“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!”
“My pup came back to me SO happy and so calm, he had the absolute best time. He can be a pretty anxious guy, so I was extremely impressed. He got lots of time with other pups and time running around outside, which was wonderful. Could not recommend more!!!”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“Alison and her family had our dogs for two weeks and truly treated them as their own! We received updates throughout our vacation and it was so clear how happy and comfortable our dogs were while in their care. Alison even ordered their favorite treats when they ran out, she truly went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and loved. Knowing our lap dogs had loving people to cuddle with while we were gone allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. We cannot recommend Alison enough and are beyond grateful we found her on Rover!”
“Apollo had a great stay with Chantel. She made sure my fur baby was comfortable and cared for. Chantel sent pictures, updates and just spoiled him! Thanks much! Will use Chantel again.”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Christian was very quick in responding and was very accommodating to my schedule needs. My pups came back totally worn out and I take that as a good sign they had a good stay! Would book with him again.”
“David and Johanna did a great job! I could tell when I dropped my dog off that he was going to be in good hands. I would love to have them watch Lambeau again.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Yaryna and her family took such great care of my dog, Sky, while I was at a wedding. I could tell Sky had such a good time when I picked him up. Sky’s already looking forward to the next time he can stay there!”
“Jenny is excellent and took great care of my dog and treated her like family and was giving me updates and pictures of her every Day and she gave me a piece of mind knowing she’s in safe hands with Jenny . Definitely recommend and will use her again for future”
“Stephanie and her family were fantastic, helping me out and making me feel really comfortable with leaving my puppy overnight. She sent me pictures throughout, and I know he was well cared for. He came home tired and snuggly, the sign of a fun time!! I absolutely recommend Stephanie and her family.”
About: Extensive background training dogs (15+ years), experienced dog owner, opening up my home to welcome other dogs for doggie daycare and boarding. My current resident dog had hosted 25+ foster siblings each year since he was 6 months old. He loves to play but also loves a couch nap. Our children are young but have grown up raising foster dogs. I have an extensive history working with younger (and shy) dogs on crate-training, house training, and general obedience skills. Our resident dog is extremely submissive and gets a long with any friendly dog. I am a stay at home mom who recently left my part time job. Other than carpool and driving kids around to activities, I am home most of the day. We love dogs in our home and our resident dog is used to having other dogs around (friends’ dogs and foster siblings). I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly resident dog to keep your dog company. We have baby gates throughout the house for dogs who are not used to being crated and happy to crate your dog during times we are away from the house.
“Mary did a fantastic job watching Skye. She made coordination for the visit, drop-off, and pick-up incredibly easy. I loved receiving regular communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. Skye was in great hands, and I highly recommend Mary to anyone!”
“Wonderful sitter! She took good care of our girls and provided lots of updates! I loved seeing how happy my dogs were and I know she made them feel right at home! Would highly recommend!”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“It’s hard to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, but Carol was wonderful. Great communication, very caring, and reliable. I highly recommend Carol!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of our two fur-babies! She was able to help our senior girl with meds and made sure she was comfortable while our puppy played in the fenced yard. Fantastic with communication and photos throughout our stay! Will definitely book with her again”

“Ella was absolutely wonderful with Tillie! She provided fantastic care and sent fantastic daily updates and photos that totally put my mind at ease while I was away. It is such a relief to find a sitter you can completely trust. I'm so glad I already have her booked for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
“They took excellent care of my kitten and took heed to the special instructions I had left! I’m grateful I could find this quality of care on such short notice!”

“Caitlyn has been watching my cat for a while now, and she’s absolutely my go-to pet sitter—hands down the best! She always replies to texts promptly, provides regular updates, and follows instructions perfectly. Her work ethic is outstanding, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for with Caitlyn!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and she made the whole experience incredibly easy. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates and photos, and most importantly Gus absolutely loved her. She spent plenty of time with him at every visit and I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away. I would absolutely book Jennifer again and highly recommend her!”
“Vanessa was great with our birdies. It’s hard to find someone is comfortable taking them out, but she came and met them then able to take of care of them while we were out of town! She communicates well and very nice. We will keep her contact info for the future!”
“Lauren was wonderful. She did everything we asked and took good care of our cat while we were away. She even brought a package inside that was left on our porch so it wouldn't look like we were away. Would definitely engage her again.”
“Sydnee did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Marlin. He can be very shy and difficult, but she took the time to work with him and get to know him, and he started to trust her very quickly. She also helped with other tasks and would highly recommend her for any pet and/or house care!”
“Valari was very responsive and attentive! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her again next time we have a trip!”
About: Been watching dogs since I was in high school. My neighbors, friends and family rely on me to watch their dogs whenever they’re away on vacation anywhere from weekend trip to multiple weeks away. I’m currently working part time so, I have plenty of time to check in on your pups! Currently available Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays any time. On Saturdays anytime after 2pm Have a dog to keep your fur baby company! She’s an older dog but loves to play chase in the backyard. If needed can put pup in crate.
“This was our second time having Heather take care of our cat with drop-in visits. She is very detailed, follows pet care guidelines, and communicates well. She is kind and caring to pets. I could tell that my cat, who can be skiddish, was very comfortable with her and well cared for.”
About: Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs almost all of my life. The only time I didn’t have a pet was when I first moved away from home, but I got my wonderful dog, Poppy, as soon as possible. Followed by our gentle Snoopy and now Kevin Bacon the cat. I look forward to making your pet feel loved and cared for however long they need it!! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I work remotely from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I do have a toddler at home but can coordinate care or bring him along when possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for walks or drop in visits. I’ll treat your home like my own and make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for around 30 years. I have both fostered and owned animals as well as watched other. I have owned my dog since she was a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs. I have helped family friends with their older dogs who need help moving around and cannot stay home alone. I have also long term fostered a special needs dog. I am an empty nester and when my children moved out they took their pets. I’ll be able to devote my time and attention to your pets as you need me to. During my previous time pet sitting I have stayed at the owner’s home as well as done 2-3 times a day check ins. When doing these I play by house rules. Crating a dog is not a problem as that is what I do with my own. I have pet sat for people who do and do not crate their animals.
“Audrey did a wonderful job checking in on our dog and 2 cats while we were away. We got report cards with pictures for every visit and she kept us updated on any concerns that arose. We would be happy to book her services again in the future!”
“Angela is the most thoughtful and attentive friend to our pups! Her warm friendly presence and consistent attention ease our worries while anway. I know the pups adore Angela, they’re always smiling in the pictures she shares!”

About: I work from home, which makes it easy for me to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. My work from home schedule also allows for me to have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks during the work day. I have one dog, Jippy, who is basically a goofy teddy bear. He spends a lot of time with other dogs and loves having fur friends around. I love animals and can promise yours will be in good hands with me. Feel free to send me a message with any questions! I currently work from home in a job that allows me flexibility. This allows me to provide care for your dog, whether in-home, or just a drop-in or walk. Whatever parameters are set for your pet will be followed. I have experience with dogs with many different personalities and needs and am happy to adapt as necessary to keep them comfortable.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide dependable, loving, and attentive care so your dog feels comfortable, safe, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing by your side, I am committed to giving them the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I am home most of the day and have the flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention and care. My dogs are typically only left alone for about two hours at a time, so your pet will have lots of companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I’m happy to maintain your dog’s normal routine and make them feel comfortable and at home while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being is my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality while providing plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship. You can feel confident knowing your dog is in a safe and loving environment with someone who genuinely care about their happiness. I have a fenced in backyard and can easily crate them if this is needed.
“First and best experience with a pet sitter! I’ll always have her watch my pups, she treats them like her own family! My doggies are well cared for and I feel mentally at ease.”
“They were amazing! I was nervous to leave my pups but they were so tuckered out when they got home and I know they took great care of them while staying there! Will definitely use them again when I need a sitter!”
“Marlon was great with our pup, it was Genji’s first time with daycare, first time being away from home and he was a little anxious but Marlon made sure Genji felt comfortable. He”
About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. We both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱
About: We have a spacious 1.3-acre property where dogs can enjoy plenty of room to play and exercise. Our friendly, crate trained dog, Yuki, loves having company. Dogs have access to fresh water, a dedicated open living room for roaming and play, neighborhood walks, and a backyard dog-play area. We supervise all outdoor time and keep dogs separated when we aren’t nearby. We also follow each dog’s normal feeding routine and provide a safe, comfortable environment. As someone who is home most of the day, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, plenty of attention, and a routine that closely matches what they're used to at home. I'll also follow feeding schedules carefully and make sure your pet has the space and comfort they need during mealtimes. I have one dog at home, and your pet’s safety is always my priority. I have a huge, fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to exercise, play, and relax. There is also a front yard with a secure dog tie-out pole, allowing them to safely enjoy the front area as well. The backyard has plenty of shaded spots for comfortable outdoor time, and all pets are always supervised while outside. I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, care instructions, and individual preferences to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay
“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”
About: I am a private chef who spends most of the day baking, cooking, and playing with my Morkie, Brownie, and sweetie Black cat, Meryl. Brownie is small and friendly and gets along with all dogs. He has a bubbly personality, just like me! Meryl is an elder cat that prefers a sunlit window to a human but is very kind to humans and other pet visitors! I have experience with small puppies, large dogs, and cats of different breeds. I used to volunteer my time at shelters and rehoming spaces. I am home often enough to give love, attention, and potty breaks! I would love to spend time with your pet and help them feel more at ease while you're away. Available for walks and at-home check-ins! I work from home on my own schedule since I facilitate culinary spaces and non-profits. I can be flexible with different timing needs to support care! I have pet beds, feeding dispensers, filtered water fountains, and plenty of toys! I like to keep the home at a more room-temperature so pets (and myself!) can stay comfortable. In your house, I follow instructions and ask questions before I begin to care. I prefer to stay only in approved spaces in the home and know where all the needed materials are provided.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience working with dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Providing safe, reliable, and attentive care is something I take seriously, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am currently a full-time student, which allows me to spend lots of time at home. Your pet will receive plenty of attention and will not be left unattended for extended periods. Our home has a fenced yard and is located in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Pets are treated like family here and are welcome throughout the home.
“Tracey is an excellent sitter! She was very accommodating to our schedule and did a wonderful job taking care of Annabelle! She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day, which we loved to see. Annabelle had a blast and we’re looking forward to booking Tracey again soon!”
“I booked last minute for a dog daycare with Dean for my two Great Pyrenees. He was very flexible and caring with my pups! I will definitely bring them back! Thank you Dean for taking care of Lucy and Valentino!”
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was old enough to walk! I have a cat and great dane, and have had many other small pets in the past. I walk my great dane every day and I am happy to take care of your little loved ones! I am a full time student and work/volunteer part time, so I try to be as flexible as I can with clients. I am happy to make space in my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I do not leave pets unattended. I am very observant and quick on my feet. Your pets safety is my #1 concern. My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
“Jessica was super communicative, kind, very sweet to our dogs, sent us lovely updates, and overall gave our dogs a fabulous daycare day. The dogs seemed to make themselves right at home with her. I would definitely recommend her services and use her again!”

“Ella is incredibly awesome!!! She loves my pup so much and takes the best care of him. Ella is always reliable, always on time, provides tons of pictures and videos and gives very detailed feedback on how the walk or drop in visit was. She is super friendly and just an all around amazing pet sitter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ELLA!!!”
“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”
“They were very friendly, communicative, and clearly love dogs. My pup felt comfortable with them right away, and they handled everything with care and attention. It was great knowing my dog was in such good hands”
About: Been watching dogs since I was in high school. My neighbors, friends and family rely on me to watch their dogs whenever they’re away on vacation anywhere from weekend trip to multiple weeks away. I’m currently working part time so, I have plenty of time to check in on your pups! Currently available Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays any time. On Saturdays anytime after 2pm Have a dog to keep your fur baby company! She’s an older dog but loves to play chase in the backyard. If needed can put pup in crate.
About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).
“Holly is great with my pup! She is very reliable and trustworthy! She frequently provides updates so I’m not worried at all! 100% recommend her for overnight stays and dog walking! Very trustworthy”
“Kristina was very easy to work with and very flexible with her availability. She did a great job taking care of Ruby and was very thorough and professional with follow up and updates while I was out of town. Will definitely use her again and recommend her.”
“Rissa has been nothing short of amazing with my dogs. She spent plenty of time with the dogs and made sure they got lots of love and attention. I also felt reassured having her as a walker with all the constant updates and pics. She also managed to get our dogs to walk better then they ever have. We will absolutely be using her again”
“Kaitlyn was so great to our dog, Cowboy. She walked him a couple of different routes and took him to our local dog park to sniff around and play 😁 we loved the pictures she sent and he absolutely loved her. We were a bit nervous since we never used a service like this for our only pet but we appreciate Kaitlyn’s outstanding effort, my husband and I highly recommend her!!”
About: i’ve been pet sitting for the past five years. I also work with a nonprofit dog rescue and foster puppies. I have watched dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a full time job but I can fit pets into my weekends. I can do three drop ins a day for dogs and cats if needed! If you just need one drop in I can after work (5:30 m-f) I do not offer in-home boarding, as I foster and have three dogs of my own. However, I provide attentive and reliable care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection while keeping their environment safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their well-being and happiness.
“Alyson has walked our dog many times and she has been nothing short of amazing! She always arrives on time, walks for the duration of the stay, and sends great photos. She is very reliable and has helped us out even on short notice. 100% would recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and spent four years working as a Veterinary Assistant in Wilmington and Chapel Hill. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, safety, and lots of love. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and deeply loved while you’re away. I currently work from home running a small business. I do not work every day. I am flexible and available to help you out when needed. I have a Labrador Retriever and two senior, friendly domestic shorthair cats of my own. While you’re away, I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I like to keep a log for you on how they did and how things went for our time together. We have a nice sized home to accommodate your furry friend. Pets are allowed upstairs. We are happy to have your baby sleep on his or her bed in our room at night, or a crate if that’s what they are used to. Please supply your pet’s favorite bed or crate. Pets are allowed on the couch. We have a large, fenced back yard for those pups that like to sunbathe or sniff around during the day! I focus on calm, gentle care, plenty of affection (when welcomed), and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly so you have peace of mind. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens and special needs pets through vet time experience and personal experience.
About: My family is full of dog lovers! We have 2 small dogs. A Boston Terrier and a Frenchton. They are playful and love people and other animals. I have 3 kids- one in college and 2 high schoolers. They have never met a dog they didn't like :) We treat pets like family. Over the course of our marriage my husband and I have recused 3 Weimarinars. We loved being able to bring a dog into our home and give it a better life. I own my own business and work from home. I have a lot of flexibility for walks, playtime, naps, and loving on your furry friend. Pets are treated like family in my home. In a typical M-F they are never left alone. There is lots of time for walks andplay time.

I look forward to getting to know you and you animals! I work a part-time job Tuesday/Thursday and am looking to fill the rest of time taking care of furry friends! I am able to travel anywhere in Wake County and am available for most holidays! I will gladly provide play time, walks, medication, and all other needs for your pet. I am comfortable handling of all types of pets and will work to facilitate trust and a bond with your pet.

“My pup came back to me SO happy and so calm, he had the absolute best time. He can be a pretty anxious guy, so I was extremely impressed. He got lots of time with other pups and time running around outside, which was wonderful. Could not recommend more!!!”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“Alison and her family had our dogs for two weeks and truly treated them as their own! We received updates throughout our vacation and it was so clear how happy and comfortable our dogs were while in their care. Alison even ordered their favorite treats when they ran out, she truly went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and loved. Knowing our lap dogs had loving people to cuddle with while we were gone allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. We cannot recommend Alison enough and are beyond grateful we found her on Rover!”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Christian was very quick in responding and was very accommodating to my schedule needs. My pups came back totally worn out and I take that as a good sign they had a good stay! Would book with him again.”
“David and Johanna did a great job! I could tell when I dropped my dog off that he was going to be in good hands. I would love to have them watch Lambeau again.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
About: Extensive background training dogs (15+ years), experienced dog owner, opening up my home to welcome other dogs for doggie daycare and boarding. My current resident dog had hosted 25+ foster siblings each year since he was 6 months old. He loves to play but also loves a couch nap. Our children are young but have grown up raising foster dogs. I have an extensive history working with younger (and shy) dogs on crate-training, house training, and general obedience skills. Our resident dog is extremely submissive and gets a long with any friendly dog. I am a stay at home mom who recently left my part time job. Other than carpool and driving kids around to activities, I am home most of the day. We love dogs in our home and our resident dog is used to having other dogs around (friends’ dogs and foster siblings). I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly resident dog to keep your dog company. We have baby gates throughout the house for dogs who are not used to being crated and happy to crate your dog during times we are away from the house.
“Mary did a fantastic job watching Skye. She made coordination for the visit, drop-off, and pick-up incredibly easy. I loved receiving regular communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. Skye was in great hands, and I highly recommend Mary to anyone!”
“Wonderful sitter! She took good care of our girls and provided lots of updates! I loved seeing how happy my dogs were and I know she made them feel right at home! Would highly recommend!”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“It’s hard to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, but Carol was wonderful. Great communication, very caring, and reliable. I highly recommend Carol!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of our two fur-babies! She was able to help our senior girl with meds and made sure she was comfortable while our puppy played in the fenced yard. Fantastic with communication and photos throughout our stay! Will definitely book with her again”
“I cannot recommend Dan and Kevin highly enough! From the very beginning, they’ve been absolutely incredible—caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to making sure Leo feels happy and safe. They go above and beyond by sending tons of adorable photos and super detailed messages that always brighten my day. It’s so comforting to know my furry kid is in such loving hands while I’m away. Thank you for everything!”
“Please please book ! Tionne was so thoughtful and my pup was in great hands. Lots of updates and pictures and the environment was so safe and loving . We will be booking again.”
“Christine was flexible in arranging dropoff/pickup times, sent pictures of Scout every day, answered all of my questions/concerns, and was wonderful with Scout, who's normally very standoffish with strangers. Made it very easy for me to relax while traveling. Would definitely recommend!”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“From the time of booking through the end of the stay, Brittany made everything go smoothly. Videos were sent of my pup and he looked so happy. It’s like he was on a vacation of his own. Highly recommend sending your pups to Brittany.”
“Cannot say enough great things about Katelyn. Super friendly, great communication, and frequent pictures and updates! Teddy came home happy and got lots of cuddles from Katelyn.”
