“Rose and her care is simply the best we have ever jd for our goldens. The home and yard are amazing and welcoming. Rose’s attention to the dogs was great and we will definitely try to rebook when we are back in OBX. Rose jd raised the bar for all other caregivers on River and in the boarding business!”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
“Christianna was so great to my babies. Took them at the last minute and handled unsure/fearful cat with love and care. Will 100% use her services again if I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again Christianna!”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“We were having a hard time finding someone through Rover who was available to help watch Bentley, but Elizabeth was super accommodating and took in Bentley even though she was already watching another dog (she had the owner's approval for Bentley to join). From our first interaction, we knew Bentley was being left in great hands. She's very friendly, attentive, and does her best to maintain your dog's normal schedule. Not to mention Bentley had the best time with her dog Sprinkles, and loved sitting out back with her. We received updates and pictures as requested, and could tell Bentley was having a blast. Anytime we are in the area again, we will definitely be reaching out!”
“Erin was an awesome sitter. She watched our golden retriever for a couple days and had a fantastic setup; Giant fenced in backyard with a pool and other dogs that got along really well. She updated us with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Dog must have had a blast because she was exhausted when we picked her up. Will definitely return if in the OBX area!”
“Would definitely recommend, my dog can be a little complicated and needs a little extra love and these two took care of him great. Definitely will be back and thankful they helped during a holiday!”
“Flannery is phenomenal! Rodi, my one year old Yorkie, wants attention and to play all day long. Flannery kept Rodi occupied with new experiences throughout Flannery’s daytime and evening activities. I’m grateful the dog was not left alone. The biggest compliment I can give Flannery is that when I picked the dog up, I barely got a greeting. This behavior tells me the dog had a wonderful time - without me! I highly recommend Flannery and if I need doggie daycare in the future I will certainly contact her. Thank you Flannery!”
“We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!”
“Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond. We got to see Duke and Scooby swim before we left. We knew they were going to enjoy their stay. Pictures showed they were being themselves doing what they wanted to do.”
“When I was looking for a pet sitter for our senior dog and read the reviews of Theresa and her family I knew she would love our fur baby, Holly, as much as her own family. Thanks to Theresa we were able to enjoy our week in Duck, NC knowing Holly was close by. She sent us daily photos of Holly, which also confirmed our decision to have her stay with Theresa. I can’t thank her enough for patience and love this week! If you’re looking for a pet sitter in OBX who will love your pet as much as you do... I highly recommend Theresa!”
About: I have had my pup since I was 17 but she passed away over the summer. I have a lot of free time and love for animals. i’m currently working part-time so I would be able to play with your pup and take on boarding pretty much anytime, including weekends and holidays. I have a spacious house and yard, so enough room to run around or relax. I can accommodate your pet if needed, crate or not, it’s totally up to you.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

“Lindsey was a great babysitter for our Poppy! She checked in each day and sent pics/videos. I felt at ease knowing our kitty was getting attention and love while we were away. Thank you!”
“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”
About: I've had my own cats for years and can work with any cat personalities. Since I currently have a dog or two in my house, I'm only available for visits at your house for feedings, playtime, etc.
“Another successful repeat booking with Alyssa! She’s always communicative and sends great glamour shots of my girl, Juno. Bonus is that Juno loves her!”
About: Hi, my name is Sarah -- I am 28 and grew up in Virginia with dogs and horses my whole life, and as such, have been sitting for friends' and family's animals (and kids!) since high school. Upon leaving Virginia, I missed having pets of my own, so always love the opportunity to take care of others' fur friends when they need. I work fully remotely, so while I cannot board at my place, I am easily able to stay at yours for in-house pet sitting, as well as come for as many drop-ins, or take your dog(s) out for as many walks as they want, throughout the day! I have experience watching all sizes of dogs, and up to as many as four (large!) dogs of all ages (plus some cats) at once, so I am likely to be comfortable with whatever combination you have in your home! I work fully remotely, so can pretty much make any pet care routine work into my schedule, dependent on your needs for your fur friends! I adapt to any set of needs or circumstances since each dog is different and has their own likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to their parents being away or interacting with new people.
“Mrs. Rose and family took great care of our little Shirley. We feel very confident and comfortable with them. Our kitten was also comfortable. I believe she really enjoyed herself. We even received pictures as to how she was doing. It really put us at ease.”
About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I was also a ranch hand in Colorado which taught me extensive knowledge of taking care of outdoor animals. I'm very comfortable giving medications! I'm currently working full time at a property management company and they are flexible with any of my scheduling needs. I'm available to ahere to strict schedules. I will not be available to house your pet in my home, my cat is not friendly with other animals. I can make as many visits or stay at your home as needed.
“Michael was great! Rocco my pit bloodhound mixis a 51-pound 10 month old puppy with a lot of energy and a traumatic past and he does not warm up to everyone quickly. Michael helped him feel at ease with patience and confidence. He was, friendly, professional, on time, and communicated with me constantly with each visit. I work several times a year in the area. I will always contact him moving forward.”
About: I have cared for dogs, as well as all kinds of other animals my entire life! I have a 3 year old Pitt mix named Sophie who is absolutely precious and LOVES other dogs. I work in the husbandry department at the aquarium so I am comfortable with all animals including fish, reptiles, spiders, etc. ❤️ I currently work full time, with Fridays and Saturdays off. I am available after 5pm Sunday-Thursday with full availability on my days off. I am flexible with last minute requests as well I will care for your pups in your home by doing absolutely anything you request. I can crate dogs, or do anything that the owner would like! My dog is very spoiled and gets the best care possible.
“Sydney was fantastic in caring our cat, Dexi, while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and important information. You could tell she truly cares for the animals in her care!”
“Lauren is amazing! She took care of our two cats - Raja & Carmela - and house sat for a week while we were on a trip. She provided thorough updates throughout the day, and we are so grateful for the love and care she provided to our two cats. Thank You so much Lauren!”
About: I have experience being a dog nanny that included , giving medication, different dietary needs, scheduled walks, potty training, and giving as much attention needed to 11 dogs. I’m looking into going to college to become a vet tech and need some extra money and help getting there. I’m currently unemployed and looking into going to community college so I’ll have lots of spare times to play with your pups or cats ! I will give my undivided attention to your animals and make sure that they are in the safest environment. I will work around the owner’s schedule too if needed.
About: Hi, I’m Yanna! Most of my pet care experience has been with dogs, but I’m also comfortable caring for cats and following their normal routines. As a local babysitter and house sitter, I’m already used to being trusted in people’s homes and paying close attention to the details families leave for me. I’ve cared for pets in homes with cats before, including a family with three cats, and I’m also booked for a four-day house sit with two cats. I’ll also be helping a neighbor with cat feeding/check-ins. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats space when they need it. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send updates so you know how they’re doing.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Harbinger
“So many wonderful things to say about this place and host. This was our first time using rover and I wish I had discovered Rose sooner! The facilities were impressive and I knew immediately Jolene was going to have a fun and safe experience. Rose is extremely professional and great to work with. I will not need to look further when booking in the future :)”
“Liz was fabulous and understanding of my dog's anxiety and did well with calming and reassuring him. He settled in and got lots of love! And her Sprinkles is just the sweetest! I look forward to being able to use her again when I'm in town! Thank you again so much Liz! Hugs and tail wags from both me and Echo!”
About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
“Erin was amazing. She took photos of Maggie while she stayed for a day. Maggie was clearly happy and enjoying herself. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet Maggie with her and would recommend Erin to others.”
“Christianna is wonderful! They are great with Copper, and she is usually always available late notice! I always receive pictures during the stay, and updates on food and potty breaks. Copper is always very excited when we arrive at Christianna's house, and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I would definitely recommend Christianna!!”
“Mindy was amazing with our baby! She was able to work with us on a last minute request and Taco was so comfortable and happy staying with her. We received photos and videos while we were away from him which made being away much easier, knowing he was happy and getting lots of cuddles 💕”
“Taylor was fantastic. She is very flexible with her time and very patient. She arrived on time and did a great job with my high-energy Siberian Husky. I will definitely re-book her.”

I have volunteer at the local SPCA. In 2019, I adopted my dog, Gus. With Gus, I learned patience from having adopted a rescue. I continually work to make sure his life is better everyday, and will ensure I do the same for your fur baby. I regularily help dog sit for families & friends and would love to extend to others in the area. I work from home so can spend plenty of quality, 1:1 time with your dog. I am flexbile with walk & potty schedules. Available any day of the week. I live in a dog friendly apartment. There are multiple large grass areas in the complex that are great for potty breaks. The apartment is away from the main road. I have no roommates so your dog will have plenty of space to spread out all toys & beds.

About: Hi 🐾 My name is Juliana, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I graduated from NC State with a degree in Animal Science, where I built a solid foundation in animal health, behavior, and welfare. I also spent two years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting. During that time, I assisted with handling all different kinds of breeds, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable, especially in stressful situations. This taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly, and provide attentive, compassionate care to each unique animals needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. You can feel confident knowing your pet will receive safe, loving, and personalized care while you’re away, along with plenty of updates and peace of mind for you as I would want for my own pet! Right now, I’m in a transition period before shipping out for the Air Force, and I’d love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, trust, and environment of every pet that I care for, whether they are in my own home or in the client's home. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I take the time to thoroughly assess the environment and identify any potential hazards or risks. I make sure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable space to rest. Overall, my approach to caring for pets is centered on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness.
About: Loved dogs my whole life and got my first one at age 24- five years ago, enjoy taking my dog to the beach and on walks near water. He is pretty high energy so I’m very accustomed to dogs that need constant stimulation and love :) I work remotely 8-5 Monday thru Friday but have lunch breaks and other breaks throughout the day to help let out or walk pets nearby or stay overnight when needed. I have weekend availability as well. I have a fenced backyard and typically walk my dog twice a day and let him run on beach in evenings while playing fetch in the waves. I’ve watched dogs aged 7 weeks old to 15 years old and comfortable with all ages in between :)
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!
About: I have cared for dogs, as well as all kinds of other animals my entire life! I have a 3 year old Pitt mix named Sophie who is absolutely precious and LOVES other dogs. I work in the husbandry department at the aquarium so I am comfortable with all animals including fish, reptiles, spiders, etc. ❤️ I currently work full time, with Fridays and Saturdays off. I am available after 5pm Sunday-Thursday with full availability on my days off. I am flexible with last minute requests as well I will care for your pups in your home by doing absolutely anything you request. I can crate dogs, or do anything that the owner would like! My dog is very spoiled and gets the best care possible.
“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”
About: Hi there! I have experience with pet-sitting a variety of animals that range from lizards to frogs, cats, fish, and dogs! I have been in situations of pet-sitting young and older dogs and am comfortable adapting to what they need. I believe animals bring us joy and it’s a gift to have them in our life so I am very loving! Please feel free to reach out and let me know what works for you as I am very flexible this school year. Have a wonderful day!! Thank you so much! Working part-time (12-5) and studying so I have a lot flexibility! Feel free to reach out and let me know what dates and times work for you! I make sure the animals and I get along together first and know all of their quirks. I respect whatever the animal needs and comfort them! Also love cuddling and giving them treats!

“We were having a hard time finding someone through Rover who was available to help watch Bentley, but Elizabeth was super accommodating and took in Bentley even though she was already watching another dog (she had the owner's approval for Bentley to join). From our first interaction, we knew Bentley was being left in great hands. She's very friendly, attentive, and does her best to maintain your dog's normal schedule. Not to mention Bentley had the best time with her dog Sprinkles, and loved sitting out back with her. We received updates and pictures as requested, and could tell Bentley was having a blast. Anytime we are in the area again, we will definitely be reaching out!”
“Erin was an awesome sitter. She watched our golden retriever for a couple days and had a fantastic setup; Giant fenced in backyard with a pool and other dogs that got along really well. She updated us with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Dog must have had a blast because she was exhausted when we picked her up. Will definitely return if in the OBX area!”
“Would definitely recommend, my dog can be a little complicated and needs a little extra love and these two took care of him great. Definitely will be back and thankful they helped during a holiday!”
“Flannery is phenomenal! Rodi, my one year old Yorkie, wants attention and to play all day long. Flannery kept Rodi occupied with new experiences throughout Flannery’s daytime and evening activities. I’m grateful the dog was not left alone. The biggest compliment I can give Flannery is that when I picked the dog up, I barely got a greeting. This behavior tells me the dog had a wonderful time - without me! I highly recommend Flannery and if I need doggie daycare in the future I will certainly contact her. Thank you Flannery!”
“Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond. We got to see Duke and Scooby swim before we left. We knew they were going to enjoy their stay. Pictures showed they were being themselves doing what they wanted to do.”
“When I was looking for a pet sitter for our senior dog and read the reviews of Theresa and her family I knew she would love our fur baby, Holly, as much as her own family. Thanks to Theresa we were able to enjoy our week in Duck, NC knowing Holly was close by. She sent us daily photos of Holly, which also confirmed our decision to have her stay with Theresa. I can’t thank her enough for patience and love this week! If you’re looking for a pet sitter in OBX who will love your pet as much as you do... I highly recommend Theresa!”
About: I have had my pup since I was 17 but she passed away over the summer. I have a lot of free time and love for animals. i’m currently working part-time so I would be able to play with your pup and take on boarding pretty much anytime, including weekends and holidays. I have a spacious house and yard, so enough room to run around or relax. I can accommodate your pet if needed, crate or not, it’s totally up to you.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
About: Your animals will love coming back to me, I’ve grown up with dogs multiple from every breed cocker spaniel, dachshund, labs you name it I’ve had one and although we aren’t in a spot to have one of our own we love the idea of having there company around because they are a mans best friend.

Full time military, work close to home very friendly with animals. Fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable at home I’ll have full access throughout day, cozy warm setting, very laid back.

About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I have experience with rescues that have special needs, puppies, as well as senior care. I’m happy to specialize each experience for max comfort for your pup. I have a remote job and am flexible with scheduling around your pups needs. There are times when I am unavailable but I will always have any walks, visits or day cares scheduled accordingly . I have a corgi mix of my own that goes on walks and potty breaks at a regular schedule. I have a fenced yard and a friendly corgi mix to keep any pups company. I do not have a crate but if provide one I have no problem if that is better for your pup.
