About: Hi! I am 32 years old and I have been a groomer for 14 years. I owned my own grooming salon and sold the business to return back to college. I am Fear Free and AKC SAFE groomer certified which means I know how to handle animals safely and trained in animal behavior. I would love the opportunity to take care of your babies promising you they will be safe and loved! ❤️I also still groom small dogs under 40 lbs. If you are interested in a groom message me (: I attend college online at ECU so I am available any day or time. I do need a few hours a day to spend doing my school work, which won’t affect drop ins or walks, but if I’m house sitting I would do this work from your home (: I understand that every dog is different so I am very flexible on what kind of care you need for your pet. If you want a stroller walk for senior pets or a run for an active dog or if you simply just want me to play fetch in the house. You know what your babies need the best!

“Rose was phenomenal! She was great at sending us pictures and keeping us updated on how our sweet girl was doing. Kobi was so well taken care of and we truly appreciate you so much! Next time we come down to the Outer Banks we’ll be sure to reach out. Thank you again.”

“Sam was an excellent sitter for my dachshund. I received lots of updates (even from a creek!), and he seems to have had a lot of fun. I can tell he enjoyed staying with Sam and I will definitely bring him back :) 5 stars all around”

“Rachel came on a last minute request to care for my senior dogs for a day and from the photos she sent I could see they loved her! It’s always nice to know the fur babies are in good hands. She was very communicative and I did not worry about them all day!”

“Renee is great! My first time seeking a sitter as I went out of town and I will most definitely trust her to do it all over again in the future. She is reliable, respectful, communicative, trustworthy and most of all she is great with our dogs! 100/10 would recommend!”

Eva N.

“A thorough and reliable sitter for our 2 cats (although 1 of them never appears for new people). Maisie showed up every day, always a good sign.”

Cathy M.

“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”

About: Lifelong Pet Lover & Dedicated Caregiver Pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently share my home with two cats, one dog, and pet turtles, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone they can trust while you're away, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your fur babies. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. From energetic puppies to independent cats—and even shelled friends—I genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all kinds and making sure they receive the love and attention they deserve.

“We came to vacation in Nags Head and needed a sitter for our young (and recently adopted) dog while we went to dinner. Meagan did a great job keeping her calm, took her out a few times and got her to eat (which we had also been struggling with). Would book again!”

Kate S.

“Hannah was absolutely incredible! She took amazing care of our kitties and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day, which we truly appreciated as self-proclaimed crazy cat parents! Knowing they were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We also had a last-minute schedule change and Hannah was incredibly accommodating and so kind throughout the process. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah! 💖”

Bre L.

“Mrs. Rose and family took great care of our little Shirley. We feel very confident and comfortable with them. Our kitten was also comfortable. I believe she really enjoyed herself. We even received pictures as to how she was doing. It really put us at ease.”

Rubetta T.

“Tara always provides good information about her time with our dog. I would recommend Tara”

Lisa J.

“Nicole took fantastic care of Wilbur! We felt like he was in great hands beginning to end. He was the same happy little guy when we picked him up, and Nicole took some really cute pics of him looking happy and cozy in her care.”

Leslie W.

“Tracy is a wonderful dog person and was very accommodating to my schedule. My dog was comfortable at their house right from the get-go and Tracy sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay.”

Katy F.

“Teddy & Mini had a blast! They had so much fun that they were sleeping on the drive home. Thank you Michelle for taking care of my babies like they were your own! Definitely recommend this sitter & will be booking again if we are ever in the area again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.

“One of the most professional dog sitters I have encountered on this app. I have been using the Rover app for a while and she is hands down the most qualified. I was amazed at the set up she has for the dogs and how charismatic she was to all her guests. Very attentive and gives updates throughout your pups stay. If you need a dog sitter in the outer banks, I highly recommend her!”

Caleb G.

About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.

About: I’ve grown up with pets and I love them so much. I truly believe each one is born a sweetheart, and each of them deserve the happiest life we can give them! Currently unemployed, so I am very flexible with my availability! I would be happy to come watch your pets for a couple hours/days, take them for walks, or just play and get their all of their energy out! Each pet has their unique personalities and needs and learning these are important when taking care of any animal! If your pet is a more independent soul, like my oldest cat, then it is good for me to know, so I don't upset them by getting in their personal space! Or if your pet has specific health issues and medicines, like my dog did, then I want to make sure I'm aware of it and can get them the help they need!

“Renee helped us out while we were on vacation and unexpectedly needed to have our pup walked & checked on. Communication was easy and responses were prompt. I had never used a dog care service like Rover but am glad the need came up. It was a positive experience. I will use again the future if the need arises.”

Stephanie B.

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13. I used to volunteer at a humane society and now partake in “adopt a dog for a day” at our local shelter! It’s always such a great time and i’d love to give a hand to anyone who needs it with pet care. I’m currently working part time with a super flexible schedule and open to all sorts of activities! I do have transportation and can usually work my schedule around anything. I have lots of space for pups to run around and play. I also love walking through the woods/beach or going to the dog park with doggos. I am equipped with lots of treats and am ready to take on anything.

I also send frequent pictures of your fur baby if desired.

“Meagan is truely a sensitive and caring dog whisperer, at a time we needed someone to help out with Luna, a newly adopted rescue dog with a traumatic history. Luna quickly trusted Meagan for walks, and overnight dog sitting when we could not be there, and blossomed into a more confident and trusting dog under her care. Luna adopted her as part of the caring human pack which she can now depend on. We definitely look forward to further visits, whenever her schedule matches with Luna's needs.”
