Personalized care for your dog or cat - McCain
Highly-rated overnight sitters - McCain
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”

About: I have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I have raised dogs from the time they were bottle fed until they were seniors and trained them myself. I currently have a one-year-old golden retriever named Perseus. I have three kids who also love animals and will spoil yours rotten! I am currently taking online classes, so I am home all day and take frequent breaks to walk my dog or let him play outside. I have an unfenced yard, so I will keep the dogs on a leash when outside. My dog Perseus plays off leash but is supervised the whole time. He would love a friend to play with.
“Megan was so amazing! Before boarding Prince she allowed us to see where he would be staying which gave me peace of mind. While away she sent updates and pictures everyday. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby.”

“Natalie was so great with Remi! She kept me updated regularly with pictures and took him out on multiple adventures. We’ll definitely be booking with Natalie again in the future!”
“Brooke is amazing. She and her beautiful family welcomed Jack Jack with open arms and he immediately felt at home in her house. We were happy he was so comfortable and we are very pleased to see him just as happy when we picked him up. We plan on using her services again in the near future.”
“Rae absolutely loved staying with Ashley. I received daily updates and photos of her stay. Ashley and her dog Emma were very welcoming and made Rae feel right at home during her stay. I would highly recommend Ashley for future visits while in Savannah.”

“Brittani did an amazing job caring for our two kittens for over a week! It’s clear she truly knows and loves animals, which made all the difference. There’s no better feeling than being away from your pets and knowing they’re in such trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her 100%!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful while watching over my three cats, Ponyo, Beaux, and Niko during my trip to Texas. She had great communication the entire time, was always prompt, and made sure they were fed, played with, and that the litter boxes stayed clean. She was very friendly, easy to talk to, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cats in her care. It was also really reassuring to read about her education and background with animals, especially since Beaux is a senior kitty that I naturally worry about whenever I travel. It was great meeting her, and I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone needing pet care help. She genuinely gave me peace of mind while I was away. 💜”
“I have booked with her many times and she always does an excellent job. One day while I was out of town, she even took the time to help a poor lost dog that had taken refuge on my front porch. She is a great pet sitter and a very compassionate person!”
“This was our first time leaving our kitties for more than a couple of days and we were very nervous! Natalie was not only kind and easy to work with, but she genuinely seemed to care for our cats! She sent us 15-20 pictures per visit and we loved getting to see her play with and feed our babies! We also missed them so much it was just nice to see their little faces!”
“Emerald has done check-ins for my cat a couple times while I was out of town. She is very caring and reliable. She sent updates and photos for each visit. I feel that she went above and beyond in her services. I could see that my cat felt safe and loved her from the photos she sent, but also when we got home he was happy as could be.”
About: I have taken care of my oldest cat now for three years and more to come. I have also watched my coworkers cats making sure I came at least 2 times a day to feed, play, and clean the litter box after them. I would love to make new cat friends that I can look after.
About: I've had experience in handling and providing care for cats of all temperaments from my own to working with boarding cats at kennels and the SPCA. I am comfortable adminstering medicine through food or using a pill pusher or pill pockets. Growing up one of my cats had issues with her kidneys and I administered her pills with a pusher as it was the only way to reliability know she received her life saving medicine every morning. I have a young cat of my own who is a bit on the spunky side but I love him reguardless of all the sass! At the SPCA I made sure all our cats in the facility were fed and had a clean kennel. I enjoyed free time providing enrichment through play or for the more shy cats sitting quietly and allowing them to come and go as they pleased.
“Very happy with Camille's drop in on our kitties. She did everything we asked and more. Our cats felt comfortable enough to come greet her, which says a lot! Really great communication from her too. Will absolutely keep her in mind for future needs!”
“Jessica went above and beyond what we’d expect from our cat sitter! We are so grateful that we knew our cat was in good hands and that he’d get a lot of love while we were away! We highly recommend Jessica and would absolutely use her again!”
“If you want peace of mind for your pets while you are away, Holly will give you that!! She is wonderful. We loved getting the daily updates and photos/videos. The kitties were comfortable with Holly. She made them feel loved and well taken care of. She even went out of her way to bring in our house Amazon boxes that were delivered. We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - McCain
“Lucia was amazing with my two dogs. One of which is super shy but she made her feel so at home that in just two visits had her snuggle with her. Loved all the photos too! Definitely using her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Izzy – an educator and lifelong animal lover! I grew up with cats and dogs and now have two sweet, friendly pups of my own. I’ve worked at a dog grooming salon, cared for pets over school breaks, and love providing reliable care when pet parents need a helping hand. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a mellow homebody, I’ll adapt to their needs and give them all the love they deserve.

About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away!

I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!
About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!
“Rebecca took really good care of my boys. They were completely worn out by the time they got home. I really appreciate her quick response to my last minute request. She really saved the day keeping my 2, 8 month old puppies.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. We dropped our dog two days in a row for daycare, and he was very happy when we picked him and excited to return the next day. We will definitely go to Jennifer again when we’re back in Pinehurst.”

About: I’ve dog sat for my friends in this area on and off for years. I grew up on a ranch with animals and am comfortable with them. I have a 3 year old chocolate lab who absolutely loves friends to play with and has never had any issues with other dogs or people. I currently work part time, and have a lot of days with full flexibility. Most mornings after my kids go to school I’m free, and weekends or evenings my 12 year old and 8 year old love to walk with or play with dogs with me. My yard is fenced in, and my home is dog friendly. I’m happy to stay in clients homes as well if my schedule with my children allows. I don’t mind driving a bit to go to different neighborhoods for walking either.
About: I was born and raised with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I’ve never known a time in my life without animals! From farm animals to household pets, I’ve cared for them all. I’m a big proponent of positive reinforcement and prioritize gentle care and minimal stress for your pet. I’m comfortable with complex medical needs, seniors, and "quirky" pets. I’m happy to adhere to routines and training for continuity. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care that I treat my own ❤️ I’m doing animal care full time at the moment so I have a flexible schedule. I can work in midday visits, late night check ins, and multiple visits. Whatever works best for you! I’m happy to take your pup on neighborhood walks, play in the yard, or go on outings to Sniffspots or parks. I can drop in and check on your cats or spend time doing enrichment activities. I’ll treat your home with respect as I would my own and can take care of house sitting chores while you’re out of town. At my home, I have a large fenced yard and three very playful dogs. A large greenway runs through my neighborhood and is shaded for year round walks. I can crate your pup separately as needed.

I’m very active and adventurous. I love to explore, walk, cuddle and play with my furry friends but most importantly is what you know your animal wants and what they will be happy and comfortable with, and I will do just that.
About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - McCain
“Rex loved walking around with Bailey. She took great care of him. She was able to adjust well to his needs for his walks. I would absolutely recommend Bailey for those looking for a dog walker!”
“Melissa really cares about Jake and ensures he gets plenty of play and exercise . Melissa is dependable and punctual . Great communication ! We will continue to have Melissa care for Jake.”
“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. I taught my dog play dead. I also taught my mom’s dog to have great recall. I love dogs and am very passionate about them. I am currently working almost full time but I am available 2 days for sure free. I will also come before and after work to make sure that the pets are ok! I will make sure anything that could be poisonous will be out of reach. I will also check that the animals are acting like their normal selves.
About: **Unfortunately due to the app taking 20% of my pay, I’ve had to increase my pricing. Happy to work around this and discuss further** I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. From reptiles, small animals, cats and dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.
“Emetals stepped in on very short notice when my regular dog walker had an emergency, and she was amazing. She was incredibly responsive, warm, and worked with me to find the best schedule for my 7 month old puppy. What stood out most was how happy and relaxed my pup was when I got home. This tells me she felt comfortable and well cared for. That alone says everything to me about the care Emerald provided. I’d absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and absolutely love them. With 15 years of hands on experience, I am comfortable with most dogs. They are better than humans. I will take care of your pet as well as you would! I am part time and I am available Monday - Friday 10am-3pm. I can drop in and look after your dog or take them on a walk. I can occasionally dog boarding for short periods of time. If you’d like additional hours please let me know. I am available to walk your dog on the leash at their favorite locations. I am available to drop in and look after them for short periods a day.
About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs. I own an anxious queen who needs lots of special attention, and she’s taught me a lot of dog behavior and signs. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have all day to spend exercising your pup! I take my own dog on lots of walks, but am mindful of the heat and need for hydration. I pay attention to what the dog is comfortable with and love on them like they’re my own (treats, pets, play, encouraging words, etc.). If they need space, though, I understand.
About: My experience in pet care is extensive. From helping raise and train my own family dogs as child, to working at different animal facilities, I have experience in many different/difficult situations I may face. While I lived in New York I worked at a high end Doggy Daycare and boarding facility that prided itself in creating a certified "fear free" environment for dogs. In a daycare setting I handled and monitored up to 25 dogs in a safe and ethical way. I learned how to read different dog body language cues and how to handle small to XL size dogs. I took a lot of pride in the environment I created for my playgroups so dogs could enjoy safe, fun interactions with each other. I also worked as a kennel technician at the same facility. I did potty breaks for up to 50 dogs, cleaned kennels to propers standards and provided enrichment and feeding for all of our guests. I have experience in how to handle aggressive or stand offish dogs in a safe and manageable way. I also learned a lot about animal health and helped provide care for special needs guests who may have disabilities due to age or that were on seizure watch. Any issues or concerns I had health wise were immediately brought to my supervisors so it could be brought to the owners attention. I worked at Resorts Boarding and Play in two different times for about a year and a half total. After my time at this facility I worked at the SPCA Serving Erie County as an animal caretaker. It was here I gained more exposure to different temperaments in dogs and cats and how to work with them while also cleaning their kennels so they had a clean safe space to enjoy. I enjoyed helping all these pets in desperate need and watching them come out of their shells and experience joy more and more. It was one of the most rewarding parts of that job! When I moved to North Carolina I spent a few months working at 7 Lakes Kennels as a kennel technician again. I cleaned kennels and helped pair dogs for daycare play. I handled medicine distribution to dogs who needed it, cleaned potty yards and of course, played with many dogs! I again had previous experience in handling some tougher dogs so I was comfortable in helping others with some guests who had behavioral challenges. I also did feedings for the guests under my care for the day and took everyone out for potty walks at allotted times. Although I have only professionally been in the pet care industry for about 3 years I consider most of my life as experience from also doing all pet care for my animals growing up, including pushing pills for my childhood cat who had issues with kidney function. I fed all my childhood pets morning and night. I handled supplements for my goldendoodle who had hip and joint issues later in life. I have tons of techniques to help dogs take medicine in an enticing manner. I also made sure my dogs received 20-30 minutes of intense exercise a day to meet their large dog requirements as goldendoodles. They preferred playing ball but also enjoyed added on walks. I am sincerely passionate about providing top-notch care to pets and have shown that to many previous employers who always enjoyed my attention to detail and efforts to work with the animals regardless of any behavior issues or health concerns they faced. I am stay at home as of now so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I prefer to be at home rather than out so the only time I gone really is to run errands or be at the gym. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I do walk my dogs a bit or allow them to run around outside and play with them. I have a set feeding schedule for them. Breakfast is 8 am and dinner is 5 pm. I have done both of my dogs basic obedience myself as I'm looking to advance in the dog training field. I hope to start schooling soon to get my certifications. I have used different techniques for both of my dogs as they have different temperaments. I strive to understand my dogs thoroughly and work with them rather than force them into overwhelming situations. We always start small and build from there once they show they understand a concept or become more comfortable in a new environment. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I love them very much but I finds crates are a very helpful tool to help teach self control and give them a space they can call their own. I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for me through a text message or written out on paper. If you have any concerns I am happy to communicate with you while you are away! At one boarding facility we would send out pictures every three days of a fun activity we did with the dogs to help ease owners minds. I am more than willing to do something like that for you everyday! I totally understand the worry of being away from your best friends! I do ask if your dog boards with me that they come with their crate/kennel. I find it a bit easier for a dog to decompress in a new environment if they have something that is familiar for them. Blankets that smell like you are a plus. I am more than willing to clean toys and bedding before you come to pick up your buddy again. If you want feeding done at certain times I'm happy to do that as I have a free schedule just taking care of my home. Walks, playtime and interacting with dogs are must to keep spirits up while you are away so I am happy to provide these services as well! Of course attention and love is given regardless to any pet I am watching! I am comfortable adminstering medication according to labels or any supplements/treats you provide your pets! I ALWAYS listen to and watch dogs for body language cues. I find that respecting dogs leads to a much better relationship between caretakers and friends. I have extensive training through "The Dog Gurus" my first employer provided all employees. This taught me different play styles for breeds, how to monitor health through potty habits and what to look for in concerning poop. I learned the warning signs of seizures and how to handle them as well as what to watch for if a dog may have a parasitic infection. I was also taught signs of stress and techniques to help prevent them through providing familiar scents, toys or approach. I am aware of and use certain skills in approaching nervous dogs-become smaller and less threatening by turning your back slightly and not holding direct eye contact. I always allow a dog to approach me by offering my hand from a distance and letting them decide if they want to interact or not. For dogs who were sensitive or reactive about touch around their neck while working I used a "double slip lead" technique so I wouldn't have to get into their personal space while putting a lead on them. It also made it safer to remove a lead by never having to physically touch the dog, rather gently pull one lead attached around the other and they would both safely slip off the dog. Understanding a dogs temperament and triggers is vital for me to work safely and effectively with any dog I encounter or interact with. Please always offer all information on your dog to me during a meet and greet session. I would rather have "too much" information on your dog than feel like I'm scrambling with questions later on while you are away. I enjoy working with all different types of dogs and love learning about their personalities and things they enjoy. I feel confident in my skill level and experience to provide safe, loving, enjoyable care for all your four legged family members.

About: I have taken care of dogs and other kinds of pets since I was 14. My family and friends rely on me to come check in, walk, and play with their pets. I am available anytime during the day this summer. I do have a couple vacations already planned but I will communicate if something conflicts with the care you need for your pets! I have a fenced yard and 4 pugs that love to run around! My pets have plenty of toys they love to play with and they get fed twice a day. My cat also has plenty of toys and scratching posts, he also gets fed twice a day.
About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. Dogs are my favorite and I treat them as part of the family. I currently stay at home and homeschool my son. I have a very flexible schedule. In saying that, I am willing to work around your schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard that your dogs can run free in and have a great time. Or they have space to just lay in the sun, like most dogs enjoy doing at times :)
About: Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve spent time looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbors—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their personalities and needs so they feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be reliable and fully present for every visit. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and downtime—so nothing feels disrupted while you’re away. I spend quality time with each pet, not just quick visits, and always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I also keep you updated so you have peace of mind.
“Camille is the best with my dog Kuma! She is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I feel so safe with her taling him for walks while I am at work. She gives me peace of mind!”

So whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing gentle attention, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. I also have experience training and working with service dogs along with working with therapy animals as a mental health professional specializes in animal assisted therapy .

I am in the process of transitioning jobs that will give me more flexibility in my daily work schedule and I also work from home 2 to 3 days a week. During our meet and greet I will ask questions like how gates close, any holes in fences, if your dog is a digger, if your dog is leash reactive or reactive around other dogs, best way to enter the home so the dog isn’t scared or freighted, and how you would like your home locked up after the visit has been completed.
About: Hi, I’m Aileen! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two Aussiedoodles who are both 7 years old. They’ve taught me everything about caring for smart, active dogs—and how important it is to give them love, structure, and attention. I also have experience with cats! I recently helped care for my friend’s cat, including taking them to the vet and applying eye ointment. I know that cats need a gentle touch and lots of patience, especially when they’re not feeling their best. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I’ll make sure your kitty is well taken care of. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, or both—and I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I’m not currently working so I am very available to take care of furry friends of all types and sizes. Five more words needed to submit I will comply with all directions given and be sure that all pets are safe. I encourage owners to review video footage to ensure they know I’m doing exactly as they asked.

“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”

About: I have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I have raised dogs from the time they were bottle fed until they were seniors and trained them myself. I currently have a one-year-old golden retriever named Perseus. I have three kids who also love animals and will spoil yours rotten! I am currently taking online classes, so I am home all day and take frequent breaks to walk my dog or let him play outside. I have an unfenced yard, so I will keep the dogs on a leash when outside. My dog Perseus plays off leash but is supervised the whole time. He would love a friend to play with.

Not only did he eat all his meals, but got along great with the other pets I will never let anyone else take care of our fur baby. Branden and Nikki are the best ever!”
