About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.

“Jennifer did such a good job caring for my cat daily while I was away for the holidays. Great communication, gave updates, and did all the things I asked. Highly recommend her!”
About: Its not rocket science. I love animals and provide a lot of petting and physical love, and physical activity compared to the other pretenders. Grew up in Sweden, army veteran. When dogsitting I have a hobby, I play bridge at city hall in cornelius, so sometimes id be away for as much a 4.5 hrs. I can also not play... I can't have a pet at my place save for a few minutes. All I can say is, I'll play with your dogs more than ladies do!
About: I’ve always been around animals and have grown up caring for pets of my own, along with helping family and friends take care of their pets while they’re out of town. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and feel like I naturally connect well with them. I’m very responsible and always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so my schedule is very free and flexible! Besides a few summer classes during the week, I have a lot of open availability throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting, check-ins, or walk-ins anytime between 9 AM to 5 PM and I am happy to work with specific times if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they are comfortable and keep them on their routine. I love making sure that they stay active by being outside and taking them for walks making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, cared for properly, and feel comfortable while their owners are away by spending quality time with them, playing with them, and giving them love and attention.

“Stephanie is such a great person to have watch over animals. She watches my 2 cat babies and sent pictures detailed notes and cleaned all the kitty messes they made while I was away. I highly recommend her for pet sitting needs.”

“Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.”

“Awesome communication and the photos she sent were the highlight of our trip! She really got to know our pets and their routines. She did great walks with our doggy too! If she’s available, book her immediately, you (and your pets) will be super happy!”

“I have to admit that I am one of those people who are very particular with “my girls” and who takes care of them. Katy without a doubt is one of the most considerate & caring person to take care of anyone’s fur baby. She cared for them as I do. I had broke my ankle and she was right there to help with them no matter what that entailed with communication to boot every step of the way. She showed so much love to them which made my heart smile. I would trust her hands down with my fur babies to do what needs to be done. Katy is one of a million in my book!”

Cornelius dog parents share their Rover experiences
Skyler was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was phenomenal from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She took such incredible care of Cash and Presley—keeping them active, happy, and clearly so well loved. Her photos were awesome - I really enjoyed seeing our boys have so much fun. We’re so thankful to have found another trusted sitter for our boys and will absolutely be booking with Skyler again. Highly, highly recommend!

Marcia rescued us. We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Marcia came through! Our pups really liked her. We received pics of our dogs with every visit along with an update on their behavior. We were really relieved to have our babes in such capable hands.

Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.
