Alexis was great with our pup Max. She communicated well before and after the booked walks to make sure that timing worked out. She was friendly and most importantly Max liked her. I would highly recommend Alexis.

About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.

Marissa did a great job with my crazy golden retriever, Huck! She was very prompt and did a great job with him despite the fact that he can be a bit of a puller. She was very accommodating and willing to take him on a jog because he has so much energy!

About: I bring lifelong experience in canine care, beginning in childhood and continuing through the present. I currently care for five dogs and have extensive hands-on experience managing multiple dogs at once, including the care of three litters and several additional dogs in the past. I am available seven days a week with flexible hours. At this time, I am seeking a position that offers flexibility rather than a full-time commitment, and I am eager to pursue work that aligns with my experience and interests. If needed, I am able to safely crate your dog or place them in a designated area. I am experienced in handling dogs that are uncomfortable walking on a leash and can manage them calmly and confidently. I also ensure that all basic needs are met before departure, including providing food and fresh water.

About: Hi My name is Maryssa and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 or 11 years old . I really wish I could adopt every dog I see haha , but I do have Three dogs of my own two chihuahuas, and one Maltese. Neighbors , family , and friends all come to me when they need a reliable and dependable person to watch their pets . My schedule is pretty much open availability at the moment , but I do ask when booking that you are on time and if you are running behind there needs to be communication . If you are more than 45 minutes late Dropping your pet off we will need to reschedule for another time . I don’t have a fence at my home but I personally walk my dogs on a leash, or harness . My animals are pet friendly so your fur babies will be kept company .

About: I love nature and pets love it even more! Walking trails could be so therapeutic for them and I am a willing participant in the activity! I understand the love you have for your pet and it's an honor to be trusted to care for them! I am available during the day to look after your pet! We can have fun or relax while you work comfortably without a worry ! I love taking pictures!! So I'll be sure to share your pets day with you. Caring for them in their own home would probably make them more confident and comfortable. I can dog sit at your house or take them on a stroll.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages as well as varying levels of health. I do not have experience with special needs dogs or with giving dogs injections but I do have experience with dogs who are fresh out of surgery and with giving dogs oral medication. I have experience giving cats a variety of medications in liquid and pill form. I am comfortable and experienced with potty training puppies and general obedience (commands) training with dogs of all ages, though I am not a certified trainer. I also have experience with different breeds of dogs which may require different foods or brushing needs. I have worked with blind and deaf dogs before as well. I am also able to pet sit other animals (i have experience with small mammal, reptile, fish, and birds). I am working a regular 9-5 Monday through Friday. If you are close to downtown Durham I can visit a pet on my lunch break. I am also able to come by before or after work and on the weekends. I am not currently accepting stays at my house due to a high anxiety cat who can be easily stressed out by new animals and people

Emilee has been great with my pup! She goes above and beyond to give him a long walk each day, with an occasional run (amazing!), and gives him lots of love and playtime. It's so nice knowing my pup is being cared for while I'm at work and enjoying his time with her!

About: I have cared for my own personal pets as well as friend’s and family’s pets. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I walk, groom, feed, and bathe when needed. I am a graduate student at NCCU in Durham so I don’t have time for a full time position but Rover allows me to have the flexibility to do pet sitting when possible. Weekends are my most available time and I will also have time in between my clinicals and my classes that I can do walks or drop in visits! I have always been an animal lover, I have grown up in a household that has always had multiple pets at a time. My pets get my full attention and affection at al times when I am home! They bring me so much joy and I would love some more fur babies to love on with all of the responsibility of caring for the 24/7!

Lexie is awesome! She came to meet our pup before their first walk and was super thorough. She made sure she knew our routines and was so great with Skip, even with all of his puppy energy. He really loved her and we would absolutely ask her to help out again in the future!
