“I couldn't be happier with the care my two older dogs received! Amanda was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. My dogs both require medications and she administered them with no issues. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Finn and Skye came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with my dog when I travel. Her children also were helpful and played with my dogs while in her care. They sent the dogs home with the cutest hand-drawn pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Marilyn did an amazing job with my dog. She kept me updated through out the entire time. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own look no further. She treated my dog so well, I was scared he wouldn’t want to come home. She is wonderful and will make sure your fur baby is well taken care of.”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“I have to admit, I had never used rover it was last minute. My usual boarders we're full, but i came across Valerie and her profile made me take that chance. Im so glad i did she was amazing! She sent pics everyday, she made my trip more relaxed and i was at ease. I will use her services again my dogs loved her.”
“David was great! He sent us pictures every day we were gone and was responsive when we reached out. I really appreciated that he was sensitive to learning Olive’s needs and catering the environment around her. She was a curious introvert while there, wanting to observe and interact in a limited way with the other dogs but also wanting her own space (she’s an old lady) and he made sure to honor her curiosity while giving her time to herself.”
“Camila and Lino were great host, they took very good care of our dog while we were away. They communicated through out the stay and were very understanding and sweet.”
“Went above and beyond. Very caring and conscientious. Great communication. Sent a lot of pictures. We knew our dog was in very good hands. Would definitely use again.”
“Romel and Carolina were amazing. They gave timely updates and Anchovy looked to be having a blast. They were very responsive and I appreciate the time and care they put into Anchovy’s stay.”
“They took good care of my dog and he got walks and cuddles! I love pics and that helped a lot, and he also got along great with their dog so also a relief!”
“Sharon took such good care of our pup who is very needy for love and attention. I could see she was happy in pictures and videos Sharon shared as well as when we picked her up. We have already booked her next stay with Sharon. Thank you for your loving attention Sharon”
“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”
“My dogs had such a great time and were very well cared for. They were so tired when they came home! She sent regular updates and some great pictures and videos. A fantastic stay!”
“Elizabeth took the best care of our dog, Millie! We got frequent updates through her stay and could tell that she was getting a lot of love, attention and having the best time while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with Millie under Elizabeth’s watch! 1000/10 rating!”
About: Hey hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and would enjoy to meet new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer, rising senior at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.

“Excellent. Desiree is very dependable. She's also great with communication and pics and updates:) She also was really helpful recently when a large loose dog got into our yard - one of my male friends was scared of this dog but Desiree skillfully got the dog back outside our fence with no issues.”
“My kitties and I loved Teresa! I had to go out of town last minute and was pretty stressed about finding a sitter and I was able to book Teresa within minutes. She was incredibly prompt with all her responses which I hugely appreciated. I hadn’t used Rover before and she made the entire experience easy and comfortable, I felt totally at ease knowing she was watching my cats!”

“Hayley is the epitome of a great dog sitter. I have 2 difficult pups and from the moment she walked up she went above and beyond to gain their trust. She is very communicative. Sending lots of pics and updating me on when she got there, what the pups did and when she was headed out. Definitely will be using her for drop ins and overnight stays!”
“Marissa was wonderful pet sitter. My cat is very shy but she was able to build trust with him. I was very pleased that my cat was in the care of someone so warm and responsive.”
“Kim was fabulous! She did drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town for 10 days and it was such a relief to have her. We will definitely book with her in the future!”

Our own furry family includes a longhair Chihuahua we rescued as a pup, a Chow-Chow mix rescued from the woods, and two gentle Great Pyrenees who serve as our lovable outdoor guardians.

I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
“Melissa was wonderful. Her calm sweet energy, and quick availability made us feel very comfortable. Great communication, cute pictures, and friendly updates. Our little guy loved her and we look fwd to booking with her again in the near future.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job, again, pet sitting for our kitty cat Bean while we visited family for Christmas. She was attentive and on time, sending photos and great updates covering her stop ins. We are so happy Bean was in such good hands and we look forward to using Ashley again when we go away next! Thank you Ashley!”
About: My fur babies are my heart! I take the time to actually get to know my babies so they aren’t nervous & so WE both are comfortable with each other! I want my fur babies comfortable and no where near stressed when visiting! I focus on making sure everyone is comfortable so we all can have a great time! I love showing my babies TLC and spending more than enough time with my babies so they are comfortable! I love animals so spending time with them and giving them extra tlc is my specialty. I am a bather at a grooming shop! I have my animal science certification from south Granville highschool where I completed both large and small animal science. I wash and cutt nails and clean ears for (dogs)! I can help with small things if needed during the visits! I currently work at a store and grooming shop!

(Chihuahua, shitzu, pitbull, German shepherd)My inside dogs are trained to not use the bathroom in the house, have full access to water and food as they please, so I have experience with big and small dogs. I make sure my babies have jackets or boots on depending on the weather outside! Their Paws are very sensitive so I think about small things like that!
About: I have always had cats and they have always had my ❤️. I’ve never minded the smell of wet food or even cleaning litter boxes in the name of taking care of a cat. I have also had a couple cats that have needed special care in their older years and am comfortable administering medicine topically, orally and have even given medicine via shots before.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stem
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!
“David is an amazing person and host! Houston had the best time with him and his family. David went the extra mile by taking him to a local farm where Houston had the time of his life. We will definitely book with David again!”
“David is awesome! He was so sweet with my pup, and followed instructions well. He made sure that she got plenty of play time, updated me with pics, and even gave me updates on her socialization with the other pups! David has a huge fenced in yard, so it was great that my pup was able to run around!”
“Charles is truly a dog person! He takes the time to get to know them and rolls with the punches (or should I say barks, especially in my dogs case!).

I highly recommend Charles and Wag N wheels. Great people and great facility!”
“Bryan was great with my two dogs! We used Bryan for our English Mastiff and Boston Terrier, and he provided frequent updates, pictures, and prompt responses. I felt at ease, and my dogs appeared to be happy and content when we picked them up! We will definitely use him again if the services are needed! Thank you, Bryan!”

About: **PLEASE RESPOND IN TIMELY MANNER AFTER RECEIVE REPLY TO REQUEST. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. 🙏🏾** I've taken care of family and friends' dogs since 2010, starting in Charlotte, NC. Longest I've kept one dog is for 2 weeks. I love taking care of dogs as if they were my own. Currently live in Durham, NC in my childhood home. I work from home, so I'm the perfect sitter that can entertain your dog while you're at work, away on vacay/trip, or just need some me time. I am a patient person and do have experience training a couple of dogs from not fearing their crate, knowing boundaries within house, and cease whining. I work from home Monday-Friday from 8-4:30 pm. I occasionally have appts and other events on the weekends, including attending church worship service. I'm at home the majority of the time. I have a pretty open concept in my house, but I close off doors to bedrooms and bathroom. I sometimes close off my hallway to keep in a secluded place in case of visitors or go to sleep at night. I take dogs out on leash, I currently do not have a fenced yard. I spend quality time with them and engage often and show plenty of love.
About: Have had at least 1 pet for over 25 years. Wife and I are recent empty nesters that went from having 4 cats and 2 dogs to a Lab and 1 cat when the last of our 4 kids moved out.

We have a dog park for them to play at our place. Our Labrador Bailey will be put in crate until they get acquainted if needed. Bailey is friendly as can be, however I know animals can get nervous in new environments.

We try to maintain and provide care as close to wider the animal is used to in a daily basis in order to minimize any stress.
“Chelsea and David were amazing! When I picked up my pup, she was happy and tuckered out! I would definitely bring my girl back to them when I come back into town. Can't recommend enough!”
“My pup very much enjoyed her stay with Annchen for doggy day care! They went on long walks and played fetch and my dog came home happy and the next day was excited for another adventure. Annchen looked after my yellow lab for a few days when our normal dog care was away on holiday. It worked out great! She was very easy to work with and accommodating of schedule changes and some special circumstances. She was excellent with my dog and I look forward to working with her in the future for boarding or doggy day care.”
“Had to find someone super last minute, and Lorraine was very responsive and great at communicating! Nairobi, my cockapoo, had a very pleasant experience, and I will definitely be a repeat customer! Highly recommend for anyone considering!”

About: I’m a licensed attorney and an animal lover at heart. I grew up surrounded by animals, in a home with a dog and four cats. I frequently care for my neighbor and friends’ pets when they are out of town, and have two cats of my own. I also have 3 years of volunteer experience at a no-kill animal shelter, and am comfortable giving medications and handling any special health or behavioral needs. I have experience caring for dogs that require frequent potty breaks due to age or medical condition; as well as those with Arthritis, recovering injuries, or other mobility concerns. Similarly, I have cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical vulnerabilities (seizures, kidney disease, cancer, incontinence issues). I have also worked with former ferals, and am happy to care for those who may be especially shy or anxious around unfamiliar faces and disrupted routines. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust look after your pet. I value reliability and communication, and strive to provide the upmost care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work fully remote, so I have plenty of flexibility when caring for your pets. I update my calendar frequently, and am happy to work with your schedule. During housesits, I will make your home my base camp so pets will not be left alone for extended periods. I will be sure to communicate with you to ensure your expectations for drop in visits or house sitting are fully met. I’m here for any special care requests. I’ll check in after each drop-in session with plenty of photos of your pet and a rundown on the visit. I typically provide two updates mid-morning and evening each day while house sitting. I always include detailed information about your pet’s activity and behavior, along with lots of photos and videos documenting the day. However, I am happy to provide updates at your preferred frequency. I am always available and responsive during visits should you have any questions or requests.
About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I offer dog sitting in my safe and welcoming home in Oxford, NC, where your pup will get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise.

I’m able to accommodate pets close to my area easily and make their care a priority while keeping a consistent, calm, and loving environment. Providing a safe environment for pets is very important to me. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise while always being supervised and monitored closely. Inside my home, I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and routines to make sure they stay happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes (as well as cats) since high school. I have two cats of my own, and grew up with (big) dogs. I’m very comfortable with both overnight stays and drop-in care. I also have lots of experience with multi-pet homes. I’m currently working part-time in the summer, and will be taking college classes starting in September. I’m always free to drop in for mealtimes and walks, and either in the morning or evening can provide more in-depth attention. I am only able to work in clients homes, where I can adapt to any environment necessary, from long walks to backyard play to crate training.
“Marissa did a great job with my crazy golden retriever, Huck! She was very prompt and did a great job with him despite the fact that he can be a bit of a puller. She was very accommodating and willing to take him on a jog because he has so much energy!”
“Banjo LOVES his afternoon walks with Ashley! She picks him up and takes him for a walk around the neighborhood. He gets his exercise and gets to check out the neighborhood. We love using Rover and Ashley while we're at work. She sends us photos from their walks and Banjo's excited face says it all!”
“Brandon has been an incredible dog walker, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is consistently reliable, always on time, and extremely communicative, which gives us great peace of mind. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and we always know our pup is in great hands. Brandon's professionalism and dependability make him truly exceptional. We are so grateful to have found him!”
About: I am the youngest child so my parents let me have pets :) from goldfish to gerbils to my beloved child hood yellow lab Wilson I had lots of furry friend growing up. I owned and loved rabbits cats and dogs in my adulthood. We are a responsible couple ready to make sure your pets are well cared for. Ricky has a flexible schedule as a full time gig worker. I work as an admin on a hybrid schedule. I love spending time outside with my 8 yr old male 35 lb terrier mutt pup. You tell me what your best friend needs and I’ll make it happen!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs of all kinds and ages. Senior and puppy/kitten pet care are part of my experience. From long walks, to fun games, to specialty foods and injury recovery, I’ve seen and done it all. Your pets will be well loved and cared for by me. Currently, I have a wide open schedule as I prepare for my next job in the next few months. I can do multiple walks a day or stay overnight with pets. I can offer caring for your pets in your own home and will utilize your resources appropriately and safely. My own home, if truly needed, is in a lovely neighborhood for nice walks, with a fenced in backyard. Currently, there are no other pets in the house.
About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.
About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. I know and understand the fear and uncertainty of leaving your babies while you’re away from home. I would love to take care of them and reassure you of their comfort and safety while you’re away. I have 2 cats of my own but love dogs just as much! I work a 9-5 in Raleigh Monday through Friday so have limited drop in capabilities during the week. However, i’m available for weeknight/weekend stays or weekend drop-ins! I can stay at your place and keep your dog or cat company throughout the week or drop in throughout the weekend to feed, water, clean up litter boxes and play!
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid , I'm 45 now, growing up we always had cats , dogs , snakes, even squirrels, I worked for independent animal rescue. I found a hunting dog thatt was pregnant with 10 puppies, starving to death standing by the father of her puppies that the hunter shot in the head, so I took her in , she had puppies 10 days later , I had a infant at the same time she did , I called IAR ,and worked with them afterwords for years, I have 1 dog of my own , and mom has 2 . They all 3 are very sweet. Champ , my dog loves to meet new dogs,so I'm excited to care for your fur babies! 💟💖💗

“I couldn't be happier with the care my two older dogs received! Amanda was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. My dogs both require medications and she administered them with no issues. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Finn and Skye came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with my dog when I travel. Her children also were helpful and played with my dogs while in her care. They sent the dogs home with the cutest hand-drawn pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Marilyn did an amazing job with my dog. She kept me updated through out the entire time. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own look no further. She treated my dog so well, I was scared he wouldn’t want to come home. She is wonderful and will make sure your fur baby is well taken care of.”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“I have to admit, I had never used rover it was last minute. My usual boarders we're full, but i came across Valerie and her profile made me take that chance. Im so glad i did she was amazing! She sent pics everyday, she made my trip more relaxed and i was at ease. I will use her services again my dogs loved her.”
“David was great! He sent us pictures every day we were gone and was responsive when we reached out. I really appreciated that he was sensitive to learning Olive’s needs and catering the environment around her. She was a curious introvert while there, wanting to observe and interact in a limited way with the other dogs but also wanting her own space (she’s an old lady) and he made sure to honor her curiosity while giving her time to herself.”
“Camila and Lino were great host, they took very good care of our dog while we were away. They communicated through out the stay and were very understanding and sweet.”
“Went above and beyond. Very caring and conscientious. Great communication. Sent a lot of pictures. We knew our dog was in very good hands. Would definitely use again.”
“Romel and Carolina were amazing. They gave timely updates and Anchovy looked to be having a blast. They were very responsive and I appreciate the time and care they put into Anchovy’s stay.”
“They took good care of my dog and he got walks and cuddles! I love pics and that helped a lot, and he also got along great with their dog so also a relief!”
“Sharon took such good care of our pup who is very needy for love and attention. I could see she was happy in pictures and videos Sharon shared as well as when we picked her up. We have already booked her next stay with Sharon. Thank you for your loving attention Sharon”
“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”
“My dogs had such a great time and were very well cared for. They were so tired when they came home! She sent regular updates and some great pictures and videos. A fantastic stay!”
“Elizabeth took the best care of our dog, Millie! We got frequent updates through her stay and could tell that she was getting a lot of love, attention and having the best time while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with Millie under Elizabeth’s watch! 1000/10 rating!”
About: Hey hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and would enjoy to meet new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer, rising senior at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.
“I don’t have enough words to describe how great Savannah and her husband Brent were to my baby Lucy. They are the sweetest people, communicated so well! I could tell Lucy was in the best hands! Their little baby Pongo is also the cutest!! 100% recommend!! We will definitely be booking again!! Thank you!!”
“Jeremy and family were absolutely amazing. We had to book short notice and the process and communication was excellent. He cared for our little guy just as we would! We will definitely be rebooking.”
