About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 1/2 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 1/2 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. Boarding Notes: I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! House Sitting Notes: I am more than happy to pack up and come stay at your home to watch your dog(s)! My only condition is that I would need to bring my two dogs with me for the house sitting stay. If this is something you would not allow, I will not be able to house sit for you. If you are open to this, we can discuss more about rules/regulations if I were to house sit for you to make sure you are fully comfortable with me and my two dogs staying in your home once you submit the request! Drop In Notes: I am happy to do drop in's to care for your dogs, instead of boarding them at my house. For drop in's, I would stop by 1 or 2 times each day for a length of time you request to play and care for your dogs. I would not stay overnight. I do this for families that would prefer their dogs stay in their own environment and not get boarded. You should only book this if your dog(s) can go 12 hours or more without a bathroom break. If your dog(s) cannot do that, I would strongly encourage you to board your dogs with me or request I house sit - either way I would make sure they are very comfortable and safe. I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term boarding, drop ins, house sitting - plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! My services are worth the investment so you have peace of mind! If you are interested in my services, put a request in so we can plan everything out. I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

About: I love to care for dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 4 years old. I have friends and family asked and relied on me to walk, feed, and/or bathe their pets. I’m a retired veteran, so I’m fortunate enough to have the time to attend and care to your fur babies’ needs. I’ll be able to visit your pet anytime of the week with a proper notice. I can visit your home to care for your pet. I’ll be able to take them on walks or dog parks. I also have a personal companion dog (morkie) that can provide a perfect playmate.
“Charlize was great!! She did good communicating with me and she will reach out if she was concerned about anything. Very welcoming and definitely will be back to book with her!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and I consider them family. I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years through pet sitting, fostering, and caring for my own pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and routines. I can also administer medications when needed. I work from home full-time, which means your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m able to provide potty breaks and attention at least every 2 hours throughout the day, along with plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I’m also available for drop-in visits at your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own space. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I work from home full time so I have the ability to let your pets out frequently. I also have a dog of my own so I can work her routine into that of your dog. I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks. I can also arrange for leashed walks in the neighborhood. All dogs are family to me so I do allow them on the furniture (if the owner approves) and I prefer crate training when I leave the house to make sure all dogs are safe.
“Kayla was great with our baby dog Champ ♥️ she took such good care of him and I was definitely a nervous puppy mom that left tons of instructions as he needed boarding while he was still learning potty training, walking, and teething. She did awesome with all that welcomed any specifics I wanted for him and he came back home with his training not only still in tact but better all around with those. She did fantastic! And sent lots of photos of cuddles ? I was comfortable with him in her care and been so pleased with Champs behavior and habits she helped sharpen after picking him up. 100% would recommend. Thanks again Kayla! I’m so glad We chose you!”
“Thank you so much for the last minute bookings and my puppies were so energetic and loving when I got them back I will be using your services again . Also thanks for grooming them for me I didn’t even know you were so good at grooming I will tip you extra for the doggy haircuts thank you”
“Jeneen was attentive. She spoke very kindly to Ruby and Lizzy and encouraged them to eat and play. We got pictures and videos at each visit and she wasn’t in a rush but spent time with them. when I introduced Lizzy to Jeneen Lizzy hissed at her so during our time away, she allowed our Lizzy the space needed to warm up to her. By the end of the time, Lizzy was coming to Jeneen when called. Thank you for your care for our girls!”

About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
About: I've taken care of large and small animals all my life, I grew up taking care of my aunt's horses with her, and I've pet sat and house sat for the past couple of years and have been very successful. I am no longer a college student so my schedule is way more open! I love all animals small or large! I am currently looking for a part-time job, I will always be available on the weekends and I should be available in the mornings and late mornings almost every day. I have a big fenced-in backyard, and I own two friendly dogs and an indoor-outdoor cat that stays away from most people and other dogs who come to visit so there is no worry about him if you're worried about your animal around cats.
“Samantha is punctual and always gives our girl special care. We get lots of pictures and she is very communicative if she has any concerns. Our Ruby sometimes stops eating the first day we are away, and Samantha watches her closely to ensure she is at ease during the visit. Thank you Samantha!”
“Sam has been a phenomenal sitter! I had to reach out to her with very short notice and she had such a quick response. Even with the short notice, Sam was so eager to help me and take care of Max when she could. She kept me very updated of what was going on with max through messages and pictures several times each day. Sam has been great, I’d surely recommend her as I’ll be using her if I need a sitter again!”
“Always provides very timely and lovely updates with lots of pictures. While our cat is very shy, she was nonetheless comfortable exploring and eating with Nicole around, which says a lot about what a calm, caring person she is with animals. Great communication and very helpful in so many ways.”
About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet environment and gentle attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your cat can relax and receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Having volunteered with animal shelters and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a low-stress environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!

We are so thankful to have found someone who is truly dedicated to making sure our pets are safe and happy while we’re away.”
“I would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She is professional, reliable, and attentive to animals. She did a wonderful job cat sitting my two cats. She also communicated with me frequently to let me know how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”

“We absolutely love and adore Kayla! We had to find someone last minute to watch over our pup, and she came through! We were able to meet her and have the booking all within 24 hours. Our pup is also quite nervous around new people, very “stranger danger” mode - but he warmed up to Kayla and even snuggled with her during his naps, which is a huge step for him. We got pictures throughout the day and they were the cutest! They had so much fun with each other it really put us at ease to know that he was enjoying himself and that he was in good hands. Cocomelon will definitely be seeing her more often!”

About: I've owned dogs my whole life, I know the pain of loosing a furry companion. But all of that learning in my life has taught me that we don't deserve pets, they love us, unconditionally. So let's do the same! I am open all summer! I can definitely make time overnight on the weekdays and weekends! I don't mind staying late with your pups or cats! I care for them as if they were my own, you can't force a dog to like or trust you. You have to earn that trust, once you do, it's beautiful.

Because of that, I’m confident that I would be a great fit for you and your wonderful pet/pets. I am comfortable handling any size pets as well as any breed. I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur baby’s behind whether that be for a couple hours or a couple days I would absolutely love to spend time with and love on your pets!! I’m currently a full time online student studying Business Marketing & I work with animals! I would love to spend my free time with your pets. When caring for your pets, I will follow any care instructions that you provide for me. I have owned animals my whole life and I’m very confident in my handling skills.
“We are very excited to have Nicole care for our dog while we are at work/school! He is usually nervous around new people but has warned right up. I know they’ll be great pals, and it brings me such peace of mind!”
About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
About: I have worked with Anna’s Angels doggy day care (4 years) & unleashed (2years). I have also had a variety of animals in my life. Animals are loving and caring, you just have to be patient with them. I have experience with grooming maintenance and health care aid as well. I treat all animals like family, Yes!! I allow all pets on my couches, bed , furniture (etc). I’m a a college student studying to get my degree in psychology. This has left me with a lot of free time. I tend to just dog sit my sisters 2 miniature pinscher‘s but I was introduced to Rover and with my love for animals I thought we’d be a great fit. Usually I’d assist with grooming, walks/play time, cleaning of feeding bowls, cages/beds area, refilling food/water or any special request that is needed at the time.
About: I have had dogs my whole life ranging from 175 to 50 pounds. My family also breeds dogs so I’m comfortable with all ages. I have dog sat for numerous family and friends and love all animals so your pet will get treated as if they were my own. I’ve also took care of dogs that take medication, are on special diets. I have a full time job but I make my own schedule so I will base that off of my schedule with rover. Pets will be well taken care of and took on walks. If your pet is more laid back and likes to lay around all day then we will do that. If your pet has a lot of energy and like to run the we can do that as well. I have plenty of yard for your pet/pets to play. I currently don’t have any other animals in the house and am waiting for my puppy to be born! Your pet will be allowed on furniture unless that is a rule you have then I will not go against it. I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and crates if needed.
About: Hi! I’m Emarie, and I'd love to meet you and your pet! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable pet owner who knows how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, medications, walks, bedtime routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. I am available most weekends and weekdays daytime early morning, lunch time and evenings after 5pm! I work on Six Forks in Raleigh, NC and am flexible in and out of office Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to help keep your pet safe.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

“She was professional and sent photos when I asked. She is a true dog lover. I was nervous because I never left my babies for such a long period of time. She made it an easy transition for them and for me. Well most definitely use her services again.”
“Everything went great! Brian was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. It’s always nice to get a vacation knowing your pet is in safe hands. Thanks again Brian!!”
“Randi is the best!! Henry had the best time with Randi. She took excellent care of him while our family was out of town. She sent pictures and updates every day. We have already rebooked her and I give her 5 Stars plus❤️”
“I absolutely loved having Eris stay with her! I would definitely choose her again. She has a wonderful amount of space for the dogs to play and feel comfortable. She followed all of our instructions regarding Eris’s food and medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. I also loved seeing how well her dog and Eris got along.they became great friends! 🥰 I highly recommend her and would definitely trust her with Eris again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 1/2 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 1/2 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. Boarding Notes: I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! House Sitting Notes: I am more than happy to pack up and come stay at your home to watch your dog(s)! My only condition is that I would need to bring my two dogs with me for the house sitting stay. If this is something you would not allow, I will not be able to house sit for you. If you are open to this, we can discuss more about rules/regulations if I were to house sit for you to make sure you are fully comfortable with me and my two dogs staying in your home once you submit the request! Drop In Notes: I am happy to do drop in's to care for your dogs, instead of boarding them at my house. For drop in's, I would stop by 1 or 2 times each day for a length of time you request to play and care for your dogs. I would not stay overnight. I do this for families that would prefer their dogs stay in their own environment and not get boarded. You should only book this if your dog(s) can go 12 hours or more without a bathroom break. If your dog(s) cannot do that, I would strongly encourage you to board your dogs with me or request I house sit - either way I would make sure they are very comfortable and safe. I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term boarding, drop ins, house sitting - plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! My services are worth the investment so you have peace of mind! If you are interested in my services, put a request in so we can plan everything out. I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!
About: I have started dog sitting for dogs 3 years ago it's a wonderful experience. I still have the first dog I ever dog sit the owner coudnt take care of him. So I also have a trained dog that cares for dogs with me to so the other dogs see the example of my skills through my dog Murphy. I'm a fun loving women who loves dogs making sure their cared have fun doing it. I make sure they are on a regular routine by what the owner saids. I have a dog of my own and know when its time to eat , play and use the bathroom and show love I make sure I provide what they need. I follow what the owner gives me information about them. Let them play and enjoy themselves so they will feel comfortable
“Charlize was great!! She did good communicating with me and she will reach out if she was concerned about anything. Very welcoming and definitely will be back to book with her!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and I consider them family. I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years through pet sitting, fostering, and caring for my own pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and routines. I can also administer medications when needed. I work from home full-time, which means your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m able to provide potty breaks and attention at least every 2 hours throughout the day, along with plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I’m also available for drop-in visits at your home if your pet is more comfortable in their own space. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I work from home full time so I have the ability to let your pets out frequently. I also have a dog of my own so I can work her routine into that of your dog. I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks. I can also arrange for leashed walks in the neighborhood. All dogs are family to me so I do allow them on the furniture (if the owner approves) and I prefer crate training when I leave the house to make sure all dogs are safe.
“Kayla was great with our baby dog Champ ♥️ she took such good care of him and I was definitely a nervous puppy mom that left tons of instructions as he needed boarding while he was still learning potty training, walking, and teething. She did awesome with all that welcomed any specifics I wanted for him and he came back home with his training not only still in tact but better all around with those. She did fantastic! And sent lots of photos of cuddles ? I was comfortable with him in her care and been so pleased with Champs behavior and habits she helped sharpen after picking him up. 100% would recommend. Thanks again Kayla! I’m so glad We chose you!”
“Thank you so much for the last minute bookings and my puppies were so energetic and loving when I got them back I will be using your services again . Also thanks for grooming them for me I didn’t even know you were so good at grooming I will tip you extra for the doggy haircuts thank you”
“Jeneen was attentive. She spoke very kindly to Ruby and Lizzy and encouraged them to eat and play. We got pictures and videos at each visit and she wasn’t in a rush but spent time with them. when I introduced Lizzy to Jeneen Lizzy hissed at her so during our time away, she allowed our Lizzy the space needed to warm up to her. By the end of the time, Lizzy was coming to Jeneen when called. Thank you for your care for our girls!”
“Sam was truly amazing with my dog, Oscar. She always updated with pictures and provided insight into his mood, eating, and activities they did. Will definitely be rebooking with Sam!”
