“Megan is the best! My finicky cat decided she liked her, so that says all I need to know! She was detail oriented, focused, and kind. She provided daily updates and pictures from her drop ins. This gave me such peace of mind. I will be requesting her for all my sitter services!”

“Kelly was the most amazing caregiver. She truly worked to understand each pet’s personality and give them the attention they needed. I will definitely be contacting Kelly again, should the need arise.”

“Gabriel did a fantastic job with our pups! He was very attentive and asked many questions during the pre-drop in visit. During our time away he made sure to take photos and keep us informed on how they were doing. I would recommend him for your sitting needs!”

“She was a wonderful sitter! I really loved how much my kids seemed to enjoy her presence while we were gone. 10/10 would recommend and book her again!! She was very responsive, very thorough, let me know if anything happened, and was on time!!”

“Ashley did a great job with our extremely skittish dog and cat! She was punctual, and my animals were taken good care of. I loved the pics she sent while we were gone.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for multiple pets at once (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.) I also spent time helping out on farms. Therefore, I am no stranger to routine, responsibility or muddy paws! What truly sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian, which gives me 24/7 access to expert guidance if an emergency or health question/concern arises. In addition, during my Marine Corps service, I have done dog sitting at the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, where dependability was key. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in cybersecurity. Therefore, I am currently dedicating my time to my studies, which affords me the freedom to care for your pets anytime. Pet safety is my top priority. Whether I am watching your pets in your home or caring for them in mine, I keep all harmful foods and household items out of reach. Additionally, we only use veterinarian-approved treats and toys (with a vet in the family, I don't guess when it comes to safety). Your pets will get plenty of supervised playtime and outdoor activity, along with a calm structured environment to help them feel more at home. I am very respectful in others' homes and will always follow your care instructions to the letter, including feeding, routines, and any special needs or quirks.
About: • Feed and entertain a variety of pets. • Walk dogs for exercise and companionship. • Communicate with pet owners to understand their concerns. • Record animal information, such as dietary intake and treatments. • Grooming dog breeds as needed. • I also have experience with intensive care and disabled dogs. (Our sweet fur baby, Miracle, got sick from a tick when we were traveling and developed a brain infection. She was paralized and blind for 3 months! Thankfully, with the help of our vet and our intensive care provided at home, she is still slightly blind but she has made a full recovery!) I am available nearly all the time. The only exception would be when we are visiting our family that lives out of state. This is usually in July and December! We have 7 children who are use to being around a variety of animals all the time. I have three friendly dogs and three friendly cats. I also have chickens and goats that are in their own fennced area. I can crate your dog and administor medications if needed.
About: I managed an upscale Dog and Cat boarding for over eight years. I have experience grooming, training, administering medication/shots, obedience training, playtime, walks, feeding, scooping poop, etc. I’ve been a dog owner of many different breeds for over 35 years. My husband and I own a DOG FRIENDLY Airbnb in Wisconsin. You know I am obsessed with my dogs and other people’s dogs because when you look at my photos on my phone it’s all dog pictures. love all dog breeds and enjoy spending quality time with dogs. Dogs are my soulmates. I am retired and my schedule is very flexible. I am available to stop by for daily walking, playtime, feeding, cuddles, administering medication, and much more. I enjoy long walks, cuddling dogs, play-time, and making your dog feel loved. Safety is my priority with the care of your dog. I will care for your dog as I would care for my own dogs- love, caring and special bonding.
About: Hello! I have been taking care of my neighbors dogs for 3 years now and I like to ensure they are cared for and happy! Whatever the owner wants I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pets. I am great at listening to small details to make sure that your fur baby has an amazing experience! I am a full time rover sitter so I am free the whole rest of the day for walks, baths and giving your pet my absolute full attention!

I’m very down to earth and will work with all sorts of crazy schedules or last minute needs, I know what it’s like to be busy busy. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats throughout my teens and into adulthood, special needs included. I love all the dogs and cats possible, big or small, fuzzy or fluffy.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs. I have limited experience with snakes. I'm not afraid of spiders or bugs. I'm currently working full-time as a legal assistant, so I'm usually only available during the evenings and weekends. I'm usually home from work at around 6 pm and am available until 9 pm during the week. Fridays and Saturdays are generally open unless I have prior obligations. I don't work on Sundays. I can only pet sit at a clients home due to having 2 cats of my own. I go by whatever rules/guidelines they specifically have for me.
“We’re so happy with the care our dog received! Celeste took him out twice a day, made sure he had water, played ball with him, and gave him plenty of attention. It’s clear our pup was in great hands!”

About: I have had dogs and cared for them since early childhood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have a fondness for senior pups and I am a pro at giving medications as my Dalmatian has taken something for the past 14 years. All pups are welcome on beds and furniture and we love to snuggle 🤗 Everyone has always told me that when they die that they really wanna come back to be my dog ♥️ I work Monday - Friday from 8-4:30 but I do get 1 hour for lunch to come home to check on pups and play. They also have access to a doggie door and an outside fence. However if you would prefer for them not to be outside unattended, I can close it off while I am at work. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly fur babies of my own. We have a doggie door top. I am able to crate your dog or have it free while I am gone to work - your preference. I am home in the evenings and night.
About: I have grown up around all types of pets. In my childhood I rescued multiple dogs and our family rescued many, many, cats! I am very loving and caring and I treat every pet as it is my own. I like to first get to know them to see if I’d even be a good match for your pawesome friend! I have trained some dogs as puppies, taught them the basics as well as potty trained them. I am very flexible with my availability! I would love to get to know your furry friend and be apart of their world♥️ I’m currently looking for some side gigs to fill up my time.. I couldn’t think of a more awesome way to do it than to be around pets! Making your pets comfortable and happy is my top priority! I like to let animals be animals and do what they like to do. Caring for pets has always been one of my favorite things to do. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t own a pet.
About: I've taken care of families and friends dogs for as long as I can remember. I started helping out with my own pets from the second I could walk. I love playing and taking care of all ages of dogs! I work full time doing 3-4 twelve hour shifts a week and am off weekends! I would love to do super early morning visits and am free in the evenings. Helping people give their pets the best care possible brightens my day! I do not have a fence but I have a big yard and a neighborhood that is super good for long walks! My house is pretty big so pets have lots of space.
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later. I have two Mainecoon cats myself that I consider part of the family. I've taught the older one how to play fetch with bottle caps and socks and both cats also come when I call their name! I've walked dogs and house sit cats and dogs for neighbors, friends and family for years. I welcome all dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. For my personal animals, I work 8 hours but take care of my animals at all times besides that! Morning/nightly feeds, constant potty breaks. For clients, I'm available Friday-Sunday all day. The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!
About: I’ve taken care of my own fur baby for the past 10 years and have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their own fur babies. I know the attention and care our fur babies deserve by everyone. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment which allows me the flexibility to take care of your fur baby as needed. I am available weekdays and some weekends as well. I myself have a dog who is very anxious and scared of other dogs and people so I know how to handle certain dogs with special attention.
