We received sweet updates and pictures of our four legged family member thoughout her stay, she was treated as one of their own fur family members. We want to thank them for taking such good and gracious care of our pupper. This was our first experience using Rover.com and with this family your pupper will be well cared for and loved. Thank you to all of you for your kindness and care towards our girl.”
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“Maria and Matthew were absolutely the best Rovers to trust with our Frenchie. They took such great care of him and truly made him feel right at home. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Canela had an excellent stay. Communication with Christie was great, she is very welcoming, reassuring and flexible. Will definitely use her services again. Bonus: our dog lives to play with kids so she had a blast!”
“Courtney was amazing with both of my boys. She even worked with the one we adopted a couple months ago and gave me tips on what to do with him at home. She also sent updates on a regular basis which I loved and definitely put my mind at ease while I was away. Thank you so much Courtney!”

“Christina was a wonderful caregiver for our girl. Her daily pictures sent to us we’re great and we could see how happy Sateen looked. She was clearly loved by Christina and her family and she got along well with their little dog. We are thrilled that we found her and have a place to leave her when we have to be away. We had such peace of mind and could relax knowing she was in safe hands.”
“Tina is absolutely wonderful! She took wonderful care of our dog. He has a hard time eating when we leave him with a sitter, and she did everything she could to make sure he stayed happy & fed. She also kept me informed every day and sent pictures of our little guy. I never like leaving him for long but I felt so comfortable knowing he was at Tina’s. Her family is so friendly, & her house is nice and clean. Their yard is also a great place for the dogs to run around. I’m really thankful we found her before a long road trip — it was one less thing I had to worry about! I highly recommend Tina and will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“She was so great with my little boy. I just knew as sweet as my baby was, she would have to end the stay early. But she was so kind and patient with him. She sent pictures and videos of him and what he was up to. He was able to have the same one on one time with her like he would work my regular schedule. He had a ball. If she allows him back, I will definitely book with her again.”
“Sherry and Brad took great care of Roxy! The family atmosphere was so great for her. I received pictures during her time there which helped me feel secure that she was doing well while I was away. I would definitely book again in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
“Taylor was awesome!!! She left great messages about our cat, Brandi, while we were gone. She was so attentive to Brandi’s needs and super communicative with us while we are out of town for a week and a half. We will definitely be using Taylor again for pet sitting! Thanks again Taylor!”
“Melanie and Addison, thank you so much for watching my dogs over the weekend. Your communication and notes were nice to work with, and I really appreciate the care and attention you gave them.”

Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets.

I'm happy to pickup or drop off your pup if needed. Only willing to do house sitting in a non-smoking home and fully Air conditioned/heated.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I focus on creating a stress-free experience while you’re away. During each visit, I ensure your cat is fed on schedule, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the right balance of attention—whether that’s playtime, affection, or simply quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Cleanliness, reliability, and clear communication are my top priorities. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your cat comfortable ➡️ Keep your home clean ➡️ Give you total peace of mind while you’re away
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I’ve grown up around animals and regularly care for pets for family and family friends, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including helping younger pets learn routines and giving extra patience and gentle care to older pets. I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: With several years of cat sitting experience I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family by providing check-ins, feeding, and playtime. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable in their own environment with their own routine, and I’ll treat your Cat/cats with the same care and patience I’d give my own.
About: I am highly attentive to pets' needs. Am extremely patient and nurturing. I can adapt to various pet personalities. Experience with dogs, cats, and some exotic animals. I'm currently enrolled in online school part-time, so i'll have plenty of time to care for your pups. I'm available on weekends and weekdays with flexible times. I live in a safe, newly built community with plenty of walking paths and room to run around. I can easily take your pup on walks and dedicate hours of playtime or lounging on the couch with belly rubs.

Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.

About: I have been a babysitter for over 20 years. Most of the families I worked with had pets, dogs or cats. I have had cats of my own over the years but now I help my mom take care of her 2 dogs. I recently moved to Newport News so I have a completely open schedule. I am already cooking fresh food for my mom's dogs and walking them regularly. Come join us. I prepare meals for my mom's dogs weekly. I research foods they can and cannot have to make sure they are happy and healthy. I also walk them 3 times a day minimum. There is a dog park on the premises but they mostly just sniff around :).
“Mr. Eugene and his family were absolutely wonderful with my boys! I’m always hesitant regarding people watching them unless I personally know them but my boys were definitely in great hands and I am so happy!”
About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.

“I'm basing this review on my limited experience with hiring dog walkers. This is my first time using this app or any dog walker services for that matter. I was amazed how easy it was to sign up and find a qualified dog walker under such short notice. I was worried my dog's stature and puppy manners would be intimidating, but was worried for nothing. The walker, Renee, handled him really well and passed in flying colors. Will use this service and walker again in the future if the need arises again.”
About: I raised puppies before having children. It was rewarding and fun. I am a good natured person as and believe dogs will be good for me. I always do the best I can to be loving and gentle. I'm helping to care for a 10-year-old grandson. I am able to fit this into my schedule very easily. I have my own transportation so that won't be a problem either I will do my best to walk the dog safely and to make sure they have food and water. I will also make sure that they feel loved

About: Hi 🐾 My name is Juliana, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I graduated from NC State with a degree in Animal Science, where I built a solid foundation in animal health, behavior, and welfare. I also spent two years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting. During that time, I assisted with handling all different kinds of breeds, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable, especially in stressful situations. This taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly, and provide attentive, compassionate care to each unique animals needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. You can feel confident knowing your pet will receive safe, loving, and personalized care while you’re away, along with plenty of updates and peace of mind for you as I would want for my own pet! Right now, I’m in a transition period before shipping out for the Air Force, and I’d love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, trust, and environment of every pet that I care for, whether they are in my own home or in the client's home. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I take the time to thoroughly assess the environment and identify any potential hazards or risks. I make sure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable space to rest. Overall, my approach to caring for pets is centered on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness.
“We are very pleased with Emma. She shows up on time for every dog walk that is scheduled and our dogs are much happier on days that she walks them, which is a huge help to us. We will definitely continue to book walks with her!”
About: I love animals of all breeds, temperaments, and age. I promise to greet and treat your animals as if they were my own. Being a pet owner myself I realize how difficult it is to leave your family members home. I will do my best to make this experience as easy for you as possible. I will send updates and pictures with every visit. I service the local area (Camden, Shiloh, Elizabeth City, Currituck) with pet sitting needs and pop in visits. I work in Elizabeth City M-F from 5-1. For this reason I would recommend only sending a request if your animal is also used to being on a working schedule (left 8+ hours). I will supply visits before and after my working hours. We can discuss specifics based on your location. I will follow your rules as if you were home. I will treat your animals with as much love and affection as I would my own. If you use certain commands, I will too. If your dog isnt allowed on the furniture, I will uphold your boundaries to the best of my ability. If your dog licks your face and lays with you on the couch, I'm cool with all the snuggles.
About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children.

With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accommodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (I am a stay at home Mom) and Eric (husband) still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc).

I couldn't imagine treating your pet anyless than my own.
About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I've been an animal lover all of my life. I had cats for most of my childhood and early adulthood. They were my best buddies who cuddled and slept with me, as well as posed for drawings and paintings. About 18 years ago I adopted a pit mix, named Humble. He was the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He accompanied me on camping and hiking trips in Maine. He passed away a few years ago. Now I'm the lucky mom of a rescue dog named Chance. He is an 8 year old undetermined breed. He may be a Doxie mixed with Papillion. I rescued him from the streets of China. I was working as an ESL teacher in Shenzhen,China at the time. He is one of my best friends and I spoil him with lots of love, treats and walks. I am a certified yoga teacher, artist and pet care provider. I started out pet sitting as a side business to earn some extra money, but it has become so much more than that. It is such a rewarding job and a great honor to care for so many beautiful animals! I will take great care of your fur babies and your home. You can have peace of mind with me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!

I never leave pets unattended outside, make sure harnesses and collars are secure during walks, and never feed them anything but their food. I will give them your treats if you give me permission. I also make sure the floors and rugs if the home are kept clean and that their is nothing dangerous around that they could eat .. I am Extra careful!

“Eric and family are amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Eric went out of his way to make us comfortable and accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“John is amazing! He has watched our dog Murphy several times now and sends lots of photos and videos during your pets stay! Murphy always comes home happy and tired from playing with the other dogs! 100% recommend!”
“Was extremely friendly and was willing to take a short notice boarding. Sitter provided many pictures from his stay with her. He seems extremely happy since getting home, I can tell he had a good playful weekend.”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“Maria and Matthew were absolutely the best Rovers to trust with our Frenchie. They took such great care of him and truly made him feel right at home. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Courtney was amazing with both of my boys. She even worked with the one we adopted a couple months ago and gave me tips on what to do with him at home. She also sent updates on a regular basis which I loved and definitely put my mind at ease while I was away. Thank you so much Courtney!”
“Sherry and Brad took great care of Roxy! The family atmosphere was so great for her. I received pictures during her time there which helped me feel secure that she was doing well while I was away. I would definitely book again in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Theresa and her family. The next time I am anywhere near the OBX, I will definitely be going back to Theresa. I found myself in a tough situation where I needed a very last minute dog sitter for my less than two-week old rescue pup, Lilah, who was also on meds at the time. As a new dog owner + an owner of a dog I didn't know that well, I was obviously very nervous to be leaving her. Upon arriving to her house, I could see that Theresa and her family would provide the highest care for Lilah and make her one of their own for the weekend—that they did and I'm pretty sure Lilah had the time of her life. Lilah has severe separation anxiety, EXTREMELY high energy as a young pit/boxer mix, and is still working on her dog socialization skills, but they were absolutely fantastic in working with all of her quirks and needs throughout the weekend. They also have an amazing, massive fenced in backyard that was perfect for her energy needs, and it was great that she got in some socialization with their sweet dogs. Their patience, attention, and care with Lilah left her a better pup then when I dropped her off. If you're anywhere near the OBX, Theresa is definitely the way to go.”
“Awesome stay for my Little boy Roo. He had so much fun playing with other dogs and watching the horses! Rose sent me pictures every day of him. Would definitely book with Rose again!!!”
“Emmy had a fantastic stay with Dalton and his family! Dalton was very detailed and asked plenty of questions prior to the stay to make sure he knew how to take care of Emmy and there wasn’t anything he was missing. I had complete trust that Emmy was in good hands and I would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“We were visiting the area from out of state and needed someone caring to keep our dog in a comfortable house (rather than a kennel) as the event we were attending didn’t allow dogs in the accommodations - so we booked Taylor sight unseen. She was very friendly and warm, and was all around excellent with our senior lab mix - she sent regular updates with videos and pictures and he LOVED running around her land, getting to splash in her pond and watching all the farm animals. Will definitely book with Taylor again if we are ever back in the area and need a dogsitter!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our sweet girl Jewel ! We received lots of great pictures and communication! Jewel definitely was living her best life and had a great doggy vacay while we were also on vacation ! I would recommend her to everyone !”
“Shawn was a delight in booking our boarding stay. He set up a call before our meet and greet where we discussed all aspects of my pup. He was thorough and reassuring. He was also very knowledgeable. He communicated with me throughout the stay and sent pics. Will definitely recommend and will re-book.”
“Nicolle is a life saver! Last minute my sitter cancelled on me and I only had 2 days to find a backup. I decided to check online and found Rover. Nicole put me at ease almost immediately. She allowed me to set up a last minute meet and greet. My dog can be extremely hyper at times and both her and her dog were accepting. Her back yard is great because of the size, sections, and high fences. The yard seemed to be my dog’s favorite from the pictures. She thankfully sent me pictures and updated daily which made me feel a lot better while on vacation. I feel that I left my dog with a loving sitter and will continue to highly recommend her. If ever I needed a sitter again she would be my first choice.”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Katja did a terrific job taking care of my sweet little dog! She sent me updates and pictures every day to let me know how she was doing, she even sent me a couple of videos. Katja and her family treated my baby like part of their family. I would definitely hire her again!”
