“Luna had a great time staying with them for a couple days. They took great care of her and made drop off and pickup very convenient and easy for us and for Luna. Manny thanks, and highly recommended!”
“My first experience on rover and Sarah and her family knocked it out of the park. Instantly felt comfortable and knew that my puppers was going to be in good hands. Very responsive and updated me throughout her stay daily. Very attentive and genuinely cared for my sweet girl. Highly recommend.”
“Brook is fantastic! So flexible with scheduling, so sweet, and really cares that the pups in her care get along and are happy. Denny came home exhausted (in the best way - from playing!).”
“Maddie had a wonderful spring break stay with Gabrielle and her family! She sent us a lot of cute pics and updates so we felt very comfortable. We had to make a last minute itinerary change and Gabrielle helped us with that. This family loves dogs and dies a fabulous job! Thanks- love Maddie and family”
“Copter had the best time staying with Amanda and her pups! I felt comfortable throughout his stay that he was well taken care of. Amanda kept us updated via messages, pictures, and videos. I know he can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommend!”
“Natalie watched my two dogs, Rooster and River, for 10 days and did an amazing job! We looked forward to her updates and knew they were safe and having fun with her. I know they will be excited to see her again!”
“Cassie was very accommodating. She took wonderful care of our basset hound. If you know a basset, then you know that they are stubborn and can't be trusted. Since our dog is still in her puppy stage, she can be a handful. Cassie enjoyed having her and was willing to watch her again. I highly recommend using Cassie as your next dog sitter.”
“Andrew and his family were wonderful caregivers to my two mini dachshunds. I also appreciated the flexibility with my return schedule to pick them up at my convenience , which made it so easy and lessened the stress. Thank you Andrew and family for taking such good care of my dogs 😊”
“Jenn and her son were lovely hosts to my mini golden doodle. Jenn was very kind and friendly. Jenn very clearly cares a lot for animals! She gave my pup lots of attention and sent frequent photos and videos. 10/10. I will definitely book with her again!”
“We had to leave our 6 month old puppy for a summer vacation, I was so nervous to leave him for over a week, but Samantha was wonderful, he is full of puppy energy and loved playing with her dogs, she provided frequent updates and photos and was so flexible, Apollo had a great time and we will defiantly use her again!”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”
“Wonderful. Didn’t worry about my dog, not for a second. Got pictures/updates at least 1x/day. With Donna & Calvin, I know my dog will be loved, exercised, as well as well rested. Thank you both!”
About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.
“Larissa M. was absolutely wonderful! They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter.”
“This family is absolutely wonderful when watching your dog and they follow everything you do in your own home! My dog was so happy all weekend getting to play with the friendliest dogs and getting lots of exercise!”

“Jess was great, sent a lot of pics and let us know how are cats were doing each day. The cats seemed to love her as well. Gave me a lot of peace of mind while leaving our cats the longest we ever have. Will definitely be using her again if we ever need a cat sitter.”
“Lizzy is extremely trustworthy! She not only looks after our cats as if they were her own, she also informs us if anything in the house seems off. Our cats absolutely love her on top of that!”
About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a Navy retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!
About: I have years of experience taking care of our own cats and dogs (we only have one dog now), as well our friend's animals when needed. I have just returned to working from home so I will be home a lot throughout the day to take care of your animals! I will be available all days of the week as well. I have a medium sized dog that would love to play with yours and he is also good with cats. I also have a large fenced in yard so there is plenty of room to play outside.
“Luckaia is a wonderful Petsitter and she made my first time using Rover a breeze. Ellie Mae loved her very much and it was evident from the happy photos of them both smiling. She truly loves dogs and is exceptional at caring for animals. Thank you!”
“Sarah was great with our 3 kitties! She was prompt in her communications, sent pics during her visits and let me know of questions/concerns she had (such as when a cat vomited and when one didn’t eat lunch). I definitely would have her care for my crew again!”
“Kar was fantastic! We got constant and wonderful feedback the entire time we were away. We will for sure try to book with her again during any future travels. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a compassionate and friendly sitter for their fur babies!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and kittens through fostering and volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve fostered cats and kittens of different ages, personalities, and needs, including sick kittens who required extra care, patience, and close attention. I’m comfortable caring for shy or nervous cats, playful kittens, and cats who may need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. I understand that every cat has their own personality and will always respect their space while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether your cat needs feeding, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. 🐱🐾

“Amanda was so welcoming and was able to take our two on last minute for a day while our house was being painted. I am sure our dogs were much happier having friends to play with. I was so impressed with Amanda, this process and my dogs. This was such an easy and great experience. Thank you Amanda!!!”
“Gabrielle was amazing! We needed a few hours for our boy to hang out and she furnished a safe and loving environment. Will definitely use again on our next visit down.”
About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

“Samantha is wonderful with dogs! Our Corgi and Shiba Inu adored her and had a wonderful time staying with her. My husband and I could not have been happier with her care. We will be using her whenever we visit our relatives in the area :-)”
“Rachel was very responsive and punctual with us. She followed our care instructions, sent us photos of Stuggi, and let us know how he was doing. He liked her from the beginning and enjoyed her company. Thank you!”
“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”

“Cara got some very good exposure to calm larger dogs and it was a positive experience! A nice walk at Long Leaf Park with Buddy was a great thing for her to do. Thank you Allie!”
About: There is nothing I love more than taking care or sweet fur babies. I’ve had personal experience taking care of dogs of any size for over 11 years. I have one small dog of my own that is old and very easy going. I currently work full time with kids with Autism. I usually work from 10-4. I prefer dogs that are crate trained and that can be left alone for a few hours. I am also available to dog walk before and after work! I have a large backyard area, however; it is not fully fenced. I make sure dogs are leashed when we hang out in the backyard!

About: I am a reliable, caring and flexible caretaker. I was a Instructor at Ecological Marine Adventures. I was responsible for handling and caring for reptiles, amphibians, and rodents. My first pet sitting job was when I was 10 and I have had training on basic obedience skills, senior care and puppy care. My mother trains dogs and I have learned most of my tools from her. I have transportation and am located in wilmington. I have had many clients including neighbors, friends and referrals and they have relied on me for long periods of time as their main caretaker. I have had experience dealing with special needs dogs and dogs requiring specific tailored care. I am currently attending College and have a flexible schedule. I wake early and go to be early as I am not your average college student at CofC:) My first priority is ensuring safety, and knowing what specific commands and instructions each pet requires. I ensure good communication with my clients and make sure they are cared for and loved. I love taking videos and pictures of your pets because it’s important to me as well as a pet owner. I have one cat and one dog and am responsible for all their care and medical needs. I take my dog to the dog park to do an obstacle Course and have a backpack to take my cat on walks outside safely.
“Thank you Allena for doing such a great job taking care of Jackson! Would highly recommend you to anyone looking for pet walking, sitting, etc. I can tell that you are very good at taking care of animals of all kinds. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have more than 15 years of experience caring for dogs through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering in shelters, and caring for other people’s pets. I currently have two Chihuahuas of my own, Tinky and Teddy, so I’m especially comfortable with small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has their own routine, temperament, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and happy to follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, medications, crate time, and sleeping arrangements. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular updates while in my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel confident that your baby is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I work remotely, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, including many evenings and weekends. Because I have two dogs of my own, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I’m happy to adjust that routine based on your dog’s normal schedule and individual needs. I also enjoy taking relaxed neighborhood walks and spending plenty of time snuggling at home. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment in Surf City with my two small dogs. Visiting pets are always supervised, kept leashed outside, and given a calm space where they can settle in and feel comfortable. I can keep pets separated when needed for meals, rest, or a slower introduction. Before boarding, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, triggers, medical needs, and how they typically interact with other dogs. A meet-and-greet is always welcome so we can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.

“My first experience on rover and Sarah and her family knocked it out of the park. Instantly felt comfortable and knew that my puppers was going to be in good hands. Very responsive and updated me throughout her stay daily. Very attentive and genuinely cared for my sweet girl. Highly recommend.”
“Brook is fantastic! So flexible with scheduling, so sweet, and really cares that the pups in her care get along and are happy. Denny came home exhausted (in the best way - from playing!).”
“Maddie had a wonderful spring break stay with Gabrielle and her family! She sent us a lot of cute pics and updates so we felt very comfortable. We had to make a last minute itinerary change and Gabrielle helped us with that. This family loves dogs and dies a fabulous job! Thanks- love Maddie and family”
“Copter had the best time staying with Amanda and her pups! I felt comfortable throughout his stay that he was well taken care of. Amanda kept us updated via messages, pictures, and videos. I know he can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommend!”
“Cassie was very accommodating. She took wonderful care of our basset hound. If you know a basset, then you know that they are stubborn and can't be trusted. Since our dog is still in her puppy stage, she can be a handful. Cassie enjoyed having her and was willing to watch her again. I highly recommend using Cassie as your next dog sitter.”
“Natalie watched my two dogs, Rooster and River, for 10 days and did an amazing job! We looked forward to her updates and knew they were safe and having fun with her. I know they will be excited to see her again!”
“Jenn and her son were lovely hosts to my mini golden doodle. Jenn was very kind and friendly. Jenn very clearly cares a lot for animals! She gave my pup lots of attention and sent frequent photos and videos. 10/10. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Andrew and his family were wonderful caregivers to my two mini dachshunds. I also appreciated the flexibility with my return schedule to pick them up at my convenience , which made it so easy and lessened the stress. Thank you Andrew and family for taking such good care of my dogs 😊”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”
“We had to leave our 6 month old puppy for a summer vacation, I was so nervous to leave him for over a week, but Samantha was wonderful, he is full of puppy energy and loved playing with her dogs, she provided frequent updates and photos and was so flexible, Apollo had a great time and we will defiantly use her again!”
About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.
“Larissa M. was absolutely wonderful! They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter.”
“Again the absolute best person in the world to take care of our son we were gone for 2 weeks this time and I had no worries now the only problem is he's so attached to her children that he said for 3 days whenever you bring him home thank you again to Kim and her family for taking such good care of teddy bear”
“This family is absolutely wonderful when watching your dog and they follow everything you do in your own home! My dog was so happy all weekend getting to play with the friendliest dogs and getting lots of exercise!”
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”
