“Awesome person, professional, kind and caring person that took great care of my dog. Upon meeting her and talking to her, I was put at ease and felt that she would take great care of my dog, who is my family. Thanks so much Linda!”
“Victor was amazing with our dog, Summer! Not only did he stand daily photos of her looking happy, but he was extremely flexible with drop off and pick up. Even when we hit stranded out of the country fur two extra days, Victor was incredibly accommodating and we never had ti worry about our Summer. His home is clean and spacious, with a perfect fenced outdoor area, and he obviously loves pets. I would 100% book with Victor again and highly recommend him without hesitation.”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Jennifer was wonderful with our dog, Pepper! She was responsive, flexible, and very friendly throughout the stay. We appreciated the updates she sent, including photos from the weekend, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her messages that Pepper was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Jennifer and her family were so sweet with her, and it was heartwarming to hear how much they enjoyed having Pepper around. Communication was great from start to finish, and we always felt like Pepper was in good hands. It’s obvious Jennifer genuinely loves dogs. She took the time to get to know Pepper, and it showed in the thoughtful updates she shared. Pepper came home happy and relaxed, and we could tell she had been well cared for. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter!”
“I couldn’t be happier! They treated my girl like family!!! Super accommodating, checking in all the time tons of pics! Honestly I will never board her else where unless I have too! They are the BEST!”
“Annie took amazing care of my pup. I knew the entire time she was loved and had a great time! Highly recommend and will contact Annie again soon to book another sitting. Thank you so much Annie!!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“As we arrived at Evelin's house while Evelin's sister greeted us with the other two dogs, Kiki immediately walked and checked the place and wanted the sister to pick her up. This was the first time ever! I can see and feel Kiki is happy and comfy at Evelin's house. We will ask Evelin to take care of Kiki again when we are on vacation.”
“Mr Murphys stay with Heather was wonderful. He is a very anxious dog when he is away from his mom and Heather went out of her way to make both Murphy and me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She sent pictures frequently and answered my texts about how he was doing very quickly to reassure me. I was very nervous about leaving him with someone, but I felt totally comfortable with this family. I think he got lots of love and playtime with them. When I picked him up, he went back and sat on Heathers lap on the floor which speaks volumes to me that he thought she was great too. Hopefully we will be back to Pinehurst and he can stay with them again. Can't thank you enough!!!!”
“Mary is awesome!! You can tell the love that her and her husband have for animals!! I know my pup will always be well cared for, and shown lots of love when staying with her!! Highly recommend!!”
“Lucia is wonderful. She sent tons of photos and updated us so often. I felt completely at ease leaving my baby with her. We will definitely ask Lucia to watch Cara again (if she’ll have her ?)”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”
“Alex was amazing with Miller and Moose! They came back super tired and well taken care of. Alex and his family sent great updates of them and I can tell they were treated as a member of their family :) Will continue to use Alex when he and his family are available!”
“If your thinking of booking with her to watch any of your fur babies think no further she is the way to go!!!!! I came on rover needing a dog sitter very last minute same day I planed on going out of town and it was honestly the best choice I could’ve made very quick replies and very frequent updates and pictures of how good your fur babies are doing THANK U AGAIN MARIA!!!”

“🦁 Wonderful 🦁 I have a Lilo and a Stitch that needed a last minute sitter to check in on them and make sure they were ok and keep them company. The DAY I had to leave she came to meet them and watch over my ( House Lions ). I came home to safe and still fat and happy cats.”
“Michael did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats! I was gone for a two week trip and he made sure they had all that they needed. When I returned the cats were happy and well taken care of. This was the first time I was away from them for a significant period of time, and Michael made sure to keep me well updated. I would definitely trust Michael to take care of my cats again!”
“Jennifer has done drop ins for my cats during two periods of time for me now. She is very thoughtful with the updates she leaves me on the report cards and makes sure I know my girls are safe and well taken care of. I also love when she brings her kids along to give my social butterfly of a cat a little extra attention! I will definitely continue booking with Jennifer.”
About: I grew up on a farm that had numerous indoor and outdoor cats at all times - all of which were my responsibility. Currently, I have a very needy and peculiar cat that always keeps me on my toes! That being said, I’m a self-proclaimed professional litter scooper and cat entertainer. If your cat loves to play, I’m the girl for the job! They want cuddles and emotional support? Nothing would bring me more joy than loving on your kitty. Wants to be left alone? I know how to observe cat behaviors and will give them space accordingly. From kittens to elderly cats and all sorts of personalities and health issues, I’ve seen it all. I developed a deep love and appreciation for cats early on in my life, and I will have that type of care for your beloved cat as well 🥰
“OMG! Micaela was amazing, she was always on top with everything. I’m pretty sure Luna loves her, she’s good on time and helps a lot of. I’m so grateful I found her in this app. I’m pretty I will use her every time I need someone to take care of my puppies and cat💙 I recommend her 1000%, she always sent me photos and let me know about everything. THANK YOU MICAELA KEEP DOING AMAZING JOB”
“While being out of town for four days, I had complete peace of mind that my four cats were being taken care of. Christy showed up at her drop in times and stayed long enough to take care of everything and interact with my cats. I would recommend Christy”
“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care Jesse provided for my pets! From the moment I met her, her kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion for animals shone through. She took amazing care of my four cats and my dwarf rabbit, ensuring they were loved and well looked after during my vacation. Jesse went above and beyond by also looking after my home. She watered my plants, collected the mail, and made sure to clean up after the kitties, which was such a relief for me. Communication was a breeze; she responded promptly to all my messages and kept me updated with adorable photos of my pets, which really eased my mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking her for all my future pet-sitting needs. She is a true gem!”
“Kristal was incredibly responsible and communicative with me while she watched my cats and fish. I loved the pictures and videos she sent, and she provided me huge peace of mind while I was on vacation with my family. Kristal will definitely be our first choice next time we travel. ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and love earning their trust. I move slowly, give space when needed, and pay attention to their cues. I treat every cat with the same care I give my own.
About: I have cared for and owned dogs, along with many other animal/reptile friends for many years. Being involved in 4-H and FFA I have raised a variety of animals. I have two fur kids, Apollo and Astraea, ages 4 and 5 years old who love to eat, play, go hiking and nap. A crested gecko and huge freshwater aquarium call my place home as well. I can make sure your friend gets some extra attention, exercise, and even work on any training or new tricks they are learning. I moved to the area recently and began working from home allowing me some extra time to do this again :). Hope to hear from you soon! Working from home allows a pretty flexible schedule. Just need a days notice to ensure I could stop by if a specific time is needed! I am happy and comfortable assisting your friend based on whatever guidrlines you give! Just let me know what kind of care your friens needs!

“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”
“Lucia is absolutely an angel!!! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! She sent tons of updates and photos of our puppy while we were away and he came home happy and tired from a full day of fun!! It is apparent she loves dogs!!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. We dropped our dog two days in a row for daycare, and he was very happy when we picked him and excited to return the next day. We will definitely go to Jennifer again when we’re back in Pinehurst.”
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“I am in town for a wedding, and my dog was too stressed to stay in the hotel while I was gone. Desiree was a life saver by taking my dog at the last minute for doggy daycare! I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing my dog was having fun with other people and other dogs, and I picked up a happy and tired pup 😀 If I ever find myself back in the area, I would 100% ask Desiree to watch my dog again. Thanks!!!”
“Jacki was amazing with my puppy! She is very flexible and accommodating. My puppy is not fully potty trained or crate trained yet and it was difficult to find someone to take him. Jacki was a lifesaver! She was the perfect fit for us. Highly recommend.”
“Tatyana took excellent care of our Rowdy. He was very nervous as we were on a vacation trip to see relatives. When we handed him over to Tatyana for an evening out, he was immediately calm with her. She sent several pictures showing he was doing fine. He even took a nap. She was loving and I would highly recommend her.”
“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
About: I am 36 years old and I have had animals my whole life growing up of all different sizes. I love all animals like they are my own. I am a dog owner myself so I can pick up on certain behaviors. I am able to give them medication my dog has allergies and I give him medicine daily. I am prior military with an active security clearance so you can trust me with your home and your beloved family member(dog). They will be well taken care of and have a great time in my care. Animals love unconditionally which is why I love them so dearly. I look forward to meeting your fuzzy four legged companion. I am available at my home nights and weekends. During the day I will come home at lunch to take the dogs outside. They won’t go longer than 4 hours. I will treat your pet like my own. Which is like a king. My dog sleeps in bed with me or on the couch under blankets. Wherever they are most comfortable.
“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral. It was such a comfort to know that Lily was in loving, capable hands during such a difficult time. Evelin went above and beyond to make sure Lily was happy and comfortable, sending us updates that gave us peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Evelin, for being there for us and for treating Lily like one of your own. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.
About: I survived teaching first and second grade for over 35 years so I can do anything! I am a new grandma and I’m so excited! I have two sweet pups who love having news friends come over and play. I am very flexible and I am very willing to get the work done with your pup or puppies! I will do whatever it takes to make it work. Although I don’t have a fenced in yard I will make sure they are on a leash if needed when going out to do their business. I love to walk multiple times a day so you can be assured they will get lots of attention and exercise.
About: Like everyone else on this app, I love dogs, and grew up with German Shepherds However, I started on the rover app because I wanted to provide something I thought was missing… reliable pet care for high energy and athletic dogs. I travel a lot and the last thing I want to worry about is if my 70 pound GSD is wearing out the kind old lady I left her with because that’s who was available. Rest assured, if you leave your dog with me for work or for play, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Need daily runs or multiple walks a day? Good. We run every day. Need yard play time? Not a problem. Extra belly rubs? Easy. Is your Dog a couch potato? I have a couch and have happy to give rubs and chill out. The point is, weather for a week or a weekend, if you leave your dog with me, you can focus on where ever your travels are taking you. I have a pretty demanding full time job. I’m only available for boarding in my home. If I’m home, your dog has 100% of my focus. I have a very well trained and very social GSD and a large fenced in yard. I also have rooms I can fence off to give your dog some space. I’m happy to play fetch, take multiple walks, and daily runs if needed.
About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!
“Lindsey was amazing with our puppy! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, videos, and what our little girl was up to. I had no doubt throughout the day of what our puppy was doing or if she was having fun! Lindsey treated our puppy like she was her own! We will definitely be using Lindsey in the future! Our Finley girl loved her too!!”
“I would definitely recommend Elizabeth! She was very helpful, polite, respectful prompt with responses and just all around a pleasant person to deal with!5 stars don’t do her enough justice!”
“Katie has been fantastic! She goes way above and beyond. She has taken care of my dogs as if they were her own. They get so excited when they figure out they are headed to see Katie! She is a WONDERFUL find and we will DEFINITELY continue to use her services!”
“Amazing with my dog ! Ended up going the route of in an house dog visitor and walker closer to my home, but Dunamis loved his days with Ernesto! I did not have to worry that Dunamis would pick up bad habits or anything concerning because he was in great and k9 certified care. He was the best!”
About: Hi, I’m Izzy – an educator and lifelong animal lover! I grew up with cats and dogs and now have two sweet, friendly pups of my own. I’ve worked at a dog grooming salon, cared for pets over school breaks, and love providing reliable care when pet parents need a helping hand. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a mellow homebody, I’ll adapt to their needs and give them all the love they deserve. I’m happy to provide references from other families I've worked with! I look forward to connecting soon. I work remotely as a teacher so I am available during the week and on weekends! I am happy to come to your house for drop in visits or walks. I also do offer doggy daycare in my home for one dog a day. I have two dogs of my own who love to have visitors. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs both in my home and in their own familiar space. I always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make sure they feel secure. I have two friendly, crate-trained dogs who love making new friends, and my home is pet-safe and well set up for boarding or drop-ins. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so you feel totally at ease!

“whitney is the absolute best! she was very prompt in communicating and always on time to pick up my pup for his walk. i’ll definitely book with her again when i need a hand :)”
“Chrissy went above and beyond for my two dogs. She was very sweet and the pups loved her as soon as they met her! Chrissy was very quick to respond and gave me detailed updates along with pictures. There were times when I didn’t have cell service and something came up, she handled it perfectly. If you need to leave your pets with someone, I’d highly recommend booking with her. 🙂”
“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: Leaving your pets behind can be hard, and the last thing you should have to do while you’re away is worry about what’s happening at home. My goal is to make that part easy—keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and keep you updated along the way. With 10 years of pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. And when I’m staying in your home, I understand you’re trusting me with more than your pets. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. At the end of the day, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing I’ve got things handled at home—and that your pets are safe, loved, comfortable, and probably getting a few extra cuddles while you’re gone. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for rather than trying to squeeze them in around a traditional workday. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, and I’m intentional about how I schedule bookings, so I’m not rushing from one pet to the next. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you’re away and plan my day around your pets and their normal routine. I may come and go throughout the day, just as I would at home, but I’m mindful of how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure they get plenty of time, attention, and company while you’re gone. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure you come home to happy pets and a home that’s been well cared for.
About: Hello! I'm a 40yo female and long time animal lover. I had a small farm in Texas and I've always had xlarge breed dogs since being on my own. I am well versed in handling dogs and any protective behaviors, as well as any exercise level you need supported. I also have done shots (in horses), giving pills, and handling any ointments your pets may need. My current schedule is open, so I can come to you, whenever it's needed. I am currently working on a Bachelor's Degree and have a very flexible schedule; I can do walks and overnight stays to keep your pet comfortable whenever you need. My pets always had a schedule, so I'm happy to help keep you and your pets stay on a regular schedule. I am used to dogs needing walks and meal time in the mornings and the evenings, as well as some breaks in the afternoon; just let me know your needs and we'll get it worked out.
About: I was born and raised with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I’ve never known a time in my life without animals! From farm animals to household pets, I’ve cared for them all. I’m a big proponent of positive reinforcement and prioritize gentle care and minimal stress for your pet. I’m comfortable with complex medical needs, seniors, and "quirky" pets. I’m happy to adhere to routines and training for continuity. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care that I treat my own ❤️ I’m doing animal care full time at the moment so I have a flexible schedule. I can work in midday drop ins, late night check ins, and multiple visits. Whatever works best for you! I’m happy to take your pup on neighborhood walks, play in the yard, or go on outings to Sniffspots or parks. I’ll drop in and check on your cats, give them affection if they’re comfortable, or spend time doing enrichment activities. I’ll treat your home with the same respect as I would my own and can take care of house sitting chores while you’re out of town. At my home, I have a large fenced yard and three very playful dogs. A large greenway runs through my neighborhood and is shaded for year round walks. I can crate your pup separately as needed.
About: **Unfortunately due to the app taking 20% of my pay, I’ve had to increase my pricing. Happy to work around this and discuss further** I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. From reptiles, small animals, cats and dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.
About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.

I am available Monday - Friday and most weekends. My fur babies are my kids and I treat every furry face I meet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep a consistent routine for your pets that allow them to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience in medication administration schedules, special diets, exercise routines for any fur babies that may have physical challenges or disadvantages. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained while you're away to allow you to feel confident that your pets are well cared for in your absence.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Because I’ve always had pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your furry family members. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I’m here to provide dependable, caring support for your pets. I’m currently a senior in high school, and my class schedule is very flexible. I only have classes from 2:05-3:45, which means I’m available most of the day for pet care. This allows me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding schedules, and giving your pets the attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I respectfully follow the pet’s normal schedule like handling feedings, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any special instructions you provide. No matter where the care takes place, I’m committed to offering reliable, loving, and attentive service so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of my own ever since I was a kid. I love animals and having any excuse to bond with them. I currently have a dachshund named Tucker who is 7 years old and I have a lot of experience working with other people’s pets as a sitter. I am currently focusing on starting my real estate career so my availability may fluctuate but stay mainly consistent throughout my weekly routine. I will be mostly available during late morning to later hours I do not offer pet care in my own hone. I provide care for pets at client homes only. I believe pets should be surrounded in an environment they’re used to and familiar with.
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own.

“Awesome person, professional, kind and caring person that took great care of my dog. Upon meeting her and talking to her, I was put at ease and felt that she would take great care of my dog, who is my family. Thanks so much Linda!”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“I couldn’t be happier! They treated my girl like family!!! Super accommodating, checking in all the time tons of pics! Honestly I will never board her else where unless I have too! They are the BEST!”
“Annie took amazing care of my pup. I knew the entire time she was loved and had a great time! Highly recommend and will contact Annie again soon to book another sitting. Thank you so much Annie!!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Mr Murphys stay with Heather was wonderful. He is a very anxious dog when he is away from his mom and Heather went out of her way to make both Murphy and me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She sent pictures frequently and answered my texts about how he was doing very quickly to reassure me. I was very nervous about leaving him with someone, but I felt totally comfortable with this family. I think he got lots of love and playtime with them. When I picked him up, he went back and sat on Heathers lap on the floor which speaks volumes to me that he thought she was great too. Hopefully we will be back to Pinehurst and he can stay with them again. Can't thank you enough!!!!”
“Mary is awesome!! You can tell the love that her and her husband have for animals!! I know my pup will always be well cared for, and shown lots of love when staying with her!! Highly recommend!!”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”
“Alex was amazing with Miller and Moose! They came back super tired and well taken care of. Alex and his family sent great updates of them and I can tell they were treated as a member of their family :) Will continue to use Alex when he and his family are available!”
“If your thinking of booking with her to watch any of your fur babies think no further she is the way to go!!!!! I came on rover needing a dog sitter very last minute same day I planed on going out of town and it was honestly the best choice I could’ve made very quick replies and very frequent updates and pictures of how good your fur babies are doing THANK U AGAIN MARIA!!!”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Haley was very sweet and wonderful with Berkeley and Milo, sent lots of pictures, and was overall very impressive with two pups who have a lot of love and energy! I doubt they will go anywhere else except to Haley in the future, thank you!”
“Melanie is not JUST an incredible boarder and dog lover, but an all around beautiful human. I immediately felt at ease about leaving my big boys with her when we met. She sent amazing photos, updates, and was extremely supportive and flexible when my times had to be adjusted. I am even thinking of boarding them with her once a month just because they loved her sooo much. 100,0000,000% Recommend!”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
