Dog Walking Barbecue

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 am truly passionate about it. My goal for any client, is to make the owner and pets feel as comfortable as possible during the visits. 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.

“Julia did a wonderful job with Bleu Belle! Bleu really responds to Julia and she thoroughly enjoys their time together. Julia is great about giving me feedback regarding their time together and she takes great photos of my Bleu Belle, too! I'm so glad that I found Julia on Rover! Julia is knowledgeable, prompt, friendly, and (most of all) a true animal lover (I also have two 'indoor only' cats and the one that is usually "standoffish" went right up to her to be petted!) I thoroughly trust Julia with my Bleu and have no worries when she is with her. Thank you, Julia, for the fantastic job ... and Bleu says, "Woof, woof!" (that means, "see you soon " in dog ... lol).”

About: Since I was a child I've taken care of dogs, my whole family loves animals and know how to treat dogs and how they behave. I'm currently working part time, and usually get off work at 2pm, after that I'm free. I do have a social life and occasionally will be out and about but I can always make time for your dogs! I have a 3 acre fenced yard, cages for my dogs, leashes, harnesses, and medicine.I NEVER hit animals and always treat them with the respect they deserve.

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.

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.

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.

“Provided excellent care at the last minute. Easy to communicate with, followed instructions, Took great care of fuebabies & kept safety in mind whole out of walks.”

About: I have a background in the medical and paralegal field . We can accommodate any pup , any situation! I have had my own dog kennel for years . I’m very energetic & love animals & so does my son & family members who do this with me . I take them on walks and keep them entertained . Since i have experience whelping and with mommy dogs , i can take on any challenge . I can administer medication responsibly. Not all dogs get along with other dogs , i understand that . I have a nice insulated building with heat and ac for the dogs who really prefer their own space . It’s very nice & comfortable in there. But i do offer space in my home as well for free roam - lots of land && a great area . Plus a 6 ft tall fence. They gets lots of play time since I’m generally home. I Keep toys and supplies & cute fenced in areas for smaller pups as well to separate from big pups . Doggies are spoiled here, every pup gets one on one time . Plenty of space to run && play outside & in the very spacious open floor home . From big to little , they are welcome here . Experience with high anxiety pets and older dogs. Conditioned “puppy cave” in home as well for pups who like their own space but don’t want to be in the building . Prices can be discussed for multiples & long stays or in general if it is an emergency & unexpected , I’ll work with you . We put our time & care & money into what we do . This is not the only place that i promote my pet sitting business, but Rover is awesome ! Lots of experience & many references for months/weeks long stays . Can also offer grooming (mobile groomer who helps me out ) & training when needed . Our days are literally centered around the puppies we keep . They are our top priority- you will love the updates . I have my own animals that i have to take out and keep entertained myself . So taking care of dogs is part of my daily routine. Plus I’m home most the time so the dogs are a main focus. Gives me a lot of bonding time with my son as well . Perfect yard . Can free roam with supervision on the acres or play in the 6ft tall fence. Nice dog building with great heating And air . But can also have them In the house . Welcome to check both spaces out . They will be let out often. And can keep dogs separated when they do not get along with other animals- i do not believe in putting 5-6 plus dogs in a playroom loose not knowing their personalities well yet - very small groups with regulars is completely ok but most pups need proper introductions before throwing them in a space with other unknown pets & an unknown new human watching- it can be very unpredictable even if your pup is super social . I keep supplies such as dog shampoo , dog treats, toys and other things that may be needed. They get lots of love and cuddles here. 6ft tall fence for the big babies . Space to run inside the home if weather is ugly.

“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 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. If your pet likes to run off and or is an escape artist make sure to let me know. Please do your best to answer screening questions honestly because these answers will help me best decide if we are a match moving forward with the request. 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: Hi there! My name is Katie and I am so happy you are considering me to care for your animals. Pet sitting is my full time commitment, and I am accepting new and returning clients with open arms. I am available and eager to offer drop in visits and dog walking 7 days a week. I also offer doggy daycare and boarding to one family at a time in order to give your animals one on one attention and the best care possible. I do prefer to sit your animals at least once before booking for boarding to allow your dog to get comfortable with me and my home before taking them for multiple days with no soft introduction. I accept same day bookings if I have availability for walking and drop in visits, as I am very understanding that life is unpredictable and sometimes things happen outside of our control. I also offer same day meet and greets if a request is made before 5pm. I do have experience with elderly animals, and animals with underlying health conditions. I have a 4 year old husky who has epilepsy, and I have been trained by my dogs vet on how to properly care for an animal during a medical emergency. I am comfortable administering medication and I will ensure your animal stays on their routine for their medicine, as I know personally how important it is to do so. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! I always have my phone close by and commit to answering pet parents in a timely manner. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

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!

I currently have a Labrador retriever but have experience with all ages of dogs, and all sizes from a chihuahua to mastiffs!

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!

“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!!”

About: I have been pet sitting for a couple of years for the neighborhoods around me. I’m available for short or long walks and can take care of your dog while your away. Most of my pet sitting jobs I take the dogs out 3 times a day 30 minutes each but I can expand or shorten that time based on your dogs needs. I’m comfortable around any type of dog no matter the size or personality type. If you need help with obedience training I can incorporate the training into my walks/sitting. I am usually available mornings from 5 am-9am, afternoons from 2pm-4pm and evenings from 7:30pm-11pm but there are days I can adjust my schedule if that is needed. I hope to see you and your furry love one soon!! I work a full time job but choose my own hours on a weekly basis so I can adjust my schedule for any means necessary. I’ll adjust to house sit however you would like. I have done both sleepovers and just spending the daylight hours there. Feeding, playtime and walks and be done as many or as little times as needed.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I absolutely love them! I have German Shepard mix who I have had as a rescue since he was 3 weeks old and had to bottle feed. Now he's just a huge mama's boy. He gets along with every type of dog and loves to play! I also resuced a Great Pyrenees mix named Sega and he is the sweetest thing in the world and loves having new friends to play with! I make my own dog treats. I live on post but I can pick up and drop off. I love to exercise so the dogs will be tired by the time you pick them up. I am at home most of the time so your dog will have constant love and affection! I have cared for every type of dog from small to large. I love them all! Puppies are welcome. My dogs are so gentle. The only problem you would have to worry about is how much fun you are missing out on! I am currently not working. I do have a baby so I plan my day to the minute to keep her entertained. She is an animal lover as well. I am very protective. I will treat your baby as my own and will not let them out of my sight. I have a fenced yard and gates in my home to prevent access to the kitchen to prevent accidental ingestion.
