“I say it every time, but there’s simply not a better sitter around! My dogs couldn’t be happier staying on the farm. I always feel good knowing they’re well taken care of and look forward to the regular picture updates and seeing how happy they are with Margo!”
“Coco is my mini Dachshund shadow, and fur companion. We have bonded in our 5 weeks since her adoption. She has been a great source of comfort in a quiet home since the passing of my spouse. Kimberly and her family were available to care for my lil Diva Princess, on short notice. The original boarder was no longer available and I had a trip planned to visit with my daughter out of state. I am truly grateful for the new connection we have made with Kimberly. CoCo was integrated into her family as if she was their own, and I sincerely appreciate the love and care they extended to her. Kimberly’s daughter, Ava spent a lot of time loving CoCo, playing with her, and teaching her new tricks. If you are looking for a sitter that will treat your fur pup like her own, then I encourage you to reach out and try Kimberly.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”

“She was great with zazu, and accommodated drop off for him which was so helpful. If i was ever in the area again I would definitely reach out to book again. We go lots of pictures and positive feedback. :)”
“Megan took care of my goldendoodle Pinki , You can really see her love for animals. She is so charismatic and attentive. You would be silly not to hire her to care for your animals. She is a package deal!! 10/10 Would reccomend!”
“Naomi did a wonderful job watching our dog. She is very organized and really took the time to get to know our dog. Our dog seemed very calm and happy when we picked him up, which is always a great sign that the stay went well. Naomi communicates well and sent us pics and videos of our dog having a great time. We will absolutely rebook w Naomi. She is amazing!”
“My dogs felt safe and had fun with Lannette while we were away for two weeks! She did great keeping me updated and sending pictures. Hope to book with her again in the future!”
“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”
“Monica was wonderful with our dog, Chase! She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the photos that Chase had a great time playing with Nova and Arcturus. She was also incredibly flexible when I needed to make a last minute change to our pickup time. I would definitely trust her with Chase again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter! 🐾”
“Summer updated me daily with photos and videos. My 7 month old high energy black lab had a blast at her house. I can tell she treated him as her own and he came home tired and we felt as though he was loved by her as he would have been by us. Also I got with her very last minute about watching him and she responded fast and was fantastic. All of his stuff was bagged up when we picked him up. She was a God send thank you Summer!!”
“Great sitters. I have used them several times. This time, I needed a last-minute booking, and they were quite accommodating. The pictures Jennifer shares always show my dog playing and happy.”

“Caitlyn has been absolutely WONDERFUL when she’s watched my cats! I know they are well taken care of and they love her! I trust her with my boys and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter :)”
About: My experience with cat care started 8 years ago, and my time working with kittens is much shorter, less than 2 years. Learning firsthand at animal shelters as a kid how quick cats can go from loving and vulnerable to sometimes fearful and or/irritable taught me most felines have unpredictable emotions. Because of this I learned to approach and treat cats much differently from how I would a dog to get a better chance of bonding. I currently live with three cats and including them I have cared for almost every different coat color besides the infamously chaotic orange tabby.
About: I have been a cat lover since I was a teen, my Russian blue was a spicy feline so I understand the time and patience that they need. I have some experience with aloof cats and the little cuddle bugs as well. I also have base access for our military families.
About: I have two cats of my own and understand that every cat has unique needs. One of my cats has ongoing bladder issues, so I'm experienced with closely monitoring litter box habits, recognizing changes that may need attention, and following care routines. My other cat is very adventurous and loves to jump fences, so I'm always mindful of safety and preventing escape attempts. Caring for my own cats has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of tailoring care to each cat's personality and needs.
“Riley was wonderful! She was very sweet, reliable, and took great care of my cat, Lola, during her drop-in visits. I really appreciated the detailed updates and all of the photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Lola was well cared for and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Riley to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will definitely be rebooking her for future visits!”
“Sarah did an amazing job caring for our 4 cats while we were out of town. She took extra care and time to get our babies to come out and spend time with her. She was prompt and thorough. We appreciated the daily updates and hand-written notes. We would absolutely pick her again!!!”
About: Hi guys! My name is Nicolle Bravo and I look forward to caring for your precious fur babies! I’ve spent my entire life around all kinds of animals, caring for them, administering medication such as insulin and shots, and even just providing some much needed love and affection. I’ve had experience with cats, dogs, pigs, bunnies, ferrets, birds, snakes, and lizards. No task is too much when it comes to our bundles of joy, so please feel free to contact me if you have any special requests as I know from personal experience how much stress can arise from trying to find someone who you can trust to take care of your babies beyond just dropping in to provide basic necessities. I hope to meet you and your lovely ball of fur soon! I currently work full time as a caregiver with a man with autism therefore I am only available before 10 or after 6 Tuesday through Friday! Mondays is before 10 and after 5! My weekend schedule varies . In home I care for pets just as if they were my own!

“This is the second time we’ve used Morgan, and Rover in general. Both times she was punctual, trustworthy, reliable, quick to communicate with, and we felt that our pets were in great care. We will absolutely continue to use her in the future if we need a pet sitter!”
“10/10 service! Beth is amazing at what she does, especially with providing so many updates. I wasn’t at all worried about my SIX kitties while I was out of state when they were in her care! Beth cleaned our home after her staying here, which is something BEYOND any other sitter would do. A big thank you to Beth for providing such amazing service and entertainment for my cats. My life revolves around their care and to be able to have someone as great as Beth to stay with them and care of them in all of the ways was such a weight off my shoulders!! ♥️”
“100/10 This was my first time using rover and I was nervous at first. With that being said Trinity was amazing and left me with nothing to worry about . she took great care of my cats who I am crazy about ! I got lots of pictures every time , and my cats loved her ❤️”

“This was my first time using Rover, I am so glad I found Britney! She went above and beyond to make sure my home and 3 cats were well taken care of while I was gone on a trip. I received lots of pictures, videos, and updates, and my cats loved her, even the shy ones were loving on her!”
“I was very pleased with Kristina's daily updates and the care she took in watching Nymphadora while I was away. She went above and beyond and even helped put the cover back on my motorcycle when she noticed it wasn't fully on. The photo updates were also nice to receive and made me laugh seeing Nymphadora peeking at the new people in her home.”
“Makena was great taking care of our 2.5yrs old male cat Compass. Makena provided great communication throughout the process and pictures once a day. Definitely recommend and will work with Makeba again in the future.”

I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.

“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.

About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes.

I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.

“Megan has been our primary dog walker for about a year and has been fantastic! Our dog loves her and she’s be incredibly flexible with our busy schedule. Couldn’t recommend more.”
About: My experience into dog care started 9 years ago, and my time working with cats started less than a year later. My experience of both dogs with a hyper or dissociative personality and felines with bad temperament was mostly gained while working at various animal shelters. Some shelter dogs and cats are not temperamental on their own but sometimes will instinctively react to those who are being the aggressors, as is their nature. it's often very similar at dog parks- A Gathering of many unknown dogs, some likely to be reactive to others and always a few having chance of causing a fight. Something I keep in mind for safety every time I have an interaction with a dog I don't know while walking someone else's that I was entrusted the care of, is that other animals I don't know will always be unpredictable. Outside my charity work for shelters, for an even longer amount of time I've taken care of pets of many ages and breeds for family/friends going on 9 years now. I have handled many large breeds; Labradors, Huskies, Great Danes, German Shepards, Mastiffs. I have also worked with various medium and small sized breeds. My total 2 years of experience with puppies was spread out caring for and helping raise pups my sister had gotten. Between raising puppies and trying to work with pets giving me a hard time during the course of my many dog sitting jobs I have seen and learnt countless things about our furry friends! To list a few; common dog and cat habits, nutrition, toxic foods for dogs, signs of aggressive body language in pets, and abnormal behavior alongside possible causes. Any and all pet needs such as sitting, walking, etc. I'm available to do every day of the week, as I have a clear schedule for the time being. When at a client's house, if instructions are not already given to me I will ask the owner's typical routine with their pet and see what they want or need done for their dog or cat. I'd Also ask general house rules like backyard access, and if I could entertain the fuzzy friends with toys for enrichment.
“Liz is super. She is reliable to come when scheduled. If there are any changes, she is flexible to our needs. Communication is great; she always provides a report and photos. Most importantly, she loves Baby and gives her the attention needed. If you are looking for an experienced person to love and walk your dog, look no further. We highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I don’t believe in simply stopping by to feed and leave.

My goal is for you to return home to a happy, healthy pet and have complete confidence that they were treated like family every step of the way. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, not something I try to fit in between other commitments. I intentionally schedule my day to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide a calm, dependable, and stress free experience for both pets and their families. Every pet has different needs, so I tailor my care to match their normal routine and your instructions. In your home, I work to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible by following their feeding routine, providing exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and making sure everything is secure while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I provide updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: Hi!! I am a senior at ECU and my family and I just moved to the Raleigh area from New York. I have been sitting for a little over three years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do.

My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I now have a a dog of my own, Champ as well as foster dogs though Pitt Friends so I am highly knowledgeable with anything regarding dogs and puppies. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.
About: I have hands on experience working at an animal shelter, where I regularly walked, handled, and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Through this, I’ve worked with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious ones who need extra patience and care. My experience has taught me how to read dog behavior and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits easily into not my daily routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my day to day meet to each pets needs. I do attend church on Sundays and Wednesday, but outside of those days I am highly available and committed to providing consistent and attentive care. In my home (boarding/daycare): I provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible. Dog walking: during walks, I focus on safety and exercise, making sure each dogs get the right pace and level of activity for their needs. Drop ins: when visiting a clients home, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and receive attention and playtime. I also respect the home by keeping things clean and following all instructions closely. No matter the service, I provide updates and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and live while you’re away.
About: I respect all animals, and have a particular love for cats and kittens. I’ve taken care of puppies, cats, and reptiles for over five years. I can be relied on to look after your pet… feed them, play with them, do a little pet yoga, and keep an eye on them for you. I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pet and give them one on one attention. I work part time and work from home. I have a dedicated space for my pet guests, giving them leisure of my living room area and there is a large gated space in the back of my residence if your pet needs outside time.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. In my house we had two dogs, a cat, a fish, two birds, and a lizard all at once. i took care of all of them and loved it :) I’m new to the area and have a part time job. i had to leave my dog with my family back home and am really missing that bond, I am very available to pet sit or even just take them on walks. My dog always slept in her crate because it was her safe space. I love to take dogs outside and let them run around and be happy, but i am also comfortable with having them inside and following any rules you may have.
About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs and genuinely love being around them. I have trained many puppies and have a senior dog to care for myself. I will be a safe and comfortable person for your beloved family member. I am a stay at home mom who is home most of the time. We enjoy going to parks and taking walks. I have a large fenced backyard with other furry friends to play with. I have a large fenced yard with 3 friendly beagles. Your pet will be welcomed into my home like they were mine. We are also a very active family.
About: I am very energetic! I love to play outside with dogs. I love to play fetch and ball. I love to play in the sprinkler with dogs. I love to go on runs with dogs and make sure they are having the best time! I am always excited to play with dogs! I always make sure that they have the option to use the bathroom and always have access to water so they never get dehydrated. If they take any medicine, I make sure I have an alarm that lets me know it's time for them to take it! I always make sure that the dog feels comfortable at all times, and I always keep the owner updated to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I know your dog is your best friend, but when you can't be there with them, let me take care of them until you can! I do have base access! I have a very open schedule throughout the week and would love to play with your fur baby while you are away! So don't you worry, they will definitely get loved on until you get back! One way I ensure your baby is safe is by always going outside with them even when it's bad weather! I try to always make sure that your fur baby feels calm and safe no matter the situation. Another way I make sure they are safe is ensuring they are not in an area they are not normally allowed in alone. If we were to go on a walk or an adventure, I'd make sure they have on their collar and leash and of course send you lots of pictures while we're out!

“Kentrice was very patient and understanding of CoCo, our mini Dachshund. Coco had been in our home for only 3 weeks when I had to go out of town for work. It was an adjustment for the both of us and the puppy in her was a little trying as she adjusted to the numerous transitions she was experiencing. Kentrice was very knowledgeable and share many many tips to aid in training CoCo which has been greatly appreciated.”
