“Rebecca did an amazing job caring for justice. She made sure to cater to her every need, even adjusting times when needed. I usually kennel justice when I go away so this was my 1st time using this type of service and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Rebeccah for taking such good care of my baby and calming my nerves.”
“Amanda is wonderful! I was worried about leaving my cat for the first time since other cat very recently passed away and Amanda put my worries to ease. Lucy was a happy girl and very well taken care of! She is normally shy and testy but even gave Amanda some attention while she was there which is big for her! I would absolutely recommend Amanda and would request her help again!”
“KELLY IS SO AWESOME!!!! MY BABY TRIGGER LOVED HER AND SHE RETURNED SHOWED HIM THAT HE WAS AND IS LOVED... SHE WAS ON TIME AND DID EVERYTHING THAT I ASKED OF HER WHILE TAKING CARE OF MY BABY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS APP AND USING KELLY. SHE WOULD BE THE 1ST PERSON I REQUEST WHEN I NEED THIS SERVICE AGAIN..”
“She took great care of my diabetic cat, Sarah. She needs shots twice a day. Jennifer let me know what her schedule was if there were any minor conflicts where an adjustment might be needed. We have a robot litter box which, of course, malfunctioned while we were out of town. She called and FaceTime with me so we could come up with a solution. (Sometimes those litter boxes seem more trouble than they’re worth???) Came home to a clean house and a happy cat. Thanks Jennifer!!”
About: Hey my names Dakotah ! I have 6 dogs of my own and chickens! I also have a 2 year old! I have a lot of experience with animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, horses and ALOT more I grew up with animals my whole life! Pet care will always fit into my schedule I’m a stay at home mom my husband works law enforcement and is almost never home ! My 2 year old keeps me on my toes but with being out of work for 2 years because I have no child care it’s hard to find a job I can bring her along with me! I have a beautiful new build with a huge fenced in yard ! Also with me being home 24-7 your pup will get to run and enjoy the weather!
About: I have always loved and been around animals my whole life. My grandparents had a mini farm and I would take care of my brother's dog when he would have to work. This care included walking, feeding, and bathing his dog. I also use to work part-time at Adams Farm Animal Hospital in Greensboro NC as a Kennel Attendant and Veterinary Assistant. I'm currently a full-time college student so I'll have time to take care of your pup whenever I don't have classes. I also work as a Dental Assistant Monday through Friday 8am-4pm. I’m still available during the week but I’m available all day all weekend. Though I stay in an apartment there are a lot of areas for your dog and me to go on long walks. My apartment complex also has a dog park. I can also crate your dog if you would like.
About: Spent my entire life around various types of pets (Cats, Dogs, Reptiles) to include a few exotic animals. I have additionally trained all of my own pets through the years through time and repetition. I love animals and treat them as I would any human. They are after all mans best friend (Doesn't just apply to dogs). I am currently Active Duty Military, however I am available most weekends as well as early morning time frames and later afternoon/evenings. Talk to me about what your needs are and more than likely I can accommodate. I have a decent sized yard with 4 friendly and well trained dogs of my own, if your dog were to be at my house. If Not I have the option to bring one of my furry friends for a play date during a check in or whatever may be required. My dogs range from senior to Junior age group (2 years to 11). Communication is key, you tell me what you need or would like to see and I do what I can to accommodate. Quality care for our friends is what I aim to provide.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed simply being in their presence! I adore teaching old and young dogs new tricks and give exceptional care and cater to each individual pet! I also provide additional services such as bathing during the stay! I currently work part time at Ace Hardware. I am looking for a side hustle and have plenty of time to cater to your pet! I have other dogs so I do not offer pets in my home, but I offer exceptional care to dogs in your own home! I can easily put them in a crate as well as feeding them on time and taking them out to potty as needed! I will also spend lots of time with them as I very much enjoy being around animals. I have basic vet knowledge as well and can tell when something is wrong!
About: I have experience working with animals of all breeds/species. I used to work for a boarding/daycare/grooming facility that was also connected to a vets office. I’m familiar with farm animals, dogs, cats, most small pets, and reptiles. I had my own horse for 17 years. Currently I have two German Shepherds who are both 4 years old- so I’m very familiar with working breeds! *I have experience with administering medications and animal first aid* I’m currently a stay at home mom and have full availability. More than likely my son will be with me for drop in visits- but for house sitting, arrangements can be made if necessary! With my two being a working breed we go on a lot of walks, and play a lot of fetch. But they also know how to be couch potatoes! Either way I can follow the lifestyle your pet is used to whether it be cuddles and lounging or going outside to play. I’m all about communication so pictures and daily check ins are something I like to provide!
About: I have been a loving pet owner since the day I was born. Over the years, I have cared for a number of beloved pets, most of which were adopted as strays or from local humane societies. My spouse & I currently have 3 wonderful dogs, 1 cat, 2 mini pigs and 4 chickens (soon to adopt 6 more). I have been through the full life cycle with my loved ones, from training them as puppies to additional care needed as seniors. Every animal I have ever met tends to gravitate to me and I am more than happy to provide attention to every one of them. Hopefully your best friend can become my friend as well. I have recently found myself moving on from my previous employer, of which I dedicated 10 years to as an Operation Manager. As such, I am currently working with a fairly open schedule Mon-Fri to pursue a more fulfilling and enjoyable career path with animals. Our home is fenced for outside play, with an additional fenced area to keep our chickens and pigs separated from our dogs when needed. While not immediately in line with boarding, if the interest is there and a good working relationship is established, I will expand upon services available. Typical care such as feeding, providing water, walking, etc. are all manageable For house visits, any additional services can be reviewed prior to agreement.
About: i’ve taken care of dogs since i was 16 and still in high school. No matter the age of the fur baby i will take great care of them i currently work part time so i am still available to meet your fur babies needs. whether it be going on a walk or boarding, i am your girl i have a big fenced in yard with plenty of play room and a big open living room where your pups can run and play all day long
“Laura is always responsive and does a wonderful job. She takes time to play with our cat, which I know she appreciates. Always leaves plenty of food, water and some treats for our girl. She is the best!”
About: I have had pets since the age of 7, cats and dogs. I love animals of all kinds and would love to care for yours! I have 3 dogs of my own so there isn’t a situation I can’t handle! I currently work full time but could care for your babies on weekends or in evenings. My schedule changes weekly but can always be adjusted! Reach out to me for scheduling details. I offer walking, house sitting, and drop in services! In addition to caring for my own 3 dogs, I have experience caring hunting dogs, working breeds such as german shepherds and belgian malinois, cats, etc. I can do feedings, give baths, hang out with them for a while or just drop in and say hello if your pet is shy.
About: Invite me to your home, and I'll hang out with your dogs more than the humans. I even prefer to sit on the floor with your dogs. At my house, dogs are family. They sit on the couches and sleep in my queen size bed. They have the freedom to run the house and the yard. I work from home. I'm always home and enjoy the company of dogs. My dog and I are best friends, so I only leave my house to shop for food and necessities, such as Kevin's homemade dehydrated chicken breast strips (treats)! I have a fenced in yard and a covered deck. My dog goes in and out as much as he wants. He enjoys sitting in the sun or squirrel watching from the deck. Inside the house, dogs are free to run the whole home and nap on the couches or the bed. In my home, dogs are treated better than humans! Fetch is played inside and outside!
“Our cat was well taken care of. Carolyn came on the days scheduled and gave fresh food, water and clean the litter box. Our cat was fine when we returned home. Carolyn did a great 3!”
About: For at least the past 3 or 4 years, I have dog sat for a family that goes on vacation for a week during the 4th of July. During that time, I enjoy the time of the pups and we have endless fun. We go on walks and spend time outside running around. After being outside, we go inside for a good snuggle. Recently, my friend found kittens and rescued them after they had been harvested in peanuts. While she goes to work I watch them, feed them, and play with them. As kittens they have to be bottle fed and manually assisted in using the restroom. I am capable of doing both as I have had to tend to those sweet babies. I promise i'll take care of your pet and we'll share lots of fun times!

Tarheel cat parents share their Rover experiences
Our kitty was so grateful for having Laura come in and care for her. By the end of the three drop in visits our kitty , who is very reserved around unfamiliar people, was playing with Laura. Laura did all the tasks we asked of her and also grabbed some packages and put inside! She was great!
