She communicated really well & made me feel very at ease leaving them — my pups had a great time with her. Will definitely be re-booking & highly recommend!”

I have a large fenced-in backyard, and a user-friendly indoors, plus my own dog who loves all dogs! Your pup will be very well cared for!
“Our sweet Fred had such a great day with Tiffany and Chase! I'm always worried for Fred to stay somewhere new for the day but Tiffany was so communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout the day so I could see that he was happy and having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Stephen took great care of my dog Poppy! I wouldn't hesitate to have him look after her again, and I know that Poppy is excited to get to spend more time with his dog Maple. Overall, it was a very positive experience!”
“Cheyenne had a great first time staying with Alison and Tim. I got lots of pictures showing how much fun Cheyenne was having. I could tell that Cheyenne was treated like part of the family. We will be back again soon!”
“Wonderful care! I could tell my dog had a great time and was calm and happy when I picked him up. He got to play in the backyard with Anna’s dog which was a huge plus for him. Would recommend Anna as a sitter for any dog, especially energetic playful ones like mine!”

About: I catsat Agamemnon when my aunt, uncle, and cousins were out of town for spring break. The responsibilities I had while I was catsitting were litterbox scooping, sweeping litter messes, playing with the cat and feeding the cat. It was kind of funny when Agamemnon was pouncing at the broom like it's a toy. Since then, I could say that the broom is one of Agamemnon's favorite toys. My personal life is such that I am available to work most days, some evenings and at weekends. I am saving up to be able to pay my college tuition and for my degree right now so being at work helps me to achieve my goals. I would also be available to work at short notice at times if you need cover for any Rover work colleagues that might go off sick. I am committed to the job and I will work as many hours as my personal life permits me to do so. I care for dogs in my home and/or my client's home by walking the dog twice a day, feeding the dog, playing with the dog, and cleaning up after the dog. I care for cats by feeding the cat, playing with the cat, and scooping up the cat's litter box. Whenever I catsit, I would have to do it at my client's home because my dad is too allergic to cats to catsit at my home. Whenever I pet-sit at school, I would have to do it at the client's home because of the pet restrictions they have at the university, and I don't know if any of my suitemates are allergic to dogs.
“This was our dog's second time staying with Dan, Kevin, Pillow (& Major Tom!), but first time doing daycare. Sage was so excited when he saw where we were getting out of the car, he ran straight to the door to go play! We loved getting all the photo and video updates of Sage's playtime and walks, and felt good to know he's getting such thoughtful care. We really also appreciated Dan being flexible with us on drop off and pick up times. Will definitely book again!”

“Kelly is a gem! I have been in the hospital and unable to meet her personally. She took the bull by the horns even watering some of my plants. The cherry on top was that Amilyn really loves her! I did not have to worry about her care at all.”
“David is the dog whisperer as far as I'm concerned! He got down on one knee so he was on her level and proceeded to pet and love on her. Amilyn accepted him right away which is rare for her. I feel completely confident that David will keep my pup safe just like he was her owner. Highly recommend you hire him to take care of your doggies as well.”
“Kim is the best dog walker/sitter we could have ever asked for! She went above and beyond for our pup, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cynthia is awesome. She sent me photos and videos every day. She also updated me on potty habits! I informed her that we were working on puppy biting and the things I was doing to train the puppy. She followed suit and updated me on his progress during his time with her. Very trustworthy and full of helpful puppy knowledge! Booking her for several more weeks!!”
“Stephanie was such a sweetheart to my girl, Blue :) she was always on time and even walked her a little longer than the 30 mins. I can tell Blue felt comfortable with her and I felt comfortable leaving her in Stephanie’s care. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Rosemary is an amazing walker! She always stays the full time and she walks my dog really far. I really appreciate her and she sends photos and videos. My dog and cats love her! Thank you Rosemary!”
“Monica was amazing and took great care of our dog while we were away for thanksgiving. She gave detailed reports and took a lot of amazing photos! We will definitely be seeking Monica out again for our dog care needs! 10/10 recommend!”
“Pamela is reliable and responsive! She took great care of our dog and took the time to give extra cuddles to our other animals. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 8. My friends, neighbors and extended family have trusted me to walk, feed, drop in, and house sit their pets for over 20 years. If you have an active dog, I would love to take him/her on trips to the park. If your dog is less active, I'll adjust the activity level as needed. I'm a total animal lover. I'm currently working full-time from home, with lots of flexibility. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and house sitting. I am happy to adjust my schedule as needed. Ensuring your little buddy's safety is my top priority! I will be sure to follow all instructions provided and send updates during my visits or walks.
“What a great experience! This was our first time using Rover and I landed on Melissa based on her having a fellow basset hound and professional experience dealing with animals. We have two bassets, both female, and one of those we just rescued. Needless to say they are a handful. Melissa came over the night before to meet them and check out their dynamic. She didn’t have to do this at all and it was so appreciated. She walked them he next day, kept us updated and responded fast with ANY questions. Bottom line is Melissa is a pro and will be using her for all future basset stop and smells/walks.”
“Jenny is an absolute delight!! She is very interactive, personable, and Nikko absolutely LOVES her! We loved seeing the photos of Nikko while we were out of town for business! She did so much for our dog, and we can’t wait to book her again!!”
“Lisa was extremely patient with my dog who barked for 20 minutes before they became best buds. I'm so glad she didn't give up on my girl! Now, I have beautiful fall pictures from their walks.”
“Krista has been a wonderful additional to our life here in Columbus. She walked Mox every Thursday for me during my long day at work. I always trusted her and only pure happiness was seen on Mox’s face every picture she sent. I know he loved seeing and walking with her every week! GREAT dog walker and would 100% recommend.”

Thais communicated to me what he was doing & I explained why I felt he was going thru. She lovingly helped him thru it and even cuddled with him to calm him down. I can’t thank her enough for being supportive of his needs while with her. Thank you so much Thais .. that was a comfort to me knowing my Onyx was in loving hands. 🤎🫶🏽”
“Emily and Will had the perfect setup for our Aussie — a house with two friendly pups and a spacious fenced-in yard.

Also, also just really kind, friendly people! We’d definitely book them again.”
