“Hannah took great care of Roxy. She gave me daily updates on Roxy and pictures. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Laura (and her fam) were wonderful caretakers for our pets. We had a long trip overseas and knowing they were in good hands made it all the more special. She was awesome with setting up a meet and greet as well as drop off and pick up when we booked her. Would love to have her care for our pets again and highly highly recommend. Thank you SO MUCH for your care of our dog and cat, Jack and Binx ❣️”
“Carlita was amazing!! She took such great care of Cannoli, sent photo updates and was very thorough with the drop off and all communication. Cannoli didn’t want to leave when we picked her up :) We can’t wait to use Carlita again!”
“Brianna C. Took excellent care of Nina. When I drop Nina off I know that she will be more than well looked after, she's going to have fun! Watching Nina play with new dog friends and enjoy her self eases my mind, making it so I can focus on my trip and not have to worry.”
“Deanna and Sully are incredible. My dog was in great hands with them and they gave me peace of mind. They sent me ton of pictures and let me know if there was anything of note with my dog. Pick them!”
“I can't say enough good things about Luis! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My pup usually gets a little anxious when I'm gone, but with Luis, he was calm and happy the whole time. Luis sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Mary took such amazing care of our pup Rocky while we were on vacation—she kept us consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. She made sure he got plenty of walks and even let him run wild in her backyard, which he absolutely loved!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hannah, Tiff, and Dottie! They sent lots of pictures. Reliable, flexible, and great communicators. Already booking for next time!”
“Ashley was amazing!! she took EXCELLENT care of my GiGi!! She sent pictures and information on how GiGi was doing daily. One outstanding thing about Ashley is that I had an extenuating circumstance just prior to my booking and Ashley was wonderful!! She was understanding and she worked with me which I greatly appreciated!! I absolutely HIGHLY recommend her!! She was just the best!!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Oreo. He had a great time, she took him on walks, sent us lots of pictures, and made everything easy for our schedule. Highly recommend- A+++! Thanks Jessica!”
“Jill and her family have watched our pup a couple times now and they are absolutely fantastic. They treat your dog like it's their own, and their pup Carolina got along with ours super well. They have a large and safe yard for the dogs to play in and we get plenty of updates. We'll definitely be boarding with them again!”
“Polly loved staying at Jerry's and having lots of doggy friends around 24/7. Great communication with Jerry and enjoyed the videos that he sent. Love that dogs can go into and out of the yard as they please. Loved that I didn't have to worry about Polly while I went out of town. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
“I cannot recommend Emily enough!! Our dog Gimli can be nervous about new experiences and I was amazed at how quickly he felt at home with Emily. She really went the extra mile at helping him to adjust in her home and with her pets, and he really thrived there. She is also a fantastic communicator and regularly shared detailed updates and photos that put our minds at ease. When we picked him up after his 8 day stay with her I’m not sure he wanted to leave!”
“Words can not express how grateful I am for Marissa & Mosieo for taking care of our sweet Chyna!! They sent updates daily and communicated with us about Chyna activities each day along with pictures. Chyna love their home and they care they provided. This is our second time using their services and gets better each time. Really sweet family. We needed to extend out time being out flight was delayed and it was no problem! Very understanding! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!”
“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.”
“Alsu took such great care of Wally again this week. He had lots of yard and playtime with Duke and I can tell from the pictures and when I pick him up that he is so happy! We have also been to Alsu’s several times and every time Wally comes back, he runs over and gives Alsu a big kiss! We will continue to go to her for our daycare needs!!”

“Ayla is the best sitter I could’ve asked for. She sent daily update messages with photos, was so communicative, and took care of my cat like she was her own. She provides such a loving environment that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away :)”
“Riley did a great job with my very shy and particular cat. She was able to get my cat to open up to her and through the pictures she sent my cat looked like she was the happiest and most comfortable she has ever been around another person!”
“Rodrigo did an amazing job while I was gone for a week! The pictures and report cards everyday leave me feeling like my animals are well looked after. This is not the first and definitely not the last time I will be requesting Rodrigo.”
“Heather was so great! Even our shy cat came out for her. Super communicative, timely and really pays attention to the details! Love having a cat lover giving our kitties some love!”
“Sarah has been wonderful. My cat is really shy but on her second visit Sarah coaxed some pets and purring out of my cat. She is a warm caring person as well as prompt, kind and conscientious. I will definitely look to have Sarah watch my cat again.”
“Xeque is the best!! She was so quick to respond and took such good care of our boys. We appreciated the pics and updates and the time she took to show them some extra love while we were away.”
“As always, Kim is great with our cats, plays with them, feeds them, and leaves a detailed report of her time here! She is the most perfect sitter and I appreciate everything she does for our cats!”
“Ashley was great with my cats, this was my first time using Rover. She came over prior and meet with me and the cats while we reviewed care. She was on time, sent me lots of pictures and updates after the visits. I recommend Ashley for your pets care!”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! I needed help on short notice, and Whitney went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and to make sure that my cats were taken care of while I was away. We were able to communicate feeding plans, and she kept me updated on how my cats were doing on each drop-in. I would definitely work with her again or recommend her services.”
“Nicole is so awesome! I’ve already rebooked because how great she was. The communication was top notch and she really took the time to get to know my cat Oliver. She even took quality photos. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amazing and intentional sitter! She made leaving our fur babies for the holidays stress and worry free. Great updates and photos of our cats, will definitely be booking with Laura again! :)”
“Ashley was great - she was so accommodating with a last minute request and kept up with daily updates throughout the stay. Would definitely have Boden stay there again!”
“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”

About: Experienced pet sitter with a customer service mindset. Having worked in an emergency Veterinary Hospital here in Utah, a Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Colorado and on a sheep farm as well, where I trained dogs for sheep herding races. Although I no longer have pets of my own I still love spending time with and interacting with animals. I understand that each animal has its own personality, whether they are extremely excited or like to be left alone and in their own space, I can easily adapt. I consider myself to be very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I am comfortable administering medication, as needed, taking animals to veterinary appointments, bathing, walking and cleaning up after animals. Can't wait to meet your and all your awesome animals!

About: I have had the joy of pet sitting since I was a student in high school! I had clients within the community, friends, family, and even some of my own teachers. I have over 1,500 hours in animal/veterinary experience and worked with everything from cuddly kittens, dairy cows, and various species of birds! I am currently a full time student( soon to be on summer break). I am available for drop in's every 6-8 hours throughout the weekday. I am available for overnight stays everyday of the week! Walking hours are more readily available on the weekends. Because I have a furry friend of my own in would be in your pets best interest for me to watch them where they are already comfortable. I treat everyones pet with the upmost respect, love, and care because I know what it means to leave your pet in someone else's hands. I have an open communication work-style and do everything in the best interest of my client and their pet.
“I can’t recommend Whitney enough! She was absolutely amazing—great communication from start to finish, very patient with my dog, and really attentive to our specific needs. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Carlita for any of your dogs needs. She is not only the best dog mom to her Snow, but she will treat your dog as her own. My Zoe is small and aging and it’s not easy for me to find someone I trust with her care. With Carlita, I’m glad to have found someone I can leave Zoe with overnight or to come visit her when I’m away. She adheres to all of my Zoe’s special needs (pj’s at night are a must, her food must be warmed, and she has some medications) and ensures her comfort and safety. She plays with her, sends me photos, and makes me aware of any concerns she notices with Zoe in my absence. She is punctual and communicates clearly and timely. Your fur baby is in good hands with her.”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs my entire childhood. Pet care was incorporated into my daily chores, so I am very familiar with picking up pet waste, bathing, brushing, and feeding. I also understand pet body language well and watch for signs of fear, anxiety, and illness with how they move their ears, eyes, and tails. I'm pretty flexible! I do not work a full-time job at the moment (this will eventually change). Rover fits my schedule perfectly at present. I have a small golden doodle who is a ball of energy, so I understand very energetic dogs that get the zoomies! My goal is to provide the meals, bathroom breaks, and playtime, that your pets need while you’re away.
“Thank you so much for all you did! ❤️ I'm glad he was a good boy. Feel free to help work with him on no jumping. He does know sit and stay for when you leave too! I hope he didn't scratch you up or make bruises, he didn't mean to if he did.”
“I was fortunate enough to live walking distance from Shana and my new 5 month old rescue pup and I walked down to say hi. She is a genuinely nice person and truly enjoys loving and caring for dogs. I feel ccomfortable having her in my home and to care for my dog mid day when I can’t get home to take him out. Rover is a pretty amazing system as well!! Thanks Shana!!”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter to take our girl, Millie, off of our hands for a few hours so we could celebrate our baby shower! I would not hesitate to have her watch Millie again! Thank you Sarah ?”
“Laura is so amazing with our dog Riley (and Riley can be a handful)! I love all her updates and pictures, it always makes my day to see her and know she’s having a great time!”
About: I’m a pediatric ICU nurse who brings the same compassion and reliability to pet care. I have baseline experience taking care of my own cats as well as my friends' dogs. I can easily follow specific feeding instructions to keep your pets' diet consistent and potty-walks are a breeze! Due to my own cats medication routine and my nursing career, I know how important medication timing is, if you pet needs any routine medications while I care for them you can be rest assured that it will get done, and get done right! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby with someone else. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I have a flexible nightshift schedule that allows me to have more opportunities to take care of your furbaby. Being a nurse, I only work a few nights a week and can be available in and out of typical working hours to provide your pet care and attention! I will be available almost any day of the week for single or multiple daily check-ins, potty walks, zoomie-releasing play sessions in gated areas or carefully in your home, scheduled feedings and more! I live on the cusp of Knightdale, so commuting to the Triangle is not a problem, even for checking in every few hours. In their home, your pet probably feels most comfortable! I can provide them lots of fun and safe interactions while you are away, making sure they don't feel lonely as they wait for you to come back home! I'll always be sure to stay in the same room with them, you never know what kind of mischief they can get into if left to their own devices unsupervised! Breaking into the treat drawer won't fly under my radar! If your pet needs to stay at my apartment for any reason, I am on the first floor, so no stairs needed if that is a struggle for your pet. I do own two shy but friendly cats, but my apartment has enough space that they can be put in a separate room for a portion of the day while your kiddo and I hang out! We will probably just sit together on my couch while I read or watch TV together, nothing too loud that would cause any stress.
“Al and Laura are wonderful with our super anxious dog Pepper. They are sweet and patient with her, and she has warmed up to both of them quickly just being with them on their walks while we are at work. She gets to spend the long weekend with them and I am absolutely sure she will be in wonderful hands and will have a great time with them and their sweet pups!”
“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”
“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”
About: As a work-from-home professional, I can keep your fur baby company all day long, and check in multiple times a day. Does your energetic herding dog need twice-daily walks or visits to the dog park? No problem -- they're just like the Australian Shepherd I grew up with and the Rough Collie I petsit regularly. I am also an ardent cat lover with experience caring for my aging childhood cat (age 20+), as well as a skittish rescue with seasonal allergies. If you have a senior cat who needs extra care or shy kitten who needs daily medication, I'm the petsitter for you. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accomodate boarding every day of the week. I'm also available for daycare across Raleigh, although I may have more limited availability on Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. Feel free to ask about my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a small, fenced-in patio and my one cat. She is typically kept in a separate part of the house during boarding, so I can accommodate animals who are reactive to cats. The yard is great for smaller dogs who enjoy being outside, but I can also care for larger animals who need lots of exercise!
“Nicole has been wonderful for my golden retriever. After starting a new position with early hours, I needed someone to walk our “stranger danger” pup! She’s been patient and loving with him. So thankful!”
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 a college student who has classes int the morning and afternoon and ask for your patience to fit the service around my class schedule! I am a flexible person none the less:) 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

“Hannah took great care of Roxy. She gave me daily updates on Roxy and pictures. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Brianna C. Took excellent care of Nina. When I drop Nina off I know that she will be more than well looked after, she's going to have fun! Watching Nina play with new dog friends and enjoy her self eases my mind, making it so I can focus on my trip and not have to worry.”
“I can't say enough good things about Luis! He took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My pup usually gets a little anxious when I'm gone, but with Luis, he was calm and happy the whole time. Luis sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that pets are comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hannah, Tiff, and Dottie! They sent lots of pictures. Reliable, flexible, and great communicators. Already booking for next time!”
“Ashley was amazing!! she took EXCELLENT care of my GiGi!! She sent pictures and information on how GiGi was doing daily. One outstanding thing about Ashley is that I had an extenuating circumstance just prior to my booking and Ashley was wonderful!! She was understanding and she worked with me which I greatly appreciated!! I absolutely HIGHLY recommend her!! She was just the best!!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Oreo. He had a great time, she took him on walks, sent us lots of pictures, and made everything easy for our schedule. Highly recommend- A+++! Thanks Jessica!”
“Jill and her family have watched our pup a couple times now and they are absolutely fantastic. They treat your dog like it's their own, and their pup Carolina got along with ours super well. They have a large and safe yard for the dogs to play in and we get plenty of updates. We'll definitely be boarding with them again!”
“Polly loved staying at Jerry's and having lots of doggy friends around 24/7. Great communication with Jerry and enjoyed the videos that he sent. Love that dogs can go into and out of the yard as they please. Loved that I didn't have to worry about Polly while I went out of town. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
“I cannot recommend Emily enough!! Our dog Gimli can be nervous about new experiences and I was amazed at how quickly he felt at home with Emily. She really went the extra mile at helping him to adjust in her home and with her pets, and he really thrived there. She is also a fantastic communicator and regularly shared detailed updates and photos that put our minds at ease. When we picked him up after his 8 day stay with her I’m not sure he wanted to leave!”
“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.”
“We are new to town and were so nervous to leave our dog with a new sitter. Archie had a great weekend with Arden and we received a lot of pics which made us feel comforted while away. We will definitely use her again!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better care giver! Martica was incredibly kind and responsive, keeping me updated with pictures and videos throughout my time away. It really eased my anxiety knowing my heartbeat was in such good hands. I felt completely at ease, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Kelly was awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog Finn with her. We had just recently moved to the area but still needed to take care of a lot of things out of town. Kelly was able to do a meet and greet with us beforehand and it went great. She has a huge fenced in yard for all the dogs to roam around in and play, and Finn fit in well with her and her dogs. During Finn's actual stay, he got comfortable in her home and made new friends with both the resident and visiting dogs. Kelly made sure to send me pictures and videos throughout his stay too, which I very much appreciated. It was obvious to me that Finn was well taken care of and that Kelly genuinely loves all the dogs in her care. She was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I will definitely bring Finn back to stay with her the next time there is a need. Thanks again Kelly! Finn will miss you, Miska, Ruby, and all the other dogs who came to play! :)”
“Yamy & Alfonso the absolute best pet sitters! My precious Leo was super happy, loved, cared for daily. Communication was beyond excellent and I felt super happy and relieved on my trip. Since I knew my baby Leo was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“Cooper had a great Christmas with Brittany! He was cuddled and loved on and got plenty of time playing fetch. I got the cutest pictures every day and it made me feel so relieved knowing Cooper was safe an being loved!”
