About: I live on a 14-acre property with vinyl horse fencing that has been reinforced with fence wire to contain dogs securely. We have two fully fenced fields, each about 70 yards x 50 yards. One field has agility equipment. Boarders and day care dogs will be able to interact with the agility equipment, if time allows and dog is comfortable. The other field is used mainly for disc dog practice and competitions, but is also great for general play. We have a stream running along the back of our property. We have 2 dog runs outside for outdoor relaxation when we are not doing activities. I have dog training certifications with Karen Pryor Academy and Animal Behavior College. I prefer to interact with dogs using positive reinforcement, treats and praise. I have been involved with dog sport training since 2008. We currently have 7 small dogs, all actively involved in dog sports, including flyball, disc, agility, barn hunt and tricks. Our females are intact and 2 males are intact.

“Emory did a great job with Ella and communicating with me. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future .”

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. From a young child to current day, I've always had a pet in my life. I have cared for outdoor dogs, indoor dogs, fish, and snakes. I've also cared for and been around most ages of dogs from 8 week puppies to elderly companions. I love spending time outdoors with them, sunshine, snow, pools, treks, mud, or wherever. My two kids are in school so I'll have plenty of time for your pet. My kids are comfortable around pets so even after school, I'm still available for care. I'm also available to board any day or night of the week. I'm close to parks and Pilot Mountain trails. I have plenty of backyard space for you pet to run and even a ramp entrance for pets with mobile difficulties. I have a backyard space for healthy walking/running. I have plenty of toys to keep your pet active and cushions for relaxing. I have a crate available if needed. I also have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. My dog is allowed on all the furniture in the house and yours is welcome to join in for cuddles.

About: I have two dogs personally and have been a dog sitting for friends & family for many years. Whether your pet needs structured playtime, quiet companionship, or a little help getting around, I’ve got it covered! I work full time from home so I am always home to help with whatever your dog needs may be. I take my personal dogs on multiple walks per day during my breaks and will be happy to provide the same care for your dogs. I have a back deck with a gate that is completely closed in that my dogs personally LOVE! We sit out there and sunbathe and watch the birds. I also take them on multiple walks per day to make sure we are getting plenty of exercise. In the evenings and on weekends we like to venture out for a hike or go to the local dog park.

About: 50 years of experience, grew up on a dairy farm, currently have three horses, twenty three chickens and three dogs on a ranch style farm. I am semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as well as my own, I am pretty flexible all week as well as weekends. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own, animals that live with us are considered family and family always comes first.

“Jenny came to our rescue tonight when we needed a walk at the last minute !”

“Ida is wonderful with the girls. She is so kind and so sweet and patient with them, they can be a handful when they get excited but she handles them like a pro. Gabby had gotten sick right in front of the door, Ida cleaned it up and let me know that my girl was not feeling well. She also is in tune with their individual needs and is adjusting to give both off the girls the best experience during their time together. I would highly recommend Ida to care for your babies. The girls and I are so grateful.”

About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!

“Cheyanne was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker and I definitely plan on using her as services in the future. This was my first time using this service and I'm grateful that she provided me with updates and pix so that I could truly enjoy my vacation. My dog had an amazing time with her!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, my own and others included, since as far back as 8 years old. I've always enjoyed taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and it makes my heart happy to see my kids following in those footsteps as they get older as well. I have a husband of 10 years, which will occasionally be helping with some of the pet care, and we have 2 kids (ages 3 and 8) so you know your animals will get plenty of cuddles and play time. We all enjoy and love your pets like our own! Our pets of our own include chickens which are all kept inside of a fenced in area. We live on roughly 3 acres of "unfenced land" at the end of our paved neighborhood road. Included in that are a few scenic trails through the woods on our property, so that means we have plenty of space for your fur babies to have some play time outside in the yard, and walks through the neighborhood/trails for exploration, exercise, and relaxation throughout the day! We are here with open arms ready to care for your sweet babies and willing to learn about each of their individual needs to make sure we make them and you feel comfortable and part of our family in the process! From boarding overnight, to drop-in visits when you can't be there, to random play visits/walking your fur babies, or even meeting/helping you with multiple animals' vet visits..... No matter the job or type of animal, give us a try and you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to hear from you and to make you part of the fam! I am a full time stay-at-home mom/wife so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve for whatever the job you may need for them! Depending on size, your pets are housed inside our home (when staying overnight with us) as one of the family. We have plenty of crates inside our house for individual sleeping spaces. We also use baby gates throughout the house to separate areas of our house so animals can be separated in their own spaces if and when needed. I always communicate quickly with clients and make sure to send lots of pictures to assure them of their pets experience and exceptional care with my family and I. I also provide each animal with an apple air tag just as a safety precaution when they are in my care for mine and my clients peace of mind.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals. I currently do Rover full-time and go to school online, but have worked at a dog boarding/training facility and have worked with/handled dogs of all sizes and breeds. Although I have more experience around dogs I love cats just as much! I have no issues with certain breeds, ages, sizes, or handling medicine (so long as it is nothing a professional vet should handle). I can’t wait to watch and care for your fur babies! I currently work full-time. I usually have two full days off each week for work and I have a very flexible schedule, giving me plenty of free time to walk, watch, and love your pets. I do have my own dog but unfortunately she is not friendly with other animals. Because of this I can only do daycare/overnight at clients own homes and walks/check-ins. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with aggressive animals and have no issues watching/walking aggressive dogs so long as both me and you are comfortable with it. With that being said it is important to me that any aggressive behavior whether with animals and/or people is told upfront and honestly as well meeting the dog ahead of time.

“Emily and I met to get to know once another and let her interact with Kacee. She is wonderful and the way she interacted with Kacee left me feeling secure on the knowledge that she would care for him as if her were her own. We got pictures from Emily while Kacee was out being his wonderful self which I loved. We will definitely be using Emily in the future. Emily thank you so much”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve been around animals my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. I have a one-year-old pup of my own and know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to treat your pet like one of my own! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the week for pet care—whether it’s quick check-ins, longer stays, or daily visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime or walks, and receive any medications if needed.

About: I've been taking care of my own dogs since I was 12 and know the dos and don'ts of attending dogs. Looking forward to seeing your pup. Currently available throughout the week and possibly on the weekends as well. Message directly if you have any questions or special requests and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible. My yard is fenced and I have four boxers that your dog can play with. If your dog isn’t social we also have private sectors on site.

About: I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs. I'm currently just working part time on the weekends and have full availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to give your furry friend all the love and attention they need. Will follow pets normal routine ex. feeding, walking, playtime. I personally don't mind animals on furniture but will follow whatever rules the pet is used too.

About: I have had a cat and a dog since I was young, so I understand the need to be attentive at all times. I understand the need to be caring but yet stern. I have trained my current dog, Frankie. I think what sets me apart is the ability to be playful with dogs, and my calm and patient demeanor. I have a dog and two cats so I am constantly taking my dog for walks, cleaning up after the cats, feeding all of the animals, and changing the litter for the cats. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and follow their usual routine. I make sure they get attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I maintain feeding, and medication schedule.

About: I have always had dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, ect. Also, I'm an EMT so I can handle any medical emergency that may arise as well! I just work part time, 3 nights per week, so my schedule is very open to love and care for your pets along with mine! I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced porch. My 2 fur babies are free roamers inside and are super friendly and loving!

About: I absolutely love all animals! I graduated from my local college with a vet assisting certification. I currently have rescued 9 cats this year and 2 dogs. They all have loving homes now! I love working with animals! They have the most kind souls of anything on this earth. I currently work a lot with the local rescue groups here in town and also the animal shelter. I have 2 children, 13 and 6. I currently stay at home with my daughter. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies and enjoy their presence! I’m a very dependable and loving person and I like to stay in contact and do a daily update after every walk/sitting. I love it when people know how their furbabies are, it brings a sense of peace.
