“Gabrielle (and her family) were nothing short of amazing with our Coco. Fantastic communication and lots of pics to see how happy our little girl was in her care. We are looking forward to lots of visits in the future.”
“So good. My dog sometimes comes home pretty stressed, no fault of other boarders. But with Allie he was part of a great group of peaceful dogs and came home very relaxed. Great communication throughout his stay. Very good experience.”
“Our doggie was very happy at Olivia’s place. Frequent updates and photos and videos showed her playing and relaxing. SOOO much better than being stuck in a cubicle at the kennel!”
“We always feel our girls are in good hands when we take them to Diane's. They are excited to see her and she stays in touch with us constantly to let us know how they're doing.”
“I could not have picked a better couple to take care of my best friend! They were not only loving and playful with Parks, they truly cared about what I mentioned to be her wants and needs. I have only traveled without her a handful of times (3 times at 16 years old is not an exaggeration). Donna made her comfortable, safe and loved. She cared for her knowing being apart was difficult for both of us. I would definitely use them again. I am even thinking of day care a few times a week, since she liked the interaction with other dogs to play with as she had 2 labs and another chihuahua that all past over10 years ago. I never considered how lonely she might be, because she never leaves my side!”
“Cosette was great with keeping us up to date with pictures and videos throughout my dog's stay. She even gave her a bath on the day we picked her up for us! Thank you Cosette.”
“Jenn was amazing! We took a beach vacation from out of town and our rental did not allow dogs. It was such a peace of mind to know that Charlotte was being taken care of so close by. Jenn sent us a lot of updates and pictures and was very responsive. Highly highly recommend!”
“Carey was literally amazing, I am so happy she was able to take my dogs for a night on a day of request. Seriously so sweet with the sweetest kids that played and loved on my pups for a night. No complaints and so happy to have found her!!!”
“Leaving Mac with Sarah and her family was a true blessing for me and Mac both! The love and acceptance of mac was unconditional love ! You can't find anyone else that gives the attention,affection and love they gave!! I love Sarah and will most definitely have her watch him again ! 💝🤗😊”
“We love having Rupert stay with Andrew and his family! Andrew is fantastic with communication, takes Rupert on plenty of walks, socializes him with his adorable cat Poe, and gave him his daily medications! We feel so great knowing Rupert is with a wonderful caretaker when we go out of town! We have used Andrew as a sitter multiple times and will continue to do so!”
About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, bird, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking / cat sitting company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I also love taking care of cats and other pets. I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. Much of my week is flexible. I do have another part-time job Monday-Thursday mornings, but let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! ONE DOG FAMILY AT A TIME Boarding and Doggie Day Care: It will only be your dog(s) and our one dog staying at our house. We have a secure, privacy-fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. Our friendly bull terrier, Lucy, will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if needed. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten me through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee! I also live with my boyfriend as a heads up! He is lovely pet owner and loves my girl like she is his own!
“I recently used Rebecca's services for my multipoo while we were away for a week. Rebecca said he did well even though he took over all her dogs toys and spot on the sofa! She's in a good location for walks and I would definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. I’ll also be starting grooming school shortly at CFCC!

I have extensive pet sitting experience and will love yours like my own. I prioritize being present with your pet and communicating if any questions arise. *I DO NOT ACCEPT RESERVATIONS AT HOTELS*
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and rescue dogs to senior dogs needing specialized attention, including my 16-year-old diabetic beagle who required daily medication, monitoring, and lots of extra love and patience. In my home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the furniture, get plenty of affection, and are treated like part of the pack. Your pup will have lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My community also has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. Whether your dog needs overnight care, walks, drop-in visits, or just a comfortable home away from home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I work only part time on a flexible schedule, which means your pup will have lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My community also has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. My community has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy.

“Kim was so excellent checking up on our kitty while we were out of town. She sent great updates and photos that we looked forward to every day! Would definitely ask Kim to watch our girl again in the future. :)”
“Kristin did a such a great job with our cats! She made us feel so much better about having to leave them for a trip. She’s very communicative and reliable, I highly recommend her.”
“Maddie is great! She did drop-in visits with our 12yo pup and made sure to send photos each day. We appreciated her flexibility to do a meet and greet prior to the booking as well. 5 stars!”
“Sarah was so sweet to my Mellow! He is typically very scared around new people but he warmed right up to her. She took the time to play with him during her visits, which was much appreciated! Highly recommend.”
“I rebooked with Olivia and she was amazing again! She gave my cat Leo lots of love and kept his litter box and food area clean! She is great at communicating, will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
“Beanie was well taken care of while I was away. Stephanie kept me updated and I knew he was in great hands! I will recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond for your pet/family member!”
“Lauren watched my cat, Niles, for 18 days in a row. She was attentive, caring and easy to contact. Niles was a huge fan. Her daily updates were detailed and put my mind at ease. Will 100% rebook.”
“Carol was great! I have never had so little to do when returning from a trip! The cats were happy, no messes (that's a big thing with my cats!) and it was wonderful to know they were so well cared for. Carol was very communicative and went the extra mile. I will definitely ask her to sit again. ”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with our puppies!! She gave us so many updates and pictures the whole time she watched them which made us feel so much more at ease. We’re very new to the area and our pups have only ever stayed with family or friends, and they warmed up to her and loved her right away! Your fur babies will be lucky to be in her care!”
“Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!”
About: I've had dogs and cats for years. I have friends in the animal rescue business, so I've also fostered animals in the past as well. I'd love to meet your crew and take care of him/her/all of them while you are away. Thanks for thinking of me with such an important job! I currently work from home and am available for drop-in visits during the day, evenings or weekends. I'm usually able to work around my day job, and will try to accommodate your needs. My home is a pet-friendly environment. Currently, I have a dog (who loves everyone), and 3 cats. Dogs are welcome in my house, but cats here might be an issue. However, I'd love to watch those kittens at your place. Dogs are always a treat too!
“Highly recommend as Katherine is trustworthy, was always on time for the walks and provided images and status updates. Our dog is not an easy dog (lots of anxiety with new people) and Katherine did an amazing job and was clearly patient. She gave us very clear communication throughout the entire process and we were extremely happy with the services provided.”
About: My parents had two cats from before I was born. They lived till I was about 14 and allowed me to become very familiar with having a cat as a pet. One was also particularly feisty so I also know how to deal with cats that are a little more on the scratchy side. Overall, I'm a big cat person and would love to watch over any paws thrown my way!
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.
“Amy was great with our dog and took special care with him! She helped with medication and monitoring him from a pre-existing injury. She spent time with him and sent great pix, highly recommend!”
About: I have cared for cats in a barn setting for many years. Multiple cats inside a home unfortunately is something my allergies will not allow. Feeding and checking on a cat is something I comfortable with, I just cannot have them in my lap.

“We selected Julia for our Carolina Dog based on reviews, her experience with big dogs and the fact that she is a certified dog trainer. We were delighted to find that in addition to all of that she is kind and caring too. Zoë has found a new friend as well as a home away from home and we have found piece of mind.”
About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed
“I am so happy with how my dogs were taken care of today. Gabrielle is so nice & I can tell the dogs are happy to be at her home with her dogs. I appreciate her love toward my doggies!”
“Julia is amazing, super welcoming and friendly. Gus is just adorable, so sweet and easy to get on with other dogs. Maya had such a great time under Julia’s care would highly recommend her to any one. Thank you.”
About: Hi! I’m Emma — dog mom of 3, lifelong dog lover, and small-dog boarding specialist in Wilmington, NC. I have three friendly small dogs of my own (Cavaliers + a Cocker Spaniel), so your pup will always have built-in friends, supervised playtime, and a home-based environment instead of an overcrowded kennel. Taking care of dogs is just part of my everyday life! I work from home, so I’m with my dogs pretty much all day. We keep a regular routine of potty breaks, playtime, and light training throughout the day. On weekends, we love to switch things up with a hike, a beach stroll, or grabbing a pup cup at our favorite coffee spot. Whether it’s a chill day at home or an adventure, I’m always focused on making sure the dogs in my care are happy, safe, and well-loved. Located in a safe, quiet Scotts Hill neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard for playtime. I only board 1-2 dogs at a time, so your pup will always get personal attention and care. They have the option to have their own cozy suite or stay in the same room as our resident pups, both with comfy bedding, toys, and all the essentials. Please note all pets are crated when unsupervised and overnight. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog feels right at home!
“I’m so grateful I found Susie on Rover. My dog Milo seemed very comfortable and well taken care of during his daytime stay at Susie‘s home. She sent great pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely be back for our next beach trip!”
“Gabrielle was wonderful with Sunnie! She was available last minute and we really appreciate that! Sunnie seemed very comfortable with her and she was well cared for. We will definitely leave Sunnie with Gabrielle again. She updated us and provided photos during Sunnie’s stay :)”
“Faith was excellent! She watched my older girl as a last minute booking, which was so helpful! She was very attentive to what my dog needed, and sent pictures throughout her stay. I would certainly use her services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my families pets since I was 13, and I became a dog owner 4 years ago!! My baby Jack is a beagle - cavalier king charles spaniel mix and he is the sweetest. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, bathing them, cuddling with them, and so much more. I absolutely love dogs and spending my time with them :) I work from home during the school year (Aug-May) so I’m available for drop ins, walks, and house sitting after school hours (4pm-late)! I am very flexible with hours and days. For boarding and doggy day care, I work from home 9am-4pm M-F. I see clients in person 4:30-6:30 Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. For doggy daycare my hours are 8am-4pm. if you are unable to pick your dog up before 4:00, then they can be crated during 4-6:30pm. Or, I can drop them off by 4. Weekends I do not work so drop offs at 8am and pick ups are flexible. I can provide play time with my dog inside the home and outside in my yard. They will be supervised at all times by myself or my spouse. They can be let out hourly or more. Can go to the dog park in my neighborhood right behind my house during my lunch break and when I get off at 4. must be friendly with other dogs because my dog will be present! during the summer I only work 1 day/week so very open! I will not allow dogs out without a leash if there’s no fence, and I will always listen to an owners instructions on how to best care for their fur babies. in my home, I have a fenced in backyard. I do not leave dogs home alone unless they are in a crate or kennel. There is a neighborhood dog park right behind my house ( that is typically empty ) that our dogs can play in as well.
About: I’ve always been a pet lover. Me and animals just get along! So this is the perfect job for me. I am responsible and you shouldn’t need to worry while you’re away. I am a care giver to pets, children and seniors. I am available to sit, walk, play or sleep over with your sweet pet. I can do one time or recurring pet care. I am happy to keep your pet in your home or mine! At home I have 1 cat currently, who is indoor/outdoor and doesn’t even flinch at even the biggest dog! I also have 3 kids, all who are avid pet lovers.
“Jay was amazing! Best dog sitter ever! He made us feel like they were with family. He sent updates throughout the day of their adventures and made sure they were eating well and having a great time! Our pups had a great time with him.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play/exercise, bathe/groom, and love their pets while traveling, moving, or working. Are the morning walks not cutting it for your pup? Do they still have too much energy during the day? Now introducing “Dog Jogs!” Instead of a walk around the block, I will take your dog on a couple mile jog, solo or with other pups, to use up that puppy energy so they will sleep all day while you’re working. Additionally, I work from home and have plenty of time throughout the day for regular exercise and bathroom breaks. I live in a dog friendly community on the first floor with direct access to a large, grassy backyard. Your pet will be looked after at all times during the day, and would never be left alone. I do not have my own pets at this time, and your fur baby would receive all the love and attention it deserves.
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
About: I am a dog lover. I have watched my family and friends pets for many years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I work from home Monday-Friday. My schedule is flexible to what might be needed whether drop ins, walks, etc. I am available on the weekends as well. I will do what’s needed based on the animals needs: playing with the animals, feeding and watering, checking food/water sources, going on walks, and more.

About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around animals all my life. Currently, I live behind the university with my two cavaliers on a little less than an acre. My two are wonderful with other dogs and looking for some playmates. My fenced-in backyard makes for the perfect playground, and your dogs will be free to come and go as they please from inside to the fenced in area. I have boarded as many as 4 dogs at one time and have cared for senior dogs (18+). Reach out for information on boarding opportunities and/or for additional details. I am here full-time and available currently for boarding any time of the day as well as on weekends. I maintain full care of my two, so the more, the merrier! I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe and carefree playtime. My two dogs are very friendly and are sure to make for excellent playmates.
About: Aside from having animals my entire life, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I care for every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. I intentionally spend quality time with each animal — whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to help reinforce training for puppies as well. Since I work from home, pets get lots of attention and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind too 🐾 I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule where I can work anywhere and take many breaks. I can take same day/emergency request as well. I give lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s play, cuddles, enrichment activities, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s personality — some love constant interaction, while others prefer a more relaxed and quieter environment, and I adjust accordingly.

Walker is always punctual, attentive to my dog’s needs, and goes above and beyond to ensure every walk is safe, fun, and enriching. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pet like their own, Jennifer is the perfect choice. Five stars!”

About: Your furry friends will have a blast during our time together. I will provide top-notch care while making sure your pup is happy, safe and more importantly, comes home tired! I take the dogs on multiple walks daily, walk around Sugarhouse Park and spend lots of time at the off-leash dog park at Fairmont Park. Your pups will have a blast playing with me and my little pug, Potato. I will send frequent updates/videos/picture of your furry friend so that you feel close to them and don’t miss them too much while you’re away! I am also able to administer any medications that may needed. I am able to host your dog at my apartment or stay at your house to make things more convenient to you!
“Sarah was amazing with our fur-baby. This was the first time Bleu was with a dog walker and she helped everyone feel at ease. She was attentive to his needs, and helped him feel very comfortable even when he was unsure about walking with a new person.”
About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience—both in clients’ homes and in my own—I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with dog walking and truly enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique needs and quirks. My love for dogs started with my childhood cocker spaniel, who lived a happy 14 years and taught me just how deep the bond between human and dog can be. Since then, caring for dogs has never just been a job—it’s something I genuinely love. What sets me apart is my focus on your dog’s comfort. Whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just quiet snuggles on the couch, I tailor each visit to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m an early riser and a night owl, so I have lots of time each day to give your pup the attention they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, or couch snuggles. We also have a sweet, friendly dog Kenzie, who absolutely loves other dogs. She’s very well-socialized and would be a great companion for your pup during their stay. Kenzie is the only dog in our home, so she’s always excited to have a new buddy to hang out with! She’s super friendly and loves having a playmate around to keep her company. I offer boarding Friday through Sunday, and I'm available for pet sitting and dog walking any day of the week. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! In our home, your pup will be treated like one of our own—basically, like a spoiled baby with paws! We’re all about love, belly rubs, and making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and totally at home. At our home, we have space for a crate if needed and offer a cozy, calm environment. We’re lucky to have access to a large, fully fenced-in dog park right on our property that features agility equipment, shaded areas, and 24/7 water access—perfect for playtime and exercise! Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, structured outdoor time, or sticking to a feeding and potty schedule, we tailor our care to meet each dog’s needs and personality.

Great care is taken to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and happy.
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up in a home where they were family, and I can't treat them any other way. I have a love for all cats and dogs, no matter the age or size. They all deserve the very best we can provide! I am available for weekend pet care. I have an 8-5 Monday through Friday job, but I love having weekend flexibility to help out other pet-parents!

About: I've owned dogs all my life and always had a role in taking care of them. I have always owned German Shepherds, so I have lots of experience with very large dogs. I have formal obedience training experience and was able to get my first dog her Canine Good Citizen certificate. I have been officially dog sitting for 10 years, and have cared for all types of dogs, including weimeraners, pitbulls, labs, doodles, shepherds, goldens, basset hounds and terriers. I have also been cat sitting since age 8 and have experience with cats of all sizes and ages. I recently graduated from UNC Law School and took the bar exam, and I am looking for some work in the interim while I wait for exam results and search for a legal job. I am living with family in the Wilmington area! I love animals of all kinds. I am most looking forward to taking jobs on rover because I'll get to meet so many pets! As well as feeding and playing with your pets at home, I would love to take them on walks, jogs or maybe car rides to the park (whatever you are comfortable with)! I have lots of experience walking bigger, stronger dogs on a leash so I'd be comfortable doing this with your pets if you'd like!

“Gabrielle (and her family) were nothing short of amazing with our Coco. Fantastic communication and lots of pics to see how happy our little girl was in her care. We are looking forward to lots of visits in the future.”
“So good. My dog sometimes comes home pretty stressed, no fault of other boarders. But with Allie he was part of a great group of peaceful dogs and came home very relaxed. Great communication throughout his stay. Very good experience.”
“Our doggie was very happy at Olivia’s place. Frequent updates and photos and videos showed her playing and relaxing. SOOO much better than being stuck in a cubicle at the kennel!”
“We always feel our girls are in good hands when we take them to Diane's. They are excited to see her and she stays in touch with us constantly to let us know how they're doing.”
“Cosette was great with keeping us up to date with pictures and videos throughout my dog's stay. She even gave her a bath on the day we picked her up for us! Thank you Cosette.”
“Jenn was amazing! We took a beach vacation from out of town and our rental did not allow dogs. It was such a peace of mind to know that Charlotte was being taken care of so close by. Jenn sent us a lot of updates and pictures and was very responsive. Highly highly recommend!”
“Carey was literally amazing, I am so happy she was able to take my dogs for a night on a day of request. Seriously so sweet with the sweetest kids that played and loved on my pups for a night. No complaints and so happy to have found her!!!”
“This was our first experience being away from Lexi and we were nervous about leaving her while on vacation. Our first interaction with Ashley put us at ease. It was clear that Lexi would be well cared for and enjoy her stay. We were updated daily with pictures and an update on how she was doing. We were very happy with Ashley, Jon and their family, highly recommended them, and will be reaching out next time we have to be away from Lexi. Thank you Ashley, Jon, and your children for taking great care of Lexi while we were vacationing!”

About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, bird, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking / cat sitting company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I also love taking care of cats and other pets. I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. Much of my week is flexible. I do have another part-time job Monday-Thursday mornings, but let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! ONE DOG FAMILY AT A TIME Boarding and Doggie Day Care: It will only be your dog(s) and our one dog staying at our house. We have a secure, privacy-fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. Our friendly bull terrier, Lucy, will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if needed. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
