“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”

“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”

“Mindy and her family were great! Moose had an issue come up right before we were due to leave and she worked with us no problem. He required meds that she gladly gave him! Highly recommended!”
“Keri was absolutely wonderful!!!! We needed a much needed dog sitter for July 4th weekend. Everyone was either booked or not interested, or no response. After a couple of responses our family agreed on Keri because we believed there was something really special about her. She was also about 40-50 mins away from where we were staying. We didn't care because we felt it was worth it. We were traveling from out of state visiting family. We have an American bully and was so nervous because it was his first time with anyone else overnight. Communication was excellent. She always responded and had a welcoming spirit from day one inquiring. When we arrived we had a hard time leaving Drako because he was not feeling it. He actually snapped at Keri a couple of times and was very protective of the new surroundings. When I say Keri held it down she really did. She welcomed us and there was 7 of us, our 4 children, niece , my husband and myself into her home to help get Drako acquainted. It was too late to try any other option but she was more than willing to stick in there. We spent almost 2 hours getting Drako comfortable and we pulled every trick out the bag. Finally he was comfortable after running around the yard and being outside with one of their dogs. He welcomed her and her children in his space and played with the other dogs. He finally took treats from Keri and went near her without snapping. Once getting him settled we snuck out once he was well relaxed and when we thought he was calm and not going to run behind us out the door. With our surprise we received pics of Drako calm and getting rubs from her husband and family and they fell in love with him. He was in a safe and very clean environment with a loving family and Drako became one with them. I absolutely would recommend Keri to anyone who needs a dog-sitter. She’s the best. I will go out my way to bring Drako to Keri when we travel again. She was the absolute best. There’s not enough words of gratitude to Thank Keri and her family for all they did for our boy. Keri is and will always be our number 1!”
“Very pleased with Rachel and so glad Cody liked her, as well. She had plenty of play space for the dogs and even provided dog training. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Kathy and her crew took extra special care of our boy Nikko. He will be returning to his favorite spot soon. She has a wonderful outdoor area and furry friends to keep your special ones company.”

“Kateryna was awesome. She sent updates and photos daily, even though I had to wait for wifi on the cruise to see them. She showed so much love to my two fur babies. I will definitely book her again!!!!”
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”
“Kelly is one of the most kind and thoughtful people I’ve ever met, besides being such an amazing pet-sitter. She went above and beyond with our cat and bird, spent quality time with them and played with them, and looked after our house while we were away! Our vacation was so much more enjoyable knowing our furbabies were in good hands. She did a wonderful job, and we are so thankful we found her. We will gladly call on her again.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mount Vernon
About: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like they’re my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Debora was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and little updates to let me know that Bourbon was doing great throughout the day. Bourbon had such a great time he passed out when he got home. I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”
“Papito loves spending time with Lawrence and Gabby. They have calm, positive energy and he always comes back happy. He's pretty headstrong and very high energy and it always feels like Lawrence and Gabby truly enjoy and appreciate him, which makes it easy not to worry about leaving him for a night or weekend. Plus they always send great artistic-quality pics of his time with them. We feel lucky to have found them.”
About: The daughter of a Deputy Sherriff canine officer, I have grown up my whole life loving animals. I would love the opportunity to love yours while you're away.

“I booked Michael with only 2 days notice as I had to figure out last minute work travel plans. Booking and during the stay he was responsive and sent me updates throughout the day. He asked questions and we were aligned on daycare expectations. Macy had a messy bathroom accident shortly after I left and I felt that Michael handled this professionally and understanding as a fellow dog parent.”
“Rachel was great with our young puppy! She went above and beyond to help train him and take him off our hands for a day. She is very knowledgeable and send us the best videos. I’m happy we chose her to take care of our pup”
“We had the most perfect day because of the most perfect dog sitter. We came to town and we were a little desperate because we had an unexpected day of plans with our family and no 12 take care of the dog. Bethany and her husband were so gracious and kind and their home is perfect. Our little daisy felt comfortable right away and so did we. Thank you for your kindness and assistance.”
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog during several daytime visits. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and straightforward. She was also extremely accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and reassured every step of the way. It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”
“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”

About: Hi!! I’m Kimberly 😊 A little about me: I’m a mom of three boys 💙 (a newborn, a 2-year-old, and a 7-year-old), so life is definitely full in the best way. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and that’s something my kids have naturally picked up too. They absolutely love animals and have learned to be gentle, kind, and respectful from a young age. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now, both personally and for others, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I grew up in a home full of pets. At one point we had 26 birds, 24 guinea pigs, 2 cats, and 3 dogs, so being around animals has always just felt natural to me. My faith is a big part of who I am and how I treat others. It guides me to be patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just with people but with every pet I’m trusted with. I understand how much they mean to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. We live in Mocksville, NC, and I’m in the Clemmons and Winston area often, so I’m very flexible depending on your location and needs. My husband is a U.S. Navy veteran, so we have a deep appreciation for those who serve and a special place in our hearts for military families. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for with attention, patience, and genuine love while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. On weekdays, I do school drop off between 7:45am and 9:30am and need to be home again by 3pm for pick up. Outside of those times, I’m generally very open and able to accommodate visits and walks. If a drop-in or walk falls within those school hours, my kids may come along with me. They absolutely love animals and are always gentle, respectful, and happy to give your fur baby a little extra love and attention 😊 ⸻ Note: I’ve adjusted my 30 minute drop in and walking rate because I often find myself staying a little longer to make sure your pet truly gets the attention and care they need. In my opinion, 30 minutes can feel rushed, especially for pets who have been alone for a while. I never want your pet to feel hurried, so I do my best to include extra time whenever possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved on. My rate is flexible depending on your pet’s needs, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat! I am very respectful of my home as well as others. I like to keep things clean and take pride in maintaining a well-kept space. I’m not one to pry, and I’m very self-aware, always making sure I’m being respectful of your home. I will treat your home the same way I would want my own to be treated. I’m great with following directions and instructions, and when it comes to your pets, I take my time to make sure their needs are fully met. You can definitely expect a bunch of updates and pictures while your furry or feathered babies are in my care.
About: As a fur mom to two, I know that it is a huge relief to find someone to love your pets the way that you would. Let me be that person!

Let me handle your furry family members while you enjoy your day! I currently work a remote job with a flexible schedule which allows for me to easily fit in drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I know that each pet requires their own form of love and attention. I will take the time to get to know your pet, what they like and don't like, and make sure that everything is handled while they are in my care. It is very important to me to build a bond with your pet so that you both feel comfortable.

I am versed in behavioral activites, nutrition, training, and age grouped interactions between animals and humans as well as many of the signs for common sicknesses and fatigues within breeds. I love being outdoors and playing games in order to give the animals the ability to express their energy in an appropriate manner. You animal will be in great hands. I also make usually make pet friendly treats if I have advanced notice! I am currently self employed so my schedule works around me. Animal care always comes first, after all a steady schedule makes for a happy pet I have two small dogs one is a baby one is an old man but they get along great and play like puppies. They are friendly and would love to keep your fur baby company. However, if your dog is not up for company for any reason there is a nice sized crate in which the animals that reside here or your own (which ever you are more comfortable with) can reside it. I love to play, study mannerisms and behaviors, I like toys that make their brains work so they feel fulfilled and tired after a good session of play. Walks, breaks and water are a good way to bond and pass the time. Cuddle bugs are always welcome as well. Nail trimming and grooming available if needed.

“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”

“Keri was absolutely wonderful!!!! We needed a much needed dog sitter for July 4th weekend. Everyone was either booked or not interested, or no response. After a couple of responses our family agreed on Keri because we believed there was something really special about her. She was also about 40-50 mins away from where we were staying. We didn't care because we felt it was worth it. We were traveling from out of state visiting family. We have an American bully and was so nervous because it was his first time with anyone else overnight. Communication was excellent. She always responded and had a welcoming spirit from day one inquiring. When we arrived we had a hard time leaving Drako because he was not feeling it. He actually snapped at Keri a couple of times and was very protective of the new surroundings. When I say Keri held it down she really did. She welcomed us and there was 7 of us, our 4 children, niece , my husband and myself into her home to help get Drako acquainted. It was too late to try any other option but she was more than willing to stick in there. We spent almost 2 hours getting Drako comfortable and we pulled every trick out the bag. Finally he was comfortable after running around the yard and being outside with one of their dogs. He welcomed her and her children in his space and played with the other dogs. He finally took treats from Keri and went near her without snapping. Once getting him settled we snuck out once he was well relaxed and when we thought he was calm and not going to run behind us out the door. With our surprise we received pics of Drako calm and getting rubs from her husband and family and they fell in love with him. He was in a safe and very clean environment with a loving family and Drako became one with them. I absolutely would recommend Keri to anyone who needs a dog-sitter. She’s the best. I will go out my way to bring Drako to Keri when we travel again. She was the absolute best. There’s not enough words of gratitude to Thank Keri and her family for all they did for our boy. Keri is and will always be our number 1!”

“Thaissa was wonderful with our two pups! They were so happy (and tired) when I picked them up. Thaissa is very organized and has a beautiful home with a fenced in backyard. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind that they were happy and well loved while we were gone!”

We will certainly contact you for future sitting opportunities. Thank a bunch, Fred”

Both dogs were happy, well-fed, and got plenty of exercise under her care. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
“Mike was incredibly consistent and communicated promptly, sending me daily updates and photos of my dog, which gave me great peace of mind during my vacation. His space is clean, safe, and dog-proof, and he gave my dog plenty of outdoor time to roam and play since he lives around a very open natural space. I could tell my dog was well cared for and happy the whole time. Thanks for taking great care of Bronx!”
“Bethany was amazing with my 2 dogs. They had trouble adjusting to new faces as they don’t get much socialization time with other dogs. She worked with them to ensure everyone stayed safe and still received lots of love. I really enjoyed getting the picture and video updates throughout our trip as well. I would definitely book again and refer to others.”
