“Teddy did really well during his time with Dominique. She was very welcoming and kept me updated on how Teddy was adapting to us being gone. I would definitely recommend Dominique to my friends.”
“Obi is right at home with Scott and Heather, they treat him like their own! He acts sad every time he leaves their home, so I know he had an absolute blast. He can’t wait to come back!”
“Sharon and her dog Rodeo were so welcoming and good with our pups. Our dogs are a lot of work - they're young and have a LOT of energy! Sharon kept us informed with how they were settling in and updated us with pictures and videos along the way, which we loved! Her house is the perfect size for her to keep an eye on the dogs she's watching and she has a great backyard space for them to run around and get their energy out. She was also very accommodating when our plans were a little up in the air for pickup time and we ended up getting back to town later than expected. We would not hesitate to leave our dogs with her again and recommend her to others.”
“I cannot recommend Ashley and her girls highly enough- best dog sitters ever!! Arriving for drop off we were greeted with a custom welcome sign which was the sweetest thing ever. They took the such good care of our noodle we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us! Ashley and her girls made sure he felt right at home and I have no doubt he was sooo loved on. . They made sure he got ample play time and walks. They provided us with regular updates and photos. It was such a relief to know our pup was with a family that loved and cared for him like Ashley and her girls do! He will definitely be back!!”
“Valerie is amazing with our fur babies. She is and has always has been our 1st choice for 4+ years. On this recent visit, our elderly fur baby was not feeling well. Valerie was quick to notify us (we were out of the country)...and after a visit to the vet, he returned to Valerie. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby!!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with Sonia and Jeff. My dog came home playful and with lots of energy. He had not lost weight, like has happened in other boarding situations. He has special needs—requires daily eye drops and medication and his eye looked very comfortable when we picked him up. We are very pleased and booking his boarding appointment for our next trip.”
“Meredith was so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Our dogs had their extra special holiday separation anxiety and Meredith was so sweet and caring to them. She really took time to ensure they were settling in as well as possible and kept in contact with us about their behavior.”
“Our Korra loves it here! After a meet and greet, you can tell how much care and thought Sylvia puts in caring for your pet. She took the time to understand our digs temperament and whether it was a good fit for herself and her dogs. Plenty of fenced space for an active dog to tire out too.”
“Sloane was super responsive to my messages both before and during Oliver’s stay. She sent lots of feedback and photos and just made our little guy feel at home. He was reluctant to stay initially but immediately got comfortable after she showed him the toy box. She even supplied a potty pad in her bathroom so he could get up during the night like he does at home. She spent lots of time taking home outside for potty breaks and even a sunrise walk. We would happily have Oliver stay with Sloane again.”
“Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.”
“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Hanna is the BEST!! This is our second time leaving our fur babies with her and she is so good with them...sends us daily pictures, takes them on daily walks, and even handled a stressful situation when we dropped them off with ease. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Sarah was terrific. Very responsive to us and caring and attentive to our sweet dog. This was our first experience with Rover and it was a very positive one. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Denise and Oscar were great with our two dogs! She was communicative and sent great pictures while we were away. My doggies came home tired and happy, and I know they enjoyed their own little vacation! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Wow Greg and Julie are amazing! I always got updates and they know so many training tricks from their background with dogs! 12/10 recommend! Plus my dog got to play with his first cat! Book them now!”
“Evelyn is wonderful. When I drop Harper off and pick her up you can tell that she is being cared for with so much love. They go on activities together and I get daily updates. To me it looks like Harper gets very well integrated into Evelyn’s family and I am so grateful. We will 100% be booking again. Evelyn is our go to!”

“Baylee did a fantastic job with Rio. Rio was experiencing separation anxiety and Baylee’s approach with Rio was perfect. Her detailed updates were helpful. We highly recommend Baylee!!”
“Nina was amazing! She cares for our Binko so well and kept us up to date with how he was doing while we were away. She was very nice and we would ask her to care for Binko again.”
“We’ve used her multiple times, and she’s always been amazing! She takes such great care of our cat and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We always appreciate the regular updates and the adorable pictures she sends, which make us feel connected even from afar. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend her and will definitely continue booking with her in the future!”
“As always Sharon has been a great help to us while we're away. Would book her again when needed and recommend to anyone looking for pet sitting care. She communicates well and asks questions when uncertain or to make sure we're on the same page.”
“Courtney was a fantastic sitter for my 2 cats. She spent lots of time with them playing with them, showing them affection and giving them time to warm up to her. She also brought in mail while we were gone and gave updates that made me feel better about leaving them. It was nice to see them enjoying her attention and treats. I'll definitely request her services again!”
“Lily was terrific and sent me some photos of my kitty PussPuss. She took the time to coax PussPuss out of her hiding places which I am very grateful for knowing how much PussPuss craves attention. I felt confident she was well cared for!”
“Cameron took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. He was kind, gentle, and incredibly thoughtful with them. He spent quality time playing with them and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats are naturally shy, but Cameron was patient and let them warm up at their own pace, it was amazing to see that they had opened up to him within just two days. Beyond being fantastic with pets, Cameron is also a genuinely pleasant person to talk to. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book him again!”
“Kaity did a great job caring for our cats while we were off getting married!! She was super detailed in her questions at our meet and greet which I really appreciate, and provided detailed updates. We'll definitely be using Kaity again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with many dogs ranging from Dachshunds to Pitbulls. I love helping my dogs stay active and comfortable. I would love to care for your pet, small or large, in your time away! I work Monday-Thursday from 8am-5pm and Fridays 8:30-2:30. I am able to walk your dog or drop in from 12pm-1pm on weekdays. Unfortunately, outside of that time frame, I am not available until 5:30pm on a weekday (Mon-Thurs) or from 7am-8am. For drop-ins and walking, I will make sure to check on all of your animals needs and anything else pet related that you would like while I am there. I would love any tips to help care for your animal while I am with them!
“Bri provided us an excellent first experience with both cat sitting and Rover! We appreciated her wealth of knowledge and experience with animals, as well as her great communication. She was reliable, seasoned, and most importantly, highly liked by our fur baby 😊 We will definitely be booking Bri again in the future, and highly recommend others to do the same!”
“Kristen did amazing with our cats. She went out of her way to try to find them when they were hiding to ensure they got their food! She sent tons of pictures and was super respon”
“Azriel always does a fantastic job taking care of our aging cat, which can require a lot, for us. She goes above and beyond and her communication is always on point! Highly recommend!!”

“What a great experience with Martine and her husband. They obviously made Bryce feel welcomed in their home … as by the second day he went straight to her front door and didn’t look back while I was leaving. Also want to “shout out” her willingness to be a bit flexible with the schedule … (I was meeting a friend locally and wanted to be able to enjoy Raleigh for dinner (which was awesome at The Plate). This pet sitting experience enhanced my visit to Raleigh !!!”
“Kerri and her husband are amazing dog sitters. They sent me pictures and videos during the day and I could see that Ollie had a great time. I highly recommend Kerri and will bring Ollie back when I need another doggy day care.”
“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”
“Absolutely amazing caregivers!!! My little angel had a blast with Yamy and Alfonso. They are completely understanding and gentle to my little fur baby. 110% booking again!!”
“Gretchen was absolutely amazing with our dog, Molly. This was our first time using Rover, and naturally we were a little nervous leaving her with someone new, especially because Molly can be anxious and has a few special considerations. Gretchen immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making Molly feel safe and comfortable in her home. We received updates and could tell Molly was being genuinely cared for, not just watched. Gretchen was also very patient with Molly’s quirks and made the entire experience stress-free for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive.”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
“Brandi and John were exceedingly accommodating and helpful! I needed last-minute daycare and I am so grateful. My dog was happy when I picked him up and they sent me pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend them!”
“Bella just love to visit Sonia and Jeff and their dog Abby. She runs to Jeff with tail wagging when I drop her off. It is her second best home and I’m so happy that she is well cared for when I’m at work.”
About: We’re an active, dog-loving couple who miss having a furry friend around - so we put all that energy into the pups we host. We raised a golden retriever for over 12 years, through eight different homes, which taught us how to stay flexible and make any space feel like home for a dog. We’ve also cared for the fur-babies of our friends and family over the years, so medium and large breeds are totally our comfort zone. Carleigh works from home every day, and John is home four days a week, meaning your dog gets tons of attention, playtime, and company. We’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, but we love having short-term four-legged guests to spoil. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because one of us is almost always home, so your dog will get tons of attention, supervision, and company throughout each day. We love taking breaks to go on walks, play outside, or just hang out with a furry friend while we work. Since we’re already active and outside often, adding a dog to our routine is fun and effortless. We treat every dog like a temporary member of the family. Our home is clean, calm, and set up to be dog-friendly, especially for medium and large breeds. We pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any quirks or preferences your dog has. We’re big on communication - you’ll get updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s play time, relaxing, or sticking to their normal schedule, we make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive.
“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, attention, and consistency I provide. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for at one time, allowing for individualized attention, a calm environment, and plenty of affection. In our home, dogs are surrounded by love — including from my daughter, who genuinely enjoys helping care for them and gives them extra cuddles, playtime, and attention. With regular updates, clear communication, and genuine care, every dog is treated like family — never just another booking. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship—rather than leaving dogs alone for long stretches. I also have a small Yorkie at home, which helps keep our daily schedule consistent and structured, from regular potty breaks to walk times and meals. We’re lucky to have a nearby dog park that we walk to daily, giving dogs regular exercise, fresh air, and social enrichment as part of their routine. This established rhythm creates a calm, predictable environment where dogs can settle in quickly, while I remain available to supervise, respond to needs, and provide plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and preferred play or rest times. I treat each home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so pet parents have peace of mind. In both settings, pets are cared for with patience, affection, and individualized attention—never rushed and never treated like just another booking.
“Anitra was so supportive in taking my pup for an early drop off, it was great to see Sydney at the dog park right next to her home while I was studying for a big exam. Highly recommend her!”
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just what I do- it’s who I am. As a proud parent of three wonderful pups, I know every tail wag and each happy bark means the world. I’ll treat your dog just like my own - with plenty of playtime, safe walks, and fun photo updates so you’re always in the loop!! My husband and I both work from home and the pups are very seldom left alone. If you want your pup crated we will follow your instructions. We may run to the store for a few, but we don’t even like to leave our pets alone :) I have an extremely large fenced in back yard for the pups to run and play!! We work from home and we are able to care for your pups all day! We do let animals on the couch and the bed, but will crate if that’s what you prefer.
“Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.”
“Jack had an amazing first day with Lauren! He was worn out from all the fun! Lauren stayed in touch with pictures and let me know how Jack was doing. We just moved to the area and I'm thankful we've found Lauren!”

“Sharon was absolutely fantastic. Excellent communication and plenty of updates, photos, and videos. I couldn't recommend her more. Especially since our request was such so short notice.”
“Krista was an absolute lifesaver for our family! We hired her to walk my mom’s dog after my mom injured herself in a fall. From our very first text exchange, Krista was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive. My mom absolutely loved her, and so did her dog, Millie. Krista was always on time, dependable, and wonderful with Millie. It gave our whole family such peace of mind knowing Millie was in such good hands. We are so grateful we found Krista and can’t wait to use her again. ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was a kid! I have 2 cats of my own and can’t wait to take care of your pets! Pet care is a never ending job! I have a flexible work schedule working as a nurse and have plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I keep a clean home and intend to do the same for yours as well as light house cleaning chores if needed! I am happy to help out where needed!
“Katie did a wonderful job dog walking our Bentley. She played with him tons & was patient with him on his walks. Her notes & photos were great & we can tell she genuinely loves animals & caring for them. We look forward to using Katie again.”
“Kourtney is great with our dog! She updated us about his walk and sent some cute pictures. He is high energy but she is patient with him and understands his puppy personality. So thankful to know she’s around to help out with him.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars! Absolutely incredible sitter, I could tell that she treated my babies like her own. I cannot recommend Brooklynn enough! She took care of my two precious baby girls this past week, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the very beginning, she proved to be super flexible, communicative, and punctual. She provided amazing care for my girls the entire week, ensuring all their routines were followed perfectly. The daily pictures and updates she sent gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It is so clear how much she truly cares about animals.I will definitely be returning to her for future pet sitting and dog walking needs! I highly believe she provides true 5-star service. Thank you, Brooklynn!!❤️”
“Jacob was able to accommodate a somewhat short notice request for walking my dog. He followed instructions, arrived on time each day, walked Opal, and included pictures on her walk cards. Jacob is reliable and trustworthy.”
About: It can be stressful leaving your dog behind, and we understand that first hand. We help alleviate any fears and treat your dog as a member of our family. We have two dogs of our own and know how important it is for us to know they are treated well whether we leave them with someone else or if someone stops in for care. We appreciate the trust our clients have in us and understand the immense responsibility whether your dogs are left with us or if we are granted access to your home. We have a house with large fenced in yard for play time with our little pack.For drop in visits, we make sure your dog feels comfortable in their own environment and gets the love and attention they may be missing during your absence. We love play time, but cuddle time is a favorite around here!
About: I’m a pediatric ICU nurse who brings the same compassion and reliability to pet care. I have baseline experience taking care of my own cats as well as my friends' dogs. I can easily follow specific feeding instructions to keep your pets' diet consistent and potty-walks are a breeze! Due to my own cats medication routine and my nursing career, I know how important medication timing is, if you pet needs any routine medications while I care for them you can be rest assured that it will get done, and get done right! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby with someone else. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I have a flexible nightshift schedule that allows me to have more opportunities to take care of your furbaby. Being a nurse, I only work a few nights a week and can be available in and out of typical working hours to provide your pet care and attention! I will be available almost any day of the week for single or multiple daily check-ins, potty walks, zoomie-releasing play sessions in gated areas or carefully in your home, scheduled feedings and more! I live on the cusp of Knightdale, so commuting to the Triangle is not a problem, even for checking in every few hours. In their home, your pet probably feels most comfortable! I can provide them lots of fun and safe interactions while you are away, making sure they don't feel lonely as they wait for you to come back home! I'll always be sure to stay in the same room with them, you never know what kind of mischief they can get into if left to their own devices unsupervised! Breaking into the treat drawer won't fly under my radar! If your pet needs to stay at my apartment for any reason, I am on the first floor, so no stairs needed if that is a struggle for your pet. I do own two shy but friendly cats, but my apartment has enough space that they can be put in a separate room for a portion of the day while your kiddo and I hang out! We will probably just sit together on my couch while I read or watch TV together, nothing too loud that would cause any stress.
“Brandon has been an incredible dog walker, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is consistently reliable, always on time, and extremely communicative, which gives us great peace of mind. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and we always know our pup is in great hands. Brandon's professionalism and dependability make him truly exceptional. We are so grateful to have found him!”
“Morgan is a gem! She’s always quick to respond, eager to take care of Blue, and a great personality. Looking forward to continuing our bookings with her in the future.”
