About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Danielle was beyond amazing from start to finish! She sent lots of updates as well as pictures, and seemed to keep our young pup super busy and happy! She was super easy to work with and had fast responses. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“So glad I found Bri - from the first visit, I knew I would feel 100% comfortable leaving my girls in her care while I'm out of town. She's fantastic, takes her role as caregiver very seriously, and I cannot say enough good things about how well she cares for my dogs. Can I leave more than 5 stars?!?”
“Brittany was absolutely WONDERFUL taking care of our Honeybear!!! She was warm and kind and Honey was so comfortable and loved her as soon as she met her!! She has lots of experience dog sitting, so she has a beautiful, very clean, dog friendly home with all the doggie beds and toys they could ever want! Also a nice big, fenced in back yard so Honey could run and play and do her business whenever needed. She had lots of playtime and snuggles with Honey, took her on walks, sent pics, and gave us updates every single day! We've had some great sitters, but none as phenomenal as Brittany!!! We would absolutely LOVE to have her keep our baby in the future!!! -Heather C.”
“Kristal and her family are awesome! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little worried leaving Gunther for 5 days over christmas and more so when she had mentioned she takes many dogs at a time this time of year. But being last minute, I needed someone. All of her other reviews were good and so I made the leap of faith. I am so glad I did. Kristal provided daily updates and pictures. Extremely flexible and easy to work with on pick up/dropoffs and has fair and comparable prices as anyone else on the app. She even went above and beyond to buy all the dogs there a small christmas stocking with treats and a toy in it. Between her and her husband, and their several kids and all the other dogs. Your pet will get constant love and attention. Gunther will definitely be going back here anytime I need to head out of town. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Thank you so much Kristal for taking such good care of Gunther and constantly putting my mind at easy.”
“Once again Christopher took great care of my boy Oscar!! I really appreciate the quality of care he provides and I will be using his services again. Thank you Christopher 💙💙”
“This was the second time Carrie watched our dog, and she once again exceeded our expectations. We felt completely at ease leaving our fur baby in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and truly treats our pup like one of her own. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Hayley was essential in taking care of Bronson with so much love and attention. I took an international trip and felt completely at ease knowing he was being well cared for. We will definitely come back again.”
“Arleen was very engaged and active with Loki from our first get to know you meeting to his week long stay. She was attentive to his dietary, sleeping and play needs. She walked Loki daily and took him on outings. He was well taken care of and we will definitely have her take care of Loki again! I think Loki has missed her since coming home!”
“This was Polo’s first time ever being under the care of someone else. I am so appreciative of the love and care that was provided to Polo during his stay with Flavio.”
“Kim was wonderful to work with. My sweet Marley had her puppy moments but Kim was so great and never let those “puppy” incidents get to her. I stressed more about her than Kim did. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for being so great to our little girl ??”
“Thank you June for taking such great care of my two pups. You made me and them feel at ease as soon as we walked that the door. I especially enjoyed the pics and videos to let me know how they are doing.”
“Ro was amazing! She took great care of our 3 doggo’s so we could do a quick weekend getaway. She sent updates and pics regularly and we knew they were in good hands! We would definitely use her again!!!”
“Talia did an awesome job with our sweet babies! They were quite nervous and she gave them reassurance and space in a calm environment. She was very communicative with me and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her! ❤️”

“5 star fabulous. My boys are happy and tired. Smiling and barking as we said goodbye. What great to watch my pups so we could enjoy the zoo and have piece of mind that they were safe and having fun. And they met lots of new friends. Thank you”
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”

My home sits on a beautiful lake with large grassy areas, giving your dog plenty of space to explore, play, and relax on leash or off. I have both a female Boykin Spaniel dog and a female Snow Hylander cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. Whether your pet loves outdoor time, quiet companionship, or a consistent routine, I strive to make them feel right at home. Your baby needs to be cat and dog friendly. I will administer prescribed medications as needed. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for in a comfortable, stress-free environment. I am a retired teacher and am home to love and care for your pet while you enjoy your time away. My schedule is flexible to meet your pet's needs. I live on the lake and have a large grassy area for your baby to play and explore with my dog on or off the leash. Inside the home, space will be also be shared with my cat. So, your baby will need to be cat friendly as well. We have a relaxed environment, but I am willing to adjust to your dog's routine as needed.

“Morgan was phenomenal!! Not only did she work with me last minute with her having less than 1 hour notice but she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate myself and my high maintence doberman - she saved me in a pinch and I could t be more grateful! Her hospitality and care was genuine and she was steps ahead of me for what I needed as she’s already experienced. I was traveling through St. Augustine and thank goodness she was available to work with me! Shocking bonus is my doberman was unusually calm with her when she’s typically uneasy with strangers the first time, she actually handled things very very well - says a lot!”
About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own.

About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. The type of care I can provide is pet-sitting. It is important to me that your dog feel as comfortable as possible in your absence, and I feel that keeping them in a place with which they are familiar is key. This also allows you as the owner to come straight home after your travels as opposed to making additional stops before heading home. I have reliable transportation and the care and well-being of your dog will be my top priority! I look forward to speaking with you! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
“I cannot say enough good things about this pet sitter. Chris truly went above and beyond—constant communication, thoughtful updates, extra attention to my Gracie, and genuine care. Gracie totally adored him, and I felt completely at ease while I was away from her. A wonderful experience from start to finish.”
“Debora was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and little updates to let me know that Bourbon was doing great throughout the day. Bourbon had such a great time he passed out when he got home. I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”
“Melany took great care of Maggie, I got multiple picture updates and Melany has been very responsive and flexible for pick up and drop off time. Will have Maggie stay with her again next time I’m in the area.”
“Christina was absolutely fabulous, best Rover I've ever had! I highly recommend her. Everything went great. Charlie loves Christina so much. We will definitely use her again.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, medication, or quiet companionship. I’m working toward becoming a certified dog trainer, I approach every pet with patience and curiosity. I care deeply about understanding each animal’s individual behavior, needs, and personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking summer classes remotely and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am available at various times throughout the day. I’m home for the summer and primarily serve Trinity and surrounding areas. During the school year, I attend college in Charlotte and offer pet care services in that area as well. I also have a senior golden retriever who keeps me on my toes with regular walks and fresh air breaks, so I understand the importance of consistent routines and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your furry friend in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I closely follow any routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels right at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, with regular updates so you always know how they’re doing

Whether it was daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving plenty of affection and attention, I’ve always made sure my pets felt safe, happy, and loved.

I truly enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to give your dog or cat the same attentive, compassionate care they deserve while you’re away. *im currently a solo parent so my baby and toddler will join me for visits as I don’t have childcare As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into our family routine. I handle school drop-offs, dance, grocery runs, and outings, but I'm usually back home quickly. I'm very flexible for drop-in visits, walks, or boarding and can provide consistent care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention while your away! I provide loving, attentive care in a calm and safe environment. I respect your home and privacy completely. I make sure pets are fed on their exact schedule, get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection, and are never left alone longer than needed. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own. Whether I'm caring for them in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority.
About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines. Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch. However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

Dogs mean so much to me and I love to show them all the loving they need. I in NO way believe in animal cruelty, it is not in no way tolerated!! Pick me and you won't be sorry. I don't work outside the home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby which is right down my alley. I love animals! I can let your pet roam in my home if that is what they are used to and that won't bother me. I can also crate your pet if need be but only if you instruct me to do so. I also have a small fenced area for them to roam.

About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Danielle was beyond amazing from start to finish! She sent lots of updates as well as pictures, and seemed to keep our young pup super busy and happy! She was super easy to work with and had fast responses. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“So glad I found Bri - from the first visit, I knew I would feel 100% comfortable leaving my girls in her care while I'm out of town. She's fantastic, takes her role as caregiver very seriously, and I cannot say enough good things about how well she cares for my dogs. Can I leave more than 5 stars?!?”
“Brittany was absolutely WONDERFUL taking care of our Honeybear!!! She was warm and kind and Honey was so comfortable and loved her as soon as she met her!! She has lots of experience dog sitting, so she has a beautiful, very clean, dog friendly home with all the doggie beds and toys they could ever want! Also a nice big, fenced in back yard so Honey could run and play and do her business whenever needed. She had lots of playtime and snuggles with Honey, took her on walks, sent pics, and gave us updates every single day! We've had some great sitters, but none as phenomenal as Brittany!!! We would absolutely LOVE to have her keep our baby in the future!!! -Heather C.”
“Kristal and her family are awesome! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little worried leaving Gunther for 5 days over christmas and more so when she had mentioned she takes many dogs at a time this time of year. But being last minute, I needed someone. All of her other reviews were good and so I made the leap of faith. I am so glad I did. Kristal provided daily updates and pictures. Extremely flexible and easy to work with on pick up/dropoffs and has fair and comparable prices as anyone else on the app. She even went above and beyond to buy all the dogs there a small christmas stocking with treats and a toy in it. Between her and her husband, and their several kids and all the other dogs. Your pet will get constant love and attention. Gunther will definitely be going back here anytime I need to head out of town. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Thank you so much Kristal for taking such good care of Gunther and constantly putting my mind at easy.”

“Kim was wonderful to work with. My sweet Marley had her puppy moments but Kim was so great and never let those “puppy” incidents get to her. I stressed more about her than Kim did. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for being so great to our little girl ??”
“Thank you June for taking such great care of my two pups. You made me and them feel at ease as soon as we walked that the door. I especially enjoyed the pics and videos to let me know how they are doing.”
“Ro was amazing! She took great care of our 3 doggo’s so we could do a quick weekend getaway. She sent updates and pics regularly and we knew they were in good hands! We would definitely use her again!!!”
“Talia did an awesome job with our sweet babies! They were quite nervous and she gave them reassurance and space in a calm environment. She was very communicative with me and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her! ❤️”
