House Sitting in Haw River

“Elena is very gentle and calm with our elderly dog with severe separation anxiety. Yet, our younger, playful, enthusiastic dog is very happy with her, as well. She is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs, and prompt and responsible. Thank you to Elena for taking such good care of our pups! We will definitely hire her again!”

“My two dogs were so well cared for and we were able to relax on vacation. Jennifer did a fantastic job communicating and she really loves pets!”

“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”

“Ty so much! We appreciate you😊”

“Patricia watch our two dogs Dora and Spark for over a week. This was the first time we had Patricia as our house/dog sitter and we will definitely request her services again. Patricia sent us pictures and kept us updated about the dogs. She promptly answered any of my emails and contacted us if she had any questions. Patricia also watered plants, feed the fish, and picked up the mail. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. I highly recommend Patricia.”

“Susan was amazing with our animals. She was so communicative and sent us pictures and updates everyday. Our four pets were well taken care of for the week. This is the first time my wife and I had to both travel for work at the same time. Susan took the job last minute and bonded with all the animals right away. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

“Destini was so kind to the pets. She took great care of them and the house as well. Gave good feedback and I did not have to worry about it at all, which was wonderful!”

“Daysi house sat for my 2 dogs for 2 days and did a wonderful job! She was great during the meet and greet and took the time to listen about things about the dogs personalities and routines. She did a great job with the dogs and I would have her back again!”

About: I absolutely adore all animals!! I have two dogs of my own and 5 in total at my family home, I am constantly around animals and helped raise them from puppies. I love walking and would be happy to play and exercise your pets or just love on them and give them cuddles whatever they need to be happy and healthy!! I’m happy to provide other house chores such as watering plants, and taking garbage out if need be😊 I have spare time in my day as I’m in school for animal management as a career. I will be actively learning more to care better for your animals! I am very open to meet and greets to make sure I’m a good fit for your family and I promise to treat your space with the upmost respect, I understand fully the amount of trust you need in someone to let them care for your baby and I am fully prepared to create a clean and happy environment for your pet to thrive. I hope to make you and your fur baby happy and comfortable:)

“Pilar was wonderful with our two pups! We returned home to a clean house and happy dogs. She provided updates and photos/videos while we were away.”

Danielle S.

“Tammi is an excellent pet sitter! I will definitely ask her to come again. She was very attentive to Sunny and sent me daily updates while we were away for a long Memorial Day weekend at the beach. I felt very comfortable having Tammi in my home and know Sunny was very well cared for and she left my hone in better condition than when she arrived! Thanks for taking such good care of my dog and our home. I really appreciate all the love and attention for Sunny!”

About: I've been working with dogs since childhood - my parents raised Pekingese & Dobermans. Even at 8 years old, I helped mama dogs birth their pups. My schoolmates thought it was gross, most adults thought it was weird, but I thought it was super cool to be a part of bringing life into the world through adorable little squeaking pups. Even though we were very ethical & loving with our pups, many backyard breeders are not, so I no longer agree with that. But as an adult, I fell in love with rescues & adopted a few over the years. Then I decided I wanted to be more involved with Rescues. So... I became a Foster Parent, assisted Black Dog Rescue, & was an integral part of Cooper's Companions Animal Rescue in Colorado before moving to NC. I usually ended up fostering unadoptable dogs & working with them extensively until they became adoptable. Then followed up with their new pet parents to help ensure success & making it stick. My specialty is working with fearful dogs, teaching pet owners how to get the behavior they want from their pet, leash training, & training dogs to walk on a treadmill. We have 2 little dogs who had a big 'sister' for many years, so all size dogs are welcome; Both of our pups are super dog-friendly. One of them loves to play with other dogs, and the other will play sometimes, but can be a bit of a snob. We want all dogs to enjoy staying with us, but... we won't tolerate a 'truly' aggressive dog in our home. My dogs don't attack other dogs, so should either of my dogs be attacked or if a human is bitten, the offender will be separated & crated inside, or placed in our separately fenced kennel area outside (only if you prefer) for the remainder of their stay. Any issues will be discussed with the dog owner to establish their preference in this regard. Otherwise, we'll shower your fur baby with love & attention so you won't have to worry about them when you're away. Please note: ***We will only board dogs which are spayed or neutered.*** If they are not spayed/neutered, we will be happy to do drop in or house-sitting care, but we will not be able to host in our own home. --- Must have a 3 day notice for care requests, as I require a meetup with dogs & their owners before actually accepting a booking. If you are unable to do this, I'm unable to take care of your fur babies. --- I work from home, so my availability is fairly open unless we're on vacation or if in the event that I have to go on a business trip. _____________________________________________________________________________ *** Important Note*** Doggie Day Care is for "up to 9 hours" each stay. If you need care for more than 9 hours, please schedule it as a boarding. Just let me know it's for an extended hours stay in a message. Otherwise, for requested stays exceeding 9 hours, I will send you a modification request changing it from 'day care' to the status of 'boarding' which costs more. If I have to send you a modification request & you don't want to pay a boarding fee for time exceeding 9 hours, you may choose to decline the change & it will never actually be booked with me. However, in this instance, you will need to find another sitter. Thank you for understanding... We have a fenced in yard for your pup to play in. The previous home owners put in a separate fenced kennel, so that's an available option in case you prefer your dog to be separated. It's unusual, but some people do prefer that. We almost never use it, though.

“Kathy is wonderful! She is very dependable and spends extra time with our dogs. She does everything according to our wishes! We are very happy and feel confident having her watch our dogs!!”

Irene S.

“We absolutely love Amy! Honestly, we were far away from home and are pretty sure our dogs were sad when she left and disappointed to see us. She gives expert walks, did bath time - which is a total circus, and even cleaned some of our muddy blankets. I will call Amy anytime we leave! She’s the absolute best.”

About: I have many years of experience with working with animals - whether its with my own or in a professional setting. I am not limited to the animals I can care for. I have worked for a boarding/doggie day care for 2+ years that required me to take care of all different sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have 3 fur babies myself - Penelope, Bear, and Chewbacca ( AKA Chewy) So, I can assure you the best care for your fur baby! My availability would be in the morning before 7:00am and the evening time after 5:00 pm I currently have a full-time job but do plan on doing Rover/Pet Sitting full-time in the near future! So stay tuned!! To ensure the safety of your fur baby- If they are at my home I have a designated area in my home with a dog gate that can separate your fur baby from mine if needed. Also, ask for all Vet info - just to have on file.

“Amy communicated wonderfully to make sure we knew our fur babies were doing well! She did a great job! They loved her and enjoyed having her here with them.”

“Heidi was five minutes early for both the meet and greet and the actual house sitting booking. Finn had a great time with her, and I was very happy with how she cared for him. I received lots of updates and photos. We will not hesitate to book her again!”

Angela M.

“Sara was a lifesaver! She helped house sit our two greyhounds and a guinea pig on short notice, salvaging a family vacation. She was responsive while we were away and when we got home, everything was as we left it and it was clear the dogs (and pig) had been exceptionally well cared for. We'll definitely be requesting her services in the future.”

Lindy F.

“Enjoyed having Reagan come sit with our furbabies for Christmas Day. She was able to keep them happy and content while we were able to spend quality time with family and friends. We hope to have her come over again soon!”

About: I have a big back yard for your doggo to run around in! As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to keep your puppy busy. I give great belly rubs and I know how to throw the ball around for some fun! I’m a college student who is home full time currently and would love to play with your doggo! I’ve been dog sitting for a very long time. I know how dogs get lonely and need a friend to play with! I’m super excited to get to know your little fur ball and have some fun! I can’t wait to take care of your dog and take him or her for walks and some fun in the backyard! Thank you!
