Kaylee is awesome! She responds quickly, is very flexible with scheduling, and most importantly, my dog Hazel absolutely loves her! I highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for a friendly and professional Rover.

Sasha is a great Rover walker and I highly recommend her services to anyone! My dog Hazel is very shy with everyone she meets, but she immediately took a liking to Sasha and now every time she comes by to take Hazel on a walk, Hazel looks ecstatic in every picture that Sasha sends me from the walks. It makes me happy to know that my dog is in good hands while I'm away during the day, so I highly recommend booking her for any of your pet needs.

About: I have a family dog that I helped train. We got her in 2020, and I had a dog before her. I would dog sit for my neighbors back home all through high school. I current complete research from home. I am in school until the end of April, but after that I will be home all day available to be home with your pets! When I am in school, I have class from 8am - 12pm each day. I have a fenced area near my town home. I also have a 3 story house for playing inside. I go on walks very often and would take the dog if that is allowed. Your dog would definitely get exercise with me if that is something you’d be looking for!

About: I have always loved dogs growing up. i have experience with dogs of all breeds- from German Shepards to Pit Bulls to Maltese and Yorkies! I’ve sat in my own home and have done home visits and drop-ins alike. Have experience sitting for dogs with seizures as well. I do Rover full time so I am always with the dogs. When I step out for a period of time, it’s almost always under 4 hours. I do prefer to stay at home most times. I’ll be certain they are getting THE MOST loving. Your dogs will be my number one priority while they are here with me. Dogs are such an important part of our lives. They will get plenty of attention/breaks etc, keeping water out and food accordingly. Your dogs can have the option of sleeping wherever in my home; I have plenty of blankets and pillows around. Whether your doggo wants to stay in the bedroom at night, sleep in their own kennel, or even in their own space (private room with bed & ac & ceiling fan), I want all animals and humans alike to always feel cozy and comfortable here.

About: Ive always loved animals, I was practically raised around them. I have two amazing, playful, and loving cats; Mittens who is my oldest and Lady our baby with only a couple months old whom was named by my little girls (eight and seven years old). I also have a little boy, he's three years old but don't worry he loves animals just as much as I do and I can assure you he Is very gentle and patient with them as if it was a newborn baby! Even though we don't own any dogs, we absolutely love playing and cuddling them! **HABLO ESPAÑOL** I am a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. My kids are home schooled so we can definitely work just about any hour of the day! My cats are really friendly but most times unaware of other pets company. Thats nothing to worry about though, as my kids and myself will make sure your fur-babies always get the attention they deserve.

About: I work for a university and have a position that allows me to work remotely from home. As a result, I am lucky to spend my days with my very spoiled Boxer, Woody. I have a large back yard and take my puppy for walks every evening. I have been a volunteer in a tri-state Boxer rescue for almost 15 years and have been active in training Boxers for more than two decades. I have excellent references, both from current and former law enforcement officers as well as persons active in rescue. I am close to the Animal Emergency Vet. if you have a dog with special concerns and one of my friends is an awesome vet! You won't find a more loving home than mine. Please feel free to call and we can arrange a pre-meeting if you feel more comfortable. Dogs will have constant access to the outdoors, via a dog door. We treat dogs like family. My own vet used to leave her pit with me when he was going through chemo, so you know I’m trusted. Note: It is preferred to have at least one day board prior to long term stays. This ensures that your baby is comfortable and feels safe in my care. I find that fur babies feel more confident and less anxious if they have been introduced to us and our environment before being left long term. Reach out for a meet and greet and we can see what's best for you and your dog(s). I always want to do what's in the best interest of each pup. 💕 I work from home and am here all day. If you prefer care in your home, I can work from your home and just require working and consistent internet. I work from home, as does my better half, an engineer. Your dog would have two loving companions while in our home. We also own a wonderful Boxer who loves every dog he meets and has zero dominance or aggression. If you prefer me to come to your home, I can arrange that, as well.

About: My name is Grace and I am 23 years old. I just graduated N.C. State University, majoring in Psychology and Biology. I am currently in grad school for Occupational Therapy. I have always loved all animals growing up and have been pet sitting since around 10 years old. I have done various sorts of petsitting from weeks of overnight stays to just swinging by the house to play with the dogs and take them out/feed them. I am super flexible and will work with your needs! I have many years of babysitting under my belt too, as I am very responsible and will never let you down. I am currently a student with classes Monday-Thursday but have some flexibility around times, days, etc. so just let me know what you need and I will accommodate! I also volunteer at the animal shelter, so I have a lot of experience with different kind of dogs. Your pups will be loved, cared for and pampered when I watch them. I am reliable and just have a genuine love for animals, especially dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals :) I have class Monday-Thursday usually around 8:30-4pm, but have time for lunch to come by if your pups need extra breaks. My weekends are usually free, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs! I love to spend time with all pups and it’s very important to me that your dogs get the care that you would get from yourselves! I treat all dogs as my own and love to spoil them.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—growing up, we had several different breeds, and I was always the one eager to feed them, walk them, and give them all the love and attention they deserved. I understand how to care for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m comfortable handling everything from feeding and potty breaks to long walks and playtime. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m working nights right now, so throughout the day I’m available for any pet sitting needs. I’m available from 7am, and 10pm is the cutoff. Thursday and Fridays are my off days, and I’ll have plenty of free time. I take safety and trust very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours. I always follow any instructions closely, keep pets on their usual routine, and make sure they’re comfortable, well-fed, and loved. I double-check gates, doors, and leashes, and I keep a calm, respectful environment so your pets feel safe and secure. Cleanliness is important to me too—I make sure food and water bowls, litter boxes, and living spaces stay tidy and fresh. You can trust that your pets will be in good hands, cared for like they’re my own.

About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.

About: I have grown up with pets since I was born. Mainly dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own; a 5 yr old female Australian Shepard, and a 4 yr old male German Shepard/Great Pyrenees. They keep me on my toes lol. I have also cared for friends, neighbors, and people from Facebook’s dogs. Also love cats! I work from home and have weekends off. This gives me plenty of time throughout each day to go take someone’s sweet pup on a walk or to just drop-in and check on them. I will care for a pet as if it was my own. In my home I have my dogs crate trained and have a fenced in backyard for potty breaks and playtime. I will make sure an honor any specific routine or rules you may have for your pet or your house.

Given that Catherine and I grew up together, I would be the first to know how caring and loving she is with dogs. She was always the one to volunteer to take the dogs on walks and took the feeding chores any day of the week. I am completely confident that she would take the best care of any dogs, and you will definitely come home to lots of pictures of your furry friends to look at. She is one of the most caring humans I know, and I am certain she will have all dogs in great hands.

I have been a volunteer in a tri-state Boxer rescue for almost 15 years and have been active in training Boxers for more than two decades. I have excellent references, both from current and former law enforcement officers as well as persons active in rescue. I am close to the Animal Emergency Vet. if you have a dog with special concerns and one of my friends is an awesome vet! You won't find a more loving home than mine. Please feel free to call and we can arrange a pre-meeting if you feel more comfortable. Dogs will have constant access to the outdoors, via a dog door. We treat dogs like family. My own vet used to leave her pit with me when he was going through chemo, so you know I’m trusted. Note: It is preferred to have at least one day board prior to long term stays. This ensures that your baby is comfortable and feels safe in my care. I find that fur babies feel more confident and less anxious if they have been introduced to us and our environment before being left long term. Reach out for a meet and greet and we can see what's best for you and your dog(s). I always want to do what's in the best interest of each pup. 💕 I work from home and am here all day. If you prefer care in your home, I can work from your home and just require working and consistent internet. I work from home, as does my better half, an engineer. Your dog would have two loving companions while in our home. We also own a wonderful Boxer who loves every dog he meets and has zero dominance or aggression. If you prefer me to come to your home, I can arrange that, as well.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—growing up, we had several different breeds, and I was always the one eager to feed them, walk them, and give them all the love and attention they deserved. I understand how to care for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m comfortable handling everything from feeding and potty breaks to long walks and playtime. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m working nights right now, so throughout the day I’m available for any pet sitting needs. I’m available from 7am, and 10pm is the cutoff. Thursday and Fridays are my off days, and I’ll have plenty of free time. I take safety and trust very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours. I always follow any instructions closely, keep pets on their usual routine, and make sure they’re comfortable, well-fed, and loved. I double-check gates, doors, and leashes, and I keep a calm, respectful environment so your pets feel safe and secure. Cleanliness is important to me too—I make sure food and water bowls, litter boxes, and living spaces stay tidy and fresh. You can trust that your pets will be in good hands, cared for like they’re my own.

About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.

Montana is amazing with all furry friends! She has three dogs and a cat of her own, and keeps them all on a great schedule of feeding, walking, and play time. Her level of love and attention she gives to all animals directly shows how much she cares. I have trusted her with my own fur child many times, and can always count on her to give the best care!!

Let me start by saying Tommy responded to my post very quickly. I had to find someone last minute to walk my 2 fur babies. She is responsive which I love the most using this type of service. She handled both fur babies very well, sent videos, and pics. I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her services again.
