“My dog has stayed with Sara a few times now and absolutely loves her. She takes great care of him in all ways. I will definitely have him stay with her again! We could not be happier!”
“Megan took care of my goldendoodle Pinki , You can really see her love for animals. She is so charismatic and attentive. You would be silly not to hire her to care for your animals. She is a package deal!! 10/10 Would reccomend!”
“Coco is my mini Dachshund shadow, and fur companion. We have bonded in our 5 weeks since her adoption. She has been a great source of comfort in a quiet home since the passing of my spouse. Kimberly and her family were available to care for my lil Diva Princess, on short notice. The original boarder was no longer available and I had a trip planned to visit with my daughter out of state. I am truly grateful for the new connection we have made with Kimberly. CoCo was integrated into her family as if she was their own, and I sincerely appreciate the love and care they extended to her. Kimberly’s daughter, Ava spent a lot of time loving CoCo, playing with her, and teaching her new tricks. If you are looking for a sitter that will treat your fur pup like her own, then I encourage you to reach out and try Kimberly.”
“Another 10/10 experience!! Naomi is very accommodating and sweet! This was Pebbles’ second time and it definitely went smoother when it was time for me to leave! She is 100% my go-to girl!!”
“Tango LOVES going to Margo’s. He gets to be his full golden retriever self and they love him too. He gets plenty of exercise and becomes part of the family! We will use Margo any time she is available!”
“Larry and Pamela were great with Odin. They sent pictures each day and kept me up to date on how things were going. I will definitely use their services next time I need someone to watch Odin.”
“We found a jewel in Allison. She was loving to our dog Bailey and I didn’t worry one bit after I met Allison. She had her own dog for Bailey to play with and also a little boy that Bailey clearly loved! I had to go out of town for a drs appointment. It was so nice not to worry about Bailey while she was with Allison. I’ve definitely got a sitter now for Bailey when I have something to do. Thank you Rover and Allison!!”
“Margo and Thomas were amazing with Thor! He was a very happy puppy when we picked him up and very tired from all the exercise he got while there. We got daily updates and pictures of how he was doing while we were gone. We will definitely be using them again for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“First time using rover or anything similar! We were so nervous but had to leave town for a funeral. Fransisco put all of our worries to bed! He agreed to a meet and greet with us and the dogs before we even booked. His location couldn't be any better for your pups vacation. With a dog park across the street and a fenced in backyard our dogs came home happy and chipper. I can't tell you how much happier our dogs were with Fransisco compared to boarding them. Last time we boarded our dogs they came home exhausted, smelly, paranoid. With Fransisco you can leave your pups with full spirits knowing they'll will be perfectly safe and healthy. Fransisco also has great animal expertise, when it comes to dogs with health complications, he is the pup sitter you NEED!”
“Morgan was great!!! Leaving your pet is hard enough , but knowing my dog was in great hands made it easier. She kept me informed and sent pictures during my time away. I would recommend her to friends and family! Thank you Morgan so very much!”
“Rory stayed with Jamie & Lexi in 2018 when she was 1.5 yrs old. Now, 3 yrs later, she seemed to remember them and settle in even more quickly. Jamie really spoils her. and I got spoiled too getting regular texts and photos. I highly recommend Jamie and hope to use her more regularly now that traveling is back!”
“Kentrice took very good care of our 10.5 yr old basset hound, sent pictures and kept us updated. Our dog has separation anxiety and she seemed at ease with Kentrice. I would definitely recommend and will use her in the future if needed.”
“Joselyn took great care of my high-energy puppy! My pup clearly felt right at home and loved playing with Joselyn's chihuahua, and Joselyn kept us up-to-date with pictures. Definitely recommend!”
“Teia provided care closest to how Bella’s normal life is. She doesn’t have any other pets and got to be loved on and cared for just like at home. Teia was very flexible and met and booked very fast. Also great response time throughout the whole process.”

“I was very pleased with Kristina's daily updates and the care she took in watching Nymphadora while I was away. She went above and beyond and even helped put the cover back on my motorcycle when she noticed it wasn't fully on. The photo updates were also nice to receive and made me laugh seeing Nymphadora peeking at the new people in her home.”

“I was seeking reputable drop-in service for my cats on the internet and came across the Rover.com website, which was extremely easy to use, offering 5 star services. That's when I reached out to Allie. Upon meeting her, I liked her from the first moment. She was both professional and personable, and my discernment was that she would be completely trustworthy. It was evident from the start that she is a "natural" with kitty cats. My husband and I were completely at ease with having Allie drop-in on our "fur babies", allowing us to enjoy our family vacation. We truly appreciated all the updates she gave us on our pets, including the photos and videos. She went above and beyond to ensure all of our kitties' needs were met. I most definitely will call on Addie again when we have to be out of town.”
“Autumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Calypso
About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊

About: Hey there! I’m Allie. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and my goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always recommend a meet and greet so we can get acquainted and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pets. I like to take the time to sit down, get to know both you and your pets, and answer any questions you may have. I moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 2019 when my husband’s military service brought us here. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting full time while completing my college studies. At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets. I’ve spent my life around animals and have worked professionally in nearly every area of pet care, including animal hospitals, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and in-home pet sitting. These experiences allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. Including administering medications and providing extra support for pets with medical or behavioral needs. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, goats, and horses. If I haven’t worked with a species yet, I’m always eager to learn. No two animals are alike, and I love discovering what makes each one special so I can provide care tailored to their personality and needs. I am very flexible and able to provide your pets lots of quality time. 30 Minute Drop in: This is a quick visit to check in on your pet. I’ll let them out for a potty break, refresh food and water, give any needed meds or treats, and spend time playing or cuddling. I’ll send you photos and updates along the way. Perfect for a midday break or some company while you’re away. Overnight Stay: Your pet will have company and care throughout the night. I’ll follow your evening routine with dinner, a potty break, any meds, playtime, then stay overnight for supervision and comfort. In the morning, I’ll handle breakfast, another potty break, and fresh water, while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Light home care, like checking mail or plants, can also be included. Ideal for pets who need extra comfort and prefer staying in their own home. When caring for others pets I treat them as my own. Whatever your pet needs, I'll happily accommodate them to the best of my ability. I always triple check doors are locked when I leave, and that there is nothing in reach that could be harmful to your pets. (human food, dog treats, toys etc)

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving your four-legged family member personalized care, comfort, and attention—so you can feel at ease, knowing they’re in a loving home. I currently have a full-time job, but it still leaves me plenty of time to take care of and attend to your pets. In addition to boarding, I also offer walking services, house check-ups, and more. I’m available every holiday and weekend, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment to ensure both the pet and owner feel secure. Here’s how I approach each: In My Home: • Safety: My home is pet-proofed to remove any potential hazards, such as exposed wires, toxic plants, and small objects that could be swallowed. I also create separate areas for pets that need quiet spaces, ensuring they can feel safe and relaxed. • Trust: I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular walks, and offer plenty of attention, ensuring pets feel secure and loved. I also keep owners updated with photos or texts, providing peace of mind. • Environment: I offer a warm, inviting space with plenty of room for pets to play and rest. My home is clean, free of clutter, and equipped with comfortable bedding, toys, and a designated outdoor area for play. In Client’s Home: • Safety: I follow all instructions from the owner closely regarding feeding, medication, and specific care routines. I also do a safety check of the home, ensuring gates are locked, harmful substances are out of reach, and the environment is secure. • Trust: Building trust is key. I arrive on time, follow the owner’s rules, and communicate regularly with updates. This builds rapport with both the pet and the owner. • Environment: I maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. This includes adhering to familiar walk paths, playtime schedules, and sleeping arrangements in their own home, creating a smooth, stress-free experience. This balance of safety, trust, and comfort helps me ensure that each pet is well cared for, whether in my home or theirs.

“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“First time using rover or anything similar! We were so nervous but had to leave town for a funeral. Fransisco put all of our worries to bed! He agreed to a meet and greet with us and the dogs before we even booked. His location couldn't be any better for your pups vacation. With a dog park across the street and a fenced in backyard our dogs came home happy and chipper. I can't tell you how much happier our dogs were with Fransisco compared to boarding them. Last time we boarded our dogs they came home exhausted, smelly, paranoid. With Fransisco you can leave your pups with full spirits knowing they'll will be perfectly safe and healthy. Fransisco also has great animal expertise, when it comes to dogs with health complications, he is the pup sitter you NEED!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Through my veterinary class, I learned how to recognize behavior cues, signs of distress, and how to keep pets safe, calm, and cared for. I also gained experience grooming and handling dogs with gentleness and patience. On top of that, I cared for my own dog for nine amazing years—he taught me that love, trust, and attention make all the difference. I’m a full-time student Monday through Friday, but I get out early on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I’m available for afternoon and evening visits those days. I’m also fully available on weekends, and Saturdays and Sundays are my most flexible days. If you ever need a specific time, feel free to message me I’m happy to work with your schedule! When I visit your home or take your pet on a walk, safety is my top priority. I follow your routine exactly — feeding, potty breaks, and any special instructions you have. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before heading out. On walks, I stay alert to other animals and keep your pet close and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away.
