About: I’m a huge dogs and cats lover, I’ve been taking care of my cat for 4 years. He once had severe FIP disease and I took care of him, giving daily medication injections for about two months. And now he’s very healthy and never got sick again. He was abandoned by his previous owner and got anxious which leads to his sickness, I spent lots of time giving him emotional support and help him recover. I would do hair grooming every day, play with my cat and scoop the litter. I usually give him shower once a month and also with ear cleaning. I have experience of taking care of pet at my house, do the daily work needed, taking pictures and videos to owners, and report if anything is need or if their pet got sick and give solutions.

About: With over 13 years of experience and specialized training in dogs that have anxiety, aggressive termed dogs, and highly active dogs, I promise your pup will be loved and cared for no matter their personality! I also have extensive experience working with large dogs, puppies, and senior dogs requiring overnight care, so no matter the circumstances, know your pup is getting the highest quality, experienced care. I am privately insured in addition to the Rover Guarantee, so embrace the peace of mind knowing your pets are well covered! Please message me prior to confirming a booking to ensure that our schedules will align :) I am currently a student with a highly flexible class schedule, so I will have lots of time to help take care of your furry friends! There are some days during the week where I have longer periods of class, but feel free to reach out and we can find a schedule that works for you with my year-round availability! additionally, my rates might vary for drop in or walk services depending on your distance. This is to help me cover cost of transportation and to help pay for the additional time spent traveling to or from the visit. Thanks for understanding! I place a strong emphasis on safety first, and do not take animals to places they are not used to or would not be comfortable in. Having worked with animals with all types of social backgrounds, I am well experienced in ensuring the decisions I make are the best possible choice for your pet.

About: I have 4 dogs that I’ve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. I’m currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day! In my client’s home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my client’s homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.

About: I’ve spent years caring for friends, families; and neighbors - from playful pups to shy cats and everything in between. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat all animals like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented when it comes to their needs, whether it’s a long walk, a belly rub, or just quiet company. Because I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long. I can easily adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and playtime schedule, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule due to my work-from-home lifestyle. I already take morning walks to start my day, mid-day walks to recharge, and evening walks around 5pm CT - perfect times for furry companions to get exercise and fresh air. During the workday, I can easily accommodate feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, and weekends are even more open for longer walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. Your pet’s comfort and routine will always be my priority. When I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and safe environment with plenty of cozy spots for rest and areas to play. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding times to exercise routines — and keep your pet’s wellbeing front and center. I will maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean area, and I always send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

About: Pet/child sitter! I have a young niece who absolutely adores her Labradoodle- Oreo! They have grown up together and I have learned to juggle watching them at the same time throughout the years. They’re both sweethearts, which makes the experience so enjoyable ❣️ Willow is still a baby (in my eyes at least) and trained me to keep up with her high puppy energy- whether it was for a short drop in or an outdoor walk! She has her quiet moments too where she just loves cuddles 🥰 I am currently a college student with free time in between, before, and after classes, as well as weekends. I am pretty flexible when I’m not in class and understand people get busy during weekdays but still want to care for their pets, which I can help with. I love to stay active by going on walks so I would love some furry friends to join me! Also available for drop ins! I am not currently boarding at my own home, but when in a client’s home I am mindful of your space and more than happy to abide by household expectations shared with me.

About: Hello! I have experience volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting various breeds and age levels from Foxhounds to Chihuahuas. I was a volunteer for the SPCA of Wake County for 3 years and have fostered many wonderful dogs with the Independent Animal Rescue in the past. I was also a pet sitter one summer where I was available for same day dog sitting appointments. I plan on working with dogs more in the future and becoming more active with volunteer work, as I used to be. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your pupper while you're away, whether that is just for a quick check in or a frequent reoccurring schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! My most common availability is afternoons and evenings, as well as all day weekends I will care for your pets as if they are my own. Any necessary accommodations, dietary restrictions, or even regular activities your fur baby enjoys will be my focus areas

About: I’ve always had a pet sound me since I was younger. Taking care of pets is something I’ve always known to do and I took care of more than just dogs and cats. I love taking care of animals. I currently work part-time but most of my day is spent at home and I feed my cat in the morning and in the afternoon and at night. I have enough time in my day to take care of any pets. All other animals present in the house will be kept away from pets staying in my home to ensure maximum safety. I take care of the pets needs and offer them time to get their energy out and time to rest.

She shows care and knowledge and is excellent at prompt communication and adapting to little hiccups here and there. She is very friendly and polite.
