House Sitting in Camden

“We recently moved to the Raleigh area and were so lucky to find Caroline & Gavin on Rover and available for the weekend we needed care for our 2 dogs. We needed to be out of town for the weekend for our daughter’s wedding. Caroline & Gavin gave us numerous updates over the weekend and sent pictures. We felt so comfortable having them in our home caring for our dogs. We were able to relax and really enjoy the wedding without worry. One of our dogs is very nervous and unsure around new people. Caroline & Gavin were so calm and patient with her. They left our house in perfect condition too! We will definitely use them again!”

“Christianna was so great with my babies. We have a usual dog sitter but he was unavailable due to a family issue and I was so nervous to try someone new but knowing she has animals of her own and has been doing this for so long, really helped ease my anxiety. She came to do a meet and greet and right away they loved her. She sent pictures and updates the whole time we were gone and they looked so relaxed with her!”

“Best pet sitter ever! ?? They definitely went the extra mile for us and our pets! We have Zero complaints and highly recommend them to anyone who wants care for their fur babies. We couldn’t be happier with their care! Wow!”

“Brittany is awesome and she is my new go to when I need my dog looked after. I recently moved to the area and have been looking for someone to look after my dog when I have to travel. She kept in constant communication with me; provided photos and videos daily; and even picked up an Easter gift for him.”

“Once again, Andrea was an amazing farm sitter! I have 100% confidence in her watching our animals, and love the daily pictures and updates. She went over and above to make sure they had what they wanted and needed. I don’t know that I could use anyone else after having her watch over our homestead. Thank you, Andrea!”

“Dana did a fantastic job with our big fur baby Apollo. She went above and beyond watching over our home. The place was spotless when we arrived home. Dana was super great about checking in with us during our trip and even allowed Apollo to FaceTime on Mother’s Day. Apollo was very well taken care of and it showed when we returned home because he is usually a high energy, very loud Red-tick hound and he was very calm and relaxed when we returned home. Thank you Dana for loving our fur baby like your own.”

“Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of Apollo. We really appreciate how happy he is and the pictures, texts, updates about him while we are traveling. Your love of our furry best friend is very appreciated by us.”

“Braxton is a natural when it comes to pets. The family likes to call him the dog/baby whisperer because of how instant the connection is between the two off of initial meets. He is also a responsible and respectful human being through and through.”

About: From a young age I've been helping my mother take care of the many dogs we owned. Through the years we've also had everything from horses, cats, chickens, pigs and even rodents. It just seems fitting now that I'm an adult I would become an animal caretaker. I am willing to take care of almost any animal, if you have something unusual just ask. However I do prefer to not have to take care of certain reptiles. I'm currently unemployed so I am available most times of the week. I'm able to come take care of your pets whenever you are in need. I will follow all the rules that you would have about your pet and home. I will keep a very watchful eye on them at all times.

About: I have owned pets my entire life. Currently I have adopted 3 cats, and 2 energetic pups! I love caring for animals, and would love to help care for yours! I am available anytime time to drop in and help care for your furry, family members. ❤️ However, I'm unavailable for overnight drop ins or stays. I would love to help care for clients pets in their home. This would include feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, etc. Anything that is required. I have adopted a diabetic dog in the past as well, so I am familiar with insulin injections if necessary. 🐈🐕

About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children. This journey started after volunteering for a few months at a local humane society and wanting to spend more of our time with dogs. Since starting our Rover journey, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accomodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference if needed. Our home is spacious, safe, secure and clean! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (spouse, mother in-law) and Eric still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc). We do, however give them plenty of outdoor time with the other dogs or solo to socialize and play, which we find is ample exercise for the pups that stay with us. REQUESTED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PET Prior to dropping off, please fill out your dog's bio as much as possible. == THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG == -Is your pup sick and/or contagious? -Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking, etc). -Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers. -If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions. -Is your pup up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication. We understand vaccines are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period but we highly recommend the vaccines to create the safest experience. *Please know that we are unable to care for sick/contagious dogs. If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund. If we discover that your pup is exhibiting obvious symptoms of disease with the first 12 hours with us, your dog will need to be picked up and no refund will be issued. I work 2-3 days a week. Spouse is a stay at home mother. One of us is always at home and available to give your fur baby all of the attention that they need! Trustworthy military member (20 yrs of active-duty service). We can provide care in our home or come to you. I also work as a full-time volunteer for Chesapeake Humane Society helping with dog care team and enrichment.

“Rose is a kind, professional and polite dog sitter. She is prompt and took excellent care of my dog’s needs. I was impressed that she could handle my large energetic Saint Bernard so well right away! Anyone who loves their dog like their child will have peace of mind with their canine in Rose’s hands.”

About: I’ve lived around dogs(all types of breeds and temperaments) for over 35+ years. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies. I currently work full time, but I am home by 3:30 every day. Weekends are wide open. I pride myself on being flexible and responsible. I’ve cared for a variety of pets : hamsters, rabbits, cats, dogs, and even horses. I take care of your four legged children while you are busy with life. Rest assured they will be loved in your absence.

“When I got home, I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of! They loved it! Rebecca was so professional and sent photos of the doggies while I was out of town! I will definitely be using Rebecca again for the amazing service my dogs received!”

“Haley is a great candidate for this position. Animals have always been her life. The love and gentleness she has for animals is amazing! She is very loving and caring and has a big heart when it comes to dog! Haley’s compassion for all animals would make her an amazing fit for this job! She has taken great care of my dogs in the past and treated them like her own.”

About: I have had numerous pets over the years and been given the opportunity to pet sit and even farm sit for family members. I have experience with large dog breeds such as great danes. My family used to foster kittens from bottle fed to 10-15 weeks old and I loved every second of it. I dream of one day opening an animal rescue or sanctuary to help those in need and without shelter. I am a full time student so when my classes are out I sometimes walk around the downtown area and pet care or walking will fit perfectly into my schedule in this aspect. I come home after my schedule and immediately play with my pets and make sure they are feeling great and healthy. My three cats and one dog love coming in the backyard with me especially when I am gardening they spend time with me and I enjoy just being outside with them. Besides that I enjoy taking my dog on walks every so often around our block. I will always take care of your pets how I would mine! I am a better safe than sorry person so I will always ask more questions than not just to be safe!
