“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Meghan was amazing with our pup, Lola. She sent cute updates and communicated really well through the whole process which was very comforting as this was our first Rover experience. Many thanks to Meghan! I would recommend her to anyone.”

I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)! I have a 4yo poodle service dog who would only need to be with me for overnight stays or if your dog(s) would like a mid day playmate. He's incredibly sociable and energetic when off duty. Either together or solo, I will make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions we discuss and care for your fur family as if they were my own.
“Eleanor was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our cat, Perry, while we were away at the beach. She was so flexible and gracious when there was a mix-up with our address, and she handled everything with such kindness and patience. Perry adored her, and we loved how attentive and communicative she was throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

I also have plenty of toys, due to having a German Sheppard mix

“Beast can't wait to visit Ms. Judy and Autumn he is always excited and running to the door. Ms. Judy is so sweet and nurturing I feel comfortable at work knowing she is caring for him. I was very apprehensive with placing him in day care this is his first experience, she puts my mind at ease with all the photos and communication throughout the day.”
“Gretchen was absolutely amazing with our dog, Molly. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous leaving her with someone new, especially because Molly can be anxious and has a few special considerations. Gretchen immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making Molly feel safe and comfortable in her home. We received updates and could tell Molly was being genuinely cared for, not just watched. Gretchen was also very patient with Molly’s quirks and made the entire experience stress-free for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive.”
“Athena was in her element - running, playing, and enjoying the companionship of her canine relatives! What a special day and place for Athena to spend time being a ‘puppy’ with such joy. Thank you Melissa”

“Skirla (aka Sorel) is great! Sushi normally barks and growls at everyone but not her! I feel comfortable leaving my baby with her for my week long vacation and will book again when the need arises.”
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just what I do- it’s who I am. As a proud parent of three wonderful pups, I know every tail wag and each happy bark means the world. I’ll treat your dog just like my own - with plenty of playtime, safe walks, and fun photo updates so you’re always in the loop!! My husband and I both work from home and the pups are very seldom left alone. If you want your pup crated we will follow your instructions.

Our puppy is passed out and very mellow after a fun filled day with Vanessa & her Family. Peace of mind that our dog baby is in safe hands.”
About: I don’t have any special skills but I treat every pet with care, patience, and attention. I’m reliable, I communicate, and I always follow instructions. I am full time student during the week so I don’t have a work schedule to get in the way of pet care. Not having a job means that my weekends are open and flexible. This means that I can give your pet my full attention during their stay with me. When I care for pets in my home I make sure that they are comfortable and I treat them as if they are my own. I follow their normal routine and special instructions given.
About: Hi there! My name is Danielle, and I’ve been working with dogs for over 16 years. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs and currently share my home with a sweet Shih Tzu who keeps us smiling every day. He loves to make new playmates. I absolutely adore both dogs and cats and know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I’m here to provide a loving and safe environment for your pets, whether you need dog boarding or daycare. With years of hands-on experience and a passion for animals, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them all the attention, love, and care they deserve! With 16 years of experience, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my day. Your pets receive dedicated attention, love and care in a flexible schdule. I take your dog out every 2 hours. I will follow your feeding schedule so they can eat the same time every day. My dog will keep your dog company and even gets along with cats. I will give them a lot of love!
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet lover. I’m a vet student in the making. Caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s part of my future career. I take the time to really get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s helping a puppy burn off energy and learn basic manners, or giving a senior pet the extra patience, comfort, and gentle care they deserve. Because I’m passionate about animal health, I pay close attention to things like eating habits, energy levels, and behavior changes, so I can spot if something seems off and communicate that to owners right away. I’m also comfortable handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs.nFor me, pet sitting isn’t just “watching” animals it’s making sure they’re safe, happy, and thriving, while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. Pet care is something I fit naturally into my day. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or some playtime to make sure pets start the day happy and active. If I have classes, I plan my schedule so I can come by for potty breaks, belly rubs, and some one on one time in between. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks, heading to a park, or just spending time playing or relaxing together. Weekends are perfect for extra adventures like exploring trails, visiting pet-friendly spots, or giving them some extra grooming and attention. For me, pets aren’t something I try to “fit in” around my day they’re part of it. I love making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need, no matter how busy my schedule gets. Whether in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I pay close attention to a pet’s personality, habits, and routines so I can adapt my care to their comfort level, whether that means providing a quiet, calm environment for shy pets or engaging in active play for more energetic ones. I also make it a point to send regular updates, photos, and notes to owners so they feel reassured and connected while they’re away. In my own home, I designate safe areas for rest, play, and meals, and I make sure fresh water is always available. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely everything from where the pet sleeps to how they like their walks so the pet’s routine is not disrupted. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, cared for, and happy, no matter the environment.
About: I love all animals, I’ve dog sit in the past for families and really enjoyed it. I have prior experience with small dogs, along with larger ones. I’m looking for openings in the Louisburg area. Looking forward to have the opportunity to work with different animals and meeting new people in the area. I believe you have to be patient with all animals and pets especially when you are first meeting them. Always keeping in mind that it’s going to take time for them to warm up to a new person caring for them. I’m currently taking a break from nannying, and have a huge love for animals. I’ve had pets all my life. From cats, fish, hamsters, and dogs; to birds, snakes, iguanas and bearded dragons! I’m excited and can’t wait to meet your pets!! :) Being respectful of people’s homes, personal spaces and overall privacy. My main focus is the well being of the animal, making sure they’re taken care of.

“Jessica is an absolute gem! She took good care of Riley and sent lots of photo updates while I had to fly out to California for the day. I really enjoyed seeing them and it made me feel comfortable knowing Riley was in good hands and having fun. Her dog River is very friendly and sweet! Riley and her played well together. This was my first experience using Rover and I had many questions–Jessica was very patient with me and even agreed to a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs got a long well. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. She treated Riley like he was part of the family, he was allowed on furniture and got to enjoy movie night with her and her husband. Thank you Jessica!”

“She was great with sending updates of my dog. She also picked up all my dogs toys and put them away for me so the house looked cleaner then I left it after a very long day.”
“Kourtney is great with our dog! She updated us about his walk and sent some cute pictures. He is high energy but she is patient with him and understands his puppy personality. So thankful to know she’s around to help out with him.”
“Jennifer is amazing. I will use her again. We went away for a full week and she came to my home and took amazing care of our corgi, Khloe while we were gone. She took her on walks, fed & played with her. Khloe has never, in almost 10 years been boarded and I’m so glad we found Jennifer. She was able to stay in her own home while we were gone & be loved and cared for by a new friend. Use her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Jennifer and thank you Rover.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing tailored care for each pet. I specialize in training puppies and also offer special care for senior pets, ensuring they get the attention they need. Plus, I focus on regular updates and behavior monitoring, so you can relax knowing your furry friends are well taken care of! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I schedule regular walks, feeding times, socialization, and behavior monitoring throughout the day. I also make sure to provide customized care for each pet based on their unique needs, whether it's puppy training, senior care, or just some extra love and attention. My goal is to ensure that every pet in my care feels happy, healthy, and loved! I offer both in-home pet care and services at my place. When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel right at home with regular walks, feeding, hydration, and lots of socialization. For in-home visits, I stick to their usual routine, providing the same level of care and attention. Whether it's puppy training or special care for senior pets, I tailor my approach to meet each pet's unique needs.
About: Friends and family can always depend on me to watch their fur-babies. I've worked as a veterinarian assistant in several clinics since high school. While exploring different career possibilities, I wanted a side gig that supports my passion towards caring for animals. I'm happy to help while you're busy! I’m available M-F 8am-4pm. From working in a shelter to hanging out with your pet on the sofa, I’m an experienced, reliable pet care-giver you can count on. My background in shelter/clinic work allows me to create safe and fun memories with your pet.
About: I was adopted by my first cat in 2000 and have dog-and cat-sat for friends and co-workers ever since. Having moved to a farm 3 years ago, I’ve also cared for our neighbor’s horses, chickens, and guinea fowl. In general, I respect all pets' boundaries and love to find their individual personalities. I have a lot of experience with various temperaments and personalities, and am sensitive to the needs and quirks of every animal I meet. I've bottle-fed newborns, given oral medications (pills and liquid), applied topical ointments, and given fluid injections to cats with renal failure. I'll honor any preferences you have for caring for your cats (e.g., feeding times, fresh water daily, etc.). My wife and I have rescued and fostered cats for the last 10 years, so I’m familiar with a variety of health issues and quirky behaviors. And I scoop litters! At the moment I work remotely from home, so I can flex my schedule around any specific times you may need. Driving long distance is not a deal-breaker for me. Most of our cats are indoors but have access to a fenced-in portion of the back yard. We feed them wet food twice a day (morning and night) and snack them with dry food throughout the day. Each one gets playtime throughout the day, and the only "rules" are no cats on the kitchen counters. People have told us that when they die, they hope to come back as a cat we take care of. Given the number of cats we have, I'm unable to board any pets.
About: I am a lover of all animals with a very flexible and available schedule. I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, from small dogs like yorkies to larger breeds like greyhounds! I myself am a dog mom to a sweet 2 year old disabled pup. Because of this, I am very experienced with administering oral and injectable medications and providing high levels of care. I am a true dog lover and will make sure to give your pup lots of cuddles and attention when I visit. I will also make sure they have plenty of food/water and get plenty of energy out on our walk/drop-in visit. I hope you consider me to look after your pup the next time you need assistance!
About: I love caring for pets of all kinds (dogs, cats, fish, ducks, goats, chickens, etc.) and have been doing so professionally (for dogs) at a local enrichment and training center since 2022 under the guidance of a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Dog Behavior Consultant. I’m very familiar with dog body language and communication as well as positive reinforcement training techniques. Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for animals and I love putting that into action as an adult! I’m always growing and learning to provide you with the best pet sitting experience possible. Would love the chance to meet you and your babies. Friday-Monday between the hours of 11:30 am and 4:30pm. If you work long hours and need someone to stop by, or you’re taking a day trip and need a drop in, or your pets only require one visit per day while you’re away on vacation for the weekend (cats, fish, amphibians, etc.) I’m your girl! It is an honor to care for your pets and to be welcomed into your home to do so. Because of this, I care for each pet as if they were my own. Additionally, it is one of my top priorities to respect your home. I am very detail oriented, so I will let you know of anything out of the ordinary!
About: I've taken care of raising my kids in a pet-friendly environment for many years that stems from a childhood of taking every stray pet I could get past my mom. I have best friends in the pet rescue business as well as pet transport. All of our pets have been considered family all the way through their lives. I cherish any pet like I gave birth to them and have instilled that in my kids, grandkids, and anyone I could embark on having that conversation with. The majority of the photos you see in my profile are my grand-fur-babies as well as our forever family members that started out as rescues that are still present in our lives by moving on with my daughter in her adult life. She is also on Rover in Colorado if you know or need pet lover's help out there. Since Covid devastated this nation and my business I have been in NC helping take care of my grandkids with my ex-son, I have now moved to Lake Royale in NC permanently to be closer to my grandkids. I am home every day and have an open loving schedule to share the love I am full of for anything that comes my way. God is so Good! I have an open welcoming loving heart, a knack for customer service, and strive for attention to detail. Our home is warm, full of love, and ready to keep your fur babies safe, spoiled, and content. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced yard but I am in a safe community, have a large yard, and would never walk/let your fur baby out without a proper safety harness and leash. My schedule is flexible since I am retired. My love for animals is why I love being able to use this platform. I use River when I go visit my grandkids 3 times a year. I live the Lake Royale community so have gate access. I live full time in my 38 foot Class A Motorhome until my cottage is done being built. I am a stickler about ensuring your pet is on leash when outdoors. while indoors as long as other clients pets are friendly and willing pets will be able to roam freely. Crates are recommended for overnight stays or if pets will not get along.

“Our goldendoodle Luca had the BEST time during his week-long stay with Scott and his family. He loved playing with their dog ZuZu and another dog they were boarding. Luca was given lots of love and attention and we could tell from the many daily photo and video updates that he was treated like a member of their family! Scott really went above and beyond and was great about communicating regularly with any questions. We’ve already booked Luca’s next stay over spring break.”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“My dog loves staying with Sharon. He gets excited the minute he realizes where we are at. He also is sad when I pick him up. I love how well Sharon takes care of my dog. She sends pictures and videos of him running and playing with other dogs in her large fenced in yard. It is good feeling when I travel, knowing my dog is treated like family.”
“Jeremy and family were absolutely amazing. We had to book short notice and the process and communication was excellent. He cared for our little guy just as we would! We will definitely be rebooking.”
“I can't say enough good things about Luis! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My pup usually gets a little anxious when I'm gone, but with Luis, he was calm and happy the whole time. Luis sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Polly loved staying at Jerry's and having lots of doggy friends around 24/7. Great communication with Jerry and enjoyed the videos that he sent. Love that dogs can go into and out of the yard as they please. Loved that I didn't have to worry about Polly while I went out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa did great with our two dogs! I looked at a lot of Rover sitters and we chose Vanessa because of her reviews, even though she was the furthest away by far. She is worth the drive!!! We have a senior dog with a lot of health conditions but she did great with medications. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and kept us well informed throughout their stay. We definitely plan to book again for future trips.”
“Summer took great care of our dogs. We received regular updates and were happy to know they got along well with Summers dogs. Toby is usually anxious when we leave him but he was very well adjusted which goes to show how loved they were. Highly recommend!”
“Karen was absolutely amazing with my dog Loki! It was my first time leaving him with someone in the area, and she did everything to make me feel confident and comfortable with leaving him overnight. Loki got along great with her sweet golden, the pictures were adorable. We will definitely use her again!”
“My pups just had a great stay with Melissa and family. They stayed for 10 days and seem very happy. We got pictures and information regularly and felt very comfortable with the setup there. Would highly recommend and will use again! Thank you!!”
“Milika did a wonderful job caring for my Moses. Got plenty of updates and pictures. She even accommodated his special food request, to ensure he wasn’t too sad to eat. Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. 10/10 recommend.”
“Valerie is amazing with my baby. She always sends pics. I call her my baby's stepmom😁. Valerie is always my 1st choice sitter. When she's not available, I'm devastated 💔. My baby absolutely loves her. My baby is blind, but when he hears her voice, he gets so excited.”
“Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.”
“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Gretchen is Wonderful! I was not sure what I was going to do because the usual sitter was not available. From the meet and greet and forward, Gretchen made me comfortable as I watched her with her dogs and mine. My pup is tiny so I am always cautious when he is with larger dogs which hers were under 40 lbs but my pup is only 9 lbs and he is a senior dog. Gretchen communicated well and provided excellent service! Her family was good with my pup. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Gretchen! She is Outstanding!”
