“Nicole is so awesome!! I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. This was our second time and he was so excited to see her- he just about ran into her house! Thank you Nicole for being amazing and so kind!”
“Kovu loved Sara and her pup Theo! He had a great time playing in the backyard and relaxing on the furniture. Sara was very respondent and sent lots of photos to make me feel good about leaving my pup behind.”
“She was awesome and super last minuite booking. My previous sitter back home bailed so i brought him to the beach, the house we stayed at wasnt super dog friendly so i reached out to gloria and she was willing to keep him for 3 days and the best part is he came back tired.”
“Michelle took great care of our pup! We have a 16-month old lab-mix with medium/high energy, and she kept her safe, active, and entertained. She was also flexible with our travel schedule which was massively helpful. Much more reasonable/affordable rates compared to other Rovers in the area. No idea how people justify $75 - $100+ nightly rates; seems outrageous, IMO. Anyways, not much more you can ask for or expect! Great experience all around. Will not hesitate to book with her again if/when the need arises.”
“Erin was an awesome sitter. She watched our golden retriever for a couple days and had a fantastic setup; Giant fenced in backyard with a pool and other dogs that got along really well. She updated us with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Dog must have had a blast because she was exhausted when we picked her up. Will definitely return if in the OBX area!”
“Rose took amazing care of my two fur babies for 3 nights. Her homestead is the perfect place to board your animals, and she is very personable. She is great to work with! She sent many pics of the dogs out and about while under her care. One of my dogs is a sweetie with humans but doesn't always interact well with other dogs (outside of his fur sister) and certainly not small animals. I was so worried about boarding him. Rose knew exactly how to take care of him and both dogs came back to our family happy and well-cared for. I will definitely be boarding with her again in the future! Thanks again Rose and family!”
“Flannery was wonderful! She was able to take my pup pretty last minute and was very communicative while I was away. Titan was very well cared for and I received photo updates frequently. Will definitely trust her with my fur baby any time!”
“Excellent experience for us and especially our two dogs! Sam provided excellent care and updates about our dogs through the duration of their stay. She did a great job handling our senior male chihuahua and had a special bond with our other (sometimes skittish) female chihuahua. She has a great set up to handle her dogs and doggie visitors. Thanks Sam!”

“Renee is great! My first time seeking a sitter as I went out of town and I will most definitely trust her to do it all over again in the future. She is reliable, respectful, communicative, trustworthy and most of all she is great with our dogs! 100/10 would recommend!”
About: I currently have three cats! They are all very young and crazy. But I make it my priority to ensure they are happy, and healthy! I think too many cat parents take their pets for granted because of how independent cats can be, but I make sure everyday to let these idiots know that I love them very much. And my heart goes out to all of yours, too!
About: I grew up in a home full of pets, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. I have years of hands-on experience walking dogs, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure they feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always focus on making their time with me fun, comfortable, and stress-free. I am currently interning part-time in Manteo, so I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, and my schedule is open during all other days of the week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while always prioritizing their safety. I’m careful with leashes, aware of their surroundings, and attentive to each dog’s energy level and needs. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with respect—keeping areas clean, refreshing food and water, and making sure pets are happy and relaxed before I leave. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. Above all, I focus on patience, kindness, and treating every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had cats growing up since I was a kid. I currently have 2. A young siamese and a senior tabby/ calico mix with 2 very different energy levels therefore giving me experience with both.
“Hannah was absolutely incredible! She took amazing care of our kitties and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day, which we truly appreciated as self-proclaimed crazy cat parents! Knowing they were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We also had a last-minute schedule change and Hannah was incredibly accommodating and so kind throughout the process. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah! 💖”
“Mrs. Rose and family took great care of our little Shirley. We feel very confident and comfortable with them. Our kitten was also comfortable. I believe she really enjoyed herself. We even received pictures as to how she was doing. It really put us at ease.”
About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I was also a ranch hand in Colorado which taught me extensive knowledge of taking care of outdoor animals. I'm very comfortable giving medications! I'm currently working full time at a property management company and they are flexible with any of my scheduling needs. I'm available to ahere to strict schedules. I will not be available to house your pet in my home, my cat is not friendly with other animals. I can make as many visits or stay at your home as needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats since I was 10 years old. I’ve had experience with kittens, including newborn kittens. I’ve also taken care of a senior cat who was left at the end of their life. My friends and family always have me on speed dial for any of there kitties needs.
“We are so grateful to have found Nichole. Our two Cairn Terrier brothers like being home and we prefer having them there, especially compared to the stress and expense of taking them to a kennel. We had a great meet & greet with Nichole and our pups took to her immediately. This was a difficult trip for us (mom’s funeral), and getting updates and photos from Nichole has been very comforting. Her enthusiasm and professionalism have helped make this trip so much better and opened the door for future travels knowing our dogs are very well cared for. Thank you, Nichole, for being excellent.”
“100 stars to Brandi for always taking such good care of my babies. I have hired her multiple times at this point, which I am grateful I was able to because she is in such high demand. I have a retired ex-racing greyhound who needs special care and a very sweet but very needy cat. I only feel comfortable leaving them with the best sitters and Brandi is really the best. She is responsible, loving, dependable, and very responsive. Also she takes the best pictures! Thank you again Brandi and I look forward to seeing you in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wanchese
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: 30 plus years of experience with fur babies. Love all fur babies big ones and little ones. Fur babies are the best part of life! Available full time since I work from home to give your fur baby all the time and attention they need for a positive experience while they are with me. I have a fenced in back yard to play ball, or frisbee with your fur baby while their staying with me and plenty of space if they need to be crated.
About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
“Outstanding! Truffles was spoiled by Rose on her beautiful farm! Rose was very responsive with her communication and was flexible with our needs. Highly recommend if you need a dog sitter in the OBX area!!”
About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.

“Renee helped us out while we were on vacation and unexpectedly needed to have our pup walked & checked on. Communication was easy and responses were prompt. I had never used a dog care service like Rover but am glad the need came up. It was a positive experience. I will use again the future if the need arises.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and I love them so much. I truly believe each one is born a sweetheart, and each of them deserve the happiest life we can give them! Currently unemployed, so I am very flexible with my availability! I would be happy to come watch your pets for a couple hours/days, take them for walks, or just play and get their all of their energy out! Each pet has their unique personalities and needs and learning these are important when taking care of any animal! If your pet is a more independent soul, like my oldest cat, then it is good for me to know, so I don't upset them by getting in their personal space! Or if your pet has specific health issues and medicines, like my dog did, then I want to make sure I'm aware of it and can get them the help they need!
About: I take care of dogs, cats, and chickens at home and frequently dog sit for neighbors and friends. I am open to taking care of any breed and age cat or dog, and other species as well!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old. Including puppies and rescuing senior dogs. Some of the senior dogs were at the end of their life so I understand the need for compassion and care. I currently have a two year old puppy which I have trained since she was five months old. So I am very versed in the need for daily exercise, consistent training, and daily enrichment. I’ve been dog sitting for at least ten years. Including extended stays at my residence. I’m currently a part time worker, looking for something to fill my extra time. So I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always ready for some extra dog time. My goal is to always put your pets need first. Including any care they need. Including cleaning up after them and any extra medications they may need. Also adding comfort and safety in stressful situations.
