Highly-rated overnight sitters - Butner
“We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! Marilyn is reliable, kind, and treats our pup like family. Our dog is always happy when he arrives to her home. She is constantly sending updates and pictures where our pup looks like he’s having an amazing time. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda and her husband were wonderful sitters for my pup. They stayed in constant communication and were flexible with my schedule. I felt very good with my choice to work with them and would highly recommend them.”
“Very pleasant experience, Violette took exceptional care of Benji and kept in touch with pictures and videos. I could tell by the pictures and videos that he was having a great time with her and the other dogs. Will definitely use Violette again! Highly highly recommended!!!”
“Leaving our Ollie with Kerri for the 7 days we were out of town was the BEST decision we could have possibly made. She is super easy to communicate with. She has studied animal behaviors so I knew that no matter how many dogs she had (it was the 4th of July week-busy!) she would make the right decisions with how to handle our girl. She would send pictures and videos so we could see our girl. Kerri is very professional yet extremely easy to talk to and oh so friendly. Just use her-she’s the best. We didn’t know if Ollie would want to come back home to us bc she had so much fun at Kerri’s! Ha!”
“Erin did great with my anxious Aussie raised in quarantine! He had tons of fun playing with her dog Lani in their giant yard. Erin also sends plenty of updates. My dog has never been boarded before but did really well with her.”
“Valerie is amazing with our fur babies. She is and has always has been our 1st choice for 4+ years. On this recent visit, our elderly fur baby was not feeling well. Valerie was quick to notify us (we were out of the country)...and after a visit to the vet, he returned to Valerie. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby!!”
“Camila and Lino took great care of our Chihuahua, Xia! They sent us lots of pictures and updates along the way and were responsive with any questions. Xia had a good socialization experience with other chill dogs that were there at the same time but they also took care to give her the extra special lap time she needed. They also have a nice big backyard for the pups to play in. Will book again!”
“Finley had a great time during his long stay while we were out of the country. Daily updates were provided including pictures and videos. Finley was super tired when we picked him up, indicating lots of great play time! Thanks again!”
“Teri is amazing, she took such good care of Ollie, he looked so happy when we picked him up. Teri sent us video and pics he warmed up with Teri in just a few hours, that is very unusual for him. Teri was able to trick him int taking his medicine, also difficult. Thank you Teri for taking such good care of but m while we attended our daughter’s wedding in Durham!”
“Even though my booking was so last minute, Bruna was able to accommodate me and my Koa. Bruna was responsive and kept in touch with me regarding Koa. I really felt at ease knowing my pup was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Bruna to anyone who would want their pet to be well taken care of!”
“Savannah was a great host for our puppy! She was very communicative and sent great updates and pics. Her dog Pongo made for a wonderful and safe playmate for our Georgie. Would definitely hire again!”
“David, or "Uncle David" as we now call him, is Ila's new favorite human! With work travel and a new puppy, I was so grateful to make the connection and have the confidence to know that Ila was being cared for by a total puppy pro. David looks after all the dogs in his care like they're his own. Ila was definitely living her best life, and we'll absolutely rely on David for future daycare and boarding. 5-stars, highly recommend!”
“Thank you again Denetra! She was really great during thus recent Thanksgiving holiday while I was traveling abroad. Denetra managed the special needs of Duke well and kept me informed of any changes”
“Bailey was amazing to work with drop off and pick up was easy. Communication was well. We love the pictures that she sent and we love that she did everything. She said she would do our puppies came home happy and we love that.”
“Olivia was great at taking care of our dog. She’s kept us consistently updated throughout the stay. She was also open to meet and greet before and help our dog get used to her home before we signed up. We highly recommend Olivia and will definitely use her service again.”
“Ravon and her husband were the nicest people! They took great care of out 3 cats, Great communicator! Sent pictures and updates to let us know how the cats were doing, highly recommend.”
“Amy is the best! My dog had a wonderful stay- he got lots of cuddles and got to play in her yard. He came back exhausted from all the fun. She sent lots of pictures and was super easy to communicate with.”

“Brittney has been a wonderful pet sitter! She completed all the tasks I asked of her and truly went above and beyond. When one of my cats made a mess with the feeder, she didn't mind cleaning it up at all and was incredibly accommodating to my changing needs while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had cats for many years, mostly indoor but some outdoor! So I understand the difference in the personalities of the cats and understand they need more patience. I've taken care and had senior cats and newborn kittens. I've been through all the stages and care.
“I've never used a pet sitting service before and had some reservations about doing so. The Rover app was recommended by a trusted family member and I chose Alexander based on his excellent reviews. I was immediately at ease after his meet and greet before we needed to leave town. I couldn't be happier with our experience!!! Alexander was consistently very responsive with excellent communication prior to our trip and graciously welcomed my worried mom check list for each of our critters. We received detailed daily reports on each pet with lots of reassuring observations and individual attention for each pet. I highly recommend booking with Alexander! We will absolutely book with him for future visits!!!”
“Excellent. Desiree is very dependable. She's also great with communication and pics and updates:) She also was really helpful recently when a large loose dog got into our yard - one of my male friends was scared of this dog but Desiree skillfully got the dog back outside our fence with no issues.”
“Excellent pet and house sitter! If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Completely satisfied and look forward to employing this sitter again! Communication was amazing, texted updates once per day on our pet! House care amazing, even offered to water my plants — so appreciated! Our cat could not have been happier or more cared for!”
About: I have helped with cats since I was little. Me and my sister found a kitten in a sewer in Mooresville North Carolina when I was about 7 or 8 me and my family helped to get her healthy and rehome her. Ever since then I have loved cats of all kinds. I have never personally owned one but I have watched neighbors cats while they were out of town since I was about 10.
“Kim was fabulous! She did drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town for 10 days and it was such a relief to have her. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
About: I rescued my 1st cat when I was about 11 years old. I have always had purr babies since that time - including rescuing a kitten in college. I would give your cats ultimate TLC and of course follow any guidelines you would like.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Butner
“Potato can require some help managing his energy and engaging appropriately in new situations. David talked us through his ideas of plans A and B and kept us updated. Thanks to his careful attention, Potato ended up having a fantastic day. He came home happy, relaxed, and absolutely exhausted! A raging success.”
“Teri was AMAZING! My dog Delilah is always super anxious around sitters, but she settled in very quickly with Teri. Teri was sweet, loving, kind, and gentle with my baby girl. Definitely a good pick!”
“Bruna took great care of my dog Sky! He had an amazing time with her, and I really appreciated the timely updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Bruna for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“My dog Finley was so happy to see Laura every morning and so sad to leave her house! He really bonded with her and her dog Marley despite his separation anxiety, and I’m so grateful for the positive experience they gave us!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!
About: **PLEASE RESPOND IN TIMELY MANNER AFTER RECEIVE REPLY TO REQUEST. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. 🙏🏾** I've taken care of family and friends' dogs since 2010, starting in Charlotte, NC. Longest I've kept one dog is for 2 weeks. I love taking care of dogs as if they were my own. Currently live in Durham, NC in my childhood home. I work from home, so I'm the perfect sitter that can entertain your dog while you're at work, away on vacay/trip, or just need some me time. I am a patient person and do have experience training a couple of dogs from not fearing their crate, knowing boundaries within house, and cease whining. I work from home Monday-Friday from 8-4:30 pm. I occasionally have appts and other events on the weekends, including attending church worship service. I'm at home the majority of the time. I have a pretty open concept in my house, but I close off doors to bedrooms and bathroom. I sometimes close off my hallway to keep in a secluded place in case of visitors or go to sleep at night. I take dogs out on leash, I currently do not have a fenced yard. I spend quality time with them and engage often and show plenty of love.
“Anitra was so quick to respond! She would send me pup updates throughout the day. Seeing Sydney in a calm and loving place made my day easier knowing she was well taken care of and it was plus seeing the dog park right next to her home! Would highly recommended!!”
“Chelsea and David were amazing! When I picked up my pup, she was happy and tuckered out! I would definitely bring my girl back to them when I come back into town. Can't recommend enough!”
“Randy is an outstanding dog sitter! He’s friendly, professional, and incredibly flexible with scheduling, making him a reliable choice for any pet owner. Our dogs loved him, and we highly recommend his services for a stress-free experience!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From my first mixed-breed pup in high school to raising my first Siberian Husky from just 3 months old, I've always loved caring for dogs. Honestly, I wish I'd known sooner that I could get paid to spend time with these amazing companions! I've house-trained my own furry babies and have loved watching them grow up alongside my hooman kiddos. Seeing the bond between them has been incredibly rewarding. Our home is full of love, and we can't wait to welcome your pup into it. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or snuggling, they'll be treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and care while you're away. I work from home and with both my kids now in school I have plenty of time to play and belly rub your fur babies throughout the day! I have a fenced yard with a friendly husky who loves to keep company to all hoomans and pups alike! I also have 2 kids who adore dogs—it’s a constant game of who gets who tired first. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: Hello, my senior dog of 14 years passed away recently, so I am looking to get my pup fix in while also helping you out! You can expect an attentive, caring and fun foster environment when your pet stays with me. I am an active individual who works from home and doesnt mind stepping out of the house 3 to 4 times a day to exercise and play with your pets! I currently live a block away from Duke's east campus, so your pup will have access to beautiful walks around the East Campus loop, the Trinity Park neighborhood, and the Eno River state park, if they are up for it! 🤠 I also have plenty of dog toys, dog beds, and a kennel if your dog is crate trained and prefers to sleep in a crate!

As mentioned above, I love being active with pets, so whatever your animals outdoor needs are, Im sure that I can fill them! I have easy access to Duke's East Campus loop, the Trinity Park Neighborhood, and the Eno River state park for all play and exercise needs.

My dog is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play! He gets along with all other kinds of furry friends. Our house is fairly good size with a lot of room for a dog to run around and play! He has a strict breakfast and dinner schedule that we follow daily as well.

“Ally is willing to go above and beyond to make all animals feel comfortable and cared for. She’s very responsive and provides any and all reassurance and communication.”
About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.
About: I grew up living with dogs and have consistently dog/house sat for friends and family for over a decade. I'm a recent PhD Graduate on the job hunt, so I can spend the days with you dog while working remotely I've pet sat throughout the past decade while working and during graduate school. I'm currently searching for a job, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog during the day I prefer to care for the dog in the client's home. Your dog is already missing you, they will feel more comfortable with me if they are at home
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. Back home in Tennessee, I have 2 Yorkies and a Goldendoodle, and I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. I’m patient, dependable, and love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pet’s specific needs and routine. I typically work mornings during the week and am usually home by mid afternoon, but I can adjust my schedule as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. I make it a priority to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I’m experienced with walks, potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.
About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.
About: I am a true animal lover. I have had pets my entire life (50+ years!!). I also volunteer at animal shelters and rescue organizations. I have saved animals lives...ask me about Luciano!. I know how much we love our pets and to many of us, they are our family and mean the world to us. That is how I would describe myself as well. I'm very trustworthy and responsible. If I make a commitment to care for your family member(s), I will give them TLC as if they were my own. If I had the ability, I would have my own sanctuary. I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns. I currently have almost open availability to care for your cherished pets. I can care for other animals as well, including lizards, snakes, fish, birds, bunnies, chickens, even pet rodents! Your pets safety is of upmost concern to me. I will follow whatever guidelines and preferences you have. Written information is helpful. I am extremely trustworthy.
About: Hey! My name is Jordan, I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 3 years and babysitting this past year for my friends and family! I just turned 18 so I can finally make an account of rover, but I love animals. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and cats and can match whatever energy your pet needs, whether that is going on a run, playing fetch, or chilling on the couch watching a show! Truth be told I care more about animals than people. Maybe that sounds harsh, in reality we do not deserve animals but we get the best companionship you could ask for. I’m currently away for school and can explain how much I miss my dog. I’m hoping to pour love into other pets while I can’t with my own ♥️ I am a part time cosmetology student at Aveda Chapel hill. My hours are 9 am to 8 pm Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Every other day I will be more than happy to spend time with your pets. I live with my 24 yo sister and her husband. They have a dog named Tony who is super sweet. Before being able to watch pets in my home I would have to introduce them to Tony to make sure both parties are safe. if I am watching your pet at your house feel free to ask me to wash dishes, straighten up or do a load of laundry! Same goes for housesitting!!
About: Every dog I meet is a companion full of joy, and excitement. I can't wait to be your canine's next good friend! Experience: At the age of 3 I immediately knew I loved dogs. As I grew, I took steps to surround myself with them. For 3 years in high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter taking all types of dogs on walks, bathing them, and working with them. I learned how to deal with dogs who weren't at their best and who had a wide range of personalities. Then, for two years I worked in a veterinarians office as an assistant due to my undying love of each and every dog. I have hosted dogs in my home in the past here on Rover over the course of 3 years, but now I am operating my fish farm, I am happy to drop in for your animals while you are away. I can give long walks, administer medication, drop in for feeding and litter box scraping, house sit, or farm sit (explicit experience with chicks/chickens/horses/fish/reptiles). I look forward to being a companion for you and your animals. I have a flexible routine on my farm that requires about 2 hours of my time every day. I will fit your animal care around those hours. In my home, my dog lives a life of luxury. I have a philosophy of observing an animal intensely and observing what they may need or want. Each animal has a different vibe and needs me in a different way.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My family had a wonderful mutt that arrived the same year that I was born, so he was essentially my puppy sibling. He has long passed away but I also have many years of experience dog sitting for my family and friends and can provide references. My current place won't let me have pets, so it will be awesome to get my fix by taking care of your wonderful dogs! I can't wait to meet them. I have a full time Monday-Friday job, but I am available on weekends, and after 5:30 during the week. I can be flexible, and try to accommodate your ad your pet's needs! Safety is my first priority. I will never have company or even food delivery inside of your home, and will never provide your address to anyone else, unless it is an emergency, in which case I will contact you directly first and get your permission to call my emergency contact (my mother)! I will make sure I feed and walk your dogs(s) consistently, and of course play with them and give them attention while you are away. I do not mind doing light housework, and I am comfortable with sitting for more than one dog.

“Very pleasant experience, Violette took exceptional care of Benji and kept in touch with pictures and videos. I could tell by the pictures and videos that he was having a great time with her and the other dogs. Will definitely use Violette again! Highly highly recommended!!!”
“Leaving our Ollie with Kerri for the 7 days we were out of town was the BEST decision we could have possibly made. She is super easy to communicate with. She has studied animal behaviors so I knew that no matter how many dogs she had (it was the 4th of July week-busy!) she would make the right decisions with how to handle our girl. She would send pictures and videos so we could see our girl. Kerri is very professional yet extremely easy to talk to and oh so friendly. Just use her-she’s the best. We didn’t know if Ollie would want to come back home to us bc she had so much fun at Kerri’s! Ha!”
“Erin did great with my anxious Aussie raised in quarantine! He had tons of fun playing with her dog Lani in their giant yard. Erin also sends plenty of updates. My dog has never been boarded before but did really well with her.”
“Valerie is amazing with our fur babies. She is and has always has been our 1st choice for 4+ years. On this recent visit, our elderly fur baby was not feeling well. Valerie was quick to notify us (we were out of the country)...and after a visit to the vet, he returned to Valerie. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby!!”
“Camila and Lino took great care of our Chihuahua, Xia! They sent us lots of pictures and updates along the way and were responsive with any questions. Xia had a good socialization experience with other chill dogs that were there at the same time but they also took care to give her the extra special lap time she needed. They also have a nice big backyard for the pups to play in. Will book again!”
“Finley had a great time during his long stay while we were out of the country. Daily updates were provided including pictures and videos. Finley was super tired when we picked him up, indicating lots of great play time! Thanks again!”
“Teri is amazing, she took such good care of Ollie, he looked so happy when we picked him up. Teri sent us video and pics he warmed up with Teri in just a few hours, that is very unusual for him. Teri was able to trick him int taking his medicine, also difficult. Thank you Teri for taking such good care of but m while we attended our daughter’s wedding in Durham!”
“Savannah was a great host for our puppy! She was very communicative and sent great updates and pics. Her dog Pongo made for a wonderful and safe playmate for our Georgie. Would definitely hire again!”
“David, or "Uncle David" as we now call him, is Ila's new favorite human! With work travel and a new puppy, I was so grateful to make the connection and have the confidence to know that Ila was being cared for by a total puppy pro. David looks after all the dogs in his care like they're his own. Ila was definitely living her best life, and we'll absolutely rely on David for future daycare and boarding. 5-stars, highly recommend!”
“Thank you again Denetra! She was really great during thus recent Thanksgiving holiday while I was traveling abroad. Denetra managed the special needs of Duke well and kept me informed of any changes”

“Olivia was great at taking care of our dog. She’s kept us consistently updated throughout the stay. She was also open to meet and greet before and help our dog get used to her home before we signed up. We highly recommend Olivia and will definitely use her service again.”
“Amy is the best! My dog had a wonderful stay- he got lots of cuddles and got to play in her yard. He came back exhausted from all the fun. She sent lots of pictures and was super easy to communicate with.”
“Everything about boarding with Evan was stellar. Great responsiveness, listened to all my instructions, inviting at dropoff. The farm is perfect for dogs! tons of fenced in room to roam. Lumi came home super zen and well exercised. Would recommend!”
“Goose had a great time staying with Emily! I got plenty of picture and video updates and she seemed very happy and comfortable. Emily was very responsive and took great care of her.”
