About: I have had several dogs in my family that I have taken care of, including one with reactivity and separation anxiety. I have also been working at the animal shelter for over a year, where I am a mentor. I have worked with several different animals, and many different sized dogs there. Am proficient in walks, enrichment, light training, play groups, and general care. I also enjoy photography and love taking custom pictures of pets! I am currently available all week, with lots of flexibility on time. I prefer to work during the weeks, and in the mornings, but can adapt depending on the pet needs. I have both pet sat at my house and at the owner's house, and am comfortable doing both. If visiting another home, I like to have a throughout understanding of the pet and their needs. I prefer to do long-term sitting at my home, as I have a large yard where they can explore safely.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.

“I needed someone last minute to walk my German Shepard and Lindsay was the first to respond. She sent me pics of the walk and also let me know what business he did so I was prepared when I got home from work. I've had other instances where I've had to book last minute, but Lindsay is my girl for pur household whenever we need services, hands down! Thanks, Lindsay, for all that you did for our baby! ❤️”

About: I am a college graduate and I work full time as a server. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends. I have a male black lab at home. I used to have a senior black lab mix but we had to put her down due to cancer. I have experience at the animal shelter and with my own dogs at home. I have lived with dogs all my life and I have lots of experience to take care of them. Dogs are my favorite animal and the one we have is pretty big. He is 90 pounds. He loves to swim and fetch the ball. I love cats and dogs! I want to make your pets as happy as possible. I would be a great pet sitter! I work 4 days a week as a server so pet care fits into my weekly routine! Working location: Hillsborough, Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh area In my clients home I will care for your pets by putting on their leash, making sure they have food and water, and looking at the notes from the client. In my home I have a trail and a fenced yard.

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I am a veterinary assistant (coming from a emergency and specialty hospital setting) with a background of animal boarding/daycare experience which includes basic grooming (nail trimming, anal gland expression, bathing...), training, and play. I'm comfortable and experienced with all types of animal behavior and am more than happy to accommodate special needs! I am skilled in dog and cat medication administration: intranasally, subcutaneously, orally, and intramuscularly. I am also RECOVER certified in dog/cat CPR BLS/ALS and well versed in handling animal emergencies and events. I am also comfortable with chicken (just chickens at this point in my career), rabbit, and guinea pig care including SQ, IM, and oral medication administration. I love animals and i'm elated to have the opportunity to take care of your babies! I'm currently a part-time worker at a general family vet practice and pick up shifts occasionally at an emergency veterinary hospital. My schedule is a little flexible due to this fact and my availability will reflect this! I do own two (2) cats of my own and will ask if your pet is comfortable with being left for maximum 2 hours at a time, no more than once a day so I can check up on them. This is for house sitting only. When visiting your home I'll be conscious of how your pet receives me. For bright, young puppies and kittens, I'll keep them entertained and stimulated for the length of my visit, making sure there is no signs of trouble or illness. I'll be sure to clean and sanitize myself before and after each visit with these puppies/kittens to ensure their safety and health. The same applies with young and old adult dogs and cats, taking into consideration the special needs that come with age.

About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting for about 15 years and have cared for all sorts of breeds! No breed is too much to handle. I also have a little over a year’s experience in working in an animal hospital. I am able to administer medications, provide play time, dog sit in your place, and walk as needed! I also have experience caring for reptiles, cats, and fish! Use code CORIND05967, https://www.rover.com/sit/corind05967 for $20 toward your first booking! I am a nurse and work typically 1pm to 1am 3 days a week but am available all day the other 4 days of the week. Please check my calendar for availability and always feel free to message me as there is some flexibility in my schedule. I live on a 8.5 acre farm with my own animals so I have a lot of experience working with different animals. I have done dog walking/drop ins off and on for the last 15 years without any issues!

About: What sets me apart is my personalized and attentive approach to pet care. With over 8 years of experience, I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is an essential part of my weekly routine, and I structure my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care. My mornings typically include check-ins or walks for pets, ensuring they start their day with exercise and attention. I also plan my mid-day breaks or work intervals to accommodate feeding, potty breaks, or playtime as needed. On days when my schedule includes specific commitments, like work or classes, I always make time before and after to ensure pets are cared for without any interruptions to their routine. My approach is adaptable, allowing me to meet the needs of pets and their owners, whether they require short visits, extended care. I strive to maintain a pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and minimize stress. This includes following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions, such as administering medications or specific training. I also prioritize keeping their environment clean and safe, making sure food and water bowls are sanitized and their living area is tidy. While in my client’s home, I respect their space by leaving it as clean and organized as when I arrived, ensuring a worry-free environment. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment. I designate areas where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I adhere to their usual feeding and exercise schedules and provide plenty of attention and enrichment activities. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor play, and cuddles; for cats or smaller animals, I ensure they have quiet spaces and interactive play. I also take precautions to ensure a safe environment by securing harmful items and monitoring interactions if I have other pets.

“Jennifer....is awesome! She kept her word about when she would arrive. She followed my instructions and was attentive to my needs.”

About: Ive grown up with animals my whole life, I started walking my family dog and cleaning up after my family cats when I was pretty young and Ive been doing it ever since! I take care of my own dog, and I have also had experience house sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Im currently in school at Alamance Community College, and I have class 9-5 every Tuesday and Thursday. Other than that and the occasional appointment I am pretty open :) I like to follow a timely schedule with my dog (when I feed her, when I walk her, when I take her out, etc.) But of course it isn’t always perfect, and I am willing to adapt to any specific instructions/ guidelines.

“Tristina was able to come walk my dog with very short notice. She was kind, loving, and my dog SERIOUSLY loved her. He loves everyone, but he had an instant connection with her. She was comfortable with walking him, even tho he was really excited. She listened carefully to my instructions and made sure to follow the training we are doing with him since he's still a puppy and we're still training him. She took him on a 1.2 mile walk. She showed up on time and returned him on time. I will be hiring her again for sure! Thanks!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure you feel at ease with regular updates and communication. I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I’m intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. On my days off, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and genuine love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, so I make safety, comfort, and communication a priority. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs so your pet feels secure, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life, and being able to take care of them was just an extra perk. I have previously dog sat/ house sat for four families regularly. Whenever I am responsible for taking care of pets and other people's home I try to treat it as my own. The thing most owners like about me is how passionate about pets I am. My own dog Dulce is 14 years old, and the love of my life. I truly understand how much a pet is a part of the family. My hope is to provide you with safe and timely pet and home care. Please let me know how I can be of assistance to you and your family! All the best, Amber
