“Watched my pup for the weekend and he had blast! Great communication and sent pics throughout the weekend, would definitely recommend and will use again when I need a sitter”

“Our pups loved their stay with Karen and Vincent! They sent us daily updates and pictures and treated them like they were their own. Our dogs took to Karen right away and we felt so comfortable leaving them. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone else needing care for their dogs.”

“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”

“Emily was awesome with Daisy! She was responsive, sent updates and photos, and made Daisy feel at home. It was Daisy’s first time, so I was a little nervous, but Emily made me feel super at ease. She was professional, friendly, and kind - I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Alison was great! She sent a lot of updates with pictures and Jasper seemed very cozy ☺️ Jasper only stayed one night this time but we will definitely come back again when we need doggy boarding”

“Lisa and her wonderful family took care of Molly for a week. We had constant updates and pictures and we will definitely used her services again. We would highly recommend her services”

“We feel so confident leaving our pup with Briana while we travel. She is responsive, sends lots of photos, and takes such good care of our boy. She goes above and beyond with her care! We will be rebooking with her for our future travel. Highly recommend!”


“Sarah was great and would definitely recommend her to anyone! She kept me up to date on how our pup was with multiple pictures each day. And Smokey had a great time playing with Lainey! Will definitely be booking with Sarah again in the future.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dylan and Erica!! From the moment we dropped our dog, Dillon off, it felt much more like leaving him at a loving home rather than a boarding facility. He received special attention throughout his stay and was clearly treated like part of the family. They made sure he got plenty of walks and multiple trips to the dog park, which he loved. We also really appreciated the regular photo updates — it was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was every day. They have a great yard and tons of toys, so he was never bored. Honestly, by the time the stay was over, we weren’t even sure Dillon wanted to come home with us. That alone says everything. We couldn’t recommend them more and would absolutely trust them with our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”

“Marisa Was very flexible when I booked a last-minute dog sitting. She took terrific care of Wrigley and kept me updated how he was doing. I would use Marissa again anytime”

“Crystal was just what we were looking for! She was so caring and we knew our puppy would be well taken care of. She sent us pictures/video each day so we could keep in touch and feel at ease that she was doing well. Thank you, Crystal!!!”

“Kelsey was awesome! She was very communicative and sent me so many pictures throughout the weekend. I never had to wonder how Nash was doing. My dog had a blast playing with her sweet pup, Knox, and didn’t want to leave when we picked him up.”

“Stephanie is wonderful! Our puppy Jaxon seemed so happy when we picked him up! Really appreciated all the communication and pictures!! Will definitely rebook!”

“Alicia was great, she communicated up front, made sure she understood the expectations and handled unplanned events which made our time away worry free. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I have worked at a dog rescue for 3 years and a pet store for 2. I have interacted with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other small animals of different temperaments, sizes, and personalities. Many had medical issues that required medication, so I have experience in administering medications orally, topically, and occasionally as an injection. I would be open to caring for those little creatures in addition to your cats and dogs. I have done occasional drop-in pet sitting for a few clients with only cats and dogs, but I would like to expand my pet care services to more clients. On my days off from work, I enjoy hanging out with my dogs and taking them for walks, car rides, or any adventure their noses desire. I would love to give those same adventures to any pups whose parents may need a vacation or just a little extra help getting out some excess energy. I am only able to do drop ins for pet sitting. First, we will greet each other and make sure we are still friends. Then we will get the necessities out of the way: potty, food, water, and of course, treats. I can cater to your pet's needs based on their personality. If we are dealing with pent-up energy, we can go for a walk, play tug-of-war, fetch, whatever your pet likes. If your pet is calmer and just wants company, some belly rubs will do the trick.
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! we loved working with erica! we will be using her for every pet sitting need. she went above and beyond for us this holiday and we are so grateful. she sent so many pictures daily of my babies and updated me on how they were doing. she gave great detail every check in on what they were doing and how they played etc. she truly loved on my babies and it made me feel so much better knowing they were getting all the loves while i was away from them!”

“Chelsea was great and bonded with my 4 cats (some skittish) right away. The feedings went well over my 4 day holiday judging from all the photos Chelsea sent me twice a day. Plus messages from her everyday which made me feel even more secure. I highly recommend Chelsea for all your pet's needs.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for around 30 years. I have both fostered and owned animals as well as watched other. I have owned my dog since she was a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs. I have helped family friends with their older dogs who need help moving around and cannot stay home alone. I have also long term fostered a special needs dog. I am an empty nester and when my children moved out they took their pets. I’ll be able to devote my time and attention to your pets as you need me to. During my previous time pet sitting I have stayed at the owner’s home as well as done 2-3 times a day check ins. When doing these I play by house rules. Crating a dog is not a problem as that is what I do with my own. I have pet sat for people who do and do not crate their animals.

“Caitlyn has been watching my cat for a while now, and she’s absolutely my go-to pet sitter—hands down the best! She always replies to texts promptly, provides regular updates, and follows instructions perfectly. Her work ethic is outstanding, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for with Caitlyn!”
“Kate took excellent care of our senior cat while we were away for the weekend. She followed all directions that were left, kept us updated, and was prompt to respond to messages. We appreciate her attention to detail and the extra love she gave to our old girl. We will be booking Kate again in the future and highly recommend her to others.”

“Lauren was the perfect sitter/caretaker while we attended two destination weddings. She was available to meet in person to go over care details for our kitty and always showed up for the designated care schedule on time. She gave detailed updates every day and this helped ensure our kitty got the check-ins and new food she needed. Lauren gave us peace of mind and we knew our kitty was on the best of hands! We will definitely rebook with Lauren for future care!”


“We are so happy with the great job Luam did checking in on our cat. He loved on her while we were gone and sent us the greatest updates so we weren't worried. We will definitely schedule him again.”


“Ignacio took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures and updates to let us know how they were doing and we came back to very happy doggies. Will definitely reach out to her again if I need someone to care for the dogs while I'm out of town.”

“Valari was very responsive and attentive! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her again next time we have a trip!”

“David and Johanna did a wonderful job with our cats. I know the cats were well cared for seemed very happy when we returned. They also brought in delivered packages which was very helpful. We will definitely rebook! Thank you!”

About: I have had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters, which has given me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I have also watched my neighbors' dogs for the past six years, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. In addition, I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, patience, and loving care. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and my kids are in school during the day, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. After dropping my kids off at school, I'm generally available from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention and companionship. While I do pick my kids up from school and attend some after-school activities, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, loving care throughout the day. In my home, I care for a two-year-old Goldendoodle, a pink toe tarantula, and fish, so I'm experience with caring for different of pets and their individual needs. My dog gets daily walks, is fed twice a day, and enjoys treats, regular grooming, and plenty of playtime both indoors and outdoors. I make sure all of my pets receive lots of attention, exercise, and loving care every day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normals routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and safe. I have watched my neighbor's' dogs on many occasions while they were on vacation or away for weekends. During those times, I visited their home about four times a day to walk, feed, play with, and give attention to their dogs. I also cared for their fish by feeding them and checking on them during each visit. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and love.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Willow Spring
“Lucy had a wonderful play date with Alex and her pups! Alex is great to communicate with, and it was helpful to do a meet and greet to ensure all the doggies got along (they did). Appreciated the pics and video updates during her stay!”

“First and best experience with a pet sitter! I’ll always have her watch my pups, she treats them like her own family! My doggies are well cared for and I feel mentally at ease.”

“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”

“Dylan is really good with dogs. Everything you'd want for a dog sitter! My dog immediately liked him and I could tell he was really cared and had fun while we were gone. Dylan kept us updated with pictures and commutes very well. It was great. I'll definitely check with him first for our future needs. Highly recommended!”

“Kate has taken care of my puppy twice now and she is amazing! She sent picture updates and he just looked so happy to be there. Kate is so sweet, responsive, and I'd trust her with my pup again!”

“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”

“Tania took excellent care of Rooster! She even happily agreed to watch her four hours earlier than my expected drop off when something came up! I will definitely book her the next time I am in Raleigh and in need of doggy day care!”

“What a great experience with Martine and her husband. They obviously made Bryce feel welcomed in their home … as by the second day he went straight to her front door and didn’t look back while I was leaving. Also want to “shout out” her willingness to be a bit flexible with the schedule … (I was meeting a friend locally and wanted to be able to enjoy Raleigh for dinner (which was awesome at The Plate). This pet sitting experience enhanced my visit to Raleigh !!!”

“David and Stephanie were great hosts to take care of our dog. They kept us updated throughout her stay. Greatly appreciate all you have done for our dog. I would recommend them if you are looking for a great family to take care of your pet.”

About: Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!! I currently work from home 4 days a week but work right in Fuquay on the 1 day I am in the office. My son is currently in preschool 5 days a week and my daughter in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus so just twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise more than able to walk between 9am and 3pm. But message me if times needed outside of that range and can definitely help out! I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I will not be offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!
“We loveeeee Amber!! She takes great care of our pup, Winston. Amber is always on time, she walks for the full 30 minutes and she always sends me a bunch of photos. It makes my day! She is even thoughtful enough to dry Winston off if it’s raining and bring packages inside. We can always count on her and we feel so lucky to have her as our go-to walker! Thanks Amber!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.
About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.
About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs throughout my life, to include breeds of all varieties. I’ve cared for and helped others care for their special needs pups, rescues, and seniors and actual puppies. I’m currently laid off and trying to fill my time with some furry snuggles! I have plenty of spare time in between carpooling kids around. I can care for your pets in your home, to suit the needs of your fur baby. Play time, walks, and meal times are all available.
About: I don't remember at time that I didn't have a dog as a companion. They've always been a part of my family. Currently I have a long haired Chihuahua at home. Joey is 11 years old and going strong. Until this past April, I also had a miniature poodle that was named Shadow. Shadow and I were best friends for 17 years until he passed from old age. During his lifetime, Shadow was able to travel to The Bahamas and to Canada with me. I loved being with him. I know how hard it is to leave a pet behind, wondering if they're ok. It's important that you know they're well taken care of when you're away. I'll take care of them like they're my own.

About: I’ve had pets of different breeds and species since I was a child, I am 30 now! I have experience administering medications both oral and subcutaneous. Before moving to NC, I pet sit for my friends and family! I currently work full time but I work mainly early morning shifts, so I can make time for drop ins after work most days! I can also do a drop in on my lunch break if located close enough I have a fenced in yard and both of my dogs are crate trained! I have two cats who use an automatic litterbox as well!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and reptiles for over three years, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their individual personality. I have hands-on experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight care, feeding, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather spend the evening relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. 🐾 My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are getting plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I’m currently enrolled in a hybrid college program, with in-person classes only two days a week and the rest of my coursework completed online. This gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s usual routine, whether you need occasional care while you’re away or more regular walks and drop-in visits. My online coursework also allows me to plan my schedule around my pet care commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care requirements you provide. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during visits, walks, and overnight stays, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect and make sure everything is secure when I arrive and leave.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and know how to take great care of your canine❤️ I will give your dog plenty of exercise and love! I’m home for the summer and have lots of time on my hands! I’d be happy to stop by multiple times a day if needed. I have a large fenced yard, a well behaved dog to keep your furry friend company and plenty of space to run and play! There is also a pool if your dog likes to swim!

Whether you need drop-in visits, in-home care, or a safe space for your pet to stay, I’ve got you covered. I currently share my home with two cats and one dog and I have a setup that allows for separate or shared spaces, depending on your pet’s needs.

Whether you’re heading out for the day or planning a longer trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for. Let’s talk about how I can help you and your furry family members! 📅 Flexible Schedule Pet care is a structured part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around client visits, feedings, medications, and enrichment to ensure consistent, dependable care throughout the week. I provide attentive, individualized care based on each pet’s routine, temperament, and needs, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in theirs. In my home: Pets are welcomed into a safe, calm, pet-friendly environment where their comfort and routine are a priority. I offer structured feeding times, supervised outdoor play, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention. My home allows for separate or shared spaces, which is especially helpful for pets who need quiet time, slower introductions, or reduced stress. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and can administer medications as needed. In client’s home: I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress. Care includes feeding, fresh water, litter or waste cleanup, walks or outdoor time, play and enrichment, companionship, and medication administration if required. I also monitor health and behavior, provide updates, and ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. In both settings, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Whether you have 1 pet or multiple pets. They will be well loved and cared for. Walks and play time are my specialty.
About: I have always made fast friends with other animals easily and joyfully. Pets really are the greatest gift and I only ever hope to live up to that by providing patience, fun, kindness, and thoughtful care-taking! I have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for over 20 years. I take pride in providing the best care possible, being fully present to an animal and their needs, and providing the peace of mind to you that I would want when away from my pets. With pets of my own, I know what it is like to find someone who you truly trust and feel comfortable with - I hope to be that person. I have a flexible hybrid telework schedule that allows me to be available for care-taking around your pets' schedule needs. I will have the utmost respect for your pet and instructions. As for house-sitting, my husband takes care of all our animals so that I can be fully present to stay with yours! I am open and honest and will be available for any more information you would like to know! Thanks for considering me to take care of your precious friends. My work schedule is flexible and I work from home most days. On the days I go into the office, I am not gone for extended hours. I have plenty of time and availability for morning, mid-day, and evening pet care during the week. On weekends, morning play time is always extended, as is snuggle time, and longer walks if the weather allows - but we always spend a ton of time in the backyard, unless our guest prefers naptime on the couch. I take pet care seriously, especially with other people's pets. I treat the animals with the same respect I treat my own, and how I would want someone else to take care of mine. I want the pets I care for to feel safe and happy, and barely miss their owners. That means I am very intentional about their physical as well their emotional needs. And, honestly, I get so much joy meeting new pets and hanging out with them that I want the pets to feel the same way about me. I will follow their normal schedule for feeding, walking, and anything else you ask as part of their routine. I am also very communicative while taking care of your pet(s)! I will check in with you everyday to provide at least a picture and any updates. I take a ton of photos, and love to share those! I am also always available for you to reach out anytime and respond quickly. When it comes to your home, you will not even know I was there, except your pets are happy and well-tended to :). For boarding requests, we have two very friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats, they all really do get along and we like to keep a calm and harmonious house! Our dogs will play if the our guest wants to, and our cats are very gracious hosts :). We only board one dog at a time. Please do not reach out if your dog is not (small) dog and cat friendly, thank you! (Our previous dog, RIP, is still listed here, she passed recently and I cannot bring myself to delete her profile yet...)

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dylan and Erica!! From the moment we dropped our dog, Dillon off, it felt much more like leaving him at a loving home rather than a boarding facility. He received special attention throughout his stay and was clearly treated like part of the family. They made sure he got plenty of walks and multiple trips to the dog park, which he loved. We also really appreciated the regular photo updates — it was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was every day. They have a great yard and tons of toys, so he was never bored. Honestly, by the time the stay was over, we weren’t even sure Dillon wanted to come home with us. That alone says everything. We couldn’t recommend them more and would absolutely trust them with our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha did incredible with Kevin and made sure to keep me posted on his care! I work a lot of long shifts as a nurse and she did a great job making sure Kevin felt loved and played with during those days!! Kevin came home a happy camper. Definitely recommend her!!”

“Marisa Was very flexible when I booked a last-minute dog sitting. She took terrific care of Wrigley and kept me updated how he was doing. I would use Marissa again anytime”

“Kelsey was awesome! She was very communicative and sent me so many pictures throughout the weekend. I never had to wonder how Nash was doing. My dog had a blast playing with her sweet pup, Knox, and didn’t want to leave when we picked him up.”

“We know we don’t have to worry at all when we leave Grayson with Jonathan and Mary because he is going to be well cared for. Taking a trip is so much easier when we know our dog is in good hands.”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”


“We are SO grateful for Gina! Two months before a trip of ours, our 2-y/o German shepherd mix started showing concerning behaviors associated with anxiety and fear. We’ve been working with a behavioralist but had an international trip planned. We chose not to leave our pup with family in order to keep her separated from other dogs as we address her behavior. We found Gina on Rover and we’re so glad we did. Gina kept us up to date while we were away and demonstrated a commitment to Olive’s wellbeing and helping us to work with her on her behaviors on walks, etc. Olive had such a good time during her 9-day stay with Gina and we felt so comfortable leaving her there. We hope to book with Gina again in the future!”

“This was Daisy’s first boarding with Tracey and we could not be more pleased. She went out of her way to make Daisy feel welcome and safe. Our Goldendoodle got plenty of exercise, outdoor and indoor play and quiet time. We also received photos every day, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be back!”

“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!”

“Boh had such a great stay with Alexandria! We loved all the updates we got during his stay and felt he was in great hands. She was very easy to communicate with and overall would highly recommend!”
