“This was my first time using Rover and seperating from my 2 mini goldendoodles for more than a few hours. Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”
“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”
“Victor was so incredibly patient, kind, and considerate. He sent me daily pictures of my dogs which I didn’t expect at all but made me SO happy and was such a comfort!!!! They were clearly having a great time with him and seemed very at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Victor.”
“Andrea was awesome with my dogs. She was very patient and loving and took very good care of my furbabies. I am definitely going to be using her again for sure. I will be recommending her to my friends and family. Thanks Andrea for your awesome service :-)”
“Very pleased with Alex watching my best friend for 2 nights. He immediately put me at ease when I dropped off my pup and I had no worries after that. Gracie was safe and happy. When I get back to Sanford, I will definitely look to board with Alex again. I highly recommend Alex to care for your "rover". Thank You Alex!”

“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.”
“Whitney was so great with both Poshka & Kolki. She sent updates & pictures. I felt very calm leaving both dogs with her from the beginning & I could tell they were very happy & well cared for when I picked them up. Will definitely book with her again!”
“My five month old puppy stayed over the holidays with Amy. His first boarding and I was nervous. Amy met Neville and me at a nearby spot and we all agreed she was a perfect match. My little guy came back happy as could be after a week of play with her bigger dogs. Amy sent photos daily which is definitely appreciated… now I won’t be afraid of leaving him again.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Moose has the best time with Evie and Fritz. They take such great care of him and make him feel right at home. We’re so grateful to have people we trust with Moose and will definitely continue booking with them!”
“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Ashley & PJ. From the very beginning, they were thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring toward Cooper. During uncertain winter road conditions, they were proactive, reassuring, and put safety first without hesitation. Cooper was clearly loved and comfortable, so much so that he came home already hinting at another visit! 😊 It means everything to know your dog is not just looked after, but truly cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and wonderful with dogs.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her 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!”
“Stephanie is by far and away the best dog sitter in Pensacola. She was easy to contact, quick to reply and provided daily pictures of Wilbur. I would highly recommend her and her husband, and their home to anyone needing over night dog sitting.”

About: Hi! I grew up with dogs in the household my entire life and know just how much love, attention and activity are important. I’m here to provide for your pet when you need an extra hand. I’m free for over-night house-siting in Chapel Hill on weekdays and weekends. I have my own small young pup who is a sweetheart and comes along with me. When house-siting on Tue, Wed, Thu, I would be home with your pet from 6PM to 8AM. I charge a lower fee those days. Monday and Friday, I can come provide a potty break at noon. On the weekends, I can be home 70-100% of the day, depending on your needs. I think exercise and stimulation are very important! I personally love going on long walks and driving to the park. But every dog’s needs are different. I’m happy to take any care instructions the pet parent requests.
About: I love taking care of and playing with animals, and am looking to spend time with your critters, whether dog, cat, bird, or beast.

I can come and check in on your loved ones and feed them and play with them. I have my own dog whom I love very much and I enjoy showering any and all animals I meet with attention. I'm most experienced with dogs, but I'm a quick learner and enjoy learning how to take care of all animals. I have very little experience administering medications, but am willing to learn, if shown how or given detailed instructions.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Goldston
“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral. It was such a comfort to know that Lily was in loving, capable hands during such a difficult time. Evelin went above and beyond to make sure Lily was happy and comfortable, sending us updates that gave us peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Evelin, for being there for us and for treating Lily like one of your own. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Jasper was suffering from anxiety after using a dog walker and I decided Doggy daycare would be a better choice. He needed daily activity while I was at work and Katie has given that. Her children love being around dogs and play with Jasper all day. He is tired out by the time I pick him up, perfect because I am too after a long day. I rebound with him over the weekend and all is well. Now when I pickup my car keys he is at the door thinking we are going to Katies every time, hilarious. Katie is great and I will continue using her home to keep my dog safe and stimulated all day. Thanks Katie”
“Ernesto and his family were great with our pup. He came home so tired and it was most certainly because he had a great day of playing during his stay . I appreciate the communication and pictures as well. Drop off and pick up was smooth and easy. We will definitely be bringing Waylon back to visit Ernesto !!”
“Lindsey was amazing with our puppy! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, videos, and what our little girl was up to. I had no doubt throughout the day of what our puppy was doing or if she was having fun! Lindsey treated our puppy like she was her own! We will definitely be using Lindsey in the future! Our Finley girl loved her too!!”
“I would definitely recommend Elizabeth! She was very helpful, polite, respectful prompt with responses and just all around a pleasant person to deal with!5 stars don’t do her enough justice!”

They would love to play with your fur babies. Yes I consider my dogs family, and I would treat you dogs as family also. My husband and I live on 5 acres so your dogs will have lots of room to run and will be watched with love,and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed when you pick them up. I love animals and treat other peoples animals like they're my own. We have a fence in area. It's not attached to our home,but it is well shaded with 3 cement stalls where they can go lay down if they wanted too. I also have long training leash so i can play with them since I don't have a fence yet. I used it with my Rottweiler that passed when I lived in apartment up in Michigan. It works great cause its really long so if I needed to step on it I could to stop them. I Iam looking forward to meeting you and and taking care of your fur babies . I am open 7 days a week.Animals are my passion,snd want to do it full time. I will beable to take them out when ever needed and exercise just like i do with my own. my husband is home all day,so they wouldn't be left alone I have 5 acres we finally have s fence in area so your dog will be safe,and will beable to get plenty of exercise. I also have a long traing leash so I can play with them without putting in the fence in area. I used it for my rottweilers. It works great because it's really long so you can jump on it if they start to take off. Since we have a fence in area now,when they in it ,I will check on them periodically to make sure they are ok. I also will get in the fence wirh them to play with them. I would never leave them out in yhe heat or cold to long. Like i said i treat other animals just like they are my own .

About: Hey there, My name is hannah but most people just call me Harlie. Im a full time stay at home dog mom and trainer. I love dedicating my time to pampering your dogs. Ive been a dog trainer and service dog handler for 10 years and grew up Raising and training hunting dogs. My goal is to treat your pets as i would my own.

Your pet will have a ball staying with me. I will make sure your pet has the most fun and comes back to you tired, happy and well mannered. Drop offs and pickups 7 days a week.

Your pet will get everything they need and want while here. Everything is tailored to each individual dog based on their needs. While I do provide kennels if your pet is nervous or never boarded before id highly suggest bringing their own Kennels. Any damage done to my kennels will encur a fee and no repeat bookings unless the dog comes with anxiety medications upon next booking and you'll be required to provide your own kennels after that.
“This was my dog’s first time staying with anyone other than family that is around him oftern! He had a great time! Maria was great at communicating and made sure i was updated regularly!

He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”

“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed.

I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”
“Nicole was awesome! I needed doggie day care last minute,and she was available, it was such a wonderful experience! She was so flexible and my puppy loved her. He didn’t wanna leave! I will most definitely be using her again! She kept me up to date with pictures and everything I can’t thank you enough!!”
“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
“Lucia was amazing with my two dogs. One of which is super shy but she made her feel so at home that in just two visits had her snuggle with her. Loved all the photos too! Definitely using her again.”

About: Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs, starting with my family pet during my childhood. This experience involved regular walks, administering medication, and cultivating patience with an aging dog until her passing at the age of 18. Subsequently, I acquired my first pet during my college years, teaching me the intricacies of caring for a young puppy. Currently, my wife and I have a leopard gecko as well as two rescue dogs from a local shelter, which over the past two years has instilled in us valuable lessons on managing and navigating the challenges associated with adopting dogs with a history. Additionally, my wife has a longstanding history of caring for pets, consistently taking in various animals in need of attention. She is nearing completion of her degree as a registered veterinary technician (RVT) and currently works full-time at a veterinary hospital in Apex, providing compassionate care to pets. I am currently working part-time. on the days that I work I am up early in the mornings from 5:30 a.m. and work until 12. However, I am about 20 mins away from home and am able to make stops throughout the day if needed to give walks or give potty breaks. I am also able to give walks, potty breaks or feed in the afternoons. I have a fully fenced-in quarter-acre backyard where your pet can freely roam, play, and relax. There are also two playful and affectionate dogs who can keep your pet company and engage in playtime with them. If you prefer, I can easily confine your pet in a spacious crate equipped with toys and a bed. This option can be utilized for training purposes, or it can provide your pet with a comfortable place to rest and unwind.

“My five month old puppy stayed over the holidays with Amy. His first boarding and I was nervous. Amy met Neville and me at a nearby spot and we all agreed she was a perfect match. My little guy came back happy as could be after a week of play with her bigger dogs. Amy sent photos daily which is definitely appreciated… now I won’t be afraid of leaving him again.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Christina was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and flexible with my schedule needs. I felt totally comfortable leaving my fur babies with her. I’d definitely use her again.”
“Moose has the best time with Evie and Fritz. They take such great care of him and make him feel right at home. We’re so grateful to have people we trust with Moose and will definitely continue booking with them!”
“The best! Isabel and her family are so great with dogs! My pup gets happy when she realizes where she is and can't wait to hop out and play. Isabel is so nice and easygoing, my pup feels at home. Isabel has been very understanding of my adjusting to the Rover platform too since is devised not to install the app. I feel confident it's a great place and her photos are frameable! .💚💚💚”
“Alison treated our dog Ginger like her own. I wasn’t sure how Ginger would tolerate being away from home, in an unknown environment, because she can get anxious with change to her daily routine. But Alison was sure to keep me posted daily with pictures and updates. She allowed Ginger to maintain her usual schedule and habits as much as possible (sleeping in a bed, laying on couch, walks, treat time, etc.) Will definitely use Alison and family in the future.”
“Emily and William are true dog lovers, and always take such good care of our Molly. They are my go-to dog sitters because of the care and love and attention I know Molly is receiving. I know she’s in great hands when she’s with them.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her 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!”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
