One of our dogs had just been spayed a few weeks ago, and they were especially attentive to her needs, making sure she was comfortable and well looked after. Their property is beautiful and has so much space for the pets to enjoy. Melissa and Reece are kind, responsible, and clearly love animals.

She sent pictures on a regular basis during our trip and I could see Tank was having fun with the other dogs. We will definitely book with Rajita again!”

“Bailey was just amazing. This was the first time my 11 year old chihuahua has been away from home without me, but the moment I met Bailey I was immediately at ease. She showed kindness, love, and patience towards my dog from the start. She showed me around her yard, and listened attentively as I explained my dog's habits and routines. She sent a text and photos of how my dog was doing during his stay with her. When I went to pick him up, he showed no signs of stress - he was calm and happy upon my arrival. Thank you, Bailey! I would book with you again in a heartbeat.”

About: We would love to welcome you to our family! We currently have four dogs and three cats who love playing in our fenced-in yard. I have always had a passion for working with and caring for animals. Growing up, I was raised around all types of animals. My family would rescue, care for, and rehabilitate sick or injured kittens and puppies. I would help clean wounds, bottle-feed young animals, and care for all the animals that came through our home. I also have experience providing emergency veterinary services to various animals. My partner also has a lot of experience taking care of animals. She has worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital and was a puppy raiser for a service dog. We offer daycare as well as overnight stays. We are comfortable providing medication to your pet and helping make them as comfortable as possible. During your pet's visit, they have the opportunity to play alongside our pets or can have a separate space for themselves. I currently work part-time on Mondays and Tuesdays but am home the rest of the week. My partner works from home, so there is always someone at home to play with and take care of your pets. We are often home all weekend unless we are taking a hike with our dogs. Our home offers a fenced-in yard for your fur babies to explore during the day and walks can be taken around the neighborhood. Our cats spend most of their time in the enclosed porch so they can be away from your pets if necessary and our two youngest dogs sleep in cages at night. We can easily provide a crate for your pet during the day or at night if requested and there is space for them to have their own space away from our pets as well.
“Rebecca is a natural with dogs and she handled our older dog and our puppy both with great love and care. She is reliable and we were able to count on her even with unexpected delays in getting home.”
“Marissa was communicative and sent pictures and updates every day. She also left the apartment very clean. I would definitely use Marissa again and highly recommend.”
“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
“Nicole stopped in for another potty break. I do believe our 1 year old Goldendoodle has found a new friend. Since our little girls recommends Nicole we do too. Thanks Nicole for taking care of our babygirl.”
About: I've taken care of my own pets and many of the pets of family, friends, and neighbors for over twenty years. I also have a service dog who I've trained mostly on my own, with refinement help from a professional, so you can feel confident that your fur family will receive exceptional care and attention from a patient and knowledgeable handler. I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)! I have a 4yo poodle service dog who would only need to be with me for overnight stays or if your dog(s) would like a mid day playmate. He's incredibly sociable and energetic when off duty. Either together or solo, I will make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions we discuss and care for your fur family as if they were my own.
“Karra is great. She was flexible with us when I messed up the timing in the app. She communicated all the time with us letting us know how our dogs were doing and she was super attentive. Our dogs loved her. We definitely will use her services again.”
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.
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.

I highly recommend Charles and Wag N wheels. Great people and great facility!”

We got pictures during the day. We have booked with them again for a longer stay. We will be very comfortable leaving our dogs there for an extended stay.

My calm, assertive approach will keep your creature happy and on their best behavior in your absence. I've a beagle mix, age 6. He’s friendly, playful, gentle and cuddly with non aggressive dogs.

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!
“Carol is the best! She had great communication, took wonderful care of Obi, and has a great yard and home that is pet friendly and safe. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“My dog Chloe has stayed with David several times, and each time has been fantastic! Chloe loves David and gets excited when we pull into their driveway. She always comes home happy and tired. David sends the best pictures, and Chloe always looks like she is having a blast. I haven't actually used any other dog sitter on Rover because David is just that great.”
“Rachel is a super star sitter! She watched Shasta all day for 3 days while I was in Raleigh working from out of town. My pup Shasta loves her. Normally he doesn’t want to leave me but he walked off happily with Rachel from my hotel where she kindly met us every morning and evening for drop off. Rachel’s communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”

They’ll feel right at home with us. We have a LARGE fenced in yard where they’ll be able to run around - or we can take them on a nice run/walk - or they can just lounge and be lazy around the house.

We will be sure to send pictures, videos and communicate with you at least once a day to make sure you are in the loop and have nothing to worry about. We also are flexible and understand life happens - we can drop off your pets at the end of the stay or make a last minute modification in case of a delayed flight. I work from home so this is easily achieved - whether it’s numerous potty breaks or constant attention, your pet will not be alone for numerous hours during their stay with us. We have a spacious home that is well appointed to handle your pet - from the large fenced in yard to flooring that is not slick and provides good traction. We can also easily setup crates, if needed.
“Siobhan has an ease with dogs of all personality types. I left my neurotic pound puppy with separation anxiety for one day and she was excited to go back. It is so comforting to know that when I'm away, Macy is living her best life playing with friends and being loved. So grateful for Siobhan.”

About: I’m a pet mom of six full grown cats and two dogs. i’ve had them their entire lives. I rescued one of my cats from a ditch in a parking lot. I work early mornings so that I am available afternoons and evenings any day of the week. I am often in Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham and Hillsborough. I have a fenced front and back yard so our pets just go out there to pee or poop. We feed our dogs and cats two times a day.
About: I have cared for my own personal pets as well as friend’s and family’s pets. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I walk, groom, feed, and bathe when needed. I am a graduate student at NCCU in Durham so I don’t have time for a full time position but Rover allows me to have the flexibility to do pet sitting when possible. Weekends are my most available time and I will also have time in between my clinicals and my classes that I can do walks or drop in visits! I have always been an animal lover, I have grown up in a household that has always had multiple pets at a time. My pets get my full attention and affection at al times when I am home! They bring me so much joy and I would love some more fur babies to love on with all of the responsibility of caring for the 24/7!
About: I've had and cared for animals my entire life, mostly dogs as well as cats. From Shih tzus to Great Danes, puppies/kittens to senior pets- I'm comfortable with breeds of all shapes, sizes, and all life stages. Pets are family, and as a mother of 2 (humans :)) also, I understand the importance of being responsible for others' well-being. I would love to be there for your fur babies!

“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!”
About: Hi My name is Maryssa and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 or 11 years old . I really wish I could adopt every dog I see haha , but I do have Three dogs of my own two chihuahuas, and one Maltese. Neighbors , family , and friends all come to me when they need a reliable and dependable person to watch their pets . My schedule is pretty much open availability at the moment , but I do ask when booking that you are on time and if you are running behind there needs to be communication . If you are more than 45 minutes late Dropping your pet off we will need to reschedule for another time . I don’t have a fence at my home but I personally walk my dogs on a leash, or harness . My animals are pet friendly so your fur babies will be kept company .
“Olivia was very prompt in her response and acceptance of this walk in my time of need. She really helped us out when we needed her most and we got constant pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.

“Absolutely Perfect! Mia is a sweet old lady, but barely llkes any other dogs and that was not the case at Bryan's. He has a way with our animals! I hope you have the opportunity to have a similar experience. Thanks Bryan & the Pirate Crew.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Melissa and Reece! They took amazing care of our two dogs and cat while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. One of our dogs had just been spayed a few weeks ago, and they were especially attentive to her needs, making sure she was comfortable and well looked after. Their property is beautiful and has so much space for the pets to enjoy. Melissa and Reece are kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. We’re so grateful for their help and absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”

“Bailey was just amazing. This was the first time my 11 year old chihuahua has been away from home without me, but the moment I met Bailey I was immediately at ease. She showed kindness, love, and patience towards my dog from the start. She showed me around her yard, and listened attentively as I explained my dog's habits and routines. She sent a text and photos of how my dog was doing during his stay with her. When I went to pick him up, he showed no signs of stress - he was calm and happy upon my arrival. Thank you, Bailey! I would book with you again in a heartbeat.”

It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would happily book with this sitter again and highly recommend them.”

“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“My dog had so much fun and David got him to come out of his shell and actually interact with other dogs! I’d give more stars if I could. David was also very responsive and sent me lots of pictures and frequent updates.”
“Joanna is simply, 'The Best!' We could not have had a better pet sitter for our great dane, Kip... While she had never boarded a great dane, she intuitively knew immediately how to put him at ease... and because if that...us, too ! I can say without hesitation that she no doubt has that same ability with any breed of dog. She has been a treasure to us and we look forward to a good, long relationship with her. Much thanks to Rover for bringing us together !”
“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”
