“Teresa took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town! She managed to send a picture at every visit despite him not being the friendliest guy around. It was nice to know he was in good hands.”

“I recently used Kimberly from Rover to take care of my dog, and cats and overall, it was a great experience! Kimberly was very friendly and clearly loves animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which was a nice touch and helped me feel at ease while I was away. My fur babies seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned, and I appreciated the attention to detail in making sure all of my instructions were followed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: We would love to welcome you to our family! We currently have four dogs and three cats who love playing in our fenced-in yard. I have always had a passion for working with and caring for animals. Growing up, I was raised around all types of animals. My family would rescue, care for, and rehabilitate sick or injured kittens and puppies. I would help clean wounds, bottle-feed young animals, and care for all the animals that came through our home. I also have experience providing emergency veterinary services to various animals. My partner also has a lot of experience taking care of animals. She has worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital and was a puppy raiser for a service dog. We offer daycare as well as overnight stays. We are comfortable providing medication to your pet and helping make them as comfortable as possible. During your pet's visit, they have the opportunity to play alongside our pets or can have a separate space for themselves. I currently work part-time on Mondays and Tuesdays but am home the rest of the week. My partner works from home, so there is always someone at home to play with and take care of your pets. We are often home all weekend unless we are taking a hike with our dogs. Our home offers a fenced-in yard for your fur babies to explore during the day and walks can be taken around the neighborhood. Our cats spend most of their time in the enclosed porch so they can be away from your pets if necessary and our two youngest dogs sleep in cages at night. We can easily provide a crate for your pet during the day or at night if requested and there is space for them to have their own space away from our pets as well.

“Marissa was awesome with my cat, Oscar. She was super responsive in getting a short notice drop-in organized for my long weekend away. Oscar liked her right away and she was totally at ease with him. While I was away she was on time and communicative about how Oscar was doing. I would absolutely book Marissa again!”

“Ken was great! He loved my animals like his own and he even gave us updates on our kitty’s even though he was there for our puppy! Great thorough updates will definitely use again if we need care!”

About: I’m a pet mom of six full grown cats and two dogs. i’ve had them their entire lives. I rescued one of my cats from a ditch in a parking lot. I work early mornings so that I am available afternoons and evenings any day of the week. I am often in Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham and Hillsborough. I have a fenced front and back yard so our pets just go out there to pee or poop. We feed our dogs and cats two times a day.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs of all kinds and ages. Senior and puppy/kitten pet care are part of my experience. From long walks, to fun games, to specialty foods and injury recovery, I’ve seen and done it all. Your pets will be well loved and cared for by me. Currently, I have a wide open schedule as I prepare for my next job in the next few months. I can do multiple walks a day or stay overnight with pets. I can offer caring for your pets in your own home and will utilize your resources appropriately and safely. My own home, if truly needed, is in a lovely neighborhood for nice walks, with a fenced in backyard. Currently, there are no other pets in the house.
“Nicole stopped in for another potty break. I do believe our 1 year old Goldendoodle has found a new friend. Since our little girls recommends Nicole we do too. Thanks Nicole for taking care of our babygirl.”

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
“Rebecca is a natural with dogs and she handled our older dog and our puppy both with great love and care. She is reliable and we were able to count on her even with unexpected delays in getting home.”
About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.

“Karra is great. She was flexible with us when I messed up the timing in the app. She communicated all the time with us letting us know how our dogs were doing and she was super attentive. Our dogs loved her. We definitely will use her services again.”

“Alyeska was awesome! We had a senior dog with very specific needs and she did very well with him. She also made friends with our two kitties which was awesome as well. I would recommend her to others without question.”
“Claire did a great job dropping in to take out and play with our two dogs. She was prompt and kept us updated with pictures. It was clear at the meet and greet that they loved her. We look forward to an opportunity to use Claire again. We highly recommend her.”
