“Excellent experience with Jennifer. Took my pup in on short notice and was extremely flexible for drop off and pick up. Sent pictures and kept us updated on how things were going. Will definitely use again!”
“Heather is great! This was the first time I had left my babies with someone different and I was a nervous mama, but Heather did send me photos every day of my babies. If you are looking for a well qualified sitter, book it with Heather.”
“My pups, one elderly and one young and rambunctious spent 9 nights while I was in Europe. My babies are treated like family, lots of pics and updates. I never have to worry when they stay with Lucia and Rob.”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“Mary was fantastic! I needed her last min for a long trip. My dogs can be a handful and Mary was extremely accommodating. She made my kids feel at home and she sent pics and updates that made my time away from them easier. My trip ended early and Mary offered to go above and beyond because of the circumstances. My kiddos came home tired and happy! Thank you!”
“Melanie was very nice and she did a great job with our dog Star who was very much at home with her!! She messaged us every day and sent us some great pictures of Star!!! It is a great feeling when you are away to know that your dog is well cared for. We would definitely bring Star back to Melanie if we need a dog sitter.”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”
“Jacki was an awesome Rover. She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and gave Remi plenty of exercise. Jacki is easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Rover!”
About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away! My wife and I recently made the move to Southern Pines from Florida and have been enjoying getting to know the community—especially its many pets! I believe good pet care starts with clear expectations, happy routines, and making sure every member of the household—furred, feathered, scaled, or leafy—feels safe and well looked after. I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!
About: I’m a loving pet owner with a dog of my own, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals. I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! I work full-time, but I’m home a lot and have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to keeping up with walks, playtime, and feeding. I’m also home on weekends, making it easy to hangout with the pups! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I love going on walks! I also have a friendly dog who loves having friends to play with.

“Tori is AWESOME! She walks my puppy weekly and recently checked on my cat while I was out of town. She sends pictures and provides updates about the visits, which give me so much peace of mind. My pets adore her and I’m so glad we connected through Rover!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful while watching over my three cats, Ponyo, Beaux, and Niko during my trip to Texas. She had great communication the entire time, was always prompt, and made sure they were fed, played with, and that the litter boxes stayed clean. She was very friendly, easy to talk to, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cats in her care. It was also really reassuring to read about her education and background with animals, especially since Beaux is a senior kitty that I naturally worry about whenever I travel. It was great meeting her, and I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone needing pet care help. She genuinely gave me peace of mind while I was away. 💜”
“Mary took excellent care of my cat while I was gone. She is friendly, attentive, and made sure she understood the care and medications my cat needs. Her drop-ins were on-time, and her updates and pictures were outstanding. I'm glad to have been able to hire her for regular bookings, and I highly recommend her!”
“Meghan helped watch my two babies last minute and texted me constant updates with pictures included. I will definitely be using her again for all my out of town travel and will feel 100% comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“I can't say enough good things about Emerald! She gave Carter wonderful care, paying close attention to his behavior to ensure he was happy and comfortable. She sent us pictures everyday which gave me total peace of mind, and Carter came home happy as can be. She is truly exceptional!! 🐾”
About: I have years of experience caring for cats and am comfortable with everything from social, playful cats to shy or independent ones who prefer their space. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medications, playtime, and plenty of attention when wanted! I understand that cats have their own routines and personalities, and I’m happy to care for them in whatever way makes them feel most comfortable while you’re away.
“Kelly is amazing with our kitties! She spent a ton of time with them, took lots of pictures, and provided us detailed updates each feeding. From our meet and greet, she was punctual, friendly, and attentive. I felt very comfortable and confident in her abilities to care for our high maintenance meows and highly recommend!”
“Alyson was a great sitter, I’m so glad I was able to find her. She sent many photos, which was amazing as I missed my sweet kitty very much. Her notes were also very thorough, which was greatly appreciated too!”
“Alanna is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my two kitties this past weekend. I loved the picture updates and little stories of how and what they were doing! One of my kitties was shy at first but warmed up to her very quickly. I’ll be booking her again soon! Thank you Alanna :D”
“Izzy was awesome! She was incredibly thorough in her care of our cats. Other sitters in the past have just fed them, cleaned their litter box, and left. Izzy actually stayed, played with the cats, gave them treats, and lots of extra love while we were gone. Highly recommend her! We will be using her again!”
“We truly appreciate Tawny for checking in on our fur babies. We are even more grateful she was able to take a last minute booking. Thank you and we highly recommended Tawny.”
“Hannah did such a great job looking after our kitty! We have an indoor cat who likes to sit on the porch during summers and Hannah brought Anna-Murph outside every day to give her air/bird-watching time. We trusted Hannah in our house while away for vacation and she was incredibly respectful of not only our kitty but also our home. Hope to use her again in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have experience with all types of animals. Cats are one of my favorite due to each one's distinct personality and attitude. I have experience with kittens , adult cats and senior cats who may need a little more time and attention.
“Ann is the best! She is a wonderful communicator, even with some of my last minute chaotic requests! She takes such great care of my cat. I am so thankful for her and trust her whole heartedly!”
“If you want peace of mind for your pets while you are away, Holly will give you that!! She is wonderful. We loved getting the daily updates and photos/videos. The kitties were comfortable with Holly. She made them feel loved and well taken care of. She even went out of her way to bring in our house Amazon boxes that were delivered. We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!”

“Lucia is, by far, the best dog sitter we have ever trusted our dog with. She’s incredibly attentive and flexible with our schedule, and our dog loves seeing her every time we drop him off. She is amazing, and we would give her 10 stars if we could! Thank you Lucia!”
“I am in town for a wedding, and my dog was too stressed to stay in the hotel while I was gone. Desiree was a life saver by taking my dog at the last minute for doggy daycare! I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing my dog was having fun with other people and other dogs, and I picked up a happy and tired pup 😀 If I ever find myself back in the area, I would 100% ask Desiree to watch my dog again. Thanks!!!”
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Jacki was incredible! She kept our pups routine and took him on lots of walks. She also was very prompt with communicating and kindly adapted when we had a slight shift in schedule. She also uploaded great photos at the end of everyday. Our pup loved her! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am 36 years old and I have had animals my whole life growing up of all different sizes. I love all animals like they are my own. I am a dog owner myself so I can pick up on certain behaviors. I am able to give them medication my dog has allergies and I give him medicine daily. I am prior military with an active security clearance so you can trust me with your home and your beloved family member(dog). They will be well taken care of and have a great time in my care. Animals love unconditionally which is why I love them so dearly. I look forward to meeting your fuzzy four legged companion. I am available at my home nights and weekends. During the day I will come home at lunch to take the dogs outside. They won’t go longer than 4 hours. I will treat your pet like my own. Which is like a king. My dog sleeps in bed with me or on the couch under blankets. Wherever they are most comfortable.
About: I survived teaching first and second grade for over 35 years so I can do anything! I am a new grandma and I’m so excited! I have two sweet pups who love having news friends come over and play. I am very flexible and I am very willing to get the work done with your pup or puppies! I will do whatever it takes to make it work. Although I don’t have a fenced in yard I will make sure they are on a leash if needed when going out to do their business. I love to walk multiple times a day so you can be assured they will get lots of attention and exercise.
About: Like everyone else on this app, I love dogs, and grew up with German Shepherds However, I started on the rover app because I wanted to provide something I thought was missing… reliable pet care for high energy and athletic dogs. I travel a lot and the last thing I want to worry about is if my 70 pound GSD is wearing out the kind old lady I left her with because that’s who was available. Rest assured, if you leave your dog with me for work or for play, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Need daily runs or multiple walks a day? Good. We run every day. Need yard play time? Not a problem. Extra belly rubs? Easy. Is your Dog a couch potato? I have a couch and have happy to give rubs and chill out. The point is, weather for a week or a weekend, if you leave your dog with me, you can focus on where ever your travels are taking you. I have a pretty demanding full time job. I’m only available for boarding in my home. If I’m home, your dog has 100% of my focus. I have a very well trained and very social GSD and a large fenced in yard. I also have rooms I can fence off to give your dog some space. I’m happy to play fetch, take multiple walks, and daily runs if needed.
About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!
“Jennifer and her fur babies were very welcoming. My little Lupe was a little shy initially but Jennifer helped her feel right at home. This is the first time that Lupe stays somewhere without her brother and I think I was more stressed about it than she was. Jennifer sent me pictures of Lulu having a good time and it immediately calmed me down. Thank you Jennifer!”
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.
About: Hi, I’m Izzy – an educator and lifelong animal lover! I grew up with cats and dogs and now have two sweet, friendly pups of my own. I’ve worked at a dog grooming salon, cared for pets over school breaks, and love providing reliable care when pet parents need a helping hand. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a mellow homebody, I’ll adapt to their needs and give them all the love they deserve. I’m happy to provide references from other families I've worked with! I look forward to connecting soon. I work remotely as a teacher so I am available during the week and on weekends! I am happy to come to your house for drop in visits or walks. I also do offer doggy daycare in my home for one dog a day. I have two dogs of my own who love to have visitors. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs both in my home and in their own familiar space. I always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make sure they feel secure. I have two friendly, crate-trained dogs who love making new friends, and my home is pet-safe and well set up for boarding or drop-ins. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so you feel totally at ease!
“Once again, Kristin did not disappoint! She stays so connected with me as a new puppy owner. And she can handle unexpected changes with no problem. I had an appointment that ran late, and she was kind enough to understand and work around it seamlessly. Better yet, my pup gets so excited to see Miss Kristen!!!”
“Tatyana took excellent care of our Rowdy. He was very nervous as we were on a vacation trip to see relatives. When we handed him over to Tatyana for an evening out, he was immediately calm with her. She sent several pictures showing he was doing fine. He even took a nap. She was loving and I would highly recommend her.”
“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”
“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Nikki has been fantastic watching Frankie! She has plenty of other dogs for her to play with and she knows dogs really well so I trust her completely! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have daycare or additional training for their dogs.”

“Melissa has been taking very good care of my pug and goes above and beyond in what she does. I feel safe with her walking my dog and entering and exiting my home. I couldn't reccomend her enough.”
“Such a relief finding such a great sitter! We know our dog is in good hands getting exercise, play time, and socialization- and always detailed notes and pictures how the day was. Found our go-to!”
About: I've had dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish since I was a kid. My family also boarded/walked dogs for a while on here before. I'm very flexible so I can pretty much make anything work. I do some Uber eats as well. Not sure why it's making me put THIS many words here but it's required. I am very careful and caring for my own that I've had over the years. Right now I personally have an iguana that has a lot of particular care needs. And so I understand that everyone else wants their animals to be treated with that same amount of intention.
“Emerald was so wonderful with my pup. She was great at communicating, so friendly, and sent lots of pictures! I will definitely be asking her to walk my dog again!!”
“Tara was so sweet and professional during our meet and greet! Luna loved her from the start! She was very flexible with my schedule and gave me very detailed updates on how my girl was doing during her walk and sent great pictures of her having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for animals! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and needs, from energetic pets who want lots of playtime and walks to more reserved pets who need patience and time to warm up. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, medications, and other needs that are part of your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own. I work full-time, primarily during evening and nighttime hours, which gives me plenty of daytime availability for pet care! My work schedule varies from week to week, so I often have weekdays and daytime hours available when many pet owners are at work. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and am happy to work with you to find visit or walk times that fit your pet’s normal routine. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for multiple drop-ins, walks, and pets who may need a little extra attention. Feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need—even with my unconventional schedule, I may be available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Chrissy went above and beyond for my two dogs. She was very sweet and the pups loved her as soon as they met her! Chrissy was very quick to respond and gave me detailed updates along with pictures. There were times when I didn’t have cell service and something came up, she handled it perfectly. If you need to leave your pets with someone, I’d highly recommend booking with her. 🙂”
About: **Unfortunately due to the app taking 20% of my pay, I’ve had to increase my pricing. Happy to work around this and discuss further** I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. From reptiles, small animals, cats and dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.
About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always been an animal lover. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats and small animal care. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies when needed. I also have experience with pet medication schedules, special diets and senior animals. I am a nurse and currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to meet your pets needs. I am a nurse an currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I am an early bird so early morning visits/walks are no problem at all. I am available Monday - Friday and most weekends. My fur babies are my kids and I treat every furry face I meet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep a consistent routine for your pets that allow them to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience in medication administration schedules, special diets, exercise routines for any fur babies that may have physical challenges or disadvantages. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained while you're away to allow you to feel confident that your pets are well cared for in your absence.
About: I have very flexible hours and love taking care of pets with walks and lots of cuddles. I own two dogs and a cat that have very lovely lifestyles. Pet sitting works into my schedule because I am retired, and have a part time job working from home. I am up very early every day and am willing to sit with pets for awhile and also walk them. I care for my own pets daily. I am sure that when I leave a home after a drop in that the area is clean and safe for the pet.
“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”
“Lucia was outstanding giving Colt an excellent walk every morning during the last two weeks of 2023 leading up to Christmas and New Years when many other dog walkers including the other two ladies who help me with Colt were out of town visiting family members and were unavailable for dog walking and any other services. I was so relieved when Lucia said “yes” to my request to walk Colt the last 14 days of this year consecutively especially since I have been recovering from the flu and sprained ankle injuries this fall. Before I found Lucia several other dog walkers did not respond to my request I’m sure because they had plans for the holidays. Lucia was even willing to come on Christmas morning which really impressed me. Not many other dog walkers are available or interested in helping out during the holidays because they have so many big plans of their own. I will definitely contact Lucia again anytime my other two dog walkers are unavailable or going out of town etc. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker and she provided very friendly courteous service and she gave me an excellent report on Colt’s status every day. He really bonded with her quickly and I could tell how much he enjoyed spending time with her the last couple of weeks!! I hope that they will get to walk with each other again real soon!”
About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have a dog of my own now. I’m an experienced pet sitter and have watched multiple friend’s dogs before as well as my parent’s special needs elderly dachshund/lab mix who needed extra care and attention. I also volunteer at a local dog rescue. I love all dogs and feel like I have a special bond with them! My own dog, Remy, has some separation anxiety so I know how important it is to have a communicative dog sitter you can trust. I work from home and ensure that I have time in my schedule to give my own dog and the dogs I watch the needed attention and exercise. I have a flexible schedule and can take them on multiple walks a day if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I am diligent about taking your dog out and live in a great neighborhood to walk dogs! I don’t crate my dog but I am happy to do it if that is best for your dog. My dog, Remy, is only 8 pounds so I can only accept dogs that do well with smaller dogs. Remy does well with other dogs. He goes to other Rovers who have dogs and goes to day care occasionally. He’s a little shy so it takes a little bit to warm up but he always ends up making a friend.
About: Hi! My name is Catalina and can't wait to take care of your four-legged best friend! I have been taking care of dogs (both my own and other peoples') since I was 10. I am a very active person and I would be honored to walk or dog-sit your dog! I understand each dog is unique and I take the time to get to know them and understand what makes each one happy. I am willing to take them on a run, play fetch or simply take them on a nice, long walk and of course, pamper them with love. There is no greater happiness for me than being with dogs and playing with them. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need more information.

“Kona had another great weekend with Alex- lots of exercise and love and attention! Alex keeps me posted every day with pics and updates. I always know Kona is getting the best care!”
“Annie was very cooperative in planning for Sadie’s stay with her. We loved receiving the updates and pictures while we were gone. We will keep her in mind in the future as we have the need.”
“Loving home and family environment. Taz can be anxious, but settled in right away. We appreciated all the wonderful pictures and enjoyed seeing him with the family "furry babies" 💕”
“Heather is great! This was the first time I had left my babies with someone different and I was a nervous mama, but Heather did send me photos every day of my babies. If you are looking for a well qualified sitter, book it with Heather.”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“Mary was fantastic! I needed her last min for a long trip. My dogs can be a handful and Mary was extremely accommodating. She made my kids feel at home and she sent pics and updates that made my time away from them easier. My trip ended early and Mary offered to go above and beyond because of the circumstances. My kiddos came home tired and happy! Thank you!”
“Melanie was very nice and she did a great job with our dog Star who was very much at home with her!! She messaged us every day and sent us some great pictures of Star!!! It is a great feeling when you are away to know that your dog is well cared for. We would definitely bring Star back to Melanie if we need a dog sitter.”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”
“Jacki was an awesome Rover. She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and gave Remi plenty of exercise. Jacki is easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Rover!”
About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away! My wife and I recently made the move to Southern Pines from Florida and have been enjoying getting to know the community—especially its many pets! I believe good pet care starts with clear expectations, happy routines, and making sure every member of the household—furred, feathered, scaled, or leafy—feels safe and well looked after. I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!
About: I’m a loving pet owner with a dog of my own, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals. I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! I work full-time, but I’m home a lot and have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to keeping up with walks, playtime, and feeding. I’m also home on weekends, making it easy to hangout with the pups! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I love going on walks! I also have a friendly dog who loves having friends to play with.
“I am extremely happy I found Ana on Rover. Not only was she patient and loving toward my little senior fur baby, but she also provided updates to include pictures of my fur baby's progress during her stay. I am forever grateful for the care, and attention Ana provided to my sweet little fur baby while she was in her care. Thank you so much Ana!”
“Our dog was so well cared for and given so much love and attention! We had peace of mind during our travels knowing that our dog was happy with such a wonderful family!”
About: Like everyone else on this app, I love dogs, and grew up with German Shepherds However, I started on the rover app because I wanted to provide something I thought was missing… reliable pet care for high energy and athletic dogs. I travel a lot and the last thing I want to worry about is if my 70 pound GSD is wearing out the kind old lady I left her with because that’s who was available. Rest assured, if you leave your dog with me for work or for play, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Need daily runs or multiple walks a day? Good. We run every day. Need yard play time? Not a problem. Extra belly rubs? Easy. Is your Dog a couch potato? I have a couch and have happy to give rubs and chill out. The point is, weather for a week or a weekend, if you leave your dog with me, you can focus on where ever your travels are taking you. I have a pretty demanding full time job. I’m only available for boarding in my home. If I’m home, your dog has 100% of my focus. I have a very well trained and very social GSD and a large fenced in yard. I also have rooms I can fence off to give your dog some space. I’m happy to play fetch, take multiple walks, and daily runs if needed.
