“Stephanie and her family always treat Jordi like one of their own! We never worry for a second leaving our sweet pup with their family. We feel so lucky to have found them and to have them to love on our Jordi whenever we are away!”
“Ashely was very sweet and with my dog. She send us pictures everyday and give up updates about how our dog is doing. My dog seemed very happy with her and her family. We will definitely go back to her again if we go travel.”
“Alison was awesome with our high energy Australian Shepherd puppy. We needed to go out of town last minute where she was able to watch our Josie. We loved the updates and pictures. I would definitely use Alison again.”
“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!”
“Kelly was flexible when I was late. She met Shinji couple times before his stay which helped a lot since he is shy (only at the beginning) . I will definitely ask for Kelly help again in the future.”
“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.”
“Kordula was amazing! She took such great care of our dog during the entire stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like family. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Kordula and will definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“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!”
“Lesley and her family took such amazing care of our dog, Banjo. Banjo was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt at home with them. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell that she and her family genuinely love animals and treat them like part of their own family. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Yaryna provided excellent and loving care for my dog! My dog is older and requires a bit of special care, but Yaryna handled all of his needs willingly and capably. Yaryna went above and beyond in communicating how he was doing and sharing pictures. I am sure that he was in the best of hands, and I am so grateful for the high level of care that she provided.”
“Emily and William took great care of Mia. She had regular walks, playtime and photos shared. When our trip got delayed , they gladly extended her stay. We would definitely have them take care of Mia during our future trips”
“Erica took amazing care of our pup for six nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. Our dog was absolutely spoiled with attention and care. We are so grateful to Erica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Andrea was super flexible and accommodating. It was my first time leaving my pup for 2 weeks, but I knew he was in good hands. Andrea’s house and yard is all set up for dogs. My pup had a blast with the other dogs she was hosting. I actually got my travel dates mixed up and had to pick up my dog a day late. Then my flight was delayed and she accommodated that too. She is the best!”
“My pup came back to me SO happy and so calm, he had the absolute best time. He can be a pretty anxious guy, so I was extremely impressed. He got lots of time with other pups and time running around outside, which was wonderful. Could not recommend more!!!”
“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!!!”
“As always, we will gladly drive across the triangle just to make sure my pups are in the best hands when we’re away. Thanks again Tim and Alison for giving ash and lucy a warm and affectionate home during our honeymoon! And for all the pics, they make our day every time!”

“Chloe was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable about animals and I had no concerns about leaving my babies in her care. She is detailed oriented and sent me great pictures and notes letting me know how everyone was doing. Will definitely be using her for all of our trips away!”
“Hillary did a wonderful job with our two kitties while we were away! She is a great communicator, and our cats seemed very comfortable with her - and they are usually quite shy. Highly recommend!”
About: Lifelong cat lover and cat mom here—fluent in both sassy side-eyes and sweet cuddle requests. I’ve grown up with cats and have experience caring for both independent, spicy personalities and affectionate lap kitties. I love getting to know each cat’s unique vibe and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m also an active person who enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and running, so I bring a calm but energetic presence to pet care—happy to keep up with playful pets or simply provide steady, attentive company. As an engineer, I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and organized, and I take your pet’s care seriously while still making sure they get plenty of affection and attention.
“Annalia is absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking her to watch Pickle, and she is officially our go-to sitter. She was punctual every single day and sent great photo updates that put my mind at ease. She is friendly, communicative, and truly went above and beyond—even cleaning up a sickness mess and keeping me informed immediately. Pickle was happy and relaxed when I got home. I can’t recommend Annalia enough!”
“Lexi took amazing care of my cats while I was away, she did everything I asked of her and more!! Not just that, but my cats absolutely loved her!! One of my cats is very shy but he took to Lexi and loved her immediately!! I can truly tell how much she cares for animals and I will definitely reach out to her next time I travel!! :)”
“Stephen was fantastic. He came to my rescue for my cat as the other sitter I had was not working out and I was already overseas. He came and spent more time than request with Reno.”
“Taylor took great care of our kitties! It gave us peace of mind to be out of town for a couple days. She was easy to communicate with. We would definitely book her again.”
About: I recently just lost my cat of 19.5 years, Paris (in photo). She filled my heart with so much joy and is the reason I fell in love with cats. We also have 3 other cats 12,10 and 4 who are all rescues we have loved on since they first came into our lives. I have experience with administering medication, including interventions fluids. I have also followed very specialized diets for my cats and a lot of experience cleaning litter boxes.
“Gwen cared for my two kitties as if they were her own. She was able to notice a change in behavior of my 16 yo cat and alerted us in time to help her. She stayed with her until we were able to make arrangements to come home early. My cats really liked her too- which is highly unusual. Would 100% recommend Gwen and would entrust our pets care to her again.”
“Kali has come twice now in the last month. I am incredibly grateful we have finally found a sitter like her again! Kali is kind, punctual (we have a diabetic cat that needs to be cared for in specific time increments), communicative, and we can tell our cats and home have been taken care of when we get home. She has even managed to get our shy cat to come out while she is there. I am relieved to know we have finally found someone we can trust!”
About: I have a lot of experience caring for cats and a deep understanding of their unique personalities. I’m very patient and have a strong connection with them. I’ve taken care of cats for family members, neighbors, and even some in my local community.
“Charlotte came in clutch when I booked a couple of days before my trip. She was friendly and trustworthy. I only have cats and they don’t need any care other than attention, since their food and litter are automatic. It’s possible that this led Charlotte to think I didn’t want updates about the cats. Day 1 of 2 I reached out to check in and I heard from Charlotte that Meatloaf did not respond well to her the first visit—hissed but did not become aggressive—but that he warmed up to her on visit 2. Definitely will set up introductory visits each time which I have learned will avoid this issue. Charlotte stopped responding after the first day, so I have no way of knowing how the second day of visits went. I was pretty worried about whether Meatloaf was mean to her or if the cats were being checked on. I’m not even sure if she saw my shy second cat at all—just any more communication would have been good. I don’t want to tank any ratings if my cats were a problem but I have no idea what happened.”
“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.”
“Ali is simply a lovely human. My dogs took to him immediately. Gus was especially excited to meet his new friend and Ali responded with nothing but patience and understanding. Ali has an energy that is simultaneously enthusiastic and calming. We’re excited to have him back :)”
About: I have grown up around and caring for various species of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I have experience with animals of all ages through personal pet care, caring for friends and family's pets. I currently own a dog, bearded dragon, and a holland lop bunny. I currently work until 3pm so I will have plenty time to care for your loves! I am available most weekends and some holidays. My calendar will be up to date I have a large fenced in yard.

One bearded dragon and bunny which are in my room and shouldn’t be an issue.
“Christina was amazing, she dropped in on our puppies the night of our wedding so we had peace of mind they were fed and safe while mommy and daddy tied the knot! Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Haywood
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I love spending quality time with pets, especially taking long walks to keep them active and happy. I am attentive to each pet’s needs, whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a shy cat. What sets me apart is my dedication to making every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while providing exercise, attention, and plenty of fun during our walks. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to care for pets. This allows me to provide regular attention, playtime, and multiple walks, ensuring each dog or cat feels loved and engaged while their owners are away. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. At my home, pets have a secure, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I supervise all activities, provide regular meals and water, and ensure that walks are safe and enjoyable.Owners can trust that their pets are treated with love, attention, and respect at all times.
“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.”
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.
“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 !!”
“Sarah is super flexible with my odd schedule, and gives Ellie pup a comfy and fun stay! Ellie comes home very sleepy and content from her nice days with Sarah. Would recommend.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Heather is one of a few dog sitters I trust with our pup. A day with Heather, and I know Ziggy has gotten all the daily excercise and playtime he needs. She is excellent with him.”
“We are very grateful to Tetyana for taking care of our Bella. Kind and reliable people, always in touch, keep us informed of how our dog is feeling. Bella already considers Tetiana's house to be another family place for her.”
About: Hi! My husband and I live in Apex. We have 4 kids, ages 10 and 13 (two sets of twins so only 2 ages!), and one cavapoo. I am a nurse and now work as a case manager from home. Pets have always been a huge part of my life and I’ve passed my love for animals onto my children! We lost our 4 year old goldendoodle to lymphoma and that left a huge void for our family. While we are not quite ready to permanently welcome a new family member, we have a lot of love to give your pet when you are away. You can leave your pet knowing they will be treated just like our own with lots of rubs, cuddles, and walks! Our dog, Max, loves a playmate. Our children are great with animals as well. We have raised our pets from puppies, taken care of family members’ pets when they are traveling, and checked in on neighbors dogs when they are away. There is always someone ready and willing to play with or walk your pup. I work from home so am available to provide your pet the care they deserve. On the occasion I have a meeting out of the house, I am able to schedule it around the needs of your pet as I have complete flexibility over scheduling. My husband is a teacher so is also free to help by early afternoon. We do not have a fenced yard, but there are sidewalks, greenways, and dog parks all around us. We take our own dog on multiple walks per day, so are often outside. We have an open floor plan with lots of room for playing fetch. Because we have raised 2 dogs from puppies, we have a crate available if needed as well.
“Tracey is very caring and responsive. She always makes sure to communicate and sends great pictures throughout the day of our pup having a blast! Cash loves going over and runs right up to her front door every time! Glad Cash has a place like Tracey’s to go stay and have a blast when we are both working.”
“Marlon was great with our pup, it was Genji’s first time with daycare, first time being away from home and he was a little anxious but Marlon made sure Genji felt comfortable. He”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years, and caring for my own senior pup has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage of life. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with routines, gentle handling, medication reminders, and giving pets the extra attention they may need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also continuously improving my skills as a sitter—I take my dog to training classes and apply those lessons to the pets I care for. This has helped me learn about positive reinforcement, building trust, and managing different personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide calm, reliable, and loving care. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel confident while they’re away. I am currently a full-time housewife, and after my child goes to school each day, I have plenty of free time to focus on caring for your dog. My schedule is very flexible on weekdays, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, and prompt communication. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and can adjust my day around your dog’s routine. Your pup will never feel rushed—I have the time and patience to give them the care, playtime, and comfort they need. I have a While I don’t have a fenced backyard, I make sure every dog stays safe and well supervised at all times. I take dogs out for regular leashed walks in my quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood, and my neighbors are very nice, making it a comfortable and safe area for daily walks. Indoors, your dog will always be kept in a secure, calm environment. I never leave pets unattended, and I follow your preferred routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and leash handling. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Our sweet Fred had such a great day with Tiffany and Chase! I'm always worried for Fred to stay somewhere new for the day but Tiffany was so communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout the day so I could see that he was happy and having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“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! I had a little separation anxiety but the open communication was definitely helpful and helped ease my anxiety. I would recommend Maria, she cared for my fur baby like one of her own. He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”

“Annalia was great! I really appreciated that she was able to come over (last minute on my part) to do a meet and greet the day before walking our dogs. They seem to love her and it’s a huge relief to know they are being doted on while I’m at work. Also the pictures are so adorable and really capture their personalities well.”
About: Hey there! I am a public servant who has been rigorously background checked for employment, just looking for some opportunities to meet and love more fur babies while making a little extra money! My fiancé and I have three dogs and three cats. I enjoy taking them for walks and playing tug of war. The best feeling is getting to snuggle them in the evenings. We also have 6 chickens, let me know if you need chicken care! 🐓I also have some experience working with horses, mainly feeding, please let me know if you need care! 🐴 Bonus: Ask me about providing animal care at your wedding or personal events! Who doesn’t love a dog at a wedding!?

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat owner with experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs, including blind and diabetic dogs. I’m also a proud cat mom of two and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m active and love being outside, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy with walks, playtime, or runs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, with plenty of updates and attentive care along the way. I currently offer pet care availability during early mornings, lunchtime, and evenings on weekdays, with more flexible availability on weekends. I’m an active person who loves hiking, running, and rock climbing, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy—whether that means walks, runs, or playtime. I’m also very comfortable with a range of pet personalities. I’m happy to cuddle affectionate pets or give shy cats the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. This makes me a great option for anyone needing reliable early morning or afternoon care, along with consistent, attentive support for their pets throughout the week. I will always follow any specific instructions regarding treats, care routines, brushing, walking, or play so your pet gets exactly what they need and are used to. I take communication seriously and am happy to share pictures and regular updates during my time with your pet so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your home will be treated with the same care and respect as my own, and I always aim to leave things even better than I found them.
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have one of my own, I am great at being active with them and would love to dog sit or dog walk for you. I have plenty of references, and would love to watch your dog babies and treat them like my own for how every long you need. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to spend with your animals and can stay with them as much as they need! We have a big fenced in area for our dogs, and take them on car rides and to the dog park, they love being outside!
About: I've had animals in my house for over 20 years. Spanninng a cockatiel, a cat, five dogs and my clown fish who are going on 18 years old. Once, I drove the bird into the Tuft's vet school in a blizzard on a weekend night. Another time I took one of the clown fish into the Tufts satellite clinic on a Sunday because he hadn't eaten for days. Both pets lived to tell their tale. Cats are great, I love how they set the rules :) But dogs are where my heart is, especially Airedales, and rescue dogs are a labor of love! My priorities start with my pet family, unless I'm taking care of yours. Then, your pets become my priority. I work from home most of the time and that allows me to have the ultimate flexibility in my schedule so that I can care for your pets as appropriate, on their time. I've raised my dog training game significantly over the past few years, attending regular sessions with my trusted trainer, Baptiste. Our work has focused on highly reactive dogs and also puppy training. Like kids, pets can do no wrong. I do not get upset with them, I just clean the mess ;)
“I can't recommend Jessica enough! From the beginning, she showed genuine care and professionalism by asking all the right questions to really understand my dog's needs, routine, and personality. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time she comes over. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she works with. Reliable and great with communication—she’s the best!”
“I appreciated the check in's to inform me when the walk was initiated and completed. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was a great experience and I plan to use Rover again and hope Jessica is available for future dog walks.”
About: I have two doggies of my own. Both of them are senior dogs with young hearts, and they are still very active. My experience comes from being a dog owner. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. During the week, I work from home, which makes caring for my dogs easier. I’m able to walk them, feed them, and play with them during my breaks. My weekends are free, which gives me extra flexibility for longer walks, additional playtime, grooming, and any extra care they may need. It also allows me to spend more quality time with them and make sure they stay active, happy, and comfortable. I have two senior dogs who love going for walks and visiting the dog park. Both of them also enjoy going on car rides. They are definitely very spoiled.
About: I have grown up around animals and throughout that time have gained skills that help with sitting and with that it allows me to be a better sitter. I have been around all ages of cats and dogs my whole life and have been sitting regularly since I was thirteen. I’m currently in school and not very busy with classes, so I’ll be readily available to fulfill any petting sitting needs that are needed. I will usually check in and/or walk in the morning or in the evening. My dog gets walked twice a day at minimum because he tends to want to get that much energy out. This usually happens at night and I would be able to walk any dogs at the same level which I do mine.

About: I have been a pet owner of a variety of different pets almost my entire life. I love all animals and treat them with love and care as I would my own pet. I understand that a pet is part of the family and deserves to be treated as such. I am a very responsible, understanding, and caring individual and will be more than happy to follow any special requests for very special pets if needed. I am passionate about help others, I understand that although we care for our pets very much, life can tend to be busy and the day can go past without giving as much time as you would like to dedicate to we would like to towards our pets, I am here to help you with those pet responsibilites and show them the care and affection during those busy times.

I can do afternoons and nights and on the weekends. I work a full time job but I want to be able to spend time with animals.

“Kelly was flexible when I was late. She met Shinji couple times before his stay which helped a lot since he is shy (only at the beginning) . I will definitely ask for Kelly help again in the future.”
“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!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“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!”
“Emily and William took great care of Mia. She had regular walks, playtime and photos shared. When our trip got delayed , they gladly extended her stay. We would definitely have them take care of Mia during our future trips”
“Erica took amazing care of our pup for six nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. Our dog was absolutely spoiled with attention and care. We are so grateful to Erica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“My pup came back to me SO happy and so calm, he had the absolute best time. He can be a pretty anxious guy, so I was extremely impressed. He got lots of time with other pups and time running around outside, which was wonderful. Could not recommend more!!!”
“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!!!”
“We had a great experience with Sarah! She kept us updated with lovely photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. She’s very friendly, caring, and professional. Pumpkin was clearly in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future.”
“Marisa Was very flexible when I booked a last-minute dog sitting. She took terrific care of Wrigley and kept me updated how he was doing. I would use Marissa again anytime”

“Mollie took amazing care of our pup while we were traveling! She kept us up to date on how things were going and sent pictures regularly and went out Of her way to make sure our super anxious pup was as comfortable as possible. We would definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
