“Caitlin was amazing and took great care of my boy while I was away for the weekend. She sent pics & videos which were very much appreciated❤️ I will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :))”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.
“Joseph and Destiny plus their pups were awesome! Friendly and took extra special care of our, not always perfectly behaved, fur baby! I will definitely be asking them to care for our pet again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and also my first time being away from my pup for a whole week. I couldn't be happier about how awesome Shawne was! She was very communicative, sent plenty of pictures and even has a sweet dog of her own (Piper) who my dog fell in love with! It really felt like my dog was having a great vacation while I was having a vacation of my own which was such a relief. I cannot recommend Shawne enough!”
“We had an amazing experience with Chasity! She communicated consistently and sent lots of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dogs absolutely loved their time with her, and it was clear they were treated with so much love and kindness. I felt completely confident leaving them in her care and will 100% be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah is amazing!!! I contacted her a few days before Christmas for an immediate spot and she responded immediately. I took Coby over and she spent time with us to make sure Coby would be a good fit with her pets. She sent pictures and updates regularly. Coby was very well cared for and would have been happy to stay a few more days! Thank you Sarah!!!”
“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”
About: With a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I’m here to give your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. I started pet sitting and dog walking back in middle school and never stopped—it’s truly a passion of mine! I’m patient, active, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My dog, who passed away a few years back, was a trained service animal and the sweetest boy. Whether your pet is shy or full of energy, I’m here to meet them where they are and make them feel right at home. I am self employed and work from home with a flexible schedule so I have time to dedicate to your pups and kitties! I can typically accommodate last minute bookings. As stated prior, my dog (who has now passed) was a service dog and went through safety training. I learned a lot throughout that course about pet handling and care. I am active and fit and can work with with animals from the smallest of kittens to the largest of pups!
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our Pepper. She provided daily updates and photos, and it was apparent that Pepper was enjoying his time with her. We highly recommend Michelle”

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, donkeys, pigs, fish, and the occasional duck or goose. I was responsible for a lot of their care before and after school, and I worked as a kennel technician for a couple of years. Currently I work on Duke’s campus with sick dogs in the pediatric department. I also just love animals! I’m good at attention to detail, cleaning up after pets, feeding/watering/medicating, and walking. I’m comfortable with any and all kinds of pets. I am a student, so I would be available for pet care before/at 12:30pm and after 4:30pm on week days, and available all day on weekends. I can also spend nights as needed. I am not able to keep pets in my dorm as it is against university policy but I would be more than happy to commute or spend nights for house/petsitting. I have done so before, and I do very well with this. I find it to be a fun experience
“Angie was great! She was reliable, communicative, and took awesome care of our cat. I loved the updates and photos, and it was clear our little guy felt right at ease and well cared for. Much appreciated!”
“Took great care of my kitties, and even convinced my scaredy cats to come out and play! 10/10 highly recommend, will be requesting her anytime I need a sitter!”
“Beth did a super job caring for my 2 cats, Coco Amity & Friendly Chanel!! She did everything I requested & more! She reported on my cats daily, took good & detailed photos, & let me know if anything was out of the norm regarding my cats & their surroundings! Beth is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, offers good suggestions, & is very engaging with her customers! She keeps to an agreed upon schedule, & took very good care of my pets, too!! I would highly recommend Beth, & hope to use her services in the future, too!!”
About: I grew up with cats. I got my first cat for my 6th Christmas. Many of my current clients also have cats, many with dogs. I love my feline toe bean furbabies just as much even if some can be shy some times.
About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
“Second time having Robyn check on my cat. Always does a great job and leaves plenty of pictures. Happy to know my cat has a friendly person to care for her while I’m away”
“Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!”

“My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing! Lola loved her play date with Jessica’s fur baby, Peanut, and having some time out of the hot sun! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing! I’ll definitely hit you up next time we visit Emerald Isle!”
About: What sets me apart is the heart I put into every tail wag and paw print I treat your pet like family! I have two friendly dogs who love making new furry friends, so your pup will have playmates and never feel alone. From fun fetch sessions to cozy cuddle breaks, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home. I learn their routines, quirks, and favorite treats, and I always keep you in the loop with updates and photos because peace of mind matters just as much as playtime! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it’s already part of our daily life! With two dogs of our own and a stay at home wife who loves animals just as much as I do, there’s always someone home to give your pet attention, playtime, and plenty of love. We keep a consistent routine, and caring for animals is something we truly enjoy not just a job. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just keeping them company, your pet becomes part of our pack and is never left out or alone. When your dog’s in my home, they’re part of the family. With my two friendly pups around, there’s always someone to play with and lots of love to go around. I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible feeding, walks, and chill time so they feel comfortable and happy. It’s all about making them feel safe and cared for, just like they’re home, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.
“I highly recommend Meg and her wonderful dog Wrigley! Meg communicates quickly, her home is very dog friendly, she loves dogs and my Golden Retriever was happy and secure under her care.”
“Addison did a fantastic job with Scout. She provided top-notch care, communicated well, and sent plenty of updates throughout the stay. It’s obvious that she makes visiting pets feel safe and comfortable. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her hands and will definitely use her services again!”
“Jasper came home from Michelle’s daycare clean, happy and exhausted. Michelle kept me updated with all the details and was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend Michelle’s service to all dog parents out there, she always has a tastefully designed home that is also dog friendly.”

“Tabitha did a wonderful job caring for Roscoe. He actually expected the "belly rubs" to continue upon my return home (LOL!). Now, I can travel with peace of mind knowing that Roscoe is in good hands.”

About: I have cared for pets for over 34 years. Friends and neighbors have relied on my services and I take great pride in caring for them I am currently retired after 30 years and am available to care for your pets at any time during the day/night, 7 days a week I have a secured fenced in yard that your pets will love to play in and 2 friendly dogs of my own. I have experience with giving medication if needed
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.
About: I have had all kinds of animals throughout my life... cats, dogs, fish, etc. I currently have a miniature schnauzer and an Australian labradoodle puppy. I also have experience with elderly animals and can give injections as well as administer oral medications. I am a lover of all animals! I recently rehabed a baby squirrel that was struck by lightening. It was so rewarding when I was able to release him back into the wild! Before moving to my current location I volunteered with the ‘Cats about town’ program. Cats about town is a trap, neuter/spay, release program to help control the feral cat population in town. I assisted with trapping and also feeding after their release. I am dependable and punctual and you can trust that I will take the best care of your babies! My schedule/availability varies. I try to keep my calendar up to date but please message me to see if I can help you with your pet. I will be glad to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. Play visits, potty breaks, medicine administration, feeding, bathing, etc. Also willing to take your pet to the park, beach, vet, etc. I hope to make your life easier and your pets happy!
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to farm animals. Whether your pet needs daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. Growing up in a small-town environment, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, goats, horses, and other farm animals. My goal is to make sure your animals feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I treat every animal as if they were my own and believe in providing plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, or help with farm chores, I would love the opportunity to care for your furry (or feathered!) family members. 🐾❤️ I am currently working part time. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I have always been an animal lover and enjoy spending time with pets. I am available before and after work, on evenings, and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and general care. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love building relationships with both pets and their families. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As the owner of a 7-year-old dog, I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I also grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime to help reduce stress and keep pets happy. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while their family is away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I've had dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens on my small farm. Guinea pigs, hamsters, and snakes I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds. My experience includes caring, raising, training and giving medical care if needed. I also have a degree in animal science. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work weekends and holidays. I am very dependable. I send pictures and daily updates. I would love the opportunity to feed, play, and insure your pets are doing well. I know how to approach animals, both timid and energetic. I have the experience to know when an animal is fine or in distress and can be trusted to give the proper care that's needed.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, beginning in early childhood and continuing into adulthood. I have owned dogs, cats, and horses since around the age of eight, which gave me an early understanding of daily pet care, animal behavior, and the responsibility required to keep pets healthy, safe, and happy. ***If you’d like a walk please book walking service otherwise I will just do a quick potty break and spend rest of time doing typical care*** In addition to personal pet ownership, I have gained hands-on experience dog and cat sitting for others. This has included caring for pets in their own homes as well as managing routines that differ from my own, such as specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and behavioral preferences. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience or reassurance. My pet-sitting responsibilities have often included daily walks, playtime️, feeding, administering medications as directed, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring they feel secure while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners and providing updates for peace of mind.
“Very responsive and super friendly! Suzanne saved us while on vacation to walk our dog while we were exploring the area. Our dog was very grateful for the break out of the house. Would definitely use her again when we come back.”
About: I've been around and owned dogs all my life. My breed of choice is the German Shepherd, but I've had many different furry friends in my life. I also spent 7 years volunteering at Saving Grace in Raleigh - helping with rescue dogs. I'm retired, and I see this as a way to enjoy walking and being with dogs. All three of my shepherds were trained by me. One was off-leash trained. I'm just interested in walking dogs, but as I've stated, I'm highly trained to walk and care for any breed. Your pup will have fun walking with me!
About: I worked at a pet boarding/daycare facility for three years. I’ve administered medication and handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m currently training for a triathlon and taking classes online, so my schedule is flexible and I have lots of energy to expend on play dates. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, adapting to new environments, and recognizing signs of aggression before it happens, allowing me to keep your pup safe and happy.
“You’re an exceptional walker. My dog gets excited when it’s time to for Robyn to come. She is tired when she gets home, but it’s the good tired. So glad we found Robyn, she is excellent.”
About: -Personally, I have been caring for pets for 18 years. Pit mixes, reptiles, and felines. The first words most people would use to describe me would be "animal lover"! -Professionally, I have veterinary and animal handling experience. I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician Assistant between college and graduate school, which gave me experience with administering medication, pet safety,checking vital signs, soothing anxious pets, basic grooming, etc. I also spent two years in grad school walking dogs,boarding, and doing check-ins with "Wag!" which I thoroughly enjoyed! Professionally, I am a biologist and have a working knowledge of animal physiology -I have personally mothered and treated a Heartworm Positive dog, so I am well-versed in caring for a pup currently undergoing that! With my current seasonal position coming to an end, I expect to have a wide open schedule for the next few months. I am a pretty early riser, but can be flexible It is priority to make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible while missing you! I choose to not use a crate with my dog, but can with yours if you prefer that. I'm very active and like to ensure that animals get as much activity and enrichment as they like. I am very big on sending lots of photos and video updates on your pet throughout the day!
