“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Amber and her family are amazing! They welcomed Melo in as part of the fam for a whole week and he loved it. Their place is a great escape to roam around in nature and close to home. Also chickens… so plenty of entertainment and stimulation! lol”
“David is a gem! He made our two beagles feel right at home during our recent travel out of state. Additionally, he shared photos and updates of our doggies each day we were gone, and let us know how they were adjusting to his space. We will, most assuredly, book David again -- and you should too!”
“Marilyn is absolutely amazing! We had contacted her hoping she might be able to accommodate our dogs for a last minute trip, and she quickly set up the meet and greet and boarding! Our "puppies" tend to be pretty high energy, and they seemed to fit right in with the family. This was the first trip I've been on where I forgot to worry about the dogs and just enjoy our trip, which never happens. The communication, updates, and photos were consistent and frequent, and I felt like they were in amazing hands the entire time. Both Maci and Oakley came back so happy (and so tired). I cannot say enough about amazing Marilyn (and her family) are! Thank you so much for everything, Maci and Oakley will definitely be back to play!”
“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”
“Tracy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very communicative and sent us lots of pics of our pup while we were away. Our dog, Charlie, settled in nicely at her place and seemed to have a great while he was there. We feel very fortunate that Tracy was able to keep Charlie over the Thanksgiving holiday, as our regular sitter was already booked. Now we have another option moving forward, as we would definitely book with Tracy again!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
About: I have loved dogs since before my parents finally fulfilled my Christmas wish for a puppy when I was five. Since then, dogs have been a constant in my life and a crucial source of joy and fulfillment. Over the last decade I embraced the adult side of dog love by regularly dog sitting for friends and family and eventually adopting a dog of my own. Dogs have always been one of the best parts of my life and I look forward to meeting yours! I don't have a formal dog training certification, but I think my dog Rafiki would gladly give me one. I adopted Rafiki 7 years ago and he is wonderful. His special talents include spinning his tail like a helicopter and being the first dog that 'non-dog-lovers' actually enjoy. He was not always such a dream though. When he was a puppy he had all sorts of terrible habits that I won't get into (RIP tv remotes, shoes, untoppled drinks). I decided that I needed some help with this adorable rambunctious puppy and signed him up for day camp training with a trainer in Durham. Every day when I picked him up, the trainer would spend 30 minutes to an hour teaching me how to work with Rafiki. He taught me a million things and really opened my eyes on how interact with dogs, how to read their body language, and how to best communicate with them. Though I’m no expert, I’d be happy to reinforce any training or problem-solving you’re working on with your pup. I am also happy to just spend some quality time together making sure their time away from you is fun, safe and enriching. I would love the chance to take your pup on some walks and adventures while giving you the peace of mind of knowing they are in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care. I like to stay active and enjoy hikes and walks with our furry friends. My dog is able to come in and out as he pleases. We have a fenced in yard (front and back) with plenty of room to play.
“I was nervous to leave my dog for the first time ever, but it was like she was in a little dog daycare! I got daily updates and photos and could ask questions whenever. We had a wonderful experience.”
“Jade was great again! We navigated having some overlap with another guest and spent time getting the dogs comfortable with each other. I appreciated her thoughtfulness to call it out and spending extra time to do so.”
“Hadassah provided exceptional care and love for our pup and made sure to follow our requests and his routines . She was loving, patient and willing to allow her dog and ours to have fun adventures but also made sure to spend quality time with our dog and make him have the best vacation ever ! Thanks so much Hadassah!”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”
“Teresa was kind and accommodating, especially with our last minute request for a sitter! She took great care of our furbaby as evidenced by the happy demeanor of the regular photo updates and status. Our furbaby was instantly at ease with Teresa and we could tell that she would be treated just like she was her own. Highly recommend Teresa! 5 🐾 rating!”
“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”
“Bruna was so friendly and great with my dog. She was very accommodating and I felt like she was the perfect sitter. Our booking was a little last minute and I really appreciate her for making every step of booking her easy and stress free. She updated us daily and was a great communicator. Def would rebook again. Thank you so much!”
“Amy was awesome in taking care of my pup. Very understanding of doggies and navigating unique behaviors. Also was very flexible in schedule changes when unexpected things come up. Always sent updates and even checked in after we left to make sure my pup was okay after experience some tummy issues. Would highly recommend as she treats her clients pets as her own.”
“Camila and Lino were great to work with! They are friendly and responsive. They sent pictures almost everyday our dog was with them. We will easily work with them again and recommend them to others!”

“Kat took care of my cat for 10 days and was wonderful. She was reliable, communicated consistently with updates, and she clearly took great care of him. Most importantly, he warmed up to her quickly, which give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Winter did a great job taking care of our 4 cats. I really appreciate how easy the whole process was and how well Winter communicated and kept us posted while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“We could not have been happier with the care that Ruth Anne provided to our two cats while we were away. She was extremely fast and clear with communication from the start. She gave frequent updates and pictures, which allowed us to enjoy our time off without worrying about how our kitties were faring at home. It was clear that she gave them lots of playtime and attention during her visits, and her daily update notes were endearing and thorough. Frankly, our cats were so relaxed when we got home that they barely roused the energy to greet us. :) Definitely recommend!”
“Eli did a great job watching my cat. He showed up consistently, sent pictures of the cat, her food/water/litter box and even brushed her! Daisy came out to see him on the first day and she doesn't like strangers!”
About: I’ve had cats for many years, mostly indoor but some outdoor! So I understand the difference in the personalities of the cats and understand they need more patience. I've taken care and had senior cats and newborn kittens. I've been through all the stages and care.
“Kate is wonderful. I will be recommending her to anyone needing a sitter, and won't hesitate to book with her again if needed. Thanks for taking care of my sweet, troublesome girls! 🐈⬛”
“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give to every pet. I focus on personalized attention, clear communication with owners, and creating a calm, loving environment so pets feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits, walks, feeding times, and play so each pet gets reliable care and attention. I treat every pet like family.

About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog caregiver who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very observant and hands-on, so pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will receive lots of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I work from home and have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog(s). I wake up early so we can get outside before it gets too hot. Happy for short or long stays! I have an acre fenced yard that is reinforced every few inches that is full of fun and smells and space to run. They will always be supervised, and indoors there is lots of cozy spots to lay and/or cuddle.

“Karla and her family are amazing, and care so much for our little boy. Within a few hours of our first day care stay, I knew Karla’s place would be a great spot for Koda’s weekly daycare. He has so much fun with Karla’s dog Dexter - he’s always as happy as can be when I pick it up. I highly recommend Karla for anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter for their pup!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background working in a veterinary clinic and the trust I’ve built with both clients and their pets. I’ve dog sat for many clients from the clinic, so I’m already familiar with their pets’ personalities, medical needs, and routines. That makes both the pets and owners feel more comfortable because they know their dog is with someone they already trust. Clients like me because I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced. I’m used to handling all kinds of situations, whether it’s giving medications, caring for senior dogs, or keeping up with energetic puppies. I pay close attention to details and always follow the pet’s routine to keep them as stress-free as possible. On top of that, I communicate well with owners and keep them updated, so they always feel reassured while they’re away. I treat every dog like my own, which is something clients really value.I also have trained a lot of my clients pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already work in a veterinary setting and am used to caring for animals throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m watching, making sure they get consistent walks, feeding times, playtime, and any needed care. I’m very organized and reliable, so I make time in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day for check-ins or longer stays depending on what each pet needs. Since I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, it feels like a natural part of my routine, not something extra. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they leave. I also keep the environment calm and familiar, since that helps pets feel safe while their owner is away. Because of my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring behavior, and noticing if anything seems off. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise for energetic dogs or gentle care for senior pets. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and quiet space where they can relax. I make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and care just like they would at home. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Jade was the best! She is so sweet and caring, our puppy is only 6 months old with a lot of energy and growing so big and Jade watched her for several days in a row. She noticed multiple habits and quirks we forgot to mention and definitely developed a bond with our pup in the time she watched her. Jade was very intentional with updates which we appreciated overall we highly recommend, we would definitely book again (:”

About: Hello! My name is Ayana, and I’m 25 years old. I have a passion for working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work professionally in a dog daycare/boarding environment, where I spend my days caring for dogs in group play settings, monitoring behavior, supporting enrichment activities, and making sure every pup stays safe and has fun! I’ve had animals by my side for as long as I can remember and currently have a kitten of my own who completely runs the household. I also have a senior cat who still lives with my mom and will forever be my first baby. Through both personal and professional experience, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. At this time, I’m offering dog walks and drop-in visits. My work schedule can vary week to week, so I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my availability. I can’t wait to meet your pets, learn all their little quirks and personalities, and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! I plan on providing for your pet as if they were my own while still following all your wants and needs. I will make sure to send pictures and updates!
About: I've been caring for dogs since 2014, when my family welcomed our own dog into our home. Because he was reactive around other dogs, I gained firsthand experience with consistent training, patience, and understanding canine behavior. Through structured training and positive reinforcement, I watched him become much calmer and more confident around other dogs, which taught me the importance of tailoring care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've also fostered a puppy, giving me experience with younger dogs and the extra attention, playtime, and consistency they require. I love keeping dogs active by taking them on long walks and hikes, exploring new trails and neighborhoods while making sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog enjoys an adventure outdoors or prefers a slower-paced stroll, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they're with me. I am currently a graduate student at Duke University, so I will have flexible time for your pup's needs! I am free all day on weekends, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday after 12pm, Thursday after 1:30pm. I am available to walk dogs during the day and typically enjoy local hikes around Eno State park. Your dog's safety is my absolute priority. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless we're in a designated off-leash area with the owner's permission. Since I have experience with reactive dogs, I stay alert of our surroundings and will avoid situations that may be stressful for dogs. When caring for pets at your home, my rule is to treat your home and dog as I would treat mine. This includes following feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and respecting house guidelines. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. As an attentive dog owner myself, I understand the need for peace of mind while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about how your pet is doing. My intention is to make sure your pup is happy, safe, and healthy while you are apart.
“Gina walked our dog Barley for an hour every day while we were at work. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. We could tell Barley enjoyed his walks because when we got home from work, he was calm and not antsy. We would highly recommend Gina and looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to even baby ducks. I’ve been pet sitting for years and love making animals feel at home. I work and study from home, so pets fit perfectly into my day. I plan walks, meals, and playtime around my schedule to give them full attention. I care for every pet like my own. I keep their environment calm, clean, and safe, follow their schedule, and make sure they always feel loved abd secure.
About: Hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah, Hade for short! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. As a child, we went through experiences with a wide variety of pets including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has truly taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. Currently, I have and take care of my dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and enjoys meeting new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer student in my senior year at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.
“Kat is such a patient and friendly lady. She’s great with dogs and very responsible when walking my dog. She even brought a raincoat for my dog on rainy days which is so considerate. I’ll definitely come back again to her if I need someone to take care of my dog in the future. :))”
“Alysha fulfilled my same-day request and their communication put my mind totally at ease. I appreciate her punctuality and promptness, and am grateful she could visit my boy at home when I couldn’t. Thanks, Alysha! 🐾”
About: I am passionate to give every animal the best quality of life possible, whether they’re small or big, loud or quiet, needy or independent. Anyone who knows me knows that if I see a cat or dog, my day is immediately changed for the better. Any pet owner I've met can attest to the amount of care and attention I allow to any and every animal in my possession. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will pay attention to every detail. I ask questions and stay as organized as humanly possible, so if your fur baby requires certain care, believe that I will be on top of it. I provide the most compassionate heart for all pet owners and their beloved animals, along with the most precise mind to handle all of their unique qualities. I'm currently working evenings, which means I get home around 10pm every night. If your pet’s care schedule allows for mornings, early afternoons, and late nights, let’s talk! With notice as to any concerns within your home, I will navigate it in any such way the client prefers. Your property deserves the same respect as mine, so necessary care will be taken to protect your space -- no mess of mine left behind.
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 25 years while raising my five children. Since losing my loyal companion 2 years ago and empty nesting, I am ready to shower love and care to your beloved pet. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet and I can’t wait to meet your furry companion! I am currently a companion to my 90 year old mother and am home every day. I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs. Deck available at home- yard is not fenced in. Beautiful walking area around the lake behind our home.
About: I've always enjoyed taking care of animals all of my life. While not being able to own too many myself, I have always opted to taking care of other's pets, whether it be dogs, cats, or something else. I am always happy to see/find new experiences, and am up to the challenge for anything new! I'm taking online classes currently, so my schedule is open after 8AM! If needed slightly earlier, I will try my best to compensate for such a need, as my schedule is very flexible. I live in a townhouse, so I do not have a fenced yard or any of the sort, however, I can provide a quality experience with your pets in attention and exercise!
“Lauren was excellent with my dog!! She was always so great with communication, and ensured that my boy was well taken care of! Will definitely be contacting Lauren again in the future!!!”

“Marilyn is absolutely amazing! We had contacted her hoping she might be able to accommodate our dogs for a last minute trip, and she quickly set up the meet and greet and boarding! Our "puppies" tend to be pretty high energy, and they seemed to fit right in with the family. This was the first trip I've been on where I forgot to worry about the dogs and just enjoy our trip, which never happens. The communication, updates, and photos were consistent and frequent, and I felt like they were in amazing hands the entire time. Both Maci and Oakley came back so happy (and so tired). I cannot say enough about amazing Marilyn (and her family) are! Thank you so much for everything, Maci and Oakley will definitely be back to play!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
About: I have loved dogs since before my parents finally fulfilled my Christmas wish for a puppy when I was five. Since then, dogs have been a constant in my life and a crucial source of joy and fulfillment. Over the last decade I embraced the adult side of dog love by regularly dog sitting for friends and family and eventually adopting a dog of my own. Dogs have always been one of the best parts of my life and I look forward to meeting yours! I don't have a formal dog training certification, but I think my dog Rafiki would gladly give me one. I adopted Rafiki 7 years ago and he is wonderful. His special talents include spinning his tail like a helicopter and being the first dog that 'non-dog-lovers' actually enjoy. He was not always such a dream though. When he was a puppy he had all sorts of terrible habits that I won't get into (RIP tv remotes, shoes, untoppled drinks). I decided that I needed some help with this adorable rambunctious puppy and signed him up for day camp training with a trainer in Durham. Every day when I picked him up, the trainer would spend 30 minutes to an hour teaching me how to work with Rafiki. He taught me a million things and really opened my eyes on how interact with dogs, how to read their body language, and how to best communicate with them. Though I’m no expert, I’d be happy to reinforce any training or problem-solving you’re working on with your pup. I am also happy to just spend some quality time together making sure their time away from you is fun, safe and enriching. I would love the chance to take your pup on some walks and adventures while giving you the peace of mind of knowing they are in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care. I like to stay active and enjoy hikes and walks with our furry friends. My dog is able to come in and out as he pleases. We have a fenced in yard (front and back) with plenty of room to play.
“I was nervous to leave my dog for the first time ever, but it was like she was in a little dog daycare! I got daily updates and photos and could ask questions whenever. We had a wonderful experience.”
“Teresa was kind and accommodating, especially with our last minute request for a sitter! She took great care of our furbaby as evidenced by the happy demeanor of the regular photo updates and status. Our furbaby was instantly at ease with Teresa and we could tell that she would be treated just like she was her own. Highly recommend Teresa! 5 🐾 rating!”
“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”
“Amy was awesome in taking care of my pup. Very understanding of doggies and navigating unique behaviors. Also was very flexible in schedule changes when unexpected things come up. Always sent updates and even checked in after we left to make sure my pup was okay after experience some tummy issues. Would highly recommend as she treats her clients pets as her own.”
“Camila and Lino were great to work with! They are friendly and responsive. They sent pictures almost everyday our dog was with them. We will easily work with them again and recommend them to others!”
“Rufus had the best time with Lauren! She sent us lots of pictures throughout his stay and was quick to respond whenever we got in touch. We were grateful for the yard she had for the dogs to run around in and play. While no issues arose, we were confident that she would be able to take care of anything as needed. Rufus can't wait to come back!”
“Teri was really great with Olive! We had a meet and greet first, and I could tell right away that Olive would be very happy staying with Teri. The sit went well, and I received photos and updates to let me know my girl was happy! Easily a 5 star experience. Thanks, Teri!!”
“Krystene and her family were great! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. I got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely book with Krystene again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Mary is fantastic! She took both my dogs for a week and they were cared for in a safe place with exercise, tons of snuggles, a beautiful fenced yard, and the company of her two friendly dogs. The easy communication with Mary and her easy going attitude makes you feel like you are leaving your dogs with a trusted friend you’ve known for years . This has been the most positive pet sitting experience I’ve ever had using Rover. Thank you Mary for looking after the doodles like your own.”
“Caroline was wonderful. She’s calm and seems very easy going. Our dogs are quite hyper but she dealt with them very gently. We appreciate her helping us, even when our one dog had last minute surgery so she had to administer meds. Definitely would recommend!”
