Highly-rated overnight sitters - Big Pool
“Charlie is the best sitter I have encountered on Rover. The set-up he has for the dogs allow great exercise, monitored socialization and tons of love. I have never had a bad experience with him and will continue to rebook with him for his services. He is extremely flexible and communicative throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Once again Joel and Janelle treat our 2 boys like family. This time a dog pool was included and the most adorable pictures of our old man Cooper and baby boy Briggs! Being relatively new to NOVA- we feel so blessed we found this precious husband and wife team! Beautiful place and nothing but love ❤️”
“Arlene is a God send!! We had a very bad experience with another Rover and were quite hesitant to trust another, but when we met Arlene it was a match made in heaven. We don’t trust anyone else with our dog. She truly cares about him and he’s ALWAYS excited to see her when we leave town. She really does treat our dog like her own. Arlene is the best!!!”
“Payten was amazing. I will definitely be using her again. It was my baby's first time being with a sitter. He is very reserved and stubborn, but he really warmed up and trusted her. That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”
“Huck had such a great time! Communication was great and we loved the picture updates. Definitely felt at ease having our boy with Sarah. Already looking at our calendar for his next stay with her!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“Agnesa was fantastic as a sitter. We contacted her on fairly short notice to watch our six month old sheltie Laska, and she was flexible around timing with our flights out of and back into Newark. She kept us up to date on Laska regularly with pictures and videos, she did quite a bit of training with him that was very helpful (we’ve learned a lot from her), and it was clear when we picked him up that he had a wonderful time with her! We appreciated her communication with us and her care for Laska. We will definitely be contacting Agnesa again the next time we need someone to watch Laska!”
“This lady is AMAZING! last minute medical situation and with a new puppy. She was so welcoming and so nice. Great communication amazing updates and seriously she could be a pro dog photographer. Just absolutely no. 1 best person on Rover. Anyone in the area needing someone to care for your pups have to give her a shout!”
“Lejune was nothing but AMAZING with our new 5 week family puppy! I never used Rover and was recommended by a neighbor. After reading through reviews of other profiles, Lejune's stuck out the most to me. While my family and I were away I received endless pictures, videos, and updates on my Brady! He settled in very well and definitely liked like he was enjoying himself. I will be booking again, as well as using Lejune for training.”
“Chris, what an exceptional job. When I first met Chris, it was very obvious he was just excited to hangout with my pup. Dropping her off was simple and gave me a lot of confidence for Indys Stay. Chris sent me pictures during the entire 6 days he cared for Indy. Picking her up, they had already been out on a nice walk and it was obvious because she was very tired. I plan on using Chris again and would recommend anyone to entrust Chris with their Animal.”
“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”
“Barbara was one of the best hosts I’ve ever booked. She’s so kind, incredibly experienced with a variety of breeds, and has amazing intuition when it comes to meeting your pup’s needs. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and I was so comforted by the fact that I knew my darling dog was having a blast and was in great hands. I can’t wait to rebook!”
“Alexsys was able to watch my girl last night SUPER last minute for a couple hours while I had a Xmas get together. She is always very quick to respond to my requests and is always willing to take care of her for me!! I can never brag about her enough she is literally the AMAZING!!❤️”
“Wonderful experience with Chantal. She took our two dogs on short notice when our other Rover cancelled. I can tell she loved my dogs and I can tell my dogs loved her! Thank you so much! Will book again when in the area.”
“Donna and Scott are simply the best! They spoiled our Lexi girl and treated her like their own. Donna kept me updated with so many great pics of Lexi and what she was doing. I will not”
“Christina was wonderful in taking care of Lilo. She attended well to her needs and gave her extra treats in spoiling her. She communicated well and gave me updates of Lilo on a daily basis and throughout the day.”

“Aly was so communicative and took extra care to interact and snuggle with our cats. We really appreciated her willingness to sit for us last minute and enjoyed our trip knowing she was updating us with pictures of her sleepovers with our girls and Pookie. She was able to administer insulin for our diabetic cat and ensure her dietary needs were met. We were so lucky to find her!”
“Corrinna did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away this week. Coming home, it was clear that our cat had been well cared for, happy to see us, but relaxed and content, which tells us all of her needs were met while we were gone. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. We truly appreciate Corrinna’s care, reliability, and attention, and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Payten was amazing. She got great pictures of my cats. Even the outside community cats were coming to see her. My foster kittens were a challenge and ahe handled it beautifully.”
“Amber is a great person that is kind and caring. This is the first time I have left my cats with someone that isn’t family; she definitely made the experience positive and I know I will be calling her in the future.”
“Hania was fabulous in caring for our cat while we were away. We loved how she engaged with him, & spent time with him. And her daily photos and communication with us were so helpful, allowing us to know that he was ok. She was the best and we’ll look forward to working with her again. ?❤️”
“She was amazing. We were out of the country and could relax because her communication was superb. She sent updates and pictures. I am very happy we found someone so reliable and wonderful for the future.”
“Arnie was fabulous! My dogs love him and feel comfortable to let him in the house without us being there. He did a great job take care of the babies. Will book with him again when we need it!”

About: Hi! My name is Kat, but I get it if that’s a dirty word in your house. I’ve been lucky to grow up with dogs of all levels; Huskies, Mastiffs, Pugs, etc. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors pets in 2019 and in 2021 I rescued my beautiful Cane Corso! I love all animals and can be trusted to treat your fur-baby with the upmost care and attention. I’m very active so I’m happy to play/hike/walk all day, I’ve even roller-skated with a pup. As I mentioned, I have a rescued giant breed. With her being a tougher rescue she has taught me how to handle almost any situation. She is reactive on walks so I’ve done training to continue to get her exercise with as much ease as possible. That being said, I can handle most dogs at all levels, no matter the size. Currently, I work 3 evenings a week with open daytime availability. I can drop in or take your pup for a walk anytime during the day and most evenings. I exercise often and go on lots of walks through the day, so if you have a high energy dog it’s no challenge for me. I wait a bit between exercise and feeding but I will prepare the food exactly how you and your pup prefer. I’m comfortable with crating and have done crate training.
About: I have taken care of kittens and cats my whole life, I have always had at least one around at all times. I have litter trained cats and potty trained them for outside also. I have experience in assisting in birthing kittens and bottle feeding new borns. I am only able to administer oral medication. I have only ever adopted/and or taken in cats! All of my animals have been spayed and neutered. I love playing with playful cats and hanging out with the mellow ones, too.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Big Pool
“Extremely happy with Tavin as Max’s puppycarer. He Had such a good time and it’s a shame we left the area otherwise we would use her on a regular basis. Very kind and friendly carer. Max was asleep minutes after getting in the car.”
“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”
“My dog had a fabulous time with Kim! She was warm and friendly from the start, and her beautiful house and backyard made my dog feel comfortable and right at home. She even took him to the park, which he loved! Kim was communicative, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“Jesse helped us out with a very last minute request to watch our dog for the day and we’re so glad we found her! Our dog had a great time at doggie day care with Jesse and her family. They provided her with lots of exercise and play, as well as lots of love. I showed up to one happy dog at the end of the day. Jesse is a good communicator and provided updates and pics from the day. We would recommend Jesse for any dog sitting needs!”

“Dulce loves Lejune!!!! I know she is in good hands and always has fun! I always appreciate how communicative and prompt she is. Has been awesome when I’ve been late at work or have had an event/ meeting to go to. Will absolutely book again when we return. Highly recommend! (Dulce will really miss her!)”
“Lucy always does an amazing job with Molly. Her and Christian have really helped me with watching Molly as I prepare for a move, but I will still keep them as my go-to dog sitters for when I take a trip, even if they will live an hour away. The dog's excitement as I approach their house to drop her off with them tells me how well she's cared for while there.”
About: I’ve had years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable handling high energy dogs, including strong pullers, while staying patient and confident with larger breeds. I also have experience giving medications, including injections, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m currently working from home so my daily schedule is very flexible. I may need to take calls and meetings during random times of the day, but this does not effect my work office environment or pet needs. I have a fenced in yard at my home, including private spaces inside for calming time, private eating area, or one on one attention with your pet. I can provide neighborhood walks multiple times a day. I own two dogs and two cats. My dogs are experienced in meeting and sharing a space with other animals. They are up to date on their vaccines and flea and tick prevention. My cats are used to other dogs as well. I offer private space with me in my office during the work day if you would prefer your dog to not be around other pets. I can also arrange private yard time with no interactions with my pets outside as well.
About: Our home is a relaxed environment with plenty of room to wonder around and get sun light. We take 3 walks a day and run into plenty of other animals around the neighborhood and at the park. I and my wife work from home so there is always someone around! We take our dog for multiple walks a day & enjoy the playground so she can hang out with other dogs! Working from home makes things a breeze when taking care of pets! There are no issues with play time or even personal time. We adapt easily! In our home we treat your pet just as you should treat any human being! With respect and love. We understand that pets have feelings and can be affected my our actions too!

“We knew the minute Heidi met us at the door for our Meet and Greet with Tux, our 13-year old Bichon-Poodle, that we had found the perfect sitter. Tux felt right at home wagging his tail at her kids and Moochie, her Golden Retriever. He sniffed around, as all dogs do, and made his way outside to explore in their fenced-in backyard. We had total peace of mind leaving Tux in her care. She updated us throughout the day with pictures of the kids snuggling and playing with him. We will look no where else when we need someone to care for Tux. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to find the sweetest caregiver for your beloved pets.”

About: My Experience My experience caring for dogs goes back well before I started doing this full time. In high school, I walked dogs for people in my community to earn extra money, so getting paid to grab a leash and spend time with dogs is actually something I’ve come back to years later. Since then, I’ve continued gaining hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels through years of owning and caring for dogs myself. I’m comfortable with everything from a dog that wants to stop and investigate every mailbox to a large, energetic dog that genuinely needs to put some miles in. What started as a way to make money in high school has developed into something I take much more seriously today. Pet care is now my full-time focus, and I approach it professionally—learning each dog’s routine, keeping individual notes, communicating with owners, and working to build a relationship with every dog I regularly walk. I don’t just want experience walking dogs. I want experience knowing your dog—what they enjoy, what they avoid, how they communicate, and what makes them excited when I show up at the door. My Schedule & Availability: Open 24/7/365 | ASAP | rain☔️, snow❄️, or shine☀️ | hot🥵 or cold🥶 Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs I care for—not around another work schedule. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Early mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays—rain, snow, or shine, hot or cold. I especially welcome recurring clients who want to make exercise a consistent part of their dog’s routine. Because this is my full-time focus, I can accommodate regular weekday walks, multiple walks per week, longer walks, high-energy dogs, and owners who work overnight or unusual schedules. I also understand that life doesn’t always happen on a schedule, which is why I accept ASAP requests whenever possible. If I receive an alert at 2:00 AM, for example, my goal is to be at your pet’s door by 4:00 AM. ASAP requests are always subject to my current schedule, location, and travel time, so immediate arrival can’t be guaranteed, but I aim to respond to ASAP requests within two hours of receiving the alert. Weather doesn’t automatically mean a canceled walk either. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get outside. Dogs still need exercise, bathroom breaks, mental stimulation, and attention when the weather isn’t perfect. Safety always comes first, so extreme heat, dangerous cold, thunderstorms, ice, or other hazardous conditions may mean adjusting our distance, route, pace, or time outdoors rather than putting your dog at unnecessary risk. I also leave enough time between scheduled clients so your dog’s visit doesn’t feel rushed. Consistency is important to me, and regular walks give me the opportunity to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite places, preferred pace, and individual needs. Whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, a beautiful sunny afternoon or a snowy morning, my goal is to be someone you can depend on—and someone your dog gets excited to see because they know it’s time to go explore. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog’s safety will always come first, but I also believe dogs deserve to experience the world outside. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get them outside and moving. I’ll always adjust our pace, distance, and route to your dog and the conditions rather than automatically canceling a walk because the weather isn’t perfect. Throughout every walk, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language, breathing, energy level, paws, traffic, other animals, and our surroundings. On hot days, that means watching pavement temperatures, prioritizing shade and water, and recognizing signs of overheating. In cold or snowy conditions, I’ll monitor their paws and comfort and follow any instructions you have for coats, boots, or other gear. Weather won’t scare me away, but unsafe conditions will change the plan. Extreme heat, severe storms, dangerous ice, or conditions that could put your dog at risk may mean a shorter outdoor walk with the remaining time devoted to safe indoor attention and stimulation. Trust matters just as much. You’re trusting me with a member of your family and, in many cases, access to your home. I’ll respect your property, follow your instructions, communicate with you, and make sure your dog is safe and secure before I leave. I also want dogs to have the opportunity to be dogs. I’ll give them time to sniff, explore, investigate their surroundings, and experience what’s happening around them instead of treating every walk like a race. Every dog is different, and I’ll learn yours. Rain, snow, or shine. Hot or cold. My goal is to become someone you trust—and someone your dog gets excited to see walking through the door.
“Granite had the best day ever with Alexsys. 30 min after I dropped him off she sent me a photo of a very happy dog sitting in her lap. Alexsys was so great with communication. She sent many photos and let me know how he was doing during this entire stay. We will definitely book with Alexsys again.”

“Daniel is very reliable, professional, and all around a pleasant individual! Communication is always easy with him and he’s great with handling my giant English Mastiff. We’re so grateful for Daniel and highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
“Buddy, absolutely loves walking with Corrinna. He’s always so excited to see her and go on walks. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and enjoying his walk. I don’t know what I would do without her.”
“Cannoli took to Arnie immediately which is really unusual for her. But they get along great and I know she lives the walks! When comes home she crashes for an hour or so. Arnie is early and takes good care of Cannoli. Very much appreciated. I definitely went with the right walker!”
“Five stars! Payten communicates well and arrives on time. She is easy to work with and our dog George loves her. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.”
About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.

About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her rescue puppies. They have become the protectors of my grandchildren. As an Empty Nester, I enjoy the simple things in life and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.

“Amazing person! Gave multiple picture updates and told us everything she did with our dogs! Came over to meet the dogs to see if she would be a match, listened to everything we needed to say about them! We have a huge yard that they can play in but she still took them on walks in our neighborhood!!! Taught the dogs some new tricks and gave them so much love when we were at work!! Highly recommend Shannon! You will not be disappointed and your dogs will love her just like ours do!!”

I don’t just want experience walking dogs. I want experience knowing your dog—what they enjoy, what they avoid, how they communicate, and what makes them excited when I show up at the door. My Schedule & Availability: Open 24/7/365 | ASAP | rain☔️, snow❄️, or shine☀️ | hot🥵 or cold🥶 Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs I care for—not around another work schedule. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Early mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays—rain, snow, or shine, hot or cold. I especially welcome recurring clients who want to make exercise a consistent part of their dog’s routine. Because this is my full-time focus, I can accommodate regular weekday walks, multiple walks per week, longer walks, high-energy dogs, and owners who work overnight or unusual schedules. I also understand that life doesn’t always happen on a schedule, which is why I accept ASAP requests whenever possible. If I receive an alert at 2:00 AM, for example, my goal is to be at your pet’s door by 4:00 AM. ASAP requests are always subject to my current schedule, location, and travel time, so immediate arrival can’t be guaranteed, but I aim to respond to ASAP requests within two hours of receiving the alert. Weather doesn’t automatically mean a canceled walk either. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get outside. Dogs still need exercise, bathroom breaks, mental stimulation, and attention when the weather isn’t perfect. Safety always comes first, so extreme heat, dangerous cold, thunderstorms, ice, or other hazardous conditions may mean adjusting our distance, route, pace, or time outdoors rather than putting your dog at unnecessary risk. I also leave enough time between scheduled clients so your dog’s visit doesn’t feel rushed. Consistency is important to me, and regular walks give me the opportunity to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite places, preferred pace, and individual needs. Whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, a beautiful sunny afternoon or a snowy morning, my goal is to be someone you can depend on—and someone your dog gets excited to see because they know it’s time to go explore. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog’s safety will always come first, but I also believe dogs deserve to experience the world outside. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get them outside and moving. I’ll always adjust our pace, distance, and route to your dog and the conditions rather than automatically canceling a walk because the weather isn’t perfect. Throughout every walk, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language, breathing, energy level, paws, traffic, other animals, and our surroundings. On hot days, that means watching pavement temperatures, prioritizing shade and water, and recognizing signs of overheating. In cold or snowy conditions, I’ll monitor their paws and comfort and follow any instructions you have for coats, boots, or other gear. Weather won’t scare me away, but unsafe conditions will change the plan. Extreme heat, severe storms, dangerous ice, or conditions that could put your dog at risk may mean a shorter outdoor walk with the remaining time devoted to safe indoor attention and stimulation. Trust matters just as much. You’re trusting me with a member of your family and, in many cases, access to your home. I’ll respect your property, follow your instructions, communicate with you, and make sure your dog is safe and secure before I leave. I also want dogs to have the opportunity to be dogs. I’ll give them time to sniff, explore, investigate their surroundings, and experience what’s happening around them instead of treating every walk like a race. Every dog is different, and I’ll learn yours. Rain, snow, or shine. Hot or cold. My goal is to become someone you trust—and someone your dog gets excited to see walking through the door.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life I currently have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have worked with show dogs and had a grand show champion myself. I spend most of my day with my animals I just moved here so I don’t go very many places. I am willing to bathe and cut a dogs nails as long as they aren’t violently aggressive. I do work full time at a dog care facility it consists of 4 days and it’s 10 hour shifts please consider this before trying to book with me. I live with my fiancé so I will be able to be in and out or stay overnight if necessary with little hassle. I am always on time and allow plenty of notice if I can not make it at the time we agreed. My yard is completely fenced, I can kennel or crate a dog, I have no problem working with dogs that are not crate trained but it is preferred. My dogs and cats are allowed on my furniture however I do have baby gates up in front of each room to allow the cats to have a space away from the dogs. Following whatever rules someone else has for their home is no issue for me.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, owner and founder of RogiBear Pet Sitting Services. I am lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing top-notch care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals—both my own and those of friends, family, and clients. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and following any specific routines or training methods you have in place. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I strive to offer peace of mind through constant communication, photo updates, and personalized care. Let’s meet and see if I’m the right fit for your pet’s needs—I’d love to help keep their tail wagging (or purr going) while you’re away! I can offer same day care but please reach out to me first. I work part-time in the mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which means I’ve got lots of free time to hang out with your pets! Whether they need a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m around and happy to help. With a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas during walks, and closely monitor each pet’s behavior and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping an eye on the weather or double-checking gates and doors, I make sure every pet stays safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I communicate clearly and promptly with pet parents, provide updates with photos, and follow all care instructions to the letter. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being. I care deeply about the environment and try to minimize my impact during walks and visits. I always clean up after pets, properly dispose of waste, and reuse supplies when safe and appropriate. I also support local parks and green spaces so pets can enjoy clean, healthy environments for their adventures.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

She kept us up to date on Laska regularly with pictures and videos, she did quite a bit of training with him that was very helpful (we’ve learned a lot from her), and it was clear when we picked him up that he had a wonderful time with her! We appreciated her communication with us and her care for Laska. We will definitely be contacting Agnesa again the next time we need someone to watch Laska!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student and huge dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also volunteer with a local shelter through their Doggy Day Out program and help out with a local rescue, which has given me experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. On top of that, I regularly dog sit and care for dogs in my area for friends, family, and neighbors. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved while their owners are away! 🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I nanny Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays for pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Kelise was amazing with Trooper. He is very skittish so we were nervous about how he would adjust. She was great with him and he appeared to be comfortable, so much so that he wasn't ready to come back home yet. Lol She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. We look forward to using her again in the future! 10/10!”
