Personalized care for your dog or cat - Clayton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Clayton
“I had a bad experience with a previous rover sitter so I was so reluctant to leave my baby but Casey eased all of that! She was extremely attentive with our baby. To the point where she will be my go to whenever I'm in the area and she is available. She was kind, very responsive and really eased all of my concerns. Thank you again for caring for our baby especially during our time of need!”
“Barbara was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time since moving to a new city and leaving my dog with someone other than a family member. Barbara made me feel so comfortable to leave my dog with her, she erased all of my worries the moment I met her! It was clear how deeply she cared for animals and evident that she would take amazing care of any animal entrusted to her. Barbara sent me regular photos and updates on how my dog was doing, I never had to question or worry that my dog wasn't treated properly. I would highly recommend choosing Barbara as a sitter to anyone looking for someone to love on your pet for a while!”
“My labradoodle stayed 5 days with Sarai having never boarded before and she handled him and his medicine with ease. She is professional and keeps her home and yard tidy and welcoming for her visiting dogs. Her large fenced yard makes a safe exercise area for daily play. She is friendly and easy to work with and accommodates the needs of her customers.”
“This was the first time Mia, our 14 year old pet, has ever spent the night away from family. I am thankful Mia was happy with her sitter, Michelle. Michelle sent us pictures and we were appreciative of how well Mia under the care of Michelle.”
“Dominic was great with Jazzy. We had a emergency room visit a couple days before drop off and I was kind of worried, but she was in great care. Her wound is almost completely healed, like nothing ever happened. Dominic also administered her antibiotic medicine as well. Jazzy also made two new friends Pepper and Parsley. Dominic was also great with sending updates and pictures of Jazzy during the visit. If you decide to give Dominic a try you won't be disappointed and the dogs will love the backyard, plenty of room to run and frolic and it's fenced in.”
“Oh my God. Chantel is the best. We had never been separated from our Dog since we got her in November 2023. She did a great job caring for our baby girl for 6 days while we were away. She kept us informed of how she was doing and shared videos of her the entire time we were away. She is truly an amazing and gentle pet lover. We would highly recommend her to care for your pets when needed. We would definitely give her a 5 Star rating 😉 Thanks so much Chantel and family for loving our baby girl while we were away.”
“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“Mitzy was such a great dog sitter. My dog has not been away from us for a long time. She took the time to make sure Max was welcome and comfortable. I will take my Max back there again.”
“My little one had so much fun staying with Courtney! I did not have to worry at all about her care or safety while I had to be away. Courtney sent daily updates with pictures. I will definitely use Courtney again!”
“Alexandria was very accommodating when taking our pup fairly last minute for the night. She kept us well informed with updates and photos throughout, and we knew he was in good hands with her and her own pups. He seemed to have a lot of fun!”
“Evelyn was above and beyond! She sent great daily updates and followed all of our directions and more. Above all we had what you would call a travel nightmare on our way home which ultimately ended in a canceled flight. Evelyn took care of our Harper for an extra night without hesitation! Brings us so much peace of mind to know we have someone we can rely on for our dog care!”
“Luke was super with my girl! He did a great job with communication and providing updates periodically. I could tell she was in good hands when I dropped her off with Luke and she came home a happy girl! Would definitely use him again!”

“I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her communication was excellent from start to finish—clear, timely, and reassuring, which made being away so much easier. She was incredibly thoughtful and proactive, checking in regularly and making sure every detail was covered without ever needing to be asked. What stood out most was the care she gave my senior cats. She handled them with such patience, gentleness, and quiet attentiveness. Everything was done seamlessly and almost behind the scenes—exactly the kind of calm, low-stress care older pets need. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clear sense that they had been truly looked after. I would absolutely trust her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”

Thank you Kaelyn for a great job, we will continue to use your services when we need them!”

“Julia was fantastic with our 3 dogs for an hour drop in. She was on time, sent detailed notes about the visit and was super flexible with our schedule and needs. Will be utilizing her services many more times in the future!”
About: I adopted my own very shy cat about a year ago. The shelter was concerned about me not having cat care experience but with a lot of patience and attentiveness, he adjusted beautifully and is now very happy and comfortable! I know all cats are different and I'm dedicated to caring for them with patience and love.
“Hannah was super amazing! Very great at communicating and made me feel very safe having her hangout with my little ones. She did an amazing job at making sure both of my cats got fed wet food(with one of them being a bully). Really an amazing person to book with definitely recommend! I already have my next booking setup☺️”
“Caroline took great care of our kitty! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was able to get our grumpy guy to warm up to her. I would definitely book her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Clayton
“Julia took great care of Bowser and cleaned up after his puppy accidents (we are still working on going outside). We already have her booked for some upcoming drop-in visits!”
“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”
“Moses had a great day with Sarai. He is a pretty anxious guy, but she was great with him. She sent us several updates during the day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve walked and boarded dogs for friends and neighbors for years and have done extensive volunteer work with animals-it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve always considered myself an animal advocate and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, I tailor each walk to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on their well-being. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to plan my day around your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, and care. When caring for pets in my home, I follow their regular routine to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, and get the right amount of exercise and attention. I take time for play, walks, and companionship, always keeping their safety my top priority. I treat every pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play, nap, and explore.
“Arden was great with my baby! She sent me picture updates and made sure she was well attended to. I definitely would like to keep her in my rotation of sitters. Thank you so much!”
About: If you’re anything like me, my dogs are my world. I wouldn’t leave my kids with just anyone and the same rules apply to my fur babies. I will adjust to your dog’s needs. I understand the importance of keeping them safe and making them feel comfortable. I’ve always been the free dog sitter for my friends and family because everyone knows I love dogs and I will take great care of them. I work from home so my availability is open. I can’t wait to love on your fur babies ❤️ I work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies and be attentive to their needs. My schedule is flexible and the dogs would rarely be left alone. I have two teenagers who assist as well. I have a fenced in yard (1 acre) and two friendly dogs who love to play. My home is a dog friendly home, so we do snuggle up on the couch. I can also assist in crate training if needed.
“Jackie was amazing looking after my dog! She and her family treated my dog like he was part of the family! Jackie was very easy to work with, very professional, and it’s easy to tell she has a passion for animals! I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: My wife and I have been been around animals our enter lives, from dogs and cats to horses and goats. Currently we have a 10 year old rescue pup, and have used some of our spare time to volunteer at the local animal shelters. We both work from home, and have a four year old son (who spends much of the day at preschool), but when he's home loves spending time with the dogs and helping out. Large gated back yard, nearly an acre for them to run and play in. Our dog loves to swim in our pool, and yours is welcome to as well. Inside we have plenty of space for them to relax and be comfortable.
“Austin send it a great job taking care of Wally. How do I know? When I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave and he relaxed and had a big smile on his face! We will be back!”
“George is great! We use him frequently for daycare, and Bentley always comes home happy and tired at the end of the day. George takes Bentley running and swimming during the day, you name it. He also works with your dog on different commands to help their stay go smoothly. Highly recommend!!”
“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”
“What a great experience with Martine and her husband. They obviously made Bryce feel welcomed in their home … as by the second day he went straight to her front door and didn’t look back while I was leaving. Also want to “shout out” her willingness to be a bit flexible with the schedule … (I was meeting a friend locally and wanted to be able to enjoy Raleigh for dinner (which was awesome at The Plate). This pet sitting experience enhanced my visit to Raleigh !!!”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”

“Courtney is amazing and would highly recommend! She has said yes everytime we needed her. She even walked our girl a day out of being at hospital and refused to leave us stranded. Thank you for being amazing and dependable”
“Leah is an amazing dog walker for Emmie! She is attentive, always receptive to what our pup needs, and as an added bonus takes great pics of her for our enjoyment! Emmie loves her!”
“Larry is amazing! He quickly established a rapport with my skittish Goldendoodle, and my big dog (96 lbs) is putty in his hands. Larry even put my trash bins away, which is huge considering I'm on crutches. My animals know they can fully trust Larry, and so do I.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.
“Hannah was amazing with walking our little guy. She made time in her schedule to walk our sweet puppy around when normally not available. We were so appreciative of her doing that and our puppy benefited greatly as well! She has a caring heart for your pets and it shows by her sacrifice for us!”
“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10. Through neighbors, family, and friends I have been able to take care of many different dog breeds, behavior levels, and ages. From 10 pounds to 120 I have been able to learn about different reactions and temperaments and how to handle mostly everything. Working at a grooming salon that specialized in disabled and senior dogs has definitely helped teach me some skills on how to handle tough situations and make sure your baby is okay 100% of the time. Working as a current Veterinary Assistant I can assure you that your fur baby will be in good hands with any emergencies or accidents. I currently work part time as a veterinary assistant during most weekdays so that means I’m able to watch your fur babies all weekend long! Only able to look after dogs at your own home. Will make sure no mess is left and that your fur babies routine will continue as normal.
About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!
“Will definitely be reaching out to Yanke again in the future! My work has me traveling last minute and she was immediately responsive. Great communicator and the dogs loved her!”
“Rodrigo did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog Cash! He sent great pictures and a lot of them. It was also short notice and he still remained flexible. Couldn't have been more pleased with his services. Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of my old lil man.”
About: Hi, I have experience with all types of pets from horses to birds and small animals and I'm happy to provide the best care to meet your pet's specific needs. Most importantly, I love all animal friends. We currently live with a cute cat named Coco and two guinea pigs, Darwin and Gumball. I work part time so I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for and play with your pooch pal or feline friend. I live in an apartment with balcony. (My furnishings are all pet friendly). I would love to take your dog to the nearby dog park though to run around. I have two tweenagers who would absolutely love to play with your pup as well. We also have an outgoing kitty who loves making new friends.
