“Karen is a superstar! The dogs loved her and so did we! Karen is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviors and personalities. It was our pleasure to have her watch Temple and Bandit over the weekend.”

“We’ve never had any sitter as great as Melissa! She’s very good with our dogs. She’s very knowledgeable with what she’s doing and followed all care instructions for our pups. She kept our house clean and our dogs happy. She updated us with lots of pictures and she let us know if she needs to go somewhere and for how long. Which I really appreciate. She’s polite and very sweet! I would definitely book her services again and will totally recommend her.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. My family has always said that one of my best qualities is how naturally I connect with animals. I have a calm, patient, and loving personality, and I treat every pet with kindness and respect. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just having someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and give your furry friend the same care and attention I would give my own. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable. I’ll always provide dependable care, lots of affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I currently work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’ll also be starting community college soon, but I’ll only be attending classes two days a week. This allows me to dedicate time to walking, playing with, and caring for pets while making sure they receive the attention and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to providing reliable care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visits, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, medication if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable while their family is away. I also keep their environment clean, watch for any changes in their behavior, and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give to my own.

“First time using Rover for an in-home option, and I wish I did earlier. Nicole was great, proactive, responsive, and truly cares. Your search is over, she is the answer.”

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since I was 5, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with their daily care, routines, and different personalities. I also understand pet body language and know how important it is to recognize when a pet is happy, nervous, uncomfortable or just needs some space. I’m patient, attentive and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I currently work full time, so my availability is more limited during my regular work schedule. However, my workplace will be temporarily closing for about a month in October, which will give me much more flexibility and availability to care for pets during that time. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I plan to care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and in their familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other care instructions provided by their owner. I’ll also give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection while make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!”

“Marcus was great! He watched our two dogs for over a week and did a wonderful job. He kept us updated with photos and stayed in communication. He was also great with our dogs medication as well and special requests. We came home to a clean house and two happy pups!!”

Kelsey D.

“Took great care of our pets and was super helpful!”

“Mardi was fantastic! She was communicative and quick to respond. She sent photos of our dogs to let us know they were doing well. We came home from a long road trip to happy dogs and a spotless house. We will definitely have her watch our dogs in the future!”

Camille D.

“Gardy did a great job with my neurotic dogs. As a bonus e we came home to a clean house and freshly mopped floors! Highly recommend”

Sandra G.

“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”

About: I have professional experience working at a veterinary kennel and am trained in proper medication and subcutaneous fluid administration. I also know how to work with anxious, elderly, and disabled pets. I love getting to know each pet’s personal needs and quirks in order to give them the best care possible! I am a recent college graduate and am doing pet sitting full time! This means I will be able to schedule my days around your pet‘s needs. My care includes feeding, walking, continuation of training, and giving pets all the love they deserve! I will be at your house as much as I can to give your pet the best experience. I am willing to help pets that need assistance getting around the house or that have other special needs. Overall, I want to create as safe, comforting, and loving of a space as possible for your pets while you’re away.

“We recently moved to the Raleigh area and were so lucky to find Caroline & Gavin on Rover and available for the weekend we needed care for our 2 dogs. We needed to be out of town for the weekend for our daughter’s wedding. Caroline & Gavin gave us numerous updates over the weekend and sent pictures. We felt so comfortable having them in our home caring for our dogs. We were able to relax and really enjoy the wedding without worry. One of our dogs is very nervous and unsure around new people. Caroline & Gavin were so calm and patient with her. They left our house in perfect condition too! We will definitely use them again!”

“Brings in packages and takes out my trash. Overall just goes above and beyond. Also my dog loves him. 10/10”

“I can't recommend Charisma highly enough for her exceptional care of my puppy! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Charisma took him to the dog park, where he had an absolute blast playing with her puppy for the day. By the time I picked him up, he had expended all his energy, which is exactly what I needed! Not only was he well-exercised, but he was also well-fed and clearly taken care of with the utmost attention and love. Charisma's communication throughout the day was fantastic; she kept me updated with adorable pictures and notes on how he was doing. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and fun caretaker for your pet, Charisma is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who wants the best for their furry friend. She truly goes above and beyond!”

“Rebooked Josh to watch our pups and he continues to be so amazing! Hands down the best at communicating during the stay and I am super grateful that I can trust my pups in his care! I continue to recommend him to anyone needing services that he offers. Thank you Josh! :)”
