Personalized care for your dog or cat - Penelo
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Penelo
“Ashley and family were great! If I could give her 10 stars I would. We planned a weekend in Rocky Mount and booked boarding for our dog at a local boarding place. We dropped her off and before we left they let us know she was too anxious and would not be able to tolerate the whole weekend there. We tried one other boarding facility and they had a similar set up so I knew she wouldn't be able to stay there either. I found Ashley on rover and messaged her about booking for the weekend last minute. Our dog is very anxious around other dogs which becomes aggression because she gets so worked up. Ashley was able to keep her for the weekend and keep her separated from their other dogs in the home. I was very relieved to know she was safe and taken care and that the other dogs in the home were safe too. When we arrive Harley went right in with them and was happy when we picked her up! They were very understanding and accommodated us so we did not have to cancel our trip last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will definitely be booking with Ashley any time we are in the area.”
“I absolutely loved having Eris stay with her! I would definitely choose her again. She has a wonderful amount of space for the dogs to play and feel comfortable. She followed all of our instructions regarding Eris’s food and medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. I also loved seeing how well her dog and Eris got along.they became great friends! 🥰 I highly recommend her and would definitely trust her with Eris again!”
“She was great with zazu, and accommodated drop off for him which was so helpful. If i was ever in the area again I would definitely reach out to book again. We go lots of pictures and positive feedback. :)”
“This was our first time leaving Prince with a sitter. She made me feel very comfortable with her warm and inviting spirit and her immediate and consistent communication. She provided updates and a picture of him while we were away. He was happy with her and I'm glad he had a home feeling experience. I will definitely use her again and refer her to my friends.”
“This was the perfect boarding experience from beginning to end. The level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was exceptional. It was clear right away that my pet was in safe, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Everything was handled exactly the way I hoped it would be. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and every detail was managed with care. The environment felt safe, clean, organized, and welcoming. Most importantly, my pet was comfortable, well cared for, and treated with real kindness and patience. What stood out most was the boarder’s attitude. They were dependable, thoughtful, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm and personal touch. If you are looking for the ideal boarding service, this is it. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, and truly top-tier in every way. I would absolutely use this service again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants real peace of mind when leaving their pet in someone else’s care”
“Our girls received great care while staying with Randi. We received daily updates and they seemed happy with their stay too! We will be repeat clients and are so happy our girls got great care and snuggles.”
“Monica was wonderful with our dog, Chase! She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the photos that Chase had a great time playing with Nova and Arcturus. She was also incredibly flexible when I needed to make a last minute change to our pickup time. I would definitely trust her with Chase again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter! 🐾”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals. I have my own 2 cats and doggo and they’re my whole world. Before that I had family dogs and cats ever since I was young and they were my favorite thing to see when I came home after a long day. I love to workout with people themselves and animals! It benefits everyone to get up and move throughout the day. Plus dogs should get to experience the world around them too! I’m a stay at home mom, I am expecting our first baby in December. So once the baby is here, I may take a break for a little bit, but I’ll be back! I’m available to walk during typical business hours while my husband is working. I have a two story spacious home with a large fenced in backyard! Our bedroom is on the first floor so even if the dogs are older, they wouldn’t need to go up any stairs. I have a loving dog that will play and run around with them and 2 cats! One is super friendly and will play with them. The other is a little more timid and will most likely just hide.
About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.
“Charlize was great! Her house was big and beautiful and she had a ton of land for running around. Her family was very welcoming so my dog had plenty of attention. She sent me pictures every day and answered all texts promptly. I will definitely call her again to watch Gizmo.”
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“Morgan took great care of my dog! She kept me up to date at all times and sent me many pictures as evidence that my dog was having a lot of fun! Whenever I need someone to care for my dog, Morgan will be the first on the list!”

About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level.

I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your cat can relax and receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Having volunteered with animal shelters and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a low-stress environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!

“Sam has been a phenomenal sitter! I had to reach out to her with very short notice and she had such a quick response. Even with the short notice, Sam was so eager to help me and take care of Max when she could.

Sam has been great, I’d surely recommend her as I’ll be using her if I need a sitter again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and enjoy knowing their personalities and spending time with them. Animals are very special! I work part time, so I’d be available to watch your animals, just about any time needed. I try my hardest to work with peoples schedule. Watching your dogs and attending their needs, I’d be bringing my son with me, he is almost a year old. If it is drop-ins I might can get someone to watch him but if it’s overnights he would be coming too. ❤️ Thank you for understanding my needs also. My dog is spoiled so I give him just about anything he wants. As I would do your animals, as well as follow whatever guidelines you may require.
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a kid! My family owns and runs a farm so my entire life has been about taking care of animals needs and making sure they are healthy! I have always had an affinity for all pets no matter how big or small! My #1 priority is making sure they’re taken care of, safe, and loved when their parents are gone! I am currently a senior at WCU, but I live here near Greenville and will be here for the whole summer, holidays, and most weekends! I’m currently self-employed and have a lot of extra time on my hands to help take some time off of yours! I have a very large backyard that is fenced in, all my dogs love to run around in it. My furr baby, Cherry, is crate trained and loves to spend most of her time inside!
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
“Makayla was kind and from what I can tell our pet was taken care of. Some concerns I had were the amount of communication throughout the boarding process, but she did return my pet and items in good condition. I will also say that she did stay in a smoking environment at the time of my booking, so if this will bother your pet please consider your options.”

“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!
About: Hi, I'm Taz! I'm 25 years old and have over 6 years of experience caring for and watching dogs. I provide dependable, loving care for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My experience as an animal rescue volunteer and foster caregiver has taught me how to work with shy, anxious, and special-needs pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and stress free. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and companionship for the cats in my care. Being home also means I can closely monitor pets, stick to their regular routines, and give them the extra attention they may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home or mine, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection based on each cat's personality and comfort level. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, provide basic medications if needed, and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during each visit.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! I've always loved animals and wanted to take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether this was my next door neighbors or my own, I was always up for the job! I own a mini horse (my 1 year old saint bernard), 1 inside only cat, and 2 outside cats. As for work, I am a fourth grade teacher and have the patience and enthusiasm to be the pet sitter you need. I am currently out for summer break as an elementary teacher. My schedule is very open and flexible. I will be home full time until mid August. Once I go back to work, I will still be able to board animals at my house. However, it is important for them to be crate trained as I plan to have them crated during the day - at least in the beginning. This will more than likely change as I get to know the animal more and how they interact with my animals! It's essential for the animals to feel safe in a place they are unfamiliar with and around animals they do not know! Please know that when I arrive home, they will receive plenty of enrichment through attention, daily walks, and play time with me or other dogs. I have a fenced in backyard that connects to another fenced in yard belonging to my parents and their two dogs. These areas are closed off unless I want the dogs to have some play time. All 3 dogs, including my own, are very sweet and get along well! Dog can be easily crated if needed, I own a large crate with a lot of room. As for your home, I will treat it like it's my own and love your pets like they are my own. Animals provide a nice change from the chaos that goes on in the everyday life of a teacher. I look forward to taking your fur baby on walks, providing enrichment, and cleaning litter boxes or other pet related needs!
“Max loved Victoria. He taught her the entire path he walks and brought her back to the apartment. He had a great time and Victoria was good with him. I recommend her. She came before the appointment, met Max and the two seemed to bond.”

About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”
“We are very excited to have Nicole care for our dog while we are at work/school! He is usually nervous around new people but has warned right up. I know they’ll be great pals, and it brings me such peace of mind!”

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family.

In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I have been around dogs literally my whole life. I don't remember a time since I was born that I didn't have a dog. From sleeping on our pit bull as a toddler to rescuing a shelter baby to keep me company at college dogs have been an amazing part of my story.

“Ashley and family were great! If I could give her 10 stars I would. We planned a weekend in Rocky Mount and booked boarding for our dog at a local boarding place. We dropped her off and before we left they let us know she was too anxious and would not be able to tolerate the whole weekend there. We tried one other boarding facility and they had a similar set up so I knew she wouldn't be able to stay there either. I found Ashley on rover and messaged her about booking for the weekend last minute. Our dog is very anxious around other dogs which becomes aggression because she gets so worked up. Ashley was able to keep her for the weekend and keep her separated from their other dogs in the home. I was very relieved to know she was safe and taken care and that the other dogs in the home were safe too. When we arrive Harley went right in with them and was happy when we picked her up! They were very understanding and accommodated us so we did not have to cancel our trip last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I will definitely be booking with Ashley any time we are in the area.”
“I absolutely loved having Eris stay with her! I would definitely choose her again. She has a wonderful amount of space for the dogs to play and feel comfortable. She followed all of our instructions regarding Eris’s food and medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. I also loved seeing how well her dog and Eris got along.they became great friends! 🥰 I highly recommend her and would definitely trust her with Eris again!”
“She was great with zazu, and accommodated drop off for him which was so helpful. If i was ever in the area again I would definitely reach out to book again. We go lots of pictures and positive feedback. :)”
“This was the perfect boarding experience from beginning to end. The level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was exceptional. It was clear right away that my pet was in safe, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Everything was handled exactly the way I hoped it would be. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and every detail was managed with care. The environment felt safe, clean, organized, and welcoming. Most importantly, my pet was comfortable, well cared for, and treated with real kindness and patience. What stood out most was the boarder’s attitude. They were dependable, thoughtful, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm and personal touch. If you are looking for the ideal boarding service, this is it. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, and truly top-tier in every way. I would absolutely use this service again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants real peace of mind when leaving their pet in someone else’s care”
“Our girls received great care while staying with Randi. We received daily updates and they seemed happy with their stay too! We will be repeat clients and are so happy our girls got great care and snuggles.”
“Monica was wonderful with our dog, Chase! She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the photos that Chase had a great time playing with Nova and Arcturus. She was also incredibly flexible when I needed to make a last minute change to our pickup time. I would definitely trust her with Chase again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter! 🐾”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals. I have my own 2 cats and doggo and they’re my whole world. Before that I had family dogs and cats ever since I was young and they were my favorite thing to see when I came home after a long day. I love to workout with people themselves and animals! It benefits everyone to get up and move throughout the day. Plus dogs should get to experience the world around them too! I’m a stay at home mom, I am expecting our first baby in December. So once the baby is here, I may take a break for a little bit, but I’ll be back! I’m available to walk during typical business hours while my husband is working. I have a two story spacious home with a large fenced in backyard! Our bedroom is on the first floor so even if the dogs are older, they wouldn’t need to go up any stairs. I have a loving dog that will play and run around with them and 2 cats! One is super friendly and will play with them. The other is a little more timid and will most likely just hide.
“Charlize was great! Her house was big and beautiful and she had a ton of land for running around. Her family was very welcoming so my dog had plenty of attention. She sent me pictures every day and answered all texts promptly. I will definitely call her again to watch Gizmo.”
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“Morgan took great care of my dog! She kept me up to date at all times and sent me many pictures as evidence that my dog was having a lot of fun! Whenever I need someone to care for my dog, Morgan will be the first on the list!”
About: I have always had a passion for animals. As an adolescent I volunteered at the local animal shelter, and as I became old enough I started caring for friends, and family friend’s pets. I provide all the love, care, and attention that your furry friend needs, and wants! All my work and time is dedicated towards pet sitting for the foreseeable future. My availability is WIDE open. I am mostly always by my phone so I am just a call or click away! I have one dog of my own, a 100 pound German Shepherd. I have a large fenced in back yard where he or any other dog can run freely. I have worked with 1 dog, to 7 dogs at a time.. whether that be letting them out directly into a yard or walking them. I am very attentive of their behavior and needs. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving medicine and just simply providing love!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!
