She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Ana, I’m a wildlife rehabilitation intern and animal care professional with extensive veterinary technician knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animal care is truly my passion, and I’m currently gaining even more hands-on experience working with wildlife and exotic animals. My veterinary knowledge allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and special needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. My goal is not only to keep your pets safe and happy, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am a wildlife rehabiliation intern and work Mondays to Fridays from 9-2. I am very flexible and willing to work with what fits you and your furry friends needs best! I have a fenced in yard and a two bedroom home with plenty of room for them to roam around and play! As well as walking paths behind my home and dog parks that allow for some much needed exercise!

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve moved a lot and everywhere I went my one job that stayed consistent was pet sitting. I started watching family friends and neighbors pets at age 10. Pets have been a very big part of my life since I was little. I do want you to know the price could be higher or lower depending on the specific situation. I’m currently working from my home . I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I’m at my house full time and would love to have some furry friends over. I live on base, which has dog parks and is very safe. I take walks around my neighborhood frequently so you don’t have to worry about your pet not going out. I don’t have a big fenced in backyard but it is good for small dogs. I have a kitten who loves dogs and cats. He’s very sweet and lovable. I work part-time from my home so i’ll have plenty of time to play,cuddle, and walk your furry friend. My job allows me to choose my own hours so i’m able to make your pet feel loved when they are here. I have a small fenced backyard good for small dogs. I also have a very friendly kitten who loves dogs and cats. There are a lot of dog parks by me along with a lot of places to explore.

“Monica exceeded my expectations. Until Monica, my cat Sinner would only engage with me. In a few days time Monica was able to pet Sinner and play with her. I appreciate her taking the time and being so patient with my cat. Monica sent nice photos and reports daily. She left the house clean and the cat happy. I'll definitely be recommending her and having her back again.”

“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: Hi! I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for high-energy breeds. I currently share my home with a Red Heeler and a Goldendoodle, both of whom require significant daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. This has given me strong skills in managing active dogs and creating structured, enriching routines. My professional background includes working as an EMT and now as a behavior technician, which has shaped my calm, attentive, and safety-first approach. I’m trained to stay level-headed in emergencies, read behavior cues, and provide patient, consistent care. I’m also an avid surfer, so I’m naturally active and love the outdoors. I’m using Rover as a side gig and I’m always open to long visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will receive unconditional love, reliable attention, and excellent care while with me. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can fit your pet’s needs into my day and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I’m also available on weekends, plus open to long visits and overnight stays. I live in an apartment complex with a big fenced area for the dogs to play in. There is also trails by the apartment that I walk. Your pet will get care, and exercise all while having the time of their lives!!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life dogs, cats, and even a few surprise visitors in between! Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or making sure they get fed on time, I truly enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe and loved. I’m currently active duty military, so my schedule stays pretty consistent! I’m available most evenings during the week and open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. If you need early morning care, feel free to message me I’ll do my best to work with your needs! I’m currently serving in the military, which means I’m super reliable, detail oriented, and organized. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, send updates, and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: For 30+ years, I shared my life with dogs, from wiggly puppies to gray‑muzzled seniors. My last two companions crossed the rainbow bridge only weeks apart after 15 wonderful years, caring for them through their golden years, which honed my skills with daily medication, injections, and gentle mobility support. I’m also a certified therapy‑dog handler. Together, Franco and I made rounds at retirement homes and hospice centers with a national organization called K9 Buddies. Whether it’s redirecting anxious energy, reinforcing good manners, or offering a soothing lap for snuggles, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique quirks. Friends jokingly call me “the dog whisperer” because dogs gravitate to me for lots of hugs. From basic obedience refreshers to specialized medical routines, your pet will get knowledgeable, compassionate care as if they were my own. I am self-employed, have ample time to fit potty schedules, and ensure your dog is well cared for when you cannot be home. If desired, overnights and long-term care is a possibility. Your pets care will depend on your desires and their personality. I am happy to discuss specific needs, from medication to play and training. My goal is to allow you to leave your dog home with peace of mind, knowing you do not have to double-check or worry.

“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Ana, I’m a wildlife rehabilitation intern and animal care professional with extensive veterinary technician knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animal care is truly my passion, and I’m currently gaining even more hands-on experience working with wildlife and exotic animals. My veterinary knowledge allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and special needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. My goal is not only to keep your pets safe and happy, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am a wildlife rehabiliation intern and work Mondays to Fridays from 9-2. I am very flexible and willing to work with what fits you and your furry friends needs best! I have a fenced in yard and a two bedroom home with plenty of room for them to roam around and play! As well as walking paths behind my home and dog parks that allow for some much needed exercise!

“Our Ziggy enjoyed her time at Brittany and Matt's place! She became fast friends with King and another Rover dog. Ziggy came back to us tired and happy, just as we had hoped. They are great communicators and have a wonderful fenced in back yard and easy to walk neighborhood for both play and walks. We plan on having them watch Ziggy again in the future.”

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve moved a lot and everywhere I went my one job that stayed consistent was pet sitting. I started watching family friends and neighbors pets at age 10. Pets have been a very big part of my life since I was little. I do want you to know the price could be higher or lower depending on the specific situation. I’m currently working from my home . I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I’m at my house full time and would love to have some furry friends over. I live on base, which has dog parks and is very safe. I take walks around my neighborhood frequently so you don’t have to worry about your pet not going out. I don’t have a big fenced in backyard but it is good for small dogs. I have a kitten who loves dogs and cats. He’s very sweet and lovable. I work part-time from my home so i’ll have plenty of time to play,cuddle, and walk your furry friend. My job allows me to choose my own hours so i’m able to make your pet feel loved when they are here. I have a small fenced backyard good for small dogs. I also have a very friendly kitten who loves dogs and cats. There are a lot of dog parks by me along with a lot of places to explore.

“Booking with Kiley was the best decision we ever made! She sent tons of pics and videos, and nova had so much fun spending the weekend with her and her family. She played, did some crafts, and was so well taken care of. Nova is a puppy, and our baby so knowing she was in the hands of someone who loved her just as much as we do made us feel so much better about leaving for a long weekend. If you’re doubting if you should book- just do it!”
