“Andrea was very easy to work with. We did a Meet and Greet a few weeks before Oskar stayed with her. She sent pictures and updates almost every day. She responded promptly to my messages. I would consider sending Oskar to Andrea again if I needed a dog sitter.”

“Tania is amazing! She sent us pictures of our dog all weekend and made us feel so comfortable. Birdie got many many many walks and playtime and she was wiped when we picked her up! Absolutely recommend Tania and we will definitely have Birdie stay with her family again!”
“I can tell my pup loved her stay with Cecilia and her pups, she didn't want to leave! She took her on walks and adventures and also listened to my requests for using her cone. Lovey was well stimulated and attended to during her stay.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. My dog received truly exceptional, thoughtful care from start to finish. It was clear she was treated with genuine love and attention, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the frequent updates—photos, videos, and little notes throughout the day that showed exactly how happy, relaxed, and well‑cared‑for she was. Those check‑ins meant the world to me and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and reassuring. My dog came home calm, content, and clearly adored. I’m so grateful for the level of care and communication provided. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, this is the sitter you want. Truly outstanding.”
“Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!”
“Cara and Rosey were fantastic! Koozie was well cared for and Cara sent pictures daily and shared cute stories. We’re so excited to find our “unicorn” to take care of our girl while we travel. We’ll be using her every time we go out of town!”
“Another great sitting experience with Zainab. My dog always comes back happy, tired from all the play time, and having learned new things. We love staying with, Zainab.”

“Brittany was amazing! She and her family took great care of our Daisy. She was kind, caring and provided a warm and welcoming home for our sometimes shy and timid dog. She sent daily updates with pictures and even some videos, which really put us at ease while we were away. We definitely hope to use her again and highly recommend her.”

“Julie and Greg provided amazing care for our young high energy hound during his first-ever experience with a sitter. They sent photos and updates every day. Not only did they give him plenty of exercise, play, and affection, they worked with him on some problem behaviors/doggie-manner-deficits during his stay with them. I could not recommend more highly.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Bruno received during his stay with Lesley and her sweet family! This was his second stay, and the moment we dropped him off, he was so excited to see Lesley. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Lesley followed every instruction we provided and made sure Bruno stayed on his normal routine. We also loved receiving photo updates twice a day, every day, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It honestly felt like he was on his own vacation! It’s clear that Lesley and her family genuinely care for the pets they watch, and we are so grateful for the excellent care and communication. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you Lesley & family!!”
“Crystal was just what we were looking for! She was so caring and we knew our puppy would be well taken care of. She sent us pictures/video each day so we could keep in touch and feel at ease that she was doing well. Thank you, Crystal!!!”

“Zainab took good care of my anxious shiba for the day, and I picked up a happy doggy. She was gracious to book on short notice for the day before holiday. I appreciated the pictures she sent. Will book with her again!”
“This was our first time leaving our Melo (23 month old mini golden doodle)with anyone outside family. Yaryna was so sweet and gave our baby lots of attention. We received updates and photos. We did doggy daycare for the day. We will be trying overnight, and have no doubt that he will be in good hands. Would 100% recommend Yaryna !! Thanks again”
About: Hey there! We are Jesse and Diana and we live in the heart of Cary with our teenage daughter, 9 year old black lab mix Delta, 5 year old whippet Skadi, and 4 year old chihuahua Pepita. We also have two cats, Steve and Max who are 12 and 8 and are great with all dogs. Sometimes I think Max is more of a dog than a cat! Our dogs are good girls (spayed) and absolutely love to play! We have about a half acre fenced back yard that they can run freely in to get out all their zoomies. Both of our dogs are fully vaccinated and on flea & tick medication. We have had dogs all our lives and they have always been an important part of our family. We have experience with training certified therapy dogs as well. Our golden retriever, Molly was actively involved in working with Alzheimer's and dementia patients as a certified therapy dog. She passed away last year at 14 years old. She was a good girl. We understand all dogs have different needs and we will be extremely accommodating. Additionally, we work from home so your dog would never have to be alone. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions! We work from home, which gives us the time to be here for your pup! We also try to be very flexible with pickup and dropoff times to make it as convenient as possible. We have a completely fenced backyard (approx. 1/2 acre), which gives the dogs the space to run, play, and to just burn energy in a safe environment! They are never alone and always supervised when playing in the backyard.
“Tania agreed to keep our girl at the last minute over the holiday weekend, and we were so lucky to find her. She took good care of our baby, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Wonderful care! I could tell my dog had a great time and was calm and happy when I picked him up. He got to play in the backyard with Anna’s dog which was a huge plus for him. Would recommend Anna as a sitter for any dog, especially energetic playful ones like mine!”

“Grace and her husband are amazing with my little girl Bella! Every time I pick her up she is so exhausted, but happy; which means she had a great day! I love that they treat her like their own!”
“Michelle and Jose were super communicative prior to the visit and throughout Cannelle’s whole stay. You could tell how much they love dachshund’s when I dropped her off. She went right inside their hose and started exploring which made me feel confident leaving her in their care. I loved receiving updates with photos and was so happy to see she was having an eventful day but also some good cuddle time. She was tired when I picked her up which is always a good sign. I will definitely be using them again soon!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.
“We were looking for a trustworthy sitter for our dog, Phoebe, and we’re so glad we found JB! He was really great with her, took her on walks, and kept us updated with photos throughout her stay. We were running quite late when picking her up, but he was extremely accommodating and polite. We had a great experience, and JB would definitely be our first choice for Phoebe again! 💛🐾💛”
About: If your pet could swipe right on a sitter, I’m pretty sure they’d pick me. I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 12, and honestly, it feels like I’ve had a leash or treat pouch in my hand ever since. From childhood pets to neighbors’ pups to friends’ cats who “don’t like anyone” (but somehow curl up in my lap), animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m new to Rover but not to caring for others pets. Why choose me? *A lifetime of experience: Growing up with pets taught me patience, intuition, and how to read an animal’s needs long before they can tell you. *Calm, confident care: Whether your pet is shy, energetic, quirky, or a total diva, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and understood. *Reliable and communicative: You’ll get updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and cared for. *Genuine love for animals: This isn’t a side gig for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. Your pet becomes “my” pet while you’re away. I currently volunteer with American Brittany Rescue and the AKC. I have volunteered with the Wake County Animal Shelter in years past. I have also owned and volunteered with 2 certified therapy dogs. We visited hospitals, nursing homes and schools. Our current dog is not a good candidate for therapy dog work, but we hope to participate with Therapy Dogs Inc. again in the future. Our dog and cat are both up to date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. If you want someone who treats your fur baby like their own and brings warmth, fun, and dependability to every visit, I’m your gal. Let’s make your pet’s day a great one. I request that dogs staying with us be up to date on vaccines and on flea and tick preventative. I currently work part-time from home and my hours are somewhat flexible. If your pet is in my home, I can take breaks as needed for feeding, potty breaks, and pats. Mon-Fri from 12-4 pm is less flexible for me if I am coming to your home to do a walk or potty break, as those are my busiest work hours. I will follow your provided schedule to a T, taking into account your specific routines, wishes, and needs. I understand it can be stressful for pets when their families leave, and I will do everything possible to ease that stress and make sure your pets are happy and relaxed. I am always super careful about closing doors, latching gates, and making sure everything is in order before leaving each home. Your pet's safety and well being is my number one priority. I have a very friendly dog that can accompany me on visits and walks if your dog would like companionship.
“Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.”
About: We’re an active, dog-loving couple who miss having a furry friend around - so we put all that energy into the pups we host. We raised a golden retriever for over 12 years, through eight different homes, which taught us how to stay flexible and make any space feel like home for a dog. We’ve also cared for the fur-babies of our friends and family over the years, so medium and large breeds are totally our comfort zone. Carleigh works from home every day, and John is home four days a week, meaning your dog gets tons of attention, playtime, and company. We’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, but we love having short-term four-legged guests to spoil. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because one of us is almost always home, so your dog will get tons of attention, supervision, and company throughout each day. We love taking breaks to go on walks, play outside, or just hang out with a furry friend while we work. Since we’re already active and outside often, adding a dog to our routine is fun and effortless. We treat every dog like a temporary member of the family. Our home is clean, calm, and set up to be dog-friendly, especially for medium and large breeds. We pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any quirks or preferences your dog has. We’re big on communication - you’ll get updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s play time, relaxing, or sticking to their normal schedule, we make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive.

“Lorraine is absolutely incredible. When our puppy was having some regression in behavior, Lorraine went above and beyond to help us. She genuinely loves the animals she sees and works with their humans to best set everyone up for success. We could not ask for a better person to trust with our baby.”
“Rachel was totally amazing with our Saydee even during a tropical storm. Saydee is a seizure dog and no problem for Rachel. We booked her already for our next trip. She really has a special love for what she does.”
“Zainab was wonderful! She agreed to check in on my pets on such short notice, promptly scheduling a meet and greet and making sure the pets were familiar with her. She provided great pictures and updates. Will use again for sure!”
“Aqsa was absolutely amazing with my pups! She came over prior to do a meet and greet even last minute! She listened to my requests and made sure to communicate well and sent me lots of pictures. Definitely will keep her in mind in the future! Thank you Aqsa!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life, some of my earliest memories are of walking dogs and cleaning out litter boxes. I currently have two very spoiled cats, who I would love to tell you about. Whether its feeding, walking, or pet sitting I will make sure your babies get the best possible care while you're away. I work mornings Monday through Wednesday, and run my own business from home. I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to visits, and alot of time to spend taking care of your babies. No one knows how to take care of your pet better then you do. I will ensure that your pets get everything that you say they need, and some extra pets too.
About: I truly love the company of animals and treat every pet I watch as if they were my own. I understand that every dog and cat has a different 'vibe'—I’m happy to be a high-energy playmate for active pups or a quiet, comforting lap for senior or shy pets. Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or spending the afternoon together at your house or mine, I prioritize your pet’s happiness and safety above all else. I’d love to help give you a break and give your pet a fun new friend! Since I am home for the majority of the day, I can provide your pet with consistent, dedicated attention and frequent outdoor breaks. I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and look forward to making sure yours feels right at home I live in an apartment, I have two children (11 and 13), I can walk my dog on the street, on the territory of my complex or nearby, for example on the trail and in the park ( I have a big one not far from my home).
“We’ve only had a couple of walks so far with Rosemary, and I’m already very impressed. Our beagle, Abbe, absolutely adores her! As soon as Rosemary pulls into the driveway, Abbe starts crying and wagging with excitement — she can’t wait to get out the door and run to her. I’ve watched them walk by the lake from my back deck, and Rosemary is wonderful with her. She’s patient and kind, but also firm when she needs to be — not a pushover, which I really appreciate. She communicates well, is always pleasant to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and skilled dog walker. — Jeff Basham”
“Alexandra looked after my dog and cat while I was away on a work trip. She was always quick with replies and attentive to my dog’s needs while walking her in the hot weather! She was flexible with scheduling the initial meet and greet, pet visits, and took good care of my pets! Will hope to use her services again when needed in the future.”
“Pamela is reliable and responsive! She took great care of our dog and took the time to give extra cuddles to our other animals. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by and taken care of various types of animals since i was very young. I spent over 100 hours volunteering at a senior center where i was often needed to help care for their pets. Family and friends frequently rely on me to walk, feed, pet-sit and even bathe their pets. I have also worked for 2 years at a doggy daycare where i received multiple certifications including canine cpr training and learned all about animal behaviors and signals. As a pet owner myself I understand the importance of not only the animals needs but the owners as well. With a positive, fun attitude and a passion for animals, i would be able to provide your pets with exceptional care. I’m currently only working part-time, as well going to college. Therefore, i would be able to find plenty of time to play with your furry friends! My typical availability is evenings on Monday,Wednesday, and Friday and any time throughout the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I’m willing to be flexible and if your in need of something else feel free to reach out and i can try to work something out for you and your pet as my schedule does fluctuate. I have a fenced in backyard with a camera for security purposes and lots of shade as well as two friendly dogs of my own that are up to date with all of their shots and vaccinations and more than welcoming of new furry friends. I can definitely put your pet in a crate in a calm and quiet space or a more upbeat, busy area if needed for their comfort. Although I live in a low- crime and safe area, My home does have an advanced security system to ensure the safety of everyone and every pet that enters.
“Emily was great!!! She was able to accommodate our very last minute request. She was on time for all her walks with Addie, and she followed our instructions and kept us updated with photos.”
“Emily has been so kind to Skye and me during this beginning process of hiring a dog walker. She has been patient and caring while Skye is warming up to her, gets her outside even in the extreme heat to get at least 1 mile in, if not more. She is attentive to my dogs needs and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend, I will continue to book with Emily! Thank you!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Even as a little girl, there was almost always a cat or dog beside me in every photo. Being around animals has always felt natural to me, and caring for them has been one of the greatest joys in my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even lizards. Today, my home is shared with several beloved rescue cats, each with their own personality, routines, and little quirks that make me smile every day. My path into pet sitting happened naturally while working as a caregiver, where I often formed close bonds not only with my clients, but with their pets as well. Before long, families began trusting me to care for their animals too—and I quickly realized how much I truly loved it. I also have extensive hands-on experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs, including medication administration, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, special feeding routines, and gentle comfort care. Providing comfort, patience, and a good quality of life to animals—especially those needing extra support—has been one of the most meaningful parts of my experience. Whether I’m dropping in to feed and care for your cat, keeping your pet company while you’re away, or taking your dog for a safe and enjoyable walk, my goal is always to help them feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their own space. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with the same kindness, patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’d be honored to care for your beloved babies. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I do my best to keep my schedule flexible and am available 7am–10pm, seven days a week. Whether your pet needs a morning visit, a midday check-in, dinner and evening care, or simply some company and affection while you’re gone, I’m happy to help. Feel free to reach out with your preferred times, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything feeling calm, familiar, and low-stress. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, litter box or potty routines, and any notes you leave regarding behavior, preferences, or special care. I know how important routine can be—especially for cats—and I try to keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details such as securely locking doors, checking gates, keeping food and water areas clean, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. I also pay close attention to each animal’s personality and body language, whether they’re playful and social or shy and need a slower, gentler approach. I always want pets to feel safe with me and cared for in a way that feels natural and respectful to them. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
About: I enjoy spending time helping families care for their pets. I’m a dog and cat mom myself, and enjoy my days off walking and playing with pets. My family and I foster dogs a few times a year and help get them adopted. I work part-time in healthcare, therefore I have some free time during my weeks and weekends to help walk dogs and and help care for them as needed. I care for cats as well. I’m flexible, fun, kind, and happy to help your pet feel loved. I can walk, feed, and play with you dogs and cats as needed. I truly care for the animals as you would.

“Andrea was very easy to work with. We did a Meet and Greet a few weeks before Oskar stayed with her. She sent pictures and updates almost every day. She responded promptly to my messages. I would consider sending Oskar to Andrea again if I needed a dog sitter.”
“We recently used Diana and Jesse for a long weekend trip. They have a beautiful fenced In backyard. We received daily pictures and communications. Our dog came home calm and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Tania is amazing! She sent us pictures of our dog all weekend and made us feel so comfortable. Birdie got many many many walks and playtime and she was wiped when we picked her up! Absolutely recommend Tania and we will definitely have Birdie stay with her family again!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. My dog received truly exceptional, thoughtful care from start to finish. It was clear she was treated with genuine love and attention, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the frequent updates—photos, videos, and little notes throughout the day that showed exactly how happy, relaxed, and well‑cared‑for she was. Those check‑ins meant the world to me and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and reassuring. My dog came home calm, content, and clearly adored. I’m so grateful for the level of care and communication provided. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, this is the sitter you want. Truly outstanding.”
“Cara and Rosey were fantastic! Koozie was well cared for and Cara sent pictures daily and shared cute stories. We’re so excited to find our “unicorn” to take care of our girl while we travel. We’ll be using her every time we go out of town!”
“Another great sitting experience with Zainab. My dog always comes back happy, tired from all the play time, and having learned new things. We love staying with, Zainab.”
“Julie and Greg provided amazing care for our young high energy hound during his first-ever experience with a sitter. They sent photos and updates every day. Not only did they give him plenty of exercise, play, and affection, they worked with him on some problem behaviors/doggie-manner-deficits during his stay with them. I could not recommend more highly.”
“Anna and Rob did the best job taking care of our pups sending daily pictures/updates and making sure they were well taken care of and loved while we traveled. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip!”
“We were super impressed with Angela when she dog sat our 2 Bichons while we were on vacation for a week. She texted us photos and updates daily and she kept up with our dogs schedule for food/walks/medication. Our dogs got along great with her dog Arya and seemed to like having a dog friend around for their stay. Our dogs usually come home cranky and upset we left them, but not after staying with Angela! We will 100% be using her again in the future!”
“Polina took good care of Goldie and provided timely updates and pics. She even went an extra mile to buy him food from the store when we were out. Goldie seems happy and didn't even want to leave the house. Very happy that we found her.”
“Our dog had the best time with Cait! We are so pleased with the entire experience - she did a phenomenal job, sent lots of photos, and our pup was happy and calm when we picked her up. We will definitely book with Cait again!”
“This was our first experience with having our dog boarded overnight. What an absolute blessing David and Stephanie were with sending updates and pictures every day! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, energy level, and habits, treating every animal like my own. Whether it’s a walk, day care, or other service, my goal is for pets to feel comfortable and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which gives me flexibility for pet care. I’m available for daytime visits and can maintain schedules - great for pets who do best with structure. I focus on safety, clear communication, and consistency. I follow care instructions closely - from leash handling to feeding to house rules - and adapt to each pet’s personality so they feel secure and at ease.
“Michelle delivered again for taking care of my 4-legged old man, Axel. She sent excellent photos, was very communicative, and he was well taken care of. He looked so happy! I will definitely reach out to Michelle again in the near future to watch him again. 5/5 stars!”
“Nilesh was great and very professional. He was able to accommodate our overnight boarding weekend at very short notice and gave lots of communication and photos over the stay. Our dog Peggy had a great time and even came away with a little treat bag. I would definitely book with Nilesh again. Thank you!”
“Jax loved his stay with JB and his family! We could tell they took care of him as if he was their own dog. We loved all the pictures and updates while we were away on vacation. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Daisy had an amazing stay at Daria’s - she was right at home there! We’re so grateful for the attention and care Daria provided Daisy. I’m pretty sure Daisy misses her already.”
