“We have left our pup with Brooke a couple of times now and she is amazing! Our pup is excited every time we pull into the driveway! Will definitely keep using Brooke!”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! Miss Olivia did great and I was updated numerous times a day which helped my kids and I from being away from our precious puppy. We will most definitely use her for any future trips.”

“Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!”

“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”

“Susan and her family love Penny like she’s their dog. When we pulled into the driveway, Penny couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. There is no greater review than your dog joyfully going to their boarder! Susan sends the best pictures and videos to recap the day. Susan has always communicated quickly. She is our go to boarder for our girl.”

“Alison was absolutely fantastic with my little pup, Tyson. Her own dogs made great playmates for my little guy and she was flexible and communicative when my family hoped to pick my dog up a day early. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”

“Would give more stars if I could. Scarlett was amazing! Camo had a great time, I had regular updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease leaving him. Will absolutely be using Scarlett again.”

“Jamie was extremely flexible with dates when watching our pup. We ended up changing our plans midway through our trip, and she accommodated those changes. It made all the difference in our vacation. She provides regular updates with pictures and also gives the pups ample time to play. We will definitely request her again when we are going out of town.”


“Flower enjoyed her weekend with Donald! She was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Drop off and pick-up were easy! Donald also sent several pictures of Flower while in his care and was easy to get in touch with while we were gone. We appreciated his care of Flower and will definitely use his services in the future!”

“We’re so glad we found Nancy! This was her first time watching our senior dog, who has a few special needs, and she took such great care of her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly has a big heart for animals. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“At our meet and greet, I knew Karen was the one whom we could leave our dog, Cocoa, with and know she's in good hands. We received daily updates on Cocoa. In no time, Cocoa warmed up to her furball friends and Karen. I highly recommend Karen if you're looking for someone to dog sit your dog.”


“Lawrence was great! I was really nervous leaving my boys with anyone but me (from previous bad sitters) but Lawrence did an amazing job! He sent me pictures almost everyday and even helped my big dog be properly introduced to other big dogs. I will definitely be going back and I'm almost positive my big dog wants me to take him back too ;)”

“Whenever I can't take the pups, I know I can count on Myra! She gives me updates and plays with them in her fenced-in yard. My dogs love Myra! She's a wonderful, dependable person to watch your fur babies while you're away.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who regularly helps care for my neighbors’ dogs in addition to caring for my own Labradoodle, Farley. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, supervision, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I take pet care very seriously. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine, personality, comfort level, and any instructions provided by their owner. I especially enjoy providing a calm, home-based environment and personalized care rather than a high-volume setting. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life. I spend a lot of time at home with my Labradoodle, Farley, and my routine includes walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention. I have a flexible schedule and prefer to keep my bookings limited so each dog can receive personalized care and supervision. I provide a calm, home-based environment with a fully fenced approximately 1/4-acre yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a doggy door, which allows dogs who are comfortable using it to move between the house and yard easily. I supervise dogs closely and follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs. I keep my bookings limited so I can provide plenty of individual attention and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and house rules and provide the same attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and updates.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Yelena exceeded our expectations immensely! From the first meeting until picking up our doggie, she was helpful, kind, and communicative. We appreciated the daily pictures and videos. She genuinely cares for other pups as if they were her own. We are very happy we found her and will definitely continue to use her. Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our Norman!”

“Natalie has been wonderful every time she has watched my babies. My cat is always waiting at the door for her so he has someone to play with. She takes plenty of pictures and is great at communicating. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Luca was the best sitter we’ve hired! The cats were well taken care of and it looked like they got a lot of snuggles. We came back to a clean house and happy kitties! The communication was prompt and all of my extensive directions were followed to a T! If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares hire Luca! 😊”

“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive when we updated her with tips and last minute concerns with our cats. She updated us with pictures and made sure each of our cats was doing well while we were away. We will definitely be trusting Kelsey to care for our pets in the future.”

“Haley came by for 3 drop-in visits to care for our two cats during the holiday weekend. Everything went as planned and she even made sure to find our cat that likes to hide to make sure he was okay. She cleaned the litterbox when needed and tried to play with the cats during the visits! If available, I will likely be booking Haley again for future visits!”


About: I have experience with family cats as well as checking in on others. While they may not need walks, it's important that cats get the daily affection and care they need as well! Whether it is feedings, treats, freshening up the litter box, or any other needs, I would love to help with your fur baby.

About: I have had the joy of watching two cats for friends of mine! Though I have not owned one of my own I absolutely adore caring for others when I can! With the right instructions and a friendly cat my skills are unmatched when it comes to the care i’m able to provide!

“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”

About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.

“I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.”

About: I have experience walking and caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just needs company and care, I’m happy to help.

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

I want pet Care to be able to be my full-time completely integrated daily routine I take care of my own animals but I would like to be able to take care of other people's full time. I do however start my program of study sometime in August. In a client's home I would strive to keep the same schedule for the pets because I'm sure that they are already stressed out when their people leave. This being same food bathroom routine making sure they get playtime attention.

Always treating animals as if they were my own pet! Very good at diagnosing the animal, whether high energy, or not!

About: I’m a dog owner of a 4-year-old German Shepherd with epilepsy and an 8-year-old Beagle. Caring for my Shepherd has given me hands-on experience administering medication on a consistent schedule, monitoring for seizures and staying calm and responsive if one occurs. My dogs are also decently trained, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands and maintaining structure. Having two completely different types of breeds also gives me experience with a different energy level and the attention to both of their different needs. Together they’ve taught me how to balance exercise, rest, mental stimulation, and individualized care for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Being a military veteran I am also reliable, and consistent. I have lived with dogs all of my life and love meeting all kinds of different breeds. I’m happy to follow your routines closely, send regular updates and photos, and provide the calm, consistent care that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on terminal leave from the military and will be starting my graduate program soon, with classes only on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of free time on the other weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for sitting, and walks most days and can easily adjust around my class times to provide pet care. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and temperaments and will follow your routines, medication needs, and any special instructions closely. I can crate when needed and always prioritize supervision, safety, and lots of positive interaction so your pup feels comfortable and well cared for.
About: Retired registered nurse, knows CPR and can administer meds. I love all pets, but can only board small pets in my home. If boarding in my home I prefer house trained and good with other small dogs. Can work with your pet on house training, crate training, and basic commands. I have never met a cat or dog I did not like and that did not like me in return. I would love to get to know you and your fur prince or princess. I can travel up to 20 miles, after that I need to charge more to compensate for gas. In the midst of training? I can help, I reward with praise and can reinforce your commands. I can not board cats, my old gal will not allow it. I am retired and other than occasional trips can modify my schedule to meet your pets needs. If your dog likes the dog park we are happy to go for a ride there. I have a fenced yard and 2 littles, one loves to play, the other is an observer. There is no way the dogs can get out of the yard.
About: I have loved all animals ever since I could remember. I have 2 dogs of my own who are high energy that I love dearly. What sets me apart from other profiles is I am a genuine person who will love your pets like my own and also won’t be shy about making sure you come home to a nice clean house. I can promise you that I will go above and beyond for your fury family members and make sure you are happy with my services! Additionally use my promo code for first time bookings! DANAH32598 I’m currently blessed with making my own schedule for work, giving me even more freedom to help take care of your furry family members. 🐶🐱 Just like people, every dog has a different personality. I would work with the owner and follow instructions for care and also get info on what their furry friends love the most! My job is to ease your mind while traveling and making sure your pet is comfortable while you are away.
About: I’ve had pets for over 12 years and have dog sat for a few people before so I know what is expected and how to make a new furry friend. I currently am on summer break from college and taking appointments until August 9th. I own a landscape company so I work the hours of my choice so I’m pretty flexible with scheduling. I love for animals just like they are a human, I am very respectful, responsible and patient when it comes to animals. Pets have my full heart.
About: With an extensive animal care and sitting background, I bring thoughtful service to all my clients. If you're looking for someone responsible and loving with high energy pets, elderly pets who may need medication, or anything in between, look no further. I'm also happy to take on plant care, aquarium maintenance, bringing in mail, etc. I'm pleased to offer drop in visits where possible as well as home stays. I book meet and greets with clients to find out all the details, and encourage open communication. If you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I generally have a pretty flexible schedule! We will set up expectations for your pet care and staying in touch in advance of each sit. :) I am big on photos, updates, and good communication in general. It is common to hear from me every day, with a multitude of photos.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the best care. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and small pets. I’m comfortable with any animal! I’m currently a full time nanny but during the school year, I have some availability from about 9Am to 12PM Monday- Thursday. I’m also available after about 5:30 PM Monday- Friday. I have 6 cats and 2 guinea pigs that I take care of in my home. They all get fed daily and cleaned up after.
About: I’ve had my dog for almost 8 years as well as took care of her 8 pups 4 years ago. I’ve also had over 10 dogs growing up. We love to play, take walks and cuddle. I work from home so I am able to tend to your pets needs. I also have a 5 year old daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do. I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I only leave the house for about 20 mins to take my daughter to and from school. I have one fur baby to keep your dog company. My complex has a dog park. And the neighborhood is great for walking. I also have an extra bedroom dedicated to extra pets if needed.

“We have left our pup with Brooke a couple of times now and she is amazing! Our pup is excited every time we pull into the driveway! Will definitely keep using Brooke!”

“Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!”

“Susan and her family love Penny like she’s their dog. When we pulled into the driveway, Penny couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. There is no greater review than your dog joyfully going to their boarder! Susan sends the best pictures and videos to recap the day. Susan has always communicated quickly. She is our go to boarder for our girl.”

“Alison was absolutely fantastic with my little pup, Tyson. Her own dogs made great playmates for my little guy and she was flexible and communicative when my family hoped to pick my dog up a day early. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“Would give more stars if I could. Scarlett was amazing! Camo had a great time, I had regular updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease leaving him. Will absolutely be using Scarlett again.”

“Jamie was extremely flexible with dates when watching our pup. We ended up changing our plans midway through our trip, and she accommodated those changes. It made all the difference in our vacation. She provides regular updates with pictures and also gives the pups ample time to play. We will definitely request her again when we are going out of town.”


“Flower enjoyed her weekend with Donald! She was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Drop off and pick-up were easy! Donald also sent several pictures of Flower while in his care and was easy to get in touch with while we were gone. We appreciated his care of Flower and will definitely use his services in the future!”


“Lawrence was great! I was really nervous leaving my boys with anyone but me (from previous bad sitters) but Lawrence did an amazing job! He sent me pictures almost everyday and even helped my big dog be properly introduced to other big dogs. I will definitely be going back and I'm almost positive my big dog wants me to take him back too ;)”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who regularly helps care for my neighbors’ dogs in addition to caring for my own Labradoodle, Farley. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, supervision, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I take pet care very seriously. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine, personality, comfort level, and any instructions provided by their owner. I especially enjoy providing a calm, home-based environment and personalized care rather than a high-volume setting. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life. I spend a lot of time at home with my Labradoodle, Farley, and my routine includes walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention. I have a flexible schedule and prefer to keep my bookings limited so each dog can receive personalized care and supervision. I provide a calm, home-based environment with a fully fenced approximately 1/4-acre yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a doggy door, which allows dogs who are comfortable using it to move between the house and yard easily. I supervise dogs closely and follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs. I keep my bookings limited so I can provide plenty of individual attention and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and house rules and provide the same attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and updates.
“Arya did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. He is high energy and she met his needs . She had a true bond with my dog and I plan to request her services again and again !”

“Cristy took great care of my 9mo old puppy. She was super accommodating and flexible with our last minute requests/changes. She has a fenced in yard that is a puppy's dream and her facebook page updates are excellent. My pup came back happy and I will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hey! I provide a personal and a home away from home style pet care experience for my boarded fur babies where there is even a built in 4 legged friend here for them to play with (my sweet dog). For my drop in clients I provide loving attention and basic necessities during my visits while your pets are in the comfort of their own home. I provide text message updates and photos throughout their stay and during my drop ins to keep you informed and give peace of mind about your fur babies while you're away. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups so they get that personal care regularly throw the day in the comfort of a home setting verses a boarding facility. I also have a dog that loves to play with others. When I am home dogs are free range through out the house and play time with my pup or snoozing on the couch. Your pups can also enjoy nice walks outside or some lounging time in the fresh air on the tie out.
“What a great experience with this family taking care of my girl. They put me at ease each step of the way. Paisley had the best time and she was so well looked after. Thank you for making her apart of your family for a few days!”

“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”

“Lipika was amazing and took great care of Diego while I was out of town. She sent multiple videos each day and made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing. He had so much fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“This was the second time Scout stayed with Megan and she had a great time. Megan kept me updated with daily photos and let me know how Scout was doing. I’ve already booked our next stay with Megan and her family.”


“Caitlin is soooo amazing! She sent updates, videos, and asked questions. She gave my dog additional dog food because I didn’t pack enough. I will definitely reach out in the future because my dog loved her and she loves my dog 😊”
