“Ron is the best! My pups love him. We love him too. I hate when he is not available but that is a testament to how good he is. Y'all stop hogging him lol. Thank you Ron for all you do.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“I can't say enough positive things about my and my pup's experience with Brad. 1. Booking/Communication - From the initial booking, Brad was communicative and responsive ensuring that I would feel comfortable even before I dropped my pup off. 2. Drop off - At drop-off, Brad was extremely attentive to understand the unique needs of my pup especially as it pertained to his medication. In my moving around, I forgot to bring something my pup needed. Brad was extremely helpful in getting it resolved so that my pup's stay would be just fine. Additionally, Brad went out of his way to ask how, and what frequency, I wanted to be updated on my pup's stay. 3. Stay - My pup had a fantastic time staying with Brad and having pup siblings at Brad's house. I'm confident of this not only because, true to his word, Brad was not only communicative about what was going on each day (for the entire ~3wk stay), but he also sent pictures and videos with funny notes! I could see that my dog was active not only outside but inside the home, was playing well with the other dogs, and was being loved and snuggled daily. 4. Pick-up - The day of pick-up, my flight was delayed impacting my ability to pick-up my pup on time. Brad was completely understanding and was communicative to ensure that I had no worries. When I arrived to pick up my pup, all of the things I sent with my pup came home in great condition AND Brad sent me home with a treat that he had graciously been giving my pup as well! I could tell my pup was excited to go home but was sad to leave Brad and his new friends! Overall, we will DEFINITELY use Brad again and recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pup like family when they have to go away. Thanks again, Brad!”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“We loved having Laura look after our Bodhi! She was very warm and receptive. Laura immediately connected with our Labrador Retriever and he never looked back as we were leaving him. She provided photos and updates about their time together and was flexible with pickup and drop off times. We won’t hesitate to call on Laura the next time we need pet sitting services.”
“Carrie took great care of our pit bull Sox in her home while we were out of town for a couple days! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos to assure us he was doing well. Her whole family gave him much love and treated him like their own. Will definitely be using her again!”
“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my pup for the very first time and Russell did an amazing job with her! I would highly recommend him for your pet’s care! She was very well taken care of and he played with her, took her on walks and made her feel right at home. She is a high energy dog and he did fantastic with her!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Cody. She sent pictures and videos daily and messages letting me know how he was doing. Cody hasn’t done well in boarding environments. On the way home from Jennifer’s he was calm and content. He also became buddies with her dog Milo. I will certainly be taking Cody back to Jennifer!”
“William did a great job caring for my pet. He was reliable, communicative, and made me feel comfortable knowing my pet was in good hands. I appreciated the updates and would definitely book with him again.”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Will never send our pup back to a boarding facility now that we have found her. She took such great care of our girl and sent updates with pictures every day, which is a huge plus. 10/10 recommended Stephanie and we will be using her in the future for every boarding need.”
“Had a wonderful experience with boarding. Oakley came home so exhausted. Will definately use again. They were very communicative through entire boarding with rapid responses and treated my baby as one of their own.”
“Krissa is fantastic! My crazy girl had the best time and was so well cared for during her stay. I received lots of pictures and communication throughout the week. I felt totally confident that my dog was in great hands the entire time. We will definitely be using Krissa again!”
“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“Biggie and our pack just moved cross-country and needed a last-minute sitter for him while we viewed some homes. Jennifer and Matthew were fantastic, and so kind. They promised to take care introducing him to their kids and another dog, kept communication open, and sent photos that showed how happy he was running and playing. As much as I missed him, I can tell he had a blast with them. We look forward to the next visit, thank you both for making our first Rover experience in NC such a good one.”
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
“Abby really enjoyed her time with Susan and her family and I felt completely comfortable that she was well taken care of. From the pictures and the videos we received it was clear Abby was getting the love and exercise she needs. Susan’s girls were so friendly and showered Abby with love and attention from the initial meet and greet. I would definitely ask Susan to sit for Abby in the future.”
“Great communication, could tell that they took care of my dog and were intentional! Would recommend them and would book again. I really don’t like leaving my dog but I had peace of mind knowing Luna was taken care of.”

“Madison keeps her availability up to date and responds to requests very quickly. I was very happy to use her services to check in on my two cats several times last week. I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were taken care of.”
“Melissa was so great with our kitties while we were out of town. She sent thorough updates and pictures with each visit. I could tell she actually played with them and enjoyed their craziness. Will definitely consider rebooking if needed.”
“The best person to take care of your fur babies! She has taken very great care of my 3 cats while I was away and even has gone above and beyond for me! I will be using Allison again very soon for dropping in to check on my cats. Thank you for treating them like your own!”
“Veronica was great with our 2 cats, who are semi-feral (brought in from outside). We were unsure of how they'd do with a stranger and it went more than smoothly. Veronica communicated well and got great pictures of both kids, who didn't skip a beat once we got home. They've remained well behaved and calm, and have adjusted very quickly after us being away. Veronica is professional and took very good care of our kids. Will book again next time we're in need.”

“Took excellent care of my two dogs even though it was a last minute request. They came back tired from all the fun they had, i would absolutely recommend and will definitely request again when im in town.”
About: I was a volunteer rescuer and foster home for several animal rescue organizations, I have cared for elderly animals as well as puppies, I know how to administer medications. I am available every day of the week, as well as in the evenings, I can take them for morning or afternoon walks, depending on the pet owner's preference. I don't have my own pets, I live in an apartment that does accept pets in a quiet neighborhood with green areas to walk peacefully.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I can remember. Many neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their lovely pets! I will adore them as if they were my own! I work a job that is remote throughout the week and I do find myself having a lot of extra time because of that. I have a pretty open schedule during the weekends so I’m very flexible and I’m willing to stay at your house or bring them over to interact with my own pet. I do have a fur baby of my own who is super friendly and loves everyone and anyone that will pay attention to him. “
“My Husky is so loved and well taken care of with Jennifer and Matthew. I work long days, and can trust that she's gotten all her zoomies out and is super happy when I pick her up. That's a huge relief for me knowing she gets her needs met while I'm working.”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines. I’m especially great with independent pets, seniors, shy animals, and anyone who needs a gentle, steady presence rather than chaos. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and calm. I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.

I typically provide potty breaks every 1-2 hours and will go on walks if requested, as long as it’s not too hot out. I have a large 2 story house and a fenced in area. I do have my 4 year old son and 5 year old girls at home until they go to school in August so your babies need to like kids! I have a cat, but she keeps to herself on the completely opposite side of my house from any other animals that come in. If going to someone else’s home, I will follow all instructions left for me, and take care of your home and pets as I do my own! 🩷

About: As a child and all throughout my adult years we always had animals in the house. They bring so much joy and comfort, often in times we didn’t know we needed it. I love all types of animals. I don’t mind any size or breed, they will all be loved the same. Leaving and trusting your pet with a stranger can often be scary, for both you and the pet. Which is why I make my visiting pets feel right at home by providing them with a large yard to run and play fetch, plenty of belly rubs and daily picture updates, leaving you with the comfort and security knowing your pet is being well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby!

I will keep you updated often and send you as many pictures and updates as you want on how your baby is enjoying their day! I am passionate about tending to your pet’s needs and wants and will care for them as my own.

About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 20 years. I have always used a very simple approach to dog sitting. A tired dog that is engaged is easy to take care of. My property has lots of things that will keep your dog curious and entertained. I have squirrels that run around in the trees and moles that leave chutes in the ground. Outside my fence you will often see rabbits, deer and the occasional opossum. Your dog will love the new smells and occasional sightings of these animals. For physical activity I have plenty of long stretches for play and ball chasing as well as some basic agility obstacles your dog may find interesting. My semi wooded lot has lots of sticks to chew on. Your pet will be included in walks around the neighborhood and my local park. Having recently retired from corporate America I am looking for things to keep me busy and make use of my love of pets and experience caring for them. I also recently lost my dog to cancer and while I am not quite ready to adopt a new dog I miss having one around. I do not have a 9-5 so except for the occasional errand I will be around for your pet full time. I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. I attach a tracking tag to the collar of every dog in my care as well as an extra layer of security. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have and rest assured you will not regret booking me for any of your pet needs. I am retired so with the exception of an errand I will be available to your pet full time. Pets are allowed on my furniture and bed. Please advise if this is a behavioral you are trying to discourage! Your pet will enjoy plenty of time outside and walks around my neighborhood and local park. I have a fenced in wooded acre. Your pet will be given free range of my home, but I will crate or contain them when I am away for their protection. I currently have no pets so your dog will receive my full attention.

“Sarah is incredibly kind and accommodating. We initially had a meet-and-greet as Sunny can be shy and wary of new environments but in this case, she was taken with Sarah right away. Sarah was very understanding of Sunny’s medical condition and was super attentive and encouraging with her, and I appreciated how she took great care to make Sunny feel comfortable and safe. I loved that Sarah communicated throughout the day and provided quality photos and video of how Sunny was doing. One other huge plus was the amount of outdoor space she had available to sniff and roam. We’ll definitely be back and I would highly recommend her services!”

“I was incredibly lucky to find Madison to help walk my dog while I recovered from surgery. I could not have asked for a more caring, dependable dog walker. Madison showed up every day for two months, on time, happy and ready to go. My dog Olive absolutely adores her. I do not know what I would have done without her. Highly, highly recommend her services.”

“Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!”

We all know it isn't fun to leave them, but I am here to ease your mind! I will make sure your pet is at ease while their human is gone! I can't replace you, but I will make it more bearable! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet! I can make time for morning, midday (depending on location) and evening potty breaks! I will come to your house so that your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own home. Unless you request that I bring them into my house, I usually like to keep them in their normal routine and place!
“Maria was great she communicated and sent pictures that helped a lot since this was my first time using this type of service for these babies. I used one years ago but had a different dog and didn’t know how my sweet babies would respond but they did great. I just always worry if the new person will be patient with my babies and she definitely was so that helped.”

About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break and am in between Chapel Hill and Gastonia! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and Gastonia and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!
About: Hi, I’m Lona! 🐾 I’m an animal lover currently in a veterinary assistant program with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 💕 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m available and committed to meeting your pet’s needs. I love staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine — it helps keep me moving and gives me a chance to bond with your pet. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9-to-5 schedule, I can easily adapt to last-minute requests, extended stays, or custom routines that work best for you and your furry friend. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in the client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and preferences, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule and make them feel secure and loved.

“Liz and her husband are wonderful! I was nervous about having a stranger come to let my dog out since she can be a bit wild at times. But Liz and Burton both were so great with her and put all my worries to rest! They are so helpful and make sure Charlie gets all the love and care she needs during the visit! You definitely don’t need to be worried about a thing if you book them!”

About: Hi, I have a lot of experience taking care of pets. I have a family dog in Minnesota that I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I trained him to signal when he needs to go outside by sitting near the door and have walked him year-round, even through cold Minnesota winters. So if it’s chilly here in the South, I’m still happy to take your dog for a walk! I also have my own cat, Kakashi (KK for short), who I’ve cared for for over a year. Between raising my dog and caring for my cat, I’ve gained years of experience with both dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I work full-time Monday through Friday (8 a.m.–5 p.m.), so I’m mainly available in the evenings after 5 and on the weekends (Saturdays after 11 A.M and Sunday after 12 P.M) I live in a gated, pet-friendly apartment community. My apartment is very open and spacious, giving pets plenty of room to play and relax. The neighborhood has safe sidewalks and walking paths—perfect for daily walks. If I’m caring for a cat, I can easily separate them from my own cat, Kakashi (KK), and slowly help them warm up to each other if needed. It’s a calm, clean, and comfortable space where your pet will feel at home.
“Sarah was excellent with my very hyperactive dog! She made sure to follow my instructions and my girl had a great time on their walks together! She even left a sweet note for us to come home to. Highly recommend!”

“Ron is the best! My pups love him. We love him too. I hate when he is not available but that is a testament to how good he is. Y'all stop hogging him lol. Thank you Ron for all you do.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“We loved having Laura look after our Bodhi! She was very warm and receptive. Laura immediately connected with our Labrador Retriever and he never looked back as we were leaving him. She provided photos and updates about their time together and was flexible with pickup and drop off times. We won’t hesitate to call on Laura the next time we need pet sitting services.”

“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“Biggie and our pack just moved cross-country and needed a last-minute sitter for him while we viewed some homes. Jennifer and Matthew were fantastic, and so kind. They promised to take care introducing him to their kids and another dog, kept communication open, and sent photos that showed how happy he was running and playing. As much as I missed him, I can tell he had a blast with them. We look forward to the next visit, thank you both for making our first Rover experience in NC such a good one.”
“Abby really enjoyed her time with Susan and her family and I felt completely comfortable that she was well taken care of. From the pictures and the videos we received it was clear Abby was getting the love and exercise she needs. Susan’s girls were so friendly and showered Abby with love and attention from the initial meet and greet. I would definitely ask Susan to sit for Abby in the future.”
“Great communication, could tell that they took care of my dog and were intentional! Would recommend them and would book again. I really don’t like leaving my dog but I had peace of mind knowing Luna was taken care of.”
About: Hi! We’ve had several dogs in our life, and currently have our own, we’ve pet sit for friends and family for a couple years and figured we would open our home. We’ve had puppies all the way through seniors! Currently a stay at home parent so lots of loving on our dogs throughout the day. I’m up early each day and enjoy being able to spend it slow and following our routine. We love going on walks in our neighborhood and even have a dog park available close by! I have 4 dogs at home already but also a fenced in yard. We never leave dogs outside unattended either, that way we can keep a close eye on them and give them any and everything they need. I’m also available to drop-ins for other houses and walks if close by!

“Amelia and Grant were absolutely awesome! From the moment I dropped off my dog Anna, I could tell she was in great hands. They were warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Anna looked so happy and comfortable in every update they sent, and she came home relaxed and well cared for. It's such a relief to know she's in such loving hands when I'm away. Highly recommend Amelia and Grant – we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“What an amazing experience! Georgeann and her family were so kind and patient with my crazy girl. She got more love and attention than she gets at home! I received constant communication and could tell my dog was genuinely loved during her stay. I can’t think of a single thing they could improve on.”
