“Joanna was a great sitter! As soon as we showed up she was so happy to meet Brandy and very warm towards to her. Brandy even got her own room, and there was plenty of space outside for her to run around. Lots of animals in the house but they seem to be separated from one another which is great. She even knitted brandy a little blanket! Thank you Joanna, we will definitely be using you again!”

“Great family who definitely showed my pup lots of love while I was away! It was great getting to see pics and get updates during her week visit. They even had a Christmas stocking for her since she was there for the holidays! Will 100% come back to them in the future”


“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”

“Danielle provided a fabulous experience for Niko while we were away. He was able to have a lot of social play with many dogs, this was very new to him and he did great! She provided daily updates with pictures and videos to keep us at ease. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend! Thanks again!”


“Lucy had the best time staying with Gary and his family! Gary was nice to send a picture daily so I could see what Lucy was up to. And he would keep me posted on how she was doing. Lucy enjoyed the farm setting with plenty of space to run and play with lots of farm animal friends. Gary took excellent care of my dog and I know she was comfortable and enjoyed her time with him and his family. Feel good knowing your dog is really well cared for with Gary! I look forward to Lucy staying here again.”

“I could not have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Otis with her. She has such a warm, loving home, a big yard for him to run and play in, and a sweet little girl dog of her own to keep him company. She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept me updated on how he was doing, which meant so much to me. Otis is still a puppy with LOTS of energy, and he can definitely test the limits and be a little naughty at times! 😂 She handled all of his puppy antics like an absolute pro—with patience, kindness, and a great sense of humor. Most importantly, I could tell that Otis was genuinely cared for and loved while he was there. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your dog and know that he’s not just being “watched,” but is actually comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I would absolutely trust her with Otis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and capable sitter. We definitely found our Rover sitter! ❤️🐾”

“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Our girls had a great time with Halle and Thomas (and Molly!) We got plenty of photos and updates on our trip, and both my husband and I agree we will gladly use them again in the future.”

“Banjo had a great time at Melissa’s; she sent photos and updates everyday and drop off/pick up was super easy. I will definitely use her again anytime I need a pet sitter!”

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.

We have two inside dogs who are fairly well trained and stay in our fenced in yard when they're out to potty and have plenty of space to run around.

“Teresa was absolutely WONDERFUL. We booked her pretty last minute, and we are so thankful to have found her to take of our little kitty :) We really appreciated that she did a meet-and-greet a few days before to get to know our kitty and his needs in person. She was always so quick to respond to any and all communication, and was always so thorough in reporting back to us after her visits to our place.

While you are away, these daily snapshots and stories will keep you connected to their mood, appetite, and quiet moments, giving you complete peace of mind knowing their routine is unbroken and their heart is fully cared for.

About: I've always loved cats. I had cats growing up in New York, a house full of cats. My mother was allergic to cats so until she passed I wasn't able to have any cats of my own.

I love on them and most importantly I treat every cat with the upmost respect like they are little people.

About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.
About: I first started housesitting and pet sitting with the Rover app in 2020. I am comfortable and confident working with all sizes of dogs due to the wide variety of pets I cared for in Florida as well as Nebraska! A few of the services I provided were, dog walking, light dog grooming, basic gardening and housekeeping tasks. In one special case I cared for a miniature schnauzer with diabetes, I made sure his blood sugar was regular and gave him his insulin shot when needed. Like multiple other animals I’ve cared for I can follow their special diets if needed.. I’d love the opportunity to take of your pets and see what your city has to offer. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so I will have lots of extra time to play with your pets! I also plan on taking multiple walks throughout the day. I will be sure to maintain a safe environment for your pets while you are away! I will stick to their regular routines to help them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Janet and I would love to look after your pup or kitty! I have been in the animal care industry for around 15 years and it is something I am truly passionate about. I live in Durham, NC where I managed a boarding and daycare facility for both dogs and cats! I love traveling through the Triangle area and loving on all the animals I have the privilege to take care of. Watching your sweet animal would be more than just a job, it would be a wonderful opportunity to do something that I absolutely love! Service Abilities: I am a frequent pet sitter for clients all over North Carolina and South Carolina and have experience with check-ins, walks, boarding, overnight house-sitting or if you are comfortable, bringing your sweet pet to my home. I provide walking, feeding, exercising and caring for pups and kitties of all breeds, ages and sizes. I am also trained to administer any canine/feline medication including Insulin. I understand the love that owner’s have for their animals and nervousness when you have to travel away from your pet through my experience at an overnight animal boarding facility so I focus on establishing trust and will definitely make you feel comfortable enough to leave your pet with someone you can depend on! I currently work from home so I have full availability on weekdays and weekends to watch and take care of your pup or kitty anytime! Whether you’re going on a last-minute trip or you’re looking for something consistent and routine-I am here for whatever you need! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions and I’m sure we can set something up that’s perfect for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in dog park in front of my home that your pup and kitty can go out to play and potty and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can take them to the public dog park right down the road. I live in a large neighborhood so long, sunny and breezy walks will be part of their day too! I currently work from home so I am available 24/7. Your pup or kitty will receive around the clock care and attention from me. I strive to give them just as much of a vacation as you are experiencing when you drop them off with me! I do not have any children in my home so your pup or kitty will be free to roam! I provide dog and cat beds, food and water bowls and lots of toys and treats (only if you approve as I will be mindful of your pet’s dietary needs and any allergies). If I am checking in or house sitting for you, your home will be treated with the utmost respect. I do daily cleaning, will gather any mail and packages and will leave your home spotless!

“Joanna was a great sitter! As soon as we showed up she was so happy to meet Brandy and very warm towards to her. Brandy even got her own room, and there was plenty of space outside for her to run around. Lots of animals in the house but they seem to be separated from one another which is great. She even knitted brandy a little blanket! Thank you Joanna, we will definitely be using you again!”

“Great family who definitely showed my pup lots of love while I was away! It was great getting to see pics and get updates during her week visit. They even had a Christmas stocking for her since she was there for the holidays! Will 100% come back to them in the future”


“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”


“Lucy had the best time staying with Gary and his family! Gary was nice to send a picture daily so I could see what Lucy was up to. And he would keep me posted on how she was doing. Lucy enjoyed the farm setting with plenty of space to run and play with lots of farm animal friends. Gary took excellent care of my dog and I know she was comfortable and enjoyed her time with him and his family. Feel good knowing your dog is really well cared for with Gary! I look forward to Lucy staying here again.”

“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Our girls had a great time with Halle and Thomas (and Molly!) We got plenty of photos and updates on our trip, and both my husband and I agree we will gladly use them again in the future.”

“Banjo had a great time at Melissa’s; she sent photos and updates everyday and drop off/pick up was super easy. I will definitely use her again anytime I need a pet sitter!”

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.
About: I've owned and been around dogs my whole life, as well as chickens, hamsters, rats, etc(which I am also open to caring for your exotics). I currently have a 3 you golden doodle and a 9 month old boxer and a 12 yo cat as well as children which I feel gives me a superior ability to care for living things. I'm a stay at home parent so I have a large availability to watch your pets in my home as well as do drop in visits for you. We have two inside dogs who are fairly well trained and stay in our fenced in yard when they're out to potty and have plenty of space to run around.
