About: Hello! I'm Coryne, and I'm a student mental health therapist and a huge animal lover! I grew up around all sorts of animals, from cats and dogs, to horses and parrots. While I’m in school, I always find myself wanting more animal time, and I am always happy to meet new pets and help out their hard working parents! I know what it's like to be a dog parent that sometimes needs some extra help! I have plenty of personal and professional experience taking care of mainly dogs, cats, and horses, and I do have some experience with bunnies and birds. I’ve also worked in shelters, doggy daycares, and horse barns! With all of these animals, I have vast experience in many methods of care, including feeding and medicating. With the experience I gained over my life, I have become very familiar with animals of many kinds and needs. I am thrilled at the idea of meeting new furry friends and offering the care and attention they need! I could not think of any better way to fill my time between my classes and internship. I hope to offer just as much love and care to your pet as you would yourself! **PLEASE READ** My real availability may vary slightly than what is seen on this calendar, so to make this easier on you, here are the times and days I am most likely available: MONDAY: Mornings: 6AM-8AM Afternoons: 3PM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-10PM TUESDAY: Mornings: 6AM-7AM Afternoons: NONE Evenings: 7PM-10PM WEDNESDAY: Mornings: 6AM-9AM Afternoons: 1PM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-10PM THURSDAY: Mornings: 6AM-11AM Afternoons: 11AM-3PM Evenings: Biweekly class, sometimes NO availability FRIDAY: Mornings: 10-11AM Afternoons: 11AM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-6PM I take safety and security very seriously and I will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and cats for about 4 years. My grandma has always had a dog who I loved to take on walks, feed and give lots of cuddles. I own a cat who I love to play with, cuddle and lay around the house with. I only work 4 days of the week 9-5, so I have ample time to pet sit, drop in for care or go for walks! I treat every pet with love as if they are my own and make sure to give them everything they need. Their happiness is very important to me

About: Growing up in Michigan, I have had ample experience with caring for pets (not just dogs, but goats, cats and chickens too!). Since earlier childhood, I have had dogs including and most recently had two beautiful and hilarious bulldogs. I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family back in Michigan. I have had experience with Rover as me and my sister for two years pet sat for several families in the Chicago area. I currently work during the week but am home in the early afternoon. I'm typically home all weekend which lends itself to being able to give dogs the attention, cuddles and care they need. I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park and personally love to walk, therefore can walk as much as your pet needs.

About: I have a lot of experience working with dogs. I have cared for young and old dogs - small and big dogs. I also have experience caring for cats. I love to interact with and care for animals.

My commitment to fostering strong bonds and creating positive, memorable interactions sets me apart as a compassionate and trusted caregiver at Rover. I am retired and looking for walking activities to keep me busy with the things I enjoy the most, PETS!! I love being around them as much as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, well-being, and adherence to any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Here’s how I approach different pet care services: Dog Sitting: Daily Routine: I maintain the dog's regular feeding schedule, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times.

About: I've always had a love for animals especially growing up with a parent who worked in the veterinary medicine field. I've pet sat for many friends and family throughout my life but mostly throughout high-school and college I would be asked to take car of their animals while they were going out of town or on vacation. I currently have full availability right now due to this being a slower season in my career! I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve whether it's 1 walk a day or around the clock care. I'm very good at following routines and schedules that you have set while adding in all the love and belly rubs that I can to make them a little less lonely while you are away. If they get along well with other dogs then I have a dog at home who loves playing and would love to spend time with them during the time.

About: I have been taking care of animals for probably about 6 years now. I became a certified dog groomer, have been doing private pet sitting, and dog walking in that time. To summarize, I just really enjoy animals in general and would love to meet yours! I am currently looking for jobs. I have so much time on my hands. What better way to spend it than loving on your fur baby! I have lots of room to run and play outside. A big yard with lots of trees! We will play fetch and tug of war together.

About: My family has animals and I have spent 9 years helping take care of their dogs and two cats. I have two dogs of my own and I have trained them myself as well as knowing when they need space, fed, or walked. Currently i don't work so i am free any day and anytime to be able to watch your animal. Animals are my best friend and I know they are yours too! I feed my animals twice a day based on their needs. I walk my animals 4 times a day or 3 times day depending on the day. I also help my family with their animals and have been for 9 years

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats from a very young age. My family has always had pets which taught me how to properly care for them.

About: Hi! I’m Jordan 🐾 I’m a huge animal lover and proud cat mom to Molly (a very spoiled orange tabby who definitely thinks she’s in charge). I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have spent years pet sitting for friends and family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own space. Whether your pet is playful, shy, high-energy, or just wants to cuddle, I’m great at adapting to their vibe. I offer drop-ins, walks, and in-home care, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely love what I do. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend 🤍 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, allowing me to provide attentive, on-time care, regular check-ins, and flexible availability for each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping your home clean and respecting your space at all times.

About: I’m a 20-year-old college athlete currently playing volleyball at Gardner-Webb University. I’ve been taking care of dogs for several years and have experience with breeds ranging from French Bulldogs to medium-sized mixed breeds. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs—whether it’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just hanging out together. As a student-athlete with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets—especially for walks, drop-ins, or weekend boarding. I’m usually available weekdays after 10 AM and most weekends. I make sure to plan around your pet’s needs and routines, so they always feel cared for and comfortable. I live in Statesville and offer pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I always prioritize safety and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and healthy. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and committed to treating your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

“Elizabeth had been absolutely fantastic taking care of Tater! He can be a difficult dog to deal with and she’s handled him with excellent grace. I will absolutely book her as often as she’s available!”
