“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My name is Grace and I am 25 years old. I graduated N.C. State University, majoring in Psychology and Biology. I am currently finishing grad school for Occupational Therapy. I have always loved all animals growing up and have been pet sitting since around 10 years old. I have done various sorts of petsitting from weeks of overnight stays to just swinging by the house to play with the dogs and take them out/feed them. I am super flexible and will work with your needs! I have many years of babysitting under my belt too, as I am very responsible and will never let you down. I am currently am studying for my boards so I have plenty of flexibility around times, days, etc. so just let me know what you need and I will accommodate! I also volunteer at the animal shelter, so I have a lot of experience with different kind of dogs. Your pups will be loved, cared for and pampered when I watch them. I am reliable and just have a genuine love for animals, especially dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals :) I currently am studying for my exam in October so I am home most of the day and have plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week and weekends. My two dogs listed on my profile don’t live with me (they live with my parents), so I have no pets at home. I love to spend time with all pups and it’s very important to me that your dogs get the care that you would get from yourselves! I treat all dogs as my own and love to spoil them.
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
“Kayla is amazing! She was able to accommodate us very last minute. Kayla & family were absolutely wonderful with our pup! From the very beginning, communication was clear and prompt, which made us feel at ease leaving our dog in their care. They followed all instructions carefully, gave regular updates with photos, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. It was clear how much they genuinely love animals. We came home to a relaxed & happy pup. We couldn’t ask for a person(family) to take care of our fur baby. We definitely recommend Kayla. -Carina”
“Wes was great. He met us for a meet and greet, even for a short notice stay. The weather wasn’t great while we were away, and he made sure to still find windows to get our pup out and exercised! We’ll reach out again when we need help with our pup.”
“Hunter was amazing. She was so accommodating and my little Kirby seemed to have a great time. She sent pictures and shared funny stories about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“We were extremely pleased with Monica taking care of Walter. She did a wonderful job, and had no concerns the whole time we were gone. I would definately recommend her and would use her in the future.”
“Cynthia did a great job. She responded to my booking request quickly, sent pictures as updates, and always had another dog there for mine to play with, which was nice. My dog was very happy upon pickup, in the kind of way that he had fun.”
“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”
“Debra was the sweetest. She took care of my babies like her own and constantly updated me with pictures and videos. Will definitely choose her again for the next boarding 🫶🏻🫶🏻”
“Hannah was fantastic! She was easy to work with and kept me well informed about how my dog was doing with text and picture updates. It’s always feels so hard to trust someone with your dog, but I never had to worry with Hannah! I felt like my dog was in great care and already have plans to rebook with her in the future.”

We will definitely use her again.”

“We were so happy to have Kristin watch our cats for a longer trip. They absolutely loved her visits and adore her! She was prompt, communicative, and we are so lucky to have her! Thank you Kristin!”
“Nataly did a great job with caring for JT. She did everything as instructed, even while it was a slight late notice. She did a great job in allowing JT to feel comfortable as he is pretty shy boy and it takes him time to warm up to others. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies if you ever need someone to drop by and give them some company.”
“Miesha was the best! She gave me plenty of thorough updates and took lots of pictures, and went above and beyond to not only take care of the animals but my personal property as well. She even brought her own printed reports to log details like how much the babies ate and drank. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”

“Latoya did a fantastic job caring for my cats. We were away for two weeks and she stopped by to check on them daily. I enjoyed her daily reports with photos. When we came home, the cats were happy, litter box was tidy and the water bowl was full. I will definitely be re-booking with Latoya the next time we are away.”
About: Hi, I’m Jillian. I currently own 2 dogs. A hound shepherd and mini dachshund beagle. Growing up we had a chocolate lab. Later on the family adopted a shepherd mix and then a husky. I also used to have an adorable little hedgehog and 2 birds. I currently work full time during the week and the occasional Saturday. Depending on distance I will be available for your pets for a mid day check in. I have experience at the Humane Society of Eastern North Carolina; walking/playing with dogs and feeding cats. I’ve also worked at an exotic animal farm (It’s a Zoo Life) taking care of the animals and assisting tours. I’m comfortable giving medications. Both of our family dogs take daily meditations as well as my hound shepherd. The husky is disabled, has had many surgeries and sometimes needs help getting around. I’m willing to pick up and drop off, bathe, walk and entertain your animals. I will also house sit, water plants or check mail if needed. I love puppies and kittens and I’m willing to stay overnight if needed. Exotic pets welcome! I currently work one full time job. Durning the week I have a break mid day. No breaks on the weekends but shorter hours. Depending on the distance of the address I can stop in on my break as well as before and after work. I like to stick to house rules of the owner. Please let me know specific things you would like me to oblige by or things to look out for. Otherwise the standard no crewing on people things only their own stuff, no getting on tables or counters, no biting, no pee/poop on furniture, etc.
“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”

“Dana was the best! She was flexible with our schedule and sent multiple updates throughout the day. Milo had a great day playing in her backyard with the other dogs she had and came home tired and happy!!”
About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Olga was wonderful! Her sweet little girl got along great with my small dogs. She was very attentive and provided regular pupdates. My dogs loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her again very soon!”
About: I am a teacher and someone who truly loves animals. Caring for pets brings me a lot of joy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. Because of my work schedule, my availability is mainly on weekends. On weekdays, I can receive and drop off pets after 5 pm. During the day (8:30 am to 4:30 pm), I am at work, so pets would have a calm, quiet space at home during those hours. I always aim to create a warm, responsible, and caring environment where every dog feels at ease and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule during the weekdays, which allows me to plan ahead and provide consistent care. In the mornings, I can take dogs out for a walk, feeding, and some playtime before starting my day. After work, I dedicate time in the afternoon and evening for walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m also available on weekends, where I have more flexibility to spend extra time with pets, including longer walks, playtime, and companionship. During the summer, I have significantly more availability, which makes it a perfect time for vacation bookings. You can plan your trips in advance knowing your pet will receive dedicated care and attention. I am very responsible with routines, so I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from the owner to make sure their pet feels safe and at home. When caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to make sure they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I understand that staying in their own home can help pets feel more secure, so I focus on keeping their environment consistent while giving them companionship, care, and attention. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I adjust my care to match their personality whether they are energetic and playful or calm and shy. I am also happy to send regular updates and pictures, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands 💛
About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and care needs. My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.
About: Hey everyone! I am a huge animal lover. I have always had a dog in my home whether it be a family dog or my personal dog. Currently, I have two big, high energy dogs of my own a golden retriever and a husky! I love animals and understand needing to feel like your pet is safe and loved while you’re away! I will treat your furry friends just as I would my own 🩵 I am currently on summer break for work and have open availability for scheduling! Doggy daycare is now available me for the summer to book! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly, high energy dogs as well as a one year old son who loves dogs. My dogs are good with other dogs and children as well. They enjoy playing and running around together! I also have a large crate available for us if your animal is used to being crated. We do walk and lots of play time outside in our backyard.

About: Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to Elle and Tayter Dot. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Since I'm already a dog parent, I'm already doing the dog routine - feeding, walking, playing, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird dog voice...sorry not sorry!) For the safety of all involved, we require a meet and greet as it is our best way to vet how your dog will get along with ours. I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all. We also both work from home so your dog will have human and canine company through their visit.
About: I have raised two Labradors from 6 weeks old until now. So I understand every phase of a dogs life. I know how to train puppies, walk super energetic dogs, and how to be patient. I love and appreciate all dogs. I’m music teacher that only works on a per job basis. I work only 15-20hrs a week doing this so I will have plenty of time for your pup. I walk and feed them early, go to work for a few hours and come back and walk them more. I have a small fenced in back yard with a dog door. Your dog is welcome on all the furniture and all the rooms. I have dog beds, and toys throughout the house. I love giving dog milkbone treats.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. Dogs have always been a big part of my family, and they honestly come second only to my son in my heart. I’m currently the proud dog mom of two sweet pups, a Maltipoo and a Cairn Terrier mix, who love meeting new dog friends and having playtime. Because I’m already used to the daily routine of walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of cuddles, caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I offer a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company during the day, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work remotely from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to take regular walk breaks, provide playtime, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. My home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. During the day, my two dogs free roam the house. They love lounging on the couch, looking out the window, or hanging out in my office while I work. They’re friendly and used to having a relaxed routine with lots of love and supervision. At night, my dogs sleep safely in their crates as part of their routine. I’m comfortable following whatever sleeping arrangements your dog is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me.

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds, large and small, young and elderly, I know each dog or cat has their own unique personalities and sometimes require special care and attention! My goal is to always keep the pet happy and the owners at ease! I work from home, mainly in the mornings and usually take my dog to the dog park daily, or on runs or walks, my family is always active, we love animals and putting them together is such a joy! I make sure each pet that enters our home is taken care of the way they need to be treated, whether that’s a special meal schedule, certain activities a to burn energy during the day or just lots of love and reassurance, each animal is different and needs to be treated as such!

About: About Me Hello! I’m a passionate, responsible dog owner with over a decade of experience caring for pups of all ages. I currently have a 5-year-old dog named Cholo, and I frequently pet-sit for friends—handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins. Schedule & Travel Notice I work as a school photographer, which means late summer and fall bring a very dynamic schedule with variable hours and regional travel. Since my off days and travel shifts change weekly on both weekdays and weekends, I update my availability on the app every week to reflect which days I am open for drop-ins, walks, and feedings. I currently work as a seasonal photographer for a school Photography company. At this time, my schedule isn’t concrete. Some weeks are busier than others and some weeks I have to travel. I usually become more available after November and mid December. I’ll update my availability every week as my schedule comes out every Friday night after 9 PM. I’ll make sure your pet is taken out on a nice walk if needed. I will also make sure your dog get a chance to go outside to make sure he can do his business and then maybe play around with him/her for a bit after I’ll double check that he has plenty of food and water. If not, I’ll make sure to fill it up again and before leaving your home, I’ll make sure the door is locked and every gate is closed to secure your dog doesn’t try and get out of your home.

About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and truly believe they make an incredible impact in people's lives. I have 2 dogs of my own and have provided successful doggy daycare, overnight stays and dog walking for a while now. I have two fenced in areas in the backyard with doggy pools, splash pads and toys. There's also have plenty of indoor comfy areas for dogs to relax. I am also a nanny so I'm most always available during the day and evenings. Depending on the days I can be very flexible with services needed. With two fenced in areas in our backyard, we are able to allow dogs to have plenty of space to roam freely and play outside, with a security camera that monitors at all times.

About: My name is Grace and I am 25 years old. I graduated N.C. State University, majoring in Psychology and Biology. I am currently finishing grad school for Occupational Therapy. I have always loved all animals growing up and have been pet sitting since around 10 years old. I have done various sorts of petsitting from weeks of overnight stays to just swinging by the house to play with the dogs and take them out/feed them. I am super flexible and will work with your needs! I have many years of babysitting under my belt too, as I am very responsible and will never let you down. I am currently am studying for my boards so I have plenty of flexibility around times, days, etc. so just let me know what you need and I will accommodate! I also volunteer at the animal shelter, so I have a lot of experience with different kind of dogs. Your pups will be loved, cared for and pampered when I watch them. I am reliable and just have a genuine love for animals, especially dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals :) I currently am studying for my exam in October so I am home most of the day and have plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week and weekends. My two dogs listed on my profile don’t live with me (they live with my parents), so I have no pets at home. I love to spend time with all pups and it’s very important to me that your dogs get the care that you would get from yourselves! I treat all dogs as my own and love to spoil them.
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
“Kayla is amazing! She was able to accommodate us very last minute. Kayla & family were absolutely wonderful with our pup! From the very beginning, communication was clear and prompt, which made us feel at ease leaving our dog in their care. They followed all instructions carefully, gave regular updates with photos, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. It was clear how much they genuinely love animals. We came home to a relaxed & happy pup. We couldn’t ask for a person(family) to take care of our fur baby. We definitely recommend Kayla. -Carina”
“Wes was great. He met us for a meet and greet, even for a short notice stay. The weather wasn’t great while we were away, and he made sure to still find windows to get our pup out and exercised! We’ll reach out again when we need help with our pup.”
“Hunter was amazing. She was so accommodating and my little Kirby seemed to have a great time. She sent pictures and shared funny stories about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”
“Debra was the sweetest. She took care of my babies like her own and constantly updated me with pictures and videos. Will definitely choose her again for the next boarding 🫶🏻🫶🏻”
“Paula and her husband we excellent sitters! It took amazing care of our dogs and showed them love just like they were their own! The pups even seemed sad to leave! I will definitely be using them again and I’m so grateful for all their care and attention! Thank you guys so much!”
“We feel so blessed to have found Daniel. He was so kind and caring towards my Paulie! We will try and book him again whenever he’s available. Thank you Daniel for being so awesome.”
“Rue had an amazing time playing with Gerardo's 2 dogs in their fenced-in backyard. She got to go on lots of walks and even to dog parks. Gerardo and his family seem to be so loving and engaging with the dogs, and I know our pup can't wait to get back. We were particularly impressed with the level of communication with us. We got great daily updates with lots of pictures.”
“I can’t thank Torrey and her husband enough for taking such great care of Dev (my newly adopted shelter pup!). I got plenty of photos, videos, and updates while on my trip, which really helped ease my mind. You could easily tell that Dev was having a blast the entire time.”
“First time leaving our 6 month puppy. Cody did a great job taking care of him. He sent multiple pictures and videos a day. He kept us up to date what was going on with Jersey and adopting to the new environment. Absolutely had a fantastic experience”
“Janell and her family were amazing to work with! She kept me updated on how Gus was doing and would send photos periodically. I know Gus had a great time because he slept all day after we picked him up! ? Highly recommend Janell! Thanks again! ?”
“Carolina did a wonderful job of taking care of Seamus. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the week. It’s great that she has a dog that my dog could play with and run around with. Will definitely book again!”
