About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello! I’m an animal science major at North Carolina State University. I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years now for friends and family. I worked at Willow Run Dog Boarding for 4 years before they sold it. I’ve also helped out long-term for a family who worked night shifts for a year and I foster dogs through Saving Grace while I’m at school! I’m a college student home for the summer, and I'm currently looking for a part-time job. I’m free all day everyday 🤗 I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes. At home, we have a fenced-in yard and one husky, but I prefer caring for pets through home visits so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m also happy to help with small tasks around the house like watering plants, bringing in mail, or keeping things tidy while you’re away. I enjoy being active and outdoors, while also making sure pets stay safe and comfortable in the heat.

“Morgan is great with Bailey. She is very reliable and I really appreciate her feedback from each service with pictures. I would highly recommend her!”

“America was amazing. She walked my baby for me with little notice. She was polite and asked questions so that Benji could get the best care. Highly recommend.”

“Tricia has walked my dog for the past few weeks and is wonderful. Very communicative, on time, and very kind. My dog takes so well to her and I’m so grateful for the extra help during the week.”

About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs and cats for over 8 years. I love animals and love giving them attention. I will make sure your beloved furry family member is taken care of. I am currently working at a part time job Monday to Thursday, so I would be able to help out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at any time! I strive to be punctual and respectful of my clients home. I follow rules and always try to communicate as clearly and promptly as possible!

About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve navigated everything from the 'puppy phase' to the delicate needs of senior dogs, including hands-on medical care like shots and daily meds. These days, I spend my time with Alfie, my 3-year-old Golden Retriever. I’ve raised him since he was a puppy, training him myself and enjoying our daily routine of fetch and lounging. I’ve never met a dog I didn't like, and I’m just as comfortable handling a tiny Terrier as I am a powerful Cane Corso! I am a teacher on summer break looking to put pet parents minds at ease just as my own Rover sitter does during the school year! As a professional educator, I bring a high level of safety, accountability, and care to my students and pets. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with a focus on security and routine. I’m happy to let your pups out for some fresh air in a fenced yard or take them on leashed walks to burn off some energy.

About: I grew up with dogs big and small! I’ve handled elderly dogs that needed diapers and help walking, given medication to dogs who dont want them, and taught boundaries and basic commands to a dog who was untrained. Whatever your furry friend needs, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently free almost every single day! Im a home body who was laid off recently so this is my current job! I do not have any other permanent plans during the week and can be free when needed! I prefer to work in the client’s home as that is the pet’s safe space. I can adapt to any life style a pet requires of me. Some prefer 2-3 walks a day. Some cannot walk a lot and need to be helped. I understand every pet is different and with that comes different types of care for the pet.

“We’re so thankful to have Mackayla as our dog walker! She has been walking our mini Australian Shepherd, Maggie, since January 2025, and the bond they’ve built is truly special. Maggie is a sensitive girl, and Mackayla has been incredibly patient and intuitive with her from day one. Whether Maggie wants to walk a full mile, just half, or isn’t in the mood for a walk at all, Mackayla always meets her where she is. She’ll play with her in the yard or simply sit and offer gentle affection. She takes the time to read Maggie’s body language and always keeps us informed if something seems off. Maggie absolutely adores her—she gives her hugs, kisses, and greets her with happy squeals every time she arrives. As I recover from foot surgery, it’s such a relief to know that Maggie is in such good hands. Mackayla is also helping us work through Maggie’s separation anxiety by walking her while I’m home, building even more trust and independence. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Mackayla gives. She’s made a real difference in both Maggie’s life and ours.”

About: I’m a dedicated cat owner of two adorable cats and understand how important routines, litter box monitoring, feeding schedules, and daily updates are for pet parents. My childhood dog passed away last year, but he was an 110 lb German Shepherd /Alaskan Malamute and I would walk him daily, so I am no stranger to big dogs! I will make sure to send many update pics 😊 Use my code below for $20 off your first Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/audref10358 I currently work a 9-5 but am off at 12 on Fridays, so I am available after work for walks and drop-in’s as well as anytime Friday after 1 and anytime on the weekends! My cats are indoor cats but I am no stranger to taking care of dogs, and big ones at that. Your pet’s safety is my #1 concern

About: I've taken care of pets for a very long time, growing up with a dog and as an adult having two cats. I love animals so much, and my biggest priority will always be their safety and comfort. When it comes to dogs, I've pet-sat and done drop-ins for many peoples pets these past years. I love going on long walks with dogs that need them, and I understand some have limitations and may just need to be let out to the back yard too. I also love to play with the more energetic ones that want to play. I'm very respectful of your space and privacy. I'll make sure that if I stay in your home to pet-sit, everything will be back they way it was (pr better) by the time I've finished taking care of your dog. I can also administer topical and oral medications for dogs, so if they need daily pills or to have their flea and tick preventative administered, I can absolutely help! I'm also happy to provide daily check-ins with you regarding your pet! If you need someone detail-oriented, attentive, and respectful of your pet's boundaries, then I'm here for you. I work part time and I can make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to either drop in to take care of your pets, or stay in your home with them! I'm happy to follow any instructions you leave regarding your pet's safety. If you need to ensure that child protective locks are always in place or that you dog gets crated at the end of the day, I can guarantee that will happen. I'm also very cautious of little escape artists, and will be sure that your pets are securely in your home as I'm leaving and entering.

“Chelsey was great! Reliable and attentive.”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a little girl playing in the dirt on a country farm. I’ve been around animals in some capacity all my life. I’ve owned many different breeds of dogs throughout my life, from small to large. I currently have one little Yorkiepoo, Ella, who is most definitely a lap dog, always searching for a good tummy rub, and who is missing her sweet brother, Odie, a dachshund mix who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. We miss our sweet boy so much. I am also the very proud grandma to two sweet grandpups whom I dog-sit regularly. Meadow Maui, a sweet, shy Golden Pyrenees, and Fawn Faye, a rambunctious Rough Collie, have me wrapped around their paws. They love visiting Grandma’s house because they know it’s full of treats, belly rubs, snuggles, and nonstop spoiling. 🐾 I am available daily for drop-ins, cuddles, and dog walks. I also provide boarding in my home. I require a meet and greet prior to boarding so that your dog can meet my small Yorkiepoo, Ella. I have a fenced in backyard and many dogs have enjoyed their time staying at my house. I regularly dog-sit my daughter’s two rambunctious pups. As a teacher, I am a rule follower, pay close attention to detail, and strive to make your pups fall in love with their temporary grandma. I’m used to being up super early and will make sure your pups get the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away. My daughter is in the vet tech industry and is always a phone call away to answer any questions I may have about basic dog care needs.

About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.

About: I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life—I’ve had a dog since I was 3 years old. I grew up with German Shepherds and have also spent a lot of time caring for smaller breeds like Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, and Dachshunds through family. I have a genuine love for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I would truly enjoy the opportunity to care for your furry family member while you’re away. I’m a full-time graduate student during the day and work part-time a few days during the week, which means my afternoons are typically free. This gives me plenty of time to spend quality time with your furry companion and get to know their personality, needs, and routine while you’re away. In your home, I will provide attentive and personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of affection, as well as administering basic medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home tidy, follow any specific instructions you provide, and send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, my whole life, both big and small. Friends and family have relied on me to watch over their pets on multiple occasion. I’ve worked with pets who have to be fed and walked at certain times. I worked full-time. That being said I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 PM and I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday. Every pet is different and I am full prepared to ensure that your pet is well taken care of. I can ensure timely feeding and walks while also ensuring they receive the attention and playtime they need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have dog sat for my friend’s families a few times either by dog sitting or just checking in on them. I have interacted with many different breeds of dogs. I am currently finishing online school and waiting to go back to college in the fall so I am am able to take care of your pets within a flexible schedule. I have a 6 year old border collie/german shepherd mix and just recently had a pit/lab mix pass away. My 6 year old now is walked and played with everyday and she is well trained. She gets a treat a day and fed morning and night.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a pre-med student at NC State that is looking to continue caring for animals and enjoy doing it! I am home for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which helps me stay consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time. I ensure they are always fed, hydrated, cared for, and active throughout the experience to ensure the pets remain happy and healthy. I will play with the pet and take them for lots of walks. I will also clean up any and all messes to maintain a clean environment.
