I am so glad to have found Yule through Rover! My Mollie girl is getting up there in age and needs a little extra care. Yule followed all of our routine with ease and loved on her ❤️ We all felt right at ease. Will definitely be working with Yule again when we need extra help! 10/10

Lauren is great! We had a mixup on the first morning time but she honestly apologized. She came each time requested other than that morning and was awesome with my 3 dogs. My dogs are not the easiest to take care of (I have a 17 year old blind one who wears diapers) but Lauren was a champ and cleaned up messes. I will use her again for my next trip.

Roanoke Rapids, NC, 27870

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed simply being in their presence! I adore teaching old and young dogs new tricks and give exceptional care and cater to each individual pet! I also provide additional services such as bathing during the stay! I currently work part time at Ace Hardware. I am looking for a side hustle and have plenty of time to cater to your pet! I have other dogs so I do not offer pets in my home, but I offer exceptional care to dogs in your own home! I can easily put them in a crate as well as feeding them on time and taking them out to potty as needed! I will also spend lots of time with them as I very much enjoy being around animals. I have basic vet knowledge as well and can tell when something is wrong!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since i was a baby! They have always been my bestfriend! I currently have 1 dog (a golden retriever) and 2 cats. And I’ve house sat for many many fiends for long periods of time. In my eyes i don’t see them as just animals but another member to the family. And that’s how i would treat your fur babies! You should feel comfortable leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else when life becomes busy or you just need to get away. and i promise I will give your babies all the love and attention they deserve! I work weekdays but i get off early almost everyday with very flexible hours and I’m off every weekend. My work schedule is pretty flexible. I have loads of free time! I have a fenced in yards. My dog is an inside dog (the house belongs to her lol) i have 2 cats that wants to sit on everyone lap. My dog has full access to the house when I’m home and only the downstairs when I’m gone. The cats roam the house as they please but they love to be by my side more than anything! My dog spends so much time outside playing and gets a long walk every day!
