“Elizabeth and Nick are great! We immediately felt comfortable with them at our Meet and Greet. Since this was the first time ever boarding our dog, it was very important to us that we felt comfortable trusting our dog in their care. Today, we picked up our dog, Meadow, from her first boarding experience. We can tell she enjoyed it. Also, during her stay with Elizabeth and Nick, we received several photos and even a video of Meadow participating in activities such as while at play with other dogs, during walks/hikes, hanging out with their kids, etc. These updates made us smile knowing that Meadow is happy, is receiving great care, and is interacting with their family as if she were a part of their family. Finding Elizabeth and Nick as pet sitters is a blessing for us! My husband and I are already planning to be repeat customers.”
“Candice did an amazing job. This was the first time I have ever left my dog with an overnight sitter so I was nervous. With Candice I had no worries at all. She kept me updated with my dog, made sure he had everything he needed. I would definitely book her again for an overnight trip. Thank you!”

“Tulasi and her family were absolutely incredible with our dog! They were constantly sending updates and pictures. We had peace of mind that our pup was in good hands the whole time we were gone!”
“Lutisa was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. She sent daily pictures and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog had plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It’s clear that Lutisa truly loves what she does. I will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations! ♥️ Bethune”
“Amazing sitter. Can’t believe we even almost took our boys to a boarding facility, this is the way to go. Gabrielle was fantastic looking after our little furry family members taking them to the dog park, walking regularly and even getting them pup cups for Sam’s birthday. She is also good with giving updates and sending pictures/videos throughout their stay. If Gabrielle is someone you’re thinking about requesting to take care of your fur baby and she is available look no further she’s perfect! <3”
“Jenna and Shane were wonderful to work with! They were happy to set up a meet and greet, which made me feel at ease about leaving Rosie with a new sitter. Throughout the long weekend, they kept us updated with great communication and adorable pictures. We were especially grateful that they accommodated a late pickup, as we couldn’t wait to reunite with our pup. We’re so glad to have found a great new sitter.”
“Thank you Terry for taking care of my furbaby. Anyone looking for a great sitter should really consider Terry, my pup was wagging her tail and as happy as she could be when I arrived to pick her up and in talking with Terry I felt great about leaving my pup with her for the trip I took and will be scheduling with her in the future.”

Andrea kept me updated with texts and photos throughout our trip which made my heart happy. She also was able to help out on short notice. Thank you Andrea!”

“I was hesitent to leave Cooper for so long as it was his first-time being away for that length of time, but Katie treated him like her own and he was happy! Katie kept me informed and sent pictures of Cooper and eased my fears about being away during 4th of July fireworks (a scary time for him)! I'll definitely use her again if the need arises!

About: Hello! I love all animals and will be willing to look after your dog and do the best I can to ensure they feel at their best! I graduated from NC State with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science in 2015. I received my Master's degree in nutrition in 2018. I have completed a few internships at vet clinics and shelters. I welcome all dogs as I am most experienced with horses -so big dogs are not a problem! Animals have always been a passion of mine and I know how to pay special attention to dogs and their needs. Generally I can spot common issues and know how to stay calm in an emergency. What the owner suggests, I will keep in mind at all times. There will be no worries about your fur babies under my care! I do work during the day M-F, and do not work from home. So if this isn’t a problem, I will give your fur baby the upmost care and attention when I return from work during their stay! I am home all day during weekends and most holidays! I work full time M-F. However, despite this, I am so attentive to my fur babies.

I take it very serious for fur babies to be tended to and watched. I am very cautious and think of their safety, always. I am very communicative and will notify owners of anything that is an emergency! I ask many questions to make sure your fur baby feels safe and as happy as they can be in my or their home.
“Great with our cat. Arrives on time and always provides enrichment for our cat. Easy to communicate with. And gives the best photos on the report card. Could not recommend anyone better.”
“This is the second time that Breanna has pet sit for our 3 cats. She is punctual, takes time to interact with the cats, gives detailed reports and sends photos of the cats. We trust her with our cats, and with our home. Breanna is kind and obviously loves animals. We will continue to book Breanna for future pet sitting and highly recommend her to others needing a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter.”
“I always have anxiety when going out of town because of my pets and their care. I didn't have that this trip because Kelly made sure to take care of everything! My 3 spoiled chunky babies were truly in great hands. She went above and beyond basic care and was worth every penny. I will only be using Kelly any time we travel out of town! The Rover cards we received really kept my heart and mind at ease (plus I think one cat fell in love with her) all around great first experience using Rover! I will be recommending this service and Kelly to anyone local who needs a loving,caring, watchful eye for their pets.”

We will absolutely ask McKenna first the next time we have to go out of town!”

About: We have had many different types of pets over the years and understand the worry of having someone care for your pets while you are away. We are here to help with that worry by providing your pet a loving, fun and safe environment while you are away. Our family consist of my husband, a son in college and a daughter in high school and myself. We have a 13 year old Beagle/Terrier mix who is mostly interested in chasing squirrels and naps. We have recently rescued a kitten who is a fire cracker and provides a lot of interaction and entertainment for other cats and dogs who engages with her. I am home full time and when the children are home both enjoy caring and playing with the pets in our care. Being home allows me to have eyes on your pets and be readily available and responsive. We are well off the beaten path with lots of yard to roam and other barn yard pets. We have a small farm with an area fenced for our dogs as well as a fenced pasture for our farm animals. We also can accommodate crates for those pets that prefer the safety of their known space. Your pet with be a part of our tribe when they are here and will be safe and have a great time. I welcome frequent contact and am very responsive to each pet and their owners needs. Your pet will get the highest level of care here on the farm.
About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it. I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.
“We picked up a very happy pup. She enjoyed playing with Taza and her family. She met a cat and that went better than we imagined. Taza made sure she ate, ran, played and had a good time.”
“Tulasi did wonderful with Paco we've never left her with anybody but family and she just loved her and was excited to go back the next day and I've already setting up to book three more overnight visits within the next few months so I would highly recommend her”

“I found Nick and Elizabeth through Rover. I highly recommend them! I am thankful for a service like Rover so I was able to find them to take care of Pilate! Don't hesitate with this family. They are GREAT! ☺️”
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”

“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter! She has kept my nine-year-old Maltipoo, Happy, several times. Each time, Stephanie went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and to ensure that Happy felt right at home. Even her poodle, Sammy, was the perfect "little host' and is now Happy's new BFF. The photo updates that Stephanie sent me throughout the day always brought smiles to my face as I could see how much Happy was enjoying himself as he and Sammy explored her lovely fenced backyard or sat together staring outside. I am so pleased to have found such a wonderful and safe "home away from home" for my little fur baby.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I've had up to 5 furry tails at a time (3 dogs and 2 cats.) I have my own cat myself which I have taken care of since she was about 10 weeks old. I have previous pet sitting/walking/bathing experience from working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where we also took care of cats. Experienced in house sitting for extended periods of time to just needing a check-in whichever is needed. I'm currently working part time as I am a full time student athlete in college right now. However, I have privilege of a flexible schedule in case of last minute booking needs. I am comfortable with any dogs of any breed or size. I am willing to keep you as informed as you would like to ensure a sound mind for the owner.
“Excellent dog walker. I’m grateful for the compassionate care of my dog while I’m going through a difficult period in my life. She cares about the dogs and has good, clear communication.”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and fish! My cat has epilepsy so I am very experienced with administering medication and dealing with special critters 🥰 I would love to take care of your pets! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate your needs whether it’s walks during the day or overnight stays to make sure they are well taken care of. I would love to keep an eye on your animal(s) in the comfort of your own home. Whether you have shy pets or outgoing ones, I’ll have them covered!
About: I have cared for all different types of animals since I was 7 years old. I have a solid background in behavioral psychology, dealing with challenging behavior, and training puppies. I love every minute that I get to spend with animals! My schedule is pretty flexible and I am happy to work with you. I will do my very best to accommodate you and your pet. The health and safety of your pet is my number one priority. I will also maintain their routine, environment, and preferences so they are happy and comfortable!
About: I have experience volunteering at rescues, I worked at an animal shelter for a year and a dog boarding daycare facility for a year. I had my own dog and cat pet sitting business back in Highschool. I have fostered animals too. I have a cat named cookie who is 2 years old and have previously owned a dog and grew up with dogs. I love animals and love to learn about them I work part time at a county park so have a lot of time for taking care of dogs or cats. Would love for this to be like a part time job. I’m unable to pet sit but I can house sit. I’ve house sitter pets in my neighbor hood and really enjoyed it so decided to start on rover.
About: Hello! I’m an animal science major at North Carolina State University. I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years now for friends and family. I worked at Willow Run Dog Boarding for 4 years before they sold it. I’ve also helped out long-term for a family who worked night shifts for a year and I foster dogs through Saving Grace while I’m at school! I’m a college student home for the summer, and I'm currently looking for a part-time job. I’m free all day everyday 🤗 I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes. At home, we have a fenced-in yard and one husky, but I prefer caring for pets through home visits so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m also happy to help with small tasks around the house like watering plants, bringing in mail, or keeping things tidy while you’re away. I enjoy being active and outdoors, while also making sure pets stay safe and comfortable in the heat.
About: My name is Jessica and I have been taking care of pets in my neighborhood for over 15 years, since I was in middle school, through college, and now during my adulthood even though I have a full time job. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 2 years, gaining experience on how to care for others' pets there especially in emergency hours. I love animals and I am very passionate about what I do, so I decided to branch out further than just my neighborhood. I know how uneasy it can feel leaving your pets at home while you go to work or on day trips, so let me take that worry away! I will send you updated pictures of your pet if you'd like during their walks and check ins as well as anything else you may request like giving them a treat or belly rubs, because this is what I did for me neighbors to make them feel at ease. I took care of a dog named Rosey for nearly 10 years and learned how to adjust to her needs as she got older while still making things fun for her! I haven't had as much experience with cats as I have dogs but I love them equally and have taken care of many at the veterinary hospital. I work a 2-2-3 schedule 12 hours a day meaning that I am off two days, on two days and off 3 days then vice versa the next week. The 12 hour shift pays off because that means I only work half a month! That leaves so much open time and that is why I have been able to tend to the current pets in my neighborhood so well. I have a Pomeranian named Bobby and he is my baby. I spoil him all the time and make sure that he is well taken car of whether he has to go outside at 2pm or 3am, I am out there! I give treats for rewards within moderation and love on him all the time. Your pets will get lots of love with me and I will make sure that they are well taken care of while still having fun. Bobby is a senior dog so I am always gentle with him because he also has a disability, so I will also be able to manage that if your dog has a disability as well. I walk Bobby twice a day and play with him a lot on the days that I am off because that is what continues the strengthen our bond.
About: I’ve been a go to pet sitter/ house sitter for multiple friends and family ever since i was in highschool. Some of my responsibilities were feeding, walking, and spending quality time with furry friends (my favorite). I am more than willing to help with your furry friends before and/or after my work hours! I am a substitute teacher so my work schedule is 7:45am- 4:00pm Monday- Friday. On Saturdays I have a waitressing job where I either work 10am-4pm or 4pm-11pm. I grew up around animals and honestly they are more than just pets…they are a part of the family. I have always had a sweet spot for animals and I ALWAYS go out of my way to give love to animals I pass everyday at work and in my neighborhood. Right now my roommate has a cat Kitty that I frequently take care of and now she sleeps with me every night instead of her mom lol

“Elizabeth and Nick are great! We immediately felt comfortable with them at our Meet and Greet. Since this was the first time ever boarding our dog, it was very important to us that we felt comfortable trusting our dog in their care. Today, we picked up our dog, Meadow, from her first boarding experience. We can tell she enjoyed it. Also, during her stay with Elizabeth and Nick, we received several photos and even a video of Meadow participating in activities such as while at play with other dogs, during walks/hikes, hanging out with their kids, etc. These updates made us smile knowing that Meadow is happy, is receiving great care, and is interacting with their family as if she were a part of their family. Finding Elizabeth and Nick as pet sitters is a blessing for us! My husband and I are already planning to be repeat customers.”

Katie, thanks for treating my baby like your own!!”

Definitely will be rebooking on our next trip no questions asked!!”
