“Emily was a great pet sitter for our two large puppy dogs, a 1.5 yo husky mix and a 8 mo GSD. She clearly has a lot of experience and love for animals. Emily was very attentive to my instructions and our dogs warmed right up to her! She was prompt to respond to my texts and sent pictures of the dogs playing. We are all looking forward to having Emily pet sit again soon.”
“Sara was great. She came by a week prior to meet the dogs and figure out what they needed. She gave daily updates and took good care of the dogs and my home. I highly recommend her!”
“Will definitely be using Audrey again! She was great! Was always quick with communication, loved my animals like her own, and was very patient with my animals extra needs. She kept our house in great condition, and even went above and beyond just taking care of the animals.”

“Emily is the best sitter for Benji and our home! She is patient, kind, thoughtful, intentional and brings such a calmness to our home and fur-baby. I know he enjoys the time with her and it gives us such a peace of mind knowing she is here when we need to be away. I would highly recommend Emily.”

About: I've been a pet parent since 2008 and have quite a bit of experience with unique pet health situations and ages. I've had a cat with diabetes requiring 2x a day insulin injections (vetsulin). I am able to dose and administer if need be. I also have had experience caring for a senior dog who required 5 meds daily (2x/day) incl thyroid medicine, gabapentin, piroxicam, omiprazole, and CBD. He had thyroid condition, arthritis, and Transitional Cell Carcinoma (bladder cancer). Lately I've been learning to be a puppy mom! We got Moki at 8 months old in 2020 and now Nova at 3 months old! I'm a self-employed web designer and I am looking for occasional house & pet sitting opportunities where I can work from your place to eliminate the distractions at my own home! All animals I've cared for are rescues ❤️ I love pitties and believe pets are family. I'm self employed and generally available for overnights during the week. With advance notice I can also be available for more extended periods if you want to take a vacation or trip. Weekends are less flexible as my husband is an RV technician who works on weekends and my daughter is home from school. We can talk though and see how we can make it work I care for pets in their home. I am happy to walk your pets on leash, let them run around your fenced yard, sleep in a crate, or sleep in a bed. I believe pets are family and I'm happy to keep your regular routine as much as possible

We live in a great neighborhood with safe roads that I walk on frequently. I’m available when ever you and your pet need me. We live on almost half an acre with a privacy fence for the best pet safety! I have tons of free time since I’m a stay at home mom, we can be busy on the weekends but I can be flexible for the right family! I have a privacy fenced yard and I have a dog door so your pet can come and go as wanted. I can easily crate your dog if preferred at any time.

Food and water are always checked regularly and I always tend to the pet first.
“Anna was awesome. She played with our dogs. She laid down and cuddled with them while watching tv with them. She hugged and kissed them before bed. She maintained our home and made it better than we left it. She’s a sweetheart and a special young lady. Our dogs will miss her. She definitely will be rebooked in the future. Highly recommended”

About: I love help animals and their people. I am a vet tech but not working as one at the moment . I have had dogs,,cats ,snakes,lizards.turtles, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits and a hedgehog (you name the critter I have owned it. I mean I raised 3 sons by myself, we had anything that moved)and can't image life without four footed baby around. I am willing to keep any sort of critter. My Aussies are therapy dogs My main one has passed over the rainbow bridge and is GREATLY MISSED, (she was 14) my current Aussies - I have 2 of them are....Smoke is 4 he started out as a therapy dog ,trained by Mystic and when Mystic died he become my service dog. Voodu is 3, he is a rescue that is working on being a back-up therapy dog/service dog. They are my babies and are very spoiled but also very trained(they are leash, voice and hand signal trained) I am your baby's willing slave if they are trained and well behaved, exceptions made for young puppies that are just learning to behave The dogs go out to play but with me, they are never alone and they stay in the house. My house is hard wood floors in the front rooms (carpet in bedrooms) and completely dog/cat friendly ,your baby is treated the same way at my place as they are at home. If you permit them on the bed they are allowed there here, if you crate I crate, I follow your wishes to the letter, but I will spoil your furry babies very much while they are at my place LOL both inside (playtime feeding breskfast,etc) and outside (potty breaks and playtime).My grown son lives with me and that is why your babies are never alone. I treat your babies like mine as their needs always come first.They are safe in my care always. They go outside as they need or want to. A potty break or play break ends for only 2 reasons 1) the babies all want to go in 2) the weather. Dogs and cats don't do well.with sudden changes in their life,so I try to make their stay here as much like their time at home as possible. I have worked with Rover since early 2000's .....well that is when I started getting paid for letting other people's babies sleep in my place but they always have been welcome to come and stay as long as they like. I have 2 cats that 1) were raised with dogs and 2) will not run from yours. In fact my youngest cat will play with your baby if the dog so wishes.My oldest is a Maine Coon who is king of the house (he loves dogs, being one himself) he will greet your baby then ignore them I used work as a dog trainer for PetSmart in Wilson (which is a 13 minute trip from my home) I no longer work there but I can and will do training with your baby if you would like me to.I do basic obedience or I can work on jumping, barking and recall lt woul depend on what you want train as price but training is never mote than 100 dollars. I am southern born and raised being rude is not allowed in my house at any time or was rudness allowed in any body human or dog. My backyard is fenced with 3 gates (2 of which are padlocked, I have the keys) All furry babies when going on a pottybreak or out for playtime are leashed from the time they go out my back door til they get inside my fenced yard with the gate closed.The return to house is done the same way. It is never more or less than 70.degrees in my house. This is the temperate my babies like best
“Reagan did a fantastic job taking care of Meeko and our house! She sent plenty of updates, and we returned to a spotless house, clean sheets, and a happy healthy dog! We will absolutely use her again!”
“Francesca is awesome! 5 out of 5 would recommend! Having never used this site or a dog sitter I was a little hesitant to let a stranger stay in my home and take care of my dog Stormy, but after meeting Francesca all my concerns were put to rest. She went above and beyond while taking care of Stormy. Daily updates and pictures made it so much easier to relax knowing my girl was getting lots of love and attention. She even got Stormy to eat all of her food which was HUGE! Every time have left town and had friends check on her she hardly eats anything. Francesca will be my number one choice anytime I plan on leaving town again!”
“Christina is the sweetest and our pets love her. Our little dog gets visibly depressed when he can tell we’re leaving, Christina showed up and he didn’t even care anymore. He was just ready to play with her. She is great”

Will definitely be using Audrey again! She was great! Was always quick with communication, loved my animals like her own, and was very patient with my animals extra needs. She kept our house in great condition, and even went above and beyond just taking care of the animals.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of snuggles while we were away. I appreciate your continued communication as well. Matthew apparently needs me to be his emotional support human lol we all joked that I needed an ESA dog but apparently Matthew needs an ESH! 🤣
