“Thanks for last minute booking accommodations! Happier dog than if he was boarded for sure, lol. I know he's a handful, but just a big baby who wants attention. That’s why i love Rover.”
“Although I had to cancel, I was so impressed by Michelle’s wonderful personality and love for dogs that I will most definitely call on her in the event that I will need a boarding facility for my beloved Binky in the future.”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
“Charles was great with my high energy girl. She had a great fenced in yard to wander and a convenient dog door as well. She got along great with his dog Pippa. Charles was also very accommodating and kind enough to pick her up and drop her off while I had my car in the shop. I would definitely use Charles as a sitter again!”
“This is a long overdue review. Lawrence is so reliable and always makes my pup feel right at home. Thanks to Lawrence she is more comfortable being socialized with other dogs.”
“Scarlett was great with my pups. I have one senior dog and one puppy. She was accommodating for both energy levels of dogs and gave me daily updates with photos. I will definitely be rebooking with her again. Thanks again Scarlett!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Teddy and Rumi absolutely love Ms. Karen and her family! She is very flexible, reliable, and truly cares for them as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing they are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Karen provides updates and makes sure their needs are met, which means so much to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“Jamie and her family were phenomenal with my prince. Jamie updated every day and sent me pictures . Jamie made me feel so comfortable with leaving my little buddy. I have now found my doggie sitter for all my future travels that prince can’t go on. He loved being with Jamie he just wagged his tail when I dropped him off . In all pictures he was smiling ❤️ Thank you again Jamie I wish I could give a million stars ☺️☺️”
“Keri was absolutely wonderful!!!! We needed a much needed dog sitter for July 4th weekend. Everyone was either booked or not interested, or no response. After a couple of responses our family agreed on Keri because we believed there was something really special about her. She was also about 40-50 mins away from where we were staying. We didn't care because we felt it was worth it. We were traveling from out of state visiting family. We have an American bully and was so nervous because it was his first time with anyone else overnight. Communication was excellent. She always responded and had a welcoming spirit from day one inquiring. When we arrived we had a hard time leaving Drako because he was not feeling it. He actually snapped at Keri a couple of times and was very protective of the new surroundings. When I say Keri held it down she really did. She welcomed us and there was 7 of us, our 4 children, niece , my husband and myself into her home to help get Drako acquainted. It was too late to try any other option but she was more than willing to stick in there. We spent almost 2 hours getting Drako comfortable and we pulled every trick out the bag. Finally he was comfortable after running around the yard and being outside with one of their dogs. He welcomed her and her children in his space and played with the other dogs. He finally took treats from Keri and went near her without snapping. Once getting him settled we snuck out once he was well relaxed and when we thought he was calm and not going to run behind us out the door. With our surprise we received pics of Drako calm and getting rubs from her husband and family and they fell in love with him. He was in a safe and very clean environment with a loving family and Drako became one with them. I absolutely would recommend Keri to anyone who needs a dog-sitter. She’s the best. I will go out my way to bring Drako to Keri when we travel again. She was the absolute best. There’s not enough words of gratitude to Thank Keri and her family for all they did for our boy. Keri is and will always be our number 1!”
“As first-timers to Rover, we were very grateful for Cristy's responsiveness to our many newbie questions. She is incredibly friendly and it's clear how much she loves dogs. Sky and Stormi received excellent care, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates. Thank you Cristy!”
“From the first few minutes of meeting Alison and Richard, we knew they were loving, caring people who would take great care of our boy. Griffin had an absolute BLAST during his stay! I got updates and pictures every day and felt so at ease. He loves Wrigley and Sunny (the perfect play mates and leaders for him), and so do we! We will continue to ask Alison and Richard to watch Griffin for as long as they let us :) I highly recommend anyone use them if they are looking for a fun, caring, home environment for their dog- and stress free for owners- while they are away.”
“Kathleen was great. She was able to watch Lucy last minute. Lucy is older with some health problems and Kathleen was very reassuring and attentive. She was also very patient with Lucy as she adjusted the first couple of days. Thanks for the great stay!”
“Myra is amazing! She was reliable, caring and kept me update about my two dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed and on their normal routine. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with them again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking from someone dependable and compassionate to care for their pets.”
“Was very nice and attentive to my girl and was kind enough to humor me when I had a last minute change of plans it defiantly helps that he lives near by lol will defiantly think of him next time I need a sitter.”
“Our mini dachshund Honey stayed with Nancy for five days while we were traveling and loved it! Nancy and her husband both gave her tons of attention and shared lots of photos and videos of Honey having a great time. It’s clear that they are fantastic with dogs and I felt so relieved knowing Honey was in great hands while we were gone. I could tell that Honey was comfortable in their home when I picked her up and appreciate them both giving her tons of love and attention. Highly recommend a stay with Nancy!”

My home is a single-story, ranch-style home with no stairs, providing a comfortable and easily accessible environment for all ages. I currently only offer my services to small to medium-sized dogs to maintain a low-stress, comfortable environment. Because I have a dog at home, l am unable to host pets that are aggressive, or have history of aggression. I also encourage a quick meet-and-greet before boarding so your pup can get familiar with me, Peanut, and our home before their stay begins.
“Porter had a wonderful stay with Kellie! From the photos she sent throughout his visit, it was clear he was happy, well-cared for, and having a blast. He got plenty of outdoor time, playtime with a ball, and even made some furry friends. Kellie was communicative and consistent with updates, which made leaving him so much easier. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.”

“Natalie has been wonderful every time she has watched my babies. My cat is always waiting at the door for her so he has someone to play with. She takes plenty of pictures and is great at communicating. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Kristina was SUPER nice and sweet! She did amazing with our dog Ranger and sent us as many updates on him through the few days that he stayed with her. She was prompt and understood my need for reassurance as this was a first for me. Ranger had a GREAT time and made some new friends. When we got home he was pooped and ready for bed. We will definitely be coming back to her anytime we are in need of a sitter. Thank you soooo much Kristina for taking care of my baby!”

About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. In addition, my son, who is just as crazy about dogs as I am, lives with me so at night, there will be 2 sitters in the house. Therefore, you’ll get 2 sitters for the price of one🤗 I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
“I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.”

About: I’m Lawrence and I love dogs. Pet sitting is so rewarding! I also love that I have the freedom to work at home, while caring for animals. You’ll love that I’m able to spend the entire day with your dog so I can get to know their personality and individual needs.

When I’m not spending time with pups (or when I am), I enjoy relaxing with Gabby, developing video games and skateboarding.

“Thanks for last minute booking accommodations! Happier dog than if he was boarded for sure, lol. I know he's a handful, but just a big baby who wants attention. That’s why i love Rover.”
“Charles was great with my high energy girl. She had a great fenced in yard to wander and a convenient dog door as well. She got along great with his dog Pippa. Charles was also very accommodating and kind enough to pick her up and drop her off while I had my car in the shop. I would definitely use Charles as a sitter again!”
“This is a long overdue review. Lawrence is so reliable and always makes my pup feel right at home. Thanks to Lawrence she is more comfortable being socialized with other dogs.”
“Scarlett was great with my pups. I have one senior dog and one puppy. She was accommodating for both energy levels of dogs and gave me daily updates with photos. I will definitely be rebooking with her again. Thanks again Scarlett!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Jamie and her family were phenomenal with my prince. Jamie updated every day and sent me pictures . Jamie made me feel so comfortable with leaving my little buddy. I have now found my doggie sitter for all my future travels that prince can’t go on. He loved being with Jamie he just wagged his tail when I dropped him off . In all pictures he was smiling ❤️ Thank you again Jamie I wish I could give a million stars ☺️☺️”
“Keri was absolutely wonderful!!!! We needed a much needed dog sitter for July 4th weekend. Everyone was either booked or not interested, or no response. After a couple of responses our family agreed on Keri because we believed there was something really special about her. She was also about 40-50 mins away from where we were staying. We didn't care because we felt it was worth it. We were traveling from out of state visiting family. We have an American bully and was so nervous because it was his first time with anyone else overnight. Communication was excellent. She always responded and had a welcoming spirit from day one inquiring. When we arrived we had a hard time leaving Drako because he was not feeling it. He actually snapped at Keri a couple of times and was very protective of the new surroundings. When I say Keri held it down she really did. She welcomed us and there was 7 of us, our 4 children, niece , my husband and myself into her home to help get Drako acquainted. It was too late to try any other option but she was more than willing to stick in there. We spent almost 2 hours getting Drako comfortable and we pulled every trick out the bag. Finally he was comfortable after running around the yard and being outside with one of their dogs. He welcomed her and her children in his space and played with the other dogs. He finally took treats from Keri and went near her without snapping. Once getting him settled we snuck out once he was well relaxed and when we thought he was calm and not going to run behind us out the door. With our surprise we received pics of Drako calm and getting rubs from her husband and family and they fell in love with him. He was in a safe and very clean environment with a loving family and Drako became one with them. I absolutely would recommend Keri to anyone who needs a dog-sitter. She’s the best. I will go out my way to bring Drako to Keri when we travel again. She was the absolute best. There’s not enough words of gratitude to Thank Keri and her family for all they did for our boy. Keri is and will always be our number 1!”
“As first-timers to Rover, we were very grateful for Cristy's responsiveness to our many newbie questions. She is incredibly friendly and it's clear how much she loves dogs. Sky and Stormi received excellent care, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates. Thank you Cristy!”
“From the first few minutes of meeting Alison and Richard, we knew they were loving, caring people who would take great care of our boy. Griffin had an absolute BLAST during his stay! I got updates and pictures every day and felt so at ease. He loves Wrigley and Sunny (the perfect play mates and leaders for him), and so do we! We will continue to ask Alison and Richard to watch Griffin for as long as they let us :) I highly recommend anyone use them if they are looking for a fun, caring, home environment for their dog- and stress free for owners- while they are away.”
“Was very nice and attentive to my girl and was kind enough to humor me when I had a last minute change of plans it defiantly helps that he lives near by lol will defiantly think of him next time I need a sitter.”
“Porter had a wonderful stay with Kellie! From the photos she sent throughout his visit, it was clear he was happy, well-cared for, and having a blast. He got plenty of outdoor time, playtime with a ball, and even made some furry friends. Kellie was communicative and consistent with updates, which made leaving him so much easier. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“Claudia makes my puppy feel right at home. He enjoys playing in her fenced backyard with her dog Tango, and she's very good about sharing photos and updates on his stay. It's like a home away from home for him. I feel fortunate to have found a good dog sitter like Claudia.”
“Megan is just the best! So easy to work with, flexible to my schedule changes, and I love watching Juliette get excited when we are about a block away from pulling up Megan's house. I can't recommend her enough!!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻”
“Caitlin is just terrific! I can’t say enough good things about her. She takes great care of my dog and goes out of her way to help me time and time again. My dog just adores her.”
“Arya is a very attentive, experienced, and caring dog sitter. She took amazing care of my dog, sharing updates throughout the stay and going on lots of walks. My dog can be a bit anxious during stays and Arya quickly made her feel welcome and comfortable in her home. Would very much recommend to anyone looking for pet care.”
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I also have an older blind toy poodle who doesn’t play with other animals but is perfectly content staying on my sofa & listening to whatever is going on in the house. Therefore, I’m quite accustomed to care for special needs dogs. All dogs seem to communicate very well with me. I also keep the owners up to date daily with pictures and/or videos as to how much fun their dogs are having. In addition, my son, who is just as crazy about dogs as I am, lives with me so at night, there will be 2 sitters in the house. Therefore, you’ll get 2 sitters for the price of one🤗 I am a retired stay at home widow who loves spending time with dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. Typically, we use some of the afternoon for calming & resting time if/when needed. This is also the time for specific needs & brushing. The doggies can go outside anytime they want to play or do their business. I have a large fenced in back yard specifically for the care & safety of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home. This is a very safe place for the fur babies to spend supervised time in the shade or sun with a large covered veranda with fresh water available at all times. I live on many acres of farm land with very few neighbors. We have no children living near us at all.
