About: I have two dogs personally and have been a dog sitting for friends & family for many years. Whether your pet needs structured playtime, quiet companionship, or a little help getting around, I’ve got it covered! I work full time from home so I am always home to help with whatever your dog needs may be. I take my personal dogs on multiple walks per day during my breaks and will be happy to provide the same care for your dogs. I have a back deck with a gate that is completely closed in that my dogs personally LOVE! We sit out there and sunbathe and watch the birds. I also take them on multiple walks per day to make sure we are getting plenty of exercise. In the evenings and on weekends we like to venture out for a hike or go to the local dog park.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to show my little Honey love and attention during her visit with her. She sent me photos and updated me the whole time about how she was doing which made me feel so at ease being that this was only the 2nd time I have left Honey with anyone but family. If I’m ever in the area and need a sitter again I will most definitely be contacting Heather on here! Thanks Heather and family!”

About: Both Steve and I have had dogs our entire lives. We have cared for pups of all ages. From young who are leaning potty training to senior pups and those who require medication. We love spending time with our pups from hiking, neighborhood walks to throwing balls in the back yard. We have 2 pups of our own- Layla our 11yr old senior who lays around most of the day unless she decides she wants to attend one of our many walks. Then there is Riley who is 2-3. She loves playing keep away, trying to keep one of her dozen squeaky toys, away from mom and dad. Both are dog friendly once they have a chance to meet other dog (aka sniff butt). We know how important it is to have someone you trust when I comes to caring for your pups when you can’t. We believe that any dog in our care will be spoiled with love and attention. Both my husband and I work from home so we are available to tend to any special needs. Our pups love to go on walks 3-4 times per day. While we are working the pups can lounge around inside or sun bathe outside in our fenced yard. We have a 4 ft chain link fenced yard, can take dog for multiple walks throughout the day. We can administer medication if needed, feed on any schedule needed.
About: I wanted to take a job that would allow me to be at home most of the time for my doggies. I think animals are Gods creatures that He created for us .... love unconditionally! I have had dogs & cats of all breeds growing up. Animals are such great therapeutic. They are beautiful and I would care for your animals just like they’re my own! I have learn animals are much more than companions they are a huge part of our loves. They are there to love on you. To comfort you ... they know when you’re down and they want you to be happy. I sometimes would rather spend time with animals rather than humans. Lol Animals KNOW when you’re a good person. I’ve learn to trust their instincts❤️🐶 I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to meet your needs for your furbabies Early mornings thru early evenings or in between are preferred :) I love pets! (Prob better than humans. Lol) I have 2 dogs of my own & have crates if needed. I can come to your house to take care of your babies if needed (not overnight tho) :)
“Sarah was amazing. Mr. McMcBeevee had separation anxiety and we had just arrived to our new town. Sarah was able to accommodate us on short notice. Her calm, sweet nature was just what my sweet pup needed. Her helpers (kiddos) gave him all the love and attention he deserved. He loved playing with their labradoodle, Ryder. As a travel nurse, I appreciated the updates and pictures. Mr McBevee looks forwards to rebooking in the future”

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. From a young child to current day, I've always had a pet in my life. I have cared for outdoor dogs, indoor dogs, fish, and snakes. I've also cared for and been around most ages of dogs from 8 week puppies to elderly companions. I love spending time outdoors with them, sunshine, snow, pools, treks, mud, or wherever. My two kids are in school so I'll have plenty of time for your pet. My kids are comfortable around pets so even after school, I'm still available for care. I'm also available to board any day or night of the week. I'm close to parks and Pilot Mountain trails. I have plenty of backyard space for you pet to run and even a ramp entrance for pets with mobile difficulties. I have a backyard space for healthy walking/running. I have plenty of toys to keep your pet active and cushions for relaxing. I have a crate available if needed. I also have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. My dog is allowed on all the furniture in the house and yours is welcome to join in for cuddles.
“Karyssa and her family were communicative about pick-up, drop-off, and events during the daycare. Gumby had a great time hanging out with her family. We couldn’t recommend her more 🐶! 10/10 would do it again.”

“Elizabeth was able to accommodate Sushi very last minute which I EXTREMELY appreciated!! My dog tends to get overstimulated when around bigger dogs and Elizabeth sent helpful updates throughout his stay.”

About: I am a puppy mom of two loveable border collie crosses and one German Shepherd! We have a large front yard for the dogs to run as well as a farm to explore. My husband and I have had dogs all our life, but we got our first together in 2016 and added the second addition September 2017. Our third pup was added in 2025. On the weekends we take hiking trips and would love to have your pup join us on our adventures. I have my own business and work from home, so they would have as many breaks as needed. Your pup would be in great hands with us. I work from home, with my own business, so I have a lot of flexibility in caring for your pet! Outside time and rest breaks are able to fit right into my schedule. In our primary residence we have 3 dogs, all of which are crate trained. For my office space though I am able to have it dog free should your pet need that.
“Andrea was so amazing to my baby girl Kylie. Kylie instantly loved her and felt comfortable. She communicated well, set updates and pics. I can tell kyky had a good time with her, her pups and family. Thank you again Andrea. I will be using her again.”
About: I am an owner of a pit bull. He’s been my baby for eight years. He's a rescue dog. I love all sorts of dogs and would love to look after yours with love and care. I work remotely so I can be flexible with care for your fur babies. They will get my full love and attention. Their well being is my priority. I will check on your pet to make sure they’re doing ok. I take them on a walk and ensure they have plenty of food and water.
About: From playful puppies to wise old souls, I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Every tail wag gets the love and attention it deserves love. I’m currently a grad student, but when i get home I have plenty of time with my pets. My husband also works from home, so we would be a team on Rover! I live on a secluded 65 acre farm, we also can provide fencing if needed. We also can crate your baby if needed, but our pets roam inside and outside since this land is isolated from the road.
“Maria and John were super friendly and flexible with my last minute booking. They have lots of space in their home and backyard for dogs to run. Celie felt their kind energy right away.”

“Talia and Austin were so sweet. After the meet & greet, my dogs were so excited to be dropped off for a daycare visit. They never even looked back! Talia & Austin sent me videos of my two pups throughout the day which was much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”

“I am a travel nurse and was in Winston-Salem from mid October thru mid January and Natalie and her daughter watched my chihuahua Lilah on my workdays. Lilah loved her daycare days and loved to play with her daughter and her dogs Raegan and Kennedy. She knew when I pulled into their driveway and would start wagging her tail and trembling a little with excitement. On her last day, when I rang the doorbell to drop her off, Lilah was even scratching their door to get inside faster lol. I was happy Lilah had a place to stay and to play and definitely recommend Natalie (and her daughter) for all your dogsitting needs! Lilah always came home tired from playing and went straight to bed and slept all night :)”

About: I have had a cat and a dog since I was young, so I understand the need to be attentive at all times. I understand the need to be caring but yet stern. I have trained my current dog, Frankie. I think what sets me apart is the ability to be playful with dogs, and my calm and patient demeanor. I have a dog and two cats so I am constantly taking my dog for walks, cleaning up after the cats, feeding all of the animals, and changing the litter for the cats. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and follow their usual routine. I make sure they get attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I maintain feeding, and medication schedule.
