Personalized care for your dog or cat - Murphy

“This was the first time I boarded my dog. He can be a hooligan. Mandy took his transgressions in stride. This was a great experience for both of us.”

Druscilla T.

“Now keep in mind this is my first experience using Rover. That's how I found Robin. In the beginning I was scared that she wouldn't want to take care of a hyper puppy that is a crybaby. Keep in mind this is a 50 pd 8 month pitt mix. Robin was amazing with her. She had never been around puppies/dogs. Robin and her fur babies welcomed us with open arms. Robin went as far as sending me a video and pictures. I never once had to worry about Quu while I was away. Five Star Review”

April H.

“Kristen treated Jaxon like he was part of the family! He probably had a better vacation than I did. We will definitely be using Kristen again if we are back in the area!”

Riley M.

“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”

Cristina H.

“I was in a pinch to find someone at the last minute to care for my puppy for a few days, and am so glad that Stefanie accepted the request. She was wonderful! A definite animal lover, she knows dogs and their behavior well. She was very accommodating (drop off had to be late in the evening) and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy and I felt comfortable before I left. Tucker had a blast during his "vacay" and did not want to leave his new buddies behind when it was time to go home. Detailed text messages with updates and pictures every day were terrific. And when I picked Tucker up, Stefanie had even washed his bed and given him a bath (well, at least tried to!) I would definitely use Stefanie's services again.”

Mary S.

“David and Leslie were awesome! They treated my Callie like their own and sent me updates regularly with pictures. She seemed very comfortable with both of them and got along well with their sweet dog.”

Joyce V.

“Frank was GREAT! He provided loving care to Willa. She was happy and spoiled when we returned, just like we wanted. Frank kept in touch with pictures and texts. He is reliable and left my house clean. I never had a moment's worry while I was away.”

Joanne L.

“Angela was great. She was the best playmate for our boy. She sent great photo and video updates and we felt really good about leaving him with her!”

About: I have had four plus fur babies as a part of my family for 35+ years ! I love them all as their individual personalities and needs as if they are my own ! They will always be safe, they will always be loved both individually and as a group ! I have trained my own my furry babies over the years ! They were all loving and accepting of all creatures and my babies were little ones ! The little ones get branded not so good but I see the best in them all and attend to their individual needs when they come into my home they become a member of my family and receive the love and attention they need !!! I am retired, therefore I am available 24/7 . I have the priveleage of being home to ensure that each sweetie that comes into my home is attended to both with love and any care they will require anywhere from young puppy to our senior babies who will require more attention in regards to medicine massages for their joints and simply love I have a fenced yard to accommodate small dogs I have one myself who is 7lbs. She is friendly to all new guests! And when I take her out to either potty or to just get free run exercise in my yard I stay with her. I do not leave her outside unattended for not even one second I interact and engage with her both indoors and outdoors with play and love !

About: I raised a puppy from 4 weeks old. I also have a cat that I raise and have been raising since she was less than a year old. I have a stay at home job so I am available anytime you need me day or night! So I am very flexible with your schedule and what you need. I offer any service cause I have open availability and can work around your schedule and availability. I also can travel to your home if you need me to.

About: We provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet's personality and needs. With patience, attention, and genuine compassion, we make pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. We are semi-retired couple that have been in the area for over 8 years. We have plenty of time and experience to care for your pets. For hosting your pet at our home, we have an 8 year old hound dog mix that is unbelievably chill and he always loves to meet other dogs. We do have an extra large crate already if your dog requires/likes to be crated.

“Taylor was excellent! He took great care of our senior cat, Jos, who can sometimes be very prickly around new people. He showed up on time, made sure Jos was fed and his litter boxes were cleaned, and followed all the directions we left for him. Taylor was attentive, friendly, and accommodating, and I would definitely book him for pet care in the future.”

David M.

“Great first time experience. Thanks Sherri.”

Bob N.

“I was extremely nervous hiring someone I didn't know to come to my house and take care of my precious babies. I hired Mandy based on all the good reviews she had and I'm happy I did. My cats are very picky who they like having come over including my own family. They tend to hide even when it is time to eat. Mandy did a good job taking care of them. Hopefully they will learn to love her in the future like they do us. Thank you Mandy”

Anne S.

“Aaron went above and beyond for our kitty! She got sick just before we were scheduled to leave; he gave her medicine, and dealt with the unpleasant litter boxes that accompanied her illness. Thankfully that only lasted a few days. She is shy, and never let him get a good look at her, but he kept trying. Aaron is also an excellent communicator. He kept us apprised of her condition (as revealed by her litter boxes). We highly recommend Aaron and hope to have him as our sitter for the foreseeable future.”

Georgia M.

About: I bring great loving energy to your cat and his or her space. Will be responsible in administering meds or taking special care for your fur family members. Looking forward to helping out and making you both feel safe while you’re gone.

About: Our home is 100% dog friendly. I have a poodle that lovingly shows the house to her guests so they feel comfortable upon arrival. She doesn't get her feelings hurt if a pup prefers their own space while staying here.

“Terri took excellent care of our three sweet kitties and we loved getting their pictures every day and appreciated knowing they were well cared for. Thank you so much!”

Wendy S.

“Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.”

Joan F.

“Laura did an awesome job with my fur baby she was there every day and did a great job with taking care of my boy. Highly recommend her”

Deanna W.

“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”

Dani S.

“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”

“Adreahna took great care of our kitty, and our kitty warmed right up to Adreahna. She checked in and uploaded pics of her, which we lived. Kitty wasn’t even mad when we got home! Thank you!!”

Hillary S.

“Delaney, you were amazing!! Harold is shy and actually came up to you and you got great photos! Which says a lot about your warm energy:) Thank you again! I will definefitely request you in the future:) Lori”

Lori D.

“Stefanie was great with my fur baby Lizzie. Lizzie has anxiety and can’t be left alone or put in a kennel. Stefanie stayed with Liz every minute why we were gone. Stefanie took Lizzie on long walks in the woods and down to the lake. Stefanie updated me through out the day letting me know how Liz was doing and even sent me pictures of Liz through out the day. Liz stayed with Stefanie two days in a row. The 2nd morning we took Liz, she was so excited to see Stefanie. That means so much to a pet owner when your pet is happy to be with someone in their care. We will be using Stefanie again when we are back in the area. Thanks so much your the best Stefanie!”

“Angela is a lifesaver!! I could tell my pups really enjoyed their stay with her! I’m looking forward to booking again with her!”

“Our pup totally enjoyed her day! She seemed so happy (and tired lol) when we picked her up. Luna was a great playmate! We got a ton of pics and videos to see how her day was going. Kristen was so very sweet to us and our furbaby. We know she was well cared for and will rebook here again 💜”

About: I was raised on a farm in PA and have been around & cared for animals my entire life. I'd love to help you care for your fur babies! I have availability most days unless we are away on vacation. I work outside the home, but my hours are flexible. I can usually work with your schedule, with enough notice in advance. I try to stay within 50 miles of my house, but feel free to inquire for house sitting if you live farther away. I may be able to accommodate, but additional cost may be added depending on location. I will also consider other animal care. Just contact me for price and details. I have experience with horses, pigs, chickens, goats, to name a few. **Due to a recent injury I am unable to go on long walks , but I can take them out on a 20' leash so the can move around, or fenced yard is fine. House sitting/overnight care in your home: I would be at your home overnight, but i may be gone 2-4 hours during the day for other rover walks/drop ins. Potty breaks will be within a 1 hour window of requested time.

“Terri is so amazing 🤩 Zoe loved her from the first moment she met her! What a treat. I really appreciate knowing Zoe was in such great hands. We look forward to the next visit !”

Molly M.

“Aaron was absolutely wonderful with our two girls!!!! And we appreciate all the pictures and updates while we were away as I am definitely one of those worry dog moms!!!! We definitely know he will continue to use him as one of our girls is very picky on who she will poop for!!!! If you need anyone he is definitely the one!!!!!”

About: I have 2 senior dogs with special needs so I'm familiar with administering medicine & the extra care that older babies need. I've cared for many dogs & cats over the years and love them all! I'm currently working part time in the afternoons. I have my mornings, evenings & nights open to help care for your pets while you're away. Since I have many pets at home, I'm currently looking to care for pets in your home. With frequent check-ins about their care, you'll always be updated about how they're doing!

“Laura was awesome! My dog can be tricky because he won’t potty on a leash but she managed it!”

Mandy B.

About: Ever since I was 10 I have had experience taking care of animals. At one point in time we had 26 animals throughout our house that we had to care for. I take pride in caring for animals because they are a true joy and blessing in this world. I also have a dog of my own who is very well trained that I have had for 7 years now. I have quite a lot of free time. Therefore, potentially walking and taking care of your pets will not only give me something to fill my time with but also give me immense enjoyment! Any scheduling conflicts you may have won't be a problem for me! My house currently does not have a fence, however I will gladly walk your pets on a leash if need be. I have a lot of experience with animals and have no problem walking or putting your animals in a crate if it is what is needed.

About: Animal Shelter Enrichment Volunteer, Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

“Taylor is a supremely excellent dog walker! He is a serious dog person. He is young and energetic, unlike us. I highly recommend him!!”

Annie Grace B.

About: I've taken care of puppies, handled diaper changing for a physically handicapped dog, administered medications and daily vitamins, walked multiple dogs at a time, and have handled emergency vet visits for a dog with a seizure disorder. I truly enjoy spending time caring and playing with animals, they add so much to my life. I am embarking on a new adventure, just having moved here to North Carolina. Besides being with my family, spending time in nature, and caring for our furry family members at home-the rest of my time will hopefully be spent caring for your furry loved ones. I wouldn't be able to board in my own home, but can definitely do a stellar job caring for your animals in any way that is needed.
