About: My name is Olivia (Liv) and I'm a working professional with a love for dogs. I graduated from NC State and the university of South Carolina. I love little furry friends and I enjoy play time and will take great care of your dog like I do my own. I am available as needed and can make necessary arrangements to ensure you and your pup are taken care of! I am flexible ,dependable, and can make any accommodations as necessary. I am willing to stay in your home so your baby can be in their own environment, pop in for visits, or just go for walks! I'm here for you! Message me, I'd love to talk and answer any questions or discuss how to best accommodate you! Currently working from home so I have a flexible schedule that I can do walks during the day and constantly check in as needed. My schedule is pretty consistent. My apartment is a townhome style with plenty of space to move around and the neighborhood is very safe and walkable. The safety of your pet is my priority always. I have A baby/doggy gate to prevent accidents on the stairs.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for multiple families over the past 8 years, providing reliable care through drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I grew up with dogs of my own, gaining hands-on experience in everything from potty training puppies to caring for senior dogs. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’m currently finishing up grad school and have full availability for bookings throughout April. Starting in May, I’ll be available Friday evenings and weekends outside of my clinical hours. I honor each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Nontombe made me feel so wonderful about being able to leave my pet in her care! She was wonderful, took several pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook with Nontombe :)”
“Jada was able to help us with our cats on short notice and did an awesome job. Based on the pictures she sent us, even the skittish cat we have took a liking to her!”
About: I have over three years of hands‑on experience caring for animals through rescue work, fostering, and running my own small home‑based refuge. I’m also a Certified Veterinary Assistant, which means I’m trained in safe handling, medication administration, senior care, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness.I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs — from confident, easygoing dogs to shy, anxious, reactive, or medically fragile animals. I’m extremely patient and calm, and I always tailor my approach to each pet’s personality.What sets me apart is the level of experience I bring from rescue work. I’m used to managing routines, enrichment, special diets, mobility support, and behavior quirks. I treat every pet like an individual and make sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable.Whether your pet needs slow introductions, extra reassurance, structured walks, or a gentle, steady presence, I’m confident and experienced in providing the kind of care that helps them relax and enjoy their time with me. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my daily life. I run a small home‑based animal rescue and I’m a certified veterinary assistant, so caring for animals is part of my morning and evening routine every single day.I’m used to structured schedules, medication timing, feeding routines, enrichment, and making sure every animal gets the attention they need. Because I’m already out and about with my own dogs, adding walks or drop‑in visits fits naturally into my day.Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit, I’m consistent, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. Safety is always my first priority. As a certified veterinary assistant and the founder of a small home‑based rescue, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs.When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly — feeding, medications, potty breaks, crate time, and any house rules you have in place. I always double‑check doors, gates, and locks, and I never take risks with safety.For walks, I use secure leashing, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to body language and surroundings. I don’t allow off‑leash time unless it’s in a fully fenced yard with your permission.My goal is to make your pet feel safe, calm, and understood while keeping your home secure and respected. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give to the animals in my rescue.
“Jeffery was so great with my four cats! He made sure to send me updates and pictures every day while I was out of town for thanksgiving. They loved snuggling him and he took great care of my older baby who needed daily meds. Prompt and communicative and very sweet soul!”
“Nicole, is the best sitter for my fur babies!! Nicole, is a very thoughtful and caring human and my 2 cats took to her immediately. I also appreciate her availability on a short notice request to sit for my cats. Thank you for your kindness.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I can remember! I come from a long line of animal lovers, and I’ve done everything from neighborhood dog sitting to specialized care in the neonatal unit of my local Animal Care and Control. I have three cats of my own and a sweet elderly dog, and I can’t wait to show your pet the love they deserve! I wake early to be with my own animals, and thus am available to care for yours in the morning and evenings, along with weekends. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted for your needs. In your home, I will be attentive to your pet’s needs and your instructions. I am an enthusiastic but gentle caregiver and your preferences for your pets come first.
“Jade was so great! She was so accommodating with a last minute request and definitely made me feel at ease being away from my two pups for a few nights with her drop-ins. She always sent through great pics and updates about the dogs. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Somiya was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of my dog. She sent photos every day, always showed up on time and made everything so simple. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Carlisle and her husband did an amazing job on making sure my babies were okay while I was on vacation! She sent pictures of my girls each drop in visit and I couldn’t be more appreciative. This is always the hard part for me when going out of town, but I’m so glad I used Rover and booked with Carlisle. Thank you two again!! ❤️”
“Hannah was stellar! I had a somewhat last minute request and she was able to fit me into her schedule and still found time to do a meet and great. Her visit cards were thorough and thoughtful. I would definitely rebook.”
“Sydney was wonderful with Bella! She was very patient when Bella was shy hiding under the bed. She played with her, gave her treats and sent me daily pictures of her. I will definitely use Sydney again. I highly recommend her.”
Westwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩
I can’t say enough good things about Aunt Cindy! Leaving our cats is never easy, and this was the first time we had left some of them with a sitter, so I was definitely anxious. From day one, her detailed Rover cards, consistent updates, and tons of photos helped put my mind at ease. I genuinely looked forward to every update and felt so much better knowing exactly how everyone was doing. Our cats are very shy and don’t get much exposure to people outside of our household, so I fully expected some of them to spend the entire time hiding. To my surprise, she managed to get even our shyest cats to come out, play, and engage with her. That alone speaks volumes about her patience and understanding of animals. She also administered medication to our cat Penelope without any issues and clearly paid attention to each cat’s individual personality and needs. What stood out most to me was how obvious her love for animals is. She genuinely cares, and as a pet parent, that means everything. It made my heart so happy knowing our cats were being cared for by someone who loves animals as much as we do. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and complete peace of mind. I would book with her again in a heartbeat and honestly wouldn’t hesitate to pay whatever rate she asked. She is absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
We left our boys for the first time overnight and we were very nervous about it because they have a lot of stomach issues so feeding is peculiar. Niagara was absolutely amazing and accommodating to ease our minds! We will definitely be looking to book her again!
