About: I've been taking care of my neighborhood dogs since retirement. We keep each other happy and active. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs and special needs dogs. I've taken them to physical therapy appointments, veterinarian appointments and appointments at the School of Veterinarian Medicine at North Carolina State University. I've become lifelong friends with the dogs AND their parents. It's been a very rewarding second career that I love! I have no strict schedule, so I'm available day and night. I have no problem working around your schedule. My husband is retired also. So 95% of the time someone is home when I board dogs at our house. I have a fenced in yard and my house is set up to give your dog it's own space inside or outside if he/she needs some time alone away from my very friendly little dogs. If you need me to stay at your house, I'll follow all the instructions you communicate.
“Always a pleasure to see Jolynn! She’s the sweetest and loves my dogs like her own. She’s very flexible and easy to work with to cater to me and the dogs in regards to scheduling. I would highly recommend ❤️”
About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am a work from home mom of two young children, 3 & 1 and I love to care for animals on my free time! I am currently not accepting repeat drop-ins/walks. However, I do accept one time drop-ins, dog walks, and boarding. I’d love the opportunity to car for your furry family members! Please message me with any additional questions 🐾 My apartment complex has a fenced-in area for pets to play, which we love taking advantage of on nice days! 🐾 Food and potty breaks will always depend on your pet’s individual routine, so just let me know what works best for them and I’ll be happy to follow their schedule! For pets who are crate trained or prefer to sleep in a crate at night, I do have a crate that comfortably fits most dogs, so you don’t have to worry about providing one for boarding. Because we have a cat of our own, we typically keep him in his own room at first until we’re confident that everyone is comfortable around each other. We also have two young children who are full of energy! All interactions between your pet and my children are supervised to help keep everyone safe and comfortable. Because of this, please only book boarding with us if you know your dog is comfortable and friendly around both cats and young children. ❤️
“Nikki does an amazing job with my reactive dog. She was patient and dedicated to winning my dogs trust before walking her and now they go on lots of walks and my pup has a fantastic time. Nikki gives great detailed summaries on each walk which is a great for keeping up to date on my pups behavior. She really is the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I love going on long walks. Will walk as long and play as long as you need me to. I am currently not working so I have all day to play with the dogs. I will walk as far as you need me to. If you need me to clean, play, walk your animal I will try my best to make your animal feel happy until you get home from work.
About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have house sitting experience and I have taken care of other people's animals previously just to help out. I’ve owned rats, and I’m no stranger to scaly friends if you have those as well. I have my own dog who is my best friend! My schedule is completely open right now because I do side gigs as needed. I’m hoping to eventually make this a long term full time gig! I love all animals and pet care is one of my passions. Any animal of yours I will treat like my own! I do not want you to have worry when you are away.
“Allison has been fano this past week. She came short notice and was able to handle me wiggles at his most energetic. My dog loves his long walks in the park with Allison! Will definitely recommend to my friends!”
“Tiffani is prompt, professional, and wonderful with our dog! She took our dog for a walk each day and always made sure to give her plenty of love and attention. We also really appreciate the great pictures she sends after each visit—it’s such a nice way to see how our pup is doing while we’re away. I would highly recommend Tiffani to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. She is truly great!”
“Kyle was a very conscientious caregiver to our dog. He showed up twice a day (even in the rain) to walk our dog at my dad‘s house. He even went above and beyond by applying an antibiotic to her tail and putting the donut/tail guard on her every night. I strongly recommend Kyle to anyone needing thisservice.”
About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. My focus is always on creating a stress- free experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home so, my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning walks, evening visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pets routine exactly as you outline - from feeding, walks, household rules - so we all feel comfortable and secure. If caring for your pets in my home, they’ll have a family of two cats and a dog plus my animal whisperer husband to love on them. Clear communication is important to me so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.
“You’re an exceptional walker. My dog gets excited when it’s time to for Robyn to come. She is tired when she gets home, but it’s the good tired. So glad we found Robyn, she is excellent.”

About: A little bit about me - My name is Ariel. I’m a North Carolina native, growing up in New Bern. I lived in Asheville for most of my 20s, traveling throughout the United States in the last five years - living in Arizona and Washington state. I’ve had a couple dogs of my own, one being a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix, and the other a plott hound mix. I have also fostered a pitty mix. I’ve always been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, even having a snake as a pet! I’ve always been a lover of anything outdoors and LOVED to bring my furry friends along to enjoy the adventures. I am very responsible and dependable when it comes to my commitments. My favorite thing in the world is to be around and give love to a furry friend. I have experience taking care of dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, and reptiles. I have administered medications to animals and understand the extra needs of a senior or disabled pet. If I sound like a good fit to be a companion to your precious fur baby, please send me a direct message - I would love to chat! 🤗 I am a PRN physical therapist assistant, meaning I do not have a set schedule. I am very flexible with my schedule and time available. I know that every pet has different needs, whether that depends on age, personality, and/or disability. Like my own pets, I always provide affection and I’m very attentive to their moods.

This was my first time using this service, and I am very happy. Jolynn showed up not only on time, but early! She did everything that was promised and the dogs really seemed to take to her right away. Will definitely be booking again and referring her to my friends.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
