Personalized care for your dog or cat - Murphy
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Murphy
“Robin is an excellent Dog Sitter. We will definitely give her a Five Star rating. She has the perfect set up in her house for comfort and play time for the dogs. She responds immediately when asked questions about our dog and she included pictures. When we went to pick our dog up, she had all her stuff ready and gave us a very nice review of our dog's stay with her. My dog was very happy and so excited with Robins care. We will do Dog Boarding again with Robin for sure. Thank you Robin for taking care of our dog!!”
“Emily was very patient with our stubborn English Bulldog. Her space was comfortable for our dog’s needs— added bonus of a fenced backyard. Emily is kind, compassionate, and responsive to communications. Would 100% recommend and use her services again.”

With patience, attention, and genuine compassion, we make pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and happy while their owners are away.

“Amazing pet sitter — highly recommended! She accommodated our last-minute request and took such great care of our puppy. Our puppy looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. She was wonderful to work with, very caring, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Definitely an amazing sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!”
“Angela took great care of our pups during their stay! She sent videos and pics throughout the day and we felt very confident leaving them with her. They are big dogs but she handled them well. She also came out prior to their stay to meet them so that they would recognize her when we dropped them off. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“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.”
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.
“Amanda (Mandy) did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent me daily pics and reports on them both..even on the one I have that hides. Mandy was sure to have eyes on them both before leaving for the day which was reassuring for me, she also took the time to hunt down the “hider” and move his food near him to make sure his brother didn’t get it. I will absolutely use Mandy’s services again and will recommend her to friends and family.”

“This was my second time booking Terri to watch my cats. She did a fantastic job! She is thorough and I can tell she cares for them well. They warmed up to her more this time and she was actually able to send photos of both cats--no more hiding :) Terri will definitely be my go-to sitter.”
“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.”
“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. :)”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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”

“Stefanie was amazing!! She helped make our dog a part of our wedding photos and kept her for us during the ceremony so that we had a stress free day! She took so many photos and was so sweet to our fur baby!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Murphy
“Recently starting using Rover and Terri has been the only dog walker I've used on this site. She has truly been amazing and definitely puts me at ease knowing that my Sadie is being taken great care of while I'm away at work each day. I cannot express how much I would highly recommend her service and do not know what I'd do without her!! My dog Sadie (and even my cat Milo) absolutely adore her and Sadie always has a big smile when Terri comes to visit her. Thank you so much Terri!!”
“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!
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.
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.

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.
