“Jerry was amazing and took excellent care of Raya. He even celebrated her first birthday with a pup cup and doggy cookies! I very much appreciated the updates and pictures of how she was doing. Highly recommend Jerry!”
“Taylor was a great sitter for our little girl Dottie! His whole family made her feel welcome and she fit right in. We will use him again when we need a sitter. I would not hesitate to put any dog with him and his family. We were a little afraid of putting Dottie (she can be a little aggressive sometimes) with their dog Charlie, but they got along great! Thanks Taylor, for a great experience!!”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than friends before, so I was really nervous. I brought Finn to Helena's to meet before our vacation, and he took to her immediately. She sent me photos of him every day we were gone, and it made me so happy to see how much they were enjoying each other! He had so much fun that he barely got excited to see me when I picked him up! LOL! Is there a better compliment from a dog? Helena is fabulous and we will be using her again!!!!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats, and as an adult, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two blind rescue dogs, as well as my current lovable 16-pound Aussiedoodle, Zoey. Zoey lives with me and gets along well with other dogs. For the past 2½ years, I’ve owned and operated a dog-walking and cat-care business, caring for a variety of neighborhood pets. My experience includes three 19-year-old cats, two medium and large Doodles, a Dachshund I’ve cared for since he was just 10 weeks old, and dogs of many different mixed breeds, ages, and personalities. My approach is to always let the animal lead. Both of my rescue dogs came from very difficult circumstances, and I learned how important patience, trust, and a sense of safety are. Rather than expecting an animal to immediately feel comfortable with me, I give them the time and space they need to open up on their own. With a calm, loving, and safe environment, that trust usually begins to develop naturally. I’m especially comfortable with animals who may be shy, fearful, cautious, or unsure of strangers. I take a very gentle approach, allowing them to get to know me at their own pace. Once they feel safe and comfortable, that’s when the magic unfolds! I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means sleeping in a crate at night or curling up on the bed. I live in a first-floor apartment facing a nice open green space, which makes it easy to provide frequent potty breaks and neighborhood walks. With pet-parent permission, it’s my norm to send daily updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering medications and handling foods that require refrigeration or freezing. I watch dogs who are 1-25 lbs. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I am currently retired so I am home most of the day/night. I live with my 16 lb non-shedding Aussie doogle dog, Zoey. I may step out to run errands, go to an appointment, other, but am otherwise at home. I allow dogs to sleep on my bed or stay in a crate at night, per pet parents wishes. If you are traveling and require a pick up after 6 pm just let me know so we can work something out. I live in an apartment on the first floor, so I have easy access to let dogs out for potty breaks as I face an open green space. I live in a safe community with plenty of sidewalks and street lighting. I often walk my dog clients in the morning when it is cool outside, so they can get adequate exercise. On rainy days, I like to occupy your pet with tug-o-war, or a treat-kong, or playing with other toys. Please feel free to bring your dog's favorite toys.
“Angela is the best! Our Maggie was well cared for in Angela's home for a week. Angela's daily updates & pictures kept us worry free. We are so happy with the care that Maggie received that we have already booked Angela again. We highly recommend Angela for any pet sitting needs!”
“Kim is the BEST sitter I’ve ever had. My dog can get separation anxiety when I leave, but Kim provided the most personable, loving and fun environment that Bella enjoyed thoroughly. She sent the most adorable photos to assure me that my little princess was thriving with Kim and her sweet family! I would recommend her 10 times over.”
“Our dogs were very comfortable at Robert’s and he treated them as if they were his own . He sent a picture daily and I felt at ease knowing they were well cared for . I will def use him again when I need a dog sitter . I highly recommend him for your nxt vacation to care for your dogs”

“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!”
About: Growing up we had both dogs and cats in the house. As soon as I had an apartment that allowed dogs, I adopted my sweet and sassy pup snoopy. Over the years his mobility declined and I gained insight in how to care for an elderly pup including administering shots, and oral medication. Last year my fiancé and I adopted our sweet girl Betty. She tested us as a puppy, and provided an opportunity to learn about training a dog with a different personality from my first pup. I work as an RN Monday- Thursday and my fiancé works from home Monday- Friday. We live in a first floor apartment with a walk out patio. Our complex also has a dog park and plenty of space for long walks. We are a nonsmoking home with no children; just Betty and she is very friendly with other dogs. I recently relocated to the Cary area for work, but my new job does not start until mid October! Prior to the move, I was a full time student and working on Rover. My schedule is pretty open to care for your pets! I am familiar with different harnesses and the importance of leashing dogs when out and about. My apartment has several fenced dog areas and lots of outdoor walking space!
“We love Haley and her sweet gentle little girl. They took great care of our Chi Chi. This was our 1st time using Rover and we were a little nervous. We will never be nervous again as long as Haley is available. Special points for her large backyard. Lots of room for pups to play.”
“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”
“So good. My dog sometimes comes home pretty stressed, no fault of other boarders. But with Allie he was part of a great group of peaceful dogs and came home very relaxed. Great communication throughout his stay. Very good experience.”
“Samantha and her family were the best! They took such great care of Finn, he came home a very tired, happy boy. She was very quick to respond and provided daily updates with pictures while I was away. I will absolutely use this family again as a sitter. They are so trusting and I will be recommending them to all of my friends :)”

“This was our first time having Stephanie care for our three cats, and we couldn’t be happier. Stephanie updated us daily on her visits and sent pics, which I greatly appreciate. She brought in mail and packages, and even filled our bird and squirrel feeders!”
About: Caring for animals is more than just a job for me it’s a genuine passion. I have spent years caring for cats, both my own and strays in my community. I currently have two cats of my own and have been feeding and monitoring a feral cat for several years. Over the years, I have raised numerous kittens, cared for senior cats, and gained experience administering basic care, monitoring health, and providing plenty of love and attention.
“Whitney was wonderful taking care of our two cats when we were away during a big snow storm! She sent us updates each day and not only made sure their needs were met, but spent time to play and socialize with them daily. It’s great to have someone trustworthy nearby for our cats in the future!”
“Jenny watched my cat for a few days over Christmas and she did an amazing job!! You can really tell how much she cares for the pets she watches based on her detailed notes and pictures each visit. This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel so comfortable with the whole experience. She was so professional and friendly. Knowing my kitty was being well cared for made it easier being away from home. Thank you Jenny!!!”
“Tiffeny did a great job! She truly seemed to like my cat who's older and reserved. She was on time, and did everything I asked and more. She was pleasant, easy to work with and communicated well. I will use her again.”
“Taryn was wonderful! She checked on Milo and was able to play and cuddle with him. He immediately took to her and was excited to see her and get attention. Highly recommend Taryn for any pet sits, she’s incredibly reliable and communicative.”
“Brandon was very responsive to my initial request and from our first meeting I knew he’d take great care Beans and Pickles, aka “the Boys”. He provided regular updates and the pictures he sent made me so happy, because the Boys don’t typically come out for company. They actually had a look of disappointment when I walked in today, hoping it was Brandon!”
“Mel was such a treasure to have! She was so good with my special needs cats and they warmed up to her with ease! I would highly recommend using her and would have no problem booking her again!”
About: I have walked, taken care of overnight, and trained dogs for the past 5 years starting from the puppy stages to older dogs. I also have a dog of my own that I have raised from 6 weeks old and she is now 6 years old. I am very flexible and have tons of time for your pets! Just message me what you need and I will definitely make it happen! I am very playful with dogs when I go to see them. I love going on walks and do playtime with them. I also do not mind bathing, taking them to the park or anything a client can think of that they would like me to do with their dog.
“Samatha was awesome. She took great care of our cat when we were away and kept us informed. We never had any concerns our cat was not getting love and affection every day. I highly recommend.”
“Katie helped with drop-in visits for our kitty. She was professional, communicative, and trustworthy! We appreciated the photos and notes she sent each visit. Will definitely request her services again and highly recommend!”
“Hilary was so great and I’d recommend her to anyone. She watched my new kitten that stumbled upon us for 9 days. She put my mind at ease so I could be on vacation mode. Communicated everyday with texts/photo of our kitten which was amazing. Followed the feeding schedule and special requests. Thank you for everything Hilary!”

“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”
“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”
“Helena was quick and thorough with communication. She went above and beyond to help Dakota feel comfortable. It is evident how much Helena loves dogs and wants them to feel at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior pup with her.”
About: I have always had either a cat or dog. I recently had to say goodbye to our cat and lost my dachshund about 2 years ago. My son and I are not ready to get another pet of our own but, we would like to take care of your pet as we would our own.

“This was our first ever Rover experience and we’re so glad we chose Valerie to watch Winnie so we could do some sightseeing. She was so quick to reply, so flexible with times and above all, so so wonderful w Winnie. So much playing in a fenced yard snd cuddling in the AC—I’m sure coming back to us was a disappointment for Winnie!! I wish there was a choice for 10 stars because that’s what she is.”

I can be very flexible with when you need me and I promise I will treat your animals as I would my own!

My two dogs Lulu and Fez are sweethearts, and they have always gotten along with any dog or cat that I’ve brought over to the house.
“2 day daycare stay: Katie was ABOVE and beyond not only caring for my crazy Millie girl (boxer/pitt) but also as a person. She was such a joy to talk to at drop off and pickup, and kept me up to-do-date with pictures and videos during Millie’s stay. I would hands down recommend her to anyone as well as use her again. If only she lived closer to Charlotte, all three of my dogs would be with her everyday! THANK YOU, Katie!!!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and other animals has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality to ensure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I am currently in online college working towards a degree in environmental science. Pet sitting is a good way for me to stay focused on school while still be able to work. In addition to caring for pets, I take pride in being clean, organized, and reliable. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure it is clean and tidy when you return.

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life, from a large collie, down to my current 15 lb chorkie. He's 17 years old and still a happy critter. I've volunteered with Angels of Assisi and Red Dog Farms. I have also offered temporary care to cats. My schedule is wide open at this time, so I am very flexible. Let me know when you need me and we can make it work. I'm not currently offering dog care in my home, but I am happy to bring your critter to the nearest dog park for some sun and fun.
About: I have been around animals my entire life, connected more with them than people. I have pet sat for multiple family/friends. I take care of puppies and have taken care of dogs requiring medication or special walking instructions I walk my dogs daily, exercise is very important for any dog. A good diet is important to I make sure that playing and a good connection is involved I have 2 dogs at home, and 3 cats. My animals are my everything, I treat them with the same respect that I want from them.
“Jenny has been fantastic watching after my dog Sophie for the last couple of weeks while I was away. She really came through in a bind and added a last minute walk when a flight was cancelled and I had to leave earlier than expected. And she's gone above and beyond addressing some health problems Sophie has been experiencing. Daily updates and photos have put my mind at ease and it's clear Sophie trusts her and really enjoys her company. I would recommend Jenny to anyone and would absolutely call on her again when needed.”
“Kamy is extremely reliable, even at the last minute! She is so punctual and follows any special instructions I leave carefully. I’m so at ease knowing my puppy is in great hands and can’t recommend her services enough.”
About: My family has owned dogs since long before I came along. And thus, I've taken care of everything from chihuahuas to goldens and working line german shepherds. I started caring for them myself when I was about five and haven't stopped since. I've raised multiple litters of puppies, assisted in dog training, given both injections and oral medicine daily, and am capable of caring for anything from new born puppies to elderly dogs. I am currently a student and have classes Monday through Thursday, but I have plenty of time between classes and on weekends to help care for your critters!! I can't do boarding at my place due to living in an apartment, but I can do any kind of care needed at your place! I can play and keep them near like I do with my dogs, I can feed, give medicine, clean up after them, crate them, whatever's necessary! Just tell me how you want it done!
About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a young teenager. I truly enjoy getting to care for pets even though I’m not quite ready for one of my own while I’m in school. I have experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from skilled leash walkers to the more enthusiastic ones, and I love them all the same. I am currently in medical school on various rotations. I work 15 8-hour shifts per month. Outside of that, I am extremely flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of your pets! I live alone in an apartment that is pet-friendly. The complex itself is all side walks and there are many side yards for leashed walks and outside time. If pets are in my home I treat them as my own, which is like a beloved family member. Of course, I abide by the house rules of the owner if families have certain rules for their pets while in their own homes. For my walking services, I make sure to only walk in safe areas and am very self aware of my surroundings, making sure your dog is safe the entire time.
“Kate was incredibly quick to reply and adaptive to my last minute scheduling need today. She was professional, thoughtful, with good communication and updates . My dog loves her already and was all puppy smiles.”
About: I have helped my mother by dog sitting her dog that she rescued about 7 years ago. It has truly made me appreciate time spent with dogs. I am usually relaxing while home.

I also have a back porch that is also well maintained.

“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
About: Growing up we had both dogs and cats in the house. As soon as I had an apartment that allowed dogs, I adopted my sweet and sassy pup snoopy. Over the years his mobility declined and I gained insight in how to care for an elderly pup including administering shots, and oral medication. Last year my fiancé and I adopted our sweet girl Betty. She tested us as a puppy, and provided an opportunity to learn about training a dog with a different personality from my first pup. I work as an RN Monday- Thursday and my fiancé works from home Monday- Friday. We live in a first floor apartment with a walk out patio. Our complex also has a dog park and plenty of space for long walks. We are a nonsmoking home with no children; just Betty and she is very friendly with other dogs. I recently relocated to the Cary area for work, but my new job does not start until mid October! Prior to the move, I was a full time student and working on Rover. My schedule is pretty open to care for your pets! I am familiar with different harnesses and the importance of leashing dogs when out and about. My apartment has several fenced dog areas and lots of outdoor walking space!
“We love Haley and her sweet gentle little girl. They took great care of our Chi Chi. This was our 1st time using Rover and we were a little nervous. We will never be nervous again as long as Haley is available. Special points for her large backyard. Lots of room for pups to play.”
“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”
“So good. My dog sometimes comes home pretty stressed, no fault of other boarders. But with Allie he was part of a great group of peaceful dogs and came home very relaxed. Great communication throughout his stay. Very good experience.”
“Samantha and her family were the best! They took such great care of Finn, he came home a very tired, happy boy. She was very quick to respond and provided daily updates with pictures while I was away. I will absolutely use this family again as a sitter. They are so trusting and I will be recommending them to all of my friends :)”
“Erin was a great sitter! She provided lots of updates and my cattle dog had lots of fun running around with her golden retriever in their huge fenced yard. Would definitely use Erin again in the future!”
“Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.”
“Adam was great! He made sure our energetic pup, Bruce, needs were met. This was our first time leaving our pup behind for a week, but we were beyond pleased with the experience. Adam made it easy and stress-free. He always responded whenever I checked in and was happy to send photos any time. We are so happy we have a great dog sitter for future boardings. Thank you again, Adam!”
“Carey was wonderful with Jager! She was extremely responsive, friendly, and kept me well updated with photos throughout his stay. It was clear her whole family showered my fur baby with love. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
