Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wood
“Danielle was amazing! Incredible communication and pictures every day! Highly recommend! I definitely would book again with Danielle. Thank you so much for taking care of Buzz 😊”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone and leaving her in Shekenia’s care was the best decision I could’ve made! I honestly don’t see myself leaving my dog with anyone else other than Shekenia because she’s just that dang good! I received daily updates and photos which I loveddd! I knew from the moment we met to do the drop off that I made the right choice. Her energy was everything and I knew my baby would be in great hands! 10/10 recommend!! Shekenia is the BEST!”
“Melissa was great with King! She sent lots of pictures, had great communication and accommodated him with care. I could tell he was well taken care of. Would definitely book again! :)”
“Valerie is amazing with our fur babies. She is and has always has been our 1st choice for 4+ years. On this recent visit, our elderly fur baby was not feeling well. Valerie was quick to notify us (we were out of the country)...and after a visit to the vet, he returned to Valerie. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby!!”
“Mitzi was great! Our dog had so much fun at her house. It was so nice to get little updates and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Sharon took excellent care of our puppy. She sent many updates and videos of how well our puppy was adjusting to the new environment, so we definitely felt at ease. We all had an enjoyable long weekend thanks to Sharon!”
“We could not be more thrilled with Jeremy and Lauren! After the "pet resort" we were planning to board our sweet girl Lexie at turned out to be more kennel than resort, we reached out to Jeremy and Lauren about watching Lexie over the Thanksgiving holiday. They were very amenable to us coming by before booking to see how Lexie would do with their dogs (spoiler alert: she loved them!) and for us to see their space. It was the longest we'd ever left our girl before, and they kindly answered any and every question these nervous pet-parents had. When it came time to drop her off, she was having so much fun in their backyard she didn't notice we were gone. While out of town, Jeremy sent a photo everyday and it was clear that Lexie was having a blast. Which meant we were able to enjoy our vacation WAY MORE than I expected!! My mom was actually picking Lexie up, and arranging that was easy. Lexie came home happy but worn out from playing non-stop during her stay. Can not say enough wonderful things about Jeremy and Lauren. They care for your pets like their own. Will use them again... and again... and again... anytime we need somewhere for Lexie to stay. Our only concern: Lexie will end up liking their house more than ours!!”
“Selected Lorraine based upon her outstanding reviews. She did not disappoint. While I was getting my college freshmen settled, her fur baby, Sophie had to be left behind. Lorraine provided updates throughout the trip. Great sitter.”
“Suzanne and her family are ideal Rover sitters--so welcoming, caring, and communicative. We received frequent updates and pictures of our dog while we were away, and were thankful to have found such a kind and responsible family to care for Roux while we traveled. We plan to book with Suzanne again!”
“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.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“Meredith was so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Our dogs had their extra special holiday separation anxiety and Meredith was so sweet and caring to them. She really took time to ensure they were settling in as well as possible and kept in contact with us about their behavior.”
“I got multiple updates each day with photos. My dog had a wonderful time! Vanessa is extremely professional, loving, and obviously cares a lot about what she does. I could not have been happier with my experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Carol is so amazing with our dogs, is so friendly, reliable, and experienced. Her property is beautiful and our pets always come back happy, tuckered out, and super well taken care of! Thank you Carol!”
“Wrigley didn’t want to leave! He had SO MUCH fun running in their huge fenced in backyard! Elizabeth’s dogs are so well behaved and socialized I feel like it helped Wrigley learn to socialize a little better too. They were so good with sending updates . It is such a relief to know we can travel and Wrigley will be well-loved and cared for! We will definitely use Elizabeth again, thank you!”

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.

I have my daughter every other week and I have a dog that can be kept completely separate if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys that are okay to be beaten up. Gates in-house to control pet location. Allowed to get on furniture and bed. We have a big comfy dog bed as well. Two litter boxes are available. Just ask that you bring food, any special toy, litter for cats, and any medicines. I have two tie-out leads for dogs and a shady backyard that is fenced in. Our neighborhood is quiet and great for walks. I usually board at my home in Nashville (Near Rocky Mount and Spring Hope) but I also have a location in Raleigh that is also a big home with a large backyard and two separate floors. For sitting, I would likely stay with the pet most of the day as I work remotely.I do require high-speed internet access and preferably a decent work desk area. I will work on any behavioral issues that I see in the time that I have. Let me know if you have a question! I work from home and typically do boarding in either Raleigh or Nashville, NC.

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 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 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. 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! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays 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! 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!
“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.”

About: I have been around dogs literally my whole life. I don't remember a time since I was born that I didn't have a dog. From sleeping on our pit bull as a toddler to rescuing a shelter baby to keep me company at college dogs have been an amazing part of my story. I'd even like to think that because of my fur babies I was more prepared to taken on the new journey of becoming a parent of an amazing little girl. Because of these experiences, I have learned many things about not only catering to a variety of personalities, but being creative in entertainment and time management. With these skills and all the added free time I have now that my daughter has started school I can assure you that not only will I be easily accessible for your needs, but I will make sure that you and your pet are sure to have a comfortable and enjoyable time using my services.
“Thank you for agreeing to care for Kodi during my emergency situation. I really appreciate what you did for me very much. Of course he enjoyed as usual and especially meeting a new play pal in daycare.”
“Athena was in her element - running, playing, and enjoying the companionship of her canine relatives! What a special day and place for Athena to spend time being a ‘puppy’ with such joy. Thank you Melissa”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet lover. I’m a vet student in the making. Caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s part of my future career. I take the time to really get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s helping a puppy burn off energy and learn basic manners, or giving a senior pet the extra patience, comfort, and gentle care they deserve. Because I’m passionate about animal health, I pay close attention to things like eating habits, energy levels, and behavior changes, so I can spot if something seems off and communicate that to owners right away. I’m also comfortable handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs.nFor me, pet sitting isn’t just “watching” animals it’s making sure they’re safe, happy, and thriving, while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. Pet care is something I fit naturally into my day. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or some playtime to make sure pets start the day happy and active. If I have classes, I plan my schedule so I can come by for potty breaks, belly rubs, and some one on one time in between. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks, heading to a park, or just spending time playing or relaxing together. Weekends are perfect for extra adventures like exploring trails, visiting pet-friendly spots, or giving them some extra grooming and attention. For me, pets aren’t something I try to “fit in” around my day they’re part of it. I love making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need, no matter how busy my schedule gets. Whether in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I pay close attention to a pet’s personality, habits, and routines so I can adapt my care to their comfort level, whether that means providing a quiet, calm environment for shy pets or engaging in active play for more energetic ones. I also make it a point to send regular updates, photos, and notes to owners so they feel reassured and connected while they’re away. In my own home, I designate safe areas for rest, play, and meals, and I make sure fresh water is always available. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely everything from where the pet sleeps to how they like their walks so the pet’s routine is not disrupted. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, cared for, and happy, no matter the environment.
“Skirla (aka Sorel) is great! Sushi normally barks and growls at everyone but not her! I feel comfortable leaving my baby with her for my week long vacation and will book again when the need arises.”
“Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.”
About: Dog momma experienced with training (no-pull walking, basic manners), all cat and small animal care, giving medications, and volunteering in shelters. 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. We can welcome your dog in our home for boarding or daycare, or I can care for your dog, cat, or barnyard or small animal in yours for short visits, walks, feedings etc. We have a large shade and sun fenced yard, and a single level home that revolves around dog care. Plenty of clean space, toys, mini pool, and good walking routes. I can care for your pet in your home if reasonably accessible to me.
“Kerri and her husband are amazing dog sitters. They sent me pictures and videos during the day and I could see that Ollie had a great time. I highly recommend Kerri and will bring Ollie back when I need another doggy day care.”
“Charles is truly a dog person! He takes the time to get to know them and rolls with the punches (or should I say barks, especially in my dogs case!). He’s very caring with the dogs and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog there, and since she’s a rescue it was her first time going to a place like this. I highly recommend Charles and Wag N wheels. Great people and great facility!”
About: I love all animals, I’ve dog sit in the past for families and really enjoyed it. I have prior experience with small dogs, along with larger ones. I’m looking for openings in the Louisburg area. Looking forward to have the opportunity to work with different animals and meeting new people in the area. I believe you have to be patient with all animals and pets especially when you are first meeting them. Always keeping in mind that it’s going to take time for them to warm up to a new person caring for them. I’m currently taking a break from nannying, and have a huge love for animals. I’ve had pets all my life. From cats, fish, hamsters, and dogs; to birds, snakes, iguanas and bearded dragons! I’m excited and can’t wait to meet your pets!! :) Being respectful of people’s homes, personal spaces and overall privacy. My main focus is the well being of the animal, making sure they’re taken care of.

I was very apprehensive with placing him in day care this is his first experience, she puts my mind at ease with all the photos and communication throughout the day.”

“Jennifer just became our daily walker for Finn. He's a 5 month old puppy with lots of playful energy and she has been great with him!! She sends me 5-6 super cute photos everyday, brings water on the walk with them, teaches him how to walk well on a leash, and makes sure he gets love and is comfortable before she leaves. Jennifer clearly loves dogs and is developing a great relationship with our pup. She has brought in boxes from our porch a few times and always keeps in the loop with anything going on at our house. It's been such a pleasure! I will continue to book her for Finn's daily walks. It's such great piece of mind knowing he's in good hands.”
“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 have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. NC State animal science graduate with 13 years of small animal GP experience. I’m currently working part time so I am flexible with my schedule and I can be available to pet sit/house sit, offer playtime and walk dogs.

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.

I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.
“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”
About: We live with two beautiful pups and grew up with both dogs, cats, and even horses and livestock. Our experience with all is plentiful. Pets especially love our friendly nature, kind voice, and active lifestyle for a robust playtime. My husband and I currently work remotely full time, which has given us the ability to pet-sit for friends and family locally and even in different states! When I lived in NYC I walked up to six dogs at a time for about a year. We have a fenced yard for playtime, a sidewalk and dog park for walks and playtime. There is no food or trash to accidentally get into as everything is made to be pet safe.
About: I have been lucky enough to care for, look after, love, walk, feed, play with, and overall enjoy animals for my whole life. I have always lived with dogs and I have been sitting for cats since I was a teenager. I’d be happy to lend a hand to make sure your furry family member is more comfortable and content while you’re away. I am very flexible with both my work and personal schedules, so I can typically fit requests into my day, no problem. Each day is different, of course, but I am happy to work with you to make care for your pet happen when you need it to. I pride myself on the high level of care and attention I give to my pets, and that level will be just as high for yours. All I need is clear instruction and info on your pet, and whatever you need to have happen will happen. I’m a private person, and I respect yours as well, so when I am in someone else’s home I apply a leave-no-trace policy.
About: I have rescued 4 cats and 1 dog and a ton of experience watching both. I have experience administering meds and with older dogs. Something that makes me stand out is, I am a super social and approachable person who is also good with making people feel at ease. Why I love dog sitting I have been around dogs and cats since I was an infant. My experience administering medication Yes. I administer HW pills and flea medication to my dogs and have experience in ear meds. I have an open schedule so the pet schedule is my priority. Prefer to keep it as close to your own schedule when home as normal. Currently not offering boarding in my own home as we have 4 cats. I will update if that changes in the future on this profile.
About: I bring lifelong experience in canine care, beginning in childhood and continuing through the present. I currently care for five dogs and have extensive hands-on experience managing multiple dogs at once, including the care of three litters and several additional dogs in the past. I am available seven days a week with flexible hours. At this time, I am seeking a position that offers flexibility rather than a full-time commitment, and I am eager to pursue work that aligns with my experience and interests. If needed, I am able to safely crate your dog or place them in a designated area. I am experienced in handling dogs that are uncomfortable walking on a leash and can manage them calmly and confidently. I also ensure that all basic needs are met before departure, including providing food and fresh water.
About: I have owned pets my whole life. Currently have 2 foster pups, one which has special needs. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, and even currently have ducks! So nothing is new for me! I have a fenced in yard with access’s to water while outside and plenty of shade trees to take a rest and or a nap! I currently have an open schedule, so I am available at any time. I have time for walks or drop ins! Dog park time so your pup can socialize if that's something you are comforable with. I have a fenced in front and back yard and I have dog friendly pups so your baby won't be bored while in my care.
About: I have a long history in working with animals and I have a lot of clients that I actively petsit for. I have worked with diabetic dogs, puppies, seniors, cats/kittens, special needs and aggressive breeds. I am highly trained and have a great relationship with animals. I have had pets in my care for over 10 years. I have a very outgoing personality so I get along extremely well with animals. I am very reliable, honest and punctual. Your pets and home are in the best possible care with me. I currently work from home, therefore I am able to give my animals and other animals the high amount of attention they need. Sticking to a routine comes naturally as I am extremely flexible in my stay at home job. I love making time for the fur babies. I make sure food, water, toys, attention and exercise are priorities. It is important to ensure a proper routine is followed. I love giving animals my love and attention as they are just like people. My guaranteed promise to my clients is that your pets will be well taken care of.
About: I have an experience with taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. My neighbors, family, friends have depended on me to walk and feed and stay with their pets! I am available during the week and the weekends. I am normally very flexible with anyone’s schedule and availability. I can normally fit anyone into my schedule. I am available to take your dogs to parks so they can run and play. I set out times in my day to make sure to get all the exercise they need!

“Melissa was great with King! She sent lots of pictures, had great communication and accommodated him with care. I could tell he was well taken care of. Would definitely book again! :)”
“Valerie is amazing with our fur babies. She is and has always has been our 1st choice for 4+ years. On this recent visit, our elderly fur baby was not feeling well. Valerie was quick to notify us (we were out of the country)...and after a visit to the vet, he returned to Valerie. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby!!”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Sharon took excellent care of our puppy. She sent many updates and videos of how well our puppy was adjusting to the new environment, so we definitely felt at ease. We all had an enjoyable long weekend thanks to Sharon!”
“We could not be more thrilled with Jeremy and Lauren! After the "pet resort" we were planning to board our sweet girl Lexie at turned out to be more kennel than resort, we reached out to Jeremy and Lauren about watching Lexie over the Thanksgiving holiday. They were very amenable to us coming by before booking to see how Lexie would do with their dogs (spoiler alert: she loved them!) and for us to see their space. It was the longest we'd ever left our girl before, and they kindly answered any and every question these nervous pet-parents had. When it came time to drop her off, she was having so much fun in their backyard she didn't notice we were gone. While out of town, Jeremy sent a photo everyday and it was clear that Lexie was having a blast. Which meant we were able to enjoy our vacation WAY MORE than I expected!! My mom was actually picking Lexie up, and arranging that was easy. Lexie came home happy but worn out from playing non-stop during her stay. Can not say enough wonderful things about Jeremy and Lauren. They care for your pets like their own. Will use them again... and again... and again... anytime we need somewhere for Lexie to stay. Our only concern: Lexie will end up liking their house more than ours!!”
“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.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“I got multiple updates each day with photos. My dog had a wonderful time! Vanessa is extremely professional, loving, and obviously cares a lot about what she does. I could not have been happier with my experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Carol is so amazing with our dogs, is so friendly, reliable, and experienced. Her property is beautiful and our pets always come back happy, tuckered out, and super well taken care of! Thank you Carol!”
“Where do I start!? Milika was absolutely amazing with Daisy. I was very nervous because it was my first time using a sitter and leaving her for such an extended period of time. Milika reassured me that Daisy would okay and the way she took right to Milika said it all. Milika sent pictures and videos everyday. Milika’s children took to Daisy as well and they are so sweet. I would go to Milika every time I’m in need of a sitter for my fur baby. She’s truly an amazing and loving person. 10/10 id recommend Milika 100 million percent.”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Kimberly, Dustin and their son are amazing! They took such great care of our Aussie and I couldn’t recommend them enough. They sent lots of photos, walked, played and snuggled with our dog as if she was their own. They have a Aussie named scout who got along with Lily great and helped get her energy out. They were super accommodating for our early departure and late arrival which we truly appreciated. Again can’t recommend this family enough for watching your dog we will be rebooking them in the near future!”
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
“Randi is amazing! She was flexible with my schedule, kind, and sent the cutest pictures / updates which I really appreciated. I’m new to the area and very happy to have found a reliable pet sitter that my dog loves.”
“Boarded Titus, my 13 month old Doberman with Monica for 3 nights and she cared for him exceptionally well. This was his first ever boarding and from the meet/greet to pick up was a great experience. Monica consistently communicated with me everyday to keep me posted as to Titus’ well being. Monica informed me that initially Titus displayed moderate separation anxiety in which she spent extra time to calm him. Monica exercised Titus daily running along the golf cart around the big pond which he loved. I felt Titus was in good hands and I highly recommend Monica as an excellent pet sitter.”
“Angelina and Spencer were great! They watched our pup during the Winter Storm and that was a huge weight off of our shoulders. They took Tia for walks, sent pics, and when she returned home she was peaceful and relaxed which is a good indicator that she was in a healthy environment.”
