My dogs loved Francesca C! They enjoyed their walks and I had peace of mind knowing I had an experienced animal lover with my boys. If she is available the next time I need a dog walker, I will contact her first.

About: I have always lived in a dog household- I find myself happiest when around canine friends. I have walked, dog-sat, and generally been around dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I look forward to learning the specific needs of your canine friends, and how to best support them when you are away. I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility on where I work from. Although I am working during the hours of 10 am - 6 pm, I remain open for discussion on needs of your pet. I can regularly step away to take care of pets, as well as house-sit and work from anywhere. Open to catering to your needs! I have experience working with larger dogs with... more assertive walking styles, as well as will pups that are just along for the ride. I love hiking, playing fetch, and always love to work with dogs in enrichment activities with food/treats.

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pups of all ages from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether we’re going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just cuddling on the couch, I’m all in. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own pack because that’s how I’d want mine cared for too. I work part-time at my office in Goldsboro, from nine to one. So I have plenty of time and they’ll never be left alone too long. I’ll care for your animals as I would my own, safety is my number one priority. Walk will always be done with a leash and playtime will always be done in a safe area, if not inside the home.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds. I bring treats to train the dog with simple tricks! I also will care for cats. I currently work a 2-2-3 schedule at a Biotech/Pharmaceutical company where we make the Flu vaccines. It enables me to have a variety of days off where I can do something for extra income! I have a 10x10 dog kennel. I have a super friendly puppy and cat that is harmless. I can put your fur baby in the XL KONG crate I have if needed or even if you want them to be crate trained.

I love taking care of neighbor pets and giving them extra snuggles when their owners are away. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds.

I would love to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have trained as a marathon runner in the past so I love taking animals for walks or runs. This is my only job so I have open availability 7 days a week for help care for your pet, as well as most hours of the day. Safety is always a priority for me.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey. I work full time and have my bachelors in Criminal Justice. I have three wonderful boys, and they love animals just as much, if not more, than I do! We have two loving, awesome dogs and one cat. I have prior pet sitting experience through Rover, and through close friends and family. I also have foster experience. I have love and compassion for animals, and will treat every dog as if they are my own family member. I will give your pet the love and care that it deserves and make sure he or she is well taken care of in my care! I’m currently working full time, but remotely. I can do drop in visits on the weekends, and possibly board during the week/weekend depending on how the animals interact. If a drop in visit during the week is needed, please disclose ahead of time, of the time needed to ensure there will not be a conflict with my full-time job. We do not have a fenced in yard, therefore, they get walked multiple times throughout the day by leash and harness. Because of this, we ensure we find a way to get any energy out by going on a run with them or taking them to a park. We also have a crate to board if needed.

About: I have gotten most of my experience from working at Woodsdale animal hospital and being a pet groomer.{PRICES ARE ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE} I serve the Rougemont, Roxboro, Butner, Hillsborough, Apex, Cary Durham, Raleigh, Nelson, Morrisville, Chapel Hill area and have taken care of many dogs over the years (Pyrenees, Cane Corso, Pitbull, Dalmatians, German shepherd, Siberian Husky and more) and gotten most of my experience from working at Woodsdale vet hospital! I was also a dog groomer at PetSmart and PetSense! I have grooming experience, training experience and most of all a deep love for animals! I offer house cleaning services, doggy deshedding baths, nail grind, and training. I also take Polaroid or mini photos for my returning customers! (refer to photos) I own a dog stroller for disabled doggies and or elderly dogs also. I am also able to carry elderly dogs safely up and down stairs. Petsitting fits into my schedule perfectly due to me doing online school (only have morning classes) which means I have lots of free time to have fun with your doggies. I own three beautiful dogs (pitbull and two chihuahuas) and have a true passion for caring for dogs, especially large dogs (my soft spot) I also offer house cleaning, pet grooming services and plant care for pet parents. How I care for dogs in the pet parent’s home is by starting their day off with a walk, food and then playtime. I give three walks a day, and if allowed I’ll take your dog to a dog park or a trail. Sometimes I do behavior training if asked by the pet parent and or give baths (use deshedding shampoo) at the end of the day if asked. I am able to grind nails and deshed the coat also (have pet grooming experience) so I make sure your fur baby is in tip top shape and happy! As for elderly dogs or dogs with special needs, I am able to carry dogs up and down stairs if needed, I also own a large dog stroller (which is always cleaned and sanitized after every use) for elderly dogs, dogs that pull and dogs with special needs/injuries. They too deserve a nice walk!
