About: I am new to the business of dog walking and dog sitting, but I have been around dogs the majority of my life. Growing up my family had three dogs, and currently I have a seven year old rescue dog, named Arya, whom I had adopted in 2019. I am originally from Charlotte, so I know the area well. Looking forward to this experience! While I used to be employed as a TA at FSU when I was a graduate student, I am currently unemployed and searching for research positions as a biologist. My days consist currently of job applications or writing papers, so I hace a flexible schedule. I will treat all dogs with the same love and care, no matter their breed, age, etc. My own dog is a mutt (Rottweiler mix).

“Natalie is INCREDIBLE, we loved having her watch our cat Tuft several times and trusted her with our high energy, and often times difficult to work with dog Bree, this time around and we have nothing but high praise! She went above and beyond, made sure auto feeders had enough without us even asking and even making sure to check in on them prior to a wild storm that came through to make sure they’d be equipped for anything from power outages to general nerves. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have never known life without pets. Over the years, my family has cared for 15+ animals, including dogs, cats and other small pets giving me lifelong experience with animals of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Today, I help care for our two dogs and am the primary caregiver for our three cats, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, providing daily exercise, and making sure dogs receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap year before starting school and am part time self-employed, so pet care is one of my main priorities. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible and will always keep my availability up to date. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications and any special care your pet may need. I’ll also make sure your home is respected by keeping things clean, secure and exactly as you left them. Since I have pets of my own, I currently only offer services in clients’ homes. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping both your pets and mine comfortable and stress-free. I’ll always provide dependable care, plenty of affection and regular photo and text updates so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

“Dorothy may be the best pet sitter I've had. I've had many. She was thorough, calm, patient and did exactly The way I wanted. She stayed in touch while I was gone. Will use her again 💯”

Therese C.

“Reagan was amazing. This whole experience having a pet sitter through Rover and choosing Reagan to come take care of our babies was so worry free. Our pets absolutely loved her and she gave excellent updates on them while we were gone. We will definitely be booking Reagan again!”

About: I have multiple dog breeds since childhood. Now I would love to keep a safe and caring companionship for your pet. They will be sure to enjoy the spacious house during the hottest hours and friendly walks during the cooler hours. I am a homemaker homeschool mom with a flexible schedule. We are able to adjust to boarding as needed. Let us know how we can care for your pet. We have a spacious house and backyard where the pet can run around freely. We also gave sidewalks by our property where we can take your pet for a walk.

About: Hello, we look forward to helping provide you with quality, dependable pet care services! We are Davis & Mackenzie, high school sweetheart newly-weds who are certified cat & animal lovers. Our fur babies are our whole entire world! We both came from households full of small animals around our whole lives, and cannot imagine a time where we have not cared for animals. In high school for Valentine's Day, we adopted our sweet Buddy, our senior kitty with asthma and urinary concerns. In college, Mackenzie adopted Lilah as her best friend. Both of our kitties have some special medical needs including asthma inhaler administration, pill administration, and ear drop medication occasionally. We also have traveled frequently with them due to moving and only having family out of state. They have come to Florida, Mississippi, Carolina beaches, and the mountains with us. That being said, we truly understand the feeling that no one can care for your animals like you do! And we hope we can alleviate those fears for others. Our dog Honey also has some particular medical needs revolving around allergies and anxiety, and we have a great extent of caring for her as well. Both of our cats require four small meals, multiple litter scoops, and lots of playtime a day, so we get it. We more than willing to offer multiple drop ins on weekend days and stay extended time if needed to alleviate any comfort worries. Our cat Lilah often tries to eat hazardous items, so we are absolutely meticulous about cleaning up charging cords, plastic wrappers, rubber bands, strings, shoes, you name it and promise to provide that same care to your animals. We have extensive cat toys that we can bring to play with your cats too, as we know how important continued enrichment is for them. We are highly knowledgable about diet restrictions and ways to provide value to our cats' quality of life. We want to leave them in better spirits and your home in better condition than when we arrived! While our children have special needs that make them our whole world, we wanted to open our evenings and weekends to helping care for other fur children! We realized how nice it was to finally have a sitter for our animals after anxiously travelling with them for years, and would love to continue to help others with the same needs! In order to save more pets from shelters, we would love to be part of someones "village" that they can rely on to check in our their cats. In our free time we love visiting the cat cafes locally too. Davis works full time with some WFH days where he could do a brief drop in around lunch or very early morning. Mackenzie is a full time student continuing her college education as a medical assistant. That being said, she has more availability on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as weekends with Davis. We are unable to offer boarding in our home currently, nor can we offer overnights due to our animals. However, we can definitely stay late nights or early mornings on occasion! We promise to be extremely respectful of your home, treat your fur babies like our own, and be effective communicators! While Mackenzie and Davis primarily focus on feline or small dog care, we also are capable of small animal care of any kind, so please do inquire! As pet parents of 3 high needs animals, we are always doing something surrounding the care of our animals. That being said, we are currently unable to offer boarding in our home or staying overnights elsewhere. We have pretty open WEEKEND availability, as well as some early mornings, some evenings, and some midday availability depending on proximity and duration needed. Any messages asking about our availability will always receive a response! In general, our schedule openness is as follows: Monday & Wednesdays: 5-7am, 12-1pm sometimes, & 5:30-9pm Fridays: 5-7:30am and 2-10pm. Saturday + Sunday: Very open availability with sufficient notice! Please make an inquiry:) We also want to note that our base rate is set for us as a couple, so $19 if we both show up, or $19 if only one of us can make it too. We do most things together by choice, and our rate covers us both within the couple:) We are looking forward to offering drop in services! We will treat your animals and home with the absolute most respect, consideration, and care that we can. We love to provide thorough play time, adequate meals and litter scooping, and making sure messes are cleaned. We will be punctual and courteous, communicating effectively with continued updates. We are happy to send photos every time! We take most bookings as a couple (buddy system for safety & efficiency!) unless otherwise noted due to one person's scheduling conflict. We are unable to board animals in our home or offer overnights at this time.

About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: My experience working in a veterinary hospital over the years has given me valuable hands on experience caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling pets, understanding their individual needs, and recognizing signs that something may be wrong. Whether caring for senior pets, or animals who need a little extra patience and attention, I believe every pet deserves compassionate, attentive care. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I have two pets of my own a large and small breed dog that I care for daily with feedings, making sure they get their daily activities in. They are older but still sharp as a rock. I also used to care for about 8-10 outdoor cats and 4 indoor cats before I moved to North Carolina. I was doing that for about 3 years and loved every second of it. My own pets get fed around the same time every evening, we go for walks over the weekend and during the week if they are up for it. I am very good at keeping them on a schedule, however some days are different and not always the same depending on work and what life decides to throw at me. I will do my best to keep your pets on a schedule if I must and I can take them for walks, play with them, even take naps with them!

“Kristen was quick to respond and help us out with a drop in visit. Would definitely use her again”

About: I have been dog sitting/walking for fifteen years. I am very experienced with all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have worked with up to four dogs at a time. I have a Shihtzu Poodle mix at home, so I know the importance of making sure your pooch is well taken care of. Nothing makes my day better than to be the reason for that tail wag! It is my goal to make sure any dog in my care is not only taken care of, but also having a great time! You will never have to worry about your dog when they are with me...I make sure to follow any and all instructions you leave, as well as taking all the "normal" precautions. I have never met a dog I didn't love and I cannot wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting! I have watched various dog breeds as well as watched multiple dogs at one time. Pet care is apart of my daily and weekly routine depending on the needs of each pet I pet sit. I enjoy taking pets on walks, to the park and playing with them. I currently live in an apartment so when pet sitting I make sure pets have plenty of time outside on walks and at the pet parks near by.
