“Anna was exactly what I was looking for. Someone kind who loves animals and took my Sophie in and treated her like family. I was given updates and pictures on how she was doing. This was the safest I have ever felt being away from my baby:)”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“I can barely begin to describe the amazingness that is Zydae. From our very first message, I knew that she had an incredible gift, and that my senior dog Kuma would be in perfect hands. I had a week long trip planned, and Zydae was accommodating from the very start. She sent loads of sweet pictures, and Kuma immediately made himself at home with her other fur friends. I was so happy and relieved that he was having such a great time, and a little worried he may forget about me!! I came home to an incredibly happy old hound, who basically got a week long retreat at a resort! I couldn't give a higher recommendation, and look forward to working with Zydae the next time I need a sitter. THANK YOU for being the perfect sitter Zydae!!”
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“I unexpectedly got into a car crash the day before my booking with Joaquin. He was gracious enough to pick Latte up since I didn’t have transportation. I’m so grateful for his kindness! Everytime I pick up Latte she’s tired and sleeps through the entire night which is great. As long as he is on Rover, I will continue to book with him! You should too.”
“My dog Dakota loved staying with Tami! I was in town for the weekend for a family visit and I couldn’t keep Dakota with me during the time, but I still wanted her close to me. Tami texted me with updates and pictures every day and I could tell my dog was safe and comfortable with her. She did a really good job working with my dog and did everything to make Dakota feel at home. Will definitely use her in the future if I bring Dakota back and would highly recommend!”
“Rhett and Sadie stayed a weekend here for the second time and they loved it! Just like last time, we picked them up and could tell they were happy and relaxed and right at home! The sitters are great communicators and we highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Ro was a wonderful sitter for Major! We especially loved the frequent check-ins and photos to let us know how he was doing. We look forward to booking with Ro again the next time we need someone to watch Major 🙌🏻”
“Lakonka was theeee best sitter. From the meet and greet to the end of Phoebe’s stay, she was extremely professional, super friendly and easy to communicate with. I received pictures or a video every day which is truly appreciated when I’m away from my baby awhile. I highly recommend Lakonka for your fur baby’s needs. So much so, I’ve already coordinated the next time Phoebe will be in her care :)”
“Starla and her family were loving and caring with Lola. She replied inmediately to all my texts and sent constant pictures of Lola. I will surely leave Lola with her again. Thanks!”
“Grace was wonderful with our two babies, she was very friendly and responsible. She took plenty of pictures, videos and sent messages updating us on how they were doing. We could tell they were enjoying their stay which really helped us feel better as this was our first time being apart! We will definitely be using her services again and we highly recommend her for anyone with dogs or puppies. Thanks the Rose family!”
“Britteny was great and Fiona loved her stay. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. Britteny made it feel like a second home for Fiona and updated me daily with pics and texts.”
“Vanessa was very accommodating with our ever changing drop off and pick up times. We will definitely ask Vanessa to care for our senior dog Millie the next time we're in the Durham area.”

“I highly recommend Shannah! I reached out to her with a last minute request for drop ins with my cat and she was amazing! She provided great updates and lots of pictures every day, and also handled the few issues that came up really well. She was super communicative, reliable, and my cat liked her right away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of Lucky! He had been sick the week before I left town, so I was especially nervous about leaving him. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of and followed all of my detailed instructions regarding his medications, feeding, and routine perfectly. She kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“Lauren was great! Our dog absolutely loved her, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon. She is very sweet, and we know that our dog is in good hands with her while we are away.”
“Cynthia went above and beyond. Our cats were in good care while my husband and I were away. Cynthia cared for them as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable and kind. I fully recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“Gretchen is phenomenal. You can tell that she genuinely cares about taking the best care of your pet. She is kind, personable, and an all around exceptional sitter. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve spent plenty of time caring for my mom’s cats and really enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and of course lots of attention and cuddles when they’re looking for them! I know cats can be a little particular about their routines, so I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them the patience and care they’re used to!
“Daysi took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative before booking her and during the check ins. I highly recommend Daysi for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I am a happy cat mom myself but have always grown up around cats. My family has had cats since I was young and I have always been comfortable around them! Being a cat owner myself I am comfortable administering medicines and cleaning litter boxes, and understand the care a cat needs.
“Kelly took excellent care of mybtwobpets while I was out of town for a week. He was a great communicator and sent pictures of the cats when he visited. I'd definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needs pet care.”
“I’m so happy I booked Jessica! She did a great job checking on my 6 month old puppy, who has lots of specific needs. You can tell she really loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met and they’re feeling loved!”
“She came accepted the 2x/day drop-in 3days in a row within minutes of my request! She was very accommodating! Loved on my puppy! Loved the picture updates and report card of the visit! I will be using her again!”

“This was a last minute book and we couldn’t be more pleased. Sarah was great communicating with me since my schedule changed after booking and Cotde was so well taken care of. We will definitely use them again.”
“Our pup loved Zydae and her 2 dogs. A very balanced and sweet bunch who took our dog Mars in just like one of their own. He was eager to arrive for day care each day. We appreciated the help and the loving touch.”
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
“Cici loved going to Kelly's! She was wagging her tail and (annoyingly) jumping all over the place for daycare a few days after the meet and greet. She got to play with another dog about her size. Cici was ASLEEP a couple hours after I brought her home. She hardly ever settles on her own! I will definitely be bringing Cici back to Kelly's!”
“A great first experience using Rover! Our Finley had the best time, playing and being loved on. What a warm and inviting family, sent lots of pictures and videos. They even gave our pup a bath after they got into some mud. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!! ❤️”

About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!

I also not only want what's best for your dog, but also what's best for you as the owner! I abide by set rules given, and always, always ask before doing anything out of schedule with animals! I'm currently working full-time, but I would love to make changes into petcare, if all goes well. Let me know when you need a sitter, and I can arrange! How I would care for a client's pet would solely depend on how the client would like for me to care for his/her pet. All clients have different rules to go by! What one client does for their pet, another client may not agree! Also, I keep in mind, how I care for my pets at home, may be different than someone else, and that's okay. All pets have different personalities, and care would be different with each one.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom myself, so I know just how much our pets mean to us. I have dogs of my own and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your fur baby needs an overnight sitter, walks, playtime, meals, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

I’m comfortable with routines, schedules, feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Im a mom and I have dogs of my own, so I’m pretty used to taking care of everyone and keeping up with a routine 😂. When I’m watching someone else’s pets, I really just treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow whatever routine they’re used to, make sure they’re fed and let out, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and of course lots of cuddles if they’re into that. I’ll also respect your home and leave things the way I found them. I know I’d be nervous leaving my own pets with someone, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being loved and taken care of while you’re gone. 🐾❤️

About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.
“Jessica is terrific!! I have a sweet dog, but she can be kinda difficult to wake up, and then she can have a mind of her own when it comes to walks (and she's a big dog). Jessica took the time needed to wake her up gently, give her a good walk, feed her, and settle her back down for her nap. I could see that my dog went on her "preferred" walks both times. And Jessica texted me throughout to let me know how things were going. I would definitely call her again (and am glad to know somebody so dependable - and whom my dog likes!. Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs & cats since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!
About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm.

“Anna was exactly what I was looking for. Someone kind who loves animals and took my Sophie in and treated her like family. I was given updates and pictures on how she was doing. This was the safest I have ever felt being away from my baby:)”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“I can barely begin to describe the amazingness that is Zydae. From our very first message, I knew that she had an incredible gift, and that my senior dog Kuma would be in perfect hands. I had a week long trip planned, and Zydae was accommodating from the very start. She sent loads of sweet pictures, and Kuma immediately made himself at home with her other fur friends. I was so happy and relieved that he was having such a great time, and a little worried he may forget about me!! I came home to an incredibly happy old hound, who basically got a week long retreat at a resort! I couldn't give a higher recommendation, and look forward to working with Zydae the next time I need a sitter. THANK YOU for being the perfect sitter Zydae!!”
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“I unexpectedly got into a car crash the day before my booking with Joaquin. He was gracious enough to pick Latte up since I didn’t have transportation. I’m so grateful for his kindness! Everytime I pick up Latte she’s tired and sleeps through the entire night which is great. As long as he is on Rover, I will continue to book with him! You should too.”
“Rhett and Sadie stayed a weekend here for the second time and they loved it! Just like last time, we picked them up and could tell they were happy and relaxed and right at home! The sitters are great communicators and we highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Ro was a wonderful sitter for Major! We especially loved the frequent check-ins and photos to let us know how he was doing. We look forward to booking with Ro again the next time we need someone to watch Major 🙌🏻”
“Lakonka was theeee best sitter. From the meet and greet to the end of Phoebe’s stay, she was extremely professional, super friendly and easy to communicate with. I received pictures or a video every day which is truly appreciated when I’m away from my baby awhile. I highly recommend Lakonka for your fur baby’s needs. So much so, I’ve already coordinated the next time Phoebe will be in her care :)”
“Grace was wonderful with our two babies, she was very friendly and responsible. She took plenty of pictures, videos and sent messages updating us on how they were doing. We could tell they were enjoying their stay which really helped us feel better as this was our first time being apart! We will definitely be using her services again and we highly recommend her for anyone with dogs or puppies. Thanks the Rose family!”
“Britteny was great and Fiona loved her stay. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. Britteny made it feel like a second home for Fiona and updated me daily with pics and texts.”
“Vanessa was very accommodating with our ever changing drop off and pick up times. We will definitely ask Vanessa to care for our senior dog Millie the next time we're in the Durham area.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Abby took excellent care of my 2 dogs. They came home happy and well fed. We would absolutely recommend Abby's help with your pets and will be asking her to help us again in the future. Thanks so much for such great care!”
“Lauren was absolutely great! I was so thankful she was able to watch my 2 babies on a holiday weekend! She even came to me for a meet and greet beforehand which was so helpful. I would highly recommend and will be using her services again in the future!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and family life. I am a single mom to my active 14-year-old son, who shares my love for animals. We both enjoy spending time with pets, and caring for animals is something that is already a meaningful part of our everyday lives. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and they are an important part of our family. I am committed to making sure every pet in my care receives the exercise, affection, companionship, and individual attention they need. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.
