“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“I hate to send this glowing review because I want to keep Pam’s schedule open just for me!! ? She literally is an answer to prayer. Being newly empty nesters, we’ve been wanting to take several short trips but had no one to keep our 10 year old dog. She’s never been boarded so we didn’t want to go that route. We found Pam through Rover and booked with her because of the rave reviews. And, she was better than any of our expectations. She LOVED on our girl, sent pics and updates every day, and Lexi came home so happy, healthy, and with no separation anxiety. We feel so blessed to have found Pam and her husband Dave was awesome with Lexi as well. Thank you so much!!!”
“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“Our dog was right at home. Francisco did a great job communicating and was flexible when our return flight was late. BeBe our 10 Month old pit loved him. I highly recommend Francisco. We will be back next time we need to board BeBe.”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“We love Joanne! She is wonderful with dogs. Her home is warm and inviting and the yard is a doggie oasis. Jasper loved his stay. Joanne provided daily updates and pictures. We will certainly utilize her services again.”
“Laura was great with Beau and I believe Beau had a great time with Laura and her family including her dog! I would recommend Laura and I will definitely use her again! She was excellent!!”
“Mitzi and her family were wonderful! Max made himself right at home and had lots of fun with his new furry friends. Mitzi sent videos and pictures every day so I could see how happy he was. We will definitely be using Mitzi again for boarding Max. Thank you!”
“Michelle was phenomenal with Duke and Leo . She definitely communicate at top tier. The thing I love she also welcomed me into home to see we’re the set up was. Her son also is a big help I watched him take care of them as well . I can’t ask for a better person to take care of the pups this is a good experience an also made me feel super comfortable then ever.”
“Amber is the greatest. I will never have any problem leaving my puppy with her. Matter of fact I think she has a better time over there than she does with me at the house.”
“I am glad I contacted Mr. Gregorio to take care of Brownie!!! He always kept in touch with us, sending us photos and videos!!! I am sure Brownie felt right at home!!! He took care of her and served her with great care... I definitely hope to have his availability for future occasions. Thank you, Mr. Gregorio!!! ☺️”
“Tracy took great care of our dogs these past few days. She sent daily pics and updates and also bathed them. When we picked them up they did not act all crazy, we had a nice ride home. Thank you Tracy for the great care. We will definitely reach out to Tracy next time and recommend her to our family and friends and anyone else shopping for a great pet sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and saw that Sara had great reviews and out experience met all of the expectations. Sara made us comfortable and she understood our dogs physical limitations and accommodated our dog seamlessly. Sara sent daily pictures which were wonderful. We will use Sara on our next out of town trips. Thank you Sara”
“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.”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”

About: Hello, I’m Jess! I grew up around animals from the time I could walk until now. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, fish and a horse! I’ve always felt so comfortable and at ease around all kinds of animals and have always tried to help every animal I can (even if my parents didn’t appreciate it haha). I currently moved down to North Carolina with my cat and lived with 4 other cats, 4 dogs, and 6 birds before now. I also rescued a 9week old kitten from a dumpster a couple months ago! I’m really excited to have the chance to care for your fur babies while you’re unavailable! I can ensure they will stick to any schedule they may have, have any necessary medications on time, and are happy and safe before I let them have their “me” time! I’m currently working night shifts, part time, so I’m available during the day for our pets and late at night! I typically have 3 days off per week and am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pets have the best care possible! I like to come in and figure out what I can do to make the fur babies days a little better! Make sure they have food, water, find some treats and toys for them, and have a field day of play! I always triple check that my home and my clients homes are clean and safe when I leave so we don’t risk accidents happening and so everyone can rest easy! My primary concern is always your pets safety and well-being, as well as my own, so you can rest assured your pets will remain in a safe and happy environment while I’m there!
“Kayla was amazing! She was very thorough and detail oriented when giving me updates after each visit. She was also very helpful when a couple of random asks came up. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Lillie has proven to continue to provide exceptional service. She has been flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with! I feel very comfortable entrusting Lillie with my senior pup (and my home as well).”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I have worked professionally with animals in boarding, grooming, and veterinary settings, giving me experience with shy cats, senior cats, kittens, multi-cat households, and cats that require medications or extra patience. I currently work as a veterinary assistant where I help with treatments, medications, vaccines, blood draws, dental cleanings, X-rays, IV fluids, anesthesia monitoring, recovery care, and general feline care. I am comfortable handling nervous or anxious cats and always work to make them feel safe and stress-free. I also have experience with grooming-related care including nail trims, ear cleanings, teeth brushing, and basic hygiene care. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian and have a strong passion for animal health and behavior. I treat every cat like my own and focus on providing loving, patient, and reliable care while you are away.
“Anastasiya was wonderful with our very shy kitty. She watched her for over a week and kept us updated with pictures and video. Anastasiya was patient and caring with our Elsie who really dislikes like change. I'd feel very comfortable and happy to leave Elsie again with her.”
“Can't say enough good things about Elissa. You can tell she loves her job and the animals she cares for. I can always relax when I'm away knowing that she's taking great care of my mischievous ones at home.”
“Jessica is so reliable and thoughtful when taking care of our cats and dogs. I appreciate her thorough communication and willingness to make sure our pets are fully taken care of. I always highly recommend her for stress-free, worry-free service for any fur babies.”
“Ruth was absolutely amazing!! She was so communicative and kind with watching my cats. I’ve never been so at ease and comfortable being away from them when I need to go on trips. She sent tons of photos and let me know how they were doing, made sure they were clean, well taken care of, and played with on her drop ins. I am SO grateful and appreciative for her kindness and hard work!”
“Kathleen did an incredible job looking after our two cats, Boris and Ivan, while we were away for a long weekend. The cats took to her immediately, and she was communicative and professional through the whole process. She also sent us great pics and videos to keep us updated.”
About: I will be spending time with them at the dog park at my neighborhood and they will be treated like my own dog. I will love them as if they were own. I can take them for a walk every 2 hours and if you have any changes feel free to call me. I am at home all day so they will be under my supervision 24/7. I will feed them, give them their needs, take them out to use the bathroom and for a walk, and maybe take them for a run, and go to the dog park.
About: I have had pets around me my whole life: dogs, cats, fish..the usual. I have a love of fur babies. Animals usually seem to gravitate to me and I love it. Have watched and taken care of the pets of friends and family for years. My goal in caring for your pets is to make sure that even though they miss you when you're gone, it won't seem like you're gone long to them due to the love and care I will provide them. I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to devote to your precious family members. My house is small so I will only be able to come to you. I am available to devote as much time as you and your little ones need. I live in a small home with 2 others. I have my baby Willow who is 2 years old and a Boxer/Sheppard/Pit mix. We don't have a fully fenced in yard but there is a dog park nearby that I love taking her to.

About: I grew up around horses, dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs. I love animals and getting an opportunity to spend time with them and take care of them. Growing up, I also got to watch my sister who was in law enforcement do some K-9 training and help with her breeding business. I recently moved back home to NC post military- I started working Rover Jan. 23’ during unemployment and I loved it and want to continue as a side job! I am offering to pet sit over night if needed, provide potty breaks and walks for clients, and feeding services, etc. as requested by the client. Any additional information please do not hesitate to ask :)
About: Hi there!!! I have over 20 years of experience owning, loving, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes!! I am currently raising a Great Dane puppy, but I love the little guys too!! I am more than happy to offer references and show you where your friend will be staying when he comes here to visit. I have access to a large fenced in soccer field, located a short 5min walk from my house where the pups can run and play safely. I can also offer basic training, baths, and nail trims!
“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!”
“Moses had a great day with Sarai. He is a pretty anxious guy, but she was great with him. She sent us several updates during the day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!
About: I have always loved dogs. Since, I was a child pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do to make extra money. I currently work full-time from home. Having a pet to care for will not only help past time but also bring joy while working full-time. I have lots of free space in my home, allowing pets to run freely throughout their stay. It is very homey for both humans and pets. I will ensure your pet is safe & well taken care of.
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: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest…I will be there too. My other job is driving for Uber and I work that around Pet Sitting so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special friend! I'm not currently available for boarding as my daughter is staying with me and we both have kitties. I like to work my schedule around the pet’s schedule and needs, and provide what each pet is used to on a daily basis - feeding times, medicine administration, sleeping habits, walks, etc.
About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.
“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”

I love taking care of neighbor pets and giving them extra snuggles when their owners are away. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. As a shelter nurse intern and foster dog mom, I loved working with shy, nervous, elderly and special needs pets. I am able to medicate pets as well when you are away. I would love to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have trained as a marathon runner in the past so I love taking animals for walks or runs. This is my only job so I have open availability 7 days a week for help care for your pet, as well as most hours of the day. Safety is always a priority for me.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I was lucky enough to be a dog mom to a 16yo GS, and now have a 9yo Labrador. We love a good dog pawty! I am a full time, remote student; I have plenty of time to give love and attention! We start our days around 5am, and retire between 9-10pm. We take early morning walks and sometimes in the evenings (if weather permits). I have a fenced in yard, and have a lovable Labrador to keep your dog company while youre away; he likes to share his toys and treats!
About: I grew up with many types of dogs, pit bulls, labs, pugs, poodles, boxers, chihuahuas. I have taken care of kittens that needed bottles and given medicine. I have owned pet birds in the past and I also have had a hamster and guinea pigs. I grew up around horses as well, I took care of my moms friends horse for 4 years and we grew a strong bond. Any animal I meet I always let them come to me first I can read animals body language easily. I have had friends ask me to take care of their pets for them and they are always happy when they know their pets have been well taken care of once they get them back. I have taken 3 vet classes and have my certificates from them. I am currently looking for a job at a vet place or grooming place so I have a lot of free time on my hands, so I would be able to watch animals any time of day or any day during the week. We have wooden floors in the home so if the animals make a mess it will be easy to clean, I always follow instructions of what animals can and cannot eat, I will never give human food to any animals as it can easily upset their stomach.
“Thank you ms. Patty for saving day. Very professional and passionate with my Rafiki. Frequently communicated with updates of my far baby Rafiki. I totally recommend her if you’re in need of her services.”
About: I am passionate about the welfare of animals and very keen when it comes to being a voice for them. The time, patience, and dedication required to not only care for but train our pets can be too much for the busy and fast-paced lifestyle many of us live nowadays. I'd love to be of service to those wanting to make sure their dog(s) gets the time and attention they want and need. I have the most experience with Medium/Large/XL dogs. Koda, who is a bully breed, has been everything to our family for almost 6 years. He is by far the most well-behaved and friendly dog I have ever experienced. The general breeds I have the most experience with are Bully breeds, Collies, Great Danes, and Mastiffs.

“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“Our dog was right at home. Francisco did a great job communicating and was flexible when our return flight was late. BeBe our 10 Month old pit loved him. I highly recommend Francisco. We will be back next time we need to board BeBe.”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“Amber is the greatest. I will never have any problem leaving my puppy with her. Matter of fact I think she has a better time over there than she does with me at the house.”
“I am glad I contacted Mr. Gregorio to take care of Brownie!!! He always kept in touch with us, sending us photos and videos!!! I am sure Brownie felt right at home!!! He took care of her and served her with great care... I definitely hope to have his availability for future occasions. Thank you, Mr. Gregorio!!! ☺️”
“Tracy took great care of our dogs these past few days. She sent daily pics and updates and also bathed them. When we picked them up they did not act all crazy, we had a nice ride home. Thank you Tracy for the great care. We will definitely reach out to Tracy next time and recommend her to our family and friends and anyone else shopping for a great pet sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and saw that Sara had great reviews and out experience met all of the expectations. Sara made us comfortable and she understood our dogs physical limitations and accommodated our dog seamlessly. Sara sent daily pictures which were wonderful. We will use Sara on our next out of town trips. Thank you Sara”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
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.
“Kelli and her family were great for my almost 11 yr old pupper. She was very communicative and sent pics throughout the time. Was very happy with the entire process. Was able to plan a pre visit meet and greet, and she seemed to have spoiled him a bit, which i appreciate it greatly! Will def contact Kelli again in the future! Thanks again!”
“I had a bad experience with a previous rover sitter so I was so reluctant to leave my baby but Casey eased all of that! She was extremely attentive with our baby. To the point where she will be my go to whenever I'm in the area and she is available. She was kind, very responsive and really eased all of my concerns. Thank you again for caring for our baby especially during our time of need!”
“Susan was fantastic! Hobbes had a great time and was so happy when he got to her place and saw that fenced in yard. Susan communicated often and was really responsive! Highly highly recommend!”
“This was the first time my two dogs stayed with Alex, and we were away for five days. The experience was outstanding! Alex’s communication immediately put me at ease, and her attention to detail went above and beyond. All the photos she sent made me so happy—I knew my dogs were in great hands. When we picked them up, it was clear they had been well cared for. There’s no doubt we’ll have Alex watch Sunny and Twigg again! Laura”
“Wonderful!! Responds promptly very friendly. Deann took excellent care of our boy could of not ask for a better sitter. She made us feel very comfortable gave updates during our trip. I would recommend her to everyone”
“Kelly is a great Rover! She was very communicative throughout the planning and stay. My pup had the best time and was very well taken care of. Definitely will be using Kelly in the future. Thanks a bunch!!”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
