“Danielle is amazing! She took care of our dog as if he was her own and kept me updated with videos and pictures every day. I have nothing but a heart full of gratitude for her. I am Lucky to have found her. Thank you for everything Danielle! ♥️”
“Our pets' second family. Mitzi and her kids are wonderful with our two dogs and she took the time to send us both photos and videos while we were away which made a huge difference in our being able to enjoy a vacation. Our schnoodle, Tink, takes some time to warm up to people and Mitzi made sure that she was comfortable and waited for her to approach (and coached her son to do the same). They're now part of Tink's circle of trust. Our pomeranian, Tilley, can be a handful - but they embraced her energy and made sure that she also had a safe place when she needed it and followed all of our instructions about feeding them separately as Tilley tends to overeat. Without question - the absolute best people that we have ever found on Rover and you can completely trust your fur babies with them.”
“I have to admit, I had never used rover it was last minute. My usual boarders we're full, but i came across Valerie and her profile made me take that chance. Im so glad i did she was amazing! She sent pics everyday, she made my trip more relaxed and i was at ease. I will use her services again my dogs loved her.”
“Kelli and her family were so sweet. Katie was so well taken care of and loved cuddling with the family. I didn’t have to worry about anything. They were super accommodating.”
“Melissa has been wonderful with my cocker spaniel! My puppy was so excited to see her when she came to pick her up for boarding for our second time! She doesn't react like that to many people! Obviously she had been well loved while she was in Melissa's care earlier! I really appreciated the update texts and photos that she sends! I plan to use her again in the near future!”
“Rene took such good care of our sweet pup Archie while we went away for the weekend in the mountains. She sent pictures, videos and updates daily. She spent time snuggling him at night and making sure he had playtime during the day. I felt very reassured and was able to relax and have fun while away. She will be my go-to for future trips!”
“Scott and Heather are amazing with Riggs! We were updated daily with pictures and videos while on vacation and they are always very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Riggs always comes home happy and tired ;) We will continue to use them for our pet sitting needs!! Thanks again!!”
“I hesitate to give a great review as I want to be sure Sharon is always available for my Molly but that would not be fair so here goes. Sharon was fabulous. My old Jack Russell terrier needed a place to stay for three days and after several bad visits with others we found Sharon thru a neighbor. She communicated very well and sent pictures daily. I will definitely be using her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone and leaving her in Shekenia’s care was the best decision I could’ve made! I honestly don’t see myself leaving my dog with anyone else other than Shekenia because she’s just that dang good! I received daily updates and photos which I loveddd! I knew from the moment we met to do the drop off that I made the right choice. Her energy was everything and I knew my baby would be in great hands! 10/10 recommend!! Shekenia is the BEST!”
“Jeremy was great. We contacted him literally last minute and he accepted our request. They took great care of our pet while providing updates for us. Definitely recommend.”
“Milika did a wonderful job caring for my Moses. Got plenty of updates and pictures. She even accommodated his special food request, to ensure he wasn’t too sad to eat. Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. 10/10 recommend.”
“Luis has been great with Winnie. She has had 3 accidents in our 2 trips with him and he was very patient and understanding with her and with us. Highly recommend! His Dog Elvis is also a team player and great with other dogs.”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Our Molly had the best time with Lorraine. Could not have asked for a better experience. She is so nice and genuinely loves dogs. So happy to have found her and will definitely use again.”
“Our first time boarding our two Shih Tzus with Hilary and she did an exceptional job taking care of them and working with us for scheduling. Hilary has the experience necessary to care for your pet the way they need. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”

“Jennifer has been amazing to work with. She is very professional, and really cares for your animals. Jennifer keeps you up to date on anything related to the visit, good or bad.

I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all of your animals' needs.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a little girl. My first cat Tiger was my best friend growing up. Now I have my own fur baby, Copper. I’ve taken care of family and friends cats numerous times, even as young as four weeks old. I can give oral medications, baths, trim nails, keep litter boxes clean and can manually stimulate newborn kittens to use the bathroom.

I also have a service dog who I've trained mostly on my own, with refinement help from a professional, so you can feel confident that your fur family will receive exceptional care and attention from a patient and knowledgeable handler. I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)!

“Teresa was prompt with the visits and left updates. I felt so at ease with having someone check in on my babies. I will definitely be re- booking with her in the future!”
“Olivia did a great job taking care of our gang and we look forward to using her again in the future. Great with dogs and cats alike. My dog, Lyla is usually skittish with new people but she went right up to Olivia and felt comfortable right away which is very important”
“Dawn was terrific! This was my first time leaving my cat in the care of anyone other than family or a close friend and Rover.com did not dissapoint! Dawn was reliable, professional, trustworthy and sent me regular pics! She took very good care of my kitty and eased my anxiety about leaving her alone. Dawn even checked my mail and watered my plants while she was here! I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Jeneen did a wonderful job with my cat. He tends to be very shy around new people but he seem to really take to Jeneen. She is very reliable and was very good about following instructions. Everyday I was gone she sent me pictures and video of my baby.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since my early teens. I have a strong passion for dogs and love to care for them. I am very accustomed to dogs with behavior issues and bad anxiety because my own dog struggles with that. I can also handle both small and large dogs. I love taking my dogs on walks and also occasionally will find an easy trail to hike on with them. I would love to bring your dogs on nearby trails or stick to easy walks based on the dogs energy levels. I do stay overnight and house sit if requested. I’m currently working part time (short hours 2 days a week) so i’ll have plenty of time to play with and look after your pups! I unfortunately cannot care for your dogs at my own home because one of my dogs is not friendly towards other dogs, but I am more than happy to watch your dogs at your home! I can stay overnight with your dog if requested.

Throughout my life, I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs and currently share my home with a sweet Shih Tzu who keeps us smiling every day. He loves to make new playmates.

“Rachel is a super star sitter! She watched Shasta all day for 3 days while I was in Raleigh working from out of town. My pup Shasta loves her. Normally he doesn’t want to leave me but he walked off happily with Rachel from my hotel where she kindly met us every morning and evening for drop off. Rachel’s communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet lover. I’m a vet student in the making. Caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s part of my future career. I take the time to really get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s helping a puppy burn off energy and learn basic manners, or giving a senior pet the extra patience, comfort, and gentle care they deserve. Because I’m passionate about animal health, I pay close attention to things like eating habits, energy levels, and behavior changes, so I can spot if something seems off and communicate that to owners right away. I’m also comfortable handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs.nFor me, pet sitting isn’t just “watching” animals it’s making sure they’re safe, happy, and thriving, while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. Pet care is something I fit naturally into my day. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or some playtime to make sure pets start the day happy and active. If I have classes, I plan my schedule so I can come by for potty breaks, belly rubs, and some one on one time in between. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks, heading to a park, or just spending time playing or relaxing together. Weekends are perfect for extra adventures like exploring trails, visiting pet-friendly spots, or giving them some extra grooming and attention. For me, pets aren’t something I try to “fit in” around my day they’re part of it. I love making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need, no matter how busy my schedule gets. Whether in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I pay close attention to a pet’s personality, habits, and routines so I can adapt my care to their comfort level, whether that means providing a quiet, calm environment for shy pets or engaging in active play for more energetic ones. I also make it a point to send regular updates, photos, and notes to owners so they feel reassured and connected while they’re away. In my own home, I designate safe areas for rest, play, and meals, and I make sure fresh water is always available. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely everything from where the pet sleeps to how they like their walks so the pet’s routine is not disrupted. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, cared for, and happy, no matter the environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed play watch their pets Ask me I’m free most days and will update my calendar during times I’m unavailable but sometimes I am up for more so you can send the request and ask still I get along well with all types of dog&cats I love to play with them feed them walk go to the dog park etc just ask me anything you need to know I am available most days. I am currently not working. Feel free to Ask me if you have any more questions. I usually respond pretty fast On my meet and greet, I ask them their expectations and I follow them. I also try to go above and beyond. I enjoy making the family happy along with the animals
“Athena was in her element - running, playing, and enjoying the companionship of her canine relatives! What a special day and place for Athena to spend time being a ‘puppy’ with such joy. Thank you Melissa”
“Skirla (aka Sorel) is great! Sushi normally barks and growls at everyone but not her! I feel comfortable leaving my baby with her for my week long vacation and will book again when the need arises.”
About: I don’t have any special skills but I treat every pet with care, patience, and attention. I’m reliable, I communicate, and I always follow instructions. I am full time student during the week so I don’t have a work schedule to get in the way of pet care. Not having a job means that my weekends are open and flexible. This means that I can give your pet my full attention during their stay with me. When I care for pets in my home I make sure that they are comfortable and I treat them as if they are my own. I follow their normal routine and special instructions given.
About: I love all animals, I’ve dog sit in the past for families and really enjoyed it. I have prior experience with small dogs, along with larger ones. I’m looking for openings in the Louisburg area. Looking forward to have the opportunity to work with different animals and meeting new people in the area. I believe you have to be patient with all animals and pets especially when you are first meeting them. Always keeping in mind that it’s going to take time for them to warm up to a new person caring for them. I’m currently taking a break from nannying, and have a huge love for animals. I’ve had pets all my life. From cats, fish, hamsters, and dogs; to birds, snakes, iguanas and bearded dragons! I’m excited and can’t wait to meet your pets!! :) Being respectful of people’s homes, personal spaces and overall privacy. My main focus is the well being of the animal, making sure they’re taken care of.
About: I’ve taken care of the family pets since I was 8. I grew up on a small farm which taught me how to take care of and to love the animals. I’ve taken care of animals from pigs to goats to chickens. Even cows and a horse. I got my first puppy at 15. I learned how to take care of her needs. We now have a cat, a dog, and a bunch of chickens. I work from home! So no worries about time. I make my own schedule so you will never have to worry about finding someone to help! Your pets will be treated just like they are one of ours! Lots of love, attention and playing. My husband and I just got our first dog together in August ‘24. My husband is a veterinary so I have learned lots of things from him!
“Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.”
“Kerri and her husband are amazing dog sitters. They sent me pictures and videos during the day and I could see that Ollie had a great time. I highly recommend Kerri and will bring Ollie back when I need another doggy day care.”
About: Whether you're heading out for a weekend or a longer trip, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I offer personalized dog sitting and comfortable home-based boarding where your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, daily walks, playtime, and a calm environment. With a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs, I treat every fur guest my own —because your fur baby deserves nothing less. Care for my fur guest fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day, whether it's for feeding, potty breaks, walks, or just some comforting company. I’m able to maintain a calm and consistent environment where pets feel safe and cared for. Being home full-time means my fur guest will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adapt to their individual needs and routines. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or special care instructions. My fur guest have access to cozy resting areas, safe indoor and outdoor spaces, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know how they are doing. My goal is to create a stress-free, happy stay that gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Vanessa was amazing with my puppy! It's our first time leaving him since we got him and I was nervous but Vanessa sent updates throughout the day and let us know he was doing great! We have a border collie so know that he has a lot of energy and requires a of exercise and we can tell he had a lot of fun running around her yard because he slept the whole ride back home! Would definitely recommend Vanessa and already rebooked another session!”
“Beast can't wait to visit Ms. Judy and Autumn he is always excited and running to the door. Ms. Judy is so sweet and nurturing I feel comfortable at work knowing she is caring for him. I was very apprehensive with placing him in day care this is his first experience, she puts my mind at ease with all the photos and communication throughout the day.”

“Jennifer is amazing. I will use her again. We went away for a full week and she came to my home and took amazing care of our corgi, Khloe while we were gone. She took her on walks, fed & played with her. Khloe has never, in almost 10 years been boarded and I’m so glad we found Jennifer. She was able to stay in her own home while we were gone & be loved and cared for by a new friend. Use her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Jennifer and thank you Rover.”

About: I've taken care of raising my kids in a pet-friendly environment for many years that stems from a childhood of taking every stray pet I could get past my mom. I have best friends in the pet rescue business as well as pet transport. All of our pets have been considered family all the way through their lives. I cherish any pet like I gave birth to them and have instilled that in my kids, grandkids, and anyone I could embark on having that conversation with. The majority of the photos you see in my profile are my grand-fur-babies as well as our forever family members that started out as rescues that are still present in our lives by moving on with my daughter in her adult life. She is also on Rover in Colorado if you know or need pet lover's help out there. Since Covid devastated this nation and my business I have been in NC helping take care of my grandkids with my ex-son, I have now moved to Lake Royale in NC permanently to be closer to my grandkids. I am home every day and have an open loving schedule to share the love I am full of for anything that comes my way. God is so Good! I have an open welcoming loving heart, a knack for customer service, and strive for attention to detail. Our home is warm, full of love, and ready to keep your fur babies safe, spoiled, and content. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced yard but I am in a safe community, have a large yard, and would never walk/let your fur baby out without a proper safety harness and leash. My schedule is flexible since I am retired. My love for animals is why I love being able to use this platform. I use River when I go visit my grandkids 3 times a year. I live the Lake Royale community so have gate access. I live full time in my 38 foot Class A Motorhome until my cottage is done being built. I am a stickler about ensuring your pet is on leash when outdoors. while indoors as long as other clients pets are friendly and willing pets will be able to roam freely. Crates are recommended for overnight stays or if pets will not get along.
About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I am an experienced animal trainer and vet tech. I worked at a clinic for 7+ years as a veterinary technician (including exotics!) and as a trainer and handler in a professional animal studio where I was in charge of animal (and people!) training. Have a special needs dog or one with quirky behaviors? I will work with you and with them. I can give medications, do walks, do short training sessions and will clean up after your pet. I am willing to work with and accomodate all types of dogs and other pets. I can even do some basic training sessions if requested during any visits. I have flexible availability and am able to be there early mornings to late nights to care for your furry friends. Personally, I am used to a multipet household as we have dogs, cats, and chickens.

About: I was adopted by my first cat in 2000 and have dog-and cat-sat for friends and co-workers ever since. Having moved to a farm 3 years ago, I’ve also cared for our neighbor’s horses, chickens, and guinea fowl. In general, I respect all pets' boundaries and love to find their individual personalities. I have a lot of experience with various temperaments and personalities, and am sensitive to the needs and quirks of every animal I meet. I've bottle-fed newborns, given oral medications (pills and liquid), applied topical ointments, and given fluid injections to cats with renal failure. I'll honor any preferences you have for caring for your cats (e.g., feeding times, fresh water daily, etc.). My wife and I have rescued and fostered cats for the last 10 years, so I’m familiar with a variety of health issues and quirky behaviors. And I scoop litters! At the moment I work remotely from home, so I can flex my schedule around any specific times you may need. Driving long distance is not a deal-breaker for me. Most of our cats are indoors but have access to a fenced-in portion of the back yard. We feed them wet food twice a day (morning and night) and snack them with dry food throughout the day. Each one gets playtime throughout the day, and the only "rules" are no cats on the kitchen counters. People have told us that when they die, they hope to come back as a cat we take care of. Given the number of cats we have, I'm unable to board any pets.
“Cheryl is 10+/10. She is accepting and the BEST in caring for my deaf sweet, sometimes determined Jack Russell mix who has her own mind. We were truly blessed when Cheryl came into our lives.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets my whole life from chinchillas, birds, huskies, cats and now mom to two pitbulls. I can handle all types of pets except reptiles. I am a stay at home mom seeking some extra money by pet sitting and dog walking. I raised my youngest pitbull since she was 4 weeks old. I believe in treating pets as part of the family. I have an extremely flexible schedule. My family and I live in Louisburg so I’m looking to find pets to care for relatively close by which will allow me to offer more walks and visits per day. I am excited about this new opportunity and look forward to meeting all your wonderful dogs, cats and other furry friends! I am a stay at home mom and manage the family tree service NC Tree Specialist LLC. I love animals and can’t wait to take care of yours. I am very responsible and will treat your babies just like my own. They will be safe and treated with kindness and respect when they are in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed play watch their pets Ask me I’m free most days and will update my calendar during times I’m unavailable but sometimes I am up for more so you can send the request and ask still I get along well with all types of dog&cats I love to play with them feed them walk go to the dog park etc just ask me anything you need to know I am available most days.

“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”
About: I have a long history in working with animals and I have a lot of clients that I actively petsit for. I have worked with diabetic dogs, puppies, seniors, cats/kittens, special needs and aggressive breeds. I am highly trained and have a great relationship with animals. I have had pets in my care for over 10 years. I have a very outgoing personality so I get along extremely well with animals. I am very reliable, honest and punctual. Your pets and home are in the best possible care with me. I currently work from home, therefore I am able to give my animals and other animals the high amount of attention they need. Sticking to a routine comes naturally as I am extremely flexible in my stay at home job. I love making time for the fur babies. I make sure food, water, toys, attention and exercise are priorities. It is important to ensure a proper routine is followed. I love giving animals my love and attention as they are just like people. My guaranteed promise to my clients is that your pets will be well taken care of.
About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.

She sent pics everyday, she made my trip more relaxed and i was at ease. I will use her services again my dogs loved her.”
“Kelli and her family were so sweet. Katie was so well taken care of and loved cuddling with the family. I didn’t have to worry about anything. They were super accommodating.”
“Melissa has been wonderful with my cocker spaniel! My puppy was so excited to see her when she came to pick her up for boarding for our second time! She doesn't react like that to many people! Obviously she had been well loved while she was in Melissa's care earlier! I really appreciated the update texts and photos that she sends! I plan to use her again in the near future!”
“Scott and Heather are amazing with Riggs! We were updated daily with pictures and videos while on vacation and they are always very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Riggs always comes home happy and tired ;) We will continue to use them for our pet sitting needs!! Thanks again!!”
“I hesitate to give a great review as I want to be sure Sharon is always available for my Molly but that would not be fair so here goes. Sharon was fabulous. My old Jack Russell terrier needed a place to stay for three days and after several bad visits with others we found Sharon thru a neighbor. She communicated very well and sent pictures daily. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Jeremy was great. We contacted him literally last minute and he accepted our request. They took great care of our pet while providing updates for us. Definitely recommend.”
“Milika did a wonderful job caring for my Moses. Got plenty of updates and pictures. She even accommodated his special food request, to ensure he wasn’t too sad to eat. Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. 10/10 recommend.”
“Luis has been great with Winnie. She has had 3 accidents in our 2 trips with him and he was very patient and understanding with her and with us. Highly recommend! His Dog Elvis is also a team player and great with other dogs.”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Our first time boarding our two Shih Tzus with Hilary and she did an exceptional job taking care of them and working with us for scheduling. Hilary has the experience necessary to care for your pet the way they need. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Vanessa is outstanding, she was always in communication and attentive to everything regarding my dogs needs especially with him being timid at times she ensured a smooth transition when meeting the other dog so he felt 100% comfortable and safe at his own pace which I greatly appreciated. My dog was not ready to leave when I came to pick him up that’s how much he loved it there. She’s truly wonderful and will ensure your dog has the most fun and gets all the care possible. We will certainly be coming back to her again!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“Carol and her family were very welcoming of Remy and they took him in right at the last minute as another dog sitter did not work out due to other dogs being a little aggressive. Carol and her family took a risk having a new dog that has not been introduced to their dog and I am so grateful of that. When I came back to pick up Remy they had nothing but compliments of how well behaved my dog was as I knew my dog is very well behaved and gets along with everybody. I highly recommend Carol and her family for anybody looking for a dog sitter.”
“I cannot recommend Ashley and her girls highly enough- best dog sitters ever!! Arriving for drop off we were greeted with a custom welcome sign which was the sweetest thing ever. They took the such good care of our noodle we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us! Ashley and her girls made sure he felt right at home and I have no doubt he was sooo loved on. . They made sure he got ample play time and walks. They provided us with regular updates and photos. It was such a relief to know our pup was with a family that loved and cared for him like Ashley and her girls do! He will definitely be back!!”
“Jerry was an amazing sitter, he checked all the boxes! Now I wouldn’t recommend doing what I had to do, but I was super late notice when I messaged him for services. He was incredibly flexible and kind The Whole process. He Sent me photos of my baby where I could actually tell he was comfortable where he was. Will def book again!”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
