“Fantastic experience! Tasha and her family went above and beyond! They treated our dog like family. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Could not be more pleased! Would absolutely recommend Tasha! We will use her again!!!”
“Christina did an amazing job taking care of my Reo! She was super responsive and kept me updated the entire time, which I truly appreciated. She even sent pictures, which really eased my anxiety and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. I could tell Reo was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Christina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Sue-Ling was amazing with my pup. It was his first time ever being boarded away from me and she kept me updated on him and how he was doing. She was very attentive. I will be booking with her again!”
“Carey was exceptionally responsive and accommodating. She took great care of our baby for over two weeks and sent many reassuring pictures. Dakota looks forward to staying with Carey and her family again.”
“This is my third time having Jerry watch my 2 girls! He is my go-to when I am out of town because he is responsible, communicative, and most importantly treats my girls like his own. They always come back happy and tired!”
“Steven and his family were amazing with my pup. We are new to the area and have never left our dog overnight with a “stranger”. Steven and his family treated him like family and sent us updates as well as photos on the regular to make us feel more at ease. I’d say Kado enjoyed himself too, and was so wore out with all the stimulation and fun, that he slept for almost 2 days! Will definitely be using Steven for future stays and would 10/10 recommend.”
“Jennifer was wonderful keeping Cohen and Kelly. She provided regular updates both morning and at night to let me know how things were going. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Andrew was great with communicating, ensured Rupert was safe and comfortable, and got lots of walks! He also sent update photos so I knew Rupert was enjoying himself and administered Rupert’s daily medications without a hitch! 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was the first time having to leave my dog with a sitter so I was apprehensive but didn’t have a choice. Sarah was fantastic! She would provide updates and send pictures. I thought my dog adopted a new family and wouldn’t want to come home (thankfully he did)! I would certainly go back to Sarah if I needed dog sitting services again!”
“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.”
“Amy was wonderful! She sent me updates everyday. My pup is high energy and can be a handful but Amy was able to make her feel like part of the family. In fact my pup almost didn't want to leave. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kelly was a great sitter! This was the first time we boarded our dog with her and she kept us updated everyday and sent the cutest pictures! It seemed like her whole family really enjoyed Dune’s company. She was very responsive and always answered right away. I really felt like our dog was in great hands! Would highly recommend Kelly for boarding!”
“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Raquel and her family are excellent pet sitters. Daily updates with pictures kept me very happy to see Emma being well taken care of and having fun. Will most definitely use Rover and Raquel again!!”
“Allie is the best!! I’m so glad I found her so I don’t have to stress the entire time I’m away. My girl hates the boarding place but I usually don’t have another option and she won’t look at me for a week afterwards. After being with Allie she’s not only looking at me she gave me hugs so I know she approves 😂”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“We always feel our girls are in good hands when we take them to Diane's. They are excited to see her and she stays in touch with us constantly to let us know how they're doing.”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”
“Taylor and family did a fine job of taking care of our dog, Billy. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up, and he sent us videos of him playing and enjoying himself in their home. I highly recommend Taylor.”
“Gabrielle was terrific. Her family treated our Mochi as one of their own. They have a nice hime in a good neighborhood with a fenced in yard. Gabrielle’s dogs were great company. We’ll done!”

“Ashton has been pet sitting for me a few times now and she is my go-to sitter. She is attentive and responsive and my cats love her! She takes such great care of them and I appreciate her help so much.”
“Sofia is fantastic! Took great care of my cat Reese. Kept me updated and included pictures. I will use her anytime I need help with Reese. Thank you Sofia! I sincerely appreciate you!!!”
“Lauren was AMAZING with Kiwi while I was on vacation. She was extremely patient and calm which helped a lot. Kiwi turned out to be very shy and hid under the couch for a few days. Lauren was patient with her and made her feel comfortable to come out and play. I 100% recommend Lauren to take care of your pet while you’re away. She shows great care and puts your mind at ease! Also, expect the cutest photos of your pet everyday”
“Debbie was so sweet with Lily! She came over prior to her visits to meet me and lily and see what exactly she needed to do. Debbie kept me updated with photos of Lily and was very responsive whenever I messaged her!”
“Elizabeth is the absolute best! Our cat doesn’t like many people but she loves Elizabeth and we feel so much better knowing she will be sitting for us when we are out of town.”
“Gabi is fantastic! I hope she is available the next time I have to leave my cat at home for a trip out of town. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone reliable, punctual and thorough.”
“Carol was great! I have never had so little to do when returning from a trip! The cats were happy, no messes (that's a big thing with my cats!) and it was wonderful to know they were so well cared for. Carol was very communicative and went the extra mile. I will definitely ask her to sit again. ”
“Nicole is the best!! She showed up when we needed her the most. We had to leave to haul supplies to Asheville but our cat didn’t come home the night before. Thankfully Nicole was there to make sure she got inside and was taken care of. We can’t thank you enough Nicole, you eased our minds and hearts! ❤️”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I don't currently have pets at my apartment where I'll be pet sitting, my family has five dogs, so I'm very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I volunteered with a local animal rescue throughout all four years of high school, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments by walking, feeding, socializing, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while they waited to find their forever homes. During that time, I also served as a foster, providing temporary homes for rescue dogs and helping them adjust to a loving environment. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals. In college, I served as the Treasurer for UNCW's Service Dog Training and Education Program (STEP) for two years. While I'm not a professional dog trainer, my involvement with the organization gave me valuable experience working alongside service dogs and handlers. I'm happy to reinforce basic training, good manners, and routines while your pet is in my care. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. They'll rarely be left alone, and I'll be able to stick closely to their normal routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I understand that every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I'll care for your pet as if they were one of my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervised care throughout the day. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care. Whether your pet needs an active day filled with walks and play or simply a calm, cozy environment with lots of love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's as close to home as possible. Because I work from home, I'll be with your pet for most of the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will have a safe, calm environment to relax and feel at home. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own.
“Lauren was amazing! We've lucked out and have been able to have family or friends come over to let our pups out when we have to be away for long periods of time, until now. We reached out to Lauren via Rover to come over and check on our pups. One was extremely worried about her presence and the other warmed up after a while. She is communicative and pleasent to talk with via the app. Her Rover Report Cards were detailed (with adorable pics) and helped put our minds at ease with a stranger caring for our pups. Thanks Lauren ?”

“We selected Julia for our Carolina Dog based on reviews, her experience with big dogs and the fact that she is a certified dog trainer. We were delighted to find that in addition to all of that she is kind and caring too. Zoë has found a new friend as well as a home away from home and we have found piece of mind.”
“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”
About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel.

About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

“Cara got some very good exposure to calm larger dogs and it was a positive experience! A nice walk at Long Leaf Park with Buddy was a great thing for her to do. Thank you Allie!”
“Savannah is great! She went above and beyond to accommodate my fluctuating schedule while I was in town for family events. She was extremely kind and sensitive to Sunny's needs. He is an older dog, and needs medication and TLC. She sent updates and photos, always a reassuring thing! I would give her 10 stars if I could, and am very happy to have found her. I will absolutely use her again!”
About: Reliable and attentive professional dog sitter dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and stress-free care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Experienced in daily routines including feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining consistent schedules to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Known for a calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail, I focus on building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra support, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and a clean, secure environment so owners can have complete peace of mind. Passionate about animal wellbeing and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I have decided to make caring for pets my full time job. I am single and live alone with my 2 yr old female pupper. We have plenty of time to make your fur babies feel how special they actually are. I have a small fenced in yard. If it's nice out then I like to leave it open so they have free reign. My place is small so I'm always near. I will only accept pets that get along with other dogs. It starts with my dog, Kaiya. She gets along with all dogs so if a dog has a problem with her then they won't be invited for doggy day care. However, that does not mean I cannot pay a visit to your house for any needs. I can also crate any dog that is better suited for that environment. Safety for all pups under my watch is the number one priority.

They are wonderful & I absolutely trust their care!”

He arrived on time for every walk, printed out the schedule for my mom who forgets things, and was just all-around wonderful. I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he has done.”

About: As of 2020 I have never had a dog my of my own, consider me the cool, fun, yet responsible Aunt. I loved any opportunity to take care of friends and familes pets throughout the years. Around 2005 my sister who has since passed away, got a dog and named him sammy and that is when i fell in love with animals. I saw how much she loved him and how much he loved her back, its a special bond. During her sickness he was by her side constantly and thats something I will never forget. One of my close friends lives down the street and comes over weekly, I have special dog bowls, treats, food and toys just for his dogs. When he is out of town I am the 1st person he calls to see if someone can dog sit, I always say yes of course. I love dogs and all animals and I'd be honored to meet and help take care of yours. Hope to meet you guys soon. Now in 2022 I have had my Chocolate Lab Whiskey for 2 years this December!

About: Hi! My name is Ashton and I have 7 years experience in check-in pet care for dogs and cats. Growing up on a farm, I was always been around animals but my love for animals grew even more when I adopted my soul cat, Biscuit. If I could have an house full of pets I would, but unfortunately due to Biscuits medical issues, he requires being the only animal in the house. This is why I love pet sitting so much!! It allows me to love on so many different fur babies! I have experience with all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I can also provide extra patience/attention to animals who may be shy/nervous or may have anxiety (social, separation, storm, etc.) I am knowledgeable on specific special needs such as dietary restrictions and medication administration. As a pet owner myself, I love to provide owners a peace of mind while away from their fur babies, as well as provide reliable care and love to their pet! Can provide excellent references! Can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I currently work from home full time during the week. With my ability to work remotely, I am available during the day, as well as afternoons.

About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay, and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own, and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. All types of pets are welcome. I live in a more rural area of Wilmington and have a large fence surrounding my house. Most days, my schedule is very flexible and open, and I am able to give my full attention to the pets staying with me. I am a very diligent caretaker, always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature, so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary, go to the park, or even go swimming!
“Carol was a great dog sitter and I will definitely have her watch my dog again. She sent me updates about my dog as well as pictures. I felt very comfortable with living my dog with Carol. ”
About: I know you’ve heard the same story on here just with a different name attached to it. So I’ll save you the “I’ve been around animals my entire life speech”. If you entrust me with your animals, I will care for them as if they were my own. You’ll never have to question whether they’re being loved, well cared for, and thoroughly spoiled. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and punctuality, so you’ll always know your pets are safe and happy. From consistent updates to dependable care, your animals will always be treated with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve. They truly couldn’t be in better hands. I work a full time job but it is a split schedule so my availability is different than the standard fri-sun availability that comes with having a full time job. I provide attentive, in-home pet care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication support, litter box cleaning, and companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, giving updates and plenty of love along the way.

He knows her name before she ever comes which tells me that he’s very excited about the treatment that she does in making him feel comfortable on his walks. what a peaceful feeling for a dog owner to know that their dog is that well taken care of.”

“Fantastic experience! Tasha and her family went above and beyond! They treated our dog like family. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Could not be more pleased! Would absolutely recommend Tasha! We will use her again!!!”
“Carey was exceptionally responsive and accommodating. She took great care of our baby for over two weeks and sent many reassuring pictures. Dakota looks forward to staying with Carey and her family again.”
“Steven and his family were amazing with my pup. We are new to the area and have never left our dog overnight with a “stranger”. Steven and his family treated him like family and sent us updates as well as photos on the regular to make us feel more at ease. I’d say Kado enjoyed himself too, and was so wore out with all the stimulation and fun, that he slept for almost 2 days! Will definitely be using Steven for future stays and would 10/10 recommend.”
“Jennifer was wonderful keeping Cohen and Kelly. She provided regular updates both morning and at night to let me know how things were going. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Andrew was great with communicating, ensured Rupert was safe and comfortable, and got lots of walks! He also sent update photos so I knew Rupert was enjoying himself and administered Rupert’s daily medications without a hitch! 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was the first time having to leave my dog with a sitter so I was apprehensive but didn’t have a choice. Sarah was fantastic! She would provide updates and send pictures. I thought my dog adopted a new family and wouldn’t want to come home (thankfully he did)! I would certainly go back to Sarah if I needed dog sitting services again!”
“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.”
“Amy was wonderful! She sent me updates everyday. My pup is high energy and can be a handful but Amy was able to make her feel like part of the family. In fact my pup almost didn't want to leave. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kelly was a great sitter! This was the first time we boarded our dog with her and she kept us updated everyday and sent the cutest pictures! It seemed like her whole family really enjoyed Dune’s company. She was very responsive and always answered right away. I really felt like our dog was in great hands! Would highly recommend Kelly for boarding!”
“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Raquel and her family are excellent pet sitters. Daily updates with pictures kept me very happy to see Emma being well taken care of and having fun. Will most definitely use Rover and Raquel again!!”
“Allie is the best!! I’m so glad I found her so I don’t have to stress the entire time I’m away. My girl hates the boarding place but I usually don’t have another option and she won’t look at me for a week afterwards. After being with Allie she’s not only looking at me she gave me hugs so I know she approves 😂”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“We always feel our girls are in good hands when we take them to Diane's. They are excited to see her and she stays in touch with us constantly to let us know how they're doing.”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”
“Gabrielle was terrific. Her family treated our Mochi as one of their own. They have a nice hime in a good neighborhood with a fenced in yard. Gabrielle’s dogs were great company. We’ll done!”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”
“Josephine was very accomodating for our last minute dogsitting needs Thanksgiving weekend. She took great care of Lucy who loved playing with Roxy! We appreciate her patience and love she gave our anxious dog.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I don't currently have pets at my apartment where I'll be pet sitting, my family has five dogs, so I'm very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I volunteered with a local animal rescue throughout all four years of high school, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments by walking, feeding, socializing, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while they waited to find their forever homes. During that time, I also served as a foster, providing temporary homes for rescue dogs and helping them adjust to a loving environment. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals. In college, I served as the Treasurer for UNCW's Service Dog Training and Education Program (STEP) for two years. While I'm not a professional dog trainer, my involvement with the organization gave me valuable experience working alongside service dogs and handlers. I'm happy to reinforce basic training, good manners, and routines while your pet is in my care. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. They'll rarely be left alone, and I'll be able to stick closely to their normal routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I understand that every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I'll care for your pet as if they were one of my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervised care throughout the day. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care. Whether your pet needs an active day filled with walks and play or simply a calm, cozy environment with lots of love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's as close to home as possible. Because I work from home, I'll be with your pet for most of the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will have a safe, calm environment to relax and feel at home. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own.
“Robert did a fantastic job taking care of our dog frankie! I can highly recommend him for anyone looking for competent and empathetic care for their pet in Wilmington!!”
