“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!”
“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! :)”
“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!!!!!!!”
“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!”
“Mariel and Teresa did an exceptional job watching my dog Ruby for an extended stay! While she is not a runner, it was reassuring that they put an AirTag on her in the case she got lost. They were very communicative and sent both pictures and videos regularly to help me feel connected to my pup while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them because you can feel their warmth and love for animals as soon as you meet them. I will certainly reach out again when in need.”
“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. 😊”

“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.”

“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”
“This was the first time I’ve ever left Zara with anyone outside of my home. But, let me tell you….Zara and I feel extremely lucky to have found and been able to use Lesley for Zara’s stay. Lesley and her family were absolutely amazing and took such good care of Zara. It was clear that Lesley loves animals and takes this “job” seriously. Lesley and her family truly welcomed and treated Zara as their own. It took Zara a while to warm up being in a new environment and all. But, once she did, you could tell she was enjoying herself. Lesley cared for Zara in the same way(s) I do; following our usual eating, sleeping, and playing routines. Lesley maintained great communication with me and provided me with updates and several pictures and a video. All of which eased my anxiety a ton! I can’t praise Lesley and her family enough! I will be booking with Lesley again in the future. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Alexandria was very accommodating when taking our pup fairly last minute for the night. She kept us well informed with updates and photos throughout, and we knew he was in good hands with her and her own pups. He seemed to have a lot of fun!”
“Ariana was AMAZING! Tons of photos and updates. Gracie had a blast and her dogs tolerated the doodle energy with such sweet patience. Will definitely be using Ariana again!”
“Daniela was a wonderful sitter! She’s so warm and friendly that my dog was instantly at ease upon meeting her. She took great care of my dog, and I appreciated how she sent regular pics and updates throughout my dog’s multiple day stay. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Kordula and her family! She was very flexible with our changing travel plans due to weather and sent daily photos and updates. Thank you!”

“Andrew was very nice with my cat, Hans! He was available to drop in over the Christmas holiday! Andrew was able to provide lots of photos and notes of what they played with while I was away which I appreciate. I came home to a happy cat, I would use Andrew again!”

“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with my two cats. Her genuine enjoyment at playing with them, caring for them, and spending time with them was extremely comforting while I was away. She was very responsible, always on time, and very communicative. She never tried to cut corners and I felt very safe and at ease with her in my home. I plan on utilizing her services in the future for sure or even just giving the cats a special play day where they can hang out together.”
“Megan was wonderful! We came home to happy kitties and she gave them plenty of snuggles and love which always makes being away so much easier. We'll definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Kelly was fantastic with communication both before and during her drop-in visits with our cat, Billie Jean. Our cat is on the older side and has some medical issues, and Kelly did an amazing job administering her medication and making sure our cat was taken care of. Would highly recommend Kelly, and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have two of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, playtime, and giving cats the space they need when they’re not feeling social. I’ve cared for cats with very different personalities, from affectionate lap cats to independent cats who prefer a quieter approach. My goal is always to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away.
“Jiahui was extremely communicative and thorough with her care for our two cats. She handled unexpected situations without hesitation. We will definitely trust our babies in her care again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience with caring for puppies, and more elder dogs. During Covid, my roommate and I started fostering dogs. We fostered an old sweet yellow lab, 2 puppies with worms and that were to be neutered, and a rambunctious pit bull that suffered from separation anxiety. For the last 4 years, I’ve been formally dog walking and pet sitting. I travel for a lot for work so I’m not able to have a pet of my own, but I’m more than happy to walk and care for yours! My schedule is quite all over the place, so feel free to reach out and I’ll try to accommodate! I’m a nurse and I work three days a week, so the rest of the week I’m fairly available! I won’t be able to offer overnight boarding or sitting at my residence, but Im more than happy to commute to yours! I can walk your dogs, play with them, try to reinforce good habits, just let me know what you’re looking for!
“I chose Taylor to watch my cat while we moved houses. I needed someone who didn’t have any other pets to help reduce stress. She was absolutely amazing during this process. She was very helpful and kept me informed on how the stay was going throughout each day. I would highly recommend!”
“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 :)”
“My playful cat had such a good time with Joan -- I could tell in the multiple pictures of my cat totally absorbed. Joan is clearly an animal lover, and I felt comfortable and happy with her in my home.”
“Hayden took great care of my pup while I was away. He seemed to really enjoy his time with her! She followed all care instructions and provided plenty of updates and photos. I would book Hayden again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”
“There are not enough good things I can say about Maria. She is such a kind human and caring petsitter with the best, most detailed visit notes. One of our three cats is diabetic and needs twice daily insulin shots, there is no one else I would trust on Rover while we’re away from home!”

“Arden is the best! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with my schedule. Pups were happy and seemed to warm up to her immediately. We are from a different state so we didn’t get the chance to meet beforehand but I was confident she’d be a great fit and was correct! Anytime we are in town she will be our go to ☺️”
About: I am just your average mother to dogs, cats and little humans running around. I am also your local dog/cat groomer. I have 10 years of experience and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! I am very confident on handling all sorts of pets, pets with special needs, senior pups, puppies, pregnant mommas, unfixed fur babies and of course pups who might need a little discipline. I am pretty observant on behavior and can tend to whatever needs. I am very active(having 2 boys will do that) but I can also lay back. This also isn’t my first rover account. I used to partner with rover a few years back but since having kids and life changes, had to recreate a new updated account. I’m currently a stay at home momma during the week and groom during the weekend. My hubby is home weekends so pets are never left unattended. I have a fenced yard and love to be outdoors if weather permits. I also won’t pass up a cuddle session if thats what decided for the day <3
“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
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.
“Karisa was amazing with our 5 month old lab. He adjusted perfectly fine and she sent updates and pictures. Will absolutely be coming to Karisa again in the near future. Thank you!!”

“I'm a return customer - Deanna's communication is great and my pup is so excited to see her. I can tell how much hes been loved on when I pick him up and drop him off :)”
“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!”

Safety and comfort are number 1 priority!
About: ⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: We only board Dachshunds (no other breeds). 💕 For 30+ years of marriage, our home has been lively with dachshunds and kiddos. But between becoming empty nesters and sadly losing our sweet dachshund, Bella, it feels so quiet. Hosting dogs is our way of bringing back the cuddles and laughs we've been missing so much. This is deeply personal to us, which is why we exclusively host dachshunds and only one family's dogs at a time. This ensures your doxies receive our undivided attention in our quiet, safe Cary home, completely free from the stress of unfamiliar dogs. To give you peace of mind, we send text updates, photos, and videos throughout the day so you always know your pups are happy and loved. ✈️RDU: Because we are located so close to RDU, we offer airport pick-up and drop-off service for a small extra fee to make your travel days stress-free! I work from home and because we do not currently have any children or pets in our home, we will tailor our daily routine around your dog, maintaining their meal, treat, and potty break times. Your dog will never have to share space or compete for attention with any other animals. Our home is a doggie paradise: The Couch: Our living room has a giant, low profile, comfy couch loaded with soft blankets and pillows...perfect to burrow under. Sunny Window Bench: We have a killer sunny window bench that overlooks our entire backyard, making it the absolute perfect spot for warm midday naps or watching “Dog TV” (AKA lizards, squirrels, & birds). The Backyard: We have a large securely fenced backyard with plenty of grass for zoomies and sunny spots for afternoon sunbathing.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and grew up helping care for our family dogs, doing everything from walks and feeding, to lots of attention and playtime.

“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!”
“Alexandra looked after my dog and cat while I was away on a work trip. She was always quick with replies and attentive to my dog’s needs while walking her in the hot weather! She was flexible with scheduling the initial meet and greet, pet visits, and took good care of my pets! Will hope to use her services again when needed in the future.”
“Megan always does a wonderful job walking Cooper when I’m at work! She is very communicative and provides an update about each visit and photos from the walk and/or playtime. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her when needed - today, she arrived to find that Cooper had gotten into the trash and littered it all over the downstairs. Without complaint or me having to ask her, she cleaned all the trash up while I was gone and then let me know what had taken place. This is just another one of many reasons I would highly recommend Megan if you’re ever in need of her services!”

About: I’m a dog mom so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog. He’s my buddy and we’ve gone on more hikes and walks than I can count. I trained him when he was a little pup and I cared for him post surgery when he needed a little extra love and support (he gets a lot🥰). I’ve helped my family and friends by caring for their dogs when they go away or get stuck at work. I also volunteer at the animal shelter where most of my time is spent dog walking. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and my dog is my baby so I can promise that I will take the very best care of your pup!💛 I’m flexible with timeframes and requests as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to help and I can’t wait to meet your pup!😊 Being a dog mom, dog-sitting, and volunteering at the animal shelter have all helped me develop the necessary skills to take the very best care of your pup!
“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: Hi all, my name is Andrew and I have about 8 years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. Currently I own three cats, one of which is epileptic and takes daily medication. I also have a senior chihuahua (who’s basically a cat at this point). I find that all animals are different and have unique personalities. Some can be very friendly and sociable. While others just want to be left alone. I try to accurately gauge those personalities and provide interactions from there. Whether it’s daily play sessions with their favorite toys or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their home. All of my pets’ diets consist of different foods (picky I know). However I understand the importance of providing the correct nutrition and dietary needs for your favorite furry friends. My one cat is also epileptic and requires medication twice a day. Likewise I would be comfortable providing oral medication if needed (as long as they are willing and trusting of strangers).
About: What sets me apart is my personal experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve owned and cared for my Schnoodle for the past 10 years, giving me firsthand experience with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, and understanding a dog’s needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have pet sat a variety of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers a calmer environment, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I live an active lifestyle and already spend time outdoors walking, exercising, and staying active, which makes dog walks and play sessions an easy and enjoyable part of my day. I am organized, reliable, and comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and care routines provided by pet owners. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to be punctual and dependable. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop in visits, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I can incorporate those responsibilities into my schedule while ensuring your pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so pet care is not just a responsibility for me, it’s something I look forward to and take pride in doing well. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, routines, and any special needs to help pets feel as relaxed as possible. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks, outdoor time, and play sessions to ensure their safety. I make sure they have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention, and get the exercise and enrichment they need. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s property, keeping everything clean, organized, and secure. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“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!”
“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! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years. I’ve watched and cared for dogs a lot. I want your pup to enjoy their time while you’re enjoying yours. We have a fenced in yard so your dog can be safely let out. I also have a dog of my own so am already on routine for morning / evening walks. Would love to hangout and spend time with your best friend. Me and my boyfriend are pretty flexible after work on weekdays and on weekends. We can curtail your dogs time with us based on what your dog enjoys! We love finding new walking trails, hanging at the house, etc. Just let us know what your pup loves and we’ll try our best to accommodate ! Weekly routine M- F: I am at work from 730-430 Sat-Sun: pretty much at the home most of the day. Can curtail my schedule to your pups needs! *if known ahead of time might be able to get off early on Friday for drop off! Me and my boyfriend love pets at our home and want to make sure they’re as comfortable as can be. We are both pet lovers and want to make sure your pup is happy while you’re away. Again please just let us know what makes your pup happy and we’ll try our best to ensure your dog has a great time while you’re away !
“Sarah was amazing in communication throughout our extended trip and we would continue to recommend her to anyone that wants to feel comfortable that their dog is in great hands! Can't think her and her husband enough!”
“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.”
“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Alexandria was very accommodating when taking our pup fairly last minute for the night. She kept us well informed with updates and photos throughout, and we knew he was in good hands with her and her own pups. He seemed to have a lot of fun!”
“Ariana was AMAZING! Tons of photos and updates. Gracie had a blast and her dogs tolerated the doodle energy with such sweet patience. Will definitely be using Ariana again!”
“Daniela was a wonderful sitter! She’s so warm and friendly that my dog was instantly at ease upon meeting her. She took great care of my dog, and I appreciated how she sent regular pics and updates throughout my dog’s multiple day stay. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of (and spoiling) Remi while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, knowing she was with such a caring family helped us truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear from the updates, photos and videos that she was happy, and well cared for, and that meant so much to us. We really appreciate the time, and extra attention, you showed her. Thank you again for giving us such peace of mind — we would absolutely trust you with her again in the future.”
“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.”
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.
“Diana & Jesse took such great care of our boys! They were so great about introducing our dogs to their pets safely, making sure we were comfortable, and keeping us posted with regular updates during our trip. Their pets are super sweet and playful as well. I could tell our boys had so much fun and can’t wait to go back!”
“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!!!”

“Dyvonne took such great care of my Sadie girl! I was able to book her last min after another sitter canceled on me last minute! She communicated and sent pics/videos and Sadie was happy and exhausted when she came home :) she loved running around in the yard which she doesn’t have at home!! Thanks again, Dyvonne!”
“Meghan was a great sitter for my pup when we had to leave town for a long weekend! Westly and my pup seemed to get along great and played in Meghan big yard. Meghan sent photos with updates everyday and was very flexible in the drop/off pick up times due to our flight schedule. We would definitely book with her again!”
