“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“David was a great sitter for my great pyrenees. He updated me with info on how she was doing daily and sent pictures of her enjoying herself. He was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had and I felt at ease leaving my dog with him. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area.”
“We left our dog Harley with Tracy again, this time for a week and she was great! Super communicative and send us lots of updates and pics which we appreciated! We are grateful to have found such a a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Amanda was wonderful to my girl. She treated her like one of the family and my Zorra played with her dogs and she has a nice fenced in area to play. She crated her at night and met all her needs. Amanda was very flexible with my crazy schedule and was also very knowledgeable about dogs. Will book again. Higher 5 star recommend.”
“Mickey had a great time with Hannah and her cutie dog Wally. She sent us many photos and photos from his stay with her. Using Rover has changed our life and his. He is much happier going to a Rover home. We are very very happy with Rover! Thanks so much.”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
About: Since childhood, I've been surrounded by dogs, dog training and field trial competition. I've cared for dogs, cats, pigeons, fish, hamsters, gerbils, and horses and I enjoy each creature's personality and gifts. I've worked in the hospitality industry my whole life and now, I'm looking forward to spending my time with my family, my animals, my crafts and travel. Part time pet care allows me to do all of that! Taking care of other folks' animals is a pleasure for me. Our beloved pets simply want activity, love, and care...and FOOD! I'm very comfortable with senior pets or young animals, and can adapt to each animal's need for interaction. I'm experienced following detailed instructions, administering medications, and adhering to schedules and routines. I also like hanging with your animal -- sometimes a pet wants to know there's someone there for them. I love taking photos of animals and sharing them with their pet parents! I am semi-retired and focus my time on my family - husband and twin teenage boys, our 2 dogs, 1 cat, many chickens, and houseplants. I have time throughout my day to take care of indoor and outdoor animals. I'm flexible and can care for your animals solely at your home or, for dogs, I can bring them out to walk on our local trails. I have a large minivan with kennels inside so your dog will travel comfortably and safely. I keep my cell phone off when I drive and I travel directly from your home to a walking trail/area. I never mix errands with dog walking and prefer to walk dogs without earbuds/headphones so I am aware of our surroundings at all times.
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“Although she only watched my dog for a short time, I feel that Jade‘s really took very good care of him. Almost as much as I would. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and always kept me up-to-date on how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again the next time I am in Durham.”
“Anna was exactly what I was looking for. Someone kind who loves animals and took my Sophie in and treated her like family. I was given updates and pictures on how she was doing. This was the safest I have ever felt being away from my baby:)”
“Mary is fantastic! She took both my dogs for a week and they were cared for in a safe place with exercise, tons of snuggles, a beautiful fenced yard, and the company of her two friendly dogs. The easy communication with Mary and her easy going attitude makes you feel like you are leaving your dogs with a trusted friend you’ve known for years . This has been the most positive pet sitting experience I’ve ever had using Rover. Thank you Mary for looking after the doodles like your own.”
“My little chihuahua had an amazing time boarding at David’s house! Communication was easy and seamless, and sent me lots of great photo updates throughout her stay. Would board her with David again anytime!”
“Scott and Alyse are the absolute best! They have been sitting our dogs for years now and they never disappoint. Our dogs get so exited when we pull up to their house and it’s obvious that they have fun during the stay. It’s great to know our babies are happy and in great hands whenever we travel. Thank you Scott and Alyse!”
“Phoebe and her family were great with Tobi and gave us lots of updates and pictures. She was also accommodating of a last-minute booking when another sitter had to cancel. We will definitely work with Phoebe again! Thank you!!”
“Erin and her hubby are amazing! They took such good care of my pup, sent daily pics and vids, and even administered her meds. My baby girl had a great time on her “vacation” and got along well with Lani. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using them again! Thanks so much, Erin!”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”

“We couldn't be happier with the care our seven cats received from Erika! She visited twice a day from Wednesday through Saturday, handling feedings, litter boxes, and most importantly, spending an hour each visit keeping everyone company. Managing a large group of cats is no small feat, but she handled it beautifully and gave us total peace of mind while we were away for our son's wedding. She is reliable, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. We highly recommend her and will absolutely look to book her again!”
“McKenna was absolutely wonderful taking care of our cat Arya! She followed all of our care guidelines and feeding routines perfectly, sent great photos and updates with every drop-in visit, and gave Arya plenty of love and playtime. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Arya was in such reliable and affectionate hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking McKenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!”
“Autumn did a fantastic job during her drop-in visits with my cats over the holidays. She was even able to coax out my incredibly shy cat after the second day! With detailed updates and responsive communication, Autumn set my mind at ease knowing the cats were in capable hands. Highly recommend.”
“Nicole did a great job watching my two cats. She dropped by to see them before I left town, listened carefully to my instructions and seemed like a pro. While I was gone, Nicole fed my cats exactly on schedule and was a wonderful communicator. She played with my cats and even got my shy one to interact with her. Nicole took lots of photos and left my key exactly where I wanted her to. I hope that it works out that I can book Nicole again in the future.”
“Hanna is terrific. We are so pleased with how good she was with our cat. She administered insulin, fluids and oral meds and she monitored all of his health issues carefully. She also gave him lots of attention with brushing. We were very concerned as to how he would do because he is very dependent on me and has a lot of health challenges. But he did great. We will definitely be hiring Hanna again!”
“Justin did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties Phoenix and Cici while we were away! He was extremely professional, communicative, and very thoughtful. 5 stars all around!”
About: For the past 15 years, I've worked as a professional pet sitter. This has included providing long term care for several cats, one of which required daily medication and specialty care. I also have two kitties of my own and am a huge cat lover! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Perfect for high energy dogs - McDade
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog caregiver who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very observant and hands-on, so pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will receive lots of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I work from home and have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog(s). I wake up early so we can get outside before it gets too hot. Happy for short or long stays! I have an acre fenced yard that is reinforced every few inches that is full of fun and smells and space to run. They will always be supervised, and indoors there is lots of cozy spots to lay and/or cuddle.
“Jade was the best! She is so sweet and caring, our puppy is only 6 months old with a lot of energy and growing so big and Jade watched her for several days in a row. She noticed multiple habits and quirks we forgot to mention and definitely developed a bond with our pup in the time she watched her. Jade was very intentional with updates which we appreciated overall we highly recommend, we would definitely book again (:”
“Amanda’s property is great for my active dog. Brandy enjoys playing, running and Jumping and this property has it. Brandy played with many dogs and came home all tuckered out. I will be booking Brandy again soon. I would recommend.”
“David was great with our 12 week puppy! Super awesome communication and very understanding of our anxiety as new puppy parents. Percy came home tired and happy. He cannot wait to go back!”
“A great first experience using Rover! Our Finley had the best time, playing and being loved on. What a warm and inviting family, sent lots of pictures and videos. They even gave our pup a bath after they got into some mud. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!! ❤️”
“Mocha had such a great experience today! Cathryn was kind and made sure mocha felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine love shown toward her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services.”
“Bubba had an amazing time with Adrien and David!! We were worried as first time, dog owners and with her being so young (10 weeks), but they made her first experience at doggy daycare seamless! Could not recommend them more highly!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From my first mixed-breed pup in high school to raising my first Siberian Husky from just 3 months old, I've always loved caring for dogs. Honestly, I wish I'd known sooner that I could get paid to spend time with these amazing companions! I've house-trained my own furry babies and have loved watching them grow up alongside my hooman kiddos. Seeing the bond between them has been incredibly rewarding. Our home is full of love, and we can't wait to welcome your pup into it. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or snuggling, they'll be treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and care while you're away. I work from home and with both my kids now in school I have plenty of time to play and belly rub your fur babies throughout the day! I have a fenced yard with a friendly husky who loves to keep company to all hoomans and pups alike! I also have 2 kids who adore dogs—it’s a constant game of who gets who tired first. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Anitra was so quick to respond! She would send me pup updates throughout the day. Seeing Sydney in a calm and loving place made my day easier knowing she was well taken care of and it was plus seeing the dog park right next to her home! Would highly recommended!!”
“Jill is always absolutely amazing to work with! Luna loves Jill and she feels right at home every time she goes over for pet sitting! Thank God for Jill and her gifts to connect and treat my furbaby like family!! I love the pics, videos and updates throughout the day!! Just PERFECTION!!!”
“Our pup loved Zydae and her 2 dogs. A very balanced and sweet bunch who took our dog Mars in just like one of their own. He was eager to arrive for day care each day. We appreciated the help and the loving touch.”
“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”

About: Hi! I love all animals and pets. I grew up with guinea pigs, hamsters, and gerbils at home and have pet sat for cats and dogs since I was a kid. Since 2020, my family has been involved in a service dog organization. We have fostered and helped train and care for numerous puppies and adult dogs. In addition to puppy training, I also have experience with reactive dogs and giving pills. I'm comfortable with various energy levels and temperaments. I can follow specific routines, reinforce training, and provide both physical activity and mental stimulation to keep your dog happy and healthy. I am currently enjoying summer break and working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Cuddling with pets or getting outside for a walk would be easy and great additions to my day! I cannot board pets due to roommate allergies, but I am happy to care for your pet in your home. I am currently on summer break so my schedule has a lot of flexibility, including during the week and over weekends. I will strive to build trust with you and with your pet, and will communicate thoroughly and diligently. Doing a meet and greet and covering and special needs and preference will help me care for your pet the way that you need! I will exercise your pet or cuddle with them. I will walk your dog in your neighborhood, take them to a trail or to a park, play with them using their favorite toys, and help with training. The most important thing for me is that you and your pet are both happy and comfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of different pets my whole life! I’ve always had a ledger dog, but love animals in all shapes and sizes. I am an avid walker, and would love to take your animal out on walks or stay with them during a vacation! I am starting my nursing job the 20th and am available most days that I am off after I start. I am an early riser and usually go on a walk in the morning and throughout my day! I am in an apartment with lots of trails and dog parks within walking distance. My complex is extremely pet friendly, with a dog park/ play area on the property.
“Sierra was fantastic with our dog! She was communicative with us and sent us beautiful photos of our dog on their walks! It was obvious he felt totally comfortable and happy with her. We’re grateful for her work and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Nicole K. is awesome with dogs & cats. She texted me when she started her walk with Dixie & when she was done. I got the route she walked & also got pictures. It made me feel very comfortable leaving her in such good hands. Nicole is a sweet & caring person.”
“Banjo LOVES his afternoon walks with Ashley! She picks him up and takes him for a walk around the neighborhood. He gets his exercise and gets to check out the neighborhood. We love using Rover and Ashley while we're at work. She sends us photos from their walks and Banjo's excited face says it all!”
“Hanna is an amazing dog walker! She walks my Great Dane who can be hard to handle but she does fine with him and he's always so excited to see her! I've used Hanna a few times per week for months now. She is always very communicative and gives plenty of notice if she needs an exception to they standard schedule. Whenever I need to go out of town she is also the first person I ask about dog-sitting! 100% recommend”
About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.
About: I have cared for a wide variety of dog and cat breeds over the last 10+ years. I love pets of all sizes and energy levels. I can walk dogs and pet sit as needed! I am flexible with time on most days of the week and afternoons/evenings every day. My weekends are usually completely open so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! You will get lots of pictures of your pet while I am watching them. I am gentle, patient, reliable, and trustworthy. I have experience with watching multiple pets at one time.
