About: I've been caring for dogs for about 10 years around my neighborhood and school community. I have always had a family dog in my home as well. I am a huge animal lover, majoring in Animal Science at NCSU - so you can trust that I am comfortable with all pups. I adopted my super-mutt, King about 2 years ago; he is my everything. He is an anxious fella with leash reactivity so I have experience with many behaviors. On top of that, I have also worked in a Veterninary Clinic as a Kennel Tech and have basic medical emergency knowledge. I have used Rover to find sitters for King and decided with a lighter school schedule this semester, I'd give it a go. I have one afternoon class each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday - Otherwise, I'm open! I work part-time as a waitress near campus but my daily shift will not exceed 4-5 hours. Note on Availability Drop in’s & Walks: - Monday: all day! - Tues/Thurs: 7am-12:30pm, after 3pm - Wednesday: 7am-12pm, after 2:30pm - Friday: all day! - Saturday: all day! - Sunday: all day! I would love to spend time with your furry kiddo and provide whatever services you need! I will follow instructions, send updates, and not hesitate to reach out if something seems wrong or unclear. I will treat your good boys and girls as if they were my own. I can provide walks, feeding/watering services, administer medicine, etc. Please ask if there is any unique service I can provide for your pup before booking with me.

“Pierceson is one of the most responsible people that I know. She loves all animals dearly. I would trust her to care for and watch anything from children to homes and especially animals.”
4. Ellen B.
“Ellen has been so helpful with Milo. Most of our bookings have been last minute and she has been very accommodating. She takes plenty of pictures and Milo is a very happy pup when I get home. She is our go to walker!”
5. Allison C.
“Allison watched my two dogs for over a week and took great care of them. She took them for walks, cuddled with them and she made sure to follow all of our instructions, especially for our senior dog. Our dogs love Allison and I would trust her to watch them again.”
6. Kayla B.
“Very responsive and responsible despite of my last-minute booking”
7. Corey C.
“The updates and communication, are top tier. Would 100% use them again! My dog was left happy and exhausted!”
8. Caroline D.
“Caroline was super considerate for all of my pets' needs when she sat for me! Very excellent sitter for both my dog and cat, and when I told her during the Meet n Greet that my cat is extremely cuddly she said "say no more" and proceeded to give him all the attention he could want from a stranger. No issues whatsoever with her during her stay, was always on time with my written down feedtime suggestions, and gave my dog a bunch of playful exercise.”
9. Tori W.
“Tori did a great job with our nervous pup. She listened to him in the heat and took him to hang in the yard instead of trying to walk him too far once he was done his business. He warmed up to her right away and she took good care of him.”
10. Alex B.
“Faze was very happy with the walks he and Alex went on. Alex was accommodating, communicative, and timely. I would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone else.”
11. Corinne M.
“Corinne came to our rescue, providing excellent care for our dogs on very short notice. One of our dogs is very energetic and he takes a while to warm up to strangers - Corinne gave him the time he needed to warm up to her and she provided the exercise he needed. She sent pictures and was quick to communicate. We would recommend her to others and will use her again. Thanks Corinne!!!!”
12. James D.
“I have known James all his life. Our families are best friends. He has stayed with our dog several times. He is very responsible and trustworthy. I cannot say enough good things about him. He loves his own dog, Levy and treats other peoples pets as his own. He is still my go to dog sitter when he is home from school.”
13. Essence W.
“Ziggy really enjoyed his walk/runs with Essence… unfortunately he was hit by a car and sustained hip fractures so he will be out of commission for a bit but thank you Essence for your service.”
14. Zoe H.
“Zoe was amazing!! She took care of my cat poppy and dog Fiona for the weekend and they love her now, will definitely be booking her for the next time I’m out of town!”
15. Nicole K.
“Nicole is great! She is very communicative, reliable, and accommodating. I know my dogs are in good hands! I will book with her again in the future!”
16. Lauren M.
“So great with my pup!”
17. Sarah B.
“Sarah is INCREDIBLE! My dog is obsessed with her and loves her so much and I feel so much peace of mind when she comes. She is attentive, kind, reliable and wonderful to work with. Would recommend her a thousand times over.”
18. Savanna P.
“Savanna was a superb choice for our four-legged family member. She always arrived when requested, provided detailed and descriptive Rover cards with photos, and in doing so, offered us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog has been through past trauma and Savanna eased caringly into her bond with our dog. By the end of the week, or pup was sitting beside her on the couch, playing outside and offering belly rubs. We highly recommend Savanna!”
19. Hannah H.
“Hannah recently cared for my dog and did a wonderful job!! She was kind, followed directions perfectly and was timely. She communicated with me and send me pictures. She went the extra mile to stop and care for my dog when another dog scared her and I really appreciated that.”
20. Hannah E.
“Hannah took great care of Archie on his daily walks! She communicated well, sent pictures each day, and showed up on time. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
