“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”

About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs for years, including my own two dogs with very different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, larger dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving lots of attention and affection. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, organized, and used to following routines and specific instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while they’re with me! During the school year, I work as a teacher, so I’m primarily available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on school breaks. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. My schedule can vary, so I’m always happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can meet their pet’s needs. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. My apartment community has a dog park for convenient outdoor and play time, and with owner permission, I also enjoy taking dogs to larger parks like Dorothea Dix and Lake Benson. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, personality, and comfort level. During boarding, your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love, along with pictures and updates throughout their stay!
About: Hi, I’m Essence and I love dogs of all ages and sizes and have cared for my friends and family’s pets throughout the years. I’ve also had many of my own pets, but don’t have any right now. I anticipate each pets needs and give them their desired amount of attention, care, and cuddles! I love going on trail walks or walk around the neighborhood so if you have an active dog, we can do that together! If your dog is more laid back and likes to hang out indoors, we can do that too! I work from home so I’m free to care for pets throughout the day and have time to provide excellent care for your pet. I also go for walks each morning that a pet could easily join in on. I don’t have any pets off my own, but that’s just more attention I can provide for your pets! I’m willing to give your pet the care and attention they need.
“Kira was amazing with my kitty and she took care of her well while I was away. She followed all the instructions and were communicative. I’d feel at ease trusting her with my kitty’s care again!”

“Ella was amazing! She followed all of my instructions and messaged me back immediately, not only that but I had a few extra requests while she was with my cats and she took care of everything I needed. Truly above and beyond, would definitely book with her again. :)”

About: I’m a Junior at NCSU in the Pre-Vet program! I am a certified vet assistant, worked as a kennel attendant, and I volunteer with a local cat rescue often. I have experience with aggressive, disabled, and high energy animals, as well as all types of species! I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the best care! I am currently taking classes but I am flexible in the mornings and evenings to take care of your pet! I am often free and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I will walk dogs with awareness and attentiveness of your pet, and during house visits I will make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and healthy! I will make sure your pet is active and playing, and I don't mind attending to other requests while you're away.

“Alexis was great with Spooky! I was happy to find someone available kind of last minute for the holiday weekend. I got pictures of my boy each time he was cared for and Spooky looked like he was having a great time in every picture! I would definitely recommend Alexis if you need a sitter for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
“Courtney was great! She took great care of my cat and was flexible when I added additional visits to her schedule. She made sure to update me on when she was visiting and sent plenty of pet photos during her visits. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

“Nicole took such good care of my babies while we were on vacation. I appreciated the communication and updates. Definitely made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands with her. We will definitely be using Nicole in the future.”

“Ellen was very communicative and helpful in our last minute request. She was so gentle and caring with Virgil and made sure to send pictures. Will consider booking again.”

“I really appreciate Susan’s flexibility with my last minute booking. She followed care instructions for my two kitties insuring my senior kitty got his medication. Thank you for keeping me updated with pics throughout your visits.”
“Lauren was sweet and understanding when we hit some hiccups! She was super willing to give my babies meds and so much attentions (even when they were acting a bit naughty for her) Would 1000% use her again!”

About: WALKING & DROP-INS ONLY 🐾 I do not walk before sunrise or after sunset. I strive to give my pet parents the best photos of their babies! Check out my photos to see some of the results! 🫶🏻 I have experience with amputees, post-op, dogs with anxiety, puppies, and senior dogs (my 16 year old tripawd chihuahua passed away recently 💔). I have experience administering medication, feeding hard and soft food (refrigerated, heated up or at room temperature), managing a post-surgery cone, suture observation, providing assistance navigating the home, and easing fears when they arise. I have experience taking care of Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Great Danes, Huskies, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Spaniels, Mixed Breed dogs in a variety of sizes, and cats. I’m available ☔️ or ☀️ maybe even ❄️ but not 🌪️. Although I’m no longer boarding, I predominantly work from home so Rover fits well into my schedule. I’m unavailable on Monday and Tuesdays but am flexible on other days. I would care for anyone’s pet the same way I would care for my own, with the most love, care, and respect for the animal as possible. If I’m in the client’s home, I would follow the client’s instructions on how to best serve the animal while I’m there.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old! I have experience with pets of all ages (from month old puppies to elderly pets). I started out my pet care with multi-day full time stays and have performed week-long stays before with pets. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, small all the way to extra large. I am an NC State student so my weeks are quite packed. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free before 11:15am and after 5:15pm for visits/walks. I am unavailable at on Tuesdays and on Thursdays I am only available to pet sit if the sitting starts after 6:30-7:00pm as I work til 5:00pm and you are okay with my Friday schedule. On Fridays, I am free after 5:00pm for visits/walks. I do not work or have school on the weekends so I am completely free 6:30am-8:30pm for walks/visits. I am free to pet sit on the weekends given I do not have something scheduled (in which case my calendar would reflect my unavailability). While I do not do housing of any kind, I have experience staying full time in another’s house while they are away. I can feed and walk anyone’s pets the way they instruct and will provide any form of check-in needed for the owner to be comfortable (pictures, videos, extensive verbal updates, calls, etc.).
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Central is $20

Highly recommend Kathleen! She was kind enough to pop by and do a meet and greet to get to know my pup before accepting booking and kept me posted the whole time I was away - even making sure to let me know when she wasn’t eating and was willing to pivot in feeding directions to accommodate! Ash seemed very happy and well taken care of when I arrived back home. Would for sure book with Kathleen again!

Madison was incredible with our two dogs this week. I was completely impressed with her level of communication, her attention to detail, and her willingness to help our dogs. One of them is a puppy and she just got spayed, and Madison was very kind and helpful during her recovery on the visits this week. I can recommend Madison at the highest level that there is. We definitely will be hiring her again. Thank you again.

Heather is terrific. She spends quality time with our cat, making sure she has plenty of food, treats water and a clean litter box while we are traveling. She goes above and beyond her Rover duties, contacting us if something doesn’t look quite right around the house or neighborhood. I trust her implicitly in my home and with my cat!
