“Rose was phenomenal! She was great at sending us pictures and keeping us updated on how our sweet girl was doing. Kobi was so well taken care of and we truly appreciate you so much! Next time we come down to the Outer Banks we’ll be sure to reach out. Thank you again.”
About: Hi! I am 32 years old and I have been a groomer for 14 years. I owned my own grooming salon and sold the business to return back to college. I am Fear Free and AKC SAFE groomer certified which means I know how to handle animals safely and trained in animal behavior. I would love the opportunity to take care of your babies promising you they will be safe and loved! ❤️I also still groom small dogs under 40 lbs. If you are interested in a groom message me (: I attend college online at ECU so I am available any day or time. I do need a few hours a day to spend doing my school work, which won’t affect drop ins or walks, but if I’m house sitting I would do this work from your home (: I understand that every dog is different so I am very flexible on what kind of care you need for your pet. If you want a stroller walk for senior pets or a run for an active dog or if you simply just want me to play fetch in the house. You know what your babies need the best!
“Sam was an excellent sitter for my dachshund. I received lots of updates (even from a creek!), and he seems to have had a lot of fun. I can tell he enjoyed staying with Sam and I will definitely bring him back :) 5 stars all around”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“Michelle was a wonderful sitter for AJ! She was kind, thoughtful, and communicated with me throughout the visit. AJ loved her, and enjoyed all the walks and outdoor time. She treated AJ like her own and we are grateful we did not have to worry for his care while we were away.”
“Copper had a great time with Taylor and her animal family! He was zonked right after we got home from having so much fun! She sent me plenty of pictures and videos while I was away of Copper to ensure me he was loving it!! Would definitely recommend.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Theresa and her family. The next time I am anywhere near the OBX, I will definitely be going back to Theresa. I found myself in a tough situation where I needed a very last minute dog sitter for my less than two-week old rescue pup, Lilah, who was also on meds at the time. As a new dog owner + an owner of a dog I didn't know that well, I was obviously very nervous to be leaving her. Upon arriving to her house, I could see that Theresa and her family would provide the highest care for Lilah and make her one of their own for the weekend—that they did and I'm pretty sure Lilah had the time of her life. Lilah has severe separation anxiety, EXTREMELY high energy as a young pit/boxer mix, and is still working on her dog socialization skills, but they were absolutely fantastic in working with all of her quirks and needs throughout the weekend. They also have an amazing, massive fenced in backyard that was perfect for her energy needs, and it was great that she got in some socialization with their sweet dogs. Their patience, attention, and care with Lilah left her a better pup then when I dropped her off. If you're anywhere near the OBX, Theresa is definitely the way to go.”

“Mrs. Rose and family took great care of our little Shirley. We feel very confident and comfortable with them. Our kitten was also comfortable. I believe she really enjoyed herself. We even received pictures as to how she was doing. It really put us at ease.”
“Lauren is amazing! She took care of our two cats - Raja & Carmela - and house sat for a week while we were on a trip. She provided thorough updates throughout the day, and we are so grateful for the love and care she provided to our two cats. Thank You so much Lauren!”
“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”

“One of the most professional dog sitters I have encountered on this app. I have been using the Rover app for a while and she is hands down the most qualified. I was amazed at the set up she has for the dogs and how charismatic she was to all her guests. Very attentive and gives updates throughout your pups stay. If you need a dog sitter in the outer banks, I highly recommend her!”
“Teddy & Mini had a blast! They had so much fun that they were sleeping on the drive home. Thank you Michelle for taking care of my babies like they were your own! Definitely recommend this sitter & will be booking again if we are ever in the area again!”
About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
“Tracy is a wonderful dog person and was very accommodating to my schedule. My dog was comfortable at their house right from the get-go and Tracy sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay.”
“Nicole took fantastic care of Wilbur! We felt like he was in great hands beginning to end. He was the same happy little guy when we picked him up, and Nicole took some really cute pics of him looking happy and cozy in her care.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13. I used to volunteer at a humane society and now partake in “adopt a dog for a day” at our local shelter! It’s always such a great time and i’d love to give a hand to anyone who needs it with pet care. I’m currently working part time with a super flexible schedule and open to all sorts of activities! I do have transportation and can usually work my schedule around anything. I have lots of space for pups to run around and play. I also love walking through the woods/beach or going to the dog park with doggos. I am equipped with lots of treats and am ready to take on anything.
About: Loved dogs my whole life and got my first one at age 24- five years ago, enjoy taking my dog to the beach and on walks near water. He is pretty high energy so I’m very accustomed to dogs that need constant stimulation and love :) I work remotely 8-5 Monday thru Friday but have lunch breaks and other breaks throughout the day to help let out or walk pets nearby or stay overnight when needed. I have weekend availability as well. I have a fenced backyard and typically walk my dog twice a day and let him run on beach in evenings while playing fetch in the waves. I’ve watched dogs aged 7 weeks old to 15 years old and comfortable with all ages in between :)
About: I am dog CPR certified; I have experience working with an amazing dog day care. I can provide the name of the day care and references upon request. I am lucky to have an immense amount of experience with dogs. Growing up with two dogs as part of our family definitely enhanced my love for all dogs. Dog day cares require you to work with a wide range of dog personalities, and I feel equipped to work with all kinds of dogs. I work part time currently; therefore I have more open availability in my schedule to work with dogs. My schedule is flexible and governed by me. I love walking dogs and taking them to local parks. Learning about the owner's comfort level with their dog interacting with other dogs is always taken into account while walking their dog!
“Meagan is truely a sensitive and caring dog whisperer, at a time we needed someone to help out with Luna, a newly adopted rescue dog with a traumatic history. Luna quickly trusted Meagan for walks, and overnight dog sitting when we could not be there, and blossomed into a more confident and trusting dog under her care. Luna adopted her as part of the caring human pack which she can now depend on. We definitely look forward to further visits, whenever her schedule matches with Luna's needs.”
