“Nicole has been the BEST! Our 2 labs look forward to her coming everyday. She treats them as her own. She does what she was hired to do and then some. It is great to have someone come into your home and just love on your pups for a little bit while your at work for the day. It gives them something to look forward to. If all Rover personnel are have as loving towards animals as Nicole is you will have 0 worries. Thank you Rover but especially Thank You Nicole!”

About: I do work a full time job August-May as a cafeteria manager at a school, so please check my calendar for availability. :) I have hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs. I approach every animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine love. I have two rescues: Athena, an 8-year-old beagle, and Ford, an 8-year-old black lab/German shepherd mix. My daily routine already revolves around playtime, and snuggles so adding more furry friends to the mix is second nature to me. I always aim to keep pets in a stress free and familiar environment, whether that’s in your home or out on a walk. I follow your care instructions and give regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I do not offer boarding at this time due to my own dog’s needs, but I’m committed to safe, thoughtful care in your home!

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I love them and understand the way they are so important to your life. I have worked 5 years with the Iredell Humane Society and 1 year with the Forsyth Humane Society. I take care of them as though they are my own! I am currently available anytime to come to your home or pick them up. I am trustworthy and know several parks in the area if needed. I am unable to keep in my home at this time, subject to change in the future. I look forward to that opportunity and will update.

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: I managed an upscale Dog and Cat boarding for over eight years. I have experience grooming, training, administering medication/shots, obedience training, playtime, walks, feeding, scooping poop, etc. I’ve been a dog owner of many different breeds for over 35 years. My husband and I own a DOG FRIENDLY Airbnb in Wisconsin. You know I am obsessed with my dogs and other people’s dogs because when you look at my photos on my phone it’s all dog pictures. love all dog breeds and enjoy spending quality time with dogs. Dogs are my soulmates. I am retired and my schedule is very flexible. I am available to stop by for daily walking, playtime, feeding, cuddles, administering medication, and much more. I enjoy long walks, cuddling dogs, play-time, and making your dog feel loved. Safety is my priority with the care of your dog. I will care for your dog as I would care for my own dogs- love, caring and special bonding.

About: I have over seven years of experience in animal care. I have experience in caring for every day needs, as well as emergency pet care. I have worked in the pet care industry in which I am knowledgeable on puppies, senior dogs, and dogs on medications. As I have four dogs of my own of all different breeds and personalities, I will be able to accommodate your pets needs. My schedule to very flexible towards your pets needs and would be happy to help. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of acreage for your pet to run in. With a fenced acre lot!! Including the set ups of our own dogs, we can accommodate whatever your pet is used to in their own home. I am home full time so the dogs are getting to play all day! I take them on individual walks and we play all day! I am always supervising the dogs I watch. I have plenty of space for them to run and play. We play all day and I send updates

About: Hello! I have been taking care of my neighbors dogs for 3 years now and I like to ensure they are cared for and happy! Whatever the owner wants I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pets. I am great at listening to small details to make sure that your fur baby has an amazing experience! I am a full time rover sitter so I am free the whole rest of the day for walks, baths and giving your pet my absolute full attention! Whatever the owner is comfortable with, I have a huge backyard, the dog can be crated or can be in a certain room in the house.

“We’re so happy with the care our dog received! Celeste took him out twice a day, made sure he had water, played ball with him, and gave him plenty of attention. It’s clear our pup was in great hands!”


About: I work as a Kennel Technician taking care and loving the dogs who have been pulled from kill shelters to rehabilitate them, so we are able to relocate them and find them good homes. I also worked with my Uncle on his ranch with his rescue dogs and other farm animals. In the near futuer I will be going back to school to study Zoology. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I have a strong love for animals and I'm a very patient person. I know how to treat them the way they should be treated. I'd like to think I'm amazing at what I do and not only am I great with animals but I love working with them. I will love your dogs and take care of them just as I do my own!

About: A little background: I have been a pet owner since I was a child. I grew up on a small farm complete with horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, cats and of course dogs. I'm the current owner of a German shepherd, 2 Pomeranians, 2 cats, 5 horses, multiple chickens, and rabbits. I have years of animal handling experience through volunteering at the Central Florida Zoo and Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. I've also owned many exotic pets like turtles, fish and birds. My passion for animals has caused me to pursue a degree in environmental sciences and biology from the University of Central Florida. I love all animals and believe they should be taken care of to best of our abilities. I have many long time customer references available upon request. I live on a growing homestead that requires me to check in daily on my animals and pets. As long as I can check in on my farm we should be able to continue your normal pet care routine. In situations of conflicting schedules, I have an assistant available to help care for the dogs during the day. We can discuss our schedules and figure out what works best for everyone's needs. What you can expect from me: While your dog(s) is in my care I will provide them with the love and attention they deserve and will strive to keep them as close to their normal schedule as possible. I will prepare their food in whatever manner they are used to including any special instructions, dietary supplements, heating or mixing they may require. As the pet-mom of a Pomeranian with liver issues, I understand how important a consistent diet is for our pets and I promise to continue your dog's usual regimen. I will take your dog on potty breaks/walks as often as you request as I strive to keep to your dogs normal routine. I will send texts/pictures/emails/updates of your pets on request. I will respect your household and will leave everything as you left it. I will check mail, water plants, and care for other kinds of pets (cats, fish, exotics, small pets) at your request. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) and for the opportunity to provide care for them while you're away.

About: Hello from Katie! Moved here from the Midwest about a year ago! I have owned dogs my whole life and couldn't imagine life without them. I worked at the dog kennel next to my house growing up and learned how to give exceptional care to dogs of all sizes. I have since worked full time at a horse farm and love animals all shapes and sizes. I have two dogs of my own that are my babies. I will enjoy my time with your dog and make sure they enjoy their time with me. After working full time I know how stressful it can be to make sure your pet is properly exercised everyday. Your pet will be safe as I make their walk as enjoyable as possible! Please reach out with any questions and concerns you may have.

Sara M.
“Hello there! Sara has been my best friend since Kindergarten, for over 25 years at this point. She is a kind soul, who loves animals of all kinds. We lived together for a year right after college, and at that time I got a cat. To this day my cat will come running into the room when Sara comes over and won’t leave her side until Sara goes home. Sara has a key to my house and if there’s ever an emergency where I’d need someone to take care of my baby, she’d be the one to do it. She knows her quirks, when to clean her litter box, and when the cat wants attention vs when it wants an extra nibble of food. Sara also is wonderful with dogs. I am a cat person through and through, but her dogs are so sweet and gentle, and the only ones I don’t get scared of when they want to snuggle up with me when I visit.”
