“Ms. Gail was simply amazing! This was my first time leaving Charlie in the care of someone else while I was away for the weekend. Ms. Gail made the entire experience comforting. I received updates, check ins, and pictures. Ms. Gail was responsive which put my nerves at ease. A huge thank you for keeping Charlie one happy pup while I was gone!!”

“Shekenia Has taken good care of Luna. Luna seemed so happy while she was with her. Shekenia Kept me up to date with her and I didn’t have to worry. Diffidently will use her again.”

“Ashley and family were great! If I could give her 10 stars I would. We planned a weekend in Rocky Mount and booked boarding for our dog at a local boarding place. We dropped her off and before we left they let us know she was too anxious and would not be able to tolerate the whole weekend there. We tried one other boarding facility and they had a similar set up so I knew she wouldn't be able to stay there either. I found Ashley on rover and messaged her about booking for the weekend last minute. Our dog is very anxious around other dogs which becomes aggression because she gets so worked up. Ashley was able to keep her for the weekend and keep her separated from their other dogs in the home. I was very relieved to know she was safe and taken care and that the other dogs in the home were safe too. When we arrive Harley went right in with them and was happy when we picked her up! They were very understanding and accommodated us so we did not have to cancel our trip last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will definitely be booking with Ashley any time we are in the area.”

“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Reading Randi's bio alone was enough for me to feel comfortable reaching out and booking her for my Luna. Her communication and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I always had frequent updates and photos. I will 100% be boarding my Luna with her in the future. My Luna also rated her 5 paws 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾.”

“Mitzi was amazing with our dogs! She sent lots of pictures and updates daily and our dogs. They warned right up to her family and her kids are great with dogs, too. Will definitely be using her services again.”

“Kelli and her family were great for my almost 11 yr old pupper. She was very communicative and sent pics throughout the time. Was very happy with the entire process. Was able to plan a pre visit meet and greet, and she seemed to have spoiled him a bit, which i appreciate it greatly! Will def contact Kelli again in the future! Thanks again!”

“Mafe was very easy to work with, responsive, and caring. Our Kitty was very happy with her and her family, and she sent us pictures of him daily. We would happily use her services again.”


“She listened to the needs of our dog. Followed instructions we gave her for a dog. Our dog was happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again. Definitely recommend to my friends or family”

“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”

“Milika was very nice. She took good care of my 4 month old golden doodle. She took him out for walks and sent me several pictures / videos while I was away. I definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet environment and gentle attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your cat can relax and receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Having volunteered with animal shelters and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a low-stress environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!

“Cheryl is an excellent house sitter. Our dog, Baxter, really likes her and so do we! She sent us pictures with comments several times a day. Cheryl not only fed Baxter but she administered medication. Baxter was well cared for and this put our minds at ease while we traveled. She has been booked for a return visit! I simply cannot enough about her outstanding qualities.”
About: I have two cats of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for my cats has given me hands-on experience with daily feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of attention. What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I bring to every animal I look after. I’m attentive to details, from following specific feeding instructions to recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in pets. I also know how to build trust with shy or anxious animals, which helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when needed. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust my availability to match your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, feeding, walks, or playtime, I can reliably be there at the times you prefer. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I make their comfort and safety my top priorities. When caring for cats in your home, I follow feeding schedules exactly, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes clean. I’m careful to ensure doors and windows stay secure, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. I also spend quality time with each cat, whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply providing a quiet presence so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Cierra went above and beyond and was flexible to changes that occurred with new animals in the home. She was reliable, a good communicator and the animals seemed to really like her via the photos. We will definitely have Cierra back pet sitting again.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always loved animals. I’ve taken care of animals ever since i was 7 yrs old, of course I had help, but as I got older I did it on my own.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime. They were potty trained when they were puppies. One of them was trained to go to the diaper, but then they were both trained to ask to go potty outside by standing by the door and bark. They were spoiled with love, food, and a bunch of fun. If they needed medication, we would administer it to them. When one of my dogs became old and couldn’t jump onto or from the bed, we got him a small stair so he could get onto his favorite spot on the bed. Sometimes he would ask to potty in the middle of the night and I would get up to take him out in the back yard so he could relieve himself. I currently work full time but my wife currently stays home all day. Your pet would be taken care of in the morning before heading to work and then my wife would take care of your pet during the rest of the day. Then I could take care of them in the afternoon. We can do boarding all week long. I have a fenced back yard where your pet can run around. There are no plants that are harmful to them. I have two cats that can keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if required or requested.

“After three day camps we’re beyond happy with the level of care and fun that Mitzi has provided to our rescue Maltese, Winnie. Our goal was to provide a fun, safe, and positive socializing experience for Winnie, who is still very much coming into her own after being rescued from a puppy mill just five months ago. From pictures and videos, to text messages checking in with us throughout the day, we’ve come to realize how fortunate we were to discover Mitzi’s day care, she really dotes on all of the dogs and it’s such a comforting feeling knowing your dog is in great hands. We highly recommend Mitzi and hope others with shy/introverted dogs are equally fortunate to have their dogs spend time playing the day away in their giant back yard with friends of all sizes.”

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home.

My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

“Cheryl is 10+/10. She is accepting and the BEST in caring for my deaf sweet, sometimes determined Jack Russell mix who has her own mind. We were truly blessed when Cheryl came into our lives.”

About: I have had animals in my household all of my life! I love dogs, and have two of my own. I consider them to be my best friends, and I would love to treat your pet as my own!

About: I have always had a passion for animals. As an adolescent I volunteered at the local animal shelter, and as I became old enough I started caring for friends, and family friend’s pets. I provide all the love, care, and attention that your furry friend needs, and wants! All my work and time is dedicated towards pet sitting for the foreseeable future. My availability is WIDE open.

I have worked with 1 dog, to 7 dogs at a time.. whether that be letting them out directly into a yard or walking them. I am very attentive of their behavior and needs.

About: Hey! I’m Mars, your dog’s new favorite guy 🐶😎 I’m a fun, reliable, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping their routine on track, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how hard it is to be away from your dog, so I send photo and video updates to keep you smiling and worry-free.

And provide any special toys that your dog enjoys playing with that will make his/her stay enjoyable.
“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”

“Ms. Gail was simply amazing! This was my first time leaving Charlie in the care of someone else while I was away for the weekend. Ms. Gail made the entire experience comforting. I received updates, check ins, and pictures. Ms. Gail was responsive which put my nerves at ease. A huge thank you for keeping Charlie one happy pup while I was gone!!”

“Ashley and family were great! If I could give her 10 stars I would. We planned a weekend in Rocky Mount and booked boarding for our dog at a local boarding place. We dropped her off and before we left they let us know she was too anxious and would not be able to tolerate the whole weekend there. We tried one other boarding facility and they had a similar set up so I knew she wouldn't be able to stay there either. I found Ashley on rover and messaged her about booking for the weekend last minute. Our dog is very anxious around other dogs which becomes aggression because she gets so worked up. Ashley was able to keep her for the weekend and keep her separated from their other dogs in the home. I was very relieved to know she was safe and taken care and that the other dogs in the home were safe too. When we arrive Harley went right in with them and was happy when we picked her up! They were very understanding and accommodated us so we did not have to cancel our trip last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will definitely be booking with Ashley any time we are in the area.”

“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Reading Randi's bio alone was enough for me to feel comfortable reaching out and booking her for my Luna. Her communication and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I always had frequent updates and photos. I will 100% be boarding my Luna with her in the future. My Luna also rated her 5 paws 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾.”

“Kelli and her family were great for my almost 11 yr old pupper. She was very communicative and sent pics throughout the time. Was very happy with the entire process. Was able to plan a pre visit meet and greet, and she seemed to have spoiled him a bit, which i appreciate it greatly! Will def contact Kelli again in the future! Thanks again!”

“Mafe was very easy to work with, responsive, and caring. Our Kitty was very happy with her and her family, and she sent us pictures of him daily. We would happily use her services again.”


“She listened to the needs of our dog. Followed instructions we gave her for a dog. Our dog was happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again. Definitely recommend to my friends or family”

“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”

“Milika was very nice. She took good care of my 4 month old golden doodle. She took him out for walks and sent me several pictures / videos while I was away. I definitely recommend her.”

“First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!”


“My dog (Ruxin) really enjoyed his stay with Ashley and her furbabies. She sent pictures, updates, and took care of anything Ruxin needed while I was gone for the holidays. She even ran out to get him food when he unexpectedly ran out. He was exhausted when I got him back and misses his new friends!”

“Matt and his family were amazing with my energetic chocolate lab! I got lots of pics/updates, and Matt was super accommodating about drop off and pick up. I definitely recommend and will use again when available.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime. They were potty trained when they were puppies. One of them was trained to go to the diaper, but then they were both trained to ask to go potty outside by standing by the door and bark. They were spoiled with love, food, and a bunch of fun. If they needed medication, we would administer it to them. When one of my dogs became old and couldn’t jump onto or from the bed, we got him a small stair so he could get onto his favorite spot on the bed. Sometimes he would ask to potty in the middle of the night and I would get up to take him out in the back yard so he could relieve himself. I currently work full time but my wife currently stays home all day. Your pet would be taken care of in the morning before heading to work and then my wife would take care of your pet during the rest of the day. Then I could take care of them in the afternoon. We can do boarding all week long. I have a fenced back yard where your pet can run around. There are no plants that are harmful to them. I have two cats that can keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if required or requested.
“I have a problem pup that I didn’t initially know was going to be a problem. Paige did a wonderful job working with my skittish female shepherd, keep her safe and loved until I got back home! She even checked up on my chickens for me while I was gone! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such kind and attentive hands. I really appreciate the time, patience, and love you showed!!! I will be rebooking! Thanks again😊😊😊💕”
