“Alice responded to questions quickly and sent photos of our two pups while she was caring for them. It was their first first time belng left with someone else, so she understood they might be apprehensive. She communicated observations with us, which we appreciated. We were. grateful for her help while we had to be away for meetings. We did tip her when we picked up our pups.”

“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”

“Vanessa was very accommodating with our ever changing drop off and pick up times. We will definitely ask Vanessa to care for our senior dog Millie the next time we're in the Durham area.”

“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”

“Gregg took great care of our 4-year-old Lab mix who is a high-energy handful at times. We're grateful for the holiday trip we were able to take and the new canine friends our dog made.”

“Heather is truly a one-of-a-kind dog sitter. She cared for my dog Rulo with such genuine love and attention that I felt completely at ease while I was away. Not only did she keep me updated and make sure all his needs were met, but she went above and beyond—she even baked him a dog-friendly cake for his birthday! It’s clear that Heather treats the dogs she watches as if they were her own. Rulo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored his time with her. I couldn’t recommend Heather more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter. She’s the best!”

“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”

“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”

“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”

“So grateful to Ashley & PJ for always being so kind and flexible ❤️ We never have to worry when Cooper is with them, which means so much to us. Thank you again for helping us out last minute!”

“Denise was great! She sent me pictures and updates. I knew that.Kornwallis was well cared for. Her own dog Grover Cleveland was a perfect host. We would definitely recommend Denise and will use her in the future! Kornwallis approve this message!”

“Megan stepped up and watched my girls after just a few hours notice after my other rover canceled 6 hours before drop off. My girls had a great time with her and even my shy girl Luna warmed up and felt comfortable with Megan. Will be letting them visit often during my future travels.”

“My dog was a rescue and is very shy and skittish. Julie and R.G. made her feel at ease. I’ve never had to leave her with anyone but I felt very good about leaving her with them and would definitely use them again!”

“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”

“Oh my gosh!!! My 2 girls had a blast - and I received many pictures throughout our trip to prove it !!!! Our "terror" lab puppy had a hot spot (yep that's our Gracie) and Marilyn was right on top of it with notifications and treatment plan - wow I was so impressed. Awesome pet sitter !!!!!!”

“Autumn is becoming my kitty’s other Mom. He loves being with her and all her pets. She puts up with his annoying kitten behaviors and always keeps me updated. I don’t know what I’d do without her!”


“Dafna was great! Kitties well taken care of and seemed very content when we got home. She followed my directions and even brought some packages I had delivered inside. I would definitely book with her again.”


“Aspen was SO amazing! She was ultra-communicative, took incredible care of our kitties, and is just a super sweet person. We highly recommend anyone looking for pet care to use Aspen!”


“Tooba was very communicative, kinda, and understanding of a mix-up. But, most importantly, she was able to coax our skeptical furbag out from under the bed to say hello. I felt very well-cared for!”


“Claire was reliable, communicative, and kind throughout the entire experience. I always felt confident that my dog was in great hands, and she kept me updated with messages and photos. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her! :)”

“Andrew was wonderful with our cats. They were very content when I got home. He’s super communicative and sent messages and pictures every day so I knew the kitties were doing well while I was gone. I highly recommend using Andrew for your pet sitting!”


About: I grew up with dogs, but in high school I made a good relationship with my aunt’s cat and started learning the differences in care that cats need. In college I started looking after my friends’ cats when they needed it, and it wasn’t until I graduated that I was able to get a kitten of my own. I am now raising a mediumhair dilute tortie (featured in my profile). I can’t wait to meet your cats and abide their demands.

“Shae watched my 2 cats while I was out of town and was great! I felt at ease leaving town knowing she was taking care of them. She provided daily detailed updates with pictures and played with them every day. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Ria took excellent care of my cat, she brought him a toy and treats, kept the litter box extremely clean, and even watched him over Christmas. He looked so happy in all the photos she shared. I highly recommend her!”


“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for the past four years, and I grew up with multiple Australian Shepherds in my house. I am a big runner and love taking dogs hiking and running with me too. This past summer I worked as a vet tech at an animal hospital back home in Nashville and raised a new puppy of my own. I have dog sat for new puppies and older dogs with multiple medications/ointments and everything in between! I am currently a student at UNC Chapel Hill so I am in class for about 4 hours/day, but other than that my schedule is very flexible. I cannot care for pets in my home currently, but in clients’ homes I make sure to spend time with the animals and usually play with them in the yard (if possible) and take them on walks around the neighborhood or drive them to the park to go for a hike.
“Sharon has brought so much peace of mind when we travel. I am so grateful to have her care for our animals. In addition to our cat, Sharon takes care of our ducks - I highly recommend her if you also have livestock pets.”


“Rosa is very reliable and good at taking care of my two cats. She definitely cares about them and enjoys what she does, which is greatly appreciated. Will use her services again for sure!”


“Lynsey was absolutely wonderful! She is kind, considerate, and incredibly thoughtful, and she took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She asked all the right questions, clearly cared deeply about our cat’s comfort, and made sure he felt loved and well cared for. She also left our home spotless, which we truly appreciated. I would highly recommend Lynsey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I was lucky enough to have a Mom with a full time job as a pet sitter, so I grew up helping her care for a variety of animals. I have always been an animal lover, and now that I’m working from home with a lot of flexibility, I have ample time and opportunity to give the best care possible to your 4-legged friends! I’m currently working from home and have a lot of flexibility with my job, so I have lots of time to dedicate to your pets! I am available most weekends for boarding, as well as during the week for walks and extra attention :) I live in an apartment complex with lots of space for walks and exercise. The complex also has a dog park where dogs are free to run and play!
“Mackenzie took phenomenal care of our 3 cats including one special needs senior with twice daily meds and eye care. I was so worried about traveling abroad but Mackenzie made my worries disappear by the second Rover update. We are so so appreciative :)”

“Kind, caring and very reliable dog sitters. Our little pup always came back seeming happy and well cared for and would pull on the leash to get back into their house the second time around. Fantastic!”

“Can I give six stars?? Evie and Fritz provided the exact care we were looking for. Great spaces for playing and cuddling, steady stream of attention, and pure love for dogs. When our pup got too distracted to eat dinner, they sat with her to make sure she was fully fed. Highly recommend and cannot wait to book with them again!”

“Adrian is the best! He is super communicative and sends lots of pictures of your fur baby throughout the day so you can see what they’re up to! My dog has separation anxiety and requires extra care, and Adrian was super attentive, making sure that she was comfortable and happy all day long. We will definitely be back!”


“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”


About: Growing up with parents that loved to pick up strays my love for animals came naturally. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats from all different shapes and sizes. My favorite lesson in life is that a man’s best friend is their pet. I want to help pet parents take the best care of their best friend while they are away! I am currently in college taking evening classes so i have my whole morning off to spend with your furry friends!! I enjoy going on nature walks and nothing would make me happier then to have your furry friend accompanying me I enjoy taking dogs to doggy parks or nature walks. Every dog is different so not all walks look the same. I like to encourage exercise and play time in my time with them as well as some downtime and bonding.

About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!

About: I’ve taken care of different pets my whole life! I’ve always had a ledger dog, but love animals in all shapes and sizes. I am an avid walker, and would love to take your animal out on walks or stay with them during a vacation! I am starting my nursing job the 20th and am available most days that I am off after I start. I am an early riser and usually go on a walk in the morning and throughout my day! I am in an apartment with lots of trails and dog parks within walking distance. My complex is extremely pet friendly, with a dog park/ play area on the property.
“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”


About: We have had dogs in our family for years. I have all the basic experience of taking care of a crate trained dog. We also had a high energy Australian shepherd that had to go boot camp a few times…that being said I understand their training is very important to keep up so I am open and receptive to all their training and dietary needs. I am available through August most days. I am a school teacher so once the school year starts up I will be available for afternoon drop ins or boarding etc. With all the instructions you provide me for them and exceptional love and care. Furry friends deserve to feel comfortable too. I will take any crates, beds, toys etc. that they need and try to keep them on their routine as close as possible.
“We are so thrilled to have found Cynthia! She clearly is a dog lover, AND she knows how to work well with dogs in terms of discipline, understanding them, etc. Our dog needs a lot of exercise and he is getting it! Cynthia has our highest recommendation.”

“Jessica is amazing with Sydney! She sends me updates throughout the day of Sydney's adventures meeting new pups or going on walks with friends. Always fun to see those while I'm working. Jessica has been very flexible and receptive if work requires more of my time. Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs are the center of my universe. I've spent the past 4 years as a local and state lobbyist to pass humane legislation that protects both dogs and cats. It's not just a job, it's my life's purpose. I recently lost both of my dogs, and I miss them every single day. Spending time with dogs isn't just something I enjoy, it's something I need. I don't have any pets right now and I would love to have a furry friend to keep me company. I love to get down on their level for kisses, let them sniff the grass, and just give them the freedom to just be a dog. I'd be honored to give your dog the same love and care I gave mine, and to get a little of that joy back in return. I am currently retired and can be available any day of the week after 10:00 a.m.. I am also available as late as 9:00 p.m.. I currently do not have any pets which makes my apartment ideal for dogs who need one-on-one attention. My lease does not allow overnight visits but daytime visits are perfectly okay.
About: I am an experienced, attentive, and responsible pet care-giver providing peace-of-mind and a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax while you are away for work or travel. I grew up loving and caring for every kind of pet you can imagine and I have 18 years experience caring for cats. I also have 10 years experience caring for a cockatiel and I love parrots. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can host pets in my home and can also visit your home for pet care during weekend days and in the evening. I live in a townhome neighborhood with lots of room to walk and a green space in the back. I work at a computer and take regular breaks to move around and check on my cat and other pets that I am hosting. I usually sit on the floor while I work so dog friends and other cuddly pets can sit near me if they want and get pets and attention any time. My space is clean and calm with room for pets to move around freely or rest on a comfy couch or pet bed.

About: Over the years in Carrboro/Chapel Hill, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats (young and old). My schedule is quite open currently and I would love to spend time with animals of all kind! I'm currently teaching part time (T/Th 930-12pm). Otherwise, my schedule is quite open for dog walks, dog/cat visits, and other fun stuff! I will always be very diligent with any pet care issues. My partner works at a vet, therefore, I have quick access to help and am able to ask them questions regarding any animal health issues.

About: I will care for your dogs the same way I’d want mine treated. I grew up with dogs throughout my whole life (ranging from 30lbs to 120lbs), and my neighbors often ask me to look after their pets whenever they need help. I have a wide range of experience with looking after pets including cats, dogs, snakes, and lizards. I will make sure your dogs feel happy and heard. I am currently a master’s student at UNC Gilling’s, so I’m free for pet care whenever I’m not in classes. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm, but feel free to ask about whatever time works best for you. I will treat your property with the utmost respect. I am comfortable putting your pets in their crate as well. I am very accountable and will ensure everything is as it was left.
“Rosa was amazing watching Moose. She walked her three times a day for several days and administered her food and medication without any issues. Rosa sent a photo and update with every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose was clearly well cared for, and we would highly recommend Rosa and book her again.”


“Tina took wonderful care of our dog, Dante. She is incredibly attentive and always seemed to be one step ahead of us with thoughtful ideas and suggestions to make sure he was happy and comfortable. After returning from a two-week trip, we noticed something that had never happened before—Dante, who is normally a very anxious dog, was calm, relaxed, and emotionally settled. That alone speaks volumes about the love, patience, and care Tina gave him. Being away from home for such a long time was much easier because we knew Dante was in the best hands. Thank you, Tina, for treating him with so much love, kindness, and responsibility. We are truly grateful and would trust you with Dante again without hesitation.”

“Lauren has been walking my two pups several times a week for the last few months. She’s flexible and communicative about scheduling. After a walk, she always provides a great detailed update that confirms just how observant and caring she is about each of the pups’ quirks and needs. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to know their furry family members are in great hands, for visit, a walk or a trip!”

About: Growing up, I was always the person that friends and neighbors called when they needed someone to care for their furry friends.

About: Dogs have been apart of my life for many years. I’ve been a dog owner for four years and have spent a decade pet sitting for friends and family. More recently, I’ve provided in-home care for a senior dog while their family travels, ensuring they remaining comfortable and maintained their regular schedule in a familiar environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your pet.

About: Owners and animals will love my service because I'm very hands on and love to engage with the animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own who are extremely well behaved with other animals. I've worked with dogs In particular in the past and found a passion with it. It doesn't matter if it's big dogs or small, I love to meet and interact with new animals. I have worked with aggressive breeds in the past so I know how to engage and interact with different breeds and needs. I know not all dogs are the same and each dog requires different techniques for that dog to feel safe and comfortable with a stranger. I feel confident with my ability to walk or sit most dogs. I have open availability for anyone's needs! All I ask is you reach out ahead of time just incase I have anything else booked. I follow the guidelines set by the owners. Each pet is individual and requires certain attention. My job isnt to change the comfortability or routines you have set for your animals. If I encounter any concerns or have any suggestions I will always bring them to the owner before I change any daily routine.
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life -- I grew up with 2-4 dogs in the house at any given time, and I've had my own cat Olive for 3 years now. I love to be around animals, and I'm excited to care for yours like they're mine while you're away! I'm prepared to meet your pet's needs where they're at, from providing multiple walks a day, or just being a calm presence in the room to ease loneliness. I'm working part-time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I am also more than happy to accommodate for multiple visits per day. Safety, conscientiousness, and cleanliness are at the center of my pet care ethos. I'm happy to take in mail/packages, water plants, or do any other necessary tasks while you are away as well!

“We were so lucky to have Cathy! Our dog is a bit nervous about new situations, so we told Cathy that it would take a couple days before she would warm up. Three hours later, Cathy sent us a picture of her cuddled up on the couch. Our pup clearly felt right at home and our vacation was stress-free as a result. Thank you Cathy!”

“Vanessa was very accommodating with our ever changing drop off and pick up times. We will definitely ask Vanessa to care for our senior dog Millie the next time we're in the Durham area.”

“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”

Not only did she keep me updated and make sure all his needs were met, but she went above and beyond—she even baked him a dog-friendly cake for his birthday! It’s clear that Heather treats the dogs she watches as if they were her own. Rulo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored his time with her. I couldn’t recommend Heather more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter. She’s the best!”

“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”

“My dog was a rescue and is very shy and skittish. Julie and R.G. made her feel at ease. I’ve never had to leave her with anyone but I felt very good about leaving her with them and would definitely use them again!”

“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”

“Oh my gosh!!! My 2 girls had a blast - and I received many pictures throughout our trip to prove it !!!! Our "terror" lab puppy had a hot spot (yep that's our Gracie) and Marilyn was right on top of it with notifications and treatment plan - wow I was so impressed. Awesome pet sitter !!!!!!”

“Keon was a great sitter! He took care of my dog very nicely! My dog had so much fun playing with the other dogs as well! I could see that my dog was having so much fun and that he was having a great time! ❤️ I am so satisfied, and I will certainly send my dog to board with him again! 😊”

“Romel, Carolina, and family took great care of my girl. The pictures showed how happy Corey was and seemed like she didn’t miss her own family at all! Thank you for caring for her as if she was your own!”

“Katrin did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. Her space is perfect for taking care of pups and she clearly loves dogs. She was great about getting her plenty of walks and sent lots of pictures and videos.”

“Krystene and her family were great! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. I got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely book with Krystene again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
