About: I am a mother of two grown children. I have had rabbits and dogs as pets since I was a child. For the past 7 years my husband and I have rescued 8 cats and 4 bunnies. At this point we live in “their house.” I work remotely and have lots of love and care to offer. I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility. I am physically very active for an animal that needs lots of movement. I can essentially set my own schedule. I have a fenced yard and 1-2 bedrooms that can be utilized exclusively for a visiting pet. Local park within walking distance. Meticulous in housekeeping and prioritizing needs of animals.

Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.

Miya is amazing! She enjoyed all our animals especially Hemingway! He loves her and pushed me out of the way to get to Miya! She helped me with some chores I’m unable to do and offered more help if I needed it! She is very pleasant and friendly! I would absolutely recommend Miya for pet walking or pet care! She is wonderful! Very kind and competent!

About: I have grown up with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. Animals have always held a special place in my life, and I understand that our animals are a true member of the family and should be treated as such. I have rescued two dogs of my own; we have learned to roll over, lay down, and spin around. With my years of experience and interaction with animals, I can guarantee that your pet will be in the best care. I currently work on an “as needed” basis so I have a very open day-to-day schedule, leaving me with the availability to spend any amount of time with the sweet dogs/cats in my care. I typically spend the weekends at home with a good book, hiking or playing disc golf in my free time, all of which include my dogs by my side. My dogs are obsessed with the water, so we are often found fishing or swimming at the river or lake when the weather is ideal. I will be caring for my dogs or others animals some of the time so if house-sitting, I might have to come and go here and there but your animals will always be top priority during that time. I will communicate with you before booking what my schedule will look like. I take my pups to the local parks or hiking trails at least a few times a week for new smells and extra activity. I am willing/able to take your dogs to new places if you would like, depending on how well they do in the car. I always dedicate at least 1-2 hours a day to my dog’s physical activity, so your pups will definitely have the opportunity to exercise and release all that energy, followed by an evening of many cuddles and sleeping in the bed. (if allowed)

About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s energetic puppy care, patient senior support, or helping shy pets feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while owners are away. As a pre-VMT student with a strong passion for animal care, I focus on safety, communication, and treating every pet like family. I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and those I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I am currently working part-time while also in school full time. My time for pets is fairly open and will try my best to find a time that works for all involved. In the clients home I follow each pets normal schedule to make everything run as smoothly as possible and keep them feeling safe and comfortable while their pawrent is away. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and yard clean up. For drop-in visits and overnight stays the same applies.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, but about 5 years ago I officially started working in the pet care industry... and honestly, it’s been the best job ever. I absolutely love dogs of all ages, from wild little puppies with zoomies to sweet senior pups who just want cuddles and company. I truly believe pets are family (basically furry children), and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet wants nonstop playtime, a walking buddy, couch snuggles, or just someone patient and loving while you’re away, I’m happy to be their temporary fun aunt 🐾 I decided to take a break from working full-time so I could go back to school and work part-time instead. Since I’ll be doing school from home with a flexible schedule, I’m available to spend as much time as needed with your baby! I own a home with about a 0.5 acre fenced in yard. I have a personal dog in my home, she is great at keeping company. If you would prefer your pup have crate time or sleep in a crate, just let me know! Otherwise, we are big fans of puppy cuddles and allow them on our furniture!

About: PLEASE READ TO THE END, there are important scheduling details you don’t want to miss! I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since I was a child, my family would always have 3 dogs and a cat at all times. I’m very familiar with dogs with environmental and food allergies as my own pup and one of my parents dogs have them. I am also experienced in administering medications to animals, and people(I’m a nurse during the week). I currently work full time on weekdays and I am free most weekends of the year. Weekday work schedule; Mon 9a-4:30p Tue 9a-4p Wed- Fri 7:30a-5:30p therefore I can only accept weekday requests outside of these times. My primary service area includes Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs. I do accept clients outside of this area; however, a $10 travel fee will be added for locations more than 10 miles away, as they typically require at least 20 minutes of travel time. I always walk my dogs on a leash. I always cross the road if approaching another dog and/or person walking to make sure everyone is safe and respected.

About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.

About: I've grown up around pets my whole life; dogs, cats, fish, even chickens! I can't imagine not being around them! Before I went to college I could dog sit for some of my mom coworkers during the summer. I would take them for walks, play with them, stay over night with them, anything I was asked of. I enjoy being around animals, they bring me joy and boost my serotonin. I promise I will love and care your pet(s) like they are my own! I am currently working a couple of odd jobs over the summer. I am a college athlete and have three volleyball camps to help run this summer. They are all out of town so I will not be available those weeks. I am also an Orientation Leader for my college. It's only for a week in June. It will take up most of the day but I do have times to come check on your animals! Other than that most of my days are free to have plenty of time to play and love on the babies! I am a very active person so I would love to take your dog(s) on walks. Maybe even take them to the park, if that is okay. If you have a yard I'll play with them there as well! I love getting their energy out and then just chilling and cuddling with them to make sure they feel loved.

About: Hello, I am Ang, a passionate and caring pet lover who has been a proud dog owner for over 15 years. With a spacious yard and plenty of play space, Our home is the perfect destination for dogs who need a comfortable and loving place to stay while their owners are away. We are a family that works from home so you can expect round the clock care for your pup. As a lover of travel, I understand how difficult it is to find quick, affordable care for my dogs. I am hoping to provide that service to those in the community that can relate. As a beginner Rover, I am excited to open my home to new furry friends and provide them with the same level of care and attention that I give to my own dogs. I am committed to making sure each dog in their care feels comfortable and happy, whether it's through long walks, extra snuggles, or just spending time together in the yard. I understand that every dog has unique needs and preferences, and I am dedicated to creating a tailored experience for each pup we take care of. With years of experience as a dog owner, I have developed a keen sense of how to provide a safe and nurturing environment for dogs of all ages and sizes. When you leave your dog with us, you can rest assured that they will be in good hands and receive all the love and care they deserve. Book your pup's stay today and give them a home away from home! Here's a sample schedule for caring for dogs during our dog boarding: 7:30 AM - Wake Up, Potty break, and food time! 8:30 AM - Free playtime in the yard and indoors 10:00 AM - Snack time and rest period 12:00 PM - Afternoon walk/playtime 1:30 PM - Free playtime in the yard 3:00 PM - Snack time and rest period 5:00 PM - Evening walk/playtime 6:30 PM - Dinner time and give any necessary medications 7:00 PM - Free playtime in the yard or indoors 8:00 PM - Wind down for the night and relax inside 9:00 PM - Final potty break before bed 10:00 PM - Lights out and good night! Of course, this schedule can be adjusted to meet the specific needs and routines of the dogs in your care. It's important to prioritize their physical exercise and mental stimulation, while also providing ample rest periods throughout the day. Additionally, feeding times and any medication schedules should be strictly adhered to. By following a consistent and structured schedule, we can help ensure that the dogs in your care feel safe, happy, and well-cared for during their stay. I have a fenced-in backyard and a large field for playing fetch in my development. I have a dog run that is cleaned regularly for potty breaks, and the main grass is reserved for play. We have one child who is 8 and very familiar with dogs as he has had 3 dogs since he was born. We recently lost our pug of 11 years and are looking forward to inviting new pup guests into our loving home. We are avid animal lovers and can be found regularly hanging out at local farms playing with goats, taking our youngest lab out for walks, frisbee, and hanging out at the river when the weather is warm. Hope to book with you soon :)

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.
