“Maribel welcomed Rocky into her home and kept him happy and active while he was in her care. Maribel has a farm with lots of room to run, animals to fascinate, and even a river to play in. I could tell from the pictures and Rocky's interaction with Maribel and her family that he was well cared for and had a great time, too. She'll be on top of my list of sitters to reach out to in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Angela, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine for over 30 years. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I offer reliable, compassionate care that lets you travel with peace of mind. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. In fact, dogs are treated more like humans than dogs in my home. They’re truly a gift from God and I want to provide a sense of peace for you, knowing your fur-baby is in good hands. I also understand that each dog is unique—and I take the time to earn their trust and keep them comfortable and happy in your absence. Why I Love Dog Sitting: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. I love getting to know their personalities and seeing the joy in their tails when they’re relaxed and happy. What I Offer: ~Overnight care & vacation sitting ~Medication administration (oral, topical, injections) ~Senior dog care & puppy support ~Personalized attention based on your dog’s needs & routine My Experience: ✅ 30+ years of hands-on dog care ✅ Comfortable with seniors, puppies, and special needs dogs ✅ Medication admin (oral, topical, injections) ✅ Experience with shy, reactive, and high-energy dogs ✅ Long walks, belly rubs, and lots of love guaranteed If you’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of canine behavior, a calm and gentle presence, and a true love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your dog. As a teacher of 17 years, I'm available full time during the school year for dog boarding in my home. Whether you're heading out for the weekend, traveling for work, or going on a week long vacation, your pup will have a safe, calm, and loving place to stay. Although I am a teacher, I will have an hour and half in the morning to feed, walk, and interact with your pup before heading to work and will be home at 3:20pm for the rest of the day during the school year. After I return home from work, your dog becomes my full focus. I make sure they get plenty of quality time, including a walk, playtime, cuddles, and any care or enrichment they need to get energy out and to wind down happily. Evenings are for connection—whether that’s a long sniffy stroll, interactive games, or simply relaxing together on the couch. I follow your pup’s routine closely and ensure they’re never lacking attention or companionship after a day of rest. To ensure a "pawsitive" experience while I'm away for part of the day, I keep the environment calm, safe, and cozy while I’m gone, and I give your dog all the love and interaction they deserve when I return. Here's a little more about my schedule: School Year (August-May): ~Full-time availability for boarding ~Flexible drop-off and pick-up times ~Weekday and weekend stays welcome School Holidays & Breaks: I remain fully available during school holidays and breaks, with even more time for long walks, enrichment, and personalized attention. Summer (June-July): I remain fully available during my summer brea, with even more time for long walks, enrichment, and personalized attention. With 30+ years of experience, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly environment where your pet can feel relaxed, safe, and at home. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can travel worry-free! With over 30 years of experience, pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While caring for your dog in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment that helps dogs feel secure and at ease. I have an organized, clutter free, smoke free home in a beautiful neighborhood in Collinsville, VA and have included photos for you to see where your fur-baby would be staying should you choose me as your pet sitter. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and quiet—perfect for dogs who enjoy a cozy, low-stress environment. I don’t have young children (their ages are 20, 16, & 14) or other pets, so your dog will receive one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce new dogs, supervise all interactions, and provide plenty of space for rest and play. Safety Practices: ~Always on-leash outdoors, unless in a securely fenced area ~Regular check-ins with you via photos, snapchat videos, and phone calls as needed ~Administer medications exactly as directed ~Clean, organized, secure spaces with no access to hazards ~Emergency vet contact and pet first-aid knowledge You can trust that your dog will be treated with kindness, patience, and experienced care every step of the way. I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away.

“Natalie is so amazing with Luna and she loves coming to hang out and play. Natalie has taken such great care of my fur baby both times and I couldn't be more grateful that I can leave her and not have to worry 😊”

“Nicole was so wonderful! If there were more stars, I would definitely give them. She was so communicative and kind. And I could tell she took care of my pups just like how I would. She sent tons of photos and quickly responded. I’m always a little anxious to leave my babies, but she eased all the worries. I hope to board with her again.”

About: I’ve cat and dog sat for people throughout the years. I love all animals and provide them with all the necessary care and love they need. I work 2 nights and 1 full day a week and home taking care of my own 2 dogs the rest of the time taking them out to the dog park throughout the day to potty. I have stayed at another clients home to take care of her dog and did drop in visits throughout the day for other people. I live in an apartment and don’t have a yard but there is a big dog park. I have 2 crates for my dogs or for another dog while under my care if they need to be.

“Melissa was great. She was super loving toward our dogs and gave regular updates during their stay. We will definitely be back and highly recommend her.”

“Cynthia took such good care of my Shih Tzu and gave me lots of updates! Bentley kept looking back at her when we left like he was going to miss her. I could tell he had a great stay and would definitely book her again.”

About: I am a previous Veterinary Assistant of 5 years who is now a SAHM. I would love to provide your fur baby with a pleasant time while you are away. I have knowledge to give medications/insulin if needed and know that some pets have specific diets and certain accommodations. I personally have 2 dogs and 3 cats myself so I can guarantee that they would be treated just as if they were my own animals. I am currently a SAHM so if the pet is animal friendly with cats and dogs they can stay here with me while away. If they are not then I am more than happy to load up my kiddo and come to your house to take care of them. However I can not do an overnight stay with them as my child needs to return home for bedtime in his crib. I can do drop in visits only or the pet can stay here at our home. If pets are in my home they must be cat friendly and dog friendly as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. They will be leash walked and fed separately just as I do for my dogs. If they are a cat they will get their own litter box and space until they can get accustomed to everyone. I am also perfectly fine with going to your home where they are comfortable. I am fine with leash walking, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, or really any special accommodations you may have just ask!

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and taking care of them. My family has a poodle, a great Pyrenees and 10 cats which we all rescued from the streets. I work everyday 6 am to 3/4 pm, but as soon as I get off work I can come and spend the rest of the day playing with your loved ones. I treat my pets like gold and like the princess and princes that they are and would love to give the same care to yours. I am clean and responsible so you can have peace of mind while away that your pets are in the best possible hands.

“I needed a sitter for my dog on very short notice. Someone told me about Rover, so I tried a couple of sitters but did not receive a reply. I sent a request to Maddie and she responded almost immediately. I received messages and pictures keeping me updated on how my dog was doing. My dog Allie and I were both happy with the experience. I will definitely call Maddie first next time!”

And I love to spoil them, only if you are fine with it! I do work of course. I do also have my own animals and I have a little one. But normally I can figure something out to help you out! I have a fenced in area to let them run around in. I can crate your animal if need be. I do have other cats and dogs to socialize your animal. If at owners home ; whatever they feel most comfortable with!

About: Hi, my names Elizabeth and I’m a student at ECU.
