My dog is spoiled so I give him just about anything he wants. As I would do your animals, as well as follow whatever guidelines you may require.

I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. NC State animal science graduate with 13 years of small animal GP experience.

About: I have worked in pet care for a 9 years (Aug. 2014), and I love what I do. Providing the absolute best care for your pets is my passion, it’s not just a job to me. It is so important to ensure your pet is safe and sound while you’re away from them, and I go the extra mile to make that happen. I have a sit down with the owner to get all the information that I need and to get to know them and their pets I ask if there is anything specific I need to know such as health issues, anxiety, if they are reactive to something specific. I ask questions like do they chew, if they a runner or a climber, do they have allergies, is there a certain certain way to handle them to make them more comfortable, if they have a set schedule, how and when to feed, etc. I ask so many questions because it’s what I need to know to make sure I can properly take care of your baby. I spend time with the pet to observe behavior, movements, if they are shy or outgoing, how to react to loud noises, even their favorite treat or toy, and where they prefer to get rubs and scratches. You can tell a lot about how animal is feeling observing them. And if I have to sing them a lullaby and feed them with a spoon for them to be comfortable, then that is what I will do. I know what it’s like to have a love and deep connection with a pet, so I know how important your babies are to you. I promise I will treat your babies exactly the way I would want my baby to be treated. They deserve it. I am currently working a full-time job, with a very flexible schedule. I have a two hour window during lunch hours, I am available Most days of the week after 5 PM (I get off early one day an I get off early one day a week, )until 7 a.m. and I am available every weekend. I am able to adjust my lunch hours to accommodate your pets needs. Like I said previously, it’s important for me to get to know each pet I care for. Every pet has different needs. The care I give them, will meet each individual pet’s needs.
About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.
About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“I needed a dog sitter for a couple of hours and reached out to Rob. He responded quickly and was very courteous. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet girl in his care. She also appeared to be comfortable with Rob. I initially selected Rob because his profile stated that he was a dog trainer. I hope to have some training sessions in the near future. I'm so happy that I found a caring sitter that is very knowledgeable about dogs! Rob will be my go-to sitter from now on.”

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Whitakers choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Whitakers with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
