“We always appreciate Stephanie’s drop ins! Our pups love her visits, she sends the best pictures and I always know they get top notch care and are played out by the end of their visit!”

“Kelly shows up on time, obviously loves dogs and my dog loves her too. I appreciates the time & attention she gives, and the photos. I'll continue to book with her as much as I can.”

“I keep Lauren on speed dial to be my pet sitter. Her compassion for my animals has been such a blessing. Communication is outstanding and brings peace to me knowing my little buddies are safe and cared for.”


About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cats! She even swept up litter and cleaned up puke which was so appreciated. She took lots of photos and sent detailed updates which is great to have when you’re away from your pets for a few days.”

About: I have always had a connection with animals. I wasn't able to get my first pet until I was 10 and it was a guinea pig...fast forward 22 years and that connection and passion for animals has not changed. I worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years including school, most of which was in Maine. I no longer work as a technician but still love to fill my time with taking care of people's pets. I currently have a pretty open schedule. The only reason I would not be able to do certain days would be due to medical appointments or family obligations. When I care for your pet I will be able to spend as much time playing, walking, relaxing. Whatever you and they may want or need. I am able to give medication including insulin and fluids.
“Sydney was great! Checked in on Mooshie at the last minute and really gave me peace of mind. I can tell from the pictures that Mooshie loved the attention and affection Sydney provided. <3”

“Jill was amazing. Her communication prior to and during her visits were great. She flawlessly dealt with some unexpected issues with our puppy (an accident and several escapes from the pen😂) and even helped out with our cat who was supposed to be taken care of by a neighbor. Highly recommend her.”

“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”

About: I’m 19 and have experience with 3 of my dogs who are all very different! I’ve been a pet sitter and walked my neighbors dogs as well as volunteering at a shelter in the past. I’m currently a college student so only have a couple in person classes a day so I’m pretty flexible! I also have a part time job mostly at night but they are short shifts so I can work around that. I have worked with dogs at homes who have a fenced in yard as well as open yards. My house is also currently fenced in!

About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!

About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!
About: As a passionate dog owner of my Ellie. I’m fully committed to bringing personalized care, ensuring dogs feel safe and happy. Every dog deserves to feel loved! I’m currently working part-time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pup! I can easily accommodate what will work for for you ! I provide a safe, loving environment with a fence yard. I can absolutely ensure pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise that will keep them happy!
About: I'm a dedicated and passionate Certified Veterinary Technician, who received her license in 2023. I have background in both general practice and emergency medicine. Currently exploring a new change of pace out of the clinic. I've had many pets over the years, all whom I have loved dearly. However, my love for animals all started when I was just a little kid, when my parents adopted my 4-legged, golden retriever best friend. She changed my life forever. From then on, I wanted to help change others' lives and their pets' lives for the better. My compassion for animals has only blossomed since. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science from an AVMA accredited college - Wilson College. There, I majored in Veterinary Medical Technology and double minored in Animal Studies and Biology. I also worked in our on-campus kennels, providing exceptional care for dogs, cats, birds, and laboratory animals during my Junior and Senior years. I am so excited and prepared to care diligently for you fur babies! I am currently taking a hiatus from traditional employment to focus on personal growth goals. I am available everyday, Monday-Sunday, at any time of day to meet your pet care needs! I will gladly be of service for drop-in’s, dog walking, cat care, or overnight stays (duration x 1 week). I will only be offering pet sitting at your home, where I will keep a watchful eye on your pooch/kitty throughout my stay, providing a trustful companion for them while you're away. I can easily crate any dog/cat if necessary. I will ensure that the environment is kept clean and organized for your return. If any pet needs medication administered, it will be done with a fear-free approach and complete accuracy.

Goldsboro pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren has cared for my furry friends multiple times, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is always respectful of our home and incredibly compassionate with our cats. Her communication is excellent both before and during each visit, and I truly appreciate the thoughtful notes and adorable pictures she sends. They provide peace of mind while we’re away. I always feel confident that my babies are safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care in her hands.

Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of my older cat while I was on a trip for a few days. It was an absolutely perfect experience and she sent very detailed updates and magazine-quality photos. When I arrived home and opened the door, I almost felt that my cat was maybe a little disappointed I wasn't Stephanie coming to play. I definitely recommend her without any reservation.
