“Isabel was great! My dog had so much fun at their wonderful spacious house. Pretty sure he got a lot of fetch in, he looked so happy in all of the pics. My dog has alot of energy so I was thankful they were home all day to keep him company and play. They kept me updated with pictures and I felt he was def in good hands. Will book again for sure. Fast response and safe space for the pup equals gratefull!”
“Norman had an amazing time with Deanna. She sent constant updates and was incredible easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you Deanna!”
“This is the second time Britanny took care of Fox, and he had a wonderful time again with her and her corgi!! Thanks Britanny for taking such good care of him.”
“Taylor was FANTASTIC. We had never left our dog with anyone besides family before so this was a big leap of faith. Our dog is super anxious and Taylor worked to make her comfortable. She was incredibly responsive and sent lots of updates. Definitely spoiled our girl.”
“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”
“This was my first time using a sitter, and Vanessa was terrific! We got daily updates and pictures, and my pup was kept busy! He’s pretty much been sleeping since we got home. 😊”
“Karisa was awesome! This was our 1st time leaving Smokey and she was amazing with him. We also had some travel issues and she was very accommodating with pick up changes. We will definitely book her again if needed.”
“Lori is cool, clutch, and kind — a total gem of a sitter! I had such an awesome experience with her caring for my two senior Frenchies, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. One of my pups has actual special needs and the other just thinks he’s — and Lori met both of them with so much patience, warmth, and attentiveness. She was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond during the hot weather to make sure they were safe, cool, comfortable, on schedule, and well exercised. From thoughtful updates to little things she did to help them feel truly at home in her space, she had everything covered. I was recommending her to people while I was still on my trip — that’s how confident I felt leaving my kids in her hands! What really stood out was the sweetness and calm presence Lori has as a human. It made the transition so much smoother for both pups (and for me). I didn’t worry for a second while I was away. I’ll absolutely be using her again for future stays — she will become our go-to sitter, and honestly, our dogs may be even more obsessed with her than we are! Thanks a mil, we are so glad we found you.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and Martine and Ronald were great! They gave us multiple daily updates, pictures, and made us feel super comfortable. Our dog had a great time, made some friends, and was amazingly cared for. We’re already planning to rebook again for our next trip!”
“Elise was amazing!!! Maddie was in great hands and I felt fully confident and satisfied with choosing her as my sitter! Definitely will be bringing Maddie back!”
“Kelly was amazing! We reached out last minute to see if she could watch Hamilton, and she didn’t hesitate for a second. She took such great care of him and treated him like one of her own. She was quick to respond, communicative, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“For the weekend of March 20-22, we had such a good experience with Carlita watching our Lewey. You always feel a little nervous leaving your dog with someone for the first time, but she took good care of him. We so appreciated the regular updates of how he was doing. She kept us posted on his eating, playing and potty breaks so that we would know how he was doing and adjusting to a new environment. She took him on regular walks, ensured that he had playtime, and it was a plus that he had two other pups to play with. Carlita is professional, friendly and warm, and we would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Carlita, for taking time with Lewey while we were away.”
“Over all great! Took great care of my dog and updated me on her well being throughout the whole night! Even made her a scarf which was also so sweet! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!”
“Katie was amazing!!! Took such good care of my sweet but anxious little Sophie. Sent me updates and photos everyday and I felt like I had left my girl in really safe hands. I would absolutely work with Katie again!”
“Tania was great with our 2 year old Golden Retriever! Sends the most photogenic pictures and she was always great with communication and sending updates. Never had to worry about him while we were gone on vacation :)”
“My dog had a great weekend with Jessica and family! They had great communication with us and gave daily updates and photos. Their home was clean and safe. I will definitely rebook with them in the future.”
“Sloane was incredible!! She spent lots of time playing and walking our pup!! She went above and beyond with toys and a crate ready for him at her house!! She sent a lot of updates and exceeded our expectations in a dog sitter! Highly recommend!!”

“Courtney took great care of Freja. Freja had a little accident the day before I left and I couldn’t pick up her medication, but Courtney was more than willing. Freja was excited to see me, feeling better, and well taken care of. We had a minor snafu with my keys, but Courtney was on it.”

“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Sophia was awesome with my cat! She took care to make sure he had everything he needed, and made sure to play and snuggle with him too. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Adreanna is a great sitter and my kitties love her! She’s very reliable, communicative and does such a great job. I appreciate her care so much while I’m away. Definitely recommend her :)”

In just the 30 minute booking I got 4 pictures and a great summary report. Couldn't be more rest assured and happy to have gotten him as our sitter. Will for sure utilize his services in the future if he is willing!”

“This was our first time using Arden, and we could tell right away that she’s wonderful with dogs — especially with Rooney! We were well informed with updates and photos throughout the day, and it was clear Rooney was happy, safe, and well cared for. Arden took her on walks and let her relax on the gated back porch, which she loved. We’ll definitely book with Arden again!”

“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”
“We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!”
“My pup got along great with her dog Otis, and she has a backyard which my dog loves roaming and sun bathing so it worked out perfect! She was available last minute when we needed help which we greatly appreciated!”

About: I've had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! I've always grown up in a two-dog household and love being surrounded by dogs! I am a photographer and a coach! I have quite a bit of free time to spend with the pups. If it's not to hot outside, we like to spend our days on walks or in the park. We also love a good rainy day to watch movies and play with toys! Your dog will be treated as if they are one of our own! I have two loving dogs that are always down to play, and love a good cuddle session!

“Adrian was so great! I needed a last-minute sitter for a couple days and she was able to take care of my boy no problem. I got a lot of updates and pictures on what ghibli was up to, and he got tons of exercise and got along well with her dog. She even accommodated me when I was running a little behind and had to pick Ghibli up a little later than usual. Highly recommended !”

“Brianna was a lifesaver! Stepped up last minute on a holiday and was amazing with my pups. She went above and beyond and treated all 4 of my animals with love and care and was extremely respectful of my home. I will be definitely booking her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have been around dogs since childhood and know how to treat them with respect. I love animals and will treat your beloved pet as if they were my own! I recently quit my job and am available most days for overnight sitting or walks! I keep my calendar up to date, but I am also flexible, so feel free to reach out with any scheduling concerns.

“Rodrigo did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog Cash! He sent great pictures and a lot of them. It was also short notice and he still remained flexible. Couldn't have been more pleased with his services. Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of my old lil man.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. I booked her for a 30-minute walk every day around noon, and I told her I was very flexible with timing. She was always reliable and showed up when scheduled, but what really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my puppy. Even though the walks were booked for 30 minutes, she constantly went above and beyond. Whether it was an extra minute, five minutes, or even ten, she never seemed rushed and truly spent quality time with my dog. After every walk, I didn’t just get one quick picture. I would get several adorable photos along with detailed updates about everything they did. She would let me know about their walk, any interactions they had, and even small thoughtful things like cleaning out his water bowl. You can tell Lauren is not just doing this as a job. She genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. That kind of care, attention, and thoughtfulness is rare, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for her and will absolutely book with her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sophia! She helped me out last minute, was quick to respond, and treated my dog Tiko like her own. He came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Communication is great. Highly recommend!!”

About: I love animals and do not desire to have children of my own for the next few years but in the meantime have a lot of love that needs to go towards your 🐕 I currently have flexible availability, I am available short term or long term. Flexible doggy lover who just wants to play fetch. Let me take care of your doggy while you have some much deserved down time! I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them as much attention as I can. I will take your dog out on walks and to the yard to play and run & make some memories! I love sending pet photos while you are away so you can rest assured.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have done pet training which included house training, basic commands (i.e. sit, stay, come), and tricks (i.e. roll over, play dead, circle, beg). My mom was a dog handler and I’ve been lucky to have learned how to handle various unique training or walking routines. I have also watched cats for extended periods of time as well as having 2 in my home previously. I recently adopted a Siberian cat that’s dog and cat friendly as well. From playing, to cuddling, to watching birds out the window together, to bathing (willing and unwilling), I’ve done it all. If your cat is lead friendly, I can also take them on walks. I can bath, feed, train, and exercise most all dogs. I am a quick and independent learner with a passion for working with animals. I’m available to stay over weekdays and weekends so long as my schedule is available. My job will be requiring me to be in office throughout the week for the next few months, however location depending, I can provide midday potty breaks during my “lunch” hour. I’m more of a night owl than early riser, but I can accommodate most routines for your pet so long as it’s not earlier than 7AM. Since I frequently travel locally for work, I apologize for not being able to always accommodate bookings with under 2 weeks notice. I currently have 1 Siberian female cat that is dog and cat friendly, and well socialized to children and people. My home has hardwood downstairs and carpet upstairs. I live in a neighborhood with amble green space for walks and fetch for off leash dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard.
About: I have been petsitting and dog walking my neighborhood pets for several years and had the privilege to work as a research technician who helped in husbandry at UNC Chapel Hills Division of Comparative Medicine canine unit. I love making new furry friends and gaining experience to help my pre-veterinary journey as a college student! I am available every day of the week starting June 30th seeing that i am home for the summer from college. I am available during the hours of 8am-8pm and am interested in house sitting. I have a fenced yard for my dog to keep them from getting out and my cat is an inside cat who stay in the upstairs bedrooms

About: Hi, I'm Chantel. An animal lover with a passion for dogs and cats. Having grown up surrounded by animals, I recently relocated from Buffalo, NY to North Carolina and have found the people and weather here to be exceptional. In addition to my role as a Speech Pathologist Assistant, I work as an ESL Teacher and offer dog sitting services through Rover. Meaning I’m always available during school vacations. I find joy in spending time with my pets, exploring the outdoors, and staying active through jogging and hiking. The recent loss of my beloved cat, who lived to the age of 24, inspired me to explore and appreciate different species of animals. In 2018, I successfully assisted in the recovery of a stolen dog, Storm, by proactively creating flyers, conducting investigations, and leveraging social media to spread the word. The heartwarming outcome of this experience reinforces my commitment to helping and caring for animals. I would be honored to meet and care for your pet. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can be of service. Looking forward to connecting soon, Chantel Starting July 1- July 31st I’ll be on my school break as a speech Teacher in schools. At this time I’ll be home most of the time. My clients are placed on a schedule. We wake up before 9:00am, we go out, we eat breakfast, take up to 30 min walks if able. We come back home, relax and play, go outside, eat dinner, go out a third time and time for bed. If the client is new, I try my best to keep them calm by playing with them and a lot of petting.
“Nicole is incredibly reliable and so helpful. She regularly walks my dog while I am teaching, and has been able to care for pets when I needed to travel. I love coming home to happy fur babies who have been well-loved and cared for!”
“Kevin is wonderful! He was the first sitter to actually walk Finn for the full 30 minutes and give him the exercise he needs. Kevin is responsible, communicative, and very knowledgeable about dogs and how to care for them. He even continued some light training with Finn on their walk which is so helpful as we’ve been working on good leash manners. I’m very happy to have found a dog walker I trust and that my dog adores. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone in search of a great dog walker!”
“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”
