“Amber was super sweet. She did an amazing job with my dog! I would use her again in a heartbeat! She gave my dog lots of rubs and back scratches. He loved her and you could tell. Thanks for taking such good care of my dog and my little girls fish cupcake! We appreciate you and everything you did for us! Amber is very good about communicating. Was always on time and very flexible on such short notice. We are very grateful we found her! We will use her for any future trips we take! She is very good about sending pictures and updates. 10/10 the best!”

“Jamey has been really great with my dog Roscoe who can be very fearful and anxious about strangers/strange dogs/strange objects. She is always very thorough in letting me know how he does and goes above and beyond to take care of him.”

“Elissa was fantastic with my two teenage kittens with oodles of energy. She updated me daily and everything went so smoothly. I can't thank her enough for allowing me to relax knowing my pets were being taken care of so well at home.”

About: I have boarded Goldens Retrievers, Husky mixes, German Shepherd and Malinois in the past. I have also recued cats. I have experience with newborn puppies and basic training.

“I am so lucky my first experience using Rover was with Jessica! I am very protective of my dogs and leaving them in the hands of someone I just met made me nervous, but I soon learned that I had absolutely nothing to worry about! The updates and pictures made the overall experience wonderful. The entire process was simple and knowing someone who loves animals as much as I do was caring for my dogs was awesome. I will definitely allow Jessica to care for my babies again and I will absolutely tell all my friends about her!”

“This was our first time using rover and we would like to thank Jessica K for being so good to the dogs. We were very nervous at first due to hearing bad reviews about rover but Jessica made sure were comfortable and the dogs immediately like her when she came for meet and greet. Throughout our trip Jessica sent photos of the boys to us and that made us relax on our vacation. We will definitely book Jessica again. Thank you again for taking care of the dogs and making sure we didn’t have to worry about them on our trip. We appreciate you.”

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 am a retired teacher and dog Momma of four furbabies. I've been a dog Momma for over 30 years. My love for animals, especially dogs, runs deep. I've cared for small dogs, like my tea cup Yorkie, and large dogs, like my Siberian Husky who weighs over 100 lbs. I'm known for spoiling my dogs with lots of love and I'll spoil yours too. I've recently left teaching and have a very flexible schedule. I am available with prior notice, full time, any day of the week. I'm a grandmom so I'm even available on Holidays. In caring for your pets I will follow all feeding instructions, make sure fresh water is available in clean bowls and I will make sure to show them affection and playtime.
“Emily was awesome! She did such a great job taking care of our precious kitty. Our kitty warmed up to her instantly and I know appreciated the company while we were away. Emily, also, even went above and beyond and moved some boxes in that got delivered from our baby registry that I know were not light. She is very communicative, sweet, and I would book her again in heartbeat next time we go out of town.”


“Everything went well, Emily is great. A real good thing to know we wouldn’t have to worry about our cat while we were gone. Emily got back to us immediately when we sent the request and that was absolutely crucial as time was running out. Good experience overall”

“Megan is so great with our two Great Danes. She always makes sure to update us with pictures and what the dogs get up to. She has really helped us out and is so flexible with scheduling which I sincerely appreciate. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Nicole was a great dog sitter. We didn’t have to worry about our babies. She made sure they were safe and sent pictures of our babies at every walk. We appreciate her and we definitely appreciate not having to worry about our babies on our anniversary trip. We will definitely book Nicole in the future again thank you Nicole.”

I currently work swing shift so my availability is not consistent, but please feel free to reach out to me for availability!! I am a recent graduate of NCSU with a Bachelor in Animal Science.

I also have experience attending and graduating a veterinary technician school program. I currently work full time Monday-Friday. I do live on base, so I am able to do multiple check ins and potty breaks throughout the day I no longer accept un-neutered dogs. Please do not request services if your male dog is not neutered. Photo/video updates will be given throughout the stay. I can crate your dog(s) if needed. I can also take them to the dog park at my apartment complex if needed.
