About: Hi! My name is Ashton and I have 7 years experience in check-in pet care for dogs and cats. Growing up on a farm, I was always been around animals but my love for animals grew even more when I adopted my soul cat, Biscuit. If I could have an house full of pets I would, but unfortunately due to Biscuits medical issues, he requires being the only animal in the house. This is why I love pet sitting so much!! It allows me to love on so many different fur babies! I have experience with all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I can also provide extra patience/attention to animals who may be shy/nervous or may have anxiety (social, separation, storm, etc.) I am knowledgeable on specific special needs such as dietary restrictions and medication administration. As a pet owner myself, I love to provide owners a peace of mind while away from their fur babies, as well as provide reliable care and love to their pet! Can provide excellent references! Can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I currently work from home full time during the week. With my ability to work remotely, I am available during the day, as well as afternoons. Also, have open availability on the weekends. Not providing care in my home at the moment. Only available for care at the owners home due to already having a pet in the home

“Carol was a great dog sitter and I will definitely have her watch my dog again. She sent me updates about my dog as well as pictures. I felt very comfortable with living my dog with Carol. ”

About: I treat every pet as if they’re my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and responsibility. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m incredibly loving and attentive, always making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with detailed messages, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them with calm, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My husband and I are both retired and just moved back to Leland, NC. We both have completely open availability to accommodate any needs or schedule. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My schnauzer especially loves to play and is always excited to make a new friend! My husband is also at home—he’s a true animal lover (and a bit of a dog whisperer). Our pups are our kids, and we treat all animals like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three rescue dogs of my own! I rescued my first dog, Mia, while I was in college, adopted my second, Poppy, last year, and recently welcomed our third rescue after she was found abandoned in a field. Having three dogs with different personalities and backgrounds has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to take the time to learn what makes your dog feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk to get some energy out, a quick potty break during the workday, some extra playtime, or simply company and attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own dogs. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and always happy to send plenty of photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for! 🐾 I’m a real estate agent, which means I have a very flexible schedule and work from home often! This gives me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, check-ins, or just hanging out and keeping your pets company. My schedule allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine, and I love having an excuse to spend even more time with animals! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet may need. I’m also happy to spend extra time giving them attention, playing, or just keeping them company! I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and getting lots of love while you’re away!

“Cosette helped me out in a pinch when I needed a last minute dog walker! She’s so kind and professional and I know my fur baby loves her. Thanks again! ❤️”

About: With a lifelong love of animals and experience, caring for everything from tiny puppies to giant breeds, rescue dogs and cats, I bring patience, compassion, and a genuine understanding of each pets individual needs. Growing up with a variety of animals has taught me that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and way of showing affection. I believe great pet care starts with getting to know your pet whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup giving a rescue time to feel comfortable or sticking closely to your pets familiar routine. I take the time to make sure they feel safe happy and cared for. You can expect dependable care, plenty of affection and thoughtful communication while you’re away. I know how much your pets mean to you and I want you to feel ease knowing they’re carrying hands and walks in potty breaks to playtime, companionship. My goal is to make your pets day a little brighter and give you one less thing to worry about! I’m working toward making pet care my primary focus, which allows me to offer flexible daytime availability for walks and drop in visits. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pets individual routine whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, feeding, playtime or a little extra companionship while you’re away. I aim to provide consistent dependable care that fits naturally into your pet day. I’m happy to discuss recurring visits as well as an occasional bookings and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pets needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I want you to feel just as comfortable trusting me with your space as you do with your pets, I’ll treat your home the same respect and care I would my own keeping things tidy, following your household routine, and making sure everything is just as you left it. My priority is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs, while giving them plenty of love and attention along the way.

You can count on me to be thoughtful, responsible, and attentive to both your pets and your space.

About: I've been an animal lover for all of my life, and grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all life stages, as well as other animals like guinea pigs, chickens, and more. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I am available to give my full attention to your pets for whatever they need, be that walks, play time, baths, or just lots of cuddles! I am available 6am- 10pm most days, and available on Wednesdays and Fridays 6am- 5pm. While caring for your pet, safety is my top priority, so I like to limit interactions with other animals that I am unfamiliar with how they interact, and keep the pets environment clean and safe. Additionally, I like to maintain your pets regular routine and stay attuned to their needs, weather it be feeding, brushing, exercise, companionship, or whatever else may arise, to keep your furry friend happy and your mind at ease while you are away.

About: As a veterinary assistant, I offer trained hands, expert attention for seniors or puppies, and true peace of mind while loving your pup like my own! As a full-time student, my daily schedule gives me flexible home study hours, perfect for frequent potty breaks, cozy study breaks, and lots of attentive love. In your home, I keep your pet comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, offering gentle care, fun playtime, and endless cuddles in familiar surroundings! With a background in animal science studies and experience working in a veterinary clinic, I'm well versed in pet safety, body language, and handling special care routines or medication with ease.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 5 years and have cared for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, fish, and lizards. I am very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am also experienced in giving medications and following specific care instructions when needed. My mom is a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals and learned a lot about proper pet care and paying attention to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like they are my own! I am currently a college student at UNCW, and I have a 3+ hour break between every class, so I have plenty of free time to take pets out for a potty break throughout the day. I am also completely free most weekends, so I have lots of time to spend with pets! I usually care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a place they already know and feel comfortable in. I always make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime. I’ll also make sure the house is clean, secure, and just the way the owner left it. Most importantly, I want both the pets and their owners to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands.

“Andrea is a wonderful dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. She responds quickly and is great at communication. I always look forward to seeing the Rover Card she fills out after walking my dog. I can tell from the pictures she sends that my dog has a great time with her! I'm so glad I found her on Rover and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and find them much easier to connect with than people. I currently have 3 rescues of my own and couldn’t imagine life without them. I have experience with giving medications to both cats and dogs of all ages, walking and exercising pets, dealing with reactive/skittish animals, rescue animals, and of course, lots of cuddles! I am currently available to take care of your pets almost any time/any day! I’m in school for IT and have a very flexible schedule. I’m open to coming to your house to care for your animals as needed, whether that is a quick check in, a few walks a day, or a short stay.

About: Growing up I had a goldfsh, a guinea pig named Peanut and finally after a lot of begging a beautiful rescue border collie mix named Phoebe. As a teenager I didn't always understand the responsibility and caring of a dog , however Phoebe always loved me, even when she was diagnosed with cancer and not having some good days. Every time I came home there she was so happy to see me. It was then I realized there is no love like a dogs love. Years have passed and so has Phoebe but she was my first dog and I will always cherish that. I now have three golden retriever fur babies. I adore them and love taking care of them even though they really take care of me. I love all dogs and being active so dog walking feels like a great fit! I'm available Monday- Friday's from 6:00am to 7:00am and anytime after 5:00 pm for walks and any time Until 4:00pm on Saturdays. Sundays are flexible and can work with a schedule. Right now I will not be boarding any dogs or house sitting. As far a dog walking I am very punctual, great with meeting and learning new dogs behaviors, I also live in Castle Hayne area and enjoy walking the paved trail at northern regional park.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 25+ years, and connecting with them has always come naturally to me. I’m especially attuned to pets who are sensitive, shy, or need a calm and steady presence. Whether I’m walking dogs, checking in on cats, or supporting small animals, I focus on helping them feel safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all ages and temperaments • Cats who range from independent to highly social • Small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, etc.) • Horses and farm animals (currently expanding my formal training) My approach is simple: meet each animal exactly where they are that day. Some need play and structure, some need quiet companionship, and some need a very gentle introduction. I pay close attention to cues, routines, and emotional needs so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can work to fit you and your pet’s need. It’s possible I’m available if the fly but to be safe, 48 hours is best. Your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing are my top priorities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, and I follow your routines exactly to help your pet stay grounded while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from me: • Attentive, consistent care I stay fully present with your pet — no distractions, no rushing. I observe behavior, energy levels, and anything unusual, and I always communicate clearly with you. • Secure, mindful handling I double-check gates, doors, and leashes before and after every visit. I do not do off-leash walks unless we are in a secure, fully fenced area. • Respect for your home I leave things exactly as I found them and ensure everything is locked and safe when I leave. • Comfort-focused care I follow your pet’s preferred routines, walking styles, feeding instructions, and any sensitivities they have. For shy or anxious animals, I move slowly, speak softly, and let them set the pace. • Transparent communication You’ll receive honest updates, photos, and notes from each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your animals — and your home — are in safe, steady, trustworthy hands.
