“Absolutely without a doubt the best dog sitter ever! Michelle sent regular updates and pictures of Hershy. She is a loving person that openly loved our Hershy.”
“Very caring family who will take in your furry loved one, and take care of them with love. She also takes the BEST pics and sends them with updates throughout the visit. Brooke is great!”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
“Denee was fantastic with our lab. She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog at her home and would not hesitate to book again. Our dog came home happy and well cared for.”
“We have left our Bernedoodle with Bryanna multiple times, and he absolutely loves it there. This past time, after we opened the car door, he sprinted up to them, and never looked back. He couldn’t have been any more excited, and that means so much to us dog parents. Bryanna is amazing with communication and daily updates. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“Lawrence definitely took care of my and my dog'a needs! He had a very calm and mellow vibe that he projected onto my pup. He provided daily updates and photos, which were great! Would definitely use Lawrence again!”
“Scarlett was amazing and an angel when I needed one! I wasn’t able to find care for my pets due to a last minute cancellation where I live so I ended up having to take them with me and searched for care along the way. That’s when I came across Scarlett’s profile and when I contacted her she was so sweet and quick to offer help. She even left from what she was already doing to come take care of my dogs!! Wow! I was blown away by her kindness, compassion and communication. Oreo and Pandah got along well with other pets that were also there and she played with them and allowed them to stretch their legs running around and they had a blast! They received lots of cuddles from Scarlett just as I give them and I told her we would definitely be back to visit! She was Awesome!!! I would recommend Scarlett a trillion times over if you are in need of a pet sitter! She’s a great backyard for them to run around and play in and boy did they love it! Thanks for a wonderful encounter and experience! Truly a gift!”
“Nancy was a blessing 🙏We were so fortunate to be able to find her. She and her family looked after our precious little fella impeccably! She met us straight away to see if we were a good fit and kept communicating throughout with photos and comments. He adjusted so quickly and fit in like part of their family. I could see from the photos how much care and love they gave him and the freedom he always had to roam in the garden, rest anywhere and the safety he felt with them be g at home! Thank you again Nancy! I’m sure Corey is looking forward to kisses and cuddles again soon 🫶🤗🥰”

“Jamie was so accommodating and very flexible when we had to change our dates last minute! Sent daily pictures, which gave us a peace of mind. Thank you so much for watching Duke!!”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”
“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave! Alison and Richard were very flexible with our schedule and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be visiting them again soon!”
“Kellie is so caring and sweet!! I appreciate that she wanted to do a Meet and Great to see whether we were compatible and to get to know Boston a little before his couple of days stay. Kellie was very responsive and sent several very cute photos of Boston's stay to help put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Kellie!”
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
“Cristy took great care of my 9mo old puppy. She was super accommodating and flexible with our last minute requests/changes. She has a fenced in yard that is a puppy's dream and her facebook page updates are excellent. My pup came back happy and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Bethany and her family were amazing! This was the first time I ever left my pup with anyone since I got her just over a year ago. The day I dropped her was like leaving my first born at Kindergarten the first day. However, Bethany put me completely at ease, was so great with my dog. I received regular updates from her including videos of her husband playing with my dog. When I got home my baby was tired but happy and better adjusted than ever before. She seems to miss Bethany and her family. If you have any hesitation about a pet sitter Bethany is THE place for your pet. 10+ of 10 stars!”
“Yelena G was great. We scheduled a time to meet her right away. My husband and I loved her house and fenced in yard. Turbo loved her dog . Yelena sent us daily pictures and videos of our dog, Turbo going on walks and playing ball in the backyard. We have already asked her to take care of our dog again. She is a real gem.”

“Brooke took good care of my cats. She was dependable and let me know when she would be there. She took great pictures of cats that made me smile. I would welcome the opportunity to have her visit again.”
“Brianna was amazing to our furry friends and home! She went above and beyond and even took care of one of my dogs who ended up getting sick while we were away. Definitely will be issuing her again for our sitting needs!”
“This dynamic duo is the best pet sitters I have ever hired. Completely professional with great communication. They will be getting all of my future business, and my cats will be grateful for that.”
“Kristina was SUPER nice and sweet! She did amazing with our dog Ranger and sent us as many updates on him through the few days that he stayed with her. She was prompt and understood my need for reassurance as this was a first for me. Ranger had a GREAT time and made some new friends. When we got home he was pooped and ready for bed. We will definitely be coming back to her anytime we are in need of a sitter. Thank you soooo much Kristina for taking care of my baby!”
“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive when we updated her with tips and last minute concerns with our cats. She updated us with pictures and made sure each of our cats was doing well while we were away. We will definitely be trusting Kelsey to care for our pets in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”
“Alex was such a delight to work with and my guinea pigs loved her. She came by to meet them ahead of time and walk through their routine which helped me feel so much more comfortable using Rover for the first time! She took great care of my guinea pigs and sent some adorable updates along the way ❤️”
About: Have ran a small farm before. Many dogs and cats and goats chickens. Enjoy and find it peaceful to be around animals of all types I currently have Tuesday through Friday off and would like to make some extra money on my own schedule time Unavailable Saturday through Monday. As I work my full time job I can easily crate and walk your pet when needed and watch over it. When outside they will be on a lease and with me at all times
About: I have cared for every kind of animal you can think of since I was a kid—ponies, goats, bunnies...you name it, I’ve loved it! The last decade or so I have been mostly a dog mom and I have never met a dog I don’t love. I have boarded pups in my home, done drop in visits and done house sitting for friends and family for years. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your pup like the sweet baby he/she is, that’s me. I would love to care for your furbaby! I’m currently a stay at home mommy with a very flexible schedule, and I am available every day for drop in visits and walks and snuggles. I am happy to provide meet and greets for a small fee to help your dog or cat become comfortable with me before starting to provide services! I will also come bearing treats if you, the owner, are okay with that. I promise to help your furbaby feel safe and loved, and send you photos of our time together.

“Lawrence was great with my pup, and Sully absolutely loved him! He was super easygoing, attentive, and followed all of my care instructions perfectly.

About: Hi! I’m Brianna, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with larger breeds, energetic personalities, and dogs who love a good walk and plenty of attention. I also had my own Shih Tzu for eight wonderful years, from my college days into early adulthood, and had the privilege of caring for her through her senior years — including when she lost her vision. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to each pet’s unique needs. Today, our home is filled with love from our cat and busy toddler, and while we’re not quite ready to add another dog to our family mix just yet, I’m definitely missing my dog time! Caring for your pup would give me the chance to enjoy the walks, tail wags, and companionship I’ve always loved while providing your dog with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether your pup enjoys a long walk, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, playtime, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll provide plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me the opportunity to spend more time doing things I love! I’m available for daytime walks and drop-ins throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide loving care, follow your routines, communicate updates, and treat your pet like they’re my own.
“Daija was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was clear and consistent from start to finish, which made everything so easy. She has a great attitude—super friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I really appreciated how flexible she was with timing and any changes I needed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.
“Bethany was very helpful with answering all our questions as first time Rover users. She was attentive to messages and provided excellent communication! When we are in Troutman again we will definitely book with her again. Willow seemed to enjoy her visit!”
“Holly is incredible! We are new to the area and needed to find a new daycare for Leroy. We brought him over for daycare and she was so easy to talk to and said she would send us updates within the hour, which she did! We got great pictures, videos, and Leroy had the BEST day! We have already booked her out for many more daycare dates & boarding! Thank you Holly!”

I love to play, study mannerisms and behaviors, I like toys that make their brains work so they feel fulfilled and tired after a good session of play. Walks, breaks and water are a good way to bond and pass the time. Cuddle bugs are always welcome as well. Nail trimming and grooming available if needed.

“Summer was awesome! I messaged her last minute late friday night and she was able to watch my pup on Sunday while I worked all day. She sent pics, and text updates throughout the day and made me feel comfortable leaving Kaia with her. It was nice that she also had a dog around the same size as mine so they could play together. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Summer!”

“Where to even begin with Sariah. She has been walking our boys for months now and we would be lost without her. Originally she started off walking our lab and terrier mix and they both absolutely adored her. Then we unexpectedly had to put our terrier down and she missed him just as much as we did. A month later we rescued our yorkie and she didn’t hesitate taking him on. He wasn’t leash trained, was scared and just over all a traumatized dog. She helped him walk on a leash, carried him when he needed to be carried and loved him through. We are devastated at her moving and not being able to care for our boys anymore. We always knew they were in good hands with her. Sariah thank you so much for taking care of our boys as we would and loving them. You will be missed dearly.”
About: I have the innate ability to put pets and their owners ease. I have had the opportunity to care for many pets in my neighborhood over the past 15 years. The comfort of a home versus s kennel is priceless to s pet and owner. I boarded my dog only one time and realized I could never do that to her again. My next door neighbor and I began switch off care for our animals during vacations and my other friends heard and wanted my help with their four legged loved ones. I I have boarded several at my home for a week at a time and was able to give owners piece of mind. I also dog sit/ house sit as needed due to the ages of the pets. The older pets tend to be more at ease in their own space. I walk every morning with my dog and other dogs for my health as well as theirs. Keeping pets moving keeps them young!
About: I've taken care of everything from snakes to guinea pigs to dogs to horses. Amphibians as well. I have worked in boarding for over 4 years, and I have been a vet assistant for one. I started off volunteering at the Charlotte Nature Museum when I was 15. I have interned at Carolina Raptor Center. I love all animals in any shape or size. I am also certified in Knowing Dogs 101 and 201, which covers recognizing individual and pack behavior. (ex. when your dog is in a doggy daycare and is playing with other pups.) I have two furbabies of my own, a guinea pig named Tatiana, and a spoiled rotten but adorable mutt named Sora. I promise hou that I will love your pets too! I have an open schedule for looking after your pet. I am more than happy to do morning and mid-day walks, visits, and feedings. I am unable to do late-night visits at this time. (After 8pm) I hold myself to a very high standard for looking after your pet. I will treat your pet and your home with the utmost respect. If they are on meds, then I will make sure that they get them on time and I can also give insulin if a pet is a diabetic.
About: I can provide dog walking services or visits for your fur babes! I have a fully fenced in privacy back yard with lots of room to explore! I am located conveniently in the downtown area of Statesville right of the I-77 and I-40 exchange. I have been a dog owner and lover since childhood and currently have two of my own that are a staple in our family! I look forward to offering a fun, safe, stress-free and exciting experience for your furry family member. Please let me know of any specific dietary restrictions your pet might have so that I am able to accommodate. Thanks so much!

I believe that pets are like children and should be treated as such! Your animals will be treated like my own, including love, walks, and play time.

“Very caring family who will take in your furry loved one, and take care of them with love. She also takes the BEST pics and sends them with updates throughout the visit. Brooke is great!”
“Denee was fantastic with our lab. She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog at her home and would not hesitate to book again. Our dog came home happy and well cared for.”
“We have left our Bernedoodle with Bryanna multiple times, and he absolutely loves it there. This past time, after we opened the car door, he sprinted up to them, and never looked back. He couldn’t have been any more excited, and that means so much to us dog parents. Bryanna is amazing with communication and daily updates. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“Lawrence definitely took care of my and my dog'a needs! He had a very calm and mellow vibe that he projected onto my pup. He provided daily updates and photos, which were great! Would definitely use Lawrence again!”
“Scarlett was amazing and an angel when I needed one! I wasn’t able to find care for my pets due to a last minute cancellation where I live so I ended up having to take them with me and searched for care along the way. That’s when I came across Scarlett’s profile and when I contacted her she was so sweet and quick to offer help. She even left from what she was already doing to come take care of my dogs!! Wow! I was blown away by her kindness, compassion and communication. Oreo and Pandah got along well with other pets that were also there and she played with them and allowed them to stretch their legs running around and they had a blast! They received lots of cuddles from Scarlett just as I give them and I told her we would definitely be back to visit! She was Awesome!!! I would recommend Scarlett a trillion times over if you are in need of a pet sitter! She’s a great backyard for them to run around and play in and boy did they love it! Thanks for a wonderful encounter and experience! Truly a gift!”
“Jamie was so accommodating and very flexible when we had to change our dates last minute! Sent daily pictures, which gave us a peace of mind. Thank you so much for watching Duke!!”
“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave! Alison and Richard were very flexible with our schedule and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be visiting them again soon!”
“Kellie is so caring and sweet!! I appreciate that she wanted to do a Meet and Great to see whether we were compatible and to get to know Boston a little before his couple of days stay. Kellie was very responsive and sent several very cute photos of Boston's stay to help put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Kellie!”
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
“Cristy took great care of my 9mo old puppy. She was super accommodating and flexible with our last minute requests/changes. She has a fenced in yard that is a puppy's dream and her facebook page updates are excellent. My pup came back happy and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Bethany and her family were amazing! This was the first time I ever left my pup with anyone since I got her just over a year ago. The day I dropped her was like leaving my first born at Kindergarten the first day. However, Bethany put me completely at ease, was so great with my dog. I received regular updates from her including videos of her husband playing with my dog. When I got home my baby was tired but happy and better adjusted than ever before. She seems to miss Bethany and her family. If you have any hesitation about a pet sitter Bethany is THE place for your pet. 10+ of 10 stars!”
“What a great experience with this family taking care of my girl. They put me at ease each step of the way. Paisley had the best time and she was so well looked after. Thank you for making her apart of your family for a few days!”
“Raven is very shy and they do a magnificent job with her. Especially her youngest daughter Catherine. Raven even sleeps with her at night. I used them every summer.”
“Natalie was able to watch my pup last minute after I was canceled on. She sent me lots of cute pictures of my handsome man. I will be using her as my go to dog sitter from now on.”
“Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel!! She took amazing care of my dogs, Rocco and Bear while I was away. From the daily updates and photos to the thoughtful attention to their routines and personality, I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in great hands. Rocco and Bear came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Claudia!!! She is the best!!! ? She is so sweet and caring and did an amazing job taking care of our girls! ? She regularly sends updates, which we appreciate so much! Plus, Claudia responds quickly and is super flexible! We had faith that our dogs were in good hands with her! ???

We can’t wait to bring our fur babies back the next time we go out of town! ❤️”
