“I was nervous at first since it was my first time using Rover, but Larissa completely put my mind at ease. She offered a meet and greet beforehand to see how my dog, Buddha, would adjust—and it went great! Larissa was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. Buddha had a fantastic time and came home happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found her—we’ll definitely be coming back from now on!”
“Connie is always so attentive and csring to our pups. Encourages playtime and let's me know if there are any concerns. Awesome setter and first person I schedule pet setting with as needed.”
“A caring environment for my dog who is my only child. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got the first picture. This was his first stay and it was brief, but I anticipate Lorena' s home becoming Jinxy's home away from home. He is scheduled for a longer stay in the next week.”
“Chris has alway been amazing!!! Great communication and flexibility. This is our third or fourth time booking and it won’t be our last!!! Thank you so much for always taking good care of Gunner!!!”
“Amber does an awesome job watching and caring for Bella. She sends photos and videos of her stay and updates me on Bella day daily. This is my 3rd time hiding Bella with her and Bella enjoys bonding with her dog.”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. I never worry for a second if my 2 babies are okay. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when I need her. My babies always come back home very relax and I can tell they were very much loved. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when we need her. The best sitter ever!! We will be back soon.”
“Omg! Hannah is the sweetest! This is the first time my family has used ROVER and we were blessed to find Hannah! We didnt just choose Hannah.. she in return chose us! She loved and cared for our fur children as if they were her own! She was so considerate for our wants and needs for our furbabies and in the end I just wanted for both her and our furbabies to just enjoy each other's company during their stay with her. We honestly could have not been any more lucky to have found Hannah.. as a person she is just a sweetheart. Everyone please keep in mind that we cannot expect for our furbabies caregivers to provide to our furchuldren the exact way we do at home but I can guarantee Hannah will try (and probably succeed) and give your babies love and care that anyone would hope a pet to receive. Thank you Hannah for being you!”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Jeanette was amazing with my babies. She was very nice and responsive and sent lots of pictures. My puppies seemed like they had a lot of fun. Will definitely be coming back again for future puppy sitting needs.”
“Marley had a great time with Kathryn and her family! Great communication throughout our time away and the little fella got lots of love and attention. He came home happy and tired from all the great walks. Highly recommend Kathryn and we hope to book again soon! Thanks for a great experience!”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”

“Jen was great with our super skiddish dog who doesn’t have much experience with other animals or people but Jen ensured she would do great! I got pics everyday and she’s so quick to respond! Definitely rebooking with her in the future!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Eldeen and her family make my dog, Ruben, feel like he has a second home. I know that when I leave him in their care that he will be taken care of like he’s at home. From the first meet and greet, Eldeen and her family, have made sure that I was comfortable leaving Ruben in their care. They are my go to sitter for Ruben.”
“Heather has a great setup for a dog like ours: lots of playmates and a fenced yard to play in. We wanted Chewy to get a fun-filled vacation complete with lots of running and roughhousing with other dogs. We think he got it because he's been sleeping two days straight, LoL.”

“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica did a great job with our three cats. She was very patient while they got to know her, even trying to coax our most skittish cat from his hiding place with his favorite treats. She took lots of pictures each time she dropped in of all three cats. We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats from all walks of life and at all stages of life for the last twelve years! I am currently working part-time, so am flexible with scheduling for both weekdays and weekends during the day and evenings, as well! I am also available for overnight sitting. In my experience, each doggo and kitty has their own needs, which help them flourish best, so I abide by each fur baby’s routine and comfort level!
About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I have experience sitting for all types of animals. From cuddly Pyrenees, and scary-smart German pinschers, to spunky chinchillas, their best cat friends, and curious pythons. I have been through partial behavioral training for dogs (and their humans), and have experience with animal hospice situations, as well as behaviorally aggressive dogs. I prefer to keep the animal's care as consistent as possible. The more details you have of your preferred method of walking, reward, or preparation habits, the better. Trust and care are my number one goals when it comes to animal sitting. Not just with the four legged babies, but with the parents as well. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your care provider, and what a treat it is to know that you can trust someone with the care of your loved ones. Also, aren't dogs just perfect? I work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently on telework, so my weekly availability is early morning, and late afternoon. I also volunteer at the Old Dominion Humaine Society and occasionally foster for them at my house. I have one <1 year old puppy, and I have a home with a large yard but no fence. That means all foster dogs get leash walked always and there are many mind teaser toys for rainy days. I feed in crates and make it a safe space for them to decompress.
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her. I feel that Hazel had a great time and enjoyed herself. I would definitely recommend Matisa to to my family and friends and will definitely return to her for her services. Thank you!”
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”

So I am pretty flexible!! If something doesn’t work i’ll just make that clear but I do not have many scheduled things in my day to day. I don’t mind doing feeding, walking, play time! Also don’t mind light clean up if they make a mess while you are gone. My dogs are kind of crazy so I understand messes happen! My dogs have an open back yard but if your dog is trained to walk I will be happy to take them out that way. My dogs get plenty of play time mainly with each other but i’ve done plenty of play time with them myself and can incorporate that with you dogs if they require play time! I also have dealt with older and sick dogs so I know how to be gentle and handle that. I have also had my own cat and watched others, I adore cats. Mine was sick for a while so i’m familiar with oral medication for cats and soothing cats’ anxieties as mine suffered heavily from unknown anxiety.

About: Hey there! I’m Allie. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and my goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always recommend a meet and greet so we can get acquainted and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pets. I like to take the time to sit down, get to know both you and your pets, and answer any questions you may have. I moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 2019 when my husband’s military service brought us here. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting full time while completing my college studies. At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets. I’ve spent my life around animals and have worked professionally in nearly every area of pet care, including animal hospitals, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and in-home pet sitting. These experiences allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. Including administering medications and providing extra support for pets with medical or behavioral needs. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, goats, and horses. If I haven’t worked with a species yet, I’m always eager to learn. No two animals are alike, and I love discovering what makes each one special so I can provide care tailored to their personality and needs. I am very flexible and able to provide your pets lots of quality time. 30 Minute Drop in: This is a quick visit to check in on your pet. I’ll let them out for a potty break, refresh food and water, give any needed meds or treats, and spend time playing or cuddling. I’ll send you photos and updates along the way. Perfect for a midday break or some company while you’re away. Overnight Stay: Your pet will have company and care throughout the night. I’ll follow your evening routine with dinner, a potty break, any meds, playtime, then stay overnight for supervision and comfort. In the morning, I’ll handle breakfast, another potty break, and fresh water, while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Light home care, like checking mail or plants, can also be included. Ideal for pets who need extra comfort and prefer staying in their own home. When caring for others pets I treat them as my own. Whatever your pet needs, I'll happily accommodate them to the best of my ability. I always triple check doors are locked when I leave, and that there is nothing in reach that could be harmful to your pets. (human food, dog treats, toys etc)

I have a dog and 4 cats of my own, so I’m very much used to taking care of animals! Most of my cats are indoors but I do have a dog that I take on walks. I’m currently looking for a full time job to replace my current job. I am a senior in college but do it all online so I am very flexible. I always try to make a pet feel as comfortable as possible around me. I’m not an overly hyper person so I wouldn’t make them nervous in that way. I usually come in, sit down, and let them get used to me and make sure they’re okay to get around me.
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“I was nervous at first since it was my first time using Rover, but Larissa completely put my mind at ease. She offered a meet and greet beforehand to see how my dog, Buddha, would adjust—and it went great! Larissa was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. Buddha had a fantastic time and came home happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found her—we’ll definitely be coming back from now on!”
“Connie is always so attentive and csring to our pups. Encourages playtime and let's me know if there are any concerns. Awesome setter and first person I schedule pet setting with as needed.”
“A caring environment for my dog who is my only child. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got the first picture. This was his first stay and it was brief, but I anticipate Lorena' s home becoming Jinxy's home away from home. He is scheduled for a longer stay in the next week.”
“Chris has alway been amazing!!! Great communication and flexibility. This is our third or fourth time booking and it won’t be our last!!! Thank you so much for always taking good care of Gunner!!!”

My babies always come back home very relax and I can tell they were very much loved. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when we need her. The best sitter ever!! We will be back soon.”
“Omg! Hannah is the sweetest! This is the first time my family has used ROVER and we were blessed to find Hannah! We didnt just choose Hannah.. she in return chose us! She loved and cared for our fur children as if they were her own! She was so considerate for our wants and needs for our furbabies and in the end I just wanted for both her and our furbabies to just enjoy each other's company during their stay with her. We honestly could have not been any more lucky to have found Hannah.. as a person she is just a sweetheart. Everyone please keep in mind that we cannot expect for our furbabies caregivers to provide to our furchuldren the exact way we do at home but I can guarantee Hannah will try (and probably succeed) and give your babies love and care that anyone would hope a pet to receive. Thank you Hannah for being you!”

“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”

They were very accommodating for drop off and pick up, had a lovely, well kept home and made us feel very assured they'd take care of our Penny.
