About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and coworkers since high school. From personal experience with my own pets to drop in visits for neighbors and friends, my love for animals drives me to provide extra loving care with lots of cuddles (only if they like them, of course). I am currently working at a 9-5 internship, so my mornings and evenings are free to take care of your furry friends! My consistent schedule allows me to dedicate breakfast and dinner time to your pet’s needs. I have years of experience with home visits! I will make sure I don’t leave a trace while taking care of your pets, whether that means cleaning dishes, consistently picking up in the yard, cleaning litter boxes, or whatever else you may need! I am happy to stay around for cuddles or be in and out, whatever fits your schedule and needs.
“Bonnie took fantastic care of our cat Nugget while we were traveling. He can be a little difficult and she earned his trust over the course of two weeks. I also really appreciated the notes she would leave in her check ins about how he was doing.”
“Elise did a great job taking care of my two cats! She is responsive, reliable and made sure both my cats (Who are usually very timid around new people) felt safe and comfortable”
“Angie did an amazing job taking care of all 4 of our cats and making sure each one got the attention they wanted! Everything was in great condition when we got home and the cats seemed really happy!”
“Ashley did a fabulous job. She committed to the schedule, was on time each visit. Spent quality time with our baby, took photos and gave us a brief update of each visit. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She treated Bogey as though he belonged to her, gave him lots of cuddles.”
“Emlee was very prompt and communicated with me regularly. She did everything that I asked and kept my kitty happy. I’ll definitely contact her every time I’m going out of town!!”
“Celina is wonderful! My boys have a great time with her (I can tell from the pictures, how they act, and where their toys are). She even cleans so that I’m walking into a tidy house and gives one cat his special nutritional supplement. They think it’s a great treat to have her over, and she puts my mind at ease when I’m traveling.”
“Prompt, responsable, and most importantly, kitty approved! My shy girls hung around for a peek and even let Megan grab a pic. We would highly recommend Megan and will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again.”
“Emily was an awesome sitter for our elderly special needs standard poodle. And we arrived home after a week away to a spotless house and bedding that had been washed due to our dog’s accident. I recommend her highly!”
About: My life has been surrounded by animals, there was hardly ever a time when there was less than 2 dogs and a cat under our roof. Friends often had lots of pets as well so it was odd to not be around animals. I’ve helped with critters from stray cats, to foster dogs to gerbils. I am currently a college student home for the summer and have a very open schedule. My hours and days available are flexible and unlimited. I am not offering in home services at this time. I am very reliable and have taken care of my own pets as well as friends & family members.
“Christopher took excellent care of my cat, Grey! He was very attentive, made sure she was fed, and kept me updated throughout each visit with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. Grey looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home. I truly appreciate the care and communication, and I would absolutely book with Christopher again. Highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. From an early age, I was the family’s designated dog walker. I have spent time as a volunteer at a local rescue, so I have experience with many different types of pups. I live in Winston-Salem with my rescue, who loves that I work from home. I do require dogs to be spayed/neutered before boarding with us. It is strongly recommended that your dog is comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight. I am home most of the time, in my home office. I take regular breaks and typically walk dogs 4 times daily. I also have a fenced yard for extra playtime. I have a fenced yard for playtime. I am able to house dogs separately if needed for any reason. We go on regular walks in the neighborhood. I completed training and gained certification for Fear Free care of shelter animals in late 2021. I’m home all day Sunday through Thursday. While I do leave the house Friday and Saturday, I’m never gone for long. Sometimes it’s a great opportunity for your kid to get some rest! I have a lovely fenced yard for your dog to play in! If it’s rainy, then we still take 4 or more daily walks. After dinner we all get comfortable in our beds. Dogs should be comfortable with sleeping in their crate at night. I’m home most of the time, and I really enjoy having a few wet noses in my office!
“Both of my cats enjoyed Mackayla’s visits. One has always been the one who hides but by the third visit he came out from hiding and allowed her to pet him and play with him! Mackayla is thoughtful and pays attention to your home! BRAVA!!”
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have had years of experience of learning how to take care of animals. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing and giving lots of love to your pets! I understand all needs and will help make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away! I love being around dogs and will treat every single puppy like they are my own. I currently work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. I have my own dogs and cats that I care for every day, so I am experienced with daily routines such as feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them the attention they need. I would be happy to include your pets in that same loving care and treat them as if they were my own I am available for drop-in visits and can stop by your home to feed, walk, play with, and check on your pets while you’re away. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own environment and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship during each visit. I am dependable, responsible, and will treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own.
About: I've had 6 dogs throughout my life along with cats. We raised beagle puppies when I was a child. I have cared for a great dane and two cats for nearly ten years that I truly loved like they were my own. I also cared for a lab mix and two cats for a dear friend on several occasions. I'm retired and available most week days and am flexible on the times that I'm available. Also, I am available to work weekends when given enough notice. I will follow the instructions of the pet owner when it comes to feeding, caring for and exercising the pets.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kernersville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
