About: I have had all the kinds of pets one could imagine, from dogs and cats to turtles and hamsters. I just recently got a puppy, golden retriever, who I have been training on the regular with commands and off leash walking. Throughout my time of growing up I have had to take care of multiple animals of different ages. My dog Dottie recently passed away at the age of 14, so I do have experience with geriatric dogs to say the least. I have also had practice taking care of multiple different breeds of dogs including but not limited to Yorkies, German Shepards, and Cocker Spaniels. I grew up with a mother who loved cats, so as one might imagine I know a thing or two about them. Cleaning the litter is somewhat of an everyday task for me. With that being said I have also had experience pet sitting for someone before who owned two guinea pigs, four rats, four cats, and a bearded dragon. I am currently a full-time student at Virginia Tech but most of my evenings are free and I do have breaks in between my classes. I also have a dog of my own so anytime a dog needs play time I would be more than welcome to take them to the dog park. I am back in Durham for winter break and have nothing to do but care for your pets needs and desires! I have a dog who is crate trained and a backyard at my apartment complex along with a dog park in my apartment complex. I also having a walking trail around my apartment complex that is approximately a mile long that I like to walk my dog on. I do also have a tether in my backyard that I can hook a dog up to if there is a required amount of outside time

“Cynthia is fond of all animals. She has a connection with them as if they can communicate using mental telepathy. I have been in her home many times and her pets love her and she loves them! She is an excellent choice to care for your pet family. I highly recommend her for not only for caring and loving all animals but she is such a good person and I would trust her with anything!”

“I definitely recommend Carolina as someone to watch for pets. I’ve had her watch my Pit-bull and 2 cats while I was away for a work trip and was sent updates throughout my time away. I leave them with her all the time and they love her! She works well under pressure and knows what to do in case of any emergencies, Carolina is definitely the way to go!”

“Brittanie watched my two cats, Salem and Frank, for four days, and she was fantastic. She communicated often and thoroughly, gave the boys plenty of attention, and looked after my apartment well. Beyond that, she was professional and sweet. I will definitely ask Brittanie to look after the boys again in the future!”

“She takes care of my pets when I was gone on trips to Belgium. She walk my dog sunshine and took care of my cat called chubby. With her being cook don’t need worry if you want her make food fresh she will do that.”

About: I have owned animals my whole life. I have also worked in veterinary medicine for almost 10 years. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have worked in General Practice as well as ER/ICU. I also operate an animal rescue in which I take in animals in need of medical care and once the animal is healthy, find adopters. I have taken care of numerous animals during my career. I have exceptional knowledge of medical management for animals needing medical care, medications, injections, etc. I currently work as an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician) part time. I operate my rescue every day of the week. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me several opportunities during the day/night to provide drop ins to a clients home for walks, medications, etc. I am typically home most of the day so animals staying in my home will have frequent access to the yard and attention from me I have a fenced in yard and a separate entrance and indoor space for pet sitting within my home. I have a finished basement with cat trees, dog toys, couches, etc to make guests staying within my home feel comfortable. Currently, I only have space for one client’s pets at a time to ensure all pets get along and are safe together. Guest within my home will not have access to my own personal pets.

“Our pup feels so lucky to have Lindsay as his new friend for walks! She is caring, professional, and thoughtful about checking in. We are grateful :)”

“I recommend Viridiana not only as a responsible and loving dog caretaker but also as a nurturer and teacher. Viridiana has taken well care of my own dog multiple times and on many different occasions and after I have found my dog have more positive habits and is more noticeably happier. In my opinion she is a natural at caring for dogs, she is able to read and understand them very quickly. If she is caring for your dog rest assured they're in very good and capable hands.”

About: I can’t remember a time without a dog by my side. I've had Great Danes, Boxers, Dobermans, Dalmatians, and hound dogs throughout my life. A few years ago, I adopted a cat, and while I'm newer to caring for cats, I'm just as dedicated to providing them with love and attention. In my home, dogs and cats are family. Let us provide your pets with a comfortable, loving environment — their home away from home. Please don’t ask to communicate outside of the rover app. I will report it. I work full time from home. I do leave for two hours during the day to take my child to school. I can walk dogs anytime they need it. I have a child 6-12 years of age. I have a boxer, a Dalmatian, and an indoor outdoor cat. Dogs and cats are free to rome the home. Crates are welcomed if owner believes it is necessary. I can adhere to feeding schedules and potty breaks. I have cared for an elderly dog who recently passed away.

Her calm and friendly demeanor puts pets at ease, and she takes the time to understand each animal’s personality and preferences. Delia’s passion for animals, combined with her excellent communication and professionalism, makes her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Your furry friends will be in the best hands with her!”

“I have known Brette for years and in this time she has taken care of my animals many times. She lets me know when she thinks something is wrong or if they’re doing great while in her care. She always kept me updated and sent pictures. I definitely recommend her!”
