“Cinthia and Fernando took wonderful care of our pups while we were away for an extended amount of time. We received twice-daily updates with pictures and videos, which greatly eased any nervousness we had about being away for so long. They clearly cared for Miles and Mabel as we would have, and they welcomed the dogs as part of their family. We know they were in good hands and will absolutely reach out to Cinthia and Fernando the next time Miles and Mabel are ready for a vacation!”
“Starla and her sons took great care of King. She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. He looked absolutely thrilled to be enjoying their company and big back yard. We will certainly request Starla in the future.”
“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Hannah was so awesome and went above and beyond to make our golden doodle happy. We have a tall 60 lb dog and he got to run and play and rest- just what he needed. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“This is my second time hiring Brooke, and she continues to be amazing. She takes excellent care of my dog, Bella, and truly treats her like her own. Bella is always happy and well cared for, which gives me complete peace of mind. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend her. I just want to tell you how amazing you are at dog sitting. You take such great care, and it really shows. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Bella is with you. Thank you for everything you do!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family. Dog parks, long walk and playtime with her family’s pet were just part of their routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. And he smelled great when I picked him up! She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”
“Arleen was very engaged and active with Loki from our first get to know you meeting to his week long stay. She was attentive to his dietary, sleeping and play needs. She walked Loki daily and took him on outings. He was well taken care of and we will definitely have her take care of Loki again! I think Loki has missed her since coming home!”
“This lady has become apart of the family. Our two dogs can be much to deal with at times but Gina does such a great job with them. They are so happy staying with her and I wouldn't trust anyone else. She doesn't just look after the dogs, she goes the extra mile to make sure they feel at home. If you are considering boarding she is the way to go. So glad we have such a wonderful person taking care of our babies”
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”
“Christopher was incredible. I had a very last minute need to board for two days over a weekend and he was able to be extremely flexible for us. Had to drop her off late and then picked her up early due to my crazy work schedule and he was more than willing to accommodate. Will be brining my girl Zoey back to him again for sure.”
“Our pups had a wonderful stay! Stephanie easily comforted Jade through a pretty bad storm. I received lots of communication and pictures. These dogs are whooped after all the fun they had!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
“Nelcy was fantastic! She kept our two high-energy Aussies, and everything was great. She sent pictures and updates throughout the week and went out of her way to make our dogs comfortable. We would definitely board with her again in the future and recommend her to other pet parents looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Rachel was incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Penny and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. This was our first time leaving Penny, so we were understandably a little nervous, but Rachel made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was professional, communicative, and walked us through everything so we knew Penny was in great hands. She kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, Penny was so happy with Rachel, and we could tell they had truly bonded by the time we picked her up. We’re so grateful we found Rachel and will absolutely be booking with her again for our future trips. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Mary and William treated our dogs like their own. They kept us updated with how the pups were doing and just went above and beyond. We would definitely book again in the future. Very happy with our experience!”
“We used Ashley three times for our Golden Retriever. There is a reason why we keep coming back to her -- she is a great sitter! We appreciate that our Golden is assimilated into her family and that her needs are well met. It is a great experience working with Ashley.”
“Kristal was so sweet. Her and her family took great care of my dog. She even sent me cute pictures of him to let me know he was happy! I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future as well!”

“First time using Rover, and I'm so glad a friend recommended it! Tricia has great communication and attention to detail. She asked questions and everything was great when I got back from my trip. My elderly cat was well cared for. I will definitely book Tricia again!”
“Megan is amazing! She is very thorough and listened to all my concerns! My cat had a recent medical emergency and she made sure he was drinking and using the litter box. She stayed over her time to make sure they were healthy. She goes over and beyond every time!”
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Carmyne was amazing. She followed directions very well. Pitbulls can get a bad rep but she definitely took a chance on my sweet baby. Good looking out. Hopefully he sees you soon.”
“Talia did an awesome job with our sweet babies! They were quite nervous and she gave them reassurance and space in a calm environment. She was very communicative with me and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her! ❤️”
About: I’ve had my own cats for the last eight years, and have taken care of my family’s cats for the last ten years. I currently have three cats of my own (Ollie, Nell, & Poppy) who are all very sweet and playful. I am able to give them any medications myself and I also clip their nails myself regularly.
“Hannah was great and stepped up to help us with short notice. She is very good with a variety of cat personalities and comfortable following all our written notes. She is a quiet presence and allows the cats time to adjust and get to know her.”
About: I have always had cats growing up. I currently have a 6 year old calico named Reign (she is pictured in my photo but much younger in it lol) I don’t have much experience when it comes to giving them medications or anything, but I am a quick learner and if you show me what to do then I can do it! I will treat your babies like they are my own :)
About: Your pets are family, and they deserve the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. I provide dependable, genuine pet care with a personal touch—treating every cat like they’re my own. I’ve cared for my 3 cats Bread, Tree and Toasty mama for a great long while. Simply put I enjoy animals and their company and little personality’s
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”
“Christopher was super easy to work with, did exactly what he said he would, and was very kind! We are so pleased and will be working with him again in the future!”
About: I can remember owning pets for my entire life and I have been helping care for animals of all kinds for over 40 years. I have experience with kittens, elderly pets, and everything in between. I have also owned and cared for pets with special needs.
“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”
“Elizabeth is awesome! My babies Lucy and Biggie love seeing her and getting attention when I’m away! She takes such good care of all 4 of my babies, 2 are very shy but she checks on them and they watch her every move. I always love reading the report card and seeing the pictures. Will definitely use her as long as she will continue to watch them 🩷”
About: I love dogs more than most people. I’m very patient and love spending time with dogs. I love that every dog you meet has a different character. I’m looking forward to loving each puppy I get my hands on. I understand that accidents happen with animals, I’d be patient and understanding. I promise you, that I’m the best person for your dog. I’m passionate about every dog I meet. I don’t think there’s a better job for me. I’ll enjoy what I’d do and make sure to take care of your baby! Thanks for considering me, I look forward to working with you in the future in whatever capacity you may need me. I will make sure to be the most loving and caring sitter you will ever have.
About: Ever since I was a child I have always managed to keep a pet in the house wether my parents liked it or not! I have taken care of many dogs in my life time, wether it be bathing, walking or simply feeding them. My love for animals is very prominent to me and others and will never die! I am a 3rd year college student at UNCG! During the week I am pretty busy , with maybe some room to squeeze in on Tuesday and Thursdays. But on the weekend I am all yours! Friday-Sunday. I have a nice sized backyard that my 4 year old miniature schnauzer loves. He gets along with other dogs well, he mostly likes to keep to himself unless your fur baby is up and ready for some fun!
“Addisyn stopped in to check on my cat while I was away for a few days. She is very responsive, took lots of pictures of my boy and always provided thorough updates. I felt at ease while I was away knowing my cat was well taken care of!”

About: My family personally has never owned any pets for more than 3 years but I have close relatives and friends who have. I have been asked to dog walk, sit, board, bathe and so many other things that I actually genuinely enjoy. Im not saying im a dog whisper but I have found it very easy to get a long with almost any animal I have came in contact with. I love the easy connection you can make with an animal just in the first few minutes of meeting them. While the pay is definitely a plus I enjoy taking care hanging out with all sorts of pets and hopefully I will have the chance to meet yours! I am currently and online college student so most days my schedule is very open. My weekends tend to get a little busy but not until the summer time so I am usually very free then as well. I spend most of my time at home so your pet would be with me during the duration of whatever service is being provided, can always clear my day for any furball! While I do have an unfenced yard anytime the animal needs to be taken out I am willing to do multiple walks. My house is fair in size so they have plenty of room to roam and access to water and food unless their diet is specific. I will admit this is my first time doing this through an online service and taking care of the animal within my home ( if needed) but am excited to learn and allow for any accommodations that may need to be met.
“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”
“The ladies did a wonderful job with Buddy. He stayed with them for two days and was well taken care of. I will definitely use their services again if and when the need arises and offer my recommendation to anyone considering using Mary”
About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs while dog sitting, visiting local dog parks, and traveling with our dogs to pet friendly locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for boarding, dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I wake up early and go to bed around 9pm/10pm. I have one dog in the home who is very friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, and day/night boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good and safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard as well as a carport/porch area. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, that is no problem. There is plenty of space to take them around the yard for sniffs and potty, as well as walkable streets near our house, and a beautiful park with a walking trail less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" and come back, but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.
“This was my first experience with Rover.com for daycare for my dog, Rudy and it went great. He seemed to do well with Rebecca even with it being a new environment. Rebecca interacted with him very well at the greeting to get his comfort in going with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats well over 40 years. This includes small and large animals of many breeds including young animals and also seniors with temperaments as well. I'm a dedicated animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats and other animals as well. I currently work from home so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and allow potty breaks as needed as well. I have a fenced back yard and two friendly animals (cat and dog) to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable while being cared for. I will also provide companionship, cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities and my goal is to treat every pet s if they were my own, giving their owners peace while away and knowing they will be in good hands.
“Rachelle and Christopher are so great with my girls. I can tell how much they love my dogs by how excited my dogs get when we arrive each week. Thank you for loving them like family!”
“Christina was welcoming and professional and the bonus was making my fur baby feel like family when her kids came home for school! I would recommend and use her services again”
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”
About: My lifetime dedication to animal behavior began at a young age, training everything from my childhood cats and birds to neighborhood dogs. By the time I was 12, I was already handling pet-sitting duties for family friends, which sparked an obsession with AKC dog shows and canine development. As a teenager, I successfully fostered three high-need rescue dogs, rehabilitating them and placing them into forever homes. When I finally received my first dog, Omega—a brilliant Standard Poodle who lived to be 14—I trained him from scratch in everything from advanced stays to agility pole jumping. To back this natural passion with formal education, I completed three years at Virginia Tech, majoring in Animal & Poultry Science (Companion Animal Track). Through my intensive collegiate lab work, I gained hands-on experience with multiple species and mastered advanced animal husbandry, livestock handling, anatomy, and medical administration protocols (including multiple injection methods). This rigorous science background transitions directly into my capability as a handler. My daily life revolves around the development of working lines and guardian breeds. I specialize in basic and advanced obedience, loose-leash positioning, and structured boundaries. I am actively developing my very first personal sport prospect, hand-feeding for precision obedience. I recently whelped and successfully raised a healthy, large working cross litter of 10 puppies, and I am now offering my training services through my rover profile. What to Expect During Their Stay: Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete needing structured mental outlets, a powerful guardian breed requiring a confident leader, or a companion needing precise medical administration, they will receive elite, customized care. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will be integrated into a clean, highly supervised routine that respects their existing household rules. I offer premium House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and structured Day Care. Space is intentionally kept small to ensure safety, calm boundaries, and individualized attention. Leaving your companion is never easy—trust me, I practice the same care I expect for my own animals. With me, you can have total peace of mind that your dog is in the hands of a dedicated, professional handler. Contact me today to secure your route or schedule a meet-and-greet! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent, round-the-clock supervision for your companion. I can be 100% available when I’m needed. Because I work directly from my home office, your dog will enjoy a highly supervised, safe environment with a dedicated handler present at all times. My time during the day is dedicated entirely to outdoor potty breaks, enrichment, and hands-on interaction. My ultimate professional milestone is transitioning to full-time canine management under my OZN Olympian K9 brand, meaning your pet receives the highest level of focused and attentive care I operate on a spacious one-acre property featuring a massive yard bordered by clean stone landmarks. Safety is my absolute priority, which is why all yard time is strictly supervised by me personally. Dogs with verified, bulletproof off-leash recall are permitted to utilize the full property line. For companions still developing their foundations, I utilize a professional 30-foot training long-line, allowing them total freedom to run and explore safely without any risk of escape. I have A 10 ft x 10ft enclosure for free roam time. Inside my home, I offer a highly versatile, stress-free environment tailored to your dog's specific social needs. I can accommodate social dogs who thrive around other animals, as well as dogs requiring complete separation. If your companion prefers individual space, my personal dogs can be securely rotated to my upper level, and my current puppy prospects are trained to settle quietly in their crates. This leaves my entire downstairs area or my private home office completely open for your dog to relax in. I have multiple heavy-duty, large crates on hand to assist dogs who need a secure, cozy boundary to settle in a new environment. When providing care inside your home for house-sitting or drop-in visits, I maintain that exact same elite standard of structure and safety. I treat your property with the utmost respect, keeping your home clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. While under my care on your property, your dog will follow a precise, customized routine—maintaining their existing house rules, feeding schedules, and crate habits—so they feel completely secure in their own familiar environment. Every dog under my roof receives a deeply enriching routine where I reinforce good canine manners daily, backed by regular text, photo, and video updates!
“Loren! Simply amazing for willing to watch my fur baby last minute, sent updates, pics and Kylie for right in with the gang!!! Thank you again we will be seeing you again! Thank you Loren!!!”
About: I am an absolute lover of all dogs! All breeds, sizes, backgrounds and personalities. They make me truly very happy and I want to do the same for them. I have 17 years experience caring for and walking dogs. I have had dogs my whole life.. I rescued my dog Lucy when she was a puppy. She was the sweetest dog and my best friend - my shadow. Please contact me for pet portrait inquiries. I work from home as a fine art painter so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have an SUV so I can bring your dog to the park and any of their favorite spots. There is nothing I wouldn't do for your dog! They will love their time with me and will always be given the very best care. I live in nature on one acre!
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
About: Ive worked at a pet resort for past two years providing doggy daycare and kennel care to boarders. I did dog walking and enrichment at the humane society. Spent most of my time there caring for elder dogs and ones without company. Ive also fostered elder dogs and puppies. At home in Florida I also own two dogs a 2 year old golden doodle and a 16 year old boxer. I am free every morning and evening throughout the week. I have class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-3 and Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-1:30. I have practices for an two at night usually 5:30-7:30. I am free any other time though. Im usually a very active person so I will make sure your dog is getting lots of care and activity. This will depend on the service. If you are boarding your pet will stay in my home and be nicely taken care of and fed at appropriate feeding schedules. I am very loving on all dogs and great at building their trust. Daycare the dog would stay during the day and experience a lot of energy relief allowed to bring siblings with. Dog walking again giving great exercise and gets nice stops with lot of loving.
About: What sets me apart isn’t just my certifications or years of experience. It’s my commitment to creating customized training plans that teach both the dog and the handler. Every dog learns differently and every owner deserves to understand why their dog behaves the way it does. My goal is to build lasting communication, confidence and reliability that extends far beyond our training sessions, whether I’m working with a family pet, a behavior case, or a future service dog. Because I work with dogs daily in my own home or on location it fits right into what we do here. Board and trains also come into play as we offer a family environment over kennels and runs. Our pets are part of our family and believe that they deserve the world and as much unconditional love just as they show us, no matter our faults are. ALL DOGS WHO BOARD WITH US MUST HAVE UP TO DATE VACCINES INCLUDING KENNEL COUGH - no exceptions.
“Melany took great care of Maggie, I got multiple picture updates and Melany has been very responsive and flexible for pick up and drop off time. Will have Maggie stay with her again next time I’m in the area.”
“So grateful for Tara! She was very accommodating and patient with my many questions. Once you meet Tara and her family you can tell they are animal lovers. Autzen was well cared for the entire time. Tara's home is a perfect space for running and relaxing. We will definitely be returning!!”

About: Ive had pets since i was 7 years old. From dogs to hermit crabs ive been taking care of them for years. My neighbors rely on me when they go out of town and they need their pets taken care of. Rest assured I'll take care of yours too! I have two pets myself. I have a strict routine that helps my dogs thrive and i will keep your pets same routine as well. I have a huge yard and two pets. One of my dogs is calm while the other is not so to be on the safe side id rather pet sit in your home instead of mine.
About: I have a dog that I’ve taken care of for 6 years. I’ve also helped taking care of family and friends’ pets when they go out of town and need someone to look after them. I have experience taking care of cats as well but I’m not as familiar with cats as I am with dogs. Im usually free during the week in the mornings till late afternoon. My schedule is pretty flexible but please feel free to ask and we can work something out. I have a goldendoodle who’s 6 and he’s very friendly but can be misunderstood bc he’s a bigger dog. I’m open to taking care of any breed as long as I earn their trust and if there’s any specific needs please let me know so I can better help.
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: hello! my name is Carrington. I'm 28 years old. I have a 5 year old husky mix named Shadow. I love animals and always have had them growing up. As a little girl when I lived in Michigan, I used to walk the neighbor's dogs.

I love playing at the dog park with my dog, training, going for walks, and just overall spending time with dogs. Honestly, I spend more time with my dog than most people. if you are interested in me walking your dog or taking care of your dog please message me! I hope you have a great day :) I am currently not working and going to school full time (online zoom classes) so I am available usually anytime :) my classes are on Tuesday’s and Thursday from 6pm-7pm I will make sure to keep your house the way it was, if not better. If I am staying at your house I will make sure to clean up after myself and your dog if there is a mess.
About: ✨Work from home sitter! ✨ When it comes to animals, I am head over heels. I grew up with cows, dogs, cats, and birds! I have a wide variety of knowledge when it comes to animals. My experience with animal care includes: Adult/senior dogs, puppies, cats, cows, turtles, parrots, and even Guinea pigs! When booking with me you will receive the following: - Bath if needed or requested. If your animal gets dirty, I will advise and will offer to bathe your pet. No cost to owner. - Morning, Mid-day, and Evening updates. - Photos/ Videos of your pet throughout the day. As little or as much as owner preferred. I am a wife, and mom. I have 2 children, both whom are in school daily so I will be available to be with your loved fur baby all hours of the day. I work from home 8am-5pm 😊 I have a large area for walking and exercise. I also offer taking your pet to the park for a walk, or I am able to crate your pet at needed times.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve loved working with them in all kinds of capacities since I was a child, and for more than 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of doing so professionally. Over the years, I’ve trained and cared for dogs of all personalities and backgrounds, including working dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. I’m a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross. I recertify annually so I can stay current with the latest first-aid practices, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here. Before your pup comes to stay, I’ll have you fill out a little information form about them. It’s not meant to feel like paperwork for paperwork’s sake—it simply helps me get to know your dog before they arrive. Their routines, quirks, favorite things, and anything else that helps me make them feel at home are all helpful to know. I don’t have a breed preference and have experience with everything from easygoing family companions to high-drive working dogs. Whether your pup is happiest curled up on the couch or ready to spend the day exploring, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and your preferences. And yes, your dog is absolutely welcome on our couch! ❤️ Our home is their home while they’re here, and we want them to feel comfortable and included. At the same time, I’m always happy to follow whatever arrangements work best for your family. No matter what their stay looks like, your pup can count on plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and interaction. My goal is for them to head home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit! I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.
About: I love dogs more than most people. I’m very patient and love spending time with dogs. I love that every dog you meet has a different character. I’m looking forward to loving each puppy I get my hands on. I understand that accidents happen with animals, I’d be patient and understanding. I promise you, that I’m the best person for your dog. I’m passionate about every dog I meet. I don’t think there’s a better job for me. I’ll enjoy what I’d do and make sure to take care of your baby! Thanks for considering me, I look forward to working with you in the future in whatever capacity you may need me. I will make sure to be the most loving and caring sitter you will ever have.
About: Your pets are family, and they deserve the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. I provide dependable, genuine pet care with a personal touch—treating every dog like they’re my own. I rescued my sweet girl Hashbrown when she was just a tiny puppy, cared for friends and family pets my entire life.I enjoy animals and their company plain and simple. I’m currently available M-F after 2pm for all your pet care needs. I can make myself available for extended care throughout the week if necessary and can do overnight stay as well. We have a decent sized fenced in back yard and a very friendly small breed puppy, so your puppy will feel very welcome. I am confident in my ability to care for your pup and their needs!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I adore all animals and look forward to loving and caring for your sweet pets. I am retired due to a health issue and I am fairly flexible with my schedule. Now that I have healed I am able to return to pet sitting for extra income. I’ll be happy to explain this further should there be any concerns on your part. I believe it is traumatic for pets when their people leave them, so it’s better for them to stay in home while you are away. I will come to your home and stay with your pets.

I currently just relocated from upstate New York and looking to make new clients. I am working towards being self employed. But currently employed full time and try my best to fulfill everybody's schedule. I care for pets how I would want anybody caring for my own pets. I prefer a detailed list of the pets normal routine and I follow that. When it is comes to giving love and attention to your pets I have you covered. Leash and proper outside produces are important to follow while walking. I would be providing services at the pets home in a familiar and friendly environment.

About: I am a dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have 5 of my own they are all rescue babies!

“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: Ever since I was a child I have always managed to keep a pet in the house wether my parents liked it or not! I have taken care of many dogs in my life time, wether it be bathing, walking or simply feeding them. My love for animals is very prominent to me and others and will never die! I am a 3rd year college student at UNCG! During the week I am pretty busy , with maybe some room to squeeze in on Tuesday and Thursdays. But on the weekend I am all yours! Friday-Sunday. I have a nice sized backyard that my 4 year old miniature schnauzer loves. He gets along with other dogs well, he mostly likes to keep to himself unless your fur baby is up and ready for some fun!

“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Hannah was so awesome and went above and beyond to make our golden doodle happy. We have a tall 60 lb dog and he got to run and play and rest- just what he needed. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family. Dog parks, long walk and playtime with her family’s pet were just part of their routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. And he smelled great when I picked him up! She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”
“Christopher was incredible. I had a very last minute need to board for two days over a weekend and he was able to be extremely flexible for us. Had to drop her off late and then picked her up early due to my crazy work schedule and he was more than willing to accommodate. Will be brining my girl Zoey back to him again for sure.”
“Our pups had a wonderful stay! Stephanie easily comforted Jade through a pretty bad storm. I received lots of communication and pictures. These dogs are whooped after all the fun they had!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
“Nelcy was fantastic! She kept our two high-energy Aussies, and everything was great. She sent pictures and updates throughout the week and went out of her way to make our dogs comfortable. We would definitely board with her again in the future and recommend her to other pet parents looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Rachel was incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Penny and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. This was our first time leaving Penny, so we were understandably a little nervous, but Rachel made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was professional, communicative, and walked us through everything so we knew Penny was in great hands. She kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, Penny was so happy with Rachel, and we could tell they had truly bonded by the time we picked her up. We’re so grateful we found Rachel and will absolutely be booking with her again for our future trips. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

“Jane has sit for Kylie so many times--she is the absolute best. Kylie really loves staying with Jane, Amelia and any other friends who happen to stop by. It is such a relief that we can leave her with Jane and have no worries. We are so blessed to have found Jane!”
“Brittany was absolutely WONDERFUL taking care of our Honeybear!!! She was warm and kind and Honey was so comfortable and loved her as soon as she met her!! She has lots of experience dog sitting, so she has a beautiful, very clean, dog friendly home with all the doggie beds and toys they could ever want! Also a nice big, fenced in back yard so Honey could run and play and do her business whenever needed. She had lots of playtime and snuggles with Honey, took her on walks, sent pics, and gave us updates every single day! We've had some great sitters, but none as phenomenal as Brittany!!! We would absolutely LOVE to have her keep our baby in the future!!! -Heather C.”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
