“Alice responded to questions quickly and sent photos of our two pups while she was caring for them. It was their first first time belng left with someone else, so she understood they might be apprehensive. She communicated observations with us, which we appreciated. We were. grateful for her help while we had to be away for meetings. We did tip her when we picked up our pups.”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Ruby had a great time at Vanessa’s! She was very well taken care of and had lots of new adventures. Vanessa made sure to send me regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated.”
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”
“Best sitter ever!!! So caring. Sent photos of my baby while sitting her made me feel so confident and trusting of her. My dog even showed affection toward her right away and made me feel relieved!! Will def book again❤️🥰😘until next time!!”
“I give Emily and Will 1000/10 stars!! They really integrated circuit into their own family, which made my husband and I feel at ease for our trip. They sent photos daily, and didn’t mind us actually messaging them to see how our guy was doing. Always responded right away. Will takes their dog, Duncan, for a walk every morning and he made Circuit apart of their daily routine. If you are going away and need a dog sitter, choose Emily and Will. Your dog won’t be with a rover, they will be with a family who will treat your dog as such.”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Lauren is absolutely amazing! She graciously accommodated an extremely last minute week-long booking for my Asher. Communication was excellent, with pictures! It was so reassuring to know that she has a fenced in backyard, which Asher enjoyed. I definitely recommend her and would be honored for Lauren to take care of my pup again! Thank you, Lauren!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”

“Eva is absolutely wonderful! My dog is usually a bit uneasy around new people, but within five minutes of meeting Eva, he was completely calm—she just has an incredibly soothing disposition. Not only is she fantastic with animals, but she’s also an incredibly reliable and flexible professional. When we missed our flight, she stepped in at the very last minute to cover an extra shift without hesitation. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kate was great with Kai and Misifu! Usually they are pretty scared at first with new people, but they seemed to really like Kate a lot. She’s super gentle and made sure to take care of them as if they were her own. Highly recommended!!!”
“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”
“Ginger took incredible care of my cats, sending me tons of pictures and information during each visit. I could confidently trust that my babies were cared for, socialized, and fed. I will definitely be asking Ginger to cat sit next time I go on a trip :)”
“Autumn was amazing. It was clear that she is great with animals, and my cat immediately warmed up to her. She sent pictures and kept me updated all weekend. She also was very easy to communicate with. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“My cats were so well taken care of, especially after all the plans changed and they decided to be dramatic about their food. Really appreciate her flexibility and understanding.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, but didn’t have dogs too until 7 years ago. Since then I have found the ability to manage 4 pets all together and make sure they have equal amount of love and attention that they deserve. I’m currently looking for a full time job, as I have just graduated college. Since I’m a big animal lover, with 4 pets myself, I’m looking to spend some of my free time taking care of animals- because what’s better than hangouting with our 4 legged friends. I have a spacious backyard where my pets play. As well as in my neighborhood I am able to take them on walks on the sidewalk. Near my neighborhood is also the Carolina Forest, where I take my dogs for walks frequently.
“Samantha watched our cat for 11 days and she was always communicative and responsive and sent lots of pictures. I felt much better knowing she was taking care of him!”
“Betsy is great! Very reliable with good communication. She went above and beyond making sure the house temperature was comfortable when our A/C went out and retrieving our cat when he slipped out. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have taken care of probably more cats that I have dogs at this point. From young to very old. To a pretty good range of breeds, am very open to cats and have been working with them for close to 5 years now.
“Aspen was perfect! She is timely, responsive, and sent us tons of photo updates of our cat Nessy while we were away, where you could see how the two of them were clearly getting along great :) highly reccomend!”
“Irene was wonderful with my two cats and included lots of great photos! She also was a great communicator and was flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. I would highly recommend her!”
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
“Brianna did such a wonderful job of watching my boys. They were so happy to have such a kind and loving friend while we were out of town. Will 100% be booking with her the next time I have to head out of town. Thank you!!”
“Cassie was wonderful. Our cats were comfortable and happy with her, and her communications with us were on point. She took good care of our house and let us know when she had questions or concerns. We are especially grateful that she was cheerful and flexible when our flight got cancelled and we were delayed getting back. She really came through for us! We will book with her again.”
“Elena was excellent! She has experience with lots of different animals and was excited to learn about all of our pets. She did an amazing job keeping them happy while we were away. She sent updates and pictures and I could tell that she truly enjoys animals and pet sitting. We can’t wait to have her back!”

“Can I give six stars?? Evie and Fritz provided the exact care we were looking for. Great spaces for playing and cuddling, steady stream of attention, and pure love for dogs. When our pup got too distracted to eat dinner, they sat with her to make sure she was fully fed. Highly recommend and cannot wait to book with them again!”
“Bubba had an amazing time with Adrien and David!! We were worried as first time, dog owners and with her being so young (10 weeks), but they made her first experience at doggy daycare seamless! Could not recommend them more highly!”
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I currently have four of my own and bring years of hands-on experience caring for special and medical needs pups. As a former dedicated foster, I’m confident handling a variety of personalities and care routines, while happily welcoming all dogs. Dogs enjoy plenty of activity (or not!) with access to a large, fenced yard and walks in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. My dogs are relaxed, friendly, and adjust well to new companions. I’m best suited for dogs who are housebroken and have good home manners. No matter if you’re looking for daycare, overnight boarding, social time, or longer-term care, this is a warm and reliable spot for your pup. ***I do require a meet and greet at my house prior to a stay. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be home throughout the day. I’m always home in the evenings and maintain a structured routine for feeding and medication needs. Daily walks are part of our routine with one of my dogs and are available for visiting pups as well, weather permitting. We almost always have soothing music on to keep a very chill vibe! A safe, comfortable stay with plenty of space to relax and explore. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard and a screened-in porch perfect for lounging and watching neighborhood activity (and local wildlife!). I prioritize safety by crating or gating dogs when I’m away briefly, and I’m rarely gone for more than a couple of hours. While I’m home, pets enjoy free roam and can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable—including bedtime. My own dogs are very relaxed but social and engaged. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy low to moderate activity and interaction but are also able to settle down and relax or play on their own. For everyone’s comfort and safety, visiting pups should be friendly, well-behaved, and non-aggressive.
“Cynthia is attentitive and an experienced pet owner! She cares about her packs health in every way - mental, emotional, and physical. She takes dogs on multiple walks/hikes a day and also carefully supervised play. She’s quick to bring dogs in line if they act out and they respond to her as the pack leader. Your dog will be safe and healthy!”
“Kind, caring and very reliable dog sitters. Our little pup always came back seeming happy and well cared for and would pull on the leash to get back into their house the second time around. Fantastic!”
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
About: I am an experienced, attentive, and responsible pet care-giver providing peace-of-mind and a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax while you are away for work or travel. I grew up loving and caring for every kind of pet you can imagine and I have 18 years experience caring for cats. I also have 10 years experience caring for a cockatiel and I love parrots. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can host pets in my home and can also visit your home for pet care during weekend days and in the evening. I live in a townhome neighborhood with lots of room to walk and a green space in the back. I work at a computer and take regular breaks to move around and check on my cat and other pets that I am hosting. I usually sit on the floor while I work so dog friends and other cuddly pets can sit near me if they want and get pets and attention any time. My space is clean and calm with room for pets to move around freely or rest on a comfy couch or pet bed.
About: We have had dogs in our family for years. I have all the basic experience of taking care of a crate trained dog. We also had a high energy Australian shepherd that had to go boot camp a few times…that being said I understand their training is very important to keep up so I am open and receptive to all their training and dietary needs. I am available through August most days. I am a school teacher so once the school year starts up I will be available for afternoon drop ins or boarding etc. With all the instructions you provide me for them and exceptional love and care. Furry friends deserve to feel comfortable too. I will take any crates, beds, toys etc. that they need and try to keep them on their routine as close as possible.

I’m currently a college student home for summer break so I have lots of time to dedicate to animals and making sure they are taken care of! When entering a clients home, I ensure no passwords or key codes are shared with others and no one else is entering the house. I ensure that I only enter necessary rooms for the animals care and that everything is locked up when I leave.

My schedule is quite open currently and I would love to spend time with animals of all kind! I'm currently teaching part time (T/Th 930-12pm). Otherwise, my schedule is quite open for dog walks, dog/cat visits, and other fun stuff! I will always be very diligent with any pet care issues. My partner works at a vet, therefore, I have quick access to help and am able to ask them questions regarding any animal health issues.

I understand that anxiety, but it is my goal to ease that worry by reassuring you that your pet is always safe and happy.

She’s helped her develop confidence on walks, and was open to watching some short training videos we are using to help Marx develop loose leash walking habits.
