“Courtney was wonderful with my 7 month old puppy. I had never boarder her and unsure how Tillie would do away from home. But with Courtney and her pups, my pup never missed a beat. She enjoyed her time there and it was a relief that Tillie was in a loving caring home while I was on vacation.”
“This was my first time trying Rover and Ms. Kimberly's services, and I had a wonderful experience. She was incredibly patient with both Judah and me, understanding my initial nervousness and reassuring me every step of the way, whether through phone calls, videos, or photos. She truly made the entire process feel easy and safe. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring service.”
“Absolutely amazing people! My Bo had a blast! Daily pictures and communication made it even better. Already rebooked for next month. Our search for the perfect Bo sitter is over. ?”
“This was my first time using rover.com. Megan was so great! She took in and cared for my pup and grandpup. She updated me on how they were doing and sent photos of them as well. I definitely recommend Megan! I got to focus on family without stressing over their care.”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience! This was our first time leaving Izzy and Wilson with Juli, and we couldn't be happier. She was wonderful with communication and made us feel at ease during our entire trip. It’s clear she has a heart for animals. We’ve already decided she will be our go-to sitter for our next trip.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Naomi was fantastic! She was easy to coordinate with & took great care of my dog! My dog is older & can be difficult when it comes to eating right away or wanting attention. But she was very accommodating to his needs & helped him settle in quickly! I loved receiving the photo & vid updates during his stay!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Heather to take care of Mabel, my 17-year-old dachshund! This time, Mabel stayed with her for 10 days at Heather’s home, where she was lovingly cared for, and all her needs were met. As an old lady, Mabel can be a bit sensitive to new surroundings and meeting other dogs, but from the moment we visited with Heather, she felt right at home. Heather was so kind and shared lots of updates throughout Mabel’s stay.”
“Mafe was an Angel! Seriously.. it was spur of the moment and she took both of my dogs. She played with them and walked them and sent me updates and pictures!! I am so glad we found her! Thank you so much Mafe”
“We found a jewel in Allison. She was loving to our dog Bailey and I didn’t worry one bit after I met Allison. She had her own dog for Bailey to play with and also a little boy that Bailey clearly loved! I had to go out of town for a drs appointment. It was so nice not to worry about Bailey while she was with Allison. I’ve definitely got a sitter now for Bailey when I have something to do. Thank you Rover and Allison!!”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Sara did a great job taking care of our large puppies. She sent about 3 pictures a day which we really enjoyed and looked forward to. She also played outside with our dogs which they loveddd. I would definitely rebook with Sara.”
“We brought our golden doodle with us to Snow hill and left her with Lisa while we attended Baseball games. Lisa has a fantastic yard and she took her for walks daily. Maddie seemed so happy and almost sad to leave. If we ever land in Snow Hill again, we will ask Lisa to watch out fur baby.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend her! She did an amazing job taking care of Bruno and made the whole experience stress-free. She was patient, caring, and treated him like he was her own. I could tell Bruno was comfortable and happy, which means a lot. Great communication, reliable, and someone I’d definitely trust with him again!”
“Morgan is amazing! This was our first time leaving our babies with anyone outside of family and Morgan made sure to help us feel comfortable by having a meet and greet with her pups and providing pics, videos and texts throughout their stay. She was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times too. The pups had a wonderful time and came home happy. Highly recommend Morgan.”

“Gail is absolutely the best sitter anyone could want. She is very understanding and patient with the dogs. She helped my puppy with leash training. She also keeps you updated on how the puppy/dog is doing. I don’t know of anyone else I would trust my puppy with. She shows you the environment that the puppy/dog will have. You don’t just drop them off at the front door. Totally top notch and very professional.”
“Kentrice took very good care of our 10.5 yr old basset hound, sent pictures and kept us updated. Our dog has separation anxiety and she seemed at ease with Kentrice. I would definitely recommend and will use her in the future if needed.”

“I was very pleased with Kristina's daily updates and the care she took in watching Nymphadora while I was away.

The photo updates were also nice to receive and made me laugh seeing Nymphadora peeking at the new people in her home.”

Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.

I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.
About: I am very energetic! I love to play outside with dogs. I love to play fetch and ball. I love to play in the sprinkler with dogs. I love to go on runs with dogs and make sure they are having the best time! I am always excited to play with dogs! I always make sure that they have the option to use the bathroom and always have access to water so they never get dehydrated. If they take any medicine, I make sure I have an alarm that lets me know it's time for them to take it! I always make sure that the dog feels comfortable at all times, and I always keep the owner updated to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I know your dog is your best friend, but when you can't be there with them, let me take care of them until you can! I do have base access! I have a very open schedule throughout the week and would love to play with your fur baby while you are away! So don't you worry, they will definitely get loved on until you get back! One way I ensure your baby is safe is by always going outside with them even when it's bad weather! I try to always make sure that your fur baby feels calm and safe no matter the situation. Another way I make sure they are safe is ensuring they are not in an area they are not normally allowed in alone. If we were to go on a walk or an adventure, I'd make sure they have on their collar and leash and of course send you lots of pictures while we're out!
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with 13+ years of hands-on pet care experience, and I truly love what I do. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs a little extra TLC, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve worked with animals in veterinary and grooming environments, so I’m comfortable in many pet care scenarios, including administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and helping maintain coats with brushing or basic grooming. I also have a special place in my heart for senior pets and anxious animals. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to move at their pace—whether that means slow walks, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine. Got a high-energy pup? Perfect. I’m an active person who loves long walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise. Got a couch-loving senior? I’m just as happy providing calm company and lots of affection. 🐾What you can expect from me:🐾 • 13+ years of pet care experience • Veterinary medicine & grooming background • Comfortable administering medications • Experienced with senior pets & anxious animals • Active sitter who loves walks and playtime • Flexible schedule for reliable care I treat every pet like family and always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐶🐱
About: I’ve been looking after dogs since I was a kid—family, friends, neighbors, you name it. I’m someone people trust to show up, take care of their pets, and treat them with respect. I’m working part-time at Subway and taking classes at MCC, so I’ve got a good balance of structure and flexibility. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after class. I make sure to plan ahead so your pets get the attention and care they deserve—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. When I’m taking care of pets, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed—whether it’s in my place or theirs. I keep things clean, follow their routines, and give them plenty of attention. I know every pet’s got their own personality, so I adjust to what makes them comfortable, I treat every animal with the same care I’d give my own.
About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.

This time, Mabel stayed with her for 10 days at Heather’s home, where she was lovingly cared for, and all her needs were met. As an old lady, Mabel can be a bit sensitive to new surroundings and meeting other dogs, but from the moment we visited with Heather, she felt right at home. Heather was so kind and shared lots of updates throughout Mabel’s stay.”

It was so nice not to worry about Bailey while she was with Allison. I’ve definitely got a sitter now for Bailey when I have something to do. Thank you Rover and Allison!!”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”

This was our first time leaving our babies with anyone outside of family and Morgan made sure to help us feel comfortable by having a meet and greet with her pups and providing pics, videos and texts throughout their stay.

She invited Eddie into her home and treated her just like one of her family members. She was experienced in providing Eddie’s food and supplements. She was flexible in allowing my drop off time, which really helped given my strange schedule. She updated me daily with pictures, which really helped put my mind at ease. Eddie had such a great time playing with her son and enjoying her walks. She probably would’ve stayed there had I not forced her back into the car. I would recommend Summer to anybody wishing to go away with peace of mind that their pup is gonna be very well taken care of.”
