About: I spent time at a horse farm regularly, cared for animals often, and have owned dogs and cats, giving me hands-on, reliable pet care experience. I’m available most times throughout the week. I’m unavailable from 11:00–12:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 3:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Flexible Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow care instructions closely, provide updates, and create a calm, loving environment at all times. Always attentive.

About: As a current graduate student in social work, I bring empathy, patience, and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats, through both personal familial experience and through pet sitting for multiple clients, each with different needs, routines, and personalities. I am attentive to detail and behavior, am experienced with maintaining schedules, following instruction, and communicating clearly. I prioritize being respectful of both pets and their homes, and as a busy grad school student without a pet, love treating each pet with love as if it were my own. Thankfully, pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a busy grad student, I am highly organized and plan my weeks in advance. This allows me to reliably commit to overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. Caring for pets is something I intentionally make time for, as it can be grounding for me, and is something I genuinely have always enjoyed doing. I am dependable with time and commitments, and will only accept booking I know I can prioritize and fully commit to. I primarily offer pet care in clients’ homes, helping ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, and if applicable, walks, medication, playtime, litter box care, and any household guidelines. I give pets affection, attention, and enrichment based on their needs, making sure to update with messages and photos. I am extremely mindful of being respectful in the home, keeping the space clean and safe, along with your pet!

About: Hi! I’m a full-time work-from-home professional with a flexible schedule and a deep love for animals. I share my days with Moonstar, my joyful 24-pound pup who’s been by my side since she was just 7 weeks old. I fully trained her myself—and yes, she still joins me for kitchen dance parties and sandy beach zoomies! With a background in Psychology and 15+ years of caregiving experience (both human and animal!), I bring calm, intuitive energy to every pet I meet. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals over the years, including feisty puppies, shy cats, sassy kittens, senior pets, and rescue animals with unique needs. Whether they purr or bark, I understand how to meet each animal where they are with compassion and patience. I’m especially skilled at working with quirky, anxious, or high-energy pets and take extra care to ensure each one feels safe, seen, and truly loved. Whether your pup thrives on structured play or your cat prefers quiet companionship and gentle attention, I provide personalized care that fits their unique personality. I’ll make your pet feel at ease, even when you’re away. 💛 **Book with me 3x and I’ll lock in your rates so you never pay more** I’m grateful that I have the ability to make my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility to easily meet the unique needs of you and your pets.

About: PLEASE READ OUR PROFILE FIRST BEFORE MESSAGING WITH QUESTIONS AS THIS WILL MOST LIKELY ANSWER YOUR MOST COMMON QUESTIONS AND HELP YOU FIGURE OUT IF THIS WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PET! ** My name is Brayden! I am married to my beautiful wife, Samantha and we have 4 dogs of our own (a Great Dane and 3 labs) and live with our two youngest children (13 and 17). We have grown up with dogs all of our lives and have the BIGGEST soft spot for animals of any kind. We enjoy being around animals because they make us laugh, smile, and generally just feel good. I have been in professional pet sitting for 20 years, 8 of which have been on Rover/private LLC. While I no longer offer boarding and daycare, I would LOVE to come and spoil your fur babies ant your place. In addition to dog walking as a business, we are involved in real estate and mental health counseling. In our free time we love being on the beach, jeep riding, riding our golf cart around, fishing, out on our boat, kayaking, or just relaxing and taking in the beautiful sunsets. We are highly experienced with over 20 years of caring for pets. I have experience with all kinds of pets from Great Danes and cats, to rabbits, birds, and snakes. I have extensive experience with a wide variety of animals. Pet Care has been my primary source of income for the past 8 years. As of writing this I am currently in Grad School getting my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as well as building my real estate career. Anyone that knows me will tell you that animals are a huge part of my life. I love spending time with them and being around them. It is very rewarding for me. I have experience with all kinds of animals and I have an immense amount of patience for puppies.

About: Making sure animals feel loved, secure and happy are my priority always. I have taught my own dog tricks and commands like “sit,” “paw,” “down,” and “up,” as well as teaching her to use bells when she needs to go to the bathroom. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs, they have all enjoyed their time with me. When I’m not at work I’m hanging around with my own dog. We go on walks, play, have treats, work on her commands, lay out in the sun and listen to her favorite songs together. In my clients home, I am willing to do anything necessary by the pet owner to ensure their animals’ safety and security. My dog is shy but extremely playful so I will not be offering my own home for pet care.

“Helena was excellent!!!”

About: I have grown up having multiple dogs throughout my entire life and know how important it is to find someone reliable and trusting with a fur family member. I have dog and cat sitting experience starting from 13 years old to now being an adult! I’ve had multiple experiences with many sizes and breeds of dogs. I am also more than happy to do a brief meet and greet to see if it’s a good fit! I also think it’s helpful (in my experience) to receive pictures of your pet(s) while away - that’s always helped me, so I tend to do the same and send updates and pictures to the families of the dog/cat as well. I currently work from home and have flexibility throughout the day. I already have walks planned into my day and live in a neighborhood that’s easily walkable! I have a fenced in yard if your dog prefers staying outdoors or going out for potty breaks. I also have the space to crate if needed.

About: I have been a pet parent since 1990 including cats and dogs. They have all lived long lives. And all were very taken care of. I love them more than humans. I love them unconditionally. I work from home and have spare free time that I love sharing with my pets. I consider pets therapeutic and they fulfill my soul. And I cannot imagine my life without them. I live on North end and and a dog friendly community. We have many pet stations in green Spaces where they can walk around. I love to take them on walks around Carolina lake where it is safe from traffic and other natural trails.

“Once again Shyloh took wonderful care of our girl!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and as a senior in high school started as a dog grooming assistant and went on to become a groomer in college, giving me about 5 years of experience before graduating and becoming a nurse. I’ve always had a passion for caring for pets, and as someone who needs help with pet care myself I understand the importance of having someone trustworthy caring for them. I work full time as a nurse 3 days a week, and on my days off have plenty of time to check in on your pet. I have my own pup at home that strives to be everyone’s friend, and in your home will do what it takes to keep your pet both comfortable and happy with lots of play and love.

About: I stand out from other sitters because of my deep love and understanding of dogs, as well as my hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I know how important it is to provide both physical care and emotional comfort to pets while their owners are away. I have experience caring for senior dogs, ensuring they receive the patience and special attention they need, including administering medications if required. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training for puppies to help maintain consistency in their routine. Beyond that, I love engaging dogs in fun activities like walks, playtime, and even swimming if they enjoy it! Whether your pet needs energetic play or calm companionship, I tailor my approach to fit their unique personality and needs. Working from home I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, or just some company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your pets. My priority is to ensure your pet feels secure, whether at my home or yours.

“I am so glad we found Amber— our dog Moses loves hey! Despite booking very last minute, Amber made time to come meet Mo the night before and learn about him. She was attentive and made sure to take care of his every need. She sent a report after every walk and we came home to a very happy pup that night! We will definitely be using Amber in the future.”

I firmly believe that regular veterinary care is essential and if you can’t afford it don’t have a pet . I recently lost my wife of 60 years and caring for a pet would fill a void ! Dogs are precious and deserve a caring safe environment. I have a fenced yard and a 5 year old pug who is friendly !my cottage is clean and well maintained . The rooms are solid wood so no problem if a dog has an indoor accident . I am retired and spend most of my time at home so I welcome a dog as very nice company
