“Amy was wonderful! She sent me updates everyday. My pup is high energy and can be a handful but Amy was able to make her feel like part of the family. In fact my pup almost didn't want to leave. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my pup while we were on vacation. It was such a relief to know that my little girl was walked daily and got interaction with Kim’s children. Kim sent pictures everyday of Lexi and she always looked so happy in each picture. I appreciate Kim’s attention and great care of Lexi so much and I know Lexi is looking forward to another vacation with her!”
“Helena and her family were so good with our dog, Mugsy. She took the time to listen to and understand any special instructions, and sent us regular photos and updates. She reached out quickly when there was any questions or concerns. I can tell Helena truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”

About: Having been around and owned different animals all my life, I have years of experience with dog routines, feeding schedules, training habits and cuddles. I enjoy playing fetch and walking my pup daily and would love to include yours! I'm a stay at home mom so I'm around all the time for all your pets needs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly Lab and daughter that will keep your pup company. Going for walks or runs in the mornings with plenty of fetch in the backyard is a good day here.
“Mia was amazing with my anxious dog Reya! She was very communicative, took great care of her, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“My dog loved staying with Hunter!! She provided updates, photos, and videos which was so nice while I was away from my pup. I really feel like she went the extra mile and we will definitely be booking again! Thanks Hunter!! ❤️”
“Walker has some unexpected challenges while staying with Hilary and we felt that she navigated them well and also communicated them clearly. You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes! Our dog got plenty of exercise and playtime while there even though he had to stay crated more than usual. We were very pleased with Hilary!”
“Desi took great care of Bruno and he came back to us super happy and worn out (in a good way) since he got to play with other dogs the whole weekend. Desi was very good at communicating and sending photos/videos/updates of the dogs! Great sitter”
“Adam was great! My two pups loved staying with Adam and his pup, and came home happier than ever! He was very accommodating to a few changes along the way and available fairly last minute for a long duration. Will definitely book again when needed.”

“McKenna dis a great job caring for my 3 cats while we were away. She visited twice each day and provided medication to one of my cats. They were very relaxed and happy when we got home”
About: Hello! I have grown up with more pets than people in my household, and that has served me well. I am capable of handling multiple dogs on walks (there’s nothing more comical than juggling multiple leashes) and caring for both cats and dogs. I was an assistant in therapy dog training and puppy training for four years (Teamworks in Raleigh), and this has provided me with cognitive and behavioral insight into dogs. I also have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood growing up. My philosophy with pets is that they make the owner feel better and vice versa. I promise to take care of your pets as I would my own: with love, respect, and as much exercise as they deserve. I look forward to working with you. I work full time remotely, so have flexibility to take care of your pet’s needs. My weekend availability varies but my calendar will be up to date. I will take care of your pet in your home, where they will be most comfortable. I am also available for drop-ins, or walks while you are at work, or other non-stay related activities.

“Nolan was on time and communicative throughout the whole process including scheduling, confirming how to access the house and the actual drop-in. I was notified when he arrived, he sent multiple pictures and I was notified when he was leaving. I asked Nolan to give Alfie some treats when he left to keep him calm, and all went well and I got to enjoy my day away without having to worry about Alfie at all.”
“Shyloh is so great! I would definitely have her watch my fur babies again, I had no worries at all leaving them with her. She was prompt and made sure they were well cared for! She even made sure their dishes were cleaned for when we got home.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was about 5 or 6 ! To neighborhood cats to friend cats . I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and care I give each cat as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and what makes them comfortable, since cats can be very particular about their environment and people. I’m patient with shy cats, playful with energetic ones, and always make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their cat is being well cared for. My goal is to make every cat feel like they’re still in their normal routine and getting the same love and attention they would from their owner
About: I’m a loving and compassionate cat owner who understands how important it is for cats to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to individual personalities and enjoy giving them plenty of playtime and patience. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away!
About: I absolutely love animals, and as a dog owner and RN who works long hours, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby. I love taking dogs for walks and will take the safety and well-being of your pet very seriously. I grew up with animals and have always loved caring for them. Some of my first jobs were house-sitting for clients, so I have experience being responsible for pets and homes while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to chat with you about your needs and learn more about your fur baby! I currently only work three days a week so my schedule is flexible. I am willing to work with you to meet the needs of your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other care instructions. I also understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent and give them plenty of attention and affection.
“The kitties told us she was amazing! They even tried to play hide and seek with her, but she was too good for them. Patricia also played with them using their favorite toys. Thanks, Patricia, for making our kitties happy during our time away.”
“So easy to communicate with and she sent us adorable photos and video of our kitty. We are so grateful she was able to come out on Christmas morning to feed and snuggle with Tabitha. Thank you!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our cat Constantine. When Constantine was shy she helped her come out of hiding and explore her surroundings. Rebecca made sure Constantine felt safe in her home and provided her loving care while we were away.”

“We are camping in Wilkesboro and needed a sitter for our pups while we went to Boone for the day. Desi was quick to respond to our request (as I booked the day before) and made our first doggy day care experience very easy! She sent numerous pictures of our dogs while they were under her care. When I picked them up they were just as happy as they were when we dropped them off. Thank you so much Desi for taking care of our babies! We will be sure to reach out again when we are in town!”

“Jessica & Kevin were fantastic! My dog came home super tired after playing with their dog all day. I Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my pup. 10 out of 10 recommended and will definitely be using again.”
“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”
“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”
“Loved having Hunter available to watch Penny during the day. The fenced yard really helped her her energy out! Great communication and photos during the day. I knew she was well taken care of. Will definitely use Hunter again!”
“Melody was so sweet! My dog Roscoe had the best time with her and her dog, so much that he couldn’t stop playing the whole time he was there! She was so considerate and thoughtful! She gave him a bath (he was all dirty from the beach) and a cute little goodie bag when we left! So helpful to have him clean on our drive home! We are from out of town but definitely will be contacting her again when we need a sitter in Wilmington and will refer my friends to her! Worth every penny! Thank you!!”
“Extremely happy with the care and attention she gave Millie throughout her stay. Very accommodating and prompt communication. I loved getting little updates on how Millie was doing. Highly recommend! A BIG thank you!”
“Helena was quick and thorough with communication. She went above and beyond to help Dakota feel comfortable. It is evident how much Helena loves dogs and wants them to feel at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior pup with her.”
About: I grew up having cats and reptiles but I've always wanted a dog to have around. I want to experience what it would be like to have a dog so I can finally own one of my own one day. I love animals I wanted to become a vet when I was younger. I have a tortoise right now which is a good pet because they can live very long. I want to eventually own a farm and raise farm animal's when I get older. I use to also own fish and have a gecko as well. My children also take to animal's very well because they are kind and gentle souls like me. I want to provide an excellent service to anyone that needs it.
About: Having been around and owned different animals all my life, I have years of experience with dog routines, feeding schedules, training habits and cuddles. I enjoy playing fetch and walking my pup daily and would love to include yours! I'm a stay at home mom so I'm around all the time for all your pets needs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly Lab and daughter that will keep your pup company. Going for walks or runs in the mornings with plenty of fetch in the backyard is a good day here.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life! I currently have my own Belgian Malinois who adores humans and other dogs. She gets along with every dog she's been around, so she would be with me if I watched your babies! In the past I have worked at Greenlin Kennel where I have experience with multiple breeds. Pit bulls and bigger dogs included, I love them all. I have experience working there administering medicine to some of the older dogs, but I have experience with cats as well due to my own taking medicine. I have dog sat in the past for family friends, and i am able to overnight watch as well since I have a 2 bed apartment and plenty of space! I am free anytime as well during the day if you need someone to let your dog out for some fresh air and a walk as well. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully taking care of your fur babies!(: I just moved to the area, so I have plenty of free time to watch your babies and take them out during the day if need be! I have a friendly pup who loves to play with any size dog! I don't have a fenced yard, but there is a massive dog park by me that I can take the dogs to play at if allowed!
About: I have always had either a cat or dog. I recently had to say goodbye to our cat and lost my dachshund about 2 years ago. My son and I are not ready to get another pet of our own but, we would like to take care of your pet as we would our own. I have always been the "go to" trusted person for many of my friends for pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outdoors as much as possible. I usually go for a walk or run first thing in the morning and would love to have a buddy for that. I am also open to dogs that are older and need some extra time and attention. My Daschund had seizures for the last couple years of life so, I have experience with some senior dog issues. I work from home every day so, I can spend a lot of time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible so, I can scheduled in walk(s) and potty breaks throughout the day for in home and care at my home. I live in a very safe townhouse community with an ideal low traffic area for walks. I live very close to several parks. I have a screened in back porch and a small fenced in yard with grass. I am flexible and willing to do works best to keep your pet safe and happy.
About: For 12 years I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love animals so much and I always love helping out someone with their animals so they don’t have to board them or if you work a long day and need me to give them a walk. I can be very flexible with when you need me and I promise I will treat your animals as I would my own! I am currently working part time right now, so I can definitely be flexible with hours that fit your schedule. If you need me a day or night, I can be there to help with your animals! I have a completely fenced in backyard that is almost half an acre. My two dogs Lulu and Fez are sweethearts, and they have always gotten along with any dog or cat that I’ve brought over to the house.
“Laura was wonderful and so were her pups!! Will definitely book with her again. Great backyard that my dog loved and she handled his separation anxiety really well. Buddy loves her and her little fam!”
“This was our first ever Rover experience and we’re so glad we chose Valerie to watch Winnie so we could do some sightseeing. She was so quick to reply, so flexible with times and above all, so so wonderful w Winnie. So much playing in a fenced yard snd cuddling in the AC—I’m sure coming back to us was a disappointment for Winnie!! I wish there was a choice for 10 stars because that’s what she is.”
About: I have three dogs — a senior, a teenager, and a pup — so I understand energy levels at every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve trained all of them myself and know that different breeds need different things, especially mental stimulation. I make sure my dogs get that stimulation daily so they feel like they have a job, which has really helped with anxiety. I’ve also had a cat and volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated just like one of my own. I’m also a college student, so when I’m not in class I’m happy to come take care of your pets. I know your schedule matters, so I stay flexible and work around whatever timing suits you best. Your pet’s safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routines, keep an eye out for anything unfamiliar, and make sure doors and gates stay secure. With my own three dogs, I’m used to managing different temperaments and energy levels safely together, and my time volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to stay calm and attentive with pets I’m just getting to know. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

It gives me great peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and responsible hands. My dog is always happy and well cared for after every walk, and it’s clear she truly loves and understands animals. I trust her to always show up on time, handle my dog with care, and treat him like her own. I truly appreciate her consistency and the trust I can place in her to take great care of my dog.”
“No was great! She promptly arrived each day and gave Romeo a fun little walk in the neighborhood and lunch. She even hung out with him after the walk in the backyard while he enjoyed some sunshine. She was kind enough to bring up the trashcan on trash day when she noticed it was empty. I definitely recommend her as Romeo had a great week with his new buddy!”

I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need structure and play, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra care. I always follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress free. I’m currently a student at NC State, so pet care fits well into my routine in the afternoons and evenings. I have a flexible schedule during those times, which allows me to dedicate quality time for walks, play, feeding, and overall care. I’m reliable and consistent, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need. I focus on making every walk safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for your dog. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, energy level, and any specific needs before heading out. I always use secure leashes/harnesses, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid unsafe areas or extreme weather.

About: PLEASE READ OUR PROFILE FIRST BEFORE MESSAGING WITH QUESTIONS AS THIS WILL MOST LIKELY ANSWER YOUR MOST COMMON QUESTIONS AND HELP YOU FIGURE OUT IF THIS WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PET! ** My name is Brayden! I am married to my beautiful wife, Samantha and we have 4 dogs of our own (a Great Dane and 3 labs) and live with our two youngest children (13 and 17). We have grown up with dogs all of our lives and have the BIGGEST soft spot for animals of any kind. We enjoy being around animals because they make us laugh, smile, and generally just feel good. I have been in professional pet sitting for 20 years, 8 of which have been on Rover/private LLC. While I no longer offer boarding and daycare, I would LOVE to come and spoil your fur babies ant your place. In addition to dog walking as a business, we are involved in real estate and mental health counseling. In our free time we love being on the beach, jeep riding, riding our golf cart around, fishing, out on our boat, kayaking, or just relaxing and taking in the beautiful sunsets. We are highly experienced with over 20 years of caring for pets. I have experience with all kinds of pets from Great Danes and cats, to rabbits, birds, and snakes. I have extensive experience with a wide variety of animals. Pet Care has been my primary source of income for the past 8 years. As of writing this I am currently in Grad School getting my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as well as building my real estate career. Anyone that knows me will tell you that animals are a huge part of my life. I love spending time with them and being around them. It is very rewarding for me. I have experience with all kinds of animals and I have an immense amount of patience for puppies.
About: I can not resist dogs. They are so sweet! I would be happy to come to your home or have your pet come to me! My experience is mostly with large dogs but love the little ones too. I have experience watching cats, fish and turtles as well. I understand that everyone cares for their pet differently and will make sure to care for your pet the way that he/she is accustomed, following any rules you lay out and care for your pet just like you do. You can rest assured knowing I will love your pets! I enjoy long walks with dogs and can take dog to the nearby dog park. I work from home and have a totally flexible schedule. I am available everyday and in the evenings. I am self employed and my work time is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks, potty time, play time, etc as needed for the pet. I have a small fenced in yard. I live near the beach for beach walks and near the state park for some nice shaded walks. There is also a dog park near by. I try to get as much information about the pet as possible and how it is normally cared for to keep things as close to normal as possible for the pet.

“Thelma had a great time running around the yard! Robert send along cute photos and was flexible when our plans had to change last minute. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren took great care of our 11-year-old lab/hound mix. Her dog and my dog got along well. Lauren sent updates once a day which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend. We will reach out again when we are in Wilmington area.”
“Erin was a great sitter! She provided lots of updates and my cattle dog had lots of fun running around with her golden retriever in their huge fenced yard. Would definitely use Erin again in the future!”
“Amy was wonderful! She sent me updates everyday. My pup is high energy and can be a handful but Amy was able to make her feel like part of the family. In fact my pup almost didn't want to leave. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my pup while we were on vacation. It was such a relief to know that my little girl was walked daily and got interaction with Kim’s children. Kim sent pictures everyday of Lexi and she always looked so happy in each picture. I appreciate Kim’s attention and great care of Lexi so much and I know Lexi is looking forward to another vacation with her!”
“Kimberly and her family took amazing care of my little old pup. Gave him love and snuggles sent updated photos to us the whole time we were away. What an incredible experience. We will absolutely be using Kimberly as our sitter again!”
About: Having been around and owned different animals all my life, I have years of experience with dog routines, feeding schedules, training habits and cuddles. I enjoy playing fetch and walking my pup daily and would love to include yours! I'm a stay at home mom so I'm around all the time for all your pets needs. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly Lab and daughter that will keep your pup company. Going for walks or runs in the mornings with plenty of fetch in the backyard is a good day here.
“Mia was amazing with my anxious dog Reya! She was very communicative, took great care of her, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“My dog loved staying with Hunter!! She provided updates, photos, and videos which was so nice while I was away from my pup. I really feel like she went the extra mile and we will definitely be booking again! Thanks Hunter!! ❤️”
“Walker has some unexpected challenges while staying with Hilary and we felt that she navigated them well and also communicated them clearly. You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes! Our dog got plenty of exercise and playtime while there even though he had to stay crated more than usual. We were very pleased with Hilary!”
“Desi took great care of Bruno and he came back to us super happy and worn out (in a good way) since he got to play with other dogs the whole weekend. Desi was very good at communicating and sending photos/videos/updates of the dogs! Great sitter”
“Adam was great! My two pups loved staying with Adam and his pup, and came home happier than ever! He was very accommodating to a few changes along the way and available fairly last minute for a long duration. Will definitely book again when needed.”
“Andrew is an excellent dog sitter, highly recommended. He took great care to keep us informed with updates and photos of our dog. He was understanding of flight delays and plans changing to make for a stress free vacation. Thank you!”
“Harley thoroughly enjoyed staying with Rebecca in her home. Rebecca took great care of Harley with companionship, walks, playing and feedings this past weekend. We would definitely ask Rebecca to watch Harley again. Thank your Rebecca - you're the best!!”
“Valerie was so flexible when my boarding dates changed 10+ times for pickup and drop off. She sent tons of photos of Finn and he came home so happy and well taken care of. Will 100% use Valerie for my future boarding needs!”
“Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.”
“This is my second time booking with Stephanie and I would recommend her to any friend. She takes such great care of my dog and sends daily updates. She takes my dog on adventures and he enjoys his stay.”
