About: I am currently getting my animal care degree at acc and there i have learned many skills such as animal husbandry , basic animal health care , animal handling. I am also fear free certified , can preform cat and dog cpr and can administer oral medications as well as administer fluids and injections. I am currently interning at Liberty acres which is a animal rescue/zoo and take care of many animals some including reptiles,birds,equine,livestock and foxes. I am currently working part time usually nights so I would be able to do drop ins in the morning before work or mid day and after work as well. On my days off I could do any time :) The specific tasks and level of care provided depend on the individual needs of the pet and the services offered, but generally include feeding, grooming, exercising, monitoring health, and providing companionship.
About: I've been working with dogs since childhood - my parents raised Pekingese & Dobermans. Even at 8 years old, I helped mama dogs birth their pups. My schoolmates thought it was gross, most adults thought it was weird, but I thought it was super cool to be a part of bringing life into the world through adorable little squeaking pups. Even though we were very ethical & loving with our pups, many backyard breeders are not, so I no longer agree with that. But as an adult, I fell in love with rescues & adopted a few over the years. Then I decided I wanted to be more involved with Rescues. So... I became a Foster Parent, assisted Black Dog Rescue, & was an integral part of Cooper's Companions Animal Rescue in Colorado before moving to NC. I usually ended up fostering "unadoptable" dogs & working with them extensively until they became adoptable. Then I followed up with their new pet parents to help ensure success & making it stick. My specialty is working with fearful dogs, teaching pet owners how to get the behavior they want from their pet, stopping jumping on people, food possessiveness, leash training, & training dogs to walk on a treadmill. We have 2 little dogs who had a big 'sister' for many years, so all size dogs are welcome; Both of our pups are super dog-friendly. One of them loves to play with other dogs after she gets to know them, and the other will play sometimes, but can be a bit of a snob. We want all dogs to enjoy staying with us, but... we won't tolerate a 'truly' aggressive dog in our home. My dogs might initially bark at other dogs, but they don't attack other dogs, so should either of my dogs be attacked or if a human is bitten, the offender will be separated & crated inside, or placed in our separately fenced kennel area outside (if you prefer) for the remainder of their stay. Any issues will be discussed with the dog owner to establish their preference in this regard. Otherwise, we'll shower your fur baby with love & attention so you won't have to worry about them when you're away. Please note: *** Going forward, we will only board *female* dogs & they must be spayed. We stopped accepting male dogs in our home because the hiking of legs is problematic. *** If they are not spayed, I will be happy to do drop in care, but we will not be able to host in our own home. --- I require a meetup with dogs & their owners before actually accepting a booking. If you are unable to do this, I'm unable to take care of your fur babies. --- I work from home, so my availability is fairly open unless we're on vacation or if in the event that I have to go on a business trip. _____________________________________________________________________________ *** Important Note*** Doggie Day Care is for "up to 9 hours" each stay. If you need care for more than 9 hours, please schedule it as a boarding. Just let me know it's for an extended hours stay in a message. Otherwise, for requested stays exceeding 9 hours, I will send you a modification request changing it from 'day care' to the status of 'boarding' which costs more. If I have to send you a modification request & you don't want to pay a boarding fee for time exceeding 9 hours, you may choose to decline the change & it will never actually be booked with me. However, in this instance, you will need to find another sitter. Thank you for understanding... We have a fenced in yard for your pup to play in. The previous home owners put in a separate fenced kennel, so that's an available option in case you prefer your dog to be separated. It's unusual, but some people do prefer that. We almost never use it, though.
About: I've worked with all kinds of animals from the age of 10 and onwards. Whether it be helping elderly neighbors with their high energy dogs or being there for elderly unloved cats at local shelters, I'm happy to take care of any size, needs, or energy levels of your pets. I'm currently a student at a nearby university. As a full time student, I'm most available in the afternoons on weekdays and midday on weekends. However, my schedule is constantly changing so I'm very flexible! I'm very comfortable accommodating any length of walk your dog may need, whether that be 30 min or 90 min. I always make sure to take with me on the go water bowls and water, waste bags, and any treats. I'm also happy to send any photos and pet updates as requested.
About: I have helped walk dogs for family members during holidays and vacations! I have sorted for friends and familys dogs as well while out of town. Hi, I am currently working part time and would love to get to help with your pets! I love all animals and have been around pets my whole life! Always making sure when outside on walks the dog/s are leashed correctly with their collars on! Making sure dogs have food and water on check ins and that they are well loved.
“We have no complaints about Heidi. She was punctual and communicative. The pups were well cared for and enjoyed all of the lovies and cookies she gave. Will definitely be booking in the future ☺️”


“Brittany asked questions to understand exactly what I needed and followed the directions I had left, she came in on time and did as she was asked, with clear and timely communication. I would request her help again!”

About: Pet Sitting. Walking . Light Training. Our pets are our family, you can trust me to deliver excellent care to get them the best care. It fits well. I have a remote position with some flexibility during the days. I look forward to serving the local areas and doing what I can for the pet community. I currently have a boxer and a family with two children. My boxer lives inside and has her whole seven years. She’s been with us since we rescued her. She was our first baby and will always be.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom myself, so I know just how much our pets mean to us. I have dogs of my own and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your fur baby needs an overnight sitter, walks, playtime, meals, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I have two sweet doggies named Leo & Sparky who are 7 and 8 years old! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m very used to having a busy routine centered around caring for others. I also have dogs of my own, and taking care of animals fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m comfortable with routines, schedules, feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Im a mom and I have dogs of my own, so I’m pretty used to taking care of everyone and keeping up with a routine 😂. When I’m watching someone else’s pets, I really just treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow whatever routine they’re used to, make sure they’re fed and let out, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and of course lots of cuddles if they’re into that. I’ll also respect your home and leave things the way I found them. I know I’d be nervous leaving my own pets with someone, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being loved and taken care of while you’re gone. 🐾❤️
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Fur babies are so important to me and I treat them like my children! I enjoy the companionship and providing a safe, loving and protected environment for your pet. I have provided care for friends and families pets for as long as I can remember. I am excited to start this journey as well as finding new friends for my dog to play with. I work from home full-time with a flexible daily schedule. I am available Tues/Wed/Thursday from 7:00am - 5:00pm, and Monday/Friday from 8:30am - 3:00pm but willing to work with any specific requests or needs to fit your schedule, just ask! Im sure we can work something out :) I have a small area that is fenced that makes it easy for potty breaks which will be provided consistently throughout the day. I have a long haired dachshund named Beans who is super friendly and always looking for a friend. I have a large backyard for ultimate fun. It is not fenced, but I do have long outdoor leashes for your dog to still be able to explore safely. I have a small area that is fenced that makes it easy for potty breaks which will be provided consistently throughout the day. I also provide walks during my break if your dog is anything like mine and needs to go for a walk just to poop! I also have 2 crates (small & large) to accommodate giving your pet some alone time throughout the day and for quiet time after playing. I have plenty of dog toys and beds to provide comfort to your pet! I am available during the weeks Tues-Thurs, but am flexible for the right fit! I am available on alternating weekends for drop-in care, overnight care in my home, and walks throughout the day. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to be of service to make your life a little easier.
About: I grew up on a farm with 5 dogs. When I moved to the US, I got my own puppy (a golden retriever), and I trained her myself. I foster dogs and cats from nearby shelters. I always make sure to follow instructions for a seamless transition for your animal! I have a dog myself. When my family and I got her, I signed a contract to take care of her myself. She is now almost 8 years old, always full of joy and in great health. I love to play with dogs, and get them tired and ready to take a nap! I am ready to clean after dogs if needed (in the house and outside), and take care of them no matter their needs. I want you and your pet to feel taken care of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
5 stars! This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was a great communicator — quick to respond to messages before the visit. She arrived early and immediately made our dog Diego feel comfortable. After the visit, she sent us photos and video so we got to see him enjoying his time with her. Diego absolutely loved her, and honestly, so did we — even a quick 10-minute chat beforehand was enough to know we'd made the right choice.

Gemma was wonderful with caring for our fur baby! She loved on and truly took care of him where we had no worries while on vacation. Khalifa absolutely loved her during our meet and greet which led me to choosing Gemma to care for him. She’s a real sweetheart and we definitely will book her again, thank you so much Gemma!!

Today was the first time that we had Lindsay come meet our dog, Zeus, and it went so amazing! She was so attentive to him and taking the time to get to know him (and he absolutely adored her and all the pets he was getting).We are excited for her to continue building a rapport with him and start meeting with him weekly!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burlington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
