“This is our second time we’ve used Kylie and she does great! I think she gets more love and attention here than home. It’s so nice to be able to leave and not have to worry your fur baby is well taken care of.”
“Brooke was awesome. We rescued our babies about 4 years ago and we were the second ones to rescue them. They have traveled with us and we are all they have known for the last 4 years. I was worried how they would handle being left with someone else but she did a great job. We received updates and pictures every day that made it easier to relax and enjoy our trip. Thanks again Brooke.”
“Christopher is super amazing and patient. He was patient and carefully monitored Ricky’s energy around the other dogs. He is well communicative which is definitely a plus when it’s your first time formally leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you don’t know. I love how he allowed me to also monitor my dogs behavior prior to completely dropping him off. Christopher is super respectful and understanding. I would recommend and book again!”
“This lady has become apart of the family. Our two dogs can be much to deal with at times but Gina does such a great job with them. They are so happy staying with her and I wouldn't trust anyone else. She doesn't just look after the dogs, she goes the extra mile to make sure they feel at home. If you are considering boarding she is the way to go. So glad we have such a wonderful person taking care of our babies”
“Pixie had an amazing time with Starla and her kids during her first stay with Rover. Starla gave Pixie extra attention, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Her kids were incredibly sweet, showing Pixie lots of care and affection. It truly felt like Pixie had a wonderful time with them.. I am sure will use starla rover again and again..”
“My fur babies are treated like royalty here! I think they would rather stay than come home with us! They are loved on and treated like part of the family. I highly recommend them if you need a sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I must say that Lutisa was phenomenal with my little Coco. She sent pictures and video and reassured me that my sweet and spicy little Coco would be just fine. I will book again with Lutisa if she will have my little Coco.”
“Seeing and hearing that Luna was having fun from the pictures and communication we received from Erica, every day, allowed us to have a peaceful, relaxing vacation. So grateful for Erica and Christian and for all the love and attention Luna gets when she's with them.”
“Melany was great! She sent lots of pictures of Forrest everyday, and she even kept him for an extra night when our plans didn't go as expected for pickup. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Thanks Melany!”
“Angela and her family took awesome care of our guy! She sent a few update photos over the weekend with her adorable children and it made us feel so comfy and happy that they all had such a good time together!”
“Jasmin is a great pet sitter. We went on a cruise vacation and she took care of our two doodles while we were away. She did a great job and she sent me updates throughout the week of how the dogs were doing. If you need a pet sitter I would highly recommend Jasmin.”
“We had a great experience! Very accommodating to our dog’s needs and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing our senior pup was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend and would happily book again. 🐾”
“Stephanie and Matthew were wonderful! They were more than accommodating and patient, especially with our last-minute boarding/petsitting request through Rover. They sent daily updates and pictures of our boys during the 4 days, leaving us always reassured and very comfortable with having left our dogs in their care. Highly recommended!”
“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”
“Usually when we leave our pup at the kennel he comes home and has an upset stomach. When he stayed with Morgan and her family he came home so normal and happy. Def booking again :)”
“This is Obi's second time with Arlene and I can't say enough positive about her. She loves her pups and they love her. She treats them like they are her own, with so much care and attention. She sends loads of pictures and videos. It's clear how much Obi trusts her and enjoys being with her and her husband. I am so thankful to have found Arlene!”
“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family. Dog parks, long walk and playtime with her family’s pet were just part of their routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. And he smelled great when I picked him up! She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for 13 years. No kids and or animals at home. I love animals and welcome cats and dogs of any size or breed. I live walking distance from a soccer field with a great track for walks. Both of my senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge recently and before their passing we had a nice routine going. I work nearby and will come home on my breaks to check on the pups and take them out on pee breaks. I have Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, which I normally spend at home or on hikes at local parks. I do not have a fenced in yard. However, I have no issue with pets on the furniture and I have a spare room for crates.
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“This was my first time booking with Rover and I was very pleased. Megan did a phenomenal job with communicating with me each day with updates and pictures of our two cats. Our fur babies were very well taken care of! Would highly recommend and will be using Megan again in the future!”
“Charlie came on somewhat last minute notice and apparently hit it off with Bear right away based on his pictures! She is communicative and very kind. I highly recommend Charlie!”
“Christopher was super easy to work with, did exactly what he said he would, and was very kind! We are so pleased and will be working with him again in the future!”
“Emma was great with my diabetic cat! She communicated well, and voiced her questions/concerns rather than assuming. My cat also loved her, will definitely be asking her to take care of him again.”
“I am so thankful we were able to find Valerie to look after our babies. She sent updates, photos, and video providing us peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely choose her again and again.”
“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

“She is a joy and my fur baby is obsessed with her Yorkie. I appreciate that she has experience with epileptic dogs. My dog has seizures and I trust her to care and comfort my dog as she goes through them. Thankfully she hasn’t had one under the care of Sanya. However, I trust Sanya, is what I’m trying to say. Thanks for all you do. Maggie loves you.”
“Communication from the beginning has been fantastic! I was looking for a daycare weeks before I actually needed it because of a relocation and Rachelle and Christopher answered every question and addressed every concern. I have a challenging dog and she’s only ever been in one daycare in her life. She and her sister had an amazing time during their first visit. Driving from Greensboro is totally worth it!”
“Christina was welcoming and professional and the bonus was making my fur baby feel like family when her kids came home for school! I would recommend and use her services again”
“Thank you Erica & Christian for keeping Luna entertained for the day. I could tell, from the pics you sent, that she had a fun time and even made new friends. I know she'll be excited to see you all in a month!”
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Catie is the best. Super accommodating and considerate. Sweet dogs that my pup loves to play with. Sends lots of pics and videos while watching my pup which is great. Highly recommend her!”
“Our dogs Luna and Lehla had an amazing time. Both were very well cared for. We were sent pictures of them playing through out the day as well. Highly recommend booking her for your first babies!”
“Loren took wonderful care of my Shih Tzu, Charlie. She did a great job of introducing her 2 big dogs to little 10lb Charlie. Loren communicated with messages and pictures throughout the day. Charlie was worn out and happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Loren again when I need care for Charlie.”

I hope we can make a plan that makes you and your pet most comfortable. I will ensure that your fur babies are safe with me while I am in your home. Making sure outside doors are closed and locked after entering and exiting your home.
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”
About: I've been watching family and friends pets since i was 13 and animals all tend to like me. I'm going to school to be a vet tech and i take so much joy in playing and hanging out with any and all animals. I don't currently have a job so all my attention and time can go to your pets! I do start school in august but even then i will be available everyday except for tuesdays and thursdays. i don't have a fenced in backyard but it is pretty spacious so if your pet likes to run they will enjoy it! i have an in ground leash that is long enough for them to run around all they like.
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a working ranch, which gave me the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets, chickens, goats, sheep, donkeys, and horses.etc. That background taught me how to confidently handle animals with a variety of needs, personalities, and energy levels. I have had all breeds of dogs growing up, but currently, at home, I have two large dogs — a Doberman, a Cane Corso, and a boxer/pocket bully mix — so I’m no stranger to strong breeds, high energy, or big personalities. I understand how to manage powerful dogs calmly and safely. I also have three cats. What sets me apart is my wide-ranging animal experience, my confidence with large and exotic pets, and my professional training. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care while following your instructions closely. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs, exotic pets, or farm animals, I’m here to offer safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I am currently switched my schedule where I work a lot less and pick what days I want to work, so I can have more time on my off days doing what I love best, caring and loving on animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the home with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions carefully and stick to the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. JUST A HEADS UP! I do require all boarding dogs to come with a crate, for comfort and safety! I understand how important it is to create a safe, stress-free, and trustworthy environment. I’m calm, reliable, and always make sure pets feel seen, heard, and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medications, or just providing company, I handle every task with patience and care. I’m also certified in pet CPR and first aid, which gives added peace of mind in case of an emergency. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and happy while you’re gone.
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I've raised them from playful puppies to loyal seniors, so I understand what each stage of life requires. I've always been surrounded by dogs and have looked after pets for friends and family over the years. I know how important it is to give them comfort, consistency, and love while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own!🩷Belly rubs included of course!☺️ I am currently a full time online student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry, loving friend whenever needed. I can perfectly fit them into my routine and adjust as necessary!☺️ Although I don't have a fenced yard, my neighborhood is big with lots of green space to take walks and play. While inside the house, they are free to roam around and cuddle or be crated if needed. If your pup is staying the night, I can ensure they will be comfortable all night long and will be well taken care of.🫶🏻
“We love Tara and her home! Always so communicative and responsive and Imo bounds right in without any hesitation when we come visit (he has separation anxiety so that means a lot)! Thank you for taking care of our fluffy man Imo!!”

I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !

About: I am custom to all dog types, every pet is treated with peace, love, & care. I have had only big breeds as my own, the only big I see is big baby! Lol I can handle a sour patch 🤍🐾 Pet care is part of my daily routine making time for feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. 🐾 I have extensive experience in pet care, specifically with dogs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various aspects of dog care, which are crucial for a beginner dog walker to understand. Here are the key areas of my experience: 1. Understanding Dog Behavior: • Recognizing different dog temperaments and behaviors. • Identifying signs of stress, anxiety, and aggression. • Understanding body language and vocalizations. 2. Handling and Walking Dogs: • Using proper leash techniques to ensure control and safety. • Managing multiple dogs at once, keeping them calm and orderly. • Navigating different environments, such as parks, streets, and busy areas. 3. Basic Training and Commands: • Teaching and reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. • Using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior. • Addressing common behavioral issues like pulling on the leash or barking excessively. 4. Health and Safety: • Recognizing common health issues, such as overheating, dehydration, and injuries. • Administering basic first aid and knowing when to seek veterinary care. • Ensuring dogs have access to clean water and are protected from extreme weather conditions. 5. Socialization: • Introducing dogs to new people and other dogs in a controlled manner. • Ensuring positive interactions and preventing conflicts. • Understanding the importance of regular socialization for a dog’s well-being. 6. Exercise and Play: • Providing appropriate levels of exercise based on the dog’s age, breed, and health. • Engaging dogs in stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active. • Using toys and games to make walks enjoyable and enriching. 7. Routine Care: • Maintaining a consistent walking schedule to meet the dog’s needs. • Ensuring cleanliness by picking up after the dog and disposing of waste properly. • Monitoring the dog’s overall condition and reporting any concerns to the owner. 8. Communication with Owners: • Providing regular updates on the dog’s behavior, health, and activities. • Listening to and addressing any specific concerns or requests from the owners. • Building trust and a strong relationship with both the dog and the owner. By understanding and applying these principles, I ensure that the dogs in my care are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and a genuine love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for any successful dog walker.

“This is our second time we’ve used Kylie and she does great! I think she gets more love and attention here than home. It’s so nice to be able to leave and not have to worry your fur baby is well taken care of.”
“Christopher is super amazing and patient. He was patient and carefully monitored Ricky’s energy around the other dogs. He is well communicative which is definitely a plus when it’s your first time formally leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you don’t know. I love how he allowed me to also monitor my dogs behavior prior to completely dropping him off. Christopher is super respectful and understanding. I would recommend and book again!”
“My fur babies are treated like royalty here! I think they would rather stay than come home with us! They are loved on and treated like part of the family. I highly recommend them if you need a sitter!”

“Stephanie and Matthew were wonderful! They were more than accommodating and patient, especially with our last-minute boarding/petsitting request through Rover. They sent daily updates and pictures of our boys during the 4 days, leaving us always reassured and very comfortable with having left our dogs in their care. Highly recommended!”
“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”

She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family. Dog parks, long walk and playtime with her family’s pet were just part of their routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. And he smelled great when I picked him up! She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“My son son absolutely loves Sanya! He has stayed with Sanya on multiple occasions and she is very thorough with letting us know how he’s doing . She sends pictures and videos to let you know how your fur baby is doing . Son Son never wants to leave when it’s time for either myself or his daddy to pick him up . She is the best dog sitter we’ve had and he will continue to go to her as long as she offers services . Book her I promise you will not be disappointed!”
“Ashley and her family was amazing with our dog, Maverick! She kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. Communication was super easy, and it was clear that Maverick was well cared for and happy. We’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again in the future — highly recommend her!”
“Hayley was wonderful with Duke & Tuna while I was on a work trip. She was able to be flexible with my schedule. This would be Tuna’s first time be boarded in someone else’s home and my partner was nervous about it, but Hayley was extremely communicative and made Duke & Tuna feel right at home. When we went to pick them up, looked like they had a wonderful time. We certainly will be booking Hayley again for next time!”
“Brittany took such great care of my dogs. She asked questions to prepare for their visit and kept me updated the whole time. I know they got great care with her and had a great time.”
