Pet Sitting Rocheport

About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.

“Anna took excellent care of our pets while we were away for 12 days. I can highly recommend her as a sitter if you can’t take them with you !”

“Lana is always amazing with our dogs. She gives them so much love and attention while we were away. She even asked if we needed the garbage out and took our packages in. She made us feel so at ease while on vacation”

“Leah took wonderful care of Winston and Bentley. She even went the extra mile by collecting eggs from our chickens. We’ll definitely be using her again!!!”

About: I am a band director August-May so being a teacher is my main job. Although I love it, I work for Rover as a summer funds supplement. I’ve held temporary jobs that had little to no personal meaning but getting the opportunity to spend time caring for animals seems to give it a bit more of a purpose, which I enjoy. Looking forward to meeting your fur family! My daily routine is very relaxed in the summer because I’m off as a teacher. My family is home most days other than the occasional summer outing. We have 4.5’ fenced in big yard that will allow your dog to run freely. We also live in a quiet neighborhood and have the ability to go on leashed walks whenever we like.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or a safe place to stay, I'm committed to providing the same love, attention, and patience I'd give my own pets. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'm happy to care for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I'm comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout each visit. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while giving you confidence that they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I am currently in between jobs, so my schedule is completely open to taking care of your fur baby while you are away. You’re dog will get plenty of attention while in my care. I have one playful, loving fur baby of my own to keep yours entertained. Can be crated if you prefer while i’m away from home. Will always have the option to water, food, toys, play time/outside time.

“I had to leave my senior pups for the first time with someone who is not my mom or spouse, and I couldn't be more lucky after meeting Taylor, who cared for my pups with the same love, patience and care as I would. Thank you for giving me peace of mind by not only for tending to my babies, but for actually caring for them and me, as well as understanding how important it was for me to know they would be okay. I would give you all stars if there wasn't a cap of 5. Thank you!!”

About: I am a dog lover through and through. I’m a proud “step mom” of my fiancé’s Shiba Inu, Charlie, but at this point I really consider him my dog too. He is an absolute angel and I love to give him lots of walks, take him to the dog park (he is healthy and vaccinated!), give him lots of pets, and the occasional treat! Other than watching Charlie, I have dog sat for a few family friends, and I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter by walking the dogs and cleaning their stalls. I work from home full-time. I have 8 hour days that I’ll be tied to work, but your dog can hang with me nearby when he or she wants the company! In the evenings and free time I am able to walk or play with your dog, and give them the attention they need. I live in a Condo with a small screen in porch. Our dog, Charlie, is super good around other dogs! He is a medium sized shiba inu and is somewhat reserved, but also super patient with overly friendly dogs. I keep a clean house and will ensure a safe environment for your dog’s stay. Charlie is a big runner and will take off if he finds any way out, so I’m super conscious to make sure any dogs who stay with me stay within the home! To go outside, I’ll have to walk your dog around our area on a leash.

About: I have my own kitten, Gwyneth, who is my pride & joy! I have grown up around my parents dogs of all sizes & ages. I have experience with pet sitting & walking through my friend’s & family’s pets. I am detail oriented, communicative, understanding & outgoing! I am insured for pet care services to provide extra peace of mind :) I am currently working full time but will be starting grad school soon in the summer. My schedule may change depending on each semester but I am flexible & will keep my calendar and times up to date. I am detail oriented and will follow directions for how you like to maintain your home & your instructions for your pets. Unfortunately I cannot watch extra pets at my own home.

About: I have grown up with 2 cats my entire life and have been around dogs of many different sizes and ages for as long as I can remember. I have done multiple shifts of overnight stays and drop-in visits with various cats and dogs. These families have relied on me to take their dogs for walks, feed them, give them medicine, and ensure they are safe, happy, and comfortable. I recently moved to Cary, so I am looking to fill my time early mornings, around lunch time, and late afternoon. Each week looks slightly different, but I am pretty flexible in scheduling when given early notice! Growing up, my pets were my top priority. We had a fenced-in yard and made sure we knew where the animals were at all times. To ensure this, my family and I communicated with each other if the pets were either inside or outside and if outside, we made sure someone had an eye on them almost always. In the client's home, I will guarantee that the pet will never be left out of sight. I will create checklists/to-do lists individual for each pet that ensures I do not miss any important step when caring for your animal!

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

“Shannon is awesome with our dog!”

About: I've been a technician assistant for 6 years and am a current 2nd year vet student. In clinics I was able to medicate and administer different treatments based on the doctors recommendation. I am a full time vet student so my hours may vary. I see caring for your pets as as an honor and responsibility. If I take a shift I aim to honor it. I'm willing to help out and check in on your pets if needed. I'm able to feed, take outside to use the restroom, and medicate your pets if needed. Please let me know if additional care for your pet is needed so I can see if it is a task I am able to complete.
