About: I've been taking care of my neighborhood dogs since retirement. We keep each other happy and active. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs and special needs dogs. I've taken them to physical therapy appointments, veterinarian appointments and appointments at the School of Veterinarian Medicine at North Carolina State University. I've become lifelong friends with the dogs AND their parents. It's been a very rewarding second career that I love! I have no strict schedule, so I'm available day and night. I have no problem working around your schedule. My husband is retired also. So 95% of the time someone is home when I board dogs at our house. I have a fenced in yard and my house is set up to give your dog it's own space inside or outside if he/she needs some time alone away from my very friendly little dogs. If you need me to stay at your house, I'll follow all the instructions you communicate.
About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have house sitting experience and I have taken care of other people's animals previously just to help out. I’ve owned rats, and I’m no stranger to scaly friends if you have those as well. I have my own dog who is my best friend! My schedule is completely open right now because I do side gigs as needed. I’m hoping to eventually make this a long term full time gig! I love all animals and pet care is one of my passions. Any animal of yours I will treat like my own! I do not want you to have worry when you are away.
“Always a pleasure to see Jolynn! She’s the sweetest and loves my dogs like her own. She’s very flexible and easy to work with to cater to me and the dogs in regards to scheduling. I would highly recommend ❤️”
“Allison is the best! This was my first time using Rover as a pet owner and I definitely plan on using Allison again. I just rescued Maya three weeks ago and was a little nervous but Allison came for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease and knew I could trust Maya with her. She was very thorough and attentive with Maya and took some great pictures too that I might have to get framed!”
“Robyn was timely, communicative, and very attentive to both my requests and concerns regarding my reactive dog. She has extensive knowledge of animals, and I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands during their visits. I really appreciated her professionalism, patience, and understanding.”
About: I previously worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I fed and watered dogs, managed medication, and gave lots of love! Giving oral or topical medication is no stranger and certainly not a problem for me. I am currently a part-time waitress working around 3 days a week. I have lots of time for the dogs, and I miss spending time with them! In a client's home, it would be ideal for them to tell me everything in need to know about their pup, such as medication time (if needed), feeding schedule, likes and dislikes, and personal quirks. At my home, my yard is not fenced in, however, it is 1 acre of land in the back of a neighborhood far from any main roads. Your pup with also be with my dog Manny. He is a black lab, German longhaired pointer mix. He is well tempered and plays well with all other dogs.
About: I helped trained animals, aided in births of new pups, bathed all different types of breeds, House sit animals when people go on vacation, I walk their animals and feed them when needed. I’m currently part time I have lot of free time I can travel max is about 1 hour if further may ask for a additional fee if that maybe the case I have a hunting dog that need it if attention I trained him myself and get fed twice a day I constantly walk him a lot to keep him in shape
About: I've had dogs since I was a toddler. I love dogs and have cared for puppies and older dogs. I cared for cats, fish, ferrets, reptiles and rodents I am energetic and love to play and snuggle. I'm currently finding my niche after working in customer service for years. Dogs have been a part of my life and I am currently looking for my match dog. I have a fenced in yard and your dog can play with me there. I love to walk, so we will be walking a lot. I would snuggle too.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life dogs, cats, and even a few surprise visitors in between! Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or making sure they get fed on time, I truly enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe and loved. I’m currently active duty military, so my schedule stays pretty consistent! I’m available most evenings during the week and open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. If you need early morning care, feel free to message me I’ll do my best to work with your needs! I’m currently serving in the military, which means I’m super reliable, detail oriented, and organized. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, send updates, and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I don’t take that lightly.
About: I have watched many different breeds of dogs since I was 16. Small dogs, big dogs, puppies, seniors. I am now 19 and my love for dogs only grows more and more every time I meet a new one! I also have experience with cats, and love them just as much as dogs. :) I currently pet sit full time, so my days consist of giving my 100% to your pets. I am not currently doing Boardings until the nearer future, but I am still doing, and enjoying doing, Sittings, Drop Ins, Overnight Stays, and Walks! I treat every pet like it is my own and am open to taking care of your pet in any way that it may need. Whether that be with lots of walks, giving medicine, groomings, or baths, I want your pet to feel at home when I am with them. :)
About: Pets, specifically dogs, have been a part of my family since I was born. Love all animals and care for them deeply. Currently, I have 2 dogs and a cat. All my children! Even have tattoos of them to honor each one! In late 2022, I helped my 1st dog, Pearl, cross the Rainbow Bridge after 16 and a half years together. Want to honor her by helping others❤️🐕🐈 Currently looking to make this my primary means of income. I want to make animals my priority! Willing to play, walk, feed, yes...even BATHE your dog (not cat...ha ha) if needed! Potty breaks can be 5 minutes or an hour! Playtime, walks, cuddles, lunch/dinner, naps can all be included! Willing to make your pet MY priority!
About: I have worked with dogs for the better part of 10 years. Working with them always puts a smile on my face! I love them! Being able to make an impact on a family and a fur baby is my main goal! I have a dog of my own so taking care of animals is second nature. Taking long walks, giving treats, teaching tricks, and getting to know them is top priority. I have always had a huge love for dogs, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about! With 10 years of pet-sitting experience, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in loving and trustworthy hands. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with them! My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pups are receiving the best care and attention possible.

This was my first time using this service, and I am very happy. Jolynn showed up not only on time, but early! She did everything that was promised and the dogs really seemed to take to her right away. Will definitely be booking again and referring her to my friends.
