About: I have had the pleasure of caring for a variety of breeds of all ages for 30+ years. My pet sitting services are UNIQUE as I offer a premium experience focusing on personalized care and comfort by servicing ONLY 1 PET/FAMILY at a time in my CAGE-FREE spacious home. Outside of the basics of food and water, I believe pets should be provided with plenty of love and attention as well. For young dogs, I provide ample playtime and exercise to keep them mentally and physically healthy. As senior dogs may have individual needs in terms of exercise, diet, and medical care, I am comfortable and knowledgeable in addressing those needs. I offer flexible scheduling, transportation and light grooming at reasonable rates. I have come to the reality that it is possible to make a living doing what I love the most! 🐾Please note, if a desired date/time appears unavailable, reach out as adjustments can sometimes be made.🐾 By providing a CAGE-FREE home-like environment and my one-on-one attention, I cater to their specific needs, dietary requirements and preferences. I aim to minimize stress from unfamiliar surroundings and interactions with other pets reducing the risk of illness and injury unlike traditional kennels/boarders. This is particularly beneficial for anxious or shy pets, helping them feel safe and secure in your absence.

About: I have three dogs at home! Lucy, Scotch and Sage! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 8 (and I am now almost 24)! Well I’ve been around dogs since I was born because my grandparents love dogs too but I was 8 years old when my mom bought our first dog. Then after that they just kept coming haha! Everyone knows me as the dog lover because I really do think they are the cutest animals ever! I work from home so I’ll be able to be with the dogs at all times. I won’t ever leave the dog alone for more than two hours. I will always be by the dog and giving it lots of love! Feeding is as instructed and take the dog out every 2-3 hours.

About: I have shared my home and heart with pets my entire life. Animals are not just a job for me—they are family. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members behind, and I am here to give you total peace of mind while you are away. I currently manage a diverse household of three wonderful dogs, which means I am highly adaptable to different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels: -Two Pomeranians (Ages 2 & 10): I understand the delicate nature, high energy, and specific grooming/care needs of small toy breeds, from playful puppies to sensitive seniors. -Chocolate Labrador (Age 7): I love large, active breeds and am fully capable of handling big dogs who need plenty of exercise, structure, and play. I spent many years loving and caring for two German Shepherds until it was their time to cross the rainbow bridge. Both of my Shepherds faced significant health issues later in life. Through that emotional and rewarding journey, I gained extensive, hands-on experience with: -Maintaining strict, time-sensitive medication schedules. -Managing complex veterinary treatment plans. -Providing gentle, compassionate care to senior dogs with mobility and health challenges. I offer a full range of flexible care options to fit your schedule: -Boarding & House Sitting: Your dog can vacation at my house or stay cozy in theirs. -Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking: Perfect for quick bathroom breaks, playtime, or burning off energy. -Fully Fenced Yard: My home features a secure, fenced-in yard where your dogs can safely run, fetch, and play to their heart's content. For years, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my family, friends, and coworkers. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to keeping your dog's exact routine intact. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk, a strict medication routine, or just a lot of couch cuddles, I will treat them exactly like my own! I am a local Realtor with The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group at BHHS Penfed Realty, meaning my professional life requires some flexibility! I am completely open and available all day every Tuesday and Sunday. On other days, I often serve as our on-duty office agent or show properties to clients. However, I am always free after 5:00 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, or feedings! My real estate calendar is finalized weekly, so my Rover calendar is always kept strictly up-to-date. Please reach out and we can easily coordinate a schedule that works perfectly for your pet! In My Home (Boarding) Secure Fenced Yard: My home features a large, fully fenced yard where your pets can safely play, explore, and stretch their legs under direct supervision. Friendly Pack Environment: Your pet will blend right into my family, alongside my friendly Pomeranians and Chocolate Lab. I introduce all new pets slowly and safely. Realtor Schedule Safety: On days when I am showing homes or on duty at the office, dogs are safely separated into comfortable, designated spaces or crated (per your preference) to prevent any mischievous behavior while I am out. I also have a pet camera. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins)Respect & Privacy: As a licensed Realtor, I handle property keys, lockboxes, and home security every single day. You can completely trust that your home will be treated with the utmost respect, locked securely, and left exactly as you left it. Routine Continuity: I closely follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Cleanliness & Care: Litter boxes will be scooped daily, water bowls will always be fresh, and I will gladly bring in your mail. Medical & Senior Care ExperienceExpert Handling: Having managed complex health issues with my past German Shepherds and caring for my current 10-year-old Pomeranian, I am entirely comfortable administering oral medications, pills, and following strict veterinary wellness schedules.

“Nicola is a great commicator,smart and nice , trusting personality. I feel those are important traits when asking a stranger to come in your home. Will continue to work with her!”

“My dog is thrilled to be walking with Christina. She is a warm, friendly person, and my dog Is so comfortable with her. After the first walk, Rosie was exhausted and happy. Now she goes to the front door and looks out the window about the same time every day, and starts making happy noises when she sees Christina. She handled my big dog who tends to pull hard at the start with no problem. I trust her completely.”

“I could not be happier with a dog care person than I am with Paula. She's dedicated, completely reliable and my miniature schnauzer fell immediately in love with her. (Not his typical behavior)”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, fish, and mice! I love all animals and I believe they all deserve the best possible care we can provide! I’m currently a stay at home mom with two adult children and one child in kindergarten! I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your fur (or feather or scale or what have you!) babies! I have a small dog and a cat that are friendly and would get along well with other animals. I enjoy walking pets and cuddling as well!

“Siara was the best! She was very attentive to our fur babies' needs and responsive! She went out of her way to make sure they received the best treatment while my family was away. I would 100% recommend her in the future! Thank you, Siara!”

“We are so grateful for Sherrie and her willingness to help us out last minute! She braved two out of three days walking our dog in the pouring rain, and still managed to make it fun for our rain-disliking girl. Our dog absolutely adored Sherrie from the beginning, which is rare for our dog as she is slightly anxious around new people. Sherrie kept us updated with great communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is extremely reliable, caring, and clearly an animal lover. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Paige was outstanding! I had to be out of town for the day and asked her to do two drop-ins on a Sunday. Maya loved her! Will definitely hire Paige again in the near future!”

About: FYI--Recently retired from the Federal Government. I did a Katrina mission to offer counseling to those who lost their homes. However, I was asked to volunteer in a pet shelter because the pets were abandoned due to the crisis at hand. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I figured I could do it, if I didn't look the pets straight in the eye (to prevent the heartbreak and the tears from flowing). Well, one little doggie who was in the corner of her pen shaking and shivering, grabbed ahold of my ankle as I was walking out of her pen (after cleaning it and feeding and watering her) and she wouldn't let go. She dragged her little butt along the concrete flooring as I tried to close the gate. I broke down into tears immediately and said "okay, I'll take you home with me and the cat in the pen next to you". Yes, I rescued them both... Or should I say they rescued me..from Empty Nest Syndrome. They have brought so much love into my life! My Mississippi Mud Pie (Boston Terrier) has now gone to Doggie Heaven and I want to provide love to other's pets in honor of her memory. My schedule has recently opened up more since retiring from the Federal Government, and I have a lot of time to devote to other's pets and animal care. When a dog is in my care, I provide very frequent walks and cater to your pet throughout the entire time they are with me. I like keeping animals happy and content. I provide a safe, trusting and caring environment. I am very nurturing and provide excellent care and attention. I am very attentive of animals needs.

About: I have been taking care of my families pets since I was 13. Spending time with animals is one of the best ways to spend a day, especially when meeting new furry friends! I am currently working a serving position over the summer during my summer break from college, so my schedule can fluctuate, but mainly revolves around evening shifts. I am very good at communicating when I am available or not, and am totally okay with dedicating my days off to spend time with your pets! Preferably, I would like to care for animals in your own home, as I have two cats at home who are okay with other cats, but not so much bigger/more active dogs. I have a car so I am able to transport your pets and I to and from walks, homes, etc.

About: I have had a variety of pets of all ages with some needing special care. I enjoy walks, playtime and snuggles from fur babies. I have flexibility and can work with your schedules to give the proper care to your pets. I am currently working a casual job and would like to fill more of my time with what brings me joy which are animals. I only have my older cat but enjoy dogs of all sizes, other cats; I have fed fish, small reptiles, and horses. I do travel but have flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a home where I can close off play areas if needed. I can provide litter boxes separately if needed and clean out as needed. I am happy to listen to your requests and concerns and follow your routine for your pets. I am comfortable going to your home where your pets are ‘at home’ and walk, feed and play with them in their own setting.

About: Hi! I split my time between Greensboro and Rehoboth! Weekends in Rehoboth, middle of the week in Greensboro, with some flexibility! I have lifelong experience and deep love for animals. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, including my own three dogs – one of whom is a senior and two other high energy dogs, including a Whippet and a Jack Russell blend – along with two indoor/outdoor rescue barn cats. With a large property for exercise and play, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I’ve been trusted to care for others beloved animals for years. I’m passionate about providing attentive and reliable care, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am a teacher and will be gone from my home 8 hours of the day. I can be available to come let pets out for a potty break in the middle of the day some days. I am free on weekends all day. If your pet is crate trained they will be on the same schedule as my own! I have cared for many animals, boarding, walking/running, and general care. My pets are allowed on furniture for snuggles and free roam of the house, to explore and move! I have two high energy dogs that need to go on runs daily. I am fit and we are on a dirt road and a large property so getting exercise is easy! My dogs have their own bedroom and actual bed, but are also crate trained for during the day. They are very friendly, love other animals and our cats!

“Chelsea was awesome. 👏 She paid careful attention to Winston and was patient with him as he was a bit reluctant to walk with a new person. She followed all my instructions and took care of our baby. Will use her anytime I need help with Winston in the future.”
