“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! ❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My girl, Bailey, had the best time staying with Lindy. I know this because Lindy constantly kept me updated with pictures, and messages, about how she was doing. I saw pictures of her running, and playing, and of her settled inside resting. I never had one minute of worry that Bailey was missing me, or was unhappy. This was our first time staying with Lindy, but I definitely know it will not be our last. Thank you for such great care, Lindy!”
“Our experience with Ashley&family taking care of Bruno, was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the moment Bruno arrived, we felt completely at ease. She was truly amazing with him, treating him like her own. He was clearly given tons of love, attention, and exercise during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and full of great energy, which is the best sign a dog owner can ask for! Finally, we have to emphasize her extreme flexibility regarding our check-out time. Our travel plans had an unexpected delay, and Ashley was incredibly accommodating and understanding, making a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for her willingness to work with our schedule. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for Bruno again!”
“Victor was fabulous. He kept us updated throughout our stay in the Pinehurst area with pictures and messages to let us know our little Shih Tzu was doing okay. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely reach out to him when we return to the area.”
“Crystal kept my dog for a 7-day overnight stay. She was easy to work with. My dog was calm and relaxed when I picked him up after his stay. I believe he was well taken care of by Crystal and her family.”
“Stephanie provided a safe and loving home for our little Alfredo. Her dog Penny was super friendly to our pup and Stephanie made sure he felt right at home! We will definitely use her again!”
“Alex was amazing with Miller and Moose! They came back super tired and well taken care of. Alex and his family sent great updates of them and I can tell they were treated as a member of their family :) Will continue to use Alex when he and his family are available!”
“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.”
“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”
“Molly was so wonderful with our dog. She sent us pictures and updates, took her for walks, and kept her cozy for our week away. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”

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.”

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.

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 .

“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!”

My dogs enjoyed being around other dogs and are very friendly. I would enjoy getting to know you and your Pet. I would provide a welcoming and fun environment during their stay.
“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.”
“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.”
“I am in town for a wedding, and my dog was too stressed to stay in the hotel while I was gone. Desiree was a life saver by taking my dog at the last minute for doggy daycare! I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing my dog was having fun with other people and other dogs, and I picked up a happy and tired pup 😀 If I ever find myself back in the area, I would 100% ask Desiree to watch my dog again. Thanks!!!”
“Jennifer and her fur babies were very welcoming. My little Lupe was a little shy initially but Jennifer helped her feel right at home. This is the first time that Lupe stays somewhere without her brother and I think I was more stressed about it than she was. Jennifer sent me pictures of Lulu having a good time and it immediately calmed me down. Thank you Jennifer!”

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: 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.

I saw pictures of her running, and playing, and of her settled inside resting. I never had one minute of worry that Bailey was missing me, or was unhappy. This was our first time staying with Lindy, but I definitely know it will not be our last. Thank you for such great care, Lindy!”
“Alex was amazing with Miller and Moose! They came back super tired and well taken care of. Alex and his family sent great updates of them and I can tell they were treated as a member of their family :) Will continue to use Alex when he and his family are available!”
“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.”
“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”
“Molly was so wonderful with our dog. She sent us pictures and updates, took her for walks, and kept her cozy for our week away. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“In all my years of moving around and needing to trust a new Rover city in each town, Ashley and her family were hands down THE BEST, most compassionate and caring I have come across. We are returning upon every chance we can!!!”
“Isabel was great to work with. She came in so clutch, after our original sitter got sick, and we needed to scramble to find someone in a day. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened - as Isabel did a wonderful job. She was fast to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet right away. She lives in a rural area, and has a fenced in backyard - which is ideal for dogs like Brady to roam free and have fun. She was also great about sending pictures and updates - without me having to ask, which I really appreciated. Brady seemed to have a wonderful time, and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Ernesto is the best! He has watched out 2 dogs before and this time we had an emergency and he was so helpful. Our dogs love visiting him and he shows them great care!”
“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!”
“Maria was very loving and so sweet with my 2 dogs. She sent videos and pictures of them every day while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to board their dogs.”
