“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 were uncertain about how long our loved one would be in hospital and later skilled nursing care. Morgan was very flexible and accommodating in extending the booking until we were able to come get Madison.”
“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! Miss Olivia did great and I was updated numerous times a day which helped my kids and I from being away from our precious puppy. We will most definitely use her for any future trips.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Erica and Christian were great. I got pictures throughout the weekend and Mac came home exhausted after a very fun weekend. I’ll definitely reach out again when I’m out of town”
“First time with Elizabeth. Pups seemed happy staying with her. One of them was even dealing with an infection and she was great taking care of him. Would be happy to have them stay with her again. Only wish she sent more frequent photos, but I am obsessed with my pups!”
“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: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
“Scarlett was great with my dachshund, Link! He had a blast playing with her adorable Pomeranian, Daisy—they became fast friends. Scarlet kept me updated with fun photos and messages, which I really appreciated. She was easy to talk to, super patient, and made the whole experience stress-free. Link clearly adored her, and I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Allison was great. She checked in with me everyday and sent lots of pictures to let me know that Winston was doing well. Winston seemed to get lots of love, attention, and play.”
“Ashely did a fantastic job watching our dog, Tucker. She sent us updates and was very communicative and responsive. I would highly recommend her services to others and will definitely use again in the future.”
“Absolutely 5 star service with Megan! She sent me daily photos and updates of my fur baby, giving me peace of mind and allowing me to focus on my work while I was out of town. I will most definitely book with her again and highly recommend you do as well!”
“Catherine and Alvaro are so sweet and sent lots of photos of Teddy during the week he stayed with them. It was clear he was well taken care of and the communication was great throughout. I will definitely ask them to sit Teddy again.”
“Morgan was a GREAT pet sitter for Jiao and Tucker (golden retrievers). They had a great time playing in the back yard and also cuddling on the couch with her kids. Very nice house ... and since she works with animals professionally, we had no worries they were in great hands.”
“Amazing I will definitely use Jasmin again ! She was a true gem she did two updates a day. She sent photos and she was so easy to communicate with she was understanding when a ran a little behind she was great with Dane.”

“Danielle did a great job as usual even though our kitten didn’t remember her from last time and was a little spicy 🌶️ Everything I asked of her was done and I got lots of cute pics from each visit that helped me feel connected to them while I was away. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter that that puts their mind at ease 🥰”
“Paige is reliable and pleasant. Paige has been to our home several times. Besides carefully following care instructions, Paige has gone above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of our pets. Our dog and kitties were content and well fed. We will continue to book Paige. Thank you!!”
“This was our second booking with Katie and she was absolutely wonderful! Her expertise as a vet tech, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond came into play this stay, and showed just how dedicated to she is to caring for animals AND their owners! Katie is an asset and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you Katie for helping us take this trip and feel peace about sweet Casper’s care. You are a gem and we are so grateful for you!!”

“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”
“While he's very sweet and affectionate, my cat is very skittish around other people, loud noises, etc... he's pretty much bonded to me only and usually hides when other people are around. Kat is the first person ever to be able to form a bond with my cat. She had him out, playing, wanting pets and attention, and he was overall very happy to see her visit. Kat communicated well and sent lots of pics and a good report after each visit. She will definitely be the first person I call when I need someone to take care of my cat in the future.”

About: I’ve been a vet tech for about 5 years. Before that, I managed a pet boarding facility. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been caring for dogs and cats all my life. Im a toddler mom, and I currently work as an emergency vet tech so I’m great at keeping calm in stressful situations. I’m a stay-at-home mom during the week, and then I work on Saturdays, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I will have to bring my toddler with me to any visits on a weekday if it’s before 4 pm. When I’m caring for a pet, I always play with them and make sure they get quality interaction with me. I also check over their physical appearance to make sure they’re healthy and safe. As a vet tech, I’m very concerned with pets’ health and wellbeing.
“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!!”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I’ve also had basic veterinary training in high school. While my dog is no longer with us, she was always treated just like my kids, and was allowed on furniture/beds. I take daily walks (sometimes twice a day). I’m available for boarding on most days. I can also drop in on weekends as needed. I usually take a walk once or twice a day. My son enjoys playing fetch with dogs. Your pet will receive plenty of love and care while with us as we have always loved having dogs around.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! I currently have two happy pups of my own who are part of my daily routine. We go on multiple walks each day and spend lots of time playing and relaxing together. I work from home as a pharmacist, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. My two dogs keep me active with walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day, and I love having the flexibility to give visiting pups the same attention and care. I treat every pup like part of the family! My home has a fenced in yard and is in a very walkable neighborhood so there are plenty of chances to exercise and play. I keep each dog’s routine consistent with what they’re used to — from feeding and walks to cuddle time. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to give lots of attention, care, and supervision.

About: I have adored all animals ever since I can remember. Being born and raised on a farm I have taken care of many types of animals. I have one loving dog, a golden-doodle named Sadie. I am familiar with taking care of dogs with special needs, special diets and those who need physical therapy. I also have experience with dogs who are partially paralyzed. One of my favorite activities includes taking my dogs on walks through local parks and towns. My experience with your pet is handled as if it was my own. I understand that each household will have their own request and I am more than willing to make your experience with me the best that I can. I work from home which gives me flexibility. I am available for morning, lunch time, and evening potty breaks during the week. On the weekends my schedule is flexible so more of my time will be spent directly with your pet! I do live on a farm where your fur baby can spend time getting their zoomies out :) We will be adding a fully fenced back yard soon; it’s on the honey do list! I consider pets to be a huge part in a family! I am more than happy to accommodate to your pet and your households needs and wishes, whatever that may be. Please let me know any expectations you may have in regards to daily feeding, diet choice, exercise, play time, exposure to other pets or humans, etc.

“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”
“Erica was amazing! Sent great pics, welcome my baby girl into her home and made her feel comfortable because she was nervous. Great updates and pictures. Will use 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.
“We were visiting nearby and were so grateful that Olivia could take Bailey, with very little notice, for a couple hours while we had lunch in a restaurant with family.

I am very passionate about caring for dogs of all breeds and promise to show your pet the same love and attention I give my own!

I also strictly adhere to the directions and routines provided for feeding, walking, or administering medication to ensure the pet is safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of pets since I was a kid. I’ve walked dogs for my neighbors, fed horses, goats and chickens for family friends, and pet sat many other dogs and cats.

We do have 3 dogs but all are very loving and have gotten along with any animal they have met. We have a spare room that we can use to keep them separated if necessary, otherwise your pet will have free roam and will be treated like family.

“Paige has been amazing! She came and met the dogs before I had her come to walk them while out of town for work. She kept me updated with pictures and messages. I appreciate the care she took with my pups!”
About: Pets have always been a part of my life. I was raised with multiple cats and dogs, and from an early age developed a strong love and knowledge of caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and have applied for this position because I truly understand the struggle of having to leave and find someone trustworthy to care for them while I am away. From puppies and kittens, to senior pets, I will provide your pet with the same love and attention that I would wish for my own. I currently work full-time as an Instructional Specialist. I am free in the evenings and on weekends with the exception of holidays and Summer break. I am free Monday-Sunday during summer months and holiday breaks. We have a large yard for walking and a clean and quiet home for your pet to relax. I have no children except for my own two pups. I will take care of your pet as I would take care of my own.
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 !
About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.
“Courtney is amazing with my dogs! Honestly, she’s a dog whisperer. She can get into their minds and know exactly how to make them respond appropriately and behave. I’ve never seen anything like it! I highly recommend her!”
“Melanie is wonderful with the animals. She is kind, caring and very flexible in meeting their needs. My situation is a little complex at the moment and Melanie put us all at ease to help look after all the animals at a last minute request. Highly recommend!”
About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)
About: Hi!! I’m Kimberly 😊 A little about me: I’m a mom of three boys 💙 (a newborn, a 2-year-old, and a 7-year-old), so life is definitely full in the best way. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and that’s something my kids have naturally picked up too. They absolutely love animals and have learned to be gentle, kind, and respectful from a young age. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now, both personally and for others, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I grew up in a home full of pets. At one point we had 26 birds, 24 guinea pigs, 2 cats, and 3 dogs, so being around animals has always just felt natural to me. My faith is a big part of who I am and how I treat others. It guides me to be patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just with people but with every pet I’m trusted with. I understand how much they mean to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. We live in Mocksville, NC, and I’m in the Clemmons and Winston area often, so I’m very flexible depending on your location and needs. My husband is a U.S. Navy veteran, so we have a deep appreciation for those who serve and a special place in our hearts for military families. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for with attention, patience, and genuine love while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. On weekdays, I do school drop off between 7:45am and 9:30am and need to be home again by 3pm for pick up. Outside of those times, I’m generally very open and able to accommodate visits and walks. If a drop-in or walk falls within those school hours, my kids may come along with me. They absolutely love animals and are always gentle, respectful, and happy to give your fur baby a little extra love and attention 😊 ⸻ Note: I’ve adjusted my 30 minute drop in and walking rate because I often find myself staying a little longer to make sure your pet truly gets the attention and care they need. In my opinion, 30 minutes can feel rushed, especially for pets who have been alone for a while. I never want your pet to feel hurried, so I do my best to include extra time whenever possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved on. My rate is flexible depending on your pet’s needs, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat! I am very respectful of my home as well as others. I like to keep things clean and take pride in maintaining a well-kept space. I’m not one to pry, and I’m very self-aware, always making sure I’m being respectful of your home. I will treat your home the same way I would want my own to be treated. I’m great with following directions and instructions, and when it comes to your pets, I take my time to make sure their needs are fully met. You can definitely expect a bunch of updates and pictures while your furry or feathered babies are in my care.

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!

“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 were uncertain about how long our loved one would be in hospital and later skilled nursing care. Morgan was very flexible and accommodating in extending the booking until we were able to come get Madison.”
“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Erica and Christian were great. I got pictures throughout the weekend and Mac came home exhausted after a very fun weekend. I’ll definitely reach out again when I’m out of town”
“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: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe!

Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting.

Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
