Megan was super accommodating and helpful in continuing my dog’s physical therapy after his recent surgery. On first meet up my dog overwhelmingly responded positively to her and absolutely loved her company. There were several tasks I asked her to complete to continue his PT and she did all of them with no issues. Needless to say, she has been a life saver ??????

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.

Tania took EXCELLENT care of our 2 kitties for a week. This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience. She communicated with us regularly, sent so many pictures. Even our shy cat warmed up immediately to Tania, so she’s talented at making pets feel same and comfortable quickly!

Gavin took wonderful care of our cat! He came highly recommended from another sitter and was prompt, communicative, and our cat loved him. We really appreciated the time Gavin spent playing with our cat and keeping him company, and we would book Gavin again without question. Thank you!

I'm new to Rover and was wary about using this service. I'm so glad I did because Alissa made my experience so amazing. Alissa followed the care instructions and really put my mind at ease with sending pictures of the dogs. I highly recommend Alissa for those needing care for their animals and I will be rebooking with her in the future!

About: Hi! I’m Emma — dog mom of 3, lifelong dog lover, and small-dog boarding specialist in Wilmington, NC. I have three friendly small dogs of my own (Cavaliers + a Cocker Spaniel), so your pup will always have built-in friends, supervised playtime, and a home-based environment instead of an overcrowded kennel. Taking care of dogs is just part of my everyday life! I work from home, so I’m with my dogs pretty much all day. We keep a regular routine of potty breaks, playtime, and light training throughout the day. On weekends, we love to switch things up with a hike, a beach stroll, or grabbing a pup cup at our favorite coffee spot. Whether it’s a chill day at home or an adventure, I’m always focused on making sure the dogs in my care are happy, safe, and well-loved. Located in a safe, quiet Scotts Hill neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard for playtime. I only board 1-2 dogs at a time, so your pup will always get personal attention and care. They have the option to have their own cozy suite or stay in the same room as our resident pups, both with comfy bedding, toys, and all the essentials. Please note all pets are crated when unsupervised and overnight. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog feels right at home!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently working part time, so there is plenty of time to play! I am available Most days for walks, stopping by, or boarding. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure the environment stays clean and safe by securing doors and gates, keeping food and water areas tidy, and removing any potential hazards. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my approach—whether that means energetic play, calm companionship, or giving them space. I always provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a 2 minute walk to two different dog parks, and a large area to run around in, or a safe comfortable environment without other pets or kids to be the home away from home.
