“I wish I could give Heather and John more than 5 stars! They took wonderful care of both my timid older dog and crazy puppy boarding for over a week, and sent lots of pictures and updates to calm my nerves about leaving the little guy for the first time. The dogs appeared at home and comfortable from the first day. Heather and John were also flexible about extending for a couple of extra days when weather changed our travel plans, saving the end of our trip. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog. She provided pictures and updates and responds quickly to txt messages. The backyard is fenced. Very pleasant experience! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, safe environment for pet care!! 🐾🐾 NL”
“Evil and Fritz were terrific! They were very understanding of our dog’s behavior and needs. They sent photos and messages regularly. Ziggy looked so well cared for and content with them. I’m so glad we found such good caregivers.”
“Alice pet sat our 3 cats and dog for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went! This was our first time using her services, and she completely exceeded our expectations. What stood out most was her incredible communication. She sent detailed updates every day—even twice a day at the beginning—along with photos and videos. I wasn’t worried for a single moment because I knew what was going on with my pets in even more detail than if I had left them with my dearest friend. Alice didn’t just follow instructions—she genuinely problem-solved for our pets’ comfort. When she noticed the cats weren’t eating as much, she realized their food was near a cold window and moved everything to a warmer spot. She relocated all their things—food bowls, litter boxes, and water fountain—to the warmest room so they’d be comfortable. That kind of initiative really impressed us. She paid attention to each pet’s unique personality. She noticed Max loves carrying toys in his mouth (he even brought one on a walk and dropped it somewhere along the way!), that Dino meows toward the supply bags, and caught adorable moments like Ashly sleeping with her head hanging off the couch arm. She knew exactly which brush Dino goes crazy for and that Ashly loves being rolled over for pets. She was also patient and gentle with our shyest cat, Kailas, who spent most of his time hiding under the bed. She found ways to bond with him on his terms—leaving lollipop treats near him and noticing he’d quietly eat them when she wasn’t looking. By the end, she even had him eating from her hand! You can tell Alice genuinely loves animals. Her updates were full of warmth and personality that very often made us smile while we were reading them. We had complete peace of mind knowing our pets were in such attentive, loving hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Emily and her partner were great! They were super communicative and flexible with pick up/drop off times. They sent me lots of updates which I really appreciated. My dog had a great time with them!”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Megan, was excellent with my pup. She was very energetic, and I could tell my dog enjoyed every moment with her. Highly recommend to ensure your pup has a great time while you're away!”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Denise was great! She sent me pictures and updates. I knew that.Kornwallis was well cared for. Her own dog Grover Cleveland was a perfect host. We would definitely recommend Denise and will use her in the future! Kornwallis approve this message!”
“Ziggy was excited to go back for an overnight with Anthony and he seems to have made a great play buddy with Indie. We're happy to know Ziggy feels at home while we are away!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals since I was a kid. That being said, I’m comfortable around dogs, cats, exotic pets, birds, reptiles- you name it, I’m a huge animal lover! When I moved away for college I brought my childhood dog with me who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she faced some health issues as she got older, but I was lucky enough to be able to care for her until she was 17! Because of my time spent with her, I am comfortable and experienced with dogs from the puppy age to seniors, have administered pills and topical medication numerous times, have no problem with bathing and grooming, etc. I also fostered a dog and started up my rover after my dog passed and since then I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many more fur babies. No pet is a challenge for me! I work full time during the week, but am looking to fill my free time with a serotonin boost from your pup! I love dogs and as a dog owner, I know that it’s sometimes hard to fit 3 walks a day into a crazy packed schedule, or spontaneously take a day trip somewhere, so I’d like to help! I am typically available for evening walks during the week but and completely flexible on weekends! It is my goal to ensure you that I will be respectful of your home and privacy, as well as your dogs normal schedule. I am reliable and trust worthy, and can adapt to any dogs personality, whether they are shy, reactive, hyper, or sleepy! I’ve walked dogs as small as 5 pounds to as big as 90, so no dog will be a challenge! I’m very attentive while on walks to make sure your dog does not hurt themself/ eat something they shouldn’t/ mess with another dog. I can be flexible with any precautions I’d need to take with your dog whether that be medication, assistance with mobility or anything else! Your dogs comfort is my first priority!

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.
“I had such a great experience with Evie and Fritz! My dog Miso was so happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates and photos I got throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
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!
“Cynthia is awesome!! I have a 6.5 month old lab with a high energy level. Cynthia’s home is extremely inviting for all dogs and all different temperaments. Her two yellow labs are extremely sweet and my dog loves to play with them. This was my first time using Rover given my pup is so young. Cynthia took the time to talk to me about how she handles the dog in a positive manner, never violent. She made she to give me updates during the day and sent lots of cute photos. 10/10 recommend and have already booked more days with her.”

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life -- I grew up with 2-4 dogs in the house at any given time, and I've had my own cat Olive for 3 years now. I love to be around animals, and I'm excited to care for yours like they're mine while you're away! I'm prepared to meet your pet's needs where they're at, from providing multiple walks a day, or just being a calm presence in the room to ease loneliness. I'm working part-time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I am also more than happy to accommodate for multiple visits per day. Safety, conscientiousness, and cleanliness are at the center of my pet care ethos. I'm happy to take in mail/packages, water plants, or do any other necessary tasks while you are away as well!

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals taught me how to provide attentive care, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind. I have experienced with administering medications, anxious, and reactive pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day to feed, walk, play, and provide companionship. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits and walks while maintaining a consistent routine, so pets receive the attention and care they need. I prioritize each pet's safety and comfort by carefully following the owner's instructions and maintaining their normal routine. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and closely monitor pets during walks and playtime. I also pay attention to each pet's behavior and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life, including my current cat, Bandit! I worked in a veterinarian office throughout high school, assisting in the administration of medications and care of animals preparing for/recovering from surgical procedures. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout college, as well as pet sitting for friends, and love caring for animals! I am a recent college graduate and do not start my full-time job until October, so I am highly available for the summer to help care for pets. I have a ton of walking trails near my house and am very happy to walk (or even run, for our high energy furbabies!) as much as your pet desires. My current cat is quite shy, so I am unable to host pets for stays at my house.
About: I've grown up around all kinds of animals, and have grown a soft spot specifically for dogs and cats. Over the years, I have pet sit for many friends and family, making me a reliable source. I'm a recent high school graduate who has a lot of time on her hands, and would love to spend that time getting to know your pets! Whenever I go to pet sit, I always bring a bag with yummy treats, and fun toys. I also always make sure that they feel safe and comfortable.

I don't have any pets at home, but I have a great neighborhood for walks and a nearby park. After years of babysitting, I am used to taking care of both kids and pets in a family's home. I am happy to play, walk, feed, and cuddle with your pet in your home!

I am free pretty much the entire day everyday to give your pet care. I enjoy spending time with my pets. Hanging out with them in the home, bringing them out for a walk or run, either on a trail or in the woods, and bringing them on a car ride to go complete daily errands.

I’ve also spent plenty of time with cats, understanding their unique personalities and making sure they feel comfortable and at ease.

My compassionate approach ensures every pet feels safe and loved while in my care. As a college student with summer break approaching, my schedule is opening up, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. Even during the school year, I balance my part-time job with pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m great at managing my time and making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need.

About: I grew up in a home full of pets, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. I have years of hands-on experience walking dogs, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure they feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always focus on making their time with me fun, comfortable, and stress-free. I am currently interning part-time in Manteo, so I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, and my schedule is open during all other days of the week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while always prioritizing their safety. I’m careful with leashes, aware of their surroundings, and attentive to each dog’s energy level and needs. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with respect—keeping areas clean, refreshing food and water, and making sure pets are happy and relaxed before I leave. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. Above all, I focus on patience, kindness, and treating every pet as if they were my own.
About: Growing up, I was always the person that friends and neighbors called when they needed someone to care for their furry friends. I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, including seniors who benefit from extra patience and attention.

As a grad student, I have an extremely flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate! I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. My classes take up a small portion of my week, which means more playtime and cuddles for your pet! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe and cared for while maintaining the routine they’re used to. I follow instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, meds, crate routines, and any other specific needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take time to learn their personalities and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals since I was a kid. That being said, I’m comfortable around dogs, cats, exotic pets, birds, reptiles- you name it, I’m a huge animal lover! When I moved away for college I brought my childhood dog with me who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she faced some health issues as she got older, but I was lucky enough to be able to care for her until she was 17! Because of my time spent with her, I am comfortable and experienced with dogs from the puppy age to seniors, have administered pills and topical medication numerous times, have no problem with bathing and grooming, etc. I also fostered a dog and started up my rover after my dog passed and since then I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many more fur babies. No pet is a challenge for me! I work full time during the week, but am looking to fill my free time with a serotonin boost from your pup! I love dogs and as a dog owner, I know that it’s sometimes hard to fit 3 walks a day into a crazy packed schedule, or spontaneously take a day trip somewhere, so I’d like to help! I am typically available for evening walks during the week but and completely flexible on weekends! It is my goal to ensure you that I will be respectful of your home and privacy, as well as your dogs normal schedule. I am reliable and trust worthy, and can adapt to any dogs personality, whether they are shy, reactive, hyper, or sleepy! I’ve walked dogs as small as 5 pounds to as big as 90, so no dog will be a challenge! I’m very attentive while on walks to make sure your dog does not hurt themself/ eat something they shouldn’t/ mess with another dog. I can be flexible with any precautions I’d need to take with your dog whether that be medication, assistance with mobility or anything else! Your dogs comfort is my first priority!

“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“We were so thrilled with Nathan and Becky and how well they cared for Oliver! We got great pictures and updates every day, and they even had a couple breakthroughs with him on behavior that they were able to share with us. They clearly loved him well and we will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
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.
“Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!”
“Adrian did an amazing job taking care of our two little boys. He was great at communicating and keeping me updated on how they were doing and sent many photos. I really appreciate that because I have a very hard time leaving them but I felt comfortable with them in his care.They are a bit quirky and he was comfortable handling and caring for their specific needs. He kept them comfy,safe and kept them busy being outside and going on walks. It was a very good experience for us.”
