“Alyssa was so helpful with our dog Atlas. He was excited when he saw her arrive and when he got back from his walks he was always happy and tired. Alyssa was easy to work with, reliable, and friendly. She was self sufficient and helped us in a bind.”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. Back in Texas, I had a hobby farm with cats, goats, chickens, and my lovable dog, Hero.

Now that I’m new to the Outer Banks, I’d love the opportunity to walk your dogs or stop in for house visits with other pets, too. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved. You can feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to answer any questions or concerns before booking to help put your mind at ease. I am currently a stay at home Mom, with school just around the corner I will be kid free with plenty of time to care for your pets! While caring for your pets in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll happily provide updates about the visit—including whether they ate, went potty, and how they’re feeling—along with photos and even our walk route. I can also administer any needed medications, crate them if required, and ensure your home is secure before I leave.

“Benni loves hanging out with Carmen! She is so helpful in adjusting his activity schedule to support his “moods”. Benni has enjoyed walking, beach time, ball toss, toy tugging, and all the TLC. I am comforted knowing Benni is in such caring and loving hands while I am on business travel — and Carmen sends me daily notes and pictures of Benni having fun! I highly recommend Carmen as a care provider/companion for your four-legged family member.”

About: I am a full time dog Mom. I have a 7 year old Corgi rescue. He is my heart. He spent a lot of time in a crate at his former home. His people didn't exercise him much so he became a very lazy boy. I want people to know that there are services available that can help with caring for their pets . I love to walk so I thought Rover would be a great place for me to help others get their pets the exercise they need. Dogs are my passion and I know people that work full time jobs still love their dogs but need help some days. I would love to help your dog get some exercise and love. Thank you

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!

Southern Shores dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla is wonderful! We are so glad we found her. Wonton is still a puppy and has received tons of attention and playtime. Unfortunately, due to our work schedules long walks have not been part of his routine. Kayla has not only filled that void but has also been walking him with other dogs and giving him the socialization that he needs. Most importantly Wonton loves her.
