“Ronald and his family are incredible. We left our dog Daisy for the very first time in his care this past week and she loved it there. My wife was very apprehensive, and that’s an understatement, about leaving Daisy with anyone. Ron sent us pictures and updates every day we were away and we could tell she was having a great time. His fenced in yard gave Daisy lots of room to run and play safely with the other dogs and is the perfect setup for dog sitting. Ronald loves dogs and knows how to care for them. We felt that he treated Daisy, not just as a dog to care for, but also as one of the family. You can tell dog sitting is a labor of love for Ronald and his family. After this trip we are booking Ronald to watch Daisy for 4 more trips we have planned this year. I totally recommend Ronald to anyone looking for a “home away from home” for your dog when you are traveling. Brian & Maggie”
“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.”
“Brad sent me lots of pictures of my pups having fun with Brad, his wife, and their two pups. I think they were having more fun than I was having while I was out of town. I recommend Brad and would definitely use him again!”
“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!”
“Alexander did an amazing job sitting our little Willow. She kept in contact with us as well as sent pictures of Willow throughout our vacation. Overall, we will definitely use Alexander for all our sitting needs in the future.”
“When I arrived to Stephanie’s home, I immediately felt a sense of comfort. Arlo didn’t hesitate to jump right into Stephanie’s arms. I knew in that moment that he would be fine. The pictures and cute messages truly made my day. Now that Arlo is home, it’s even more evident that Stephanie cared for him as if he were her own. I am extremely grateful.”
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.
“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.”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Kobe! She took great care of him and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which made it so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for he was. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Kobe and treated him like one of her own. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. I'll definitely book with her again!”
“Abby loved her 4-day stay!!! Especially getting to do her favorite thing, sunbathing in the yard. Communication was fantastic, and you can tell Laura truly does love dogs. Abby can be shy at first, but had no hesitation in getting immediate pets & love during our meet and greet. Abby is my angel, and I had no concerns when I dropped her off. I knew she was in good hands, and she was.”
“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!”
“Thanks to Jennifer and Matt, we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Frank was being well taken care and receiving lots of lovin'! This was our first time leaving Frank with a sitter and Jennifer and Matt immediately welcomed Frank which put my mind at ease. They are easy to work with and I appreciate that their communication was prompt.”
“1000% love that Roxie and Gizmo are so well taken care of with Deborah and Ron! And my pups look forward to going there, they know they are going before we even pull up!”
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!
“Jessica was awesome! She was very easy to communicate with, sending pictures and videos our our little pup. Being a puppy, we know he is a handful but she did a great job and we did not feel like he came home with bad habits. He had so much fun with her Golden and was definitely tired after the time there!!! Overall very pleased and definitely recommend to anyone who needs help!”
“We had another Rover booked that canceled a few days before our trip and Christine kindly agreed to watch my dogs at the last minute. She was great and very attentive and accommodating to my little dogs! I could tell they were happy and well cared for and loved getting picture updates each day. Thank you!”

“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.”
“I’m new to the area and was really nervous about leaving my four cats for a week, especially my senior cat who’s 15 and requires a little extra care and attention. Amy was fantastic from the start—professional, kind, and clearly a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know each of my cats and made me feel completely at ease. I received regular updates and photos, which really helped me relax while I was away. When I returned, everything was spotless and the cats were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Amy went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Madison was great to work with. She communicates well and reaches out and replies quickly. She was in constant contact while she was watching my babies and took great care of them. She is a true animal lover and picked up on their wants and needs based on what they were telling her!”
“Veronica made sure my cats were fed and safe while I was away on a weekend trip! She sent super cute photos and left great updates on their behavior! Will use her again in the future!”
“Natalia did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats, including making sure my 16 year old got his daily medicine. She shared pictures at each visit so I was able to see how they were doing. Many thanks!!”

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.
“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’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: I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats! I have had repeat clients and have helped family and friends with their pets on many occasions. I will always treat and love them as I would my own. I am a stay at home mom and I don’t go anywhere often, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! 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!
“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!”
“River loved playing with the dogs and loved all the humans. They have a big yard and great and often communication. Loved getting pictures and videos everyday. I would book her again”
About: I have taken care of dogs for more than 10 years.I usually watch my neighbors dogs and friends of families 🐕. I’ve also had my own dogs , they unfortunately passed in the last 2 years ; both of them. I’m missing having dogs around the house , so this will be prefect. I do not have a backyard but I have Martha rivers park about 2 minutes away from my apartment; and I would love to take them for a walk . I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am available all the time to play with puppy and give them everything they need . I would stick with what the owner of dog needs me to do but of course I would give them love and play with them. I would also make sure they get what they need (food,water,walks)
About: I will love and care for your babies almost as much as you do! For energetic babies, I am a very active person and will love to take them on frequent walks or runs and play with them until they tire out from all the fun. For older, less energetic pets, I will spend relaxing time pampering them. I have professionally dog sat for the past 6 years and have cared for many of my family pets for the past 12 years. 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: 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.

“Katie has always done a wonderful job taking care of Nym! Her dog Winston and Nym love playing with each other and I look forward to giving them many more play dates in the future.”
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.
“Always happy to see river. Gives updates and after daycare updates. Clear communication. I would use her again and have used her several times. I like that she has a big yard and a dog for River to play with.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have experience with dogs that need unique care. My own dog was deaf. I also regularly care for a dog that has quite a few allergies and requires regular attention. I’m very patient and love having animals around. Here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and safe! I currently work in a hybrid environment so I have a lot of time at home. My schedule can also be flexible and there is a green space nearby to ensure your dog has space to run. I’ve cared for pets in my home and others. I like to provide a safe comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while away from their families. Happy to take care of any pets with unique needs as well. Can administers medication and any special dietary requirements.
“Lauren was amazing! She took GREAT care of my Goldendoodle Tobi. I found her last minute and she was so accommodating! I can’t say enough good things about her! I will book with Lauren again and again! ❤️”

“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.”
“Natalia has been great with our two dogs! They are normally pretty anxious but have warmed right up to her!! She is on time, communicates well, and takes cute pictures of the boys :) We will definitely continue using her for future visits!”

About: I’ve had dogs before for many years. I have a long experience with caring after dogs! I have a picture on my profile of me walking one of the dogs I was caring after. I have had experience with training a young puppy. I gave a dog that I was caring after some medication that the owner had required. I would say that my patience is what sets me apart from others!

I will be carful when it come to cars or other animals , I won’t let them get to close to other dogs for the safety of them or other animals!
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!
“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!”

“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.

“Ronald and his family are incredible. We left our dog Daisy for the very first time in his care this past week and she loved it there. My wife was very apprehensive, and that’s an understatement, about leaving Daisy with anyone. Ron sent us pictures and updates every day we were away and we could tell she was having a great time. His fenced in yard gave Daisy lots of room to run and play safely with the other dogs and is the perfect setup for dog sitting. Ronald loves dogs and knows how to care for them. We felt that he treated Daisy, not just as a dog to care for, but also as one of the family. You can tell dog sitting is a labor of love for Ronald and his family. After this trip we are booking Ronald to watch Daisy for 4 more trips we have planned this year. I totally recommend Ronald to anyone looking for a “home away from home” for your dog when you are traveling. Brian & Maggie”
“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!”
“Alexander did an amazing job sitting our little Willow. She kept in contact with us as well as sent pictures of Willow throughout our vacation. Overall, we will definitely use Alexander for all our sitting needs in the future.”
“When I arrived to Stephanie’s home, I immediately felt a sense of comfort. Arlo didn’t hesitate to jump right into Stephanie’s arms. I knew in that moment that he would be fine. The pictures and cute messages truly made my day. Now that Arlo is home, it’s even more evident that Stephanie cared for him as if he were her own. I am extremely grateful.”
“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.”
“Abby loved her 4-day stay!!! Especially getting to do her favorite thing, sunbathing in the yard. Communication was fantastic, and you can tell Laura truly does love dogs. Abby can be shy at first, but had no hesitation in getting immediate pets & love during our meet and greet. Abby is my angel, and I had no concerns when I dropped her off. I knew she was in good hands, and she was.”
“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!”
“Thanks to Jennifer and Matt, we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Frank was being well taken care and receiving lots of lovin'! This was our first time leaving Frank with a sitter and Jennifer and Matt immediately welcomed Frank which put my mind at ease. They are easy to work with and I appreciate that their communication was prompt.”

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!
“Jessica was awesome! She was very easy to communicate with, sending pictures and videos our our little pup. Being a puppy, we know he is a handful but she did a great job and we did not feel like he came home with bad habits. He had so much fun with her Golden and was definitely tired after the time there!!! Overall very pleased and definitely recommend to anyone who needs help!”
“We had another Rover booked that canceled a few days before our trip and Christine kindly agreed to watch my dogs at the last minute. She was great and very attentive and accommodating to my little dogs! I could tell they were happy and well cared for and loved getting picture updates each day. Thank you!”
“Such a great experience having Nicholas and Sara watch our golden collie, Abby. They are reliable, responsible and mature. They provided lots of updates and photos which certainly calmed this overprotective, (a bit OCD) dog mom! Great sitters! I highly recommend them!”
“Isabella is an amazing sitter we love having her watch our doodle Mr.bean! He loves going and always comes back happy! Isabella is great at communicating and always sends pictures!”
