“Kristen was great! She took good care of our girls and alerted us when they knocked over their treats from the counter and ate a bunch. Thanks for looking after them!”
“I've never used a pet sitting service before and had some reservations about doing so. The Rover app was recommended by a trusted family member and I chose Alexander based on his excellent reviews. I was immediately at ease after his meet and greet before we needed to leave town. I couldn't be happier with our experience!!! Alexander was consistently very responsive with excellent communication prior to our trip and graciously welcomed my worried mom check list for each of our critters. We received detailed daily reports on each pet with lots of reassuring observations and individual attention for each pet. I highly recommend booking with Alexander! We will absolutely book with him for future visits!!!”
“Marissa was great! She checked in our kitty twice while we were gone and from the picture he looked happy to have company. She was very flexible too with all our apartment rules and difficulties over the holidays. Our kitty was in great hands while we were away.”
About: My family raised me to love and respect animals of all kinds.. but I am not a fan of the reptile family (sorry!). I helped train a family dog during my high school years and became a foster mom/adoption advisor for a rescue in 2006. I have helped about 30 dogs find their furever homes! Personally, I have 5 dogs and 2 cats in heaven, and 3 dogs here with me now. I do provide pet sitting services for friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, and furry caged critters (i.e. guinea pigs, bunnies). I am experienced with dogs of all ages (puppy to senior) and varying temperaments (i.e. fearful puppy mills rescues, timidity with hearing/sight challenges, incontinence) and use positive reinforcement for training. I am currently unemployed, but have worked remote since 2020. I am out and about almost daily throughout the week, but usually not away for more than 6 hours at a time. NC state law prevents unlicensed daycare or paid boarding in private homes. See www(dot)ncagr(dot)gov (slash)divisions (slash)veterinary (slash)aws for more information. When providing drop-in services, I will do my best to honor the requests of the pet parents.
About: I have raised my sweet cat Sneaky since she was a kitten, as well as my dog Mabel since she was a puppy. I have had Sneaky for 7 years, and Mabel for 5. They are my life! I also have some grooming experience, so I am familiar with animals in a professional setting as well. I currently work for Instacart and attend NC State University. I'll be able to take care of your pets any time I'm not in school! I will care for your pets to your exact specifications and keep them great company! I am available for walks, drop ins, and some house sitting!
“Vanessa stole my Tasso's heart!!! She was fabulous! I could not believe the photos AND videos that she sent me. She cast magical spells on the wee chap and caused him to appear like a professional doggy model. I wish I could post the photos Vanessa sent and include the very detailed updates throughout the day of her interaction with my Norwich Terrier. Vanessa simply spoiled my dog and was very indulgent with Mr. Biscuit our fat cat!! I will always book Vanessa first and foremost!”
About: We have 4 dogs, a longhair chihuahua who we rescued when he was young, a chowchow mix whom we rescued from the woods as a puppy, and 2 great white pyranese who are primarily outside as guardian dogs. We absolutely love pets! They are our babies and will treat yours the same way! Growing up, we have always had dogs in the household and I wouldn't see it any other way . I have dog sat for multiple families. They are always supervised when together and separated when we run an errand. I've never run into any issues - most of them love all of the socialization! It's so much fun!! I am a stay-at-home mom and will be home full-time taking care of your babies as well as mine! We have lots of love and snuggles to go around! I look forward to hearing from you soon! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me! Thanks so much for checking out my profile! We live on 15 acres and have chickens, guinea fowl, and pigs. We keep them separated from all of the dogs that come visit. Our backyard is now fenced so there's a fenced area for our guests to run around! We also have a lot of dog toys here, so please try to resist bringing toys for your fur babies, I will worry they will get lost! ** My hours are approximately 6am-9pm. If you need to pick up or drop off later/earlier than that, we can discuss.** *if you refer someone to me and it ends in a completed stay, you will receive 1 free night stay for one of your dogs* I'm home full time so we will mostly be here with your fur baby. If we do leave for a playground or errand it's for a short time. I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
About: I have taken care of animals off and on since I was seven years old. I love animals and have had many - in my childhood home I have three dogs and two cats. I have one cat right now but I plan on getting more animals in the future. I love large dogs to tiny ones. Because of my schedule I cannot have a dog of my own - which is why I would love to care for yours when you are busy. This is my way of having a dog when I can't due to school and other responsibilities. It is the closest I can get right now so I would be honored to care for your furry family members. I work from home and my work schedule is flexible so I have the ability to decide when I work and when I do not work. I would love to keep your furry companion company, I have not lived with dogs in a couple of years and I do miss it so they will have my complete attention.
About: I am a true animal lover. I have had pets my entire life (50+ years!!). I also volunteer at animal shelters and rescue organizations. I have saved animals lives...ask me about Luciano!. I know how much we love our pets and to many of us, they are our family and mean the world to us. That is how I would describe myself as well. I'm very trustworthy and responsible. If I make a commitment to care for your family member(s), I will give them TLC as if they were my own. If I had the ability, I would have my own sanctuary. I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns. I currently have almost open availability to care for your cherished pets. I can care for other animals as well, including lizards, snakes, fish, birds, bunnies, chickens, even pet rodents! Your pets safety is of upmost concern to me. I will follow whatever guidelines and preferences you have. Written information is helpful. I am extremely trustworthy.

(Chihuahua, shitzu, pitbull, German shepherd)My inside dogs are trained to not use the bathroom in the house, have full access to water and food as they please, so I have experience with big and small dogs. I make sure my babies have jackets or boots on depending on the weather outside! Their Paws are very sensitive so I think about small things like that!
“Rhiannon was great with our four fur babies! She sent us a report after every drop in visit with photos! It helped us to have a much better time with our family, knowing that they were in such great hands! She obviously has experience with animals, and it appeared they were all very happy with her from the photos. We will definitely use her again. Sincerely, The Peeks Oxford, NC”

She also assists our groomer who is also wonderful. My youngest cocker is quite anxious but now is absolutely fine to go to the groomer because she trusts them.”
