About: I have had dogs my whole life and have vast experience with all sizes and breeds. I work from home and am self employed, which allows me to have very flexible hours. I also have a farm with a horse, donkeys and chickens - Any pet sitting you need I can help you out! From dog walking, boarding, farm sitting- I got you covered :) I am extremely reliable and hard working and I understand how hard it is to leave your babies with someone else. I will take that worry away and send you pictures so you have that peace of mind ♥️ I am flexible and am available mornings, afternoons or evenings for drop in visits at your home or in my home daycare / overnight care. I live on a farm and have a very large property to walk or run them on! I can also crate them if needed/preferred! In your home I can take them for a walk or play with them in your yard, whatever you prefer.

About: When you’re away, you want your cat cared for by someone who truly understands them. I totally get that. I’m a proud cat mom to my sweet boy, Doogan, and I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your feline family behind. After trying boarding, I realized that Doogan (like most cats) is happiest and most relaxed in the comfort of his own home. That’s why I specialize in in-home cat check-ins, giving your kitty the care, attention, and comfort they deserve without disrupting their routine. Whether you prefer daily or twice daily visits, I’ll stop by to feed, play, clean up and send you photo or video updates so you can see your cat is happy and well cared for. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely loving toward your pet, because I’ll care for your cat the same way I care for my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available for daily check-ins mornings, afternoons and evenings, providing flexible, consistent care that fits your cat’s schedule. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely loving toward your pet, because I’ll care for your cat the same way I care for my own.

About: Hi there! I’ve had the privilege of working at the McDowell County Animal Shelter, where my passion for animals truly began to grow. That love for pets later led me to become a doggy daycare attendant in Wilmington. Over the last few years, I’ve really enjoyed meeting new people, spending time with pets, and making lasting connections through Rover. With hands-on experience in walking, feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and comfortable. ⏰ My Schedule: I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for before/after work visits or overnight stays—and my weekends are completely free for pet sitting, walks, and extra snuggles. Clients often tell me their pets look happy and relaxed in the photos and videos I send. I believe animals can feel when they are genuinely loved, and that’s the kind of care I bring to every visit. Under my care, your pets will always have: ✔ Fresh food and clean water ✔ Regular walks and exercise ✔ Plenty of cuddles, play, and attention ✔ Memorable photo and video updates 📸 My promise is simple: to treat your pets like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.🐶🐾🐱 Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I make sure they have healthy food, clean water, exercise, and a comfortable space to relax. During the week, I’m available for before and after work visits, and on weekends I’m completely free to provide longer stays, walks, and extra attention. Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like work, it feels like quality time with a furry friend. When I care for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s—I focus on creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I make sure they always have fresh food, clean water, exercise, and plenty of affection. Every pet is unique, so I pay close attention to their routines and personalities to keep them happy and at ease. To give you peace of mind, I send regular photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time and feeling cared for. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely confident that your furry family member is safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away.

About: I have had many different animals my entire life including cats, ferrets, chinchillas, chickens, ducks, hamsters, rabbits… In my 20’s I founded “Not Just Pets, Professional Pet Care”. In my 30’s I founded “Equine Specialist, Care and Training”. I had horses for over 30 years. I trained, showed, pleasure road, belonged to 3 horse clubs and eventually started my own 4-H club. I have bred and trained Boston Terriers and German Shepherds. Currently, I have 4 dogs that I rescued from a SC kill shelter. I have worked with Aly from Coal Mountain and Karen from Arcadia Animal Rescue’s. Both have been amazed by how well adjusted the four dogs have become considering how terrified they were in which no one else would take a chance on. Animals are my passion and greatest friends! I am currently taking an online course to become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist. I work for myself taking care of Seniors and animals. Relocated 04.07.2025 from Maine. I make my own schedule and am flexible to care for your furry family! Every situation can be different. Meeting with the client and their animals is important. I like to know about any vices, medications, vet info, where supplies are at, etc. Taking notes and leaving daily notes for each client keeps communication open and I find is appreciated.

About: Hello, I'm Allison. I love animals. I started taking care of my family's pets when I was 4 years old. Animals play a huge part in my life, especially dogs. I'm a proud owner of a mix breed (Chance) and two other dogs(Loki and Prada. Who are all rescues. Chance was rescued off the side of the road with a minor head injury. Loki was rescued from a litter of pups, where he was the runt that nobody wanted. Prada was rescued from a "homeless", who could not care for her. I'm very patient and loving when it comes to the care of animals. I've worked at a animal shelter/vets office for 1 year. My services include feeding, playing, exercise, bathing, cage-less boarding, teeth brushing, and more. I'm capable of giving your Pet it's medication (oral or injection if needed). Im a stay at home mom. So I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. My schedule is pretty flexible if needed. I have a very friendly and social cat. She mostly stays in her car tree or I can put her in a separate part of the apartment. So no need to worry about your fur baby getting her. I can also crate your fur baby if needed

About: I have been a large and small breed dog owner and caretaker for over 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs of most all sizes, ages, and breeds. Nothing suprises me and nothing is too much for me to handle. I have professional grooming experience and can provide baths for your dog(s) if wanted. I am usually very affectionate with dogs, but can adjust to your specific communication style if specified. I am constantly learning more about dog behavior and feel passionate about providing the best experience for both you and your dog. I am self-employed so have lots of flexibility on a day to day basis. I have a partner who helps care for my own pets, so yours will always be my top priority! I enjoy walking dogs and playing with cats (if they let me! haha). Animals are such an important part of so many of our life’s and I treat each pet I sit like my own!

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.

About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.

About: Hello! I'm Coryne, and I'm a student mental health therapist and a huge animal lover! I grew up around all sorts of animals, from cats and dogs, to horses and parrots. While I’m in school, I always find myself wanting more animal time, and I am always happy to meet new pets and help out their hard working parents! I know what it's like to be a dog parent that sometimes needs some extra help! I have plenty of personal and professional experience taking care of mainly dogs, cats, and horses, and I do have some experience with bunnies and birds. I’ve also worked in shelters, doggy daycares, and horse barns! With all of these animals, I have vast experience in many methods of care, including feeding and medicating. With the experience I gained over my life, I have become very familiar with animals of many kinds and needs. I am thrilled at the idea of meeting new furry friends and offering the care and attention they need! I could not think of any better way to fill my time between my classes and internship. I hope to offer just as much love and care to your pet as you would yourself! **PLEASE READ** My real availability may vary slightly than what is seen on this calendar, so to make this easier on you, here are the times and days I am most likely available: MONDAY: Mornings: 6AM-8AM Afternoons: 3PM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-10PM TUESDAY: Mornings: 6AM-7AM Afternoons: NONE Evenings: 7PM-10PM WEDNESDAY: Mornings: 6AM-9AM Afternoons: 1PM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-10PM THURSDAY: Mornings: 6AM-11AM Afternoons: 11AM-3PM Evenings: Biweekly class, sometimes NO availability FRIDAY: Mornings: 10-11AM Afternoons: 11AM-4PM Evenings: 4PM-6PM I take safety and security very seriously and I will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your pet. No matter what type of pet you have, I will happily provide the care needed to ensure their safety based on your instructions and your pet's specific needs. I have understanding and experience in these needs because I am a pet parent to an anxious and reactive dog! Because of this, I recognize no need is too big or small for your pet, and I will provide whatever you and your pet need to feel safe!
