“Best sitter ever. I will be using her again and again. My cavapoo adores her. She is so good with animals and I trust her 100% sent me updates everyday while i took my vacation”
“Ashley (and her family) are wonderful, amazing, trustworthy, loving, compassionate, and overall phenomenal! She is the first sitter we've ever taken our 7.5 month old PJ to so my husband and I were apprehensive because we've only had him 4 months. PJ, although so adorable and very loving, is very hyper and feisty when he sees people and other animals. We are still learning his habits and behaviors so this was our first sitter-test. When we got to Ashley's home, we were greeted by Ashley and Cheyenne. To our surprise, PJ was so happy to see them! He jumped out of the car, went to them, and never turned around to say goodbye - our feelings were hurt, but that was the reassurance we needed to enjoy our time visiting with family for the day and night - we were not worried at all! Ashley even took the time to send us pictures of PJ interacting with the entire family (people and fur family members) and gave us the feedback we need regarding PJ's behavior with others. We will definitely be visiting with Ashley whenever we are in Rocky Mount. I actually wish we lived in the same town so we could have play dates and family outings together. Definitely a 5+ rating for Ashley! Thank you again for everything - see you all soon!”
“Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with Sonia and Jeff. My dog came home playful and with lots of energy. He had not lost weight, like has happened in other boarding situations. He has special needs—requires daily eye drops and medication and his eye looked very comfortable when we picked him up. We are very pleased and booking his boarding appointment for our next trip.”
“We have used Sharon a couple of different times and she always does a phenomenal job. She caters to Clancy’s whims making him a little reluctant to want to come home. She provides plenty of pictures to satisfy our concerns. We appreciate Sharon and will continue to use her services.”
“Danielle is amazing! She took care of our dog as if he was her own and kept me updated with videos and pictures every day. I have nothing but a heart full of gratitude for her. I am Lucky to have found her. Thank you for everything Danielle! ♥️”
“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”
“Mitzi and Brett were amazing caresitters for ArtyB. The photos and videos were awesome, and it gave us comfort knowing ArtyB was in such great hands. Their home was a sanctuary for him, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately took off in the yard with the other friends. Thank you Mitzi & Brett!!”
“Jeremy and Lauren were amazing! Their home is set up to be so accommodating for the love of dogs! Their back yard is fully fenced and perfect for playing, running and staying cool in the shade! Our dog is typically nervous and shy around others so we were very anxious about boarding. But she was so happy, she played with their dogs and was truly loved by Jeremy and Lauren! What a perfect relief for this nervous dog mom! We will definitely be setting up vacations with Jeremy and Lauren again and again! They are fantastic!”
“This was my Little Boy Blu’s first time with Keri. I was a little nervous because this was the first time he had been with a different sitter since his diabetes diagnosis in April. Blu needs his BG checked at least twice a day before meals, along with an insulin shot. Blu has also been with the same sitter for his entire life (9 years), so this was only the second time he has ever stayed with someone different. Keri treated Blu as if he were one of her own pets. She provided updates and pics, and in every picture she sent, Blu looked relaxed and comfortable. That definitely helped put me at ease. I will definitely be booking Keri for future boarding. Thanks, Keri, for the love and care you showed Blu. ❤️”
“Milika was the BEST! This was my dogs first time being away and he doesn’t get along with others well so I was terrified for him as well as Milika. I reached out beforehand to see if we could meet and she said yes and my dog was so comfortable with her and her home. We loved her personality and could tell that she was genuinely a good person. I arranged for him to be picked up from my home and she was on time. She was very communicative and shared many pictures and videos during his stay. She made me and my dog feel comfortable during his stay. He loved her! I will be booking with her again.”
“Scott is wonderful! I never have to worry about my babies while we’re gone. He sends pictures and keeps us up to date what’s going on. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to leave them with.”
“Rajita was very sweet and took Buddy in at the last minute. He seemed happy with the photos I sent. She said her kids loved him, and that's what matters most: that he was loved. He's a loving little guy who loves love.”
“Stacey did an awesome job watching our pup! I know our dog was at ease & comfortable with her which was super important to us. She would communicate with us throughout the day & send us many updates which we loved. Our dog can be a handful meeting other dogs and isn’t the best on the leash but Stacey did great with her! She gave her lots of loves and cuddles too which was so appreciated while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!!”
“We are over the moon with the great service Myles provided for our pooch, Scooter! I told Myles and I mean it, he has a client for life. Scooter had the best time and came home happy as a clam but also worn out in the best possible way. GOOD JOB !!!”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Renee was great with my Isis! She was very responsive and Isis felt comfortable pretty quickly. She can be shy at first but she warmed up nicely. Thankful for her!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Sayaka and her husband! They took such great care of Paco and treated him like family. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. Paco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”

“I would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She is professional, reliable, and attentive to animals. She did a wonderful job cat sitting my two cats. She also communicated with me frequently to let me know how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”

About: I love everything about animals! When it comes to Cats and Dogs they are such great companions and I truly enjoy seeing an animal that is pleased and satisfied with my care, as well as their owners and I will do everything to make sure that happens, I have had professional experience working for a doggie daycare business. I of course am a pet owner myself and know what its like to have to trust someone else to take care of your beautiful pet. I very much value that trust and and take the time to learn different tricks and techniques to provide the best care possible for any type of dog or cat that I could possibly encounter on a day to day basis. I am sure that I can provide a valuable service to you. I work Part-Time, and I keep a flexible schedule so I will have no issue fitting any commitments into my calendar and I always maintain clear communication. Based on discussions with the client I will give as much attention to the animal as possible during service including playing with or without toys, walks, bathroom breaks, Feeding, Cuddles etc. based on the desire of the animal.
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
About: I own two dogs and have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family. I also previously started my own pet sitting business. I currently work at a pet resort/doggy daycare facility. I have experience with walking, feeding, providing care, and anything else you might want for your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups! During the week I can provide any service needed. I will set up a meet and greet before completely booking any service for first time clients. This way your pet can be as comfortable as possible with me and to discuss any details or concerns you might have. When caring for your fur baby in your home I will follow any routines you might have while also keeping them happy & entertained. Your pup is my #1 priority!
“Ashley took exceptional care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely recommend her and reuse her services if ever need them again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life ranging from 175 to 50 pounds. My family also breeds dogs so I’m comfortable with all ages. I have dog sat for numerous family and friends and love all animals so your pet will get treated as if they were my own. I’ve also took care of dogs that take medication, are on special diets. I have a full time job but I make my own schedule so I will base that off of my schedule with rover. Pets will be well taken care of and took on walks. If your pet is more laid back and likes to lay around all day then we will do that. If your pet has a lot of energy and like to run the we can do that as well. I have plenty of yard for your pet/pets to play. I currently don’t have any other animals in the house and am waiting for my puppy to be born! Your pet will be allowed on furniture unless that is a rule you have then I will not go against it. I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and crates if needed.
About: I've taken care of large and small animals all my life, I grew up taking care of my aunt's horses with her, and I've pet sat and house sat for the past couple of years and have been very successful. I am no longer a college student so my schedule is way more open! I love all animals small or large! I am currently looking for a part-time job, I will always be available on the weekends and I should be available in the mornings and late mornings almost every day. I have a big fenced-in backyard, and I own two friendly dogs and an indoor-outdoor cat that stays away from most people and other dogs who come to visit so there is no worry about him if you're worried about your animal around cats.

“We absolutely love and adore Kayla! We had to find someone last minute to watch over our pup, and she came through! We were able to meet her and have the booking all within 24 hours. Our pup is also quite nervous around new people, very “stranger danger” mode - but he warmed up to Kayla and even snuggled with her during his naps, which is a huge step for him. We got pictures throughout the day and they were the cutest! They had so much fun with each other it really put us at ease to know that he was enjoying himself and that he was in good hands. Cocomelon will definitely be seeing her more often!”
“Athena was in her element - running, playing, and enjoying the companionship of her canine relatives! What a special day and place for Athena to spend time being a ‘puppy’ with such joy. Thank you Melissa”

I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and can often work with short notice. Your dog’s routine is important to me, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are in a secure, supervised environment and follow any instructions you provide closely. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe and at ease. In my home, your pup will be treated like family with plenty of attention, care, and a calm environment. I also have my own dog, so I’m experienced in maintaining a safe and positive space for multiple pets. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet every step of the way.
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.
About: 5 yrs vet / kennel experience, learned so much!🐈⬛ 2 yrs dog training, loved every second!🐕 Worked with livestock 🐓 Any age - any condition ✔️ happy to help ❤️🐾 I have a very open schedule, very flexible on any specific times needed. I enjoy working with pets of all sorts! Any requirements can surely be met!

“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”
About: I used to work at an dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a student at Fayettville State University. I absolutly adore animals. I have 3 of my own, They are a german shepherd, austrailian Shepherd, and a chihuahua. So I do have and active life style with the 2 larger dogs. But my little dog is a couch potato, so I tend to slow things down for him. So no matter how big, small, entergetic, or couch potato they are I can always live up to their lifestyle. I am available anytime. If I am not available I’ll message you if it does not work for my schedule. But it is rare for me to be busy. I would be more than happy to take your puppy out on a walk or taking out to go potty. I can also feed them and give them fresh water. If they need time to interact with somebody I can sit and play with them. If there is special request, just ask away I would be more than happy to try.

“Ashley (and her family) are wonderful, amazing, trustworthy, loving, compassionate, and overall phenomenal! She is the first sitter we've ever taken our 7.5 month old PJ to so my husband and I were apprehensive because we've only had him 4 months. PJ, although so adorable and very loving, is very hyper and feisty when he sees people and other animals. We are still learning his habits and behaviors so this was our first sitter-test. When we got to Ashley's home, we were greeted by Ashley and Cheyenne. To our surprise, PJ was so happy to see them! He jumped out of the car, went to them, and never turned around to say goodbye - our feelings were hurt, but that was the reassurance we needed to enjoy our time visiting with family for the day and night - we were not worried at all! Ashley even took the time to send us pictures of PJ interacting with the entire family (people and fur family members) and gave us the feedback we need regarding PJ's behavior with others. We will definitely be visiting with Ashley whenever we are in Rocky Mount. I actually wish we lived in the same town so we could have play dates and family outings together. Definitely a 5+ rating for Ashley! Thank you again for everything - see you all soon!”
“Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with Sonia and Jeff. My dog came home playful and with lots of energy. He had not lost weight, like has happened in other boarding situations. He has special needs—requires daily eye drops and medication and his eye looked very comfortable when we picked him up. We are very pleased and booking his boarding appointment for our next trip.”
“We have used Sharon a couple of different times and she always does a phenomenal job. She caters to Clancy’s whims making him a little reluctant to want to come home. She provides plenty of pictures to satisfy our concerns. We appreciate Sharon and will continue to use her services.”
“Randi is the best!! Henry had the best time with Randi. She took excellent care of him while our family was out of town. She sent pictures and updates every day. We have already rebooked her and I give her 5 Stars plus❤️”
“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”
“Jeremy and Lauren were amazing! Their home is set up to be so accommodating for the love of dogs! Their back yard is fully fenced and perfect for playing, running and staying cool in the shade! Our dog is typically nervous and shy around others so we were very anxious about boarding. But she was so happy, she played with their dogs and was truly loved by Jeremy and Lauren! What a perfect relief for this nervous dog mom! We will definitely be setting up vacations with Jeremy and Lauren again and again! They are fantastic!”
“This was my Little Boy Blu’s first time with Keri. I was a little nervous because this was the first time he had been with a different sitter since his diabetes diagnosis in April. Blu needs his BG checked at least twice a day before meals, along with an insulin shot. Blu has also been with the same sitter for his entire life (9 years), so this was only the second time he has ever stayed with someone different. Keri treated Blu as if he were one of her own pets. She provided updates and pics, and in every picture she sent, Blu looked relaxed and comfortable. That definitely helped put me at ease. I will definitely be booking Keri for future boarding. Thanks, Keri, for the love and care you showed Blu. ❤️”
“My pups just had a great stay with Melissa and family. They stayed for 10 days and seem very happy. We got pictures and information regularly and felt very comfortable with the setup there. Would highly recommend and will use again! Thank you!!”
“Milika was the BEST! This was my dogs first time being away and he doesn’t get along with others well so I was terrified for him as well as Milika. I reached out beforehand to see if we could meet and she said yes and my dog was so comfortable with her and her home. We loved her personality and could tell that she was genuinely a good person. I arranged for him to be picked up from my home and she was on time. She was very communicative and shared many pictures and videos during his stay. She made me and my dog feel comfortable during his stay. He loved her! I will be booking with her again.”
“Scott is wonderful! I never have to worry about my babies while we’re gone. He sends pictures and keeps us up to date what’s going on. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to leave them with.”
“We are over the moon with the great service Myles provided for our pooch, Scooter! I told Myles and I mean it, he has a client for life. Scooter had the best time and came home happy as a clam but also worn out in the best possible way. GOOD JOB !!!”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“After an unpleasant experience with a larger pet-care facility, we knew Brinkley needed something different—a warm, loving home environment where she would feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Finding Judy was just what we were hoping for. From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and thoughtful, giving Brinkley the same loving, personalized care she receives at home. Her genuine affection for her and attention to every detail gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Brinkley felt happy, relaxed, and right at home with her. We are so grateful to Judy for providing such exceptional, just-like-home care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Zach and family did such a great job with our golden doodle. This is the first time we had left our dog with anyone else, and we would not hesitate to do it again with Zach. Our dog Baker Blu enjoyed daily walks and a lot of playtime with Zac’s dog Millie. In fact, I think Baker Blu was a little depressed when he came back home for the first couple of days because he missed Millie so much. Thanks Zach, appreciate you taking such good care of Baker Blu while we were away.”
“Kimberly, Dustin and their son are amazing! They took such great care of our Aussie and I couldn’t recommend them enough. They sent lots of photos, walked, played and snuggled with our dog as if she was their own. They have a Aussie named scout who got along with Lily great and helped get her energy out. They were super accommodating for our early departure and late arrival which we truly appreciated. Again can’t recommend this family enough for watching your dog we will be rebooking them in the near future!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Sayaka and her husband! They took such great care of Paco and treated him like family. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. Paco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Brandi and John did a wonderful job and kept me updated throughout the whole stay. My pup had a great time and I was also able to relax knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!”
