About: I have grown up around dogs, my entire life, and have had responsibilities to take care of them since I was a child. Neighbors and roommates have trusted me with their overnight care for 15 years now. I am excited to start dogsitting regularly to gain more experience and continue working while I’m in school. When I am with my family, dogs are a part of the daily routine. I understand the importance of incorporating their needs with my schedule, because they are a member of the house. When I am home with my parents, dogs are a part of the family routine. When I am watching my roommate’s dog, she stays with me most of the day when I am home and follows my routine.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior needing a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’ve completed in-home pet sitting for an elderly Husky with incontinence issues, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs, medication routines, accidents, and providing the extra attention they deserve. I also cared for my own dog through two battles with liver cancer, which taught me the importance of compassion, consistency, and paying attention to the little things. These days, I’m the proud dog mom of a young pup who’s finally made it through the “terrible twos,” so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs, training, and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I also have a sweet red-nose Pit Bull who is an absolute angel at home—but definitely reminds me to stay on my toes during walks because she loves to pull! Thanks to her, I’m confident handling strong, enthusiastic walkers. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I’m a full-time dog mom and a fitness trainer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I live in an apartment community with plenty of safe walking paths and a beautiful pond, so daily walks are a regular part of our routine. Every “special walk” includes a stop by the community center, where pups get a well-earned treat (with your permission, of course!). I’ll also make sure they have plenty of playtime, fresh water, affection, and lots of updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Bailey made drop-in visits for our kitty while we were out of town. She was professional and communicative throughout the process. She took several photos each visit and let our kitty out on the screened porch for some outside time, which I know he appreciated. We will definitely book her again!”

“Ava is absolutely amazing! I had flight changes and a small home renovation going on during her stay and she was nothing but understanding, accommodating and reassuring! I will 100% rebook with Ava! Thank you so much for everything!”

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Both my dogs are rescues and they warmed right up to Bleiz. I have the utmost confidence that my girls are in the best hands when I travel. I would definitely recommend Bleiz to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets.”

“Allie was wonderful with our cats. She stayed and spent time with them, which I appreciated. My Sophie loves attention. Allie looking after these two definitely gave us peace of mind, they were in great hands.”


About: I have experience with training puppies, and I’ve watched dogs from Dachshunds to Great Danes! I am a huge dog lover, and I’d love to spend time with yours while I miss mine back home! I am a student, so I will be gone for hours long periods throughout the day. However, this has not been an issue in the past! I follow every direction from the client, as they know their dog’s routine best. I love to spend personal time with the pets too, whether lounging on the couch or going for a walk!
About: Since I was 10 I was the go-to petter sitter in my neighborhood! I have always grown up with dogs, having 2 high energy golden retrievers myself back at home!! I am a very bubbly and playful person that LOVES to take dogs on walks to throwing the ball around! Also on my free time I will volunteer at the New Hanover Humane Society, and have been doing so since September 2025!! I am only working part time at night as a restaurant host, with shifts lasting up to 4 hours! I am also a student at UNCW that will only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Fall semester starts! Would only be interested in coming to the house as I do not live in a place with a backyard! Currently in an apartment building!
About: I treat every pet as if they are my own. I have grown up with dogs and have my own. I’ll sent photos and updates and I am quick to respond. I work from home so I can hang out all day with them, take walks during the day, cuddles, play time, etc. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of. If they are having a sleepover, I have a yard beside my house I can let them run and I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them.** I have a dog of my own that LOVES new friends and to play. He is featured in my profile. If boarding at my house, dog has to get along** I’m also available to come let out and take your dog(s) on a walk throughout the day.

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.
“Our pups love Andrea! I can tell they got a lot of energy out when she comes and she is very attentive to their needs. She is also quick to respond to texts and communications and understands our dogs’ personalities well.”
About: From a young age I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, who are 15 and 11, that I take care of. I also have previous experience taking care of my roommate’s Frenchie who is 5 years old. When I was younger I used to dogsit my neighbor’s 18 year old pug! I have lots of experience with all different shapes and sizes of dogs, as well as all ages. I am equipped to bathe, walk, feed, and clean up after dogs and most of all play with them on a daily basis. I am currently in the process of applying to graduate school and saving for tuition costs. I am free any day of the week including weekends! I am tidy and responsible when it comes to looking after a pet. I have lived with and raised two dogs who are now “elderly” and have a strict regimen on medication and feeding habits. I know of many veterinary practices in the area and have studied ways that pets might show distress incase of an emergency. I will make sure to lock up after I leave and secure any gates or doors in the house to keep the pet in a specific area of the home if need be.

About: I have been helping family and friends take care of their pets for many years. I have dog sit puppies from age 8 weeks to older dogs who require a bit more care! I would love to help your family and take care of your sweet fur babies! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your sweet pets! My work hours are 2-6 so my morning and evening will be dedicated to your pets! As I will be providing in home care, I can easily do anything needed of me! I am very tentative with my surroundings and will make sure you pet is in a safe environment always!
About: Hi, I'm Elizabeth! Dogs haven't just been a part of my life—they have been my entire life. Growing up with dogs since childhood, I have over 30 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet owner. Over the decades, I’ve loved and cared for some pretty incredible rescues, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments, behaviors, and unique backgrounds. My personal pack has included everything from the high energy of a beautiful Golden Retriever to the wonderful, grateful souls of two rescued Black Labs. I am also currently the proud parent of a sweet senior Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who requires daily medication and a very energetic and active 1.5 yr old Lab/Hound rescue. Managing senior care and strict medical schedules is second nature to me, so if your pup needs a gentle touch, precise pill administration, or just a little extra patience, they are in highly capable hands. Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy who needs to burn off some energy or a sweet senior who prefers a quiet cuddle, I treat every guest like a member of my own family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the safe, loving, and attentive care they deserve while you're away! Pet care isn't just a task for me—it’s the anchor of my daily routine. Since I work from home, my days naturally revolve around the needs of my own pack, starting with early morning walks or runs and daily trips to the dog park. Because I maintain a highly structured and active routine at home, stepping away for regular potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air is already second nature to me. Whether it's keeping a high-energy pup active and engaged or ensuring a sweet senior gets their quiet resting time, your dog will seamlessly blend into a day already filled with love, structure, and plenty of attention. My home is a true haven for dogs, fully set up to mirror the love, safety, and structure they get at home. Guests have the freedom to lounge in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and dedicated spaces for peaceful downtime. Because I am highly experienced with managing multiple dog personalities your pup’s specific routine will be followed to the letter. Walks, playtime, and potty breaks are built into the day to keep active dogs happy. Safety and supervision are my top priorities, ensuring a stress-free environment where your furry family member can feel entirely secure, loved, and pampered while you're away.
About: I have been a dog sitter/babysitter for over 8 years and love puppies and kids.. I dog-sit/babysit throughout my neighborhood an I am super reliable to neighbors. I have three family dogs and have been a reliable nurse for 2 years! Depends on my nursing schedule. I work 3 night shifts per week and it varies each week! I love helping with animals on my days off! I have two mini golden doodles and one 15 year old shi tzu Pomeranian. I trained both doodles myself and have years of experience walking friends and neigbors pets.
“Hannah did a great job taking care of our dogs and cats while we were away. She was very kind and communicative and we were able to enjoy our trip away! We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a petsitter in the area.”

“Stephanie was great with Buster!! Always on time and attentive to keep his normal schedule while we were out of town! She even made Buster little pup treats! Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up, I have always loved animals and cared for neighbors and family's pets while they were away. In high school, I started reaching out to neighborhood groups and have now sat for animals as small as fish, bunnies, and ferrets, to as big as pitbulls and even the occasional horse! I have a kitty of my own and will always care for your pets as I do for him! I am in school full-time, so drop-ins and walks work the best for me. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are available to care for your furry friend! I always make the most of those visits - food, hugs, cuddles, walks, and lots of play time! I always like to ensure any animal feels safe with me when I watch them. Slow and friendly, while confident, movements at first is always my go-to. Any pet always gets the most love and attention while I'm with them, and I leave them feeling cared for and comfortable while their parents are away.

About: I am a teacher with plenty of spare time this summer! I am enjoying my much needed rest and relaxation, but I have so much extra energy! I hope I can provide your pet with the love and care they deserve! I grew up with dogs, as well as dog sitting for friends and family, including senior dogs and newborn puppies. More recently I have looked after dogs on Rover and have had nothing but positive experiences. I love taking care of animals and I have plenty of time to spare! I am a teacher, so over the summer I am available full time! I love going to the beach when I can, and taking long walks in the sun! I am very clean, so if you chose to have me come to your home it will be left nicer than it was when I arrived. I would love to be able to have pets come to me, but that is not currently an option.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.

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.
