About: Hi! My name is Phinette! Growing up, I have always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I had three small dogs who I am so grateful I got to grow up with until they were in their late teens. My family rescued our current pit bull mix, Oakley, 6 years ago, who is now reaching his elderly years, as well as six cats! I truly love seeing the different personalities in each animal and finding out what makes them unique. I am great with high energy dogs including puppies, love being active, so I would love to help get their energy out with walks/runs! I am currently a Physical Therapist Assistant student and attend school Monday–Thursday, typically from 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. My availability will change throughout October and November, so I’ve outlined my schedule below to make it easier to see when and where I’m available! **House Sitting** **Through October 7:** I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting, especially toward the Chapel Hill/Pittsboro area since I commute there for school. **October 8–26:** I’ll have open availability and can travel to a wider area for house sitting. **October 27–November 20:** I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area from approximately 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so I’ll primarily be looking for house sitting opportunities closer to Angier/Lillington. However, I’m happy to travel farther for longer stays! **After November 20:** I’ll have open availability throughout December and the holidays. **Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits** **Through October 7:** Available Friday–Sunday all day, as well as evenings Monday–Thursday. **October 8–26:** Open availability every day! **October 27–November 20:** Available Monday–Friday in the evenings and Saturday–Sunday all day. I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area during the weekdays, so weekday requests closer to Angier/Lillington are preferred. **After November 20:** Open availability throughout December and the holidays! I know how scary it can be to have someone you don’t know stay in your home and care for your pet. That’s why it’s really important to me to build a relationship and trust with my clients, so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is in your home. I’ll make sure your pet and your home are in the best care possible while you’re away, and I have a feeling your pet and I will become best friends by the time you get back! I absolutely love sending pictures and updates, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re gone! If you’re someone who doesn’t need as many updates, that’s completely fine too. I’m happy to send them as often or as little as you’d like. I also make sure to check my phone regularly while house sitting, so you’ll always be able to reach me if you need anything. I’m someone who actually loves detailed instructions because they help me make sure I’m doing everything exactly how your pet is used to. I want to keep their normal routine as much as possible while you’re away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so you may come home to your house looking a little cleaner than when you left it!
“Chelsea was great and bonded with my 4 cats (some skittish) right away. The feedings went well over my 4 day holiday judging from all the photos Chelsea sent me twice a day. Plus messages from her everyday which made me feel even more secure. I highly recommend Chelsea for all your pet's needs.”
“Charlotte did an amazing job with drop-ins and dog walking. She had great communication and was attentive throughout the whole week. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Lauren is amazing! She were so attentive with our dog and sent lots of updates and photos, which we loved. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great sitter! 🥰🥰”
About: I've been an animal lover all my life and have taken care of a variety of animals like rabbits, cats and kittens, ferrets, and dogs and puppies. Neighbors, classmates, coworkers, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and generally offer a home away from home experience for their pets. I also have some training in the veterinary field and have a background in Biology and medication management. I'm also a fellow customer on Rover and I offer the same top-notch experience that I look for in my sitters. My goal is to ensure your peace of mind and to guarantee that your fur family member(s) have the best time when we hang out together. I've done boarding in the pets' homes, dog walking, cat walking, boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and administering medications (including injections). Currently, I am offering drop-in visits in your home and dog (or cat!) walking. I also love to take care of animals like fish, ferrets, and birds! I have a flexible schedule and would love to either drop in for a visit with your fur family members or to take them out for a walk in the great outdoors. I am a highly conscientious caretaker and will do my best to provide a seamless experience when I am taking care of your pet. My current fur family has a variety of needs, so I have lots of experience managing multiple pets and multiple types of care at the same time. For example, my dog, Cedar, is a senior pup and requires injections once a week and daily oral medications, so I've gotten creative to find a routine that works best for him. I have 2 cats, one who is a grazer and one who eats every kibble in sight, so feeding has been an adventure. But, I'm always ready for a challenge and I enjoy giving the best possible care to every pet I encounter. I share these examples to show that I am adaptable and open to whatever type of care your fur family member(s) need.
About: I've had pets since I was a kid and always loved animals. My grandparents had a farm, so cats and dogs were a part of regular life for me over the summers. I've raised dogs from puppies, and rescued one of my cats, who was a stray. I've got experience with older animals as well, one of my cats is 16 and one of the dogs is 13. I'm a stay-at-home Dad, so my schedule is somewhat flexible. I'm mostly looking to fill the days when my youngest is out of the house. I'm happy to talk walks on leash or off, parks or hikes, running around in the yard. I'm also happy to put them into a crate or room if needed
About: I’ve cared for dogs for my whole life, my family always had dogs growing up, and now my own fur baby is about to turn 10! I will make your pets feel comfortable while their favorite people are away, from playtime, to walks, to meal time. I have experience giving medications, and my dog recently had a TPLO surgery so I got much more comfortable with post surgery and more intense dog care. Anything your pet needs, I’ll be there! I’m currently working as a freelance social media manager, and making my own content, so I can check on your pets all throughout the day! While I don’t offer boarding or house sitting, I will make your pets feel supported and loved while their favorite people are away! My own dog loves long walks, playing fetch, and learning new tricks.
“David and Johanna did a wonderful job with our cats. I know the cats were well cared for seemed very happy when we returned. They also brought in delivered packages which was very helpful. We will definitely rebook! Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, I learned the basics such as what are different ways a dog is feeling based upon its actions. I’ve grown to learn more and I’m here to serve all sorts of dogs and cater to they're needs. I’m currently a community college student who’s also working part time so I’ll have ample amount of time to take care of your fur baby’s. If needed we have three funny dogs who are very friendly and a fenced in yard who would love to spend time with your dogs!
About: I've never lived without having a pet. Dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and guinea pigs have brought enormous amounts of joy and love to my life. Each pet still has a special place in my heart, and I care for others pets as if they were my own. Pets are family! I work part-time and would love to meet and care for your pets in my free time! I currently have a puppy and 2 cats of my own. My puppy (Duck) was being rehomed by a family that discovered their son is allergic to dogs, and I couldn't resist his sweet face. My orange cat (Goose) was taken in after my daughter's friend's cat had kittens, and my big black cat (Apache) was adopted from the Right Meow cat cafe in Fuquay. My apartment has a dog park, which i go to 1-2 times a day with my puppy, Duck. I've taught him how to use the agility equipment, and he always loves to play between sniff sessions. My cats are big cuddle babies, but also like their space at times, so their requests for personal space (and treats) is always respected.
“Kelsey was absolutely wonderful for our two pups! She gave us a great update of how both of them were doing and gave SO many pictures, which we just love. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience working with dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Providing safe, reliable, and attentive care is something I take seriously, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am currently a full-time student, which allows me to spend lots of time at home. Your pet will receive plenty of attention and will not be left unattended for extended periods. Our home has a fenced yard and is located in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Pets are treated like family here and are welcome throughout the home.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Spring
Liz did the best job taking care of Tahoe for a week! She was very prepared and thorough beforehand. During the visit, she sent frequent updates. We could tell Tahoe was being loved and cared for. She also left our house in perfect condition. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! We will definitely be using Liz again.
Amanda was a fantastic sitter for our dog that requires bladder expression. This was the first time we’ve been away from the dogs and used a sitter, we were very nervous but the experience could not have better for us or the dogs. Amanda’s attention to detail, veterinary background, and clear and frequent communication put us at ease the entire time we were away from the pups!
Our family had a great experience with Emma watching our pup, Buster. She was responsive, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. Buster clearly felt comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!

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 Willow Spring 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!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
