“Alberta was amazing with our senior dog! She sent pictures and updates and has excellent communication. I could tell she paid close attention to our dogs moods and needs during her stay. I really appreciate Alberta and highly recommend her!”
“Our dog Sasha always has a great time staying with Nick and Katie. She loves playing with Lady and snuggling with them on the couch. She always comes home tired and happy. I know she is going hands when she stays there. ”
“Andres was wonderful. Great communication prior to the stay. He welcomes the dogs in his house. One of our dogs actually slept with him. I couldn't ask for anything more.”
“Jenning was great through this whole process. This was my first time using rover and leaving Nipsey with anybody. She was very helpful and knowledgable prior to booking and during his stay. She kept me updated with both pictures and videos and was easy to communicate with. She also gave me a list of things to pack prior to arriving and gave me a few pointers and suggestions for new things to order. Highly recommend Jenning to anyone looking to book, she cared Nipsey like her own.”
“Katie is amazing and you can tell definitely an animal lover. She took such good care of my Chihuahua, even sent updates of how he was doing. I would definitely have Katie watch him in the future if I ever need a sitter again.”
“Katheryn was amazing! She treated my puppy like her own and made the whole experience stress-free. This was my first time using Rover and trusting someone I met online to care for my pup, so I was a bit nervous but Katheryn quickly put my mind at ease. She was super responsive, and even sent me adorable photo updates, which I really appreciated! I felt totally comfortable knowing my puppy was in such caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs in my family for more than 20 years. I work with high energy puppies to senior pets includes walking, feeding and loving. I am currently available 7 days a week. I am home everyday until October 1 then a modified schedule of boarding, daily, weekly with work schedule as a teacher. Our family dogs are well cared for loved, walked, fed, with play and space if pet needs it. If dogs need crate, pee lads we can work with that as well.
“This was my first time using Rover. Our stay with Adriene was wonderful. Sheldon has only stayed overnight with family or a close friend previously. Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”
“Shanisa was so good to Casper during a very strange time for our family! This was a last minute booking in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, as we kept having to plan and replan how long we were going to stay away from our home in North Carolina, and with what family member. We had to extend, then shorten, and it all worked out in the end. Shanisa communicated well through the beginning of Casper's stay while they were figuring each other out, and then sent cute photos and updates throughout his stay. She took him to the dog park to run and socialize, which kept him happy. Casper was well-cared-for and relaxed when we finally came to get him and head home. I will definitely contact Shanisa again whenever we are in Wilmington!”
“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
About: Having grown up on a farm, I loved caring for all the animals and always had deep reverence for their individual characters and personalities. I love creating opportunities for them to be themselves, but also engage in play, foodies, and snuggle time (whenever it might suit them). I am a full time teacher, so during the summers, I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, but during the school year, I can be found working Monday-Friday 7am to 3-5pm (depending on my after school commitments). Should your fur baby require additional attention, I do have some options mid-day for potty breaks or specific needs, but it would have to be discussed and fully planned in advance. I have a large apartment with ample space for a small or medium sized dog who is cat-friendly to stay with us. Additionally, should you want to board your cat, I have the space for an additional kitty to stay either apart from my cats in a large, sun-filled room or (in the event your cat is socialized to be with other cats) in the apartment with my cats. (However, given the territorial nature of cats, we understand that this can prove tricky and would only be available if all cats were in agreement.)
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work M-F as a nurse but I’m usually done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊
“Tariq was a fantastic Dog sitter and made sure Bella our Lab got lots of exercise and had plenty of fun while we were away. Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”
