About: I have experience from small pets to large farm animals. While I am new to rover, I have been watching pets for over 20 years for friends and family. I love animals and I do this because I truly want to and not because I need to. My goal for any client, is to make the owner and pets feel as comfortable as possible. As someone who likes to travel myself, I know how important it is to find a sitter that can take the security of your home seriously, as well as the care of your fur babies. I’m a homeschool parent, flexible during the day. My kids are older, so am able to leave in the morning, mid day and evenings to check on your fur babies. I always stay in touch with my pet parents and send them photos when they are out of town. The safety and security of the home is my top priority. I always check behind me to make sure doors are locked and animals are always accounted for. For trust and environment, the needs of each client will be addressed once I get to know the family and their pet(s). Basic services includes bathroom breaks, feedings, cleaning up pet messes, play time outside for dogs, pets/ cuddles and administering medication. I will not force love on an animal that is shy and doesn’t like to be pet, but I will sit down with them so they aren’t alone.

“Amanda is wonderful! She’s walks my lab twice a week and we are so grateful for her. She always send us a picture and makes sure he has water in his bowl when she brings him home. Thanks Amanda!”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles of all kinds, and rabbits. I will take care of and love your animals as if they were my own. I work from home, so I am able to do lunchtime drop-ins and evening drop-ins. If needed, I could also be available to do a morning drop-in. I will follow all directions given to make sure your animal is taken care of as you would. I currently have two cats and a dog of my own, and they are very spoiled.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa Reynolds! I have been dog sitting with my mother and father for years! I am well experienced and have had many clients! We love animals in our family and have many of our own! We have been on Rover for a while and I’m taking over the account to provide services in my college town! I will treat your pet as a member of our family! You won’t need to worry while you’re away. Your pet will be in the best hands with me! I want to provide the best and most comfortable experience for your pet, because I know how stressful it is to be away from family! Because of our work schedules and school schedules it’s better if the pups can hold it for 7 hours. We are home all weekend. During the summer months my daughter is home all day and able to care for dogs needing more frequent potty breaks. We have a large backyard with a pet friendly pool. There is plenty of room to run around. Dogs are not left outside when we are not home. We do have other animals in the house, so boarded dogs need to be ok with cats and dogs. We do request if animals have separation anxiety or tend to chew when left unattended a crate is left with them while being boarded.

“Megan is wonderful! Takes my dog Hera for long walks every time and spends time with her. Megan also takes pictures of my sweet girl and send them to me every time she walks her! Will definitely continue to book with her!!”

About: I've had pets my whole life with the majority of them being rescues. I currently have three huskies and a doberman, as well as a leopard gecko. I have also in the past had chickens and fish that I greatly miss caring for. So whether the house or the farm I'm ready for your babies! I'm currently focusing all of my time on pet sitting so I can care for your babies at any time and for however long I am needed. I am based out of Lillington and am able to travel to the surrounding areas where I can care for your pets in your home, whether that be giving medication, feeding, playing or continuing any training that you have started.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two French toy poodles of my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies and older dogs that need extra patience and attention. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and well loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student attending school in New York and I’m home for the summer working part time. Because of that, I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. When I’m not working, I’m usually available before or after shifts and can work around most schedules with good communication. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for dogs in both my home and a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and any behaviors or needs each dog may have. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure during walks, and comfortable in their environment at all times. I also believe communication is important, so I like keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and doing well.

“So glad that we found someone we could trust to take care of our dog. She is an excellent communicator and has a great understanding of animals. No concerns leaving my special-needs dog in her care. I highly recommend Julia!”

About: I have had animals my entire life always making them a priority. From raising two puppies, I am experienced to take care of your pets and their needs. I also spent lots of time with my grandmother at her farm taking care of a variety of different animals with different needs. I am more than capable of caring for your animals with love, patience, kindness, and respect. I will give my free time to your pets and will make them a priority! I am free to care for you pets! I have a fenced in backyard with a dog door to their crate! I feed them twice a day. And always have play time at the end of the day before bed.

About: I've been pet sitting for some family friends for the last 4 years and have watched dogs of various breeds for 4 different families. Watching both dogs and just recently in the last year cats. So far I've watched up to 3 dogs at a time. I'm happy to take them out for walks, make sure that they go to the bathroom, that they've eaten, medicine taken, and their water bowls are always filled. I've watched both senior dogs and young dogs. If your sweet fur child has any need any specific needs that need to be followed just let me know and I'll make sure it's done! I'll also make sure to give you updates on anything that happens! Like when I get to your place, when I'm about to leave, if your furry friend gets sick, has an accident, or just general update how well they're doing. I'm also working to get a pet cpr certification. I do ask that before I watch your furry buddy that I come over for a short visit before the scheduled date to meet your furry friend, so you and your furry friend can both trust me, and we can discuss any specific details and get a key to your house if needed. I'm a single game developer and artist who works from home. So I've got a good amount of free time throughout the day, where I can stop working and drive over to help out if your in need of any. If your someone that works an early morning shift and you need someone at your house by 6 to 7 AM at the latest to let your dogs go to the bathroom, make sure they're fed, medicine taken, or take them out for a short walk. I can be there. I can promise you that I'm a rule follower. If you tell me not to do something I won't do it. If I am unsure of something I can promise you that I'll send you a text or give you a call to get your input on whatever it is that I'm unsure of. I'll also make sure to give updates, and let you know when I've arrived and when I'm leaving. I'll also make sure to let you know if any accidents happen, and clean up any mess that may happen!

“Annmarie is wonderful with our pup! She is just shy of a year old and is hesitant when meeting others on walks and Annmarie is great at putting her at ease. Annmarie is prompt and professional- providing great notes and pics of her time with our pup!!”

I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, I have experience with newborn puppies to giant Great Danes, and I spent most of my childhood volunteering at animal shelters and even petting zoos.

I can cater to your dogs diets, needs, and disabilities, no matter their size, age, or breed. (Cats as well). This includes going for longer walks or runs for more active dogs. I’m a very hardworking, caring, responsible, respectful, and giving person. I only have the best intentions for you and your pets, as I’d expect the same for my 2 dogs and myself.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child - both dogs and cats! I have done it as a drop in service, staying overnight at someone else’s home, and as boarding in my own home. We love all dogs, and frequently watch our friend’s dogs of all ages. Currently live on base so must have base access for boarding! I am a stay-at-home-mom so I am home all day - your dog would never be by themselves! We let our own dogs outside to play multiple times a day, and always have water out for them. We also frequently go on walks in the evening to get that last bit of energy out. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 super friendly golden retrievers. Charlie (5) and Emma (4) are both neutered/spayed, and love other dogs. We allow them on the furniture which would extend to your pet too, but we can also crate your pet too if that’s what you prefer.

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a child. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. We have had high energy dogs and those who just sleep all day. Feel assured I can help your dog feel at home while you're away! I do work full time, I have a dog in the house who would love to have some friends around the house. We wake early and are home by 4:30 so lots of play time in the evening. I do have an unfenced yard so if you have a runner please let me know, I do have five acres we get to explore. I have a pet in the home super friendly cocker spaniel, he is crated for sleep. We have had many dogs uncrated so that is up to you. I can follow rules whatever is needed for you to feel comfortable. We have plenty of time and space for extra four footed friends in the house! I have two little kiddos 10 and 7 years old who also help get lots of energy out. Due to having the unfenced yard, if your pet likes to run off and or is an escape artist make sure to let me know. I do work full time so I ask quite a few questions prior to accepting dogs. Please do your best to answer honestly because these answers will help me best decide if we are a match. Providing honest answers to my screening questions will make sure everyone is safe and happy. I want to make sure we all have a great visit.

About: I’ve been a foster, and a permanent dog mom to every size and breed of dog you could imagine! I currently have a Labrador retriever but have experience with all ages of dogs, and all sizes from a chihuahua to mastiffs! I am a stay-at-home mom so this is a nice side hustle with something I love which is taking care of dogs and also having something extra to do with my kid! I have a large fenced-in yard with a Labrador retriever who’d love to keep your dogs company! We’re also in a very dog friendly community so walks are a possibility if wanted!

About: Every time I meet a new dog, I love testing their skills. Communication is key in any relationship, and that's no different with dogs or cats. I take particular pleasure in getting a nervous cat or pup to warm up and be comfortable with their surroundings and other animals. I have a very active dog myself, so I'm comfortable with other large, high energy dogs! I also certainly don't mind taking a break with a dog or cat who has less physical demands, lol I have spent quite a bit of time around various types of dogs and cats. I follow the pace they set for interactions so they feel comfortable with my presence. If they need time to warm up, I'm happy to show them I'm safe. If they're rowdy and ready to play, I'll bring a toy for them to grab onto immediately.
