“Isabell is absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bentley! She’s kind, thoughtful, responsible, and so much fun to be around. Bentley thoroughly enjoyed every moment with her, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave him. Plus, her photos are incredible — we loved getting all the updates!”
“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.”
“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. 😊”
“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!”
“Karisa is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for someone to watch your pup, do not hesitate to book her! We were in Raleigh for a military ball and at the last minute (1 hour before needing to be at the event) was told our hotel did not accept pets. I contacted Karisa and she responded immediately! She has a great, clean, home and was so kind to my pup! Thank you again Karisa! Next time we are in the area we will definitely rebook!”
“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!”
“First time our dogs stayed with Elise- great experience! Our dogs seemed to have enjoyed the stay, she kept us up to date with photos and was super lovable with them. And miss Faye was awesome and accommodating to the 2 additional canines in her home! Would book again”
“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!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Sloan did an outstanding job caring for both my dogs Teddy and Tootsie! I received detailed updates and frequent pictures of the both of them. She made sure to ask good questions to prepare caring for them and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I could tell when my dogs came back home that they had a great time with her!”
“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.”

“Heather took great care of my two cats Feta and Saffron and went above and beyond in order to accommodate their needs. I didn’t think my cats would tolerate having a stranger in their home but Heather is a natural! Will book again.”
“Brittany was amazing! She did two drop-in visits for our cat while we were out of town and followed everything exactly as requested. She made sure food, water, and litter were all taken care of, and even gave her treats and attention. She sent a ton of pictures and updates each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she really cares! I would 10000% book w her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter 🤍”

“Shelly, did an excellent job, to take care of our kitty while gone for a few days. She kept us informed about Chloe with texts & pics. We will most definitely rebook with Shelly.”
“Sophia was wonderful! She watched my cat over the weekend and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable or grateful. We did a meet & greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease and made me feel confident allowing her into my home. The booking was originally scheduled for one day, but when my plans changed and I had to stay longer, Sophia was incredibly flexible and kindly offered to come an extra day. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and it was clear my cat was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly felt like my cat was safe and in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely book with Sophia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring 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!”

We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!”

“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.”
“Our pup had amazing time and got along great with Otis!! I would highly recommend Natalie for doggie daycare and plan to reach out in the future when we need someone to watch our pup!!”

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!

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!

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.

“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!”
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
“Will definitely be reaching out to Yanke again in the future! My work has me traveling last minute and she was immediately responsive. Great communicator and the dogs loved her!”

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.

Ariana had my pup for an overnight while I was moving and she sent me several pictures and videos of my dog playing and relaxing. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be using her for anymore bookings I need in the future.”
