About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.

Caitlin made me feel so safe leaving my Boston terrier for the day. She sent lots of pictures, took her on walks, and let her lay outside to get her daily sun bathing in:) couldn’t recommend someone better!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.

It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.

About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quiet companion who respects their space, I'm happy to provide the care they need while you're away. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, so caring for animals is both my profession and my passion. My veterinary training allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, and I'm comfortable caring for senior cats, kittens, and those with special medical needs. My goal is to keep your cat's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During each visit, I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of affection (if they want it!), enrichment, and careful observation to ensure they're happy and healthy. You can expect: 🐈 Calm, patient care tailored to your cat's personality 📸 Plenty of photos and updates after every visit 💊 Comfortable administering most oral medications and other routine care 🧶 Playtime, brushing, or simply quiet companionship ❤️ Respect for your cat's routine and home environment I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else's care. I'll treat them like one of my own and make sure you can relax knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I can't wait to meet you and your feline family!

Liz took great care about our cat while we were out of town. We could enjoy our trip knowing that our furry baby is in her safe hands. She even secured two closets to prevent our cat from getting into them as we forgot to do it before the trip. We highly recommend Liz and will definitely use her help again.

Francesca has been a huge help for my Mother while she’s in the hospital, taking very good care of her beloved (and shy) kitty! I made the arrangements from out of state, and Francesca has made a difficult time better by making sure we didn’t have to worry about kitty being too lonely. While I haven’t yet met Francesca face to face, a friend has, and confirmed the quality of care. I get pics and vids from every visit so I can assure my Mother that kitty’s needs are met. This is important to my Mother’s wellness, and we are grateful. ?

My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing! Lola loved her play date with Jessica’s fur baby, Peanut, and having some time out of the hot sun! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing! I’ll definitely hit you up next time we visit Emerald Isle!

About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

About: Growing up, our house was basically a small zoo—dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons, iguanas, snakes, and even gators! My little sister topped us all with a pet tarantula. 🐍🦎 In college, I happily added dog-sitting for my music directors’ pups to the mix. I work in hospitality, so my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with your needs—whether your pet has four legs, scales, fins, or a little extra attitude! Writing With the change of season, my work schedule is mainly weekends, with a few regular office-hour shifts mixed in. I also have some longer breaks during the day, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of time to give your pets some attention. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I treat pet sitting like a girls’ night in—lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and fun! I’m detail-oriented, follow routines carefully, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. 🐾💕

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, donkeys, pigs, fish, and the occasional duck or goose. I was responsible for a lot of their care before and after school, and I worked as a kennel technician for a couple of years. Currently I work on Duke’s campus with sick dogs in the pediatric department. I also just love animals! I’m good at attention to detail, cleaning up after pets, feeding/watering/medicating, and walking. I’m comfortable with any and all kinds of pets. I am a student, so I would be available for pet care before/at 12:30pm and after 4:30pm on week days, and available all day on weekends. I can also spend nights as needed. I am not able to keep pets in my dorm as it is against university policy but I would be more than happy to commute or spend nights for house/petsitting. I have done so before, and I do very well with this. I find it to be a fun experience

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.

About: I am taking courses to be a certified vet assistant right now and this seems like a good way to work with more animals! I am experienced with animals that have anxiety, puppies, and seniors! I love all animals and am fairly flexible! I have 1 dog that lives with me full time that I have had since she was 8 weeks old and 2 dogs that I care for regularly as well! I’m fairly flexible on my schedule when it comes to sitting, dropping in, and walking! For house sitting, I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pets routine! I may leave throughout the day to run errands, go to class, or attend events but I will always ensure your pet receives the care and attention the need. If your pet requires a more constant-care schedule, please disclose those needs before we book! I am comfortable doing whatever is necessary for your animals unique needs. I want to make sure your animal is safe and cared for in your absence. For pet sitting in your home, I am able to get your mail, water plants, etc.

About: I have had all kinds of animals throughout my life... cats, dogs, fish, etc. I currently have a miniature schnauzer and an Australian labradoodle puppy. I also have experience with elderly animals and can give injections as well as administer oral medications. I am a lover of all animals! I recently rehabed a baby squirrel that was struck by lightening. It was so rewarding when I was able to release him back into the wild! Before moving to my current location I volunteered with the ‘Cats about town’ program. Cats about town is a trap, neuter/spay, release program to help control the feral cat population in town. I assisted with trapping and also feeding after their release. I am dependable and punctual and you can trust that I will take the best care of your babies! My schedule/availability varies. I try to keep my calendar up to date but please message me to see if I can help you with your pet. I will be glad to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. Play visits, potty breaks, medicine administration, feeding, bathing, etc. Also willing to take your pet to the park, beach, vet, etc. I hope to make your life easier and your pets happy!

About: Ive taken care of and loved dogs since I was very young. I’ve fostered dogs and helped train them as well as taken good care of senior dogs. If you will have me take care of your dog expect lots of funny pictures of your furry friend. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog and am willing to stay overnight as well if needed. I will walk your dog and take them to the beach or on other fun adventures with me. I will make sure that they enjoy their time with me.

About: I have had a lifelong love of animals and have been caring for pets from a very young age. I grew up with both dogs and cats and learned early on the importance of being responsible, patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. As an adult, I have continued to care for my own pets, including many cats and a rabbit, giving me experience with different animals, personalities, routines, and care requirements. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every animal. I don’t see pet sitting as simply feeding an animal and letting them out—I believe pets need companionship, affection, playtime, exercise, and individual attention. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, observant, and very attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior or routine. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to have someone they can trust with a beloved member of their family. I work part-time, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to make pet care a priority. I am available every day of the week and can accommodate visits, walks, feeding schedules, and other care needs at various times throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can provide consistent and dependable care without having to rush through visits. I am able to adjust my routine around each pet’s individual needs and schedule, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to make caring for pets an important part of my daily routine. I have three cats of my own, so I understand the responsibility and commitment involved in providing daily care for pets. I make sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, a safe and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I also spend time playing with them and providing enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. If caring for someone else’s pet in my home, I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain the pet’s normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, medication, and sleeping routines as much as possible. I would provide a calm, safe space where the pet can feel comfortable and would give them plenty of individual attention. I would also take into consideration their personality and comfort level, especially if they are nervous or adjusting to a new environment. Because I have cats, I would also make sure any visiting pet is safely separated when necessary and that introductions are handled appropriately. My priority would always be the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care.

About: Hello! My name is Moe and I have had the pleasure of being around animals my entire life. From helping my parents with the many pets we have owned to watching my neighbor's and relative's animals, and even farm sitting, taking care of and loving animals has been an integral part of my life! I have job experience at a pet boutique that also provided grooming, daycare, and boarding services. I also have work experience as a dog walker in the metro Atlanta area, and love getting to interact with the various types of pets I come across. I have all of the skills and experience to make sure your beloved pet is treated and taken care of the exact way it needs! Pet care is worked in to my weekly routine by ensuring we get plenty of time together before and after my work shifts. I work as the Studio Manager for our local Wine & Design with work days usually being Tuesday-Saturday 10 am - 6 pm! With pet parent permission I am allowed to bring dogs in to work to spend the day with me as well! I do my best to incorporate plenty of enrichment such as play time or walks to ensure that the critters are expending their energy and not spending too much time wondering where their owners are!!

Anne was fantastic! She responded to my messages almost immediately, making it incredibly easy to arrange daycare for our dogs on short notice. The entire process was smooth, and she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. Knowing our dogs were in great hands allowed us to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal at the Beaufort Hotel, which made our visit to Beaufort even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated her flexibility and excellent care, and we would not hesitate to book with Anne again. Highly recommended!

About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.

About: -Personally, I have been caring for pets for 18 years. Pit mixes, reptiles, and felines. The first words most people would use to describe me would be "animal lover"! -Professionally, I have veterinary and animal handling experience. I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician Assistant between college and graduate school, which gave me experience with administering medication, pet safety,checking vital signs, soothing anxious pets, basic grooming, etc. I also spent two years in grad school walking dogs,boarding, and doing check-ins with "Wag!" which I thoroughly enjoyed! Professionally, I am a biologist and have a working knowledge of animal physiology -I have personally mothered and treated a Heartworm Positive dog, so I am well-versed in caring for a pup currently undergoing that! With my current seasonal position coming to an end, I expect to have a wide open schedule for the next few months. I am a pretty early riser, but can be flexible It is priority to make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible while missing you! I choose to not use a crate with my dog, but can with yours if you prefer that. I'm very active and like to ensure that animals get as much activity and enrichment as they like. I am very big on sending lots of photos and video updates on your pet throughout the day!

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.

About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.
