“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“We had an amazing experience! Our dog, Rocco, was so well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Rocco was happy, comfortable, and treated like family. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and attention he received. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring. Thank you for taking such great care of Rocco! 🫶”
“I cannot recommend Marissa & Mosieo enough! Leaving my Yorkie for over five days while traveling out of the country was nerve wracking, but they made the entire experience worry-free. They provided regular updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in excellent hands. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the whole time. I will absolutely be using them again for all my future travel. They are my go to sitters from now on!”
“This was my first Rover experience and I could not have been happier! Allison was great to work with and sent regular updates. Finn was well cared for and you could tell he felt at ease there...I don't think he was ready to come home!”
“Carlita was a great sitter for my dog, she provided detailed updates via video and photos while my dog was in her care for 12+ days. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in capable and caring hands. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Hanna! He enjoyed playing with her two dogs, and judging by the pictures we received, he loved getting attention from Hanna's little girls! He came home happy and tired from a great weekend!”
“Five stars- we would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking to board their dog or puppy! Sally was aware of integrating our pup into her home by first coming outside for her and her dog, Molly, to meet our pup. Sally went above and beyond to make us comfortable by sending frequent updates and photos, and she is experienced with boarding young puppies. We will definitely board our pup with Sally in the future!”
“Mitzi was great! Our dog had so much fun at her house. It was so nice to get little updates and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have had the opportunity to work with all types of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, and dogs with a wide range of personalities and individual needs. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s unique routine and temperament. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while ensuring that every dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Over the years, customers have greatly enjoyed my services and appreciated my friendly, caring, and likable personality. I have built positive relationships with both dogs and their owners, earning trust through reliable care and genuine compassion for animals. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I work full time but dont work a typical 9-5 so Im very flexible and able to work around most schedules. And rarely take vacations so weekends are typically open. I have a great dane who wants to be freinds with anything with 4 legs and definitely two legs. Hes not territorial or aggressive. So keeping your pet here would be a fun time for everyone. Back yard is not fenced so your dog would always be on a leash. But we would go for walks pending your approval as I live in a perfect neighborhood for walking.
“Ed and Lucy are the only sitters we will ever use! They always provide the best care and attention to our babies. They are truly amazing people! So happy we found them! Highly recommend!”
“Took such good care of my little Sadie! She is 12 and this was the first time she didn’t stay with family for more than a day. Michelle gave great updates and Sadie loved her!”
“Kayla was very accommodating to my dog, Olive. Olive was feeling anxious, and most likely depressed that she was away from home. Kayla worked with Olive to make her feel at home and relaxed.”
“My little one had so much fun staying with Courtney! I did not have to worry at all about her care or safety while I had to be away. Courtney sent daily updates with pictures. I will definitely use Courtney again!”
“Jerry was great with the pick up and drop off of my dog he also made sure his dogs and mine got along before the rover start date began. Photos and videos were sent to me from time to time. I would definitely recommend Jerry again .”
“We were extremely happy with the care Julia gave our very timid pup. Julia was very willing to set up a puppy playpen for our little guy. She was very patient with him and eventually he came out of his safe space playpen. Julia sent pictures and text updates every day. By the end of his stay our pup seemed comfortable in her home and would go outside with her. Julia's patience with our timid pup was above and beyond. Her updates a picture helped to reduce our concerns of leaving our pup behind. We found him happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely look to request Julia again.”
“Matt and his family really took care of my German Shepherd Dog, Skye. He knows the characteristics and nature of GSD and he dealt with bigger dogs before so we put trust in him. We made a right choice!! He updated every day about the summary of the day with pictures. He and his family included my dog as their family and I could tell that she was in good hands!! They made my dog feel comfortable and made her feel at home. We will most definitely choose him as our dog sitter. I think Skye will like that too!!!”

“Kristine is a not only a reliable sitter! My cats LOVE seeing her. She cuddles and plays with my babies. She always leaves their areas clean and tidy. She is prompt in communicating and lets me know if she is going to be a few minutes late (only happened one time in two years, otherwise 100 percent on time!). Travel delays? No problem. I was stuck in Mexico for an extra day. She texted me back in 30 seconds letting me know she'd be there as long as I needed. What a relief!”
“First time using a pet sitter and am extremely happy with Larry. Even though our boys didn’t come out, Larry was diligent and thoughtful. I will definitely be a repeat customer, hopefully next time the boys will be more social.”
“We had such a great experience with Kymberlee! She cared for our 2 cats while we were away for 9 days, and the daily report cards with lots of pictures gave us complete peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with the cats so they were very happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We’d absolutely book with Kymberlee again, and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring pet sitter!”
“Abbey was great! She really took care of my Sasha kitty when she came over! Did all the water refresh, new food, cleaned litter boxes and spent time with photos of my fur baby! I would HIGHLY recommend Abbey to visit and care for your pet. (:”
“Amanda is fantastic with our cats and very meticulous about communicating with us. She played with them and gave us regular reports as well! I would highly recommend her.”
“Mackenzie was amazing! She gave our pups some extra love and truly treated them like they were her own. She is very kind and makes an effort to go above and beyond! We were very grateful for her to watch our doggos. Will definitely book her again!!!”
About: I am a massive cat lover; honestly, I absolutely adore them and will happily jump at any chance to care for your kitty! Having my own cat at home, I know exactly how unique, independent, and sensitive feline personalities can be. For the past five years, I’ve been trusted by friends and neighbors to care for their pets, making sure they stay comfortable and safe in their normal routines. Volunteering at the Wake County Animal Center as a cat cuddler gave me incredible experience working with all kinds of temperaments, from super playful and high-energy kittens to shy or sweet seniors who just need a patient, gentle friend. Combined with my professional background in childcare, you can count on me to be extremely reliable, attentive to detail, and safety-focused. Whether your cat wants intense playtime, meticulous litter box care, or just someone to sit quietly and cuddle with them, I can’t wait to meet everyone furry friends!
“Lily was wonderful. Very responsive and communication was great! Went above & beyond what we asked to ensure our fur babies were taken care of! Daily pics were a bonus ☺️ would highly recommend!”
About: I haven’t looked after cats formally, but I’ve volunteered for cat care at an animal shelter several times, have been around many cats, and have had them around while watching a friend’s dogs. I am well versed in cat’s body language, and fully adaptable to your cat’s unique personality!

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have years of experience taking care of other peoples’ dogs as well as my own, who is almost ten! I have a big fenced in yard with lots of shade that would be great for your pup! I work early mornings into the early afternoons (usually around 1-2). So after my work day, I’m home mostly relaxing or working in the yard and engage in lots of hobbies around the house. I will be around to tend to any needs your dog may have :) I live with my partner and our dog, Mulder, who is 9 years old. We have a fenced in yard with lots of shade that our dog loves and would love to share with your dog , too! We can also host indoors so the pups can cool off and relax.
“Mazikeen had such a great time with Hannah! She was so tired at the end of the day. We signed up for doggie day care. I definitely plan on using her services again in the future.”
“I couldn’t be any happier with how Kaya’s day went today in the care of Marissa and her two adorable puppies! She was extremely communicative and her home and fenced yard were perfect. 100% recommend her! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Julia took great care of Bowser and cleaned up after his puppy accidents (we are still working on going outside). We already have her booked for some upcoming drop-in visits!”
About: I have taken care of dogs by providing potty breaks, walks, playtime, and love! I enjoy being active and take lots of walks myself and I am looking for a walking buddy! I am looking to make this my part time job. This means I am very flexible and willing to work around the needs of my new animals friends and their families! I am a neat and clean person. I will treat your home with respect and ensure that it is left better than I found it.
About: I’m a parent of a ragdoll. Equip of taking medicine, nail clipping, paw trimming and cat washing. I also have a pet dryer set up for her.0 I’m currently working from home full time so I’m very flexible with schedules. I’m very easy going so just communicate and there’s nothing we can’t figure out. I have all wooded floor in the first floor solely for stay over dogs to keep them comfort and stay away from cats if needed, same situation for cats if needed.
About: Hi there! My name is Kayla, and I’ve been a loving pet parent for over five years to my sweet Yorkipoo, Belle. She’s a 13-pound bundle of joy; she’s very shy, but also very sweet! Caring for Belle has given me firsthand experience with everything from daily walks and enrichment activities to specialized feeding schedules, administering medicine, and providing a calm, safe environment. For your peace of mind, I’m located just 2 minutes from both Banfield Pet Hospital and Knightdale Animal Hospital, so prompt care is always within reach if ever needed. I treat every pet like family and can’t wait to care for yours! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! I work 100% from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide around-the-clock attention and care for pups throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I’m always nearby and available to keep your pet happy and comfortable. I’m also available for boarding and doggy day care needs on weekdays and weekends, so whether you’re heading out for the day or taking a longer trip, your pet will be in loving hands. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment community with clean walking paths, plenty of green space, and a secure off-leash dog park perfect for playtime. Inside, my home is a calm, cozy, and safe space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I take extra care to create a peaceful environment that’s free from hazards and full of love. Whether your pet needs exercise, snuggles, or structured routines, I’m ready to provide the same level of love and attention I give Belle every day.
About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
About: I have always had dogs and cats ever since i was a little kid. I know how to take care of all pets, feed them, bathe them, and walk them. Dogs and cats became part of who i am. Im currently working part time and live alone with my sister. I have alot of free time and would like to make this a side hustle. I will look after dogs or cats very carefully. I will be feeding them on time and taking them for a walk as needed. I live in a three bedroom townhome which makes it safe for dogs or cats to roam around the house freely. And i have a porch that is fenced which makes it safe for pets who like to chill outside.
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
About: I have over 900 5 Star reviews on the Wag! app for dog walking, boarding and overnight sitting. Joined a local company that I currently work for and have several private clients that prefer to work with me directly. I have pet care insurance independently from the platforms I've used. I leave every home I visit better than I found it. Checking mail, taking out trash, all manner of special touches. I am handy and have changed light bulbs and air conditioning filters at overnights where i felt the client needed help with those things. Dogs naturally love me. I've had clients joke about their dog liking me more than them. I go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and happy while in my care. I can leash train or correct "bad" behavior with positivity and patience. I am working on CPR certification and constantly expand my knowledge of breeds and training techniques. I care for pets full-time. Ready to do walks, dropins and overnight sittings. I am pretty full as far as midday walks go, but can adjust in certain cases I currently don't do day care at my home. I do have my own dog that often accompanies me for my visits and pet sitting.
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals for the past 19 years. I have most experience with small breed dogs. I’ve worked for a similar service and kept dogs, cats and bunnies in my home before. Each animal that I care for is like my own pet. We keep them secure in a fenced yard for dogs. We have space inside and have set up a rabbit fencing area with cage. Your pets will be safe and happy while they board with us! I am currently a home school mom with 3 children ages 5-10. My oldest child helps care for pets as well as playing, feeding and walking pets. We can care for pets any day of the week. We have a female puppy who is active and ready to play with your furbaby. We can also crate and provide a quiet space for your fur kid as well. You do not need to provide a crate unless you have multiple pets and want them to be separated. Visiting clients houses will include a lot of love and care with treats (if allowed in their diet). My 10 year old daughter loves to help walk dogs and play with animals of all kinds.
“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”
“I was so thankful Arden could make time for my last minute request. She was so communicative and tried hard to give river his walks but he wasn’t having it that day. She didn’t give up easily on him and tried again later, she was very kind about everything and I would try using her again when River is in better spirits.”
About: Grew up with parents who were groomers and breeders. I went to school to major as a veterinarian due to my love animals, and even though life, I find myself forever engulfed by the love of these furry creatures. Dogs to wolves, house cats to bobcats, ferret buddies, birds, hamsters and more. There’s care for them all. I manage well🙂. I have plenty of days where I find myself very free and available. A little companionship never heard us. Sometimes I need to take a walk and there’s a room for company. I’m a little sit down with friends never hurt. As the fur parent sees fit. They would be fed, potty breaks/outside time 2-4 times a day, and given a social atmosphere of people and or play friends. Unless otherwise directed. Light grooming and bathing can also be discussed.
“We left Zeus with Jessica for a few hours one morning while we were in town and couldn't take him with us for an event. She was very responsive with communication, flexible with timing, and welcoming to Zeus. Her own dog was very sweet and friendly. We really appreciated all that she did to make our event less stressful and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”

“Dana took wonderful care of our senior dog. We had an emergency and very short notice, and were thrilled that she could help by walking him for a week. She communicated with us promptly and clearly, and was very responsive. We will definitely contact her the next time we need help.”
“Luke was a fantastic dog walker. I had to hire him last minute because of an emergency and he was so flexible with all of the difficulties I threw his way. My dog had a great time with him and I loved all the pictures I got! I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker that truly puts your dog’s happiness first.”
“I was fortunate enough to live walking distance from Shana and my new 5 month old rescue pup and I walked down to say hi. She is a genuinely nice person and truly enjoys loving and caring for dogs. I feel ccomfortable having her in my home and to care for my dog mid day when I can’t get home to take him out. Rover is a pretty amazing system as well!! Thanks Shana!!”
“Laura is so amazing with our dog Riley (and Riley can be a handful)! I love all her updates and pictures, it always makes my day to see her and know she’s having a great time!”
“Thank you so much for all you did! ❤️ I'm glad he was a good boy. Feel free to help work with him on no jumping. He does know sit and stay for when you leave too! I hope he didn't scratch you up or make bruises, he didn't mean to if he did.”
About: I’m a pediatric ICU nurse who brings the same compassion and reliability to pet care. I have baseline experience taking care of my own cats as well as my friends' dogs. I can easily follow specific feeding instructions to keep your pets' diet consistent and potty-walks are a breeze! Due to my own cats medication routine and my nursing career, I know how important medication timing is, if you pet needs any routine medications while I care for them you can be rest assured that it will get done, and get done right! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby with someone else. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I have a flexible nightshift schedule that allows me to have more opportunities to take care of your furbaby. Being a nurse, I only work a few nights a week and can be available in and out of typical working hours to provide your pet care and attention! I will be available almost any day of the week for single or multiple daily check-ins, potty walks, zoomie-releasing play sessions in gated areas or carefully in your home, scheduled feedings and more! I live on the cusp of Knightdale, so commuting to the Triangle is not a problem, even for checking in every few hours. In their home, your pet probably feels most comfortable! I can provide them lots of fun and safe interactions while you are away, making sure they don't feel lonely as they wait for you to come back home! I'll always be sure to stay in the same room with them, you never know what kind of mischief they can get into if left to their own devices unsupervised! Breaking into the treat drawer won't fly under my radar! If your pet needs to stay at my apartment for any reason, I am on the first floor, so no stairs needed if that is a struggle for your pet. I do own two shy but friendly cats, but my apartment has enough space that they can be put in a separate room for a portion of the day while your kiddo and I hang out! We will probably just sit together on my couch while I read or watch TV together, nothing too loud that would cause any stress.

About: As a registered nurse, providing compassionate, attentive care comes naturally to me. I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and understand the importance of following routines and paying close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I'll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your pet like they're part of my own family. I'm comfortable administering oral medications if needed and am happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. While I'm continuing to grow my experience with Rover, I'm committed to earning your trust by providing reliable, loving care and giving your pet the same attention and respect I'd want someone to give my dog. I’m currently on a summer break. I’m able to care for your pet 7 days a week. I will adhere to your pets schedule and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special requests. In your home, I'll respect your space just as I would my own while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for pets in my home, they'll be welcomed into a clean, safe, and calm environment where they'll receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and opportunities to rest. I'll stick to their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel at home and comfortable throughout their stay. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own.
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.
About: Since I was a kid, I have walked, groomed, dogsat/catsat and lived with dogs/cats! From those as small as chihuahuas to as large as English mastiffs, I have known all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked with pets that need special care or diets as well, so I know what it’s like to have your pet on a schedule. Senior pets are also known to me, so I also know my way around medicinal doses. I am currently going to school (mostly online), so my hours are pretty flexible. Usually, I am available at least 5 days a week, if not more! I currently do not offer 24/7 care, meaning there are some hours of the day that I likely cannot be sitting. If your pet has separation anxiety or needs constant care, I may not be able to provide that, as I do prefer to have at least a few hours to myself outside of pet sitting. I currently have two dogs (Blue Heeler and Great Pyrenees) and two cats (English shorthair and longhair) on more than 400 acres of land! I live on a farm, so my pets live mostly outdoors, but we end up bringing them inside at night and during storms. I also live with horses (three), chickens, turkeys, and more. My pets are my priority, and with having so many, I know what a packed schedule is like! For past client’s, I have walked, fed, and played with pets daily.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of friends and family for as long as I can remember, from taking them out during the day to staying with them overnight when the family was out of town. I love meeting and hanging out with new animals! I currently do not have a job and am looking for part time or full time positions so as of right now, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I love playing with dogs, inside or outside depending on your preferences and weather. I can also crate your dog if needed before leaving the home.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I treat them like family and have always been the go to for friends and family to pet sit and walk! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I figured we already go on daily walks, why not meet some pup friends! 🐾 I have the utmost respect for pups and their families. I know how much I care for my doggo and would treat yours the same 🤗
About: My name is Lauren. I’ve had a dog my whole life, so I’m basically a pro at caring/walking dogs! I have also taken care of many cats as well! Currently I have a 4 year old yellow lab named Fenway and a 2 year old black lab named Boston. I will be available for check ins and walks with your dog. I am a teacher, so my availability is early mornings and week nights, or any time on the weekends. Can’t wait to hear from you! I will be mostly available on week day early evenings/ nights and any time on the weekends. I can be flexible, feel free to reach out! I would love to come to your home and take care of your dog.

About: Hey! My name is Lexi and I am a huge animal lover! I just moved back to North Carolina from Pennsylvania, but I worked with dogs at a grooming salon for 3 years. I have one dog of my own and 3 cats. I promise to care for your babies the same way that I do mine! My friends and family always call me to care for their pets, knowing that I will take the best care of them! I work full time but I have a really flexible schedule so I’m typically available for taking care of your loved pets! Typically available for after work with night time or dinner visits! When caring for pets, whether in my home or in yours, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I have 1 dog and 3 cats that are all super friendly! I definitely understand patience and confidence when working with any type of pet! My top priority is always health, safety, and the happiness of your pet. I make sure that my care meets their needs, routines, and personalities. When caring for pets in their own environment, I make sure to maintain their regular schedule to help reduce any stress. I can provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can stay connected while you’re away. Whether it’s giving medications, following a special feeding plan, or giving your dog their daily belly rub, I try to follow their routine as closely as possible.
About: Hello! My name is Kathleen and I am 23 years old and I do rover full time! I have been in the pet care industry for about 9 years now and would love to have the chance to help you and your fur babies! I currently offer boarding, walking, and daycare. I am pretty much always available so last minute bookings are not an issue at all. I have experience with all breed sizes and ages. My partner is a dog trainer as well so we are used to all types of temperaments and can accommodate dogs for any special treatment they may need (Ex. Not friendly with cats or other dogs). I hope I can help, I love doing this as my job! Since I do rover full time the animals I watch live just like mine! They go out when mine do and have access to the backyard whenever they would like to go out. I usually keep the back door open all day for sunbathing or potty time. I usually have trouble getting dogs in because they love it outside so much! I will follow all instructions given by the owner and treat them like they are my own babies. In my home depending on their temperament they are allowed to roam free and have access to everything my dogs do.

“Charlie had an amazing time and felt right at home at Luke’s house. His huge backyard offered the perfect space for him to run around and play in. It was also a plus Luke’s dog was there to play around and wrestle with. Luke is great and very tentative to whatever your dog’s needs are no matter how big or small. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Hanna! He enjoyed playing with her two dogs, and judging by the pictures we received, he loved getting attention from Hanna's little girls! He came home happy and tired from a great weekend!”
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have had the opportunity to work with all types of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, and dogs with a wide range of personalities and individual needs. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s unique routine and temperament. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while ensuring that every dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Over the years, customers have greatly enjoyed my services and appreciated my friendly, caring, and likable personality. I have built positive relationships with both dogs and their owners, earning trust through reliable care and genuine compassion for animals. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I work full time but dont work a typical 9-5 so Im very flexible and able to work around most schedules. And rarely take vacations so weekends are typically open. I have a great dane who wants to be freinds with anything with 4 legs and definitely two legs. Hes not territorial or aggressive. So keeping your pet here would be a fun time for everyone. Back yard is not fenced so your dog would always be on a leash. But we would go for walks pending your approval as I live in a perfect neighborhood for walking.
“My little one had so much fun staying with Courtney! I did not have to worry at all about her care or safety while I had to be away. Courtney sent daily updates with pictures. I will definitely use Courtney again!”
“Jerry was great with the pick up and drop off of my dog he also made sure his dogs and mine got along before the rover start date began. Photos and videos were sent to me from time to time. I would definitely recommend Jerry again .”
“Matt and his family really took care of my German Shepherd Dog, Skye. He knows the characteristics and nature of GSD and he dealt with bigger dogs before so we put trust in him. We made a right choice!! He updated every day about the summary of the day with pictures. He and his family included my dog as their family and I could tell that she was in good hands!! They made my dog feel comfortable and made her feel at home. We will most definitely choose him as our dog sitter. I think Skye will like that too!!!”
“Martica is truly the best! We’ve booked with her seven times, Including a week long stay when we were traveling internationally. She’s like a second mom to our pup Jaxon. She’s caring, trustworthy, super responsive, sends tons of pics & video and is flexible with our unpredictable military schedule. I never had to worry when Jaxon was with her—he was safe, happy, and so loved. We’re so sad to be moving and wish we could take her with us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family! Thank You Martica! 💕🐾”

“Jill was a phenomenal rover for us on a recent trip. She (and her whole family, honestly) took amazing care to make sure our Shepherd Mix, Foxy, was comfortable and loved. They did a wonderful job and sent great updates during the stay. They went out of their way to ensure we were a good fit, and we will absolutely book with them again!”
“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”
“Brianna C. Took excellent care of Nina. When I drop Nina off I know that she will be more than well looked after, she's going to have fun! Watching Nina play with new dog friends and enjoy her self eases my mind, making it so I can focus on my trip and not have to worry.”
“Milika did a great job of taking care of my Frankie boy who’s never been with a stranger before. She even made him some chicken! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again”
