I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)!

I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all of your animals' needs.”

“We have 2 6-month-old kittens, and this is the first time we have left them alone. This was also our first time using Rover, and we were very nervous as we would be 5 hours away if something went wrong. Marissa met us prior to our trip to meet Stormy and Shadow. The process could not have gone any smoother. Marissa arrived as scheduled daily and we received reassuring photos which allowed us to enjoy our time away. We would definitely use Rover/Marissa in the future.”

I can offer caring for your pets in your own home and will utilize your resources appropriately and safely. My own home, if truly needed, is in a lovely neighborhood for nice walks, with a fenced in backyard. Currently, there are no other pets in the house.

About: Hello my name is Edwin Outlaw I have been an animal lover since I was 13 and I would love to take care of yours. I have 2 German shepherds named BamBam and Pebbles along with 2 hamsters named Rambo and Hamie and a cat named star I am currently a senior in college at East Carolina University with a major of business and I am 23 years old I have the skills of keeping your dog entertained while you do whatever and they would be kept in good hands My schedule will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. My daily routine would be drop ins, daily walks, and boarding all fun for your pet I will feed them at their appropriate time, play with them, I would rub on them and give them love, I will also follow all the rules that you provide me with and I will also keep the house tidy and clean

I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
“Ashley took exceptional care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely recommend her and reuse her services if ever need them again.”
“Marcus was great with our Maizey - he took great care of her while we were away. We could tell immediately that she took a liking to him and we felt good about leaving her in his care. He’s very polite and was quick to respond when we reached out. We will definitely book him again!”
About: A lot of people think that cats are simple and don’t need much, well sometimes this can be true, I have dealt with a lot of cats that actually need a lot of attention, interaction and playing! cats are not so low maintenance as some people realize. With that being said, I always go out of my way to make sure a cat has a clean litter box because without that, that can sometimes lead to issues. As well as being fed properly with wet and dry food, and obviously given love and playtime! Because most of our kitty friends don’t go outside, so enrichment is good for them. I have personal experience with elder cats, that do need a little help in things like the bathroom and also giving medication and stuff like that.
“Destiny was amazing! She was very caring and attentive to our little pup. She checked in with us and took excellent care of him. I will for sure be booking with her again.”

“Athena was in her element - running, playing, and enjoying the companionship of her canine relatives! What a special day and place for Athena to spend time being a ‘puppy’ with such joy. Thank you Melissa”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet lover. I’m a vet student in the making. Caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s part of my future career. I take the time to really get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s helping a puppy burn off energy and learn basic manners, or giving a senior pet the extra patience, comfort, and gentle care they deserve. Because I’m passionate about animal health, I pay close attention to things like eating habits, energy levels, and behavior changes, so I can spot if something seems off and communicate that to owners right away. I’m also comfortable handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs.nFor me, pet sitting isn’t just “watching” animals it’s making sure they’re safe, happy, and thriving, while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. Pet care is something I fit naturally into my day. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or some playtime to make sure pets start the day happy and active. If I have classes, I plan my schedule so I can come by for potty breaks, belly rubs, and some one on one time in between. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks, heading to a park, or just spending time playing or relaxing together. Weekends are perfect for extra adventures like exploring trails, visiting pet-friendly spots, or giving them some extra grooming and attention. For me, pets aren’t something I try to “fit in” around my day they’re part of it. I love making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need, no matter how busy my schedule gets. Whether in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I pay close attention to a pet’s personality, habits, and routines so I can adapt my care to their comfort level, whether that means providing a quiet, calm environment for shy pets or engaging in active play for more energetic ones. I also make it a point to send regular updates, photos, and notes to owners so they feel reassured and connected while they’re away. In my own home, I designate safe areas for rest, play, and meals, and I make sure fresh water is always available. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely everything from where the pet sleeps to how they like their walks so the pet’s routine is not disrupted. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, cared for, and happy, no matter the environment.

“Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

Care for my fur guest fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day, whether it's for feeding, potty breaks, walks, or just some comforting company. I’m able to maintain a calm and consistent environment where pets feel safe and cared for. Being home full-time means my fur guest will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adapt to their individual needs and routines. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or special care instructions. My fur guest have access to cozy resting areas, safe indoor and outdoor spaces, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know how they are doing. My goal is to create a stress-free, happy stay that gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Sharon did an awesome job looking after our doodle, Dexter. She sent us pictures and videos and updates so that we could know that he was OK since it was his first time there. We feel like he got lots of love and attention.”
“After three day camps we’re beyond happy with the level of care and fun that Mitzi has provided to our rescue Maltese, Winnie. Our goal was to provide a fun, safe, and positive socializing experience for Winnie, who is still very much coming into her own after being rescued from a puppy mill just five months ago. From pictures and videos, to text messages checking in with us throughout the day, we’ve come to realize how fortunate we were to discover Mitzi’s day care, she really dotes on all of the dogs and it’s such a comforting feeling knowing your dog is in great hands. We highly recommend Mitzi and hope others with shy/introverted dogs are equally fortunate to have their dogs spend time playing the day away in their giant back yard with friends of all sizes.”
“Carol is the best! She had great communication, took wonderful care of Obi, and has a great yard and home that is pet friendly and safe. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have been lucky enough to care for, look after, love, walk, feed, play with, and overall enjoy animals for my whole life. I have always lived with dogs and I have been sitting for cats since I was a teenager. I’d be happy to lend a hand to make sure your furry family member is more comfortable and content while you’re away. I am very flexible with both my work and personal schedules, so I can typically fit requests into my day, no problem. Each day is different, of course, but I am happy to work with you to make care for your pet happen when you need it to. I pride myself on the high level of care and attention I give to my pets, and that level will be just as high for yours. All I need is clear instruction and info on your pet, and whatever you need to have happen will happen. I’m a private person, and I respect yours as well, so when I am in someone else’s home I apply a leave-no-trace policy.
About: Hi My name is Maryssa and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 or 11 years old .

Neighbors , family , and friends all come to me when they need a reliable and dependable person to watch their pets . My schedule is pretty much open availability at the moment , but I do ask when booking that you are on time and if you are running behind there needs to be communication . If you are more than 45 minutes late Dropping your pet off we will need to reschedule for another time . I don’t have a fence at my home but I personally walk my dogs on a leash, or harness . My animals are pet friendly so your fur babies will be kept company .

About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.

“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”

They took the such good care of our noodle we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us! Ashley and her girls made sure he felt right at home and I have no doubt he was sooo loved on. . They made sure he got ample play time and walks. They provided us with regular updates and photos. It was such a relief to know our pup was with a family that loved and cared for him like Ashley and her girls do! He will definitely be back!!”
