I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Jasmine has been a blessing to me and my fur baby. I feel like she was heaven sent. Reign just 2 months old and we have never been apart but Jasmine made my uncomfortable go into ease within a few hours of having my baby. She sent so many updates, pics and videos. Jasmine and her kids are amazing. Children are very well manner and respectful. Nobody else will ever be able to keep Raign but Jasmine. She is now family. If I could rate her a 10 ⭐ I would.”
“My lab mix had the BEST time! She’s a social girl who adores playing with other dogs and just being around people. Erica sends photo updates twice a day and it was so great to see how much fun my dog was having. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Erica’s care. I’d recommend her to anyone and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“This was my puppies first time going anywhere on his own. I can tell that Rachel took good care of him because he came home totally relaxed and happy. I most definitely bring him back to her for future stay ?”
“Jamie and her family are really great to work with. They treat our dog as their own and go out of their way to send pics and reassurances that our pup is doing well. So happy to have them close!”
“Carrie was/is absolutely amazing! She loved on our sweet girl and gave her all the cuddles as if she were her own. She was very communicative and we were very appreciative of the photo and video updates we received daily. She is hands down the best. Thank you so much for being a home away from home for our Finley.”
“Loved Morgan! She watched our three puppers while we were at the beach for a week. Our one dog has never been boarded before and the other 2 haven’t been boarded in a few years! They all did great with her! She is very sweet, communication is great and fast, and gives updates throughout your pups stay! 10/10 recommend Morgan :))”
About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like it’s my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Kim was wonderful with our dog Harry. This was Harry’s first time being boarded in a long time and Kim was extremely patient with him and took the time to ensure that he was always comfortable. I would book her again in an instant.”
“Arleen was very engaged and active with Loki from our first get to know you meeting to his week long stay. She was attentive to his dietary, sleeping and play needs. She walked Loki daily and took him on outings. He was well taken care of and we will definitely have her take care of Loki again! I think Loki has missed her since coming home!”

“With my dog’s energy and wanting to use the bathroom on everything another animal probably touched, he did a great job with being understanding and the communication was top tier!”
“I was worried about leaving my Penny with a dog sitter for 10 days so I booked a doggy daycare with Danielle once a week for a month before I was due to leave, I think this help=ed Penny adjust. Danielle kept me updated while I was gone and that helped my anxiety on Penny's welfare. I think it was very helpful that Penny was left in a home environment with children and other dogs. I'm very pleased with the care Penny received.”

We received updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We are very grateful and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommended!”

My home appears well cared for and I returned to happy, healthy cats!”

“My Mom needed a cat sitter. Previously, she had some friends who would watch her cat for her, but this time they were unavailable. My wife and I had used Rover before, and I found her on this site. Kelly did a meet and greet and we had a really good conversation with her! We were confident in her abilities and commitment for my Mom's cat. She send photos (haha, some with some great commentary 😆) for each check-in. My Mom was able to get away with my wife and I, and have not have to worry about her cat being taken care of. We'll be sure to utilize Kelly again when my Mom is traveling. Thanks Kelly!”
About: I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding/daycare facility for over a year so I have seen firsthand how stressful those environments can be despite how social you think your dog might be with others. Dogs have always been one of my special interests since I was very little, I have plenty of experience taking care of senior dogs and puppies, and I am comfortable taking care of any breed/temperament. I have no problem if you spam me for pictures of your pup and I love sending constant updates and pics! I know how stressful it can be not to have your dog in your own care so no request is too small. I am a full-time college student studying environment and zoology, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I have full class schedule throughout the week and it changes per semester, don’t let that stop you from reaching out! I will take a look at any request and see if I can make them work. The more specific you are the better. If I have even the tiniest question I will not hesitate to reach out, I want your dog to be as close to there typical environment/schedule as possible so they are comfortable. Saftey is the big priority for me when caring for your pup, your dog will never be put in an unsafe situation by me. I am comfortable with emergency aid if necessary and I have transportation if your dog needs to be taken to a veterinarian.
“Kathryn gives the best updates and takes the best photos of the girls while we’re gone! She spends a good amount of time with them, and they always seem happy and healthy when we get home.”
“Emily went above and beyond caring for my cats while I was out of town. One was recovering from an injury and she made sure she got her medication and ate and drank well. Couldn't recommend Emily enough!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have a special appreciation for cats and their unique personalities. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers to do their own thing, I’m patient and respectful of their space. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, and giving medications if needed. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away:) I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and aim to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel completely at ease.
About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember! I have been taking care of fur babies on any possible occasion I can since I graduated college. I work part time as data entry for a up and coming tech company and am able to fit many animals into my daily life luckily!! I have a fenced in backyard, plenty of experience with on and off leash animals, and pay very close attention to how animals around me are acting.
About: I am a mother and it is obvious in the way I care for dogs it comes naturally and doesn't feel like work. Also, I am friendly, upbeat, and enjoy spending time with dogs. Currently, I am a bar captain for a Broadway theater. So my availability is mostly in the afternoons, and late nights. Over my lifetime, I have had many dogs. All were rescued dogs who suffered from tremendous abuse. With that lasting trauma, trust and behavioral issues are common and for which I have the patience for. In addition to my personal experiences with dogs coming from special circumstances, most of my dogs have been medium to large breeds, and many of those were scent hounds. Which means you have to indulge some curiosities, all while staying mindful of safety. Therefore I would be happy taking your dogs on indulgent walks led by their noses and helping you take great care of your dogs would be my pleasure.

“Linda was easy to communicate with and accommodating to our circumstances. Unfortunately, I actually had to cancel with Linda before she was ever able to watch our pup. But, I feel confident that I’ll book her services again the next time we are in town.”

“Deon and Stephen are simply the best. They have cared for Tippy multiple times and I am never disappointed in how much love, affection, and care he receives. They are top notch!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Rachel was fantastic with me needing to book Cricket within days while being a new client and even being able to do a meet and greet the day I booked! Her flexibility was great. I gave her the run about cricket and her being dog reactive and Rachel ensured me that she would make sure Cricket would not interact with other dogs. When I picked her up Rachel was ready with her and gave me an entire summary of how cricket did and how she adjusted to a new environment. She even gave us a referral to a trainer to help with her reactivity! It was a success and we will be returning!”
“Erica & Christian are wonderfully caring and responsible Petsitters. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking pet-care. And, they have the added bonus of owning a beautiful home in close proximity to Tanglewood Park. Great experience for me and my Finn.”

I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, from growing up with multiple large farm dogs to now taking care of my small dachshund–chihuahua mix. Being around such a wide range of sizes and personalities has made me really adaptable and confident with different types of dogs. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that need extra support, including giving medications like pills, eye drops, and ear drops. I’m also very mindful of routines, knowing how important consistency is for keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building trust with them- It’s not just something I do, it’s something I look forward to. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and at home, while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands. I am currently on summer break and I’m looking forward to committing my time to pet sitting! I have a completely open schedule for the next few months. At home, it’s me, my grandma, and our small chihuahua mix, Romeo. We spend a lot of time outdoors in our yard gardening, relaxing, and enjoying the summer, and Romeo loves being outside with us. We also take short car rides to a nearby park for walks and a change of scenery. Inside, pets have plenty of cozy spots to relax, including crates (if they’re used to one), quiet corners, and my room for extra comfort. I always make sure pets are supervised, safe, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. I’m mindful when introducing pets to Romeo and will always prioritize a calm, safe environment. If your pet prefers their own space or a more relaxed pace, I’m happy to accommodate that too. For care in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and will follow all instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. If your pet enjoys a calm, loving environment with light activity and lots of attention, they’ll fit right in here 😊

“Tina provided excellent doggy day care! Her large fenced-in backyard is a terrific, safe place for dogs to play, and she has arranged her home in a thoughtful way to accommodate dogs when they are inside. River absolutely loved Tina! He went with her without hesitation at drop-off, and the photos Tina provided to me show that he had a wonderful time with her for the day. She followed my instructions to the letter and has excellent attention to detail. Tina's own dog made a perfect playmate for River. Highly recommend. Will use again.”
About: I am a young motivated dog lover who loves all dogs of shapes & sizes! My dog Peesha is trained off leash & very obedient she gets so many compliments!

About: Ive taken care of animals for 2 year at a dog daycare, friends and family have relied on me, to walk, feed and bathe their pets… I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding on weekends, and on weekdays anytime I have a fenced in mini barn and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed…
“Megan always goes above and beyond to take care of my pups! She works with their reactiveness and always makes sure they’re calm and cooled down after their walks. Highly recommend!!”
About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines. Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch. However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.
About: I've been surrounded by dogs of every kind my entire life, I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy working with dogs because I am an outdoor person who likes to go for runs and walks. I have been relied on by my friends and neighbors to come and spend time, feed, and walk their pets. I am currently enrolled at Catawba College, getting my masters degree, while competing on the beach volleyball team. All my classes are online and practice ranges from 7-8am, 11am- 1pm, and 5-6pm, but vary through the week. I have a fenced-in backyard for my 2-year-old Lab and I make sure that we keep the bedroom doors closed so I can always keep my eye on them.

On a weekly basis, I maintain a consistent routine so pets have structure, including regular walks, playtime, and relaxation time, helping them feel safe and at home while their owners are away. 🐶🌿 I have a big fenced in backyard with a dog house and heaters and ac when it’s hot out there.

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.
About: I’ve had a Basset hound and a Weimaraner over 15 years. I’ve owned 4 extremely well behaved, adjusted, and playful cats for over 20 years. I have open availability to take care of your fur baby while you’re away. Im active and have love playing fetch with dogs, and going on walks. I love cats - they’re so curiously entertaining! I can bathe your dogs, play an excellent round of fetch, give them lots of love an attention while I’m visiting. Cats: play toys, scratchpads, shoestrings, balls w bells, and brushing, when they prefer. I’ve got lots of dog toys- balls, chew bones, frisbees squeaky toys. I gave away my dog harnesses, but still have my retractable leash. If they like going out on the town, I love going to pet smart to just look around and pick out a toy. They have pup cups at Pelicans- if their sugar is under control, and then go to dog park, or just playing and keeping him company in the home. I’m very good at attending to both dogs & cats. I do not spank ( with my hand or an object, like a newspaper) or hit animals, nor use a water sprayer to punish animals if they’ve done something wrong. I use redirection and a stern tone and shake my finger at them. They usually respond well to that. Then when I see them doing the right thing I reward them with enthusiastic positive talk. For bigger issues, I always have treats in my pocket, using instant gratification to regain their attention.
About: I have multiple years of in house boarding, leashed walking, and boarding kennel experience. I love to run and am available to take the most active doggos of 5k jogs, guaranteed to get out all of that energy and have the best naps after. I've cared for toy to extra large breeds as well as puppies and senior pets. I have a rescue pittie named JoJo, so bully breeds are my favorite, but any day caring for an animal is a great day! I am self employed and live a nomad lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pets that need more attention and care. I also offer running with your pet, best for high energy doggos. Having your pet stay in their home while you are away is the best way to keep them happy and at ease. I attend to their routines just as you do and ensure you have plenty of updates of how they are.

I also started pet sitting for clients and friends a few years ago as favors and it has grown into years of house sitting either in my home or theirs. I love each pet as my own while understanding their different quirks and needs, while my training in the veterinary world allows me to medicate and take care of special needs babies if I need to. I am capable of taking care of all kinds of animals, as I also work at a barn part time with 12 horses. Although I am not a vet tech anymore I am in management in health care and I work full time but have available early mornings and evenings after 4:30. I also only work half days on Friday’s and have all weekends open. I workout at 5 am, 5 days a week so I start early! If your pet is with me, I consider it my own and definitely treat them all like family. I worked in the veterinary field in all positions for 8 years and safety is very important. Fun fact: both of my dog boys have modeled for Nutramax! I work full time but can walk at lunch time or after work, no work on weekends. If I’m staying overnight I’m already used to early mornings and taking care of pets before work. I will always take care of other pets as if they were my own, I love and am comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I enjoy being active or a lazy day on the couch, whichever your pet may need.
“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”
About: I have had a deep passion for animals my entire life. My mom worked in a veterinary ER clinic in my home state of South Carolina and would bring me to work to help take care of the patients and boarders on weekends through my high school years. My aunt is a dog trainer who I also shadowed. I have fostered several dogs through their adoption process, from a puppy chihuahua to a senior Great Dane. I’m comfortable with giving medications, post operative care, and much more. Neighbors, friends, and family have all entrusted me with the care of their dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and even fish (they need to eat while their people are away too!). I have taken some time away from Rover for a few years while working on my career, and moved across country to be closer to family, along with starting my own. We now have settled in Rowan County, NC and I am looking to help out fellow pet parents again! I would be available to come by on any day of the week from the times of 7-11am, 1-3pm and 6-9pm. I am pretty open during the day, these are time frames that I would be available for walks, drop in visits, feedings, etc. If other / additional times are needed we can chat and probably make it work. I keep all doors to outside closed and locked while in the home so no escapes are possible. The collar will be fitted properly and each walk will be leashed.

“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Jasmine has been a blessing to me and my fur baby. I feel like she was heaven sent. Reign just 2 months old and we have never been apart but Jasmine made my uncomfortable go into ease within a few hours of having my baby. She sent so many updates, pics and videos. Jasmine and her kids are amazing. Children are very well manner and respectful. Nobody else will ever be able to keep Raign but Jasmine. She is now family. If I could rate her a 10 ⭐ I would.”
“My lab mix had the BEST time! She’s a social girl who adores playing with other dogs and just being around people. Erica sends photo updates twice a day and it was so great to see how much fun my dog was having. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Erica’s care. I’d recommend her to anyone and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“This was my puppies first time going anywhere on his own. I can tell that Rachel took good care of him because he came home totally relaxed and happy. I most definitely bring him back to her for future stay ?”
“Jamie and her family are really great to work with. They treat our dog as their own and go out of their way to send pics and reassurances that our pup is doing well. So happy to have them close!”
“It’s very apparent my dog has an amazing time with this family, he’s so happy when we drop off and pick up! I’m so very blessed to have found someone who embraces his high energy. We will continue to book dog sitting services with Ashley! !”
“Loved Morgan! She watched our three puppers while we were at the beach for a week. Our one dog has never been boarded before and the other 2 haven’t been boarded in a few years! They all did great with her! She is very sweet, communication is great and fast, and gives updates throughout your pups stay! 10/10 recommend Morgan :))”
About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like it’s my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Kim was wonderful with our dog Harry. This was Harry’s first time being boarded in a long time and Kim was extremely patient with him and took the time to ensure that he was always comfortable. I would book her again in an instant.”
“With my dog’s energy and wanting to use the bathroom on everything another animal probably touched, he did a great job with being understanding and the communication was top tier!”
“I cannot recommend Brittany highly enough! She took such great care of my dog, Jack Daniels, while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Jack Daniels seemed so happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I returned. It’s clear Brittany is responsible, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you!”
“I was worried about leaving my Penny with a dog sitter for 10 days so I booked a doggy daycare with Danielle once a week for a month before I was due to leave, I think this help=ed Penny adjust. Danielle kept me updated while I was gone and that helped my anxiety on Penny's welfare. I think it was very helpful that Penny was left in a home environment with children and other dogs. I'm very pleased with the care Penny received.”
“My girls loved Beth! This was their first time not staying with family so I was a little worried but Beth made me feel at ease immediately! She made sure to keep me updated and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend trusting her with your fur babies! 💕”
“Very caring family who will take in your furry loved one, and take care of them with love. She also takes the BEST pics and sends them with updates throughout the visit. Brooke is great!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter on Rover! They took such great care of our dog and treated him with so much love and attention. We received updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We are very grateful and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommended!”
“Anamika always takes such wonderful care of our little Rocky. She always goes out of her way to make sure to send us pictures and updates every day. He is well taken care of and has fun playtime with other well behaved dogs. I highly recommend!”
“This was my first time leaving our lab Abby with anyone but family. Abby was immediately comfortable with his home and pet family. Mike sent me pictures and a short video of Abby over the time she was there. It helped me be comfortable on our trip and not worry about her. Good communication and flexible on pick up. Would use again. Thanks Mike.”
“Baili is a plesent person. Got my puppies back, they were cold up on pick up, one had diarrhea, so he ate something he wasn't supposed too. She only gave updates when I asked for it, even tho I requested random updates. But I'm happy to have them back alive and for the most part well”
