About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! PLEASE READ!!! ⬇️ *PAYMENTS*: As a notice to all customers, please discuss your preferred payment method with me BEFORE confirming your booking! I use Rover as more of an availability aid, therefore, you are able to see what services I offer and when I am available. After discussing your needed services, I will personally mark your dates down in my calendar and take your payment outside of Rover as they take a good chunk of my earnings if you choose to pay through their site. (I accept cash, venmo, apple pay, and cashapp.) If you would also like photo/video updates of your pet, those will be sent to your personal phone number. *HOLIDAY NOTICE* AFTER December 6th, ALL of my services will be available FULL time until January 9th, 2027. Please do NOT book past January 9th as I will be back in school outside of the area after this time. Thank you SO much for your understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom myself, so I know just how much our pets mean to us. I have dogs of my own and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your fur baby needs an overnight sitter, walks, playtime, meals, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I have two sweet doggies named Leo & Sparky who are 7 and 8 years old! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m very used to having a busy routine centered around caring for others. I also have dogs of my own, and taking care of animals fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m comfortable with routines, schedules, feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Im a mom and I have dogs of my own, so I’m pretty used to taking care of everyone and keeping up with a routine 😂. When I’m watching someone else’s pets, I really just treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow whatever routine they’re used to, make sure they’re fed and let out, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and of course lots of cuddles if they’re into that. I’ll also respect your home and leave things the way I found them. I know I’d be nervous leaving my own pets with someone, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being loved and taken care of while you’re gone. 🐾❤️

“Lauren was great and so communicative. Lots of pictures while we were gone. Very grateful for her care for our boy and we'll be using her again!”

About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!

About: My experience begins with caring for my own pets and my family's pets. I owned 2 female Lionhead rabbits as a child who I still reminisce about to this day. During this time I also afforded the opportunity to care for a close friend's male Holland Lop rabbit! In addition to this, my parents had their own chickens that I adored; I cleaned their coop, fed them daily, and would pet them for hours. My experience with dogs is quite extensive: I've washed, walked, and administered medication for elderly dogs as well as young ones, cared for ones with anxiety, played with energetic farm dogs for hours, walked strong ones who pull at the sight of any person & animal, and walked ones who can't get close to other people & animals. My experience with cats include feral, semi feral, and house cats. I've repeatedly given overnight care for 7 semi-feral cats who's daily feeding schedule was strict & specific, one of whom required medication. In that same house was an elderly dog who had his own, separate, regimented, feeding & walking times (and demanded lots of love that I was happy to give!) Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle as someone who enjoys spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, whether that means multiple daily visits, overnight stays, or extended drop-in sessions. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, understanding that pets thrive on routine and consistency! I'm happy to accommodate early morning or late evening visits, and I always provide photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for. My availability is generally open throughout the week, and I'm comfortable committing to both short-term and longer-term bookings. I build my schedule around your pet's needs, not the other way around. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect: cleaning up after myself, securing doors and gates, following your specific instructions carefully, and maintaining your pet's established routines to minimize stress and uphold any training that has already been given to your pet(s). I'm attentive to potential hazards and ensure pets are supervised appropriately based on their temperament and needs. I follow all feeding guidelines precisely, administer medications as directed, and watch closely for any changes in behavior or health that might need attention. Due to my training as a Registered Behavioral Therapist for human, I keep detailed notes and communicate openly with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos. Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where animals feel comfortable and safe. For pets staying in my home (if applicable), I ensure a pet-proofed space with separate areas for different animals if needed, and I never leave pets unsupervised in potentially stressful situations. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my first concern.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up surrounded by pets and have always considered them part of the family. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Luna, my sweet, energetic, and incredibly smart 5-year-old pup. She’s my little sidekick and goes just about everywhere with me! Through years of caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, behaviors, training, routines, and individual needs. I know every pet is different! Some love adventures, long walks, and endless playtime, while others prefer cuddling on the couch and relaxing. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. My home also has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire, helping keep even smaller pups safely contained. It’s a great space for supervised outdoor playtime, exploring, and burning off some energy! I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in yours. Luna accompanies me for house sitting, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the exact same way about mine. My goal is to treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet sitting around my work commitments. I’m primarily available every other weekend for boarding and house sitting, but I’m also happy to accommodate weekday stays with advance notice so I can plan my schedule accordingly. Whether your pet loves outdoor playtime, walks, or cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work around their usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines to help them feel comfortable and right at home. Feel free to reach out with your dates! I’m always happy to discuss availability and see what we can work out. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! My home has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire to help keep dogs safely contained. There’s plenty of room for supervised playtime, exploring, and burning off energy! I share my home with Luna, my friendly, playful 23-pound pup who loves making new friends! I always recommend a meet-and-greet before boarding to make sure everyone is comfortable together. For house sitting, Luna will accompany me, so it’s important that your pets are comfortable with another dog. I’ll respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love getting to know your pets and you! I’ve cared for dogs, birds, rabbits and cats of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease and your pet to feel happy and at home. I currently am in graduate school at Duke, so my schedule is flexible! That means I have plenty of time each day to play, walk, and care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live on 13 acres of beautiful land with backyard access to trails, which gives plenty of space for walks and outdoor playtime. While the area isn’t fenced, I always keep pets safe and supervised during any time outside. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your furry friends will have my full attention and plenty of company while they’re here. I also know many pets feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, so I’m always happy to care for them in your home. I primarily offer in-home sitting and make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, spiders, snakes and even children lol for family and friends since I was 13! I’m currently working full-time Monday thru Friday onsite but can be very flexible! I am available in the mornings until 9:00am and available after 3:30pm. I have an open schedule on weekends! We stay in a gated apartment complex and have multiple neighborhoods and a dog park around for a variety of walking paths and adventures! We have a bengal cat who loves outside so we walk her almost every day, she is great with the dogs and children. I am all about making sure the pet owner is comfortable with their pet staying with us. I stay on the schedule and rules provided by the pet owner. I am punctual and always aware of my surroundings.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.

“Anna was amazing! Communication thought and care to my pups top tier. She is an animal lover. She is also incredibly respectful and clean. I appreciate someone who communicates regularly and promptly and this is definitely her mode! Thanks Anna for treating my pups like your own.”

About: I have a degree in animal science so I know lots about all sorts of animals, i love all animals with a passion. I’m a dog mom of 3! Currently working Wednesday from 2-5 and Friday 6-12. So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.

About: Because I love animals, not only dogs. Im experienced about them, because I was working in a petshop for 1 year. I like to spend time with them. I had an aquiarum and a budgie in my home few years ago. Im an honest and trustworthy person. I also like to walk anyways. And I know all pet owners are nice people. Because they care about another life. They have grace. Im studying accounting in masters and I was looking for a part-time job to help myself. It will also help me to meet new people and spend time with their beautiful dogs. Im thinking to own a dog in future. It will also help me to gain more experience about pet caring. Thank you!
