“Tim and his family took absolutely wonderful care of Togo! 🐶 Togo can be a bit of a trouble eater, but Tim and his family were incredibly patient and really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. They tried different approaches and truly cared about making sure he was happy and settled. They made Togo feel completely at home, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay — Tim regularly shared updates and pictures, which meant a lot to us. Our flight was unexpectedly delayed, and they were kind enough to accommodate Togo for a couple of extra hours at the last minute without any hesitation. That flexibility and understanding really meant so much. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Tim and his family with Togo again. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Mary was for Ginger (and Us). Thank you Mary for all you did to take such great care with our girl. We were daily in the loop on how Ginger was doing with pictures and videos that were amazing - Mary should consider going into pet photography. Mary gladly adjusted with us to keep Ginger when our return had to be delayed due to a winter storm. You can tell that Mary really cared for Ginger. We will use her again very soon.”
“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”
“Janette and her family were so wonderful watching our new puppy Simon! She proactively sent updates and Simon was treated like a member of the family. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”
“Alexa was fabulous!!! She was so kind and easy to work with. My dogs had a Blast with her dog and her family. She kept me updated and sent pictures frequently. Her communication was always extremely prompt as well. I already made plans to use her again!”
“This was Roxy’s second time staying with Deepak and Derek’s family. They took great care of her and looked after her smallest needs. I can tell that Roxy loves her time with their family. It’s like a vacation for Roxy while I’m on vacation.”
“Debra and Michael were amazing. They understood our situation and gave us the time flexibility for Louie’s pickup and drop off. He was a little fussy this time with them but I understood he was well taken care of. They made sure he got comfortable. We kept receiving messages on how he’s doing throughout the day as well. Definitely recommend them”
“Diego & Amelia are fantastic! They provided pictures every day of our pup, including pictures of her sunbathing with their two dogs, who are absolutely adorable. They responded quickly to an adjustment request for pickup time, as well, which we greatly appreciated. Our dog is such a happy girl after spending time with them. This was the longest we have ever been away from our pup and their updates made us feel so at ease.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Meagan was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and videos of our boy. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Meagan!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
“It was our first time boarding our Pet Benji with Manu and Dhruv. They welcomed him with love and shared pictures throughout the day. We definitely will recommend Manu and Dhruv!”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Julia was amazing. We had an out of town wedding and she took care of our Finn like her own. She has a little Yorkie named Archie and Finn and he had some much fun together. I was so relieved by Julia's updates and pictures that she sent. Finn loves to walk and she took him out for many walks in her very walkable neighborhood. I highly recommend Julia for your next getaway.”
“Our dog Poncho stayed with Chonlada for a week while we were on vacation and we could not take him with us. She was very flexible and agreeable to a meet & greet beforehand. Poncho and her dog Tokie were similar in size, age, and activity level so they seemed to get along great. She has a large fenced property for the dogs to explore and run around. I got daily updates as well as pictures and videos of Poncho, which made my family and I feel better about leaving him. Chonlada and her family took great care of Poncho (spoiled him...lol) and made sure he ate his meals and slept comfortably. They also comforted him during a thunder storm, which he does not like. Chonlada even contacted me when she noticed that Poncho was licking his paws and had a small abrasion, which she treated and monitored. Thanks so much to Chonlada and her family and I would definitely recommend her for boarding and will use again when needed.”
“Joel is prompt to respond. My dog can be uncomfortable meeting new people and dogs. Joel has a keen understanding of dog behavior and uses lots of positive reinforcement. He handles greetings, meal times, and playtime in a professional manner. I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in his care and my dog quickly warmed up to him, his wife, and his dogs.”
“This was KoKo’s first time with Amanda and she was great at making her feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates which made me happy. :) She also has a great big yard. looking forward to many more stays with Amanda. Definitely recommend her for your pup.”

“Emily is fantastic - very empathetic to all of my cats in her care. She came by prior to the drop-in visits for a meet & greet and it was immediately evident she loves animals as they warned to her right away. She is highly dependable, doing more than just pet sitting (watered plants & took out garbage too!). She also provides great communication, reaching out with questions and providing fantastic photos & detailed notes of her visits. Will definitely use Emily again & again!!”

“Sara was a wonderful and warm cat sitter while we were away for 6 days! We could tell from the updates and photos that Sara sent that our kitty really warmed up to her and looked forward to her visit each day. Sara was reliable and responsive to us and to our kitty's needs, We would book Sara for future cat sitting for sure.”
“Shagun is a great sitter! One of our kitties was recently diagnosed with IBS and she was great about his daily meds. She also sent pics and updates during visits which really put our mind at ease after he had a rough week. She was kind and really seemed to care. Definitely recommend Shagun and would book again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Adina, owner of Playful Paws Pet Sitting. I offer thoughtful, high-quality care for dogs and cats in a calm, home-style environment. I specialize in one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and low-stress care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced, insured, and deeply detail-oriented — from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I intentionally limit bookings so every pet receives unrushed, individualized care. My clients are often busy professionals who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. I provide clear communication, photo updates, and the kind of dependable care I’d expect for my own pets. Your home and your pet will always be treated with respect, warmth, and discretion. If your pet stays with me, I offer an executive home on a large one acre flat lot and access to nearby trails. For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect. I specialize in anxious pets, senior pets, and pets who need a lot of medical attention throughout the day. My clients are mostly long term and like family and I develop lasting relationships with your pets! This is my full time job and so I am available to you and your pets. Please discuss with me the details of what you need and I will give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I’m friendly, flexible, and will go above and beyond to keep your pets happy. I treat all animals with love and respect. I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am neat and organized and will treat your home with care and respect. I will send you photos/videos of your pet(s) as well as daily written updates. I specialize in dogs and cats with anxiety or who are shy, as I take the time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable.
About: Lifelong dog owner and previous pet-sitting business owner; will care for your dog; young, old, big, small. Your dog will be lovingly cared for! (Note: So sorry but we are cautious about hosting aggressive breeds because of past experiences.) I am home quite a bit so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I may be out for a two+ hour stretch here so bringing a crate is highly recommended. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. We also have hiking trails nearby for walks, if preferred. Plenty of exercise given!
“Bridget took our Pip in on a VERY short notice and she was fantastic. Her communication from start to end was at the speed of light, she really took time to get to know Pip and understand his needs. Pip had a blast, and if the opportunity arises, we will definitely book her again in the future.”
“From pulling into Spencer's driveway this morning, my grand dog was so incredibly excited, she didn't even say goodbye to grandma She spent the day begging, interacting with the resident dogs who are amazing, resting and playing and just living her best life. She can't wait for the next time grandma has to go to the office”

With a deep passion for animals, I ensure each walk is filled with fun, exercise, commitment and lots of love! Whether your dog needs a quick stroll or a long adventure, I'm here to accommodate their needs and keep them happy and healthy. And there will be plenty of cute photos to show for it! I will make you feel at ease caring for your babies whether it’s just a 30 minute check in or a week long vaca. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! About me: I’m 33 years old with a 3 year old amazing mutt named Loki and live with my husband named Ryan! I have grown up with family dogs and have always loved any animal that I get to meet. I have cared for pups, cats, and chickens so far on Rover so if you have a unique pet, I can learn quickly with the right instruction! Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have! I pet as many pups as I can and even enjoy pet photography for social media clients which you will see in my gallery! Scheduling Rules: 1. Please give me at least 48 hours notice. Sending me requests for same day visits is most likely not going to work out and I get docked for it. 2. Please look at my calendar availability and message me asking if I’m available before booking the visit. I get docked if you book with me even though I’m already unavailable. 3. Please have a completed profile for your pets. I will not accept visits if the profile does not have care info, behavior traits. and photos included. 4. I cannot board any unfixed pets at this time. PITBULL BREED OWNERS: My HOA does not allow pit bulls in the neighborhood so unfortunately I cannot board your dog. BUT I can do check ins and walks with them at your home. My neighborhood is very dog friendly! I have a 1300 sq ft townhouse with a fenced backyard and a nice sized dog park right out my front door. We are also located right on the Catawba River so I love taking walks down to the beach area! A lot of dogs live in the neighborhood if your pup is interested in playing with others!
About: Im 26 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.
About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

“By the pictures alone, Ralph seems to have loved it. When we made it home, it was nice to know he was able to relieve himself while we were both unable to do so due to a strange glitch in our schedules. JEN WAS GREAT! Her communication was perfect, she was as very attentive and made me feel at ease from close to 100 miles away from home.”

“Shiena does a fantastic job! She walked our 1 1/2 year old Australian cattle dog daily over a recent ten day period. She showed great care, drying off his paws on the days where there had been rain puddles, but allowing him to enjoy his walks. She sent daily photos with comments about his walk.

My care experience includes dogs, cats, fish, rodents, birds, reptiles, cows, pigs, goats, and chickens. I'm currently available full time for house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking, since I am taking exclusively online college classes during this year. I will cater to both you and your pets' specific needs, and will care for them with as much love and respect as I do my own.
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pets. I had a childhood dog, and have petsat for friends and family alike. I love animals and never have a hard time getting along with one I’m currently in between jobs and classes, so there’s a lot of wiggle room for me! At this time I am very open with my schedule I care based off of the pet and pet-parent’s needs. Whether it’s long walks, or playtime, I make sure the pet gets the attention they need
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a little girl, and for the past 10 years I’ve been fostering and adopting pups in need. Becoming a dog mom myself showed me just how hard it can be to find someone who cares for my furry babies with the same love and attention I give them. With that understanding, I make it my priority to ensure your fur-baby feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away from home. I am currently a new pediatric resident. Although my work hours can be long, I love spending time with animals and would love to de-stress by spending time with your furry baby. As a dog parent, you know what is best for your dog, so I will do my best to emulate the same care you give your furry baby. With my background in medical training and experience with special-needs dogs, I feel very comfortable with medically complex animals.

“Tim and his family took absolutely wonderful care of Togo! 🐶 Togo can be a bit of a trouble eater, but Tim and his family were incredibly patient and really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. They tried different approaches and truly cared about making sure he was happy and settled. They made Togo feel completely at home, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay — Tim regularly shared updates and pictures, which meant a lot to us. Our flight was unexpectedly delayed, and they were kind enough to accommodate Togo for a couple of extra hours at the last minute without any hesitation. That flexibility and understanding really meant so much. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Tim and his family with Togo again. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Mary was for Ginger (and Us). Thank you Mary for all you did to take such great care with our girl. We were daily in the loop on how Ginger was doing with pictures and videos that were amazing - Mary should consider going into pet photography. Mary gladly adjusted with us to keep Ginger when our return had to be delayed due to a winter storm. You can tell that Mary really cared for Ginger. We will use her again very soon.”
“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”
“Alexa was fabulous!!! She was so kind and easy to work with. My dogs had a Blast with her dog and her family. She kept me updated and sent pictures frequently. Her communication was always extremely prompt as well. I already made plans to use her again!”
“This was Roxy’s second time staying with Deepak and Derek’s family. They took great care of her and looked after her smallest needs. I can tell that Roxy loves her time with their family. It’s like a vacation for Roxy while I’m on vacation.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Meagan was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and videos of our boy. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Meagan!”
“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”
“It was our first time boarding our Pet Benji with Manu and Dhruv. They welcomed him with love and shared pictures throughout the day. We definitely will recommend Manu and Dhruv!”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little unsure on the overall process and experience. My dog can be a little apprehensive and anxious at times, especially when meeting new people. Dawn alleviated any concerns I had from the moment she reached out. Ahead of my boarding time, Dawn was flexible and made herself available to do a meet and greet and showed me her home and let my dog explore to become familiar with the environment. During my time away, Dawn provided photos and updates each day. I highly recommend Dawn and know that you will be in good hands!”
About: I grew up in the home of biologist who kept all sorts of pets. I have experienced caring for a variety of animals, however have the most familiarity with care for canines. I spent a few years fostering dogs with different issues such as separation anxiety and aggression. I raised and trained a Belgian Malinois from 16 weeks to 1 year, giving me experience with intelligent and high energy dogs. I woke full-time from home and therefore am available to be with the pets all day. I am currently a full-time stay at home mom who works remotely about 10 hours a week. MY schedule is open and flexible to accommodate pets. I currently have a 2 year old son who enjoys animals. I am mindful of safety practice for children and pets to keep both safe. I do not have a fenced in yard and will use a leash to leave the house at all times. Depending on your pet's behavior I can crate them and keep them separated in another part of the house.
“Joel is prompt to respond. My dog can be uncomfortable meeting new people and dogs. Joel has a keen understanding of dog behavior and uses lots of positive reinforcement. He handles greetings, meal times, and playtime in a professional manner. I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in his care and my dog quickly warmed up to him, his wife, and his dogs.”
About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize frequent walks, outdoor time, and supervised potty breaks to ensure dogs stay active and engaged. We also have a friendly, goofy, and welcoming Golden Retriever who loves having dog friends and helps new pups feel comfortable quickly. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m available to board your dog or provide care for a few hours, depending on your needs. I’m fully available on weekends, and I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention and companionship on those days as well. I usually take our dog out every four hours. But depending on your dog needs, i can adjust.Depending on your pups needs, i can keep them separate from our dog or keep them together. I am flexible.
