“Gabrielle was wonderful with Sunnie! She was available last minute and we really appreciate that! Sunnie seemed very comfortable with her and she was well cared for. We will definitely leave Sunnie with Gabrielle again. She updated us and provided photos during Sunnie’s stay :)”

“What a fabulous experience this was I could not be more happy. I had never left my little one before. This wasn’t my first time and I can tell she had an awesome experience. I did not wanna leave her alone because we were out of town. It would have to leave her alone all day long this way we only had to leave her for three hours Usually when I come back she’s shaking and crying and very sad if I were to leave her alone. When I came to pick her up from Julie she was happy and playful and wonderful. The care she received was excellent. Julie ‘s home was clean and inviting and safe for my baby. I will recommend her to everyone. We are going out of town for a week and I was gonna take my baby with me and find Care out there, but I’ve decided I’m going to leave her with Julie because she could not be more capable of caring for puppies than anybody I’ve ever known Thank you, Julie for being so wonderful to my baby. Can’t wait to work with you again. I come once a week to see my son at college and now I have a little drop in for my baby.”

Olly was such a sweetheart super gentle with Maya and very calm natured, definitely a cute little friendship dispute the huge size difference. Thank you so much!”

Stacie was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter. Will be booking her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had pets at home. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience, including raising two puppies who are now four years old. I’ve also helped out with dogs and cats for friends and neighbors. I make sure to give each pet the care and attention they deserve, helping them feel comfortable and loved! Hello! I’m Karoline, a college student at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I’m passionate about animals and looking to provide care during my free time. I have a pretty flexible schedule so please reach out!. I’d love to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! When I care for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and at ease. I stick to the care instructions, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or medication, and keep in touch with the owner to give updates or address any concerns. My goal is to make sure pets feel loved and safe, while giving their owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“Great to meet Isabella! She was very sweet when I dropped off my boy. Isabella kept me in the loop with a photo and update on how Malibu was doing. Malibu looked like he had a blast and enjoyed his time while I was away!”

About: I’m a dog lover with one very sweet pup, Goose. I recently lost my beloved pittie, DJ, and while I’m not ready to bring a second dog into my family full-time just yet, I do miss having a second set of paws in the house. That’s why I started Rover. It felt like a beautiful way to share my home, help another family, and bring some joy back into my daily routine. I work from home, so your dog will have constant company, plenty of attention, and a peaceful, structured environment. Goose and I do two walks a day (morning and evening, when it’s not too hot!) around the quiet pond in my neighborhood. I have a spacious house with lots of room to play, sunbathe, and snooze. And yes, the dogs are absolutely allowed on the couch, the bed, and pretty much wherever they feel comfy. My backyard isn’t fully fenced, but I use long 20-foot staked leashes so the dogs can safely run, lounge, and soak up the sun while I hang out with them outside. What sets me apart? I really love dogs. Like, more than most humans. I treat every dog like my own, with gentleness, attention, and a deep respect for their routines, quirks, and needs. Goose is the ultimate host: calm, kind, and respectful with every pup he meets. Whether your dog needs space, playtime, meds, or just someone to sit with them while they nap, I’m here for it! Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I work from home, so your pup will have constant company, whether they want to play, nap nearby, or just follow me around like the world’s cutest coworker. Goose and I do two walks a day (morning and evening) around the pond in my neighborhood. During the day, I hang outside with the dogs for short breaks using 20-foot staked leashes so they can safely sniff, sunbathe, and stretch their legs. Inside, my home is peaceful, spacious, and fully dog-friendly. Couches, beds, and sunny windows are all fair game. I don’t use a crate by default, but if that’s part of your dog’s routine, I’m happy to include it — just bring theirs along. Your pup will be treated like one of my own. Loved, safe, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one dog at a time (or one family of dogs), so your pup will never be overwhelmed or competing for attention. If it’s your first time booking with me, I like to schedule a quick meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Goose get along. He’s incredibly sweet and respectful, but I want everyone to feel safe and comfortable before a stay. I supervise all outdoor time. My yard isn’t fenced, but I use 20-foot staked leashes so the dogs can safely lounge and sniff while I’m outside with them. Inside, it’s a calm, cozy, dog-friendly home. Couches, beds, and sunny spots are all fair game. I’ll keep your pup’s routine consistent: feeding schedules, crate time (if needed, just bring yours), and any medication they need. Whatever they’re used to, I’ll stick to it. You’ll get regular updates and plenty of cute photos, and your dog will be treated like one of my own.
