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: A dog is truly Mans Best Friend. I do have a kind heart, and I love for animals. I would treat your baby as my own. I have been around animals for the most part of my life. Just this past year two my dogs (Shakee Biton age 15 and Casper Coton de Tulear age 16.5) have crossed over to the rainbow bridge. Snowball (Bichon age 17) is still with me and just loving fife. Snowball loves going for car rides to the local country store for a hotdog. She also loves her daily neighborhood walks. She has 27 sister Hens, tow Roosters and for baby chicks. I administered all oral medications for my animals. I have open availability. I just recently left my job to work for myself. With the experience and love I have for animals I feel that I am where I need to be. I have four acres that is fenced in. If I am providing services in your home I will follow what you want for the care and need of your fur baby.

I work from home so I am always avaliable for your pets needs. My husband is also helpful with pet care so they will be well taken care of. We live in a 1650 sqft home and a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. We are happy to adapt our home for your pets needs durring their stay.
“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!”
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: 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’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
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: 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!
“We had a wonderful experience with Amber for our first time ever leaving our dogs to to attended to by someone other than family. She provided up with updates on her visit and pictures/videos daily. One of our dogs is slower to make new friends, and it was so sweet to see the progress he made during the week becoming friendly with Amber. Seeing my dogs were in such great hands definitely put my mind and heart at ease while we were gone. We will definitely look to use Amber again in the future when needed!”
“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!”

James C.Star Sitter
“Do not hesitate at the “New to Rover.” James may be new Rover, but he’s not new to animals or expert animal care. Self-admittedly, I was a bit nervous to contact James only because he was new to Rover - but all it took was one conversation to put me at total ease and want to work with James. James is very caring, loving, attentive, thoughtful, supportive, flexible, dependable, accommodating, professional, and has a great love for all types of animals. James is very respectful of ground rules, great at communication, provides updates via lots of photos, and ensures pet’s individual needs are met. My experience: I booked James to help with my terminally ill cat, Buddy. I needed immediate daily drop-ins over a period of several weeks and reached out to several Rover Sitters. None were open to the long-term commitment except James. James responded to my query expeditiously, took time to hear what was going on with Buddy, came and did a meet and greet the same day, and adjusted his own schedule to start drop ins the very next morning! The prompt response, willingness to help on such short notice and accommodate and commit to such a lengthy timeframe, did not go unnoticed and I cannot express how much of a peace of mind it provided to me as a fur baby owner. James’ commitment to animals was evidenced even more when Buddy’s needs required upping visits to twice daily on a very short notice (starting the next morning after informing James). Despite the short notice and having a full-time job (Active Duty Military at that!), family, and pets of his own to take care of - James sorted his own schedule around just to ensure Buddy was taken care of. James took care of Buddy as if he was his own furbaby. He cared not just for Buddy’s physical health, but also Buddy’s mental health. James even took the initiative (without any payment from me) to come spend some quality time with Buddy in an effort to become a familiar face for Buddy and increase Buddy’s level of comfort around James. This is “service,” no, it’s CARE that goes above and beyond. Even weeks after service ended, James still occasionally texts (he asked me if it was okay to do so first, which is so considerate and thoughtful) to check-in on Buddy. James has even provided advice and served as emotional support for us in regards to Buddy, at zero cost! The effort James put in during visits and on his own dime/time is beyond admirable and shows James truly cares deeply for animals. We feel as if though we didn’t hire a sitter for Buddy, but instead found a life-long friend of Buddy’s. My recommendation: If you’re looking for someone to take care of your furbabies, rest assured, they will be in great hands with James and will be taken care of with a level of care that amounts to as if they were James’ own.”

Shane P.
“I am pleased to recommend Shane Peavy for your organization. As Shane's partner for 7 years, and knowing him for over 10 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand his exceptional care for our pets, including dogs, cats, pigs, chickens. He goes above and beyond in ensuring our animals are well-fed, healthy, and happy. What truly sets Shane apart is his natural empathy and instinctive understanding of animals’ needs. He is patient, reliable, and proactive in addressing any changes in behavior or health, and he consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and willingness to learn. I am confident that Shane would be a valuable asset to your team and a compassionate, dedicated caregiver for the animals in your care.”
