“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Evelin was so sweet and very responsive. It’s always stressful leaving our two big energetic dogs with new people, but she took them with open arms! I was able to go on vacation stress free knowing they were in good hands! She provided picture updates and they came back to me cleaner than I left them! Highly recommend her!”
“Lindy helped us out on a bind when our normal sitter backed out on us last minute. She took great care of our dog and even sent us pictures throughout the trip. Her family treated Petunia like one of their own. We look forward to having Petunia stay again the next time.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. Alex and his 2 sons were great with my dogs. Alex and his 2 dogs have a calm presence which is great for my excitable dogs. I received many consistent texts, photos and videos to let me know how they were doing. Alex was flexible with the drop off and pick up which I really appreciated.”
“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.”
“She is awesome! When our trip got extended by delayed planes home, she was more than accommodating with us. We had near daily photo updates of our doggy, and she was very communicative and informative and flexible. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy babysitter!”
“Molly was fantastic! She took great care of our needy rescue dog, was communicative, and followed our many requests. Molly has a peaceful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kimmi is great! She was really easy to communicate with and flexible. We did a meet & greet in which my dog wasn't totally comfortable with her dogs (this occasionally happens with our dog - not Kimmi's fault!), but Kimmi was not fazed, still had a space for our dog to stay and everything ended up going well. Totally recommended!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Kordula and her family! She was very flexible with our changing travel plans due to weather and sent daily photos and updates. Thank you!”
“Ernesto clearly has an affinity for dogs. I was very impressed by his professionalism, timeliness, clear communication, and friendly interactions. I am completely satisfied and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”
“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 & 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!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my dog and was a delightful person to work with. She is flexible in case something comes up like a delayed flight or last minute changes in plans. She sent me pictures and texts letting me know my labradoodle was healthy and happy. I felt comfortable leaving my pet in her care and highly recommend her boarding services. Thank you Sarah!”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“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.”
“Alison was great! She sent a lot of updates with pictures and Jasper seemed very cozy ☺️ Jasper only stayed one night this time but we will definitely come back again when we need doggy boarding”

“Taylor is amazing and I highly recommend her! She took care of my little guy while I was gone and did an absolutely stellar job. He usually hides from anyone who isn’t me, but he was immediately comfortable with Taylor. I would give her more stars if I could! Thank you, Taylor! 😊”
“Evelyn did daily drop-ins for my two 13 y/o cats over Christmas week. It was so nice to get pictures everyday and know that the cats were doing well. Coming home to happy cats was so great! I would definitely book her again.”

“🦁 Wonderful 🦁 I have a Lilo and a Stitch that needed a last minute sitter to check in on them and make sure they were ok and keep them company. The DAY I had to leave she came to meet them and watch over my ( House Lions ). I came home to safe and still fat and happy cats.”
“William was great. He dropped in on my 3 dogs, sent pics, and updates during the weekend. I felt very comfortable that my dogs were being looked after by him. I would definitely recommend William and will be contacting him for future drop ins.”

About: I have loved and taken care of animals my entire life! We live on a beautiful farm with premium, safe, fenced-in yard spaces for dogs to have individual or group play. There are also clean and safe stalls for them to have their own individual or combined enclosed spaces!

If a stall is to be used, it can be theirs any time of day or night, the owner may decide what schedule they want their pet to have.
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care Jesse provided for my pets! From the moment I met her, her kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion for animals shone through. She took amazing care of my four cats and my dwarf rabbit, ensuring they were loved and well looked after during my vacation. Jesse went above and beyond by also looking after my home. She watered my plants, collected the mail, and made sure to clean up after the kitties, which was such a relief for me. Communication was a breeze; she responded promptly to all my messages and kept me updated with adorable photos of my pets, which really eased my mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking her for all my future pet-sitting needs. She is a true gem!”
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 grew up on a farm around chickens, horses, dogs, and pigs, and I've always had a connection with animals and find their presence comforting. 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.
“Kalah did a stellar job with Piper so can be dog aggressive at times. This was our first time with anyone helping us out. She made it such a breeze. Even helped with her special diet. The pictures were so reassuring. Will be calling on her again!!”
“Amber was so friendly and timely, and provided tons of photos and videos while I was gone! She handled a mishap with my building locks very professionally and I’m looking forward to having her watch my cat again!”
About: I’m a passionate pet sitter with professional training in Pet CPR/First Aid and Fear-Free certification, ensuring your pets are safe and stress-free. With experience caring for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and small rodents, I understand their needs and behaviors. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments, like a special Sphynx cat that needed extra attention and basic grooming. I’m also experienced in helping pets with fear and anxiety, including breeds like Bullies, and Labs who are afraid of thunderstorms. Trust in me to provide loving, attentive care for your pets, keeping them happy, healthy, and content. I start my mornings with yoga and breakfast drop ins, spend my afternoons with nail clients and training with my service dog, and end my days providing dinner drop ins and overnight stays. I value this calm, intentional routine because it allows me to provide loving, attentive care for my furry clients, and my own fur babes while continuing to grow personally and professionally. In you and your pet's home, I focus on following the guidelines you leave and respecting client confidentiality. These are my top priorities. I strive to keep routines consistent to minimize stress for your pets. This includes help with tasks like taking in the mail, and watering plants.

“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.”
“Sarah was terrific! She sent pics and updates. Very gracious when I was late few times. I’m visiting NC from New England and took me longer than expected to get back. I would definitely recommend her and use her services when I’m back here!”

About: My family always had dogs growing up, including heelers, chihuahuas and Shi tzu’s! I now have 2 of my own, a 1 year old pitty mix named Charlie and a 5 month old golden named Marley. I make my own schedule so I have plenty of time for all pet related task! I often dog sit and do drop in visits for family and friends. I’m currently working part time, making my own schedule so I have lots of free time. Most of my day revolves around caring for my own dogs. They’re up early for breakfast, from there they enjoy walks and playing in the dog park. My 1 year old pitty mix Charlie LOVES naps after playing, so we do have a good bit of down time throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced in yard, my apartment complex offers a 24/7 dog park that my dogs enjoy. I also have a large crate if that’s something that you would like for your pet. My girls enjoy a day filled with treats, walks, toys and play time.
“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!!”
“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.”
“Angela did a wonderful job looking after my very anxious, older dog - and sent me pics showing her settled in and calm on a day when I was quite concerned about her. I have already booked a 7 day boarding with her in June.”
“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”

“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. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! 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.”
About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.

About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of my own ever since I was a kid. I love animals and having any excuse to bond with them.

I am currently focusing on starting my real estate career so my availability may fluctuate but stay mainly consistent throughout my weekly routine. I will be mostly available during late morning to later hours I do not offer pet care in my own hone. I provide care for pets at client homes only. I believe pets should be surrounded in an environment they’re used to and familiar with.

We did a meet & greet in which my dog wasn't totally comfortable with her dogs (this occasionally happens with our dog - not Kimmi's fault!), but Kimmi was not fazed, still had a space for our dog to stay and everything ended up going well. Totally recommended!”
“Ernesto clearly has an affinity for dogs. I was very impressed by his professionalism, timeliness, clear communication, and friendly interactions. I am completely satisfied and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”
“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 & 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!”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“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.”
“Alison was great! She sent a lot of updates with pictures and Jasper seemed very cozy ☺️ Jasper only stayed one night this time but we will definitely come back again when we need doggy boarding”
“Jackie was so amazing!! She sent so many photos of our pups and even brushed them, gave them a bath and sent them home with some treats and bandanas. She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We will 100% be booking with her again!!”
“Jess is phenomenal! Excellent and quick communication for a last minute booking. She took such great care of my senior dog and even sent me pictures during the stay. Bonnie wasn’t sure she wanted to leave 😆😅 Thank you again, Jess!”
“As always, we love having our dog stay there! She clearly has a blast every time, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s safe and well cared for.”
“Angel and Yara are beyond wonderful. My dog is so happy with them and he loves the whole family there. Their daughter is the sweetest little girl and my dog loves her too. I missed my dog but never worried about him while we were gone. Thank you sooo much.”
“This was our first time letting Isabel take care of our bloodhound and it was an amazing experience. We were able to get away for a short vacation and not worry about our dog at all - knowing he was also having a great time playing with Isabel's family and her dogs.”
“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.”
