“Danielle took great care of my little Daisy! She came and walked her for 30mins for three days while I was at work. I would continue to request her for further puppy needs!!”


About: I live on a 14-acre property with vinyl horse fencing that has been reinforced with fence wire to contain dogs securely. We have two fully fenced fields, each about 70 yards x 50 yards. One field has agility equipment. Boarders and day care dogs will be able to interact with the agility equipment, if time allows and dog is comfortable. The other field is used mainly for disc dog practice and competitions, but is also great for general play. We have a stream running along the back of our property. We have 2 dog runs outside for outdoor relaxation when we are not doing activities. I have dog training certifications with Karen Pryor Academy and Animal Behavior College. I prefer to interact with dogs using positive reinforcement, treats and praise. I have been involved with dog sport training since 2008. We currently have 7 small dogs, all actively involved in dog sports, including flyball, disc, agility, barn hunt and tricks. Our females are intact and 2 males are intact.

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.

About: 50 years of experience, grew up on a dairy farm, currently have three horses, twenty three chickens and three dogs on a ranch style farm. I am semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as well as my own, I am pretty flexible all week as well as weekends. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own, animals that live with us are considered family and family always comes first.

“Ida is wonderful with the girls. She is so kind and so sweet and patient with them, they can be a handful when they get excited but she handles them like a pro. Gabby had gotten sick right in front of the door, Ida cleaned it up and let me know that my girl was not feeling well. She also is in tune with their individual needs and is adjusting to give both off the girls the best experience during their time together. I would highly recommend Ida to care for your babies. The girls and I are so grateful.”



“Cheyanne was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker and I definitely plan on using her as services in the future. This was my first time using this service and I'm grateful that she provided me with updates and pix so that I could truly enjoy my vacation. My dog had an amazing time with her!”


About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, my own and others included, since as far back as 8 years old. I've always enjoyed taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and it makes my heart happy to see my kids following in those footsteps as they get older as well. I have a husband of 10 years, which will occasionally be helping with some of the pet care, and we have 2 kids (ages 3 and 8) so you know your animals will get plenty of cuddles and play time. We all enjoy and love your pets like our own! Our pets of our own include chickens which are all kept inside of a fenced in area. We live on roughly 3 acres of "unfenced land" at the end of our paved neighborhood road. Included in that are a few scenic trails through the woods on our property, so that means we have plenty of space for your fur babies to have some play time outside in the yard, and walks through the neighborhood/trails for exploration, exercise, and relaxation throughout the day! We are here with open arms ready to care for your sweet babies and willing to learn about each of their individual needs to make sure we make them and you feel comfortable and part of our family in the process! From boarding overnight, to drop-in visits when you can't be there, to random play visits/walking your fur babies, or even meeting/helping you with multiple animals' vet visits..... No matter the job or type of animal, give us a try and you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to hear from you and to make you part of the fam! I am a full time stay-at-home mom/wife so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve for whatever the job you may need for them! Depending on size, your pets are housed inside our home (when staying overnight with us) as one of the family. We have plenty of crates inside our house for individual sleeping spaces. We also use baby gates throughout the house to separate areas of our house so animals can be separated in their own spaces if and when needed. I always communicate quickly with clients and make sure to send lots of pictures to assure them of their pets experience and exceptional care with my family and I. I also provide each animal with an apple air tag just as a safety precaution when they are in my care for mine and my clients peace of mind.

About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals. I currently do Rover full-time and go to school online, but have worked at a dog boarding/training facility and have worked with/handled dogs of all sizes and breeds. Although I have more experience around dogs I love cats just as much! I have no issues with certain breeds, ages, sizes, or handling medicine (so long as it is nothing a professional vet should handle). I can’t wait to watch and care for your fur babies! I currently work full-time. I usually have two full days off each week for work and I have a very flexible schedule, giving me plenty of free time to walk, watch, and love your pets. I do have my own dog but unfortunately she is not friendly with other animals. Because of this I can only do daycare/overnight at clients own homes and walks/check-ins. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with aggressive animals and have no issues watching/walking aggressive dogs so long as both me and you are comfortable with it. With that being said it is important to me that any aggressive behavior whether with animals and/or people is told upfront and honestly as well meeting the dog ahead of time.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs ever since I was kid. I’ve had young dogs, old dogs, and I’ve even taken care of horses, ducks, and chickens. I live on a farm and I’ve worked around animals all of my life. I’m currently searching for a part-time job so I’ll be able to take care of pets almost whenever it’s needed. Everything I do outside of work can be fit anywhere into my schedule, it’s very flexible. I’ve worked with animals for a long time so whatever needs to be done, I can do it. I am very safe and friendly with animals.

About: I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs. I'm currently just working part time on the weekends and have full availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to give your furry friend all the love and attention they need. Will follow pets normal routine ex. feeding, walking, playtime. I personally don't mind animals on furniture but will follow whatever rules the pet is used too.

About: I absolutely love all animals! I graduated from my local college with a vet assisting certification. I currently have rescued 9 cats this year and 2 dogs. They all have loving homes now! I love working with animals! They have the most kind souls of anything on this earth. I currently work a lot with the local rescue groups here in town and also the animal shelter. I have 2 children, 13 and 6. I currently stay at home with my daughter. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies and enjoy their presence! I’m a very dependable and loving person and I like to stay in contact and do a daily update after every walk/sitting. I love it when people know how their furbabies are, it brings a sense of peace.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My parents always said you want it, you take care of it. My love for animals started from a young age with my first kitty Indie, and my dog Coco. I’ve had multiple animals over the years ranging in size and age. I have house sit for Family and friends and love the fuzzy creatures company! I’m currently enrolled in Community college, during the day and work part-time at night. The weekends Would be the best but I can still house sit on the weekdays depending on the needs of the pet and owner! Our two doggies Bear and Blue spend most of their time inside, and in our big backyard playing with the ball. I am capable of ensuring the animals are played with, fed, and taken out! With my dogs I usually feed them separately incase if food aggression, but I can follow any rules that pet owners need for their furry friends.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have always loved animals and I have taken care of them as if they were my bestest friend. Spending time with animals makes my day and I have never met a pet that hasn’t loved me! I am in college part time. When I come home the first thing I do is walk my dogs and feed my cats. I make sure all of my animals have everything that they need. My schedule is pretty open for the most, and I always find time to take care of pets. The first thing I would do with your pet or pets is make sure they’re comfortable with me, and that they are happy. Afterwards, I would make sure they are fed properly and have plenty of water. I would try to play with them, and make them as happy as possible.

Haley W.
“Haley is one of the kindest people I have ever met and truly lights up a room when she walks in. Her love for animals is evident in everything she does. Haley has always had a deep passion for animals, and she even left her previous job because she felt that the corporate setting didn't allow for the level of love and proper care that animals deserve. This decision highlights the high standards she holds for animal care. Although Haley has not been my dog walker, she is one of only two people I trust to watch my dog. Whenever Haley is around, she gives my dog so much love and attention, and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Haley for anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog walker.”


Tiffany H.
“Tiffany has always loved animals. She is very good with them and they respond to her very well. She is well educated when it comes to furbabies and she always takes great care of them. If she could, she would take in every animal that came along. She has several of her own and has taken in rescue babies as well. She's awesome with animals.”


Sabrina W.
“I can't recommend Sabrina highly enough for her exceptional care of my dogs. She consistently goes above and beyond, taking them on long, enjoyable walks and ensuring they get plenty of attention and playtime. Her dedication to their well-being is evident in their happy demeanor and wagging tails every time she arrives. Sabrina’s reliable and affectionate approach has made her an invaluable part of my pets' lives. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your dogs like their own, Sabrina is the perfect choice.”
