“My experience with John and Rover was wonderful. I received updates daily that includes pictures. John was very accommodating. Not only did we have a happy vacation but our dog did also! Definitely recommend”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“Kimberly did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy. I was kinda scared leaving him with a stranger, but immediately she made that fear go away. She assured me every step of the way that my puppy was doing ok. She sent me pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again if needed. Thank you Kimberly and Hunter for making Rougey’s visit so enjoyable. You guys are AWESOME”
“Lorraine is the best. My Coco adores her family. I can tell how excited she is when we arrive at their home. We feel blessed to have them. Our Coco means the world to us ❤️”
“We have used Maria several times for our dog Pepper and every time Pepper has a great time. Staying at Maria’s is like a puppy vacation resort. My wife and I can’t recommend Maria enough.”
“Christie is absolutely amazing! She’s very sweet and accommodating. Grateful for her and for being such a great help with my dog. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Shannon was fantastic! She provided many pictures during our trip. I could tell that my two pups felt right at home. Easy communication and she had all our dogs’ things ready to go when we arrived, which was so nice since our flight was delayed coming home and we were very tired. I will definitely be using Shannon again in the future.”
“Christianna was so great to my babies. Took them at the last minute and handled unsure/fearful cat with love and care. Will 100% use her services again if I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again Christianna!”
“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”
“First time using Rover and I’m glad I was linked up with Sherry. She is very quick to response to questions and concerns. My puppy’s stay was very pleasant and I received daily pictures from her. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended!!!!!”
“I was very happy with Kathleen's service. I wanted input from my furbaby, Spike, about his stay, but he isn't very conversational! LOL But the picture Kathleen sent me of with him stretched out on her sofa, told me he was just fine. I'm look forward to working with her again in the future. Thanks, Kathleen!”
“Cassy & Tradd are a great family and took very good care of our two fur babies. They kept us well informed during their stay. We feel very comfortable leaving them for our next vacation.”
“Courtney was great! Super laid back and clearly loves dogs. Our dog is blind. So he is really scared around other animals. Amazingly, Courtney had Bentley hanging out with all 3 of her dogs. We so appreciated your kind, fun, and great care of Bentley. If I'm being honest, I think Bentley would rather live at Courtney's house. He's been depressed ever since his stay ended :)”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
About: With 8 years of pet care experience, I have developed a strong passion for providing safe, loving, and dependable care for animals. Throughout my experience, I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages, including puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. My background includes daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining clean living spaces, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud pet parent to two fur babies, a French Bulldog and a Dachshund, who are truly my world. Caring for my own dogs has deepened my understanding of the attention, patience, and love that pets deserve every day. They are both very friendly with other pets and have helped me become even more comfortable creating positive and welcoming interactions among animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a calm, attentive, and positive environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I am committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while maintaining clear communication and reliability for pet parents. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving exceptional care, attention, and affection. I make it a priority to keep my availability updated frequently so pet parents always have accurate scheduling information. At this time, my weekends are fully open and available for bookings. I understand how important flexibility and reliability are when arranging care for your pets, and I do my best to accommodate scheduling needs whenever possible. Feel free to reach out with dates or special requests! I’m happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works for you and your fur baby. Creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care is my top priority. I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone else requires confidence and peace of mind, which is why I focus on clear communication, consistency, and attentive care from start to finish. My home and care approach are centered around providing a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, preferences, energy levels, and any special instructions to make their experience feel as close to home as possible. As a pet parent myself to a French Bulldog and Dachshund, I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, supervision, affection, and respect. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way.
“Lily had another wonderful stay with Amanda! I'm pretty sure she thinks of it as her home away from home. : ) From the pics I can see Lily makes herself right at home there and looks so happy and comfy. We are so grateful for Amanda and all the attention she gives Lily to make her feel so welcomed in her home.”

“Renee went above and beyond for my kitties on our 11 day vacation! Her daily reports were very detailed and she took the best pics of them so I could see them every day 🥰She even helped out with some outdoor decorations which were getting battered by the nor’easter!! Her communication and willingness to help was so awesome while we were out of the country- I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking to hire from Rover 🥰”
“Amy has been amazing. Our pups adore her and are well taken care of when she sits them. Her check ins are thorough and really put us at ease when we are away on trips. We so glad we found her!”
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our cat, Chloe while we were out of town. She sent us pictures after each visit which we really appreciated! Our cat usually runs and hides when visitors come in the door, however she greeted Taylor each time. She even let Taylor pet her. I highly recommend Taylor to look after your pet!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I focus on creating a stress-free experience while you’re away. During each visit, I ensure your cat is fed on schedule, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the right balance of attention—whether that’s playtime, affection, or simply quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Cleanliness, reliability, and clear communication are my top priorities. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your cat comfortable ➡️ Keep your home clean ➡️ Give you total peace of mind while you’re away
“This was my first time using Rover and it can be worrisome meeting a stranger and relying on them for home access and pet care. Melissa made it easy. She was so authentic and sweet, plus very responsive! Highly recommend.”
“Vanessa has a warm and loving personality that puts pets and their owners at ease. She sends pictures and keeps the owner aware of how the drop-in visits are going. My dog Millie and I highly recommend her. We are looking forward to having her housesit in the near future.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I’ve grown up around animals and regularly care for pets for family and family friends, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including helping younger pets learn routines and giving extra patience and gentle care to older pets. I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“A HUGE weight was lifted while we were gone this holiday season using Jessica’s services to watch our two cats. She is kind, caring, and prompt. She went out of her way to come and meet our boys and better understand our needs. She exceeded our expectations and even took the time to play and give attention. You won’t be disappointed and there’s a reason for all these 5-star reviews - she’ll treat your babies like her very own and then some. Thank you again, Jessica!”
About: With several years of cat sitting experience I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family by providing check-ins, feeding, and playtime. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable in their own environment with their own routine, and I’ll treat your Cat/cats with the same care and patience I’d give my own.
About: I have always loved and been surrounded by dogs growing up. I'm looking for some fur babies to spoil. I would love to take them for walks or just leisurely relax on porch if they prefer. Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets. They also will enjoy being able to roam free while I'm here. However, on a few occasions I may leave for 3-4 hrs for a client meeting. Presently only taking non-aggressive pets. I'm happy to pickup or drop off your pup if needed. Only willing to do house sitting in a non-smoking home and fully Air conditioned/heated. My schedule is accommodating so I'm open to last minute bookings and can guarantee quality time with your pet. Please feel free to text or call. Look forward to meeting and getting to know your pup. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for sitting most weekdays and weekends just let me know what days you need. I will be happy to take your dog for a walk on a leash during the day or let them run around in a fenced yard if you have one. I can easily crate them if you need me to.

“My husband and I recently moved to the Elizabeth City area and we don't know anyone here. Last minute my husband was able to attend an event with me a few hours away. I quickly scrambled to find someone to sit our furbabies. I messaged Christianna and she quickly got back to me saying she could watch them. Since I'm a very nervous dog mom and we've had bad experiences hiring a dog sitter online (we used a different website at that time), she agreed to come meet us the night before and the dogs. We dropped the dogs off Saturday morning and she was instantly great with them. They walked right into her house with no fear. Throughout the day she sent updates and photos (that definitely put my mind at ease and I was able to focus on the event I was attending). She was great with them all day and they came home super tired and ready for bed! :) We will definitely book with Christianna again.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Kathleen is so great, she kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent videos of Lola! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again!”
About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
“Rachael and her family were life savers for a last-minute booking! Our dog has little “quirks” that make him not the easiest dog of the bunch but they were so patient and understanding! We could tell Reddy was very comfortable. They’re super friendly to chat with as well! Hope to see them again!”

“I'm basing this review on my limited experience with hiring dog walkers. This is my first time using this app or any dog walker services for that matter. I was amazed how easy it was to sign up and find a qualified dog walker under such short notice. I was worried my dog's stature and puppy manners would be intimidating, but was worried for nothing. The walker, Renee, handled him really well and passed in flying colors. Will use this service and walker again in the future if the need arises again.”

About: Hi 🐾 My name is Juliana, and I’m a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with a strong background in animal care. I graduated from NC State with a degree in Animal Science, where I built a solid foundation in animal health, behavior, and welfare. I also spent two years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting. During that time, I assisted with handling all different kinds of breeds, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable, especially in stressful situations. This taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly, and provide attentive, compassionate care to each unique animals needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. You can feel confident knowing your pet will receive safe, loving, and personalized care while you’re away, along with plenty of updates and peace of mind for you as I would want for my own pet! Right now, I’m in a transition period before shipping out for the Air Force, and I’d love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, trust, and environment of every pet that I care for, whether they are in my own home or in the client's home. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I take the time to thoroughly assess the environment and identify any potential hazards or risks. I make sure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable space to rest. Overall, my approach to caring for pets is centered on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness.
About: I love animals of all breeds, temperaments, and age. I promise to greet and treat your animals as if they were my own. Being a pet owner myself I realize how difficult it is to leave your family members home. I will do my best to make this experience as easy for you as possible. I will send updates and pictures with every visit. I service the local area (Camden, Shiloh, Elizabeth City, Currituck) with pet sitting needs and pop in visits. I work in Elizabeth City M-F from 5-1. For this reason I would recommend only sending a request if your animal is also used to being on a working schedule (left 8+ hours). I will supply visits before and after my working hours. We can discuss specifics based on your location. I will follow your rules as if you were home. I will treat your animals with as much love and affection as I would my own. If you use certain commands, I will too. If your dog isnt allowed on the furniture, I will uphold your boundaries to the best of my ability. If your dog licks your face and lays with you on the couch, I'm cool with all the snuggles.

About: I raised puppies before having children. It was rewarding and fun. I am a good natured person as and believe dogs will be good for me. I always do the best I can to be loving and gentle. I'm helping to care for a 10-year-old grandson. I am able to fit this into my schedule very easily. I have my own transportation so that won't be a problem either I will do my best to walk the dog safely and to make sure they have food and water. I will also make sure that they feel loved
About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I have plenty of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as volunteering at the local SPCA. Feeding, bathing, grooming, walking, playing, etc. I have one dog of my own, and had one prior who was handicapped and paralyzed, so I have decent experience. I am good to work with any breed or size of dog. I am pretty decently flexible, as I work mornings from 5:30-10, and then anytime after I am 100% free 7 days a week! Feeding, bathing, grooming, walking, playing, simply spending time with, etc. in client’s home for in-home visits. Depending on the task, I can do almost anything needed.
About: I've been an animal lover all of my life. I had cats for most of my childhood and early adulthood. They were my best buddies who cuddled and slept with me, as well as posed for drawings and paintings. About 18 years ago I adopted a pit mix, named Humble. He was the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He accompanied me on camping and hiking trips in Maine. He passed away a few years ago. Now I'm the lucky mom of a rescue dog named Chance. He is an 8 year old undetermined breed. He may be a Doxie mixed with Papillion. I rescued him from the streets of China. I was working as an ESL teacher in Shenzhen,China at the time. He is one of my best friends and I spoil him with lots of love, treats and walks. I am a certified yoga teacher, artist and pet care provider. I started out pet sitting as a side business to earn some extra money, but it has become so much more than that. It is such a rewarding job and a great honor to care for so many beautiful animals! I will take great care of your fur babies and your home. You can have peace of mind with me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am usually available most week days and weekends ( except the ones marked off my calendar), for house sitting and drop in visits. I can walk your dogs and keep the house and yard picked up during my stays. I will spoil your pets with lots of love and attention Safety is always my first priority. I never leave pets unattended outside, make sure harnesses and collars are secure during walks, and never feed them anything but their food. I will give them your treats if you give me permission. I also make sure the floors and rugs if the home are kept clean and that their is nothing dangerous around that they could eat .. I am Extra careful!
About: Since I was 10, I've always loved watching and caring for dogs and other animals. I started by helping neighbors with their pets—feeding them, taking them for walks, and making sure they felt safe and happy while their owners were away. Over the years, I've learned to understand animals' moods and needs, whether they're playful, shy, or anxious. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm environment for pets. Because of this, I would be a great sitter—I know how to keep animals comfortable and cared for, making sure they get the attention and love they deserve when their owners can't be there. No matter the animal i’ll be there for them! I worked at a pet store for over a year which taught me a lot about any sort of animals and their health. Since I already have a puppy with my own schedule, i’m totally used to juggling pet care! I know how to fit feeding, walks, playtime, and rest into my day, so adding care for another pet would just be a bit of extra love and attention. My experience with my own pup means i’m great at keeping routines steady and making sure every animal feels cared for. It fits naturally into my schedule because im already a pro at managing a furry friend’s needs! Besides my pup, I balance that’s with a box turtle, two hedgehogs, three leopard geckos, two cats, and at my parents house I take care of their two dogs, and two fresh water fish tanks. I can take care of animals in lots of ways depending on what they need. Whether it’s walking them to make sure they get exercise and fresh air, house sitting so they have company and someone to watch over them, or just stopping by to check on them to feed, play, and give them attention, I’m ready to help. I understand how important it is to keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

Thank you Kimberly and Hunter for making Rougey’s visit so enjoyable. You guys are AWESOME”

Easy communication and she had all our dogs’ things ready to go when we arrived, which was so nice since our flight was delayed coming home and we were very tired. I will definitely be using Shannon again in the future.”

“Courtney was great! Super laid back and clearly loves dogs. Our dog is blind. So he is really scared around other animals. Amazingly, Courtney had Bentley hanging out with all 3 of her dogs. We so appreciated your kind, fun, and great care of Bentley. If I'm being honest, I think Bentley would rather live at Courtney's house. He's been depressed ever since his stay ended :)”

We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”

She provided frequent updates with pictures and videos, and was quick to respond, which we much appreciated. She made sure to ask questions and genuinely showed care, which in turn immediately gave us peace of mind. She even gave us little goodies as appreciation when we picked up our girl! Truly a genuinely wonderful, thoughtful person. Rest assured that your furry friends will be in the best of hands with her and her husband! Thank you again for your wonderful care!”
