“Ana is amazing!!! We had a previous bad experience and were nervous leaving our Bella again. Ana took all of our worries away! She kept me informed, sent photos and made sure Bella was comfortable in her home. She is already booked for our next trip!”
“We used Connie's services once again due to her obvious love and great care of our Zoe girl! She provided updates including pictures and videos that we appreciate so much! It's great to know that our family can depend on Connie to take care of Zoe while we are on vacation.”
“We had a great experience! They were very kind, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Eevee. She looked happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her stay. We'd definitely book with them again!”
“Kasey and Adam took such great care of Harlow while I was away! I received so many pictures and videos of him running around, exploring, and playing which made being away so much easier and really gave me peace of mind knowing he was having a great time. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and it was clear that Harlow felt comfortable and happy with them. I would absolutely recommend Kasey and Adam to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
“I loved leaving my dog with Geysi. She stayed in contact with me the entire time, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog had so much fun and was very well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to leave my pet with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry friend!”
“Rocky had SOOO many good things to say about Kelli and Khan after his weekend with them when we went out of town! Kelli sent us many pictures and videos, and made sure that he was comfortable and attended to. We don't have to worry when leaving Rocky with Kelli, because we know he is in great hands!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly a little nervous about leaving our pets and trusting someone new. Amanda made the entire experience completely stress-free from start to finish. She sent multiple updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and always quick to answer any questions we had. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to happy puppies and couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. We are already planning to rebook with Amanda for several of our upcoming trips this summer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“Kurt was wonderful with my dog. Flexible with drop off and pick up. There was another dog staying as well which I loved because my dog loves having a playmate. He sent pictures and kept me updated on his stay.”
“Michel was great with maya!! She had her for about 10 to 12 days. She would send pictures and videos. My husband and I really felt comfortable with her takimg care of our baby. She did a great job and maya was happy as well.”
“I just wanna say thank you for keeping my Lola. I enjoy the pictures that were sent to me of her enjoying herself. My flight was canceled. I had to get a a flight the next day, which made me a couple hours late picking up Lola, but Tyreika understood….I will use Tyreika again thank you”
“Laura was very accommodating and super sweet to my girls? I got pictures every day that I was gone. I could see that they were cozy in the evenings and having fun running out in the yard when they were let out. I will be going back to her again!”
“Marina was so good with my sweet Bea. Her home is a safe and calm environment for any dog. Being away from home is so stressful for my Bea, Marina was so calm and accepting and did her best to keep Bea's stress as minimal as possible. Marina is was also very flexible and worked with my last minute work schedule change. Bea loved her time at Marina's and we will definitely have more stays at her home.”

“Mikayla did an amazing job again. I feel really lucky to be able to leave Rudy and Ginger with her. They were really happy to see her when I brought them this time which was their second stay with Mikayla. She sends great updates which helps me to relax and when I am away from them because I know they are doing well. She was flexible with the pick up time when I got delayed some coming back from my trip.”
“Ashley was great, we'll definitely try to book her again. Very easy to work with (but keep in mind you have to have access to the base). My pups came home happy but tired, which normally means they had a great time. Her lab was a perfect playmate for my dog. Ashley also gladly provided the little extras that made a big difference to my pups and me. She stored ingredients in her fridge and then made our homemade dog food so our pups could eat the same diet during their stay. She also washed the pups' blankets on the last day. You can rest assured your pups will be in good hands during their stay with Ashley.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the very beginning Kimberly was excellent with communication and reassuring that my pups were in good hands. She regularly updated me with photos during the stay that gave me a peace of mind.”

“My cats love Ericka so I love Ericka! This is the first time I've used Rover to find someone to watch my kattens and I'm very happy with how well everything went. All 3 cats went right up to her at the meet+greet and I know they were very vocal with her during her visits; came out to play and followed her around. It's always nerve racking leaving them for any amount of time but Ericka made me significantly more comfortable about it. The photos, videos, and little messages are much appreciated! I for sure plan to use Ericka again in the future 🙃”
“Stephanie was very sweet and professional. She provided daily pictures and was very communicative. She had left the house clean and ready for us to come home to our fur baby. I would absolutely recommend her, thanks again for such a good stay!”
“Amber is an amazing sitter! She takes care of the babies so well and is always willing to watch them for us. I think the kitties are liking her more than me these days! Absolutely recommend booking with Amber, she always puts my mind at ease that the babies will be well taken care of while we’re out of town. Thanks for everything Amber!”
“Stasha was the best petsitter I could have asked for! Not to mention how last minute on a holiday weekend it was yet she took the best care of my spoiled baby. She sent us pictures and was super communicative all weekend which was super comforting with this being my first time using rover. I think Ripley still misses their morning coffee dates on the patio. Needless to say she is now my forever petsitter. She’s trustworthy, and takes care of you baby just as you would if not better ? I came home to a happy loving cat that was not angry at us for leaving him. 10/10 Would recommend Sasha to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“We are so grateful for Nathaly for caring for our pups while we enjoyed a little day trip. She was available last minute for us and gave us the peace of mind that our Lucy and Odin would be cared for while we were out. She was communicative with us and shared pictures of our pups as well. Our Lucy can be a bit timid and Nathaly was great working with her. Would definitely book again and recommend Nathaly to others as well!”
“Sandy took great care of my kittens while I was gone. She was on time everyday. The boys had a lot of fun playing with her during the visits. Sandy usually takes care of dogs, but I can also recommend her for cats.”
“I’ve asked Alanna to watch my kitties three times now, and she is always awesome. She is very communicative and always sends pictures. I know my kitties are being looked after well, so I don’t have to worry when I’m out of town.”
“Alexis is amazing! We’ve booked her several times for drop in visits for our dogs and cats, and she always provides excellent communication and updates while we’re away. She takes such great care of our animals, and we never have to worry knowing they’re in her hands. It gives us so much peace of mind when traveling, and we truly appreciate the love and attention she gives our pets. Highly recommend!”
“Chloe was excellent with our cat! She was reliable and so easy to work with. We loved our daily updates and knowing our pet was being cared for while we were away.”
“Alivia is AWESOME!! Her calm, knowledgeable & friendly demeanor told me right away that she is someone I can trust with my cat, Matilda. She did a fantastic job and provided me with daily updates. I'll definitely reach out to Alivia the next time I leave town.”
“Colleen has taken care of my diabetic cat multiple times now and I can vouch for her professionalism and excellent service. She is highly reliable and does her best to keep my house tidy. She is a trustworthy person.”

“Tyreika was the best! She took such great care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to help my wife and I. She will take the best care of your pets. 10/10 and would book again!”

“I’m delighted with the care that Branden and Nikkishae provided. Pepper seemed well cared for and she was pretty relaxed compared to other times when I picked her up. She usually pulls as hard as she can to get in the car at pick up, but this time she actually sat for me while I was talking with Nikkishae at the front door. I’m so happy I found them and I will definitely be a return client.”
“Alexis is very nice and you can tell that she is very good with pets, Lucky went with her as if he knew her, she gave me a very good impression and I am very happy and calm to be able to leave him with someone who is going to take good care of him. .. I'm already looking for a date 😆”

“Noni told me all I needed to know about this sitter when she acted like she didnt want to leave with me just yet ☹️lol! A very good sign that she not only felt safe but cared for at the same time. Juleysi comes highly recommended from me!”
“We were in town for business and needed a sitter for several hours. We were so lucky to find Laura! She took great care of our girl and made us feel comfortable with her home and environment and the obvious love she has for taking care of pups. We will definitely use her again next time we are in Fayetteville.”
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
About: I have loved animals all my life and have had pets in the home since I was born. I first started babysitting others pets while their owners were on Leave or TDY starting in the 3rd grade. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of grass for your pet to run and play. While your pet is in my care, they will be given plenty of potty breaks, exercise and play time. I will send you pictures and brief updates throughout their stay to put your mind at ease. I have extensive experience dealing with senior pets who need medications and who need special care due to specific medical ailments. Your pet will always be treated as my family. They will get hugs and kisses, too! Please don't let my address in Wade deter you...I am only 8 miles from Ramsey Street!! For safety reasons, we cannot take care of Pitt Bulls or any pet that is aggressive. If it is the first time caring for your pet, I will ask to do a Meet and Greet so we can all meet one another to ensure our pets will all get along. I work remotely from home so your pet will rarely be left alone. I have two dogs of my own, so your pet will have plenty of company to play with. Since I do work from home, I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and time to go outside in the yard to run and play. I have a very large fenced in yard that is all grass and very clean providing your pet plenty of room to run and play or just time to walk around the yard and explore. I will never leave your pet outside alone. Either my husband or I will be with them the entire time. While inside the house, they will have full access to clean water, plenty of toys and soft dog beds, all in our very clean home. If I am dropping in on your pet in your home, you can rest assured that I will be on time for the visit, take them to potty, and give them plenty of love. I will be very respectful of your home and only go in the areas needed for me to do the visit. For safety reason, I will not be able to watch Pitt Bulls or pets that are aggressive in any way. Please let me know if your dog can jump or climb fences, or is an escape artist.
“Our dog LOVES doggy-daycar-day at Haley's house. Her pups are the perfect play pals. Her yard is huge, fenced, and safe. She even lets the dogs hang out indoors. So far, we are very happy!”
About: I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust. I am currently available during the week and most weekends to care for your pets; this includes drop in visits, walks and even training sessions. Safety of the pets in my care is of the utmost importance, whether I care for them in the client’s home, I am boarding them in my home or walking them in public. I will abide by city, county and state laws regarding the care and maintenance of your beloved pets.

She is longing for a playmate, since her best friend passed away a few months ago.

The sunroom faces the backyard and has all of the warm spots for window hammocks, cat trees, scratch posts, and everything else a cat could ever need and love. 🐾 I work from home during the week which gives me availability to care for your pets 24 hours without having to leave them alone while working.

About: I’ve had many animal “businesses” since I was little. A doggy care job is perfect for me! I have 3 dogs if my own, ranging from a chihuahua, to a Great Dane! I’ve taken care of my own as well as trusted with my friends and family’s pets. Hi! I am a full time student now, and I do have a job. I keep this open bc I love to help and love animals!

About: I’ve worked professionally with animals for over a year and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious and reactive animals, and following individualized care routines. I currently work as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where I am learning more about animal health and daily medical care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and safely giving pills to pets that are hesitant to take them with food. I understand how important it is to carefully monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. At home, I also care for 3 cats and 2 lizards, giving me firsthand experience with both traditional and exotic pets. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and compassion that I give every animal I care for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. :) I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital on a rotating schedule, so my workdays vary from week to week. Because of that, I keep my availability updated regularly. Even on days that I’m working, I’m often available to provide drop-in visits before work, after work, or during other available times depending on my schedule. On my days off, I have much greater flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits or longer stays. I am currently only accepting bookings no longer than 2 weeks. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before booking and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to discuss whether I can accommodate them! I believe the best care comes from keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention based on their individual personality and needs. I’m happy to administer medications as directed, follow special feeding instructions, and accommodate senior pets or those with medical needs. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and well-being and will let you know immediately if I notice anything concerning. I am totally okay with sending photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go for walks, or simply have someone sit quietly with them, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return. :)) At this time, I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I may also be able to care for small caged pets in my home on a case-by-case basis.

“She really helped me out of a bind when I had no one to let my 6 month old puppy out of her kennel for a pee and water break during the day while I worked my 12 hour shifts for 2 days. I could tell by the second day that Ellie recognized Colleen, and not only that was excited to see her again! Colleen really took care of my puppy, was patient while she sniffed everything and anything on their walk, made sure she pottied and had a drink before putting her back in her kennel for the rest of my shift. Great experience! Both for me, and for Ellie too. 10/10 would recommend, and would book again :)”
About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.
About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.
“Jenny is extremely patient, comforting, and understanding with our Toby, who can be shy towards newcomers. Thanks to this, we have been able to comfortably travel knowing he is in her good hands for stop-in walks!”
“Brooke was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my dog. I loved receiving updates and photos, and it was obvious my pup was happy and well cared for. Brooke went above and beyond to make me feel at ease, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover walker”

I received so many pictures and videos of him running around, exploring, and playing which made being away so much easier and really gave me peace of mind knowing he was having a great time. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and it was clear that Harlow felt comfortable and happy with them. I would absolutely recommend Kasey and Adam to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”

“Rocky had SOOO many good things to say about Kelli and Khan after his weekend with them when we went out of town!

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly a little nervous about leaving our pets and trusting someone new. Amanda made the entire experience completely stress-free from start to finish. She sent multiple updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and always quick to answer any questions we had. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to happy puppies and couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. We are already planning to rebook with Amanda for several of our upcoming trips this summer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”

“I just wanna say thank you for keeping my Lola. I enjoy the pictures that were sent to me of her enjoying herself. My flight was canceled. I had to get a a flight the next day, which made me a couple hours late picking up Lola, but Tyreika understood….I will use Tyreika again thank you”
“Marina was so good with my sweet Bea. Her home is a safe and calm environment for any dog. Being away from home is so stressful for my Bea, Marina was so calm and accepting and did her best to keep Bea's stress as minimal as possible.

They were really happy to see her when I brought them this time which was their second stay with Mikayla. She sends great updates which helps me to relax and when I am away from them because I know they are doing well. She was flexible with the pick up time when I got delayed some coming back from my trip.”
“Ashley was great, we'll definitely try to book her again. Very easy to work with (but keep in mind you have to have access to the base). My pups came home happy but tired, which normally means they had a great time. Her lab was a perfect playmate for my dog. Ashley also gladly provided the little extras that made a big difference to my pups and me. She stored ingredients in her fridge and then made our homemade dog food so our pups could eat the same diet during their stay. She also washed the pups' blankets on the last day. You can rest assured your pups will be in good hands during their stay with Ashley.”
