“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“Leonardo and Oriana were great with our dog. We got daily pictures and updates. Very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely recommend them and will ve using their service again in the future.”
“I hate to send this glowing review because I want to keep Pam’s schedule open just for me!! ? She literally is an answer to prayer. Being newly empty nesters, we’ve been wanting to take several short trips but had no one to keep our 10 year old dog. She’s never been boarded so we didn’t want to go that route. We found Pam through Rover and booked with her because of the rave reviews. And, she was better than any of our expectations. She LOVED on our girl, sent pics and updates every day, and Lexi came home so happy, healthy, and with no separation anxiety. We feel so blessed to have found Pam and her husband Dave was awesome with Lexi as well. Thank you so much!!!”
“I give this lady a 5 star rating... Marshall can be a bit of a handful full he is full of energy. He is still a pup 14 months thinking he's part human.. She sent me pictures of Marshall. He looked very happy! I could enjoy my trip without having to worry about him. I got 2 more trips planned with her in the near future. I would recommend anybody bringing their fur baby here to her and her daughter. Marshall took right to her daughter and her daughter.”
“Zoe enjoyed spending time with Chantel and family. Chantel provided frequent updates and pictures. I’m sure Zoe will return for additional visits. Thanks Chantel for taking care of our Zoe.”
“Francisco was awesome, communication was great and sent pictures! I had a good feeling about leaving my dogs with him! He obviously has a lot of knowledge of dogs and takes care of them! We appreciate him being able to watch them!”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“Great environment for my Daisy and so safe and I know my Daisy was loved and taken good care of. I would definitely recommend Mitzi. Thank you soo much for taking great pictures and great care of my Daisy.”
“Laura and her family were wonderful and treated my dogs like her own. The dogs came home very tired because they had so much fun. Laura sent alot of pictures and kept us updated on the dogs. I am so glad we found her. Our dogs will definitely be going back to Laura’s house. I will tell anyone that asks about dog sitting about Laura.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such kind and attentive hands. I really appreciate the time, patience, and love you showed!!! I will be rebooking! Thanks again😊😊😊💕”
“She was super sweet I was late dropping her off and picking her up. She was so nice about everything she is a good sitter and patient with me. Will definitely book again.”
“Absolutely awesome. Amber was very kind and attentive taking care of our dog. He is blind and sometimes has potty troubles when in new places. She took that in stride, and when it seemed like his stomach was upset she even made him chicken and rice with pumpkin to help him feel better. Can't say enough! We are so very thankful to her, and her family, welcoming our dog into their home and treating him well.”
“Barbara is a gem! We haven’t been able to travel because our Golden has unique needs, but we had a fantastic meet&greet and successful trial sleepover. Barbara is attentive, caring, and treats our fur baby like her own with lots of love. Our furbaby was relaxed and at ease with Barbara, which made leaving her behind a worry free experience!”
“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”
“We left Pepper Poo overnight as a test for an upcoming trip. We were a little afraid that Pepper might misbehave because she was in a new environment with other people but Sarai did a fantastic job engaging her and reported that Pepper did a great job overnight!!! Thanks Sarai!!”

About: Hello, I’m Jess! I grew up around animals from the time I could walk until now. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, fish and a horse! I’ve always felt so comfortable and at ease around all kinds of animals and have always tried to help every animal I can (even if my parents didn’t appreciate it haha). I currently moved down to North Carolina with my cat and lived with 4 other cats, 4 dogs, and 6 birds before now. I also rescued a 9week old kitten from a dumpster a couple months ago! I’m really excited to have the chance to care for your fur babies while you’re unavailable! I can ensure they will stick to any schedule they may have, have any necessary medications on time, and are happy and safe before I let them have their “me” time! I’m currently working night shifts, part time, so I’m available during the day for our pets and late at night! I typically have 3 days off per week and am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pets have the best care possible! I like to come in and figure out what I can do to make the fur babies days a little better! Make sure they have food, water, find some treats and toys for them, and have a field day of play! I always triple check that my home and my clients homes are clean and safe when I leave so we don’t risk accidents happening and so everyone can rest easy! My primary concern is always your pets safety and well-being, as well as my own, so you can rest assured your pets will remain in a safe and happy environment while I’m there!
“Dante did a wonderful job taking care of our babies last minute for us! He was very flexible as we did not know exactly what our travel plans would look like and was very accommodating which was so helpful for us as we were traveling with two young kids and we did not know how that was going to go. One less stress was our pups being cared for. When we got home our fur babies were relaxed, happy and showed zero signs of any stress. From their happy tails and fun pictures we received during his visit, we can tell they enjoyed Dante coming to check on them while we were away! Thank you so much for your help over the weekend !!”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of Tango while I was gone. While he's a good bit standoffish most of the time, she did get him to come out of hiding occasionally and obviously enjoyed her attention. This was my first time using a pet sitter I did not know, but I will certainly look for Rachel the next time I need one.”
“Anastasiya was amazing! She handled pick up of our two cats flawlessly and sent pictures and videos during the stay. She was communicative and flexible. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets! I will be contacting her again for any future needs!”
“Lillie was great! She took excellent care of my dog and did a great job of keeping me informed and providing photos. She even went above and beyond by bringing a delivered package in from the porch. Also, she accepted this dog sitting very last minute when my original sitter had to cancel. I would not hesitate to utilize Lillie’s services again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thanks again, Lillie!”
“This is my third booking with Kiarra in the past couple of months due to lots of summer travel. She provided daily pictures and updates as usual. During this booking, when she was concerned about the auto-feeders not dispensing food, she let me know and adjusted the camera I use to check in on the kitties at various times to the food bowl so that I would be able to verify Smokey's food was getting dispersed at the correct time. She's been great with my cats and I will continue to use her for future bookings.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I have worked professionally with animals in boarding, grooming, and veterinary settings, giving me experience with shy cats, senior cats, kittens, multi-cat households, and cats that require medications or extra patience. I currently work as a veterinary assistant where I help with treatments, medications, vaccines, blood draws, dental cleanings, X-rays, IV fluids, anesthesia monitoring, recovery care, and general feline care. I am comfortable handling nervous or anxious cats and always work to make them feel safe and stress-free.

I will feed them, give them their needs, take them out to use the bathroom and for a walk, and maybe take them for a run, and go to the dog park.
“Ruth was absolutely amazing!! She was so communicative and kind with watching my cats. I’ve never been so at ease and comfortable being away from them when I need to go on trips. She sent tons of photos and let me know how they were doing, made sure they were clean, well taken care of, and played with on her drop ins. I am SO grateful and appreciative for her kindness and hard work!”
“Jessica is so reliable and thoughtful when taking care of our cats and dogs. I appreciate her thorough communication and willingness to make sure our pets are fully taken care of. I always highly recommend her for stress-free, worry-free service for any fur babies.”

“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”

About: I have always loved dogs. Since, I was a child pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do to make extra money. I currently work full-time from home. Having a pet to care for will not only help past time but also bring joy while working full-time. I have lots of free space in my home, allowing pets to run freely throughout their stay. It is very homey for both humans and pets. I will ensure your pet is safe & well taken care of.
About: Hi there!!! I have over 20 years of experience owning, loving, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes!! I am currently raising a Great Dane puppy, but I love the little guys too!! I am more than happy to offer references and show you where your friend will be staying when he comes here to visit. I have access to a large fenced in soccer field, located a short 5min walk from my house where the pups can run and play safely. I can also offer basic training, baths, and nail trims!
“Dawn was wonderful! She was very welcoming, communicative and sweet with my 4 month old puppy. She sent updates and pictures and I knew he was in good hands the moment I dropped him off. I look forward to him visiting again.”
About: I grew up around horses, dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs. I love animals and getting an opportunity to spend time with them and take care of them. Growing up, I also got to watch my sister who was in law enforcement do some K-9 training and help with her breeding business. I recently moved back home to NC post military- I started working Rover Jan. 23’ during unemployment and I loved it and want to continue as a side job! I am offering to pet sit over night if needed, provide potty breaks and walks for clients, and feeding services, etc. as requested by the client. Any additional information please do not hesitate to ask :)
“Julia took great care of Bowser and cleaned up after his puppy accidents (we are still working on going outside). We already have her booked for some upcoming drop-in visits!”
About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!
“So thankful for Sarai. My husband had an extra shift today and neither of us would have been home for hours to be with our dog, Lewey. She was available to help us out, and we were so grateful. Lewey was excited when he arrived for the day, and he tried to run back inside when I picked him up. He enjoyed his time with Sarai playing and more and sleeps as soon as he comes home. This lets us know that he had fun. Will continue to request her for boarding and doggy daycare. She has such a warm and friendly spirit and we truly feel that Lewey is in good hands when he is at her home.”
“Jessica was very kind and friendly.. She made sure our Sky was comfortable and she did a great job taking care of her for a couple days.. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.. Thanks a lot Jessica. From the Barrington's”
About: Lifelong dog lover and proud Boston Terrier mom. I give every pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own dogs, Max and Iris. Pet care is part of my daily life with my two Boston Terriers., I have the time and flexibility to give your dog plenty of love, walks, and attention. I’m semi-retired and have decided to pursue something I truly love — caring for dogs. Recently, while exploring local doggy daycare options for my own pups, I was shocked at how high the costs have become. It made me realize how many pet parents may feel stuck staying home because of the expense. That experience inspired me to create an affordable, loving alternative right here in North Raleigh. Overnight boarding covers up to 24 hours of care from drop-off to pick-up (drop-off after 8 AM, pick-up by 10 AM the following day). Pick-ups after 10 AM may include a Doggy Day Care fee for the extra time. I offer free meet-and-greets at the dog park right behind my building so we can make sure everyone gets along and you feel 100% comfortable before booking. It’s a great way for your pup to sniff around, meet Max and Iris, and see where the fun will happen. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your dog. I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and videos — time-stamped so you know exactly when they were taken — and you can reach out to me any time during your pup’s stay. I’m home most of the day aside from my workouts at the gym or grocery store visits, which means plenty of potty breaks — often every 2-3 hours — plus extra outdoor time for walks and play. I provide a safe, calm, and fully supervised environment at all times. Dogs are never left unattended, and I follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty needs, and any special instructions to ensure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for during their stay.

About: I know how truly important it is to find someone who’s reliable, trustworthy and professional when considering pet arrangements, whether that’s just a potty break or multiple days of sitting. I have three dogs of my own at the moment and have 12 years of care experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, all personality types and all training levels. I typically have a very flexible schedule to accommodate most hours or need. Weekends, weekdays, holidays. I’m here to make sure this is a low stress experience for everyone. I care for my own dogs with daily walks, daily enrichment in the form of play or training time.. and of course, plenty of affection.
About: I have taken care of many types of dogs, doing everything from feeding to walking to giving medicine to my aunt’s senior dog. I have even worked with a sweet blind pupper too!

I have 3 dogs of my own, a black lab, and two pittie mix babes. My husband’s cousin has entrusted us with the care of her pittie doggo while dealing with health issues. My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.
About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest…I will be there too. My other job is driving for Uber and I work that around Pet Sitting so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special friend! I'm not currently available for boarding as my daughter is staying with me and we both have kitties. I like to work my schedule around the pet’s schedule and needs, and provide what each pet is used to on a daily basis - feeding times, medicine administration, sleeping habits, walks, etc.
“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”
“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”
About: Having had dogs since I was born, and my entire life, I've always been the one in my family to teach them (sit, speak, paw, spin) and care for them when no one else is home. I have cared for a range of dog and cat breeds from when they were babies to in their old age. I hope to care for your animals too. I have a dog, I care for it everyday, and I am currently (June 2026) fostering another dog for a couple of weeks while its owner recovers from surgery. I take them on walks daily and play outside with them. We watch tv and sometimes I read to them (it doesn’t last, they get bored of it). As an owner of a dog with a chicken allergy I can understand specific needs, I prefer a more lax and chilled environment and my energy usually gets pets to follow.
About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.
About: I’ve walked and cared for my families dogs and cats since i was young, i’ve always loved animals and having the chance to care for new pets is really fun. im currently working part time, mostly nights so i have a lot of free time during the day and afternoon. im also free every other weekend in my home, i feed my cats twice a day and make sure they are played with and loved on. And unfortunately right now, one of my cats is having tummy issues so i do know how to administer medications if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life. Neighbors and friend have relied on me for years to care for their pets. I worked for a vet while in college assisting in treatment of animals and assisting in surgeries. I also pet sit when clients need extra help. I live volunteering at animal shelters. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Animals of all kinds are absolutely wonderful. I work full time as a 5th grade teacher. I am about to be out for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your wonderful fur babies! In your home, I make sure to follow all your directions for care, feeding and giving meds. I always use a leash or go outside with the fur baby if there is a fenced in yard. I never leave them alone.

“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“Leonardo and Oriana were great with our dog. We got daily pictures and updates. Very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely recommend them and will ve using their service again in the future.”
“I give this lady a 5 star rating... Marshall can be a bit of a handful full he is full of energy. He is still a pup 14 months thinking he's part human.. She sent me pictures of Marshall. He looked very happy! I could enjoy my trip without having to worry about him. I got 2 more trips planned with her in the near future. I would recommend anybody bringing their fur baby here to her and her daughter. Marshall took right to her daughter and her daughter.”
“Francisco was awesome, communication was great and sent pictures! I had a good feeling about leaving my dogs with him! He obviously has a lot of knowledge of dogs and takes care of them! We appreciate him being able to watch them!”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such kind and attentive hands. I really appreciate the time, patience, and love you showed!!! I will be rebooking! Thanks again😊😊😊💕”
“Absolutely awesome. Amber was very kind and attentive taking care of our dog. He is blind and sometimes has potty troubles when in new places. She took that in stride, and when it seemed like his stomach was upset she even made him chicken and rice with pumpkin to help him feel better. Can't say enough! We are so very thankful to her, and her family, welcoming our dog into their home and treating him well.”
“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”
“We left Pepper Poo overnight as a test for an upcoming trip. We were a little afraid that Pepper might misbehave because she was in a new environment with other people but Sarai did a fantastic job engaging her and reported that Pepper did a great job overnight!!! Thanks Sarai!!”
“Lisa went above and beyond when carrying for our pup! She kept us in the loop when he was having stomach issues and was patient with him as he adjusted to a new environment.”
“Amazing!! Seriously so lucky we found Kelly to watch our German Shepard puppy! He was 7 months old, which can be a challenge to take on, but she was extremely communicative, accommodating, and put our mind at ease all week. Our puppy is a little timid around other dogs at first, and she did a wonderful job at getting him comfortable and making it a great experience for him. Would highly recommend her!”
“Cay was completely awesome. Truly exceeded my expectations with the updates, pictures, and videos. He was patient and took excellent care of my boy. Highly recommend Cay! If I could give him 10 stars I would!!”
“I had a bad experience with a previous rover sitter so I was so reluctant to leave my baby but Casey eased all of that! She was extremely attentive with our baby. To the point where she will be my go to whenever I'm in the area and she is available. She was kind, very responsive and really eased all of my concerns. Thank you again for caring for our baby especially during our time of need!”
About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
“Luis was amazing with our rescue dog, Zeus. He has major separation anxiety and hates to be left alone. Luis was so accommodating and gave me updates and pictures of our little guy. We will definitely book Luis again!”
“Kelly was amazing! We reached out last minute to see if she could watch Hamilton, and she didn’t hesitate for a second. She took such great care of him and treated him like one of her own. She was quick to respond, communicative, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
