About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them. I have experience administering medications and specialized diets, as well as, giving injections as needed. If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.
“Krista was an amazing sitter! My 3 cats absolutely loved her. I was blown away by how she even charmed my anti social cat. She communicated with us well, and took care of our precious fur babies with plenty of treats and toys. She genuinely cares about the animals, so if you're feeling weary about a pet sitter, know that with Krista, your babies will be in top notch care! ;D”
“Kya really helped me out last min to drop in on Grayson . She was lovely and followed instructions- I did feel like my cat was taken care of - I would definitely use and recommend her .”
“David was very thorough taking care of my kitties even when they were being super shy. His communication was greatly appreciated and left me with no worries while I was out of town. I would absolutely book David again!”
“Jessica is the best! She is reliable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond. And she is so great with my cat! Jessica really loves animals and makes sure they get lots of love and cuddles. I feel so lucky to have found Jessica, she is truly amazing!”
“Kim has taken such excellent care of our wild maniac of a puppy! She makes sure he gets tons of love and snuggles whether we are away for the day at work or for a few days on a trip. She has also taken great care of our two cats and our house while we were away. Kim goes out of her way to do the little things like bringing in the mail daily. She is wonderful!”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
About: Your pets aren't "just pets" — they're family. And as someone who has shared my life with dogs for many years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with their care. I began my animal-care journey studying Animal Sciences at Rutgers University's Cook College. Although my career eventually took me in a different direction, animals remained a constant part of my life. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for 27 years, and I also worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years. My veterinary experience gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including senior and medically fragile pets. I'm comfortable administering: Oral medications Eye drops Subcutaneous fluids Senior-pet care and monitoring Feeding and medication routines Providing extra patience and attention to older or anxious dogs My beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu recently passed away, and while losing him has been incredibly difficult, it has also reminded me how much I love caring for animals. I'm ready to open my heart — and my schedule — to caring for other people's beloved pets. Today, I'm a wife and mother who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable pet care while being available when your pets need me. Whether your dog needs a midday visit, companionship while you're away, medication administration, or simply someone who will treat them like family, I bring years of experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my priority. I work remotely from home and have had a flexible work-from-home schedule for the past seven years, which allows me to be very accommodating with pet-care needs. I'm available for morning visits after 8:30 AM, once I get my daughter on the school bus, as well as midday walks and visits while you're at work. Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to spend the day at your home with your pets when needed, as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pets company. My only regular scheduling limitation is 3:00–5:00 PM on weekdays, when I'm busy with school pickup and getting my children to their afternoon activities. Weekends are generally open and flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and your travel plans. My flexible schedule allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I believe the best pet care starts with making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m playful and attentive, but I’m also responsible and observant—I pay attention to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including larger dogs up to 100 pounds. I also welcome cats! Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play or prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your home is your pet’s safe place, and I treat it with the same respect I would want for my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. Most importantly, I want your pets to look forward to seeing me! I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, walks, and companionship, while respecting their boundaries and individual personalities.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lumberton
Andrea went above and beyond to care for our dogs while we were away. Our dogs are very temperamental so it’s not often that someone can win their trust and their hearts like Andrea did. Her love for pets shined through the moment she met them. She was punctual, followed all of our instructions and even provided extras like cooling them off with a cold wet towel when they came in from outside during the heatwave. She took great pictures and left detailed updates about her visit. This enabled us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dogs. We will definitely hire Andrea again!
Sharon usually pet sits our guinea pigs but we recently rescued two dogs and didn’t want to board them until they’ve had a chance to settle at home. Sharon was super flexible when we discussed the amount of drop ins and times needed. She was communicative as always and took great care of all 8 pets during our trip.
Amanda was truly the BEST in caring for my puppy. I hired her for walks but got so much more pet care in return. She was quick to offer training tips and modifications to help our goals, and repeatedly went above and beyond for me and my pup. Book Amanda, you won’t be sorry!
Best pet caretaker ever! Katelyn has been watching our dog on a regular basis for 4 months and does an excellent job. I always come home to a happy dog and everything in are home is just how we left it. Katelyn does a superb job of communicating any concerns or questions in a prompt manner.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
