“Jackson did a great job with Pluto! He followed the instructions to a tee and even made sure to turn the tv on Pluto on the exact YouTube channel he likes to watch! Excited to say I finally have someone that can do drop ins for Pluto!”

“Carissa was a great choice for looking after our cat when we were on vacation. We especially appreciated that on a day when our street was blocked off, she tried twice to reach oue house. And she sends lots of pictures!”
“Abigail recently watched my dog, River, for two days, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She truly went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she take River on regular walks and keep up with his routine, but she also sent me daily updates and the sweetest photos—which I absolutely loved! It was clear from the pictures and messages that River was happy, relaxed, and in great hands the whole time. Abigail’s care, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals really set her apart. I had total peace of mind while I was away. There’s nothing I would change about the experience. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and truly caring dog sitter.”

“Ella was so great with our cat! He can be shy and a little timid and warmed up to her immediately. Communication was awesome and we loved getting all of the cute pictures every day. Having Ella checking in while we were away gave us such peace of mind. We’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her regularly!”
“I’ve had Noel sit for me several times and she is amazing! She gives great updates and she clearly cares about the pets she’s looking after. She goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are okay and loved while you are away.”
“We were out of the country for 3 weeks and Diksha took the BEST care of our babies!!! She made sure at every check in that their litter boxes were clean, that they had all the attention, and gave us constant updates on everything going on with them! Our girls absolutely adored her and I know they are going to miss her so much. We will definitely be booking with her again! :) we cannot recommend her more.”
About: With over 10 years of dog care experience, including fostering, pet nannying, and raising my own pups, I provide reliable, attentive walking and drop-in visits. I’m confident with all breeds and energy levels, and I love helping dogs get the exercise, play, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I treat every dog like family and always aim to build trust and routine. As a full-time college student at NC State, I love staying busy and active. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I enjoy walks, drop-ins, and spending time with dogs as a fun, rewarding break from classes. Being around pups makes my home away from home even better, and I’m flexible around my class schedule to give your dog the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect. I follow all instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and always secure doors, leashes, and gates. I treat your home as my own: cleaning up pet areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure things are left better than I found them. Clear communication and happy pups are my top priorities!
“Pascale did an amazing job. Lala was taken care of while I was away and she met a new friend that she could play with. Thank you again for your help and amazing availability! ✨❤️”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families dogs ever since I was a kid. I can talk dogs out for walks and tire them out with lots of play! I have taken care of small and big dogs and would love to meet your furry friend! I am in between jobs looking for some extra money so I can work with your schedule! I would prefer during the workday as that is when I have the most time but I can work with you! My cat hangs out with me all day in my apartment and I love to give her love and bother her throughout the day so she doesn’t get bored! I will be sure to give your pet the attention and playtime that they want!
“Sarah was so amazing to work with! She went above and beyond to take care of my two doggies. We had to take a short notice trip and she responded quickly and was willing to work with us on what times worked best for us. She took them out multiple times and feed them. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Makayla was extremely responsible and communicative. Thanks to her understanding we were able to work around my extraordinary housing situation. I definitely recommend her and will be booking her in the future as well.”

If you need your dog to be energized and then tired out for when you come home. I'm Your girl! I take care of puppies and can provide a safe space for your senior dogs. I look for the dog to give me signs of what they need and I'm excited to create some amazing experiences with you pet. I bartend on the side so my schedule is pretty open.

Thea C.
“I’ve known Thea for 12 years, and she’s someone I can always count on. From the moment she met my dog, she completely fell in love with him and fully embraced the “dog owner” lifestyle—despite not having one of her own at the time! We’ve taken him on endless walks, brewery visits, and even traveled to new states together. She quickly became “Aunty Thea” to us. Whether I had a long shift at work, needed to travel, or attended a non-dog-friendly event, I could always drop him off with Thea and never once worry—he was always in the best hands. She recently adopted her own pup, who has endless energy, and it’s been amazing to watch how dedicated she’s been. She’s enrolled her in agility classes, extended their daily walks, and even signed up for mentally stimulating activities to make sure her dog gets the attention and care she needs. Thea is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely loved by all of our friends’ pets. If you’re looking for a sitter or a walker who will treat your dog like family—Thea is your girl!”

West pet parents share their Rover experiences
We contacted Alexis recently after we had a sitter cancel on us last minute before a family wedding across the country. She was our hero! She was prompt, professional, and great with our animals. She kept us updated throughout our trip on how our pets were doing, sent photos (bonus points for being a great pet photographer 🤣), and even cleaned up multiple accidents from our elderly dog with bladder control issues. Overall, I would definitely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a responsible & dependable petsitter.
Chloe was an absolute pleasure to leave our boys with! She was very professional and responsive, and her love for the four legged population shines through! She took the boys on walks and played in the yard, she cleaned their feeding mat and called when she was concerned about one of the boys skin allergies. We trusted her wholly! Will definitely be using again. Thank you!
Hannah was wonderful. She was on time, responsible, she sent me an update with photos at every visit and was very knowledgeable about pet care. She gave our pups lots of affection and playtime above the normal care. Our pups were happy and healthy upon our return from a week away. Don’t hesitate to book Hannah for your pets, she is awesome!
Abigail was great! She made sure our cat was fed with fresh food and water and even gave his litter box a clean. While our cat tends to hide for awhile when people come over, I know he was well taken care of and enjoyed the house visits while we were away. She was super flexible with times. Definitely recommend and would book again. Thanks so much!
