“Jenny was awesome. I can tell the girls were happy to have her for the week. She provided daily updates with pictures. She cleaned and tidied up after as well, including bedding which is so helpful! Would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her as a sitter to stay in your home.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for multiple pets at once (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.) I also spent time helping out on farms. Therefore, I am no stranger to routine, responsibility or muddy paws! What truly sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian, which gives me 24/7 access to expert guidance if an emergency or health question/concern arises. In addition, during my Marine Corps service, I have done dog sitting at the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, where dependability was key. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in cybersecurity. Therefore, I am currently dedicating my time to my studies, which affords me the freedom to care for your pets anytime. Pet safety is my top priority. Whether I am watching your pets in your home or caring for them in mine, I keep all harmful foods and household items out of reach. Additionally, we only use veterinarian-approved treats and toys (with a vet in the family, I don't guess when it comes to safety). Your pets will get plenty of supervised playtime and outdoor activity, along with a calm structured environment to help them feel more at home. I am very respectful in others' homes and will always follow your care instructions to the letter, including feeding, routines, and any special needs or quirks.

About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I'm 25. I've taken care of, fostered, and owned many cats and dogs throughout all life stages. As a child, I always had animals in the house to take care of, and I've been dog/cat sitting since I was 16. I am familiar with kittens and puppies, but also with elderly dogs/cats as well as dogs/cats with various medical conditions that may need different kinds of medicine administration or lifestyle adjustments. I am currently available full time for your pet, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available for house sitting and stopping by your home. I understand that keeping our pets safe and happy is of the highest priority, and how I will take care of your pets will reflect that. It is always important to make sure your pups are going on walks fit for their lifestyle/needs and that every cat is getting the stimulation they need while you are away.

“Matthew took excellent care of our dogs and home. He was reliable, communicative, thoughtful and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure we returned to happy dogs and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!”

“Kensleigh was perfect for us! She loved my animals as I do, and they were so content when I came home. She is sweet, polite, responsible, and hard working. I’ll absolutely invite her into my home again!”

Kate R.

“Haylee was great with our fur babies! Always kept us informed and shared pictures a few times a day. Nala is very high energy and Haylee was great and took her out as needed to get that energy out. Winston required a slower pace and meds and she was great caring for him as well. We’ll certainly book with Haylee again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs, bunnies, cats and birds since I was 6 years old. I love my fur babies, let me care for yours! I’m currently working full time from home, so I would have time to drop in for visits or walks during the morning and evening. I’m available weekends as well! I have years of experience taking care of and walking dogs of my own. Pets are my passion and I would love to help assist you with yours!

“We had Megan house sit for us for the first time over a long weekend and she was incredible. She treated our animals how she would her own and provided constant updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable with our 3 pets in her care and have already scheduled our next housesit with her!”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs of every kind my entire life, I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy working with dogs because I am an outdoor person who likes to go for runs and walks. I have been relied on by my friends and neighbors to come and spend time, feed, and walk their pets. I am currently enrolled at Catawba College, getting my masters degree, while competing on the beach volleyball team. All my classes are online and practice ranges from 7-8am, 11am- 1pm, and 5-6pm, but vary through the week. I have a fenced-in backyard for my 2-year-old Lab and I make sure that we keep the bedroom doors closed so I can always keep my eye on them.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs. I have limited experience with snakes. I'm not afraid of spiders or bugs. I'm currently working full-time as a legal assistant, so I'm usually only available during the evenings and weekends. I'm usually home from work at around 6 pm and am available until 9 pm during the week. Fridays and Saturdays are generally open unless I have prior obligations. I don't work on Sundays. I can only pet sit at a clients home due to having 2 cats of my own. I go by whatever rules/guidelines they specifically have for me.

About: Never feel guilty again for leaving your pup home, while you’re at work bringing home the bacon! Rest easy on your vacation, long day (or night!) at work, or whatever the case may be: I’m always here for you. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I've had dogs all my life; I am very comfortable with all the different breeds of dogs. Throughout my childhood, I usually had anywhere between 2 to 3 dogs at any given time; at this point in my life I have two pets of my own. My oldest dog is a 5 pound Yorkshire Terriers named Denim age 10+. My second dog is a 10 pound Maltese Poodle named Windsor age 3+. I have a lot of help and support from my boyfriend Michael when it comes to taking care of our pups, so expect a dynamic duo when it comes to your pets. I am currently enrolled in college and I am actively working on finishing my second Associates’ degree in Interior Design, graduation date Spring 2020. From there I plan on finishing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior Architecture expected graduation date 2022. I am a very active person I go on long walks, hikes, jogs, and runs so your dog will be perfect company for me. We can go on leashed walks throughout Lake Thom-A-Lex Park or throughout my residential neighborhood. When staying at my house your dog will get plenty of tender, love, and care. They will have oodles of attention and fun. My goal is to tire them out so when it’s time to go home to you their ready for bed. I work from home so I will provide 24-hour supervision to your dog. I appreciate active communication and will provide regular updates and feedback on your pet. I welcome the same. I am a very responsible person, who is very reliable and understanding, I will accommodate the specific needs of both you and your dog. Working with Rover I have had the opportunity to care for an even greater variety of fur babies. I understand that dogs are part of your family and I would love to care for them as if they were part of my own. I have experience with dogs losing their sight and hearing.

“Anna was awesome !! She took care of our 4 dogs and our home for 8 days while we were on a trip. She sent multiple updates and pictures of our babies the whole time, and always replied quickly. We also came home to our blankets already washed, which made our night a lot easier after a full day of traveling. Thank you for taking on our crazy household !”
