About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines.  Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch.  However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

About: My family has had dogs, cats, lizards, and fish all 22 years of my life. Even when I moved out of my parents' home, I loved having animals around including my oldest dog, Chubaka, who passed this May at the ripe age of 14. Animal care has always been a passion of mine and I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies! As a fair warning, my availability will be changing on August 23rd as I will be returning to my full time job as a Teacher to prepare for the new school year! With summer break upon us, I am fully available any day of the week at all times. Once late August hits, I will be available every Friday in the evening, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. Whether you need me to play, feed, or walk with your fur-baby outside at a park, a fenced yard, or inside, I am more than capable of taking care of your pets every need.

About: I've had three dogs. All of whom have since passed away. One passed at the age of 11 the other two were 14 and 15. Rescued one of them at the age of three months the other two were between one and a half years old and three. Have delt with puppy training , rescue behaviors, senior dogs and assisted with birth. They were all house trained and knew basic commands like, high five (paw), sit, stay, down, and crate by me. I'm retired right now so I have time to do what I love. My last two dogs passed away earlier this year. I know how hard it is to have to leave your fur babies at home alone and want to help others. My dogs were always inside and supervised when outside never took them to dog parks, but did take them for walks in the park. I would do the same when taking care of my client's fur babies.

About: Ive taken care of animals for 2 year at a dog daycare, friends and family have relied on me, to walk, feed and bathe their pets… I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding on weekends, and on weekdays anytime I have a fenced in mini barn and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed…

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, medication, or quiet companionship. I’m working toward becoming a certified dog trainer, I approach every pet with patience and curiosity. I care deeply about understanding each animal’s individual behavior, needs, and personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking summer classes remotely and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am available at various times throughout the day. I’m home for the summer and primarily serve Trinity and surrounding areas. During the school year, I attend college in Charlotte and offer pet care services in that area as well. I also have a senior golden retriever who keeps me on my toes with regular walks and fresh air breaks, so I understand the importance of consistent routines and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your furry friend in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I closely follow any routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels right at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, with regular updates so you always know how they’re doing

“Megan continues to go above and beyond every week when she walks both of my dogs. She keeps them safe and truly treats them like her own dogs. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have owned/cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, ducks and turkeys. I enjoy animals and give them love, attention and affection as they need. I’m looking for occasional schedule. This allows me to pet sit your babies at your home or in my home during the week and weekend. I have an unfenced yard but lots of room for your animal to walk, run or relax. Plenty of shaded areas and pup pools too.

About: Never feel guilty again for leaving your pup home, while you’re at work bringing home the bacon! Rest easy on your vacation, long day (or night!) at work, or whatever the case may be: I’m always here for you. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I've had dogs all my life; I am very comfortable with all the different breeds of dogs. Throughout my childhood, I usually had anywhere between 2 to 3 dogs at any given time; at this point in my life I have two pets of my own. My oldest dog is a 5 pound Yorkshire Terriers named Denim age 10+. My second dog is a 10 pound Maltese Poodle named Windsor age 3+. I have a lot of help and support from my boyfriend Michael when it comes to taking care of our pups, so expect a dynamic duo when it comes to your pets. I am currently enrolled in college and I am actively working on finishing my second Associates’ degree in Interior Design, graduation date Spring 2020. From there I plan on finishing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior Architecture expected graduation date 2022. I am a very active person I go on long walks, hikes, jogs, and runs so your dog will be perfect company for me. We can go on leashed walks throughout Lake Thom-A-Lex Park or throughout my residential neighborhood. When staying at my house your dog will get plenty of tender, love, and care. They will have oodles of attention and fun. My goal is to tire them out so when it’s time to go home to you their ready for bed. I work from home so I will provide 24-hour supervision to your dog. I appreciate active communication and will provide regular updates and feedback on your pet. I welcome the same. I am a very responsible person, who is very reliable and understanding, I will accommodate the specific needs of both you and your dog. Working with Rover I have had the opportunity to care for an even greater variety of fur babies. I understand that dogs are part of your family and I would love to care for them as if they were part of my own. I have experience with dogs losing their sight and hearing.

About: My family has always had cats and dogs but we have also owned chickens and ducks. I trained all 3 of my dogs and have even had friends ask to help training their dog (basic obedience training). I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your babies. Monday and Tuesday I am always available. Wednesday and Thursday I am usually available all day if not, I am only available anytime before 3pm. Friday and Saturday I am available anytime before 3pm. I’m usually unavailable on Sundays When house-sitting I will regularly take them out in order to use the potty and make sure they always have fresh clean water. I’ll also make sure they are fed accordingly. When walking I will take them on long walks to ensure all your pups energy is being used. Lastly throughout the whole time I will provide lots and lots of love.

About: I have multiple years of in house boarding, leashed walking, and boarding kennel experience. I love to run and am available to take the most active doggos of 5k jogs, guaranteed to get out all of that energy and have the best naps after. I've cared for toy to extra large breeds as well as puppies and senior pets. I have a rescue pittie named JoJo, so bully breeds are my favorite, but any day caring for an animal is a great day! I am self employed and live a nomad lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pets that need more attention and care. I also offer running with your pet, best for high energy doggos. Having your pet stay in their home while you are away is the best way to keep them happy and at ease. I attend to their routines just as you do and ensure you have plenty of updates of how they are.

About: I've been watching family and friends pets since i was 13 and animals all tend to like me. I'm going to school to be a vet tech and i take so much joy in playing and hanging out with any and all animals. I don't currently have a job so all my attention and time can go to your pets! I do start school in august but even then i will be available everyday except for tuesdays and thursdays. i don't have a fenced in backyard but it is pretty spacious so if your pet likes to run they will enjoy it! i have an in ground leash that is long enough for them to run around all they like.

I am available to take care of your babies. I currently have two dogs and cats of my own. I will watch them closely and make sure they are well taken care of . I always make sure I know what they are doing.

About: Hi, I’m Haley! I’m 23 years old. I helped my mom for about 3-4 years with her dog breeding business so I know a lot about dogs. I’ve helped from delivering puppies to administering medicine and everything else you could think of. I grew up having goats, chickens, and a pig. I’m just a big animal lover! I feel comfortable watching a dog or cat of any age. It would be a pleasure to watch your fur-baby! Thank you for the consideration, have a nice day! I am open any day to watch your pets. The only reason I wouldn’t be available is if I’m out of town, or I’m taking a personal day. I will take them out several times throughout the day to potty and get some exercise. Water will be left out and food will be given at the times the owner desires. I do know general first aid for a dog, if they get injured.

About: What sets me apart is most of my animals are rescues that I took in under my wing just like I would your fur baby while your away. I have three dogs and one cat and they are my whole world my day is better when i’m with my animals and I would love to be the one watching yours. I am currently on summer break from East Carolina University, back in my sweet hometown Trinity Nc, My schedule is completely open everyday and I would love to be the one you call to watch your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard for our animals and they all sleep in my room! I walk my dogs and take them on road trips all the time to keep them happy!

“I came into town for work and needed a walker on short notice. After contacting Shannon and having the initial meet and greet, she agreed to take Staynz for his walk while I was at work. She was on time and Staynz enjoyed getting out of the hotel room especially since we were in a strange area to him. I recommend Shannon to anyone that is looking for someone who will care for your pet and most of all be reliable on short notice.”
