My dog Luna has been to daycare with Cesar several times now and she looks forward to going and comes back happy and tired! She loves their dog Jasper and when not playing with him likes to sun herself in his big backyard. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl and sending me pictures and updates throughout the day!

About: Pet sitting/walking is the best occupation, and I enjoy it on a daily basis. I am available to hang out and care for animals 24/7, which makes it perfect for pups or cats that need that extra attention. Rover is my full time job and I absolutely love what I do. I prefer to give dogs their needed exercise or leave them alone if they are feeling lazy. In either case they are always under supervision. Cats are also my specialty as I have been caring for cats my whole life. As a mature pet sitter, I believe it provides a certain level of trust for my clients, they rest assured their loved ones are taken care of by someone who understands. Cheers! :) I am available 24/7 to care for your furry children. I am available any time throughout days and evenings. We are very flexible with scheduling, don’t hesitate to ask for schedule modifications. We do not have fenced in yard but have trails and woods right nearby. W&OD trail is walking distance from my house. We walk daily for at least 3-5 miles, if the pup is excited to do so. We can crate or not. We allow the pups on furniture and treat them like family members.

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including high-energy and more relaxed breeds. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs and adjusting care based on their needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them calm and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just companionship, I make sure they’re well cared for and not left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets can feel at ease. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I make sure dogs are always supervised, kept on a leash during walks (unless in a secure fenced area), and never put in unsafe situations. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

We had a great experience with LaurieBeth, and our pup Max loved her. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and we felt confident leaving him in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure Max was comfortable and well cared for. Most importantly, Max seemed really happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says a lot. It’s obvious he enjoyed his time there. We didn’t have any issues at all and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I have always grown up with a dog in my home and dog sat for many friends and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from quick neighborhood walks to 3-week dog stays, for families on vacation. Since I work from home, your dog with get attention and affection all day. I am also fairly active and would love to care for active dogs that need playtime and long walks. I’m totally comfortable with the 'serious' side of pet care; I’ve fed, bathed, and groomed plenty of dogs, and I’m experienced with administering medications or following specific vet instructions. I’d love to keep your best friend happy, and well-cared for while you’re out! I work from home and love the company of dogs! I love cuddling them and giving attention while I work. I am also an early riser so your dog will be fed and walked atleast twice a day. I am active in the evenings and would love to take active dogs for long walks or playtime. I am also experienced with social dogs and would love to take them to the dog park. Safety is my top priority because I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone new. Before any stay, we'll do a Meet & Greet to ensure everyone is comfortable. Our home is fully pet-proofed, and because we work from home, your dog is under our direct supervision all day. On walks, we stick to familiar trails and always stay on-leash for security. Having cared for sick and older dogs, I’m very comfortable following strict medical schedules and vet instructions. I also keep your vet’s info and an emergency contact on hand just in case. You’ll get plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun (and napping) is happening!

About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a young child. My Bruno (12 lb Biewer Terrier) and my regular daycare friends will keep your pup company - as well as my two attentive and careful children (12 & 9). We will love your pet as if he/she is our own! As a teenager, I raised cockatiels and I volunteered for the Museum of Life and Sciences in Durham, NC taking care of exotic animals of all types and sizes. Now that we have a yard, I've been living my dream of having my own dog (5+ years). It turns out I am great with dogs! • I limit boarding to smaller dog breeds with the rare exception for daycare when I know the family and larger dog plays well. • I work from home, so I will be with them all day. • I have a large fenced-in backyard, where they can get their zoomies out, and go for potty breaks as needed. I go outside a lot, which brings them outside more too (they like to be wherever I am!) • If your dog likes car rides, let me know, he/she can come along for short errands and pickups to and from school. • I can watch other kinds of pets, as long as you can easily transport them to me: Birds, bunnies, etc. using my “cat” rate on Rover. Request a cat boarding and let me know about your pet. • I do not watch cats. We have allergies to them To get started, we will have a meet & greet over video or in person, and book from there. Please let me know: 1. Does your pup has any behavioral quirks to be aware? For example, he won't go potty unless he's on a walk. 2. Any special feeding instructions? 3. Any favorite games? Looking forward to meeting you! I work from home regular 9-5 hours. I take frequent breaks before, during, and after work to feed, potty and exercise our fur buddies. I'm here to let them in and out of our large backyard for frequent breaks and play time. I have a large fenced backyard, with pickets to keep smaller breeds safe. I'm constantly checking that the gates are closed. They can sleep anywhere in our house, and most are comfortable doing so without a crate. When the weather is nice, I'll work on our deck to give them more outside time (because let's face it... these velcro sweeties want to be wherever I am!)

Carmen and Daniel were excellent dog sitters! I needed a sitter for my dog Queen while I was at work. They were so easy to work with and Queen loved her time with them! She was exhausted every night I picked her up because she got to play with their puppy all day. I will definitely bring Queen to them again and recommend them for anyone who needs their baby looked after!!

About: As a dog owner myself, I know it’s hard to trust others to care for your pet. They are not just pets but a valuable member of the family that deserves the utmost care and love. I believe that I can provide that for others. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule so pet care on a daily basis will be easily manageable. Scheduling with me will be easy because of my availability. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your fur baby is comfortable. I can accommodate any sleeping arrangements such as a crate. As for walking, I can take any route that your dog is comfortable taking.

About: Greetings pet lovers! I have much experience with cats and dogs, and have 1 dog myself. I grew up with 2 cats at first, and found myself adding more cats to the family that were found as strays. I've taken care of 6 cats in all when I was younger, and grew up with 2 dogs as I got older. I also have fostered dogs in the past. As a dog owner who raised his furbaby since he was a puppy, I am accustomed to dog training, walking dogs on a regular basis, positive reinforcement, feeding, bathing, and administering medicine that is needed. If your dog just needs a lot of exercise under my care, I'm the guy for you! I enjoy jogging with dogs if they can keep a solid pace. I will walk your dog as needed depending on their energy level. I also frequent various dog parks for my dog to enjoy, and your dog is welcome for the fun! I am very patient and determined to get your pet to feel absolutely comfortable and happy in my care! I am available 24/7 for your pet needs. I currently work from home and have setup a cozy space for your pet if needed to board. 3-4 walks + daily dog park (if permissible by owner) is what you should expect for hosting your dog. I have a dog park and a pet bathing room at my complex and 1 super friendly dog who will keep your pet company! My dog is good with other dogs and cats! He actually likes playing with cats too! I offer a safe, comfortable environment for your pet.
