“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”
“Martine and Ronald were so wonderful! We had a 10 day trip planned and were nervous to leave Cosmo for that long. They were so kind and took great care of him! We got pictures and updates daily so we could see how he was doing and check in. He loved their yard and getting to relax in the sun. All communication was very quick and responsive, and they were super flexible with our schedule while traveling. They also handled all of his meds and supplement needs without any issues. Cosmo had a great time and would definitely love to stay with them again in the future!”
“I'm so happy we found Renee. She and her family have watched our little chihuahua several times. Our baby girls loves them and gives them kisses when we arrive so I know she is well cared with them. Highly recommend!”
“Cris and Katty have been lifesavers. Mia had a fantastic time at their home and they took great care of her. We have had several travel issues and canceled flights due the storm. They’ve been super accommodating and helpful and offered to keep longer than expected.”
“Luis was amazing with our rescue dog, Zeus. He has major separation anxiety and hates to be left alone. Luis was so accommodating and gave me updates and pictures of our little guy. We will definitely book Luis again!”
“Suki had a great time at Stefan and Cara’s. She’s a pretty sizable 8 month old boxer puppy, and they handled her very well. It was great to receive the updates and pictures while we were on our trip, and we knew she was in good hands. We will definitely be in contact in the future! Thank you, Stefan and Cara!”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Jerry. From start to finish his communication was top notch. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and were particularly grateful for his proactive and supportive approach when our dog presented some behavioral challenges. Thank you, Jerry!”
“Fin is exhausted. We picked her up from Debra and she immediately crawled in her crate and fell asleep before we left her street. Debra was super kind and had a great set up for the dogs. She sent us updates and was flexible with our schedule. We highly recommend her. Good energy all around.”
“She did a great job caring for my dog. She made her feel right at home. Would definitely recommend her, and hopefully in the future if i need a sitter again she will be available. Thank you Amanda!!!”
“Elizabeth was an absolute 100/10 experience. She went above and beyond exceeding every expectation for care and attention. She sent tons of pictures throughout the stay, and it was obvious Ryder felt completely at home the whole time. Could not recommend her enough!!!”
“This was G's first time with a sitter (and she is 11). She had a great time with Evelyn! Evelyn made it easy for us to enjoy our time away knowing that she was taking such great care of our girl.”
“Buddy, my Westie, was well taken care of while we were gone for 10 days. He seemed as comfortable with Mary as we were when we had the Meet and Greet. Although we missed him we were not worried about his care. Would definitely use Mary again!”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Hilary and Lucas provided for our dog, Sparta! He had an absolute blast during his stay and even made some new furry friends. It's clear they genuinely love what they do and treat every dog like their own. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We highly recommend their service to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their pup.”
“Its tough leaving a furry friend for 8 days, but we always know Nova is well cared for with Scott & Heather! She comes home tired and happy from playing with their kids and other dogs.”
“Taylor was great and we highly recommend her! She watched our small, energetic dog for 2 nights and sent daily updates/pictures. Her dog got along great with our dog too, so our dog was very entertained the whole trip.”
“Thanks Teresa for taking Kamacho for a night stay on a short notice. I was a little nervous because I’ve never left my baby with anyone before but she made me feel at ease and sent me many photos of him during his stay. They played a lot and I was happy that Kami had a quality time with Teresa, her son and their two sweet dogs. Definitely recommend using her services, especially I think it’s very good for smaller doggies - comparing to other sitters I found in the area, only Teresa’s dogs were quite small for my dog to have fun with!”

While we were out of town, she was very responsive, sent several pictures and notes. I knew our dog was in great hands! I would definitely use Natalie again.”
“Ella is fabulous! Our cats love her and she is so sweet to them. Having Ella come and check on them gave me peace of mind being out of town because she is responsible, dependable, and communicates about her visits.”
“Rebecca is outstanding!! She did a great job on her drop-in visit bonding with and caring for Franky and keeping him good company while I was out and about running errands. Highly recommend 👍”
“Emily was great with my cat Milo. I was worried he'd feel lonely since I work from home and rarely go on vacation, but she made sure to spend time with him on top of feeding and scooping his litter. Would 100% hire again in the future!”
“Maria was great! She was super quick to respond and happy to help me in a last minute situation. She sent lots of pictures of my cats, which helped me feel at ease being away from them. Would definitely recommend her :)”

“Emily is amazing with our two cats!! They rarely come out of hiding for anyone but us, but they love seeing her come in the door! She takes the time to play with each of them individually with their favorite toys, and sends us adorable pictures and updates while we’re gone. We couldn’t ask for a better guardian for them when we’re away. Love her!!”
About: I have had much experience with pets my whole life. Growing up I always had pets in the house. If there is anything wrong with the pet I will gladly be able to take them to the vet. I have volunteered at animal shelters to help get dogs adopted. Dogs bring me so much joy and are fun to be around. Even when I am a little stressed with homework. I love animals so much. It gives me such joy playing both inside and outside with dogs. I hope that by throwing the ball and playing fetch with each and every dog I will grow to love dogs even more. You know what they say "a dog is a man's best friend", and I truly believe that.
“Jharana provided exceptional care to our cats while we were away on vacation. I have an elderly cat who needed daily medication, and Jharana was so attentive and thorough with her updates. She really went above and beyond what I expected of a pet sitter! I will definitely ask her to watch them next time we go out of town!”

“What a great experience with Martine and her husband. They obviously made Bryce feel welcomed in their home … as by the second day he went straight to her front door and didn’t look back while I was leaving. Also want to “shout out” her willingness to be a bit flexible with the schedule … (I was meeting a friend locally and wanted to be able to enjoy Raleigh for dinner (which was awesome at The Plate). This pet sitting experience enhanced my visit to Raleigh !!!”
“Olive can’t get away from me and I go the house fast enough when we get to Summer’s! Summer is so good with them, and has been so kind and flexible about short notice bookings and making things work. Highly recommend!”
“Molly loves going to Lauren's house. When we drive up and she gets SO excited when she realizes where we are and can't get in the Lauren's house fast enough to see the family and the resident dogs.”
“Ivy is an awesome sitter! She is communicative and sends multiple updates through the day; I love getting cute mid-play action pics! Her dog, Skylar, is just the cutest and is super friendly. My pup wasted no time warming up to her and playing right away. Will definitely book again ☺️”
About: Hello! I graduated from NC State and currently work in technology so I'm frequently working from home and can be there for your bff. I've been taking care of dogs (and cats) for 10+ years and 10/10 humans rate me as a good sitter. I currently don't have a dog or any pets at all as my work frequently requires me to travel so I'll be using this opportunity to fill that void. I like to stay active and am a frequent visitor of our local parks and green ways, I love to travel and see new places and curling up on the couch with a good cup of tea. I would be so delighted to hang out with your loved one while you are away!
“Paige was WONDERFUL! Very communicative and personable. She asked that I come 15–20 minutes early to discuss Dakota's routine, ask any questions, and tour her home and backyard. It made me feel super comfortable, and I appreciated her willingness to help. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Shelly did a great job caring for June Bug, especially when we needed someone to care for her last minute. Very responsive when we reached out! Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have always had a pet in my home since I was a younger. We have had dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and fish. We have had cats live until close to 20 so I am comfortable with older animals and administering medications. I have also fostered cats in the past, so I have a lot of love and attention to give to your fur baby. My schedule is flexible. I work from home so I am happy to provide doggy day care during the work day as well as drop-in visits or daily walks. The pets I sit for are always well loved and cared for. I make sure to spend time with them to give them the love and attention they need. I treat them like my own pets, and how I want mine to be taken care of when I am away. My schedule is flexible depending on the week and I so I can usually accommodate many clients at a time. I work from home so I can also provide doggy day care. I care for pets in the home as needed by the client. I have my own pets so I know what it is like to be away and I provide the same level of care their owner would.
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
About: I have had dogs, cats and other small animals most of my life. I take care of my friends and family pets for extended amounts of time. I am able to give oral medication, injections and lots of belly rubs! I have fostered many dogs and that is how I adopted my most recent dog Lucy. 🐶 I am spending much of my time home. Your pup will get lots of love and attention from me and my girl Lucy throughout the day. I do not have a fenced yard. I live in the woods next to a nature preserve, so there are no other dogs nearby to chase. I NEVER take a dog off leash in my yard!!! I have a very large deck with railings that will prevent a dog from escaping. If the weather is nice, the dogs will sometimes hang out on the deck. There is a large area in the basement to play fetch and horseplay. My dog is crate trained and will stay in her crate when I leave the home. I prefer to have all dogs in a crate when I am not home to prevent an accidental peeing or pooping accident. The dogs typically sleep on the floor on a dog bed in my bedroom at night or in a crate, if that is what you prefer.
“It was the first time we left our dog, so were a little worried but Kim kept us posted about Teddy's stay there. She sent us pictures, our dog looked very happy. We will strongly recommend her and will use her service again.”
About: Complete animal lover. Grew up with dogs and dog sitting for neighbors. Currently have one senior Beagle named Ruby who is great with all animals. I work from home so I can give your pet attention throughout the day. Morning walks, lunch walks, evening walks, you name it. Active dogs are no issue for me to care for. I walk my dog multiple times daily as we do not have a fenced in yard. Ruby loves having company with her on her walks.
“Teddy had a great time at Melissa’s! He came home very tired and she sent lots of videos and pix of Teddy running around with her dogs in the fenced in backyard. I would definitely take Teddy back to them in the future.”
“Thank you Alexis for watching my dog during doggy day care. :) I was able to get some errands done, and I truly appreciate the help. I also appreciate the Rover card at the end as well. Thanks!”
“I was so thankful Arden could make time for my last minute request. She was so communicative and tried hard to give river his walks but he wasn’t having it that day. She didn’t give up easily on him and tried again later, she was very kind about everything and I would try using her again when River is in better spirits.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved being around them. I have my own dog, Charlie, who is very friendly and loves other dogs. He has a lot of energy and enjoys having dog friends to play with. I work from home, so I am able to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’ve watched dogs for family and friends for years and am comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I love being outside and taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, and making sure they get plenty of exercise. I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I’ll also send regular updates and pictures so you know they’re having a great time. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also have my own dog so watching another works right in to my schedule. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have plenty of water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. I follow any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and safe while they’re in my care.

“Jacob was able to accommodate a somewhat short notice request for walking my dog. He followed instructions, arrived on time each day, walked Opal, and included pictures on her walk cards. Jacob is reliable and trustworthy.”
“Todd was fantastic! He was timely, responsive, gave lots of love and cuddles with our dogs, and asked great questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable, warm dog walker.”
“Trisha is officially Bella’s favorite! Bella looks forward to walks and cuddles with Trisha. Excellent communication and always takes awesome pictures of Bella. Highly recommend Trisha that we’ve become one of Trisha’s weekly clients.”
“Ashley was amazing! It was a last minute booking and she made time to come meet my pups first and then was flexible when i ended up not having to work in person one of the days I booked her. I will absolutely be using her again. :)”
About: I have been caring for my family dog since we got him four years ago and my other dog for 8 years. Over the past two years, I have also house-sat for multiple people, taking care of their pets for several days at a time. In addition, I have cared for many animals in my own home. I currently do not have a job so I am completely free morning tonight anytime I also do not have any other side hustles so anytime works! I would care for someone’s animal in their home as if they were my own. I would make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive any medications or special care they need. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I would spend quality time with them by playing, cuddling, and keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. I understand that pets are family members, so I would work hard to maintain their routine, provide comfort, and give them the same patience, affection, and attention they are used to every day.
“I met Shelly a few days before the first dog walk and immediately felt comfortable. Shelly is very friendly, respectful, and on time. Shelly came for the first time to take my black lab, and everything went smoothly. Shelly had no issues following the instructions to get into my building and apartment, which we went over on the first day. My black lab loved Shelly and had a great walk!”
About: I am caring and love to be around animals. There's nothing better than being around a cute fluffy that cares to just be fed and have fun! I have always been around animals and enjoy them! I will promise to make sure they have fun and are safe! I have a cocker spaniel who loves to play and have fun.. If you need your dog watched for a couple days or just walked and feed, I'll help you out! I am currently working full time but looking to help with any fur babies as their mommy or daddy needs to travel or need some assistance with taking you for a walk, etc. I currently only live in an apartment with my own fur baby who is 14 years old. I am willing to check on your babies and make adjustments as needed!
“I have been booking with Emma for over a month, 3-4x per week and she has been absolutely amazing. Always available when I needed her (even at last minute requests). She does so well with my fur baby and I can tell he gets super excited when she stops by. Definitely recommend!”
“Brandon has been an incredible dog walker, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is consistently reliable, always on time, and extremely communicative, which gives us great peace of mind. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and we always know our pup is in great hands. Brandon's professionalism and dependability make him truly exceptional. We are so grateful to have found him!”

About: I have been taking care of my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have 2 cats and had a dog for over 17 years. My neighbors and family have trusted me to take care of, feed, walk, and play with their animals for over 5 years. I am officially out of school for the summer May 28, and can pet sit anytime after! I plan to be away around half of the weekends in the summertime, but weekdays are pretty much open! I always keep a close eye on all animals, and treat yours like my own! I love playing with fur babies, as well as making sure they get to rest, eat, and be outside.
About: I have my own dog, so I know how much pets mean. I treat every animal with the same love, care, and attention as mine. I’m a college student with later classes, which means I’m available in the mornings and mid-mornings during the week. I also have weekends free, so I can give your pets plenty of time, love, and attention when you need it most As a fellow pet owner, I understand the trust it takes. I’ll respect your home and care for your dog with love, reliability, and genuine attention
