Amber was great! Waffles didn’t seem to mind at all that we were gone. She had a blast with her new friend. I’ll definitely be using Amber again.

Sarah has been great with my knew puppy. She is very tentative to him, nice, and responsible. She pays attention to details without prompting. My puppy appears to look forward to her drop in visits.

So happy we found Ashleigh! Just had our first drop in visit. It went great! Was comforting to know that Ashleigh broke up our pups’ day and left awesome notes and photos from the visit. She met with us the day before so the dogs could meet her with us and was and we could share their normal activities and play preferences. We’re in a unique situation were our pups have to be separated with a gate. It’s a very calm and controlled environment with the gates. But, without seeing it, that sound like a lot. Ashleigh gave us a chance and handled the pups great! We will definitely be requesting Ashleigh for our future sitter needs.

Callie was heartwarmingly patient with my anxious pit. Callie went out of her way to help me, and I’m honestly in awe at how she won my pittie over in the first solo visit. Training? Experience? Kindness that even my weirdo dog could sense? Thanks, Callie.

Emma has taken care of my 3 cats twice now. Usually my cats hide from people as they come in the house but they always run to her. She takes such good care of them so I feel comfortable leaving for a few days at a time.

About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.

Sandy took excellent care of our 3 kitties - from feeding them to cleaning the litter boxes ( & any messes they made) and spending time with them. She kept us informed and was very responsive and detailed. We highly, highly recommend her services. She truly loves animals and was a professional through and through. Thank you again, Sandy!

Thank you for taking care of Buoy while I was away. Cara was open to a drop-in visit to give my wild man some attention while I traveled. She sent pictures of him of him playing ball and relaxing after playtime.

About: I have always had a heart for dogs and have always been an animal lover, I have a variety of animals and that is what makes me different I am a college student at Nc state but my courses are earlier in the day and I do not have class on Fridays so if there was weekend that an anima needed to be watch I can be there! I take care of my pets like I take care of myself if I am eating they will be fed. I love to be outdoors, so I always make sure I bring my animals outside and do new things because it’s their first time living too.

About: I absolutely love animals. I've had dogs and cats since I was 6. Since then I've help train a service dog and fostered many other dogs. I currently have three dogs: chihuahua mix, pug rat terrier mix, and a great Pyrenees. I currently am a personal trainer so I don’t have a set schedule. I will be able to let the pet outside or spend time with them in between clients. I can take the pets on daily walks, depending on their schedule and when they like to. I like to know where the food is and if they get treats for doing specific things.

Jenna is the best of the best! She treats the animals in her care like they are her own. I have one very outgoing and energetic pup and Jenna makes sure she gets all of her wiggles out while she is there. My older female is scared of everything, and Jenna takes the time to make sure she is comfortable during the visit. We are so lucky to have Jenna be part of our pack!

Leigh was the best pup sitter! She was reliable, punctual, caring, flexible and always communicated. I was nervous being away from them, and she always made me feel better when she had her visit with my babies. She even let me know that she thought something was a little off with my Chihuahua. This way I knew to pay a little extra attention to make sure he was OK when I got home.

About: I've always had a dog in the family to care for and now I get the pleasure of caring for my "granddogs"! I feel comfortable administering medicines and accommodating special needs your best friend may have! I just recently retired and am looking to fill the hours I would normally be working with jobs from Rover. I am typically available Monday through Thursday but do occasionally shift my schedule to accommodate travelling with my better half! I typically offer services away from my home being that I do not have a fenced in area for play time. I feel more comfortable coming to your fur baby's home to check in on them.
