About: I do work a full time job August-May as a cafeteria manager at a school, so please check my calendar for availability. :) I have hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs. I approach every animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine love. I have two rescues: Athena, an 8-year-old beagle, and Ford, an 8-year-old black lab/German shepherd mix. My daily routine already revolves around playtime, and snuggles so adding more furry friends to the mix is second nature to me. I always aim to keep pets in a stress free and familiar environment, whether that’s in your home or out on a walk. I follow your care instructions and give regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I do not offer boarding at this time due to my own dog’s needs, but I’m committed to safe, thoughtful care in your home!

About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines.  Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch.  However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

About: Ive taken care of animals for 2 year at a dog daycare, friends and family have relied on me, to walk, feed and bathe their pets… I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding on weekends, and on weekdays anytime I have a fenced in mini barn and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed…

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, medication, or quiet companionship. I’m working toward becoming a certified dog trainer, I approach every pet with patience and curiosity. I care deeply about understanding each animal’s individual behavior, needs, and personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking summer classes remotely and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am available at various times throughout the day. I’m home for the summer and primarily serve Trinity and surrounding areas. During the school year, I attend college in Charlotte and offer pet care services in that area as well. I also have a senior golden retriever who keeps me on my toes with regular walks and fresh air breaks, so I understand the importance of consistent routines and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your furry friend in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I closely follow any routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels right at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, with regular updates so you always know how they’re doing

About: I am a volunteer and foster for a local animal rescue program of the triad. I currently have 3 dogs and a foster dog, who I am adopting. Love to play with dogs and walk them :). I am very flexible and can definitely work around your schedule. I am retiring from my job, and looking for something that I can say I love to do, which is be around animals and take care of them. Whether you need someone to stop in and let them out or take them for a walk or jog, I am your go to sitter. The one thing I don't want is for the pet owner to worry or stress about leaving their animal. Rest assured I will take excellent care of your animal. Whether it be a walk around the neighborhood, throwing the ball, or cuddles on the couch, I am available for all of these needs.

“Megan is a wonderful dog walker. She is always on timer and takes extra care to figure out what’s best for them. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”

About: Never feel guilty again for leaving your pup home, while you’re at work bringing home the bacon! Rest easy on your vacation, long day (or night!) at work, or whatever the case may be: I’m always here for you. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I've had dogs all my life; I am very comfortable with all the different breeds of dogs. Throughout my childhood, I usually had anywhere between 2 to 3 dogs at any given time; at this point in my life I have two pets of my own. My oldest dog is a 5 pound Yorkshire Terriers named Denim age 10+. My second dog is a 10 pound Maltese Poodle named Windsor age 3+. I have a lot of help and support from my boyfriend Michael when it comes to taking care of our pups, so expect a dynamic duo when it comes to your pets. I am currently enrolled in college and I am actively working on finishing my second Associates’ degree in Interior Design, graduation date Spring 2020. From there I plan on finishing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior Architecture expected graduation date 2022. I am a very active person I go on long walks, hikes, jogs, and runs so your dog will be perfect company for me. We can go on leashed walks throughout Lake Thom-A-Lex Park or throughout my residential neighborhood. When staying at my house your dog will get plenty of tender, love, and care. They will have oodles of attention and fun. My goal is to tire them out so when it’s time to go home to you their ready for bed. I work from home so I will provide 24-hour supervision to your dog. I appreciate active communication and will provide regular updates and feedback on your pet. I welcome the same. I am a very responsible person, who is very reliable and understanding, I will accommodate the specific needs of both you and your dog. Working with Rover I have had the opportunity to care for an even greater variety of fur babies. I understand that dogs are part of your family and I would love to care for them as if they were part of my own. I have experience with dogs losing their sight and hearing.

About: I have multiple years of in house boarding, leashed walking, and boarding kennel experience. I love to run and am available to take the most active doggos of 5k jogs, guaranteed to get out all of that energy and have the best naps after. I've cared for toy to extra large breeds as well as puppies and senior pets. I have a rescue pittie named JoJo, so bully breeds are my favorite, but any day caring for an animal is a great day! I am self employed and live a nomad lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pets that need more attention and care. I also offer running with your pet, best for high energy doggos. Having your pet stay in their home while you are away is the best way to keep them happy and at ease. I attend to their routines just as you do and ensure you have plenty of updates of how they are.

About: I am an animal loving, outdoorsy girl. I have four dogs and three cats of my own. Two of my dogs were bottle raised and the other two have medical conditions, which adds to my pet care experience. If there are specifications or preferences in regards to the care of your pet, just let me know and I'm sure I can work with whatever you feel is best for you and your animal. No pet is too big or too small! I currently work full time from home and can be available multiple times a day and/or week if necessary. I love to go on walks, so having the company of your furry companion would be a treat! I currently have a multiple cats and dogs in my home, so I cannot board your pet. But if you need someone to walk or play with your dog throughout the day or stop in to provide food, water, and love to your cat while you’re away, I would be honored!

“Megan was amazing and saved me at the last minute when I needed someone!”

About: I’ve loved and taken care of all sorts of dogs and cats since I was little. I currently have 7 doggies living in my home at the moment with 3 of them being foster puppies. I’ve taken care of senior dogs, pregnant moms, little puppies, and every age in between. I’m very detail oriented and great at communication so if you have a special requests I’ll make sure to follow them to a T! I’d also love to send you pictures while I’m taking care of your pet if you’d like 😊 I work very early mornings part time so I’m usually available by at least lunch on the weekdays. I’m usually not in town on the weekends unless it is a special request so don’t be afraid to ask! I will always follow instructions or directions given by the pet owner to make sure your pets receive the best of care and feel loved and comfortable the entire time I’m there 😊

About: My family has always had cats and dogs but we have also owned chickens and ducks. I trained all 3 of my dogs and have even had friends ask to help training their dog (basic obedience training). I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your babies. Monday and Tuesday I am always available. Wednesday and Thursday I am usually available all day if not, I am only available anytime before 3pm. Friday and Saturday I am available anytime before 3pm. I’m usually unavailable on Sundays When house-sitting I will regularly take them out in order to use the potty and make sure they always have fresh clean water. I’ll also make sure they are fed accordingly. When walking I will take them on long walks to ensure all your pups energy is being used. Lastly throughout the whole time I will provide lots and lots of love.

About: Hi, I’m Haley! I’m 23 years old. I helped my mom for about 3-4 years with her dog breeding business so I know a lot about dogs. I’ve helped from delivering puppies to administering medicine and everything else you could think of. I grew up having goats, chickens, and a pig. I’m just a big animal lover! I feel comfortable watching a dog or cat of any age. It would be a pleasure to watch your fur-baby! Thank you for the consideration, have a nice day! I am open any day to watch your pets. The only reason I wouldn’t be available is if I’m out of town, or I’m taking a personal day. I will take them out several times throughout the day to potty and get some exercise. Water will be left out and food will be given at the times the owner desires. I do know general first aid for a dog, if they get injured.

“I came into town for work and needed a walker on short notice. After contacting Shannon and having the initial meet and greet, she agreed to take Staynz for his walk while I was at work. She was on time and Staynz enjoyed getting out of the hotel room especially since we were in a strange area to him. I recommend Shannon to anyone that is looking for someone who will care for your pet and most of all be reliable on short notice.”

About: I have volunteered and worked at two animal shelters taking care of dogs and cats, as well as working at two boarding facilities. I also have some experience with birds, reptiles and caged animals(like rabbits). I have experience bathing, brushing, keeping areas clean, administration of medicine, and cleaning protocols to ensure health of animals. I have even worked with deemed dangerous dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I am now lucky enough to work from home, so I will be home almost all the time to take care of your fur babies, or go to your home. I do have a female German shepherd husky mix, and she absolutely loves other animals. I also have a cat, but if your dog is cat aggressive we can easily keep them seperated. I have an extra large crate, or of course if you want to bring your own crate you can. I am also able to keep your cat separated if need be! We don't have a fenced in yard, but there are multiple trails around that I take my dog to and are willing to take yours if you are comfortable with that! I have experience with crate training and will do anything you need me to do. If I am housesitting or staying for the day, I will take your dog out about every 4 hours or as needed.

About: I have two dogs of my own a mastiff and a husky, so I am great with dogs! I’m very patient and will do great! Since I only work 3 days at my job I have all the time to gladly lend a hand to anyone that needs help anytime! Taking care of pets is very important just like humans they need love, attention, and someone to look out for them and I do that.

About: I have cared for small and big dog breeds of many kinds the past eight years! From puppy to senior furry friends! Many cats as well. I am attentive and a go-to for my family and friends with pets! I make my work schedule on a week to week basis! this means I am very flexible. With how I care for your pet, too. I hope we can make a plan that makes you and your pet most comfortable. I will ensure that your fur babies are safe with me while I am in your home. Making sure outside doors are closed and locked after entering and exiting your home.
