“Megan was amazing with our Atlas! I had a family emergency out of state so I did an introduction and then Megan walked Atlas for 3.5 weeks while my husband worked. She was reliable, accept my last minute requests as I had to extend my trip multiple times, and even brought her son to play with Atlas since they became best friends at the introduction!”

About: I've had pets all my life, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. I have experience caring for chickens & lizards as well. I have fostered puppies also. My animals are part of my family & I will look after yours in the same way & with the same love. I am a stay-at-home Mom. Your pet will have lots of attention and love. I have dogs also so your pup can make a friend. I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to play with your furbaby. My living room is gated off if your pup needs separate attention.

About: I have taken care of several senior dogs and senior cat. I had a blind and deaf dog that wore diapers that I took care of for a year until they passed from a stroke. I would take care of your pets like I took care of my babies. I love animals and knowing they are taken care of and they are happy makes me happy. I recently retired so I have an open schedule to dog or cat sit. I can walk your pet daily or stay overnight, if needed. I have a boxer/Pitbull, which is my morning walking buddy. I would take care of your pet like I take care of my sweet baby.

About: I am a huge dog person i will love on your little puppers all day if I have to. I have other dogs at home of my own and loves to play with other dogs. I make sure there is food and water laid down for my dog all day espailly the water. She is trained to tell me when she has too use the bathroom and paws at the door. So I let her out to use the bathroom. I make sure they have there play time becouse they are high in energy dogs. We have a pool and they like to jump in and swim in the pool. There is plenty of yard outside I am even willing to go to dog parks to let them play so they get use to other doggos

About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.

About: I have been a trusted caregiver for over 5 years. Nothing brings me more joy than taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you need someone to walk, feed, bathe or just check on them throughout the day, I’m here to help. I’m currently working as a nanny four days a week 9-5 and I’m looking to occupy my free time this summer and earn some extra money. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats at home so I understand the importance of a tight feeding schedule and providing specific care for each animal as an individual.

About: We love our fur babies... as a family whose always had fur kiddies caring for and raising dogs has been a part of our lives since childhood. We currently work from home. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me with any questions or care needs you wish to discuss. We look forward to getting to know you and your pet. We have a fenced in yard and two very well socialized dogs who love to play. We have a very walkable neighborhood and green space nearby.

About: I am available for pet-sitting and dog-walking in the Rutherford County Area! I grew up on a small farm, and lived with dogs and cats all my life. I currently am the pet parent to one spoiled Netherland Dwarf rabbit named Patchouli, and I help my parents care for their three dogs, three cats, and two goats. In the past, I have worked at a doggy daycare/kennel, a pet vaccination clinic, and have volunteered at two veterinary clinics and a wildlife rehabilitation center. I currently work a part time job, and I can easily fit in petsits, drop-ins, and walks in my off time. I can complete petsits with animals that require more full time care (e.g. cannot be left alone for 8+ hours) but I will need at least a two weeks notice and my sitter prices will double to compensate for the wages I would essentially be losing. I am very attentive to pets' body language and signals. I am very gentle with pets and consistently allow them time to get to know me and feel comfortable. I will request information about each pet's comfortablity with other humans, pets, and separation from owners, and plan accordingly.

“Sophie spent the day there. Heaven was very pleasant, and the home had a dedicated doggy play room as well as a fenced yard. I would not hesitate to leave Sophie here again for a day or overnight.”

About: I got the privilege to work at McDowell County Animal Shelter and my passion for animals helped me land my other job as a doggy daycare attendant in Wilmington. Alongside my employments I got the opportunity to pet and home sit for friends and family for the past few years. My experience with animals and caring , walking and feeding them makes me skilled to provide the best care possible. Pets need care and attention to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. They need healthy food; clean, fresh water; and a comfortable place to sleep. Most pets also require regular exercise to stay fit. With my schedule I will be able to provide service everyday of the week to make sure your pet is happy! My clients have said in the photos I send of their pets that they look happy! Some even say I’m an animal whisperer because of my love for animals. Under my care, I make sure they are well fed, have clean water, plenty of cuddles and attention, and walks. I want my clients to be worry-free because they know that their pet is well cared for. Therefore, my promise to my future clients and pets is to provide the best care for every animal under my care. As a photographer and animal lover, I love capturing memorable photos of your pet. You will get lots of updates and videos under my care. Thank you for your interest and I hope you feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Have a great day!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young and helped friends and family with their other pets including cats. Once my own dog became sick several years ago, I decided my love for animals was much more and wanted to help others. I have cared for many types of dogs and I’m very comfortable handling any medical issues as well as social anxiety since I’ve helped mine as well as others with these conditions. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR. When I lost my 16 year old cavalier King Charles spaniel a year and a half ago, I decided to be more available and pet sit. I currently have a young, terrier mix who is a ball of energy, I’m very flexible and can do house sits, drop ins, and walks. I will take care of additional needs requested and I’m good at communicating so you will know how your loved one is doing while I’m with them. I very flexible but do currently work Wednesday evenings and usually one day a weekend. This may change to starting in May to more availability. I have a fenced in yard but live on several acres of land. My young terrier loves exploring the woods and creek. I care for senior dogs who do not have this lifestyle and have mobility and other issues that need special attention. I’ve always had my own dogs and clients who prefer them to sleep with me and are on my sofas but I tailor my care to what the owners want and is how they are comfortable.

About: We have owned dogs our entire life with many cats in between. We have had the pleasure of sitting dogs and cats all over the country, including house sits in California, Oregon, Washington, and now North Carolina. We have experience with young puppies, as well as elderly dogs with a plethora of health problems. We have experience with big dogs like German shepherds, Australian shepherds, and Rottweilers, to teacup Pomeranians, spitz, and many more. We are very high energy and fun, and the animals we’ve looked after always seem to pick up on that great energy and can’t wait to hang out. :) I sell vintage clothing and my boyfriend and I are both youth soccer coaches, so being self employed and only working part time coaching allows us to better accommodate to all the needs of the animals. In our own home, our dog Endo is the King. He gets to enjoy long daily walks amidst the beauty of DuPont forest, swims in the lake behind our house, and nightly fresh cooked meals. Our services on house sits include obviously feeding and general care of the animals, as well as promptly following specific dietary regimens and health requirements of every animal. We have cared for very old dogs that needed assistance in bowel movements as well as simple motivation for stubborn dogs that don’t like to walk. We have also looked after countless plants and hot tubs, ensuring proper watering and chlorination.

About: Hello! My name is Katy! I have had animal experience my whole life from horses, goats, cats, BIG dogs, tiny dogs and everything in between. I grew up at the coast of North Carolina and helped my town rehabilitate several different animals. I am a Therapist in training so I have availability to watch your fur babies! I am a therapy student so I have flexibility throughout the week during my internship. I have many fur babies myself and several farm animals as well. I live on a small farm with several ducks, doggies and guinea pigs. We sit in the middle of 14 acres which provides a safe environment for outdoor play and a large porch for relaxing. The inside of our home is also pet proof so no toxic plants, cords or anything that could harm our fur babies.

About: Unless you are a pet parent, no one understands what it is like for you to open your eyes in the morning only to find another pair of eyes staring at you, and this huge tongue licking you in the face. Whether you have a cat, dog, bird, etc.., you only want the best for your pet as they are more than just pets, they are family. As pet parents know, each one has his/her own personality and charm. You must have empathy and a sense of humor to be around animals. I have been around animals my entire life (over 40 years). I grew up hanging around a grooming solon knowing how to treat animals. I was taught how to train, groom, and photograph dogs. Our pets can make you laugh when your sad, and wait for you to come home at night, and love you unconditionally. My past experiences include: • Working at PetSmart Hotel • Being PetSmart certified • Knowing dog first aid • Being a dog trainer • Being a dog photographer • A dog whisperer • Working with PAWS of Rutherford County and ASPCA • A portion of candles that I made do go to PAWS of Rutherford County. • Being able to give dogs medication. I will treat your fuzzy children like my own. If you want someone who will love your dog(s) or cats and be a great substitute pet parent, then look no further than me. Have a wonderful day with your fuzzy kids! I own my own business. I can fit pet care into my schedule. I am sure I can work with the client to come into an agreement. I would like to know is there a schedule the client has for their pet, especially for the bathroom. Some pets need to go out every so often. Are there any dangers or allergies the pets has, etc. These are the types of information I will be asking the pet parent to make sure their pet is safe.

I started pet sitting in my neighborhood about 2 and a half years ago and also got on another app and have had about 2 sittings from there. I have pet sat mostly dogs but also cats. I have done overnights, visits throughout the day, boarding in my home, walking, etc. I am also about to start including dog training! I also would love to add in hiking! I would even be up for doing day care in my home! I have also cared for senior dogs and have experience with giving medications. I have a German Shepherd so I love to get out and be active! I am currently working part time but am planning to go fully to pet sitting so I can help more pet owners out! I am not in school so I will be available the whole day to spend time with your pups. Your pup will be able to go outside when needed and get love 24/7. We have a fully fenced yard so lots of room for your pup to run! We also go on daily walks and sometimes enjoy going out hiking or to the park. I am very keen on crate training so your pup will need to be crated while unsupervised in my home. This is for mine and my dogs safety but also for your dogs safety! We keep our home very clean and dog/ puppy proof so no need to worry about your pup getting into anything! We also keep chew bones up and any high value items up. They get these high value items when they are individually in their crates or their own space! We have three dogs for your pup to play and socialize with always under supervision of me or the other person in my home.
