Personalized care for your dog or cat - Colfax
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Colfax
“They were so welcoming to my bully he didn’t even say goodbye and walked right in their house….geez thanks man! He was still excited to see me thankfully but that is the kind of care you can expect from them. They sent me updates regularly and are a very friendly couple. They are certainly people I would trust using again and plan to! Thanks for taking care of him so well!”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“I was able to arrange a brief meet-and-greet prior to dropping off my dog. The entire family--including parents, children, and pets--was all very friendly and welcoming to Buddy. They made him feel like part of the pack for an entire week. It took Buddy a few minutes to settle and become comfortable in a house with two other dogs, but pretty soon, he had made two new canine friends. I am grateful for a place he can feel comfortable and save while I am away. I would recommend this sitter to others for their warm and welcoming home.”
“Lutisa was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. She sent daily pictures and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog had plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It’s clear that Lutisa truly loves what she does. I will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations! ♥️ Bethune”
“Candice was absolutely wonderful with my puppy Blanca. She sent daily reports and lots pictures. She kept Blanca on the schedule she was on.. She asked before she done anything with her. I would definitely book in the future.”
“Starla and her family were loving and caring with Lola. She replied inmediately to all my texts and sent constant pictures of Lola. I will surely leave Lola with her again. Thanks!”
“Ellie and Karson were so good to my girl! Ellie kept me updated with pictures and took her on walks. My baby was taken very good care of! I would definitely let Ellie and Karson keep Charlie again in the future!!”
“Amazing sitter. Can’t believe we even almost took our boys to a boarding facility, this is the way to go. Gabrielle was fantastic looking after our little furry family members taking them to the dog park, walking regularly and even getting them pup cups for Sam’s birthday. She is also good with giving updates and sending pictures/videos throughout their stay. If Gabrielle is someone you’re thinking about requesting to take care of your fur baby and she is available look no further she’s perfect! <3”
“Christopher spent a lot of time giving my dog, Lucy, personal attention. She is a 14 year old who is very fussy when taking her food and many meds. He kept in contact with us and she looked very happy once he spoiled her. I would highly recommend Christopher.”
“Gina took wonderful care of my two standard schnauzer pups. They are nine months old and still have enough puppy in them to be a handful. She loved on my dogs, took them with her outside on walks and while working in the yard, sent me picture and video updates. I don't worry about my dogs in the least bit when they are with Gina. She will take excellent care of your dogs while she has them in her care. She's my #1 option for pet care. I highly recommend!”
“Melanie was a lifesaver! She took great care of Lola, got plenty updates and lots of pictures. Lola enjoyed the wonderful backyard and played lots. I would definitely contact Melany again!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls! One of them has complicated feeding instructions and several medications, and she handled it like a pro! She sent updates at least daily, but sometimes more than once a day. She was awesome and I felt so comfortable leaving my girls with her! Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“I was comfortable from the moment I dropped Jessie off at Rachael's until the minute I picked her up, because it was obvious she loves dogs and they love her. Jessie took to Rachael right away and acted as if going to her house was a common thing even though they just met. I received several pictures each day and an update on how things were going. I think Rachael took really good care of Jessie and both Jessie and I look forward to a return trip!”
“Tina was such a great sitter for Modelo. She kept me updated the whole time she had him and I knew he was really having a great time. I definitely plan to use her in the future”
“Everything was perfect. Sent regular photos & even understood when I had to leave Copper a night longer. Copper seemed to enjoy it so much that he wanted to stay. It was a 45 minute trip for me but it was worth it!”
“Elizabeth and Nick were tremendously accommodating for our Annie and around a crazy weekend of travel. Annie loved her stay! Would certainly recommend and use Elizabeth and Nick again!”
“Adoni has watched our pup many times for one and two week periods. We have complete confidence in her . Our little Yorkie has come to love and enjoy spending time with Adoni. We are always getting notes and pics sent to us while we are away and have come to consider her a good friend”
“Pat took amazing care of our 2 dogs! She took the time to make them comfortable in her home, sent us pictures and updates throughout the week, and gave them plenty of love and attention!”

I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-olds to senior companions up to 19 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Chelsey was amazing in watching our cats while we were out of town. Sent amazing pictures and even cleaned up a few mess spots for us so we didn’t have to worry about it when we got home. She was a breeze to work with and we absolutely look forward to utilizing her sitting services again in the future!”
“She was excellent. She took videos and photos of Sugarlyn so we could see how she was doing. She communicated with us when she had to work and even worked around her lunch so she would have time to stop by in the morning check. I recommend her highly and will definitely continue to use her when we need the service”
“Michael took care of my 2 kittens for a week while I was gone. He is a wonderful photographer and sent me adorable pictures and videos each visit. He didn’t only feed them but he also played with them and gave them lots of attention. I can’t say enough good about him. The best!”

“Tricia took such wonderful care of my two cats while I was out of town for a week. One of my cats was sick and she did an amazing job keeping up with all of her daily meds. My kitties warmed up to her quickly, even my shy girl. Will absolutely be booking with Tricia again in the future :)”
“My fur babies are so loved and spoiled by Michele and Charles. We know they will be in a good hand. Another successful trip with a peace of mind. Thank you Michele and Charles.”

We are really happy to have found people we can trust, & will be using them every time we travel. Thank you so much!”

“McKenna was great! We had to go out of town on short notice and McKenna was able to squeeze us in and took wonderful care of our cats. One of our cats is very friendly but the other is slower to warm up to strangers. She was sensitive to the differences in their personalities and was able to get our shy cat to warm up to her quite a bit in the few days we were gone. We will absolutely ask McKenna first the next time we have to go out of town!”

“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I've raised them from playful puppies to loyal seniors, so I understand what each stage of life requires. I've always been surrounded by dogs and have looked after pets for friends and family over the years. I know how important it is to give them comfort, consistency, and love while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own!🩷Belly rubs included of course!☺️ I am currently a full time online student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry, loving friend whenever needed. I can perfectly fit them into my routine and adjust as necessary!☺️ Although I don't have a fenced yard, my neighborhood is big with lots of green space to take walks and play. While inside the house, they are free to roam around and cuddle or be crated if needed. If your pup is staying the night, I can ensure they will be comfortable all night long and will be well taken care of.🫶🏻
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have dog sat for my friend’s families a few times either by dog sitting or just checking in on them. I have interacted with many different breeds of dogs. I am currently finishing online school and waiting to go back to college in the fall so I am am able to take care of your pets within a flexible schedule. I have a 6 year old border collie/german shepherd mix and just recently had a pit/lab mix pass away. My 6 year old now is walked and played with everyday and she is well trained. She gets a treat a day and fed morning and night.
“Our dogs Luna and Lehla had an amazing time. Both were very well cared for. We were sent pictures of them playing through out the day as well. Highly recommend booking her for your first babies!”
“Allison did a great job keeping Rigel, she kept me updated and sent pictures of her day. I work long hours and it means alot to have her with someone I can trust. I know I will need Allison again in the future!”
“Christina was welcoming and professional and the bonus was making my fur baby feel like family when her kids came home for school! I would recommend and use her services again”
“I cannot say enough good things about this pet sitter. Chris truly went above and beyond—constant communication, thoughtful updates, extra attention to my Gracie, and genuine care. Gracie totally adored him, and I felt completely at ease while I was away from her. A wonderful experience from start to finish.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, and because of my close involvement with animals, I’ve always derived great joy from taking care of them. I would love to meet your animals and provide them whatever they need, whenever they need it. I am currently enrolled in Guilford Technical Community College and have a very open school schedule for whenever you would like to book. I’m flexible! :) I have a large, fenced in backyard and a nice cat-friendly home for them to walk into. Additionally, I strive to always care with a warm and welcoming demeanor.
“I ABSOLUTELY adore Trya! My dog is a handful but Tyra has no problem with that! I get pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, I was hesitant about having someone else watch my dog but I know I made a great choice with Tyra. My fur baby loves going to day care!”
About: I am a huge dog lover! I truly believe dogs are better than humans. I’ve loved dogs since I was a little girl and always dog sat any chance I could get. Friends, neighbors, and family members have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets and I enjoy it all. I recently started a part time job where I work 3 days a week, but I still have plenty of time to attend to your fur baby/babies. I have a spacious .5 acre backyard that is PARTIALLY fenced, which means plenty of space to play fetch! I never leave my dog outside by herself and won’t leave yours by themselves either. I have a wiener dog who can help keep your fur baby company. I have a safe neighborhood and take my dog for walks frequently and would love to take yours as well. I can crate your dog during the day and/or night if that is what you prefer, otherwise I am fine with leaving them out during the day/night! I am a huge dog lover and will spoil your fur baby just as much as mine.
“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter! She has kept my nine-year-old Maltipoo, Happy, several times. Each time, Stephanie went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and to ensure that Happy felt right at home. Even her poodle, Sammy, was the perfect "little host' and is now Happy's new BFF. The photo updates that Stephanie sent me throughout the day always brought smiles to my face as I could see how much Happy was enjoying himself as he and Sammy explored her lovely fenced backyard or sat together staring outside. I am so pleased to have found such a wonderful and safe "home away from home" for my little fur baby.”
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”
“Danielle was fantastic. We visited first then booked. She offered Lucy plenty of breaks to support her puppy needs. I love the report at the end with photos!!”
“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”

About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away.

I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hello! I’m an animal science major at North Carolina State University. I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years now for friends and family. I worked at Willow Run Dog Boarding for 4 years before they sold it. I’ve also helped out long-term for a family who worked night shifts for a year and I foster dogs through Saving Grace while I’m at school! I’m a college student home for the summer, and I'm currently looking for a part-time job. I’m free all day everyday 🤗 I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes. At home, we have a fenced-in yard and one husky, but I prefer caring for pets through home visits so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m also happy to help with small tasks around the house like watering plants, bringing in mail, or keeping things tidy while you’re away. I enjoy being active and outdoors, while also making sure pets stay safe and comfortable in the heat.
“Breanna was an exceptional pet sitter in every single way. She came over to do a M&G with our pups ahead of time, was super quick and professional in her responses to us, and took care with every single detail of how to best care for our pups in our absence. The report cards every day came with 10-12 photos, detailed summaries of their day, and descriptions of their behavior that were so specific to our pups that we knew she was spending that extra quality time with them. When she said she was treating them as her very own - she was genuine about it. We came home to a clean house, fresh full water, and two very happy dogs. Breanna is our top choice of sitter from now on. The peace of mind, quality of her care, and reliable communication makes her a cut above any pet sitter experience we’ve had previous to Breanna.”
“So so wonderful to find Tricia and not have to worry about Shelby so we could enjoy a few days away! She was attentive, prompt, responsive, and the whole package. We will be using her again!”
About: Hi! I'm Gabrielle, a passionate animal lover, proud dog mom to my 3 year old pup Yonah, and a full time elementary school teacher! Now that summer is here, I have a very flexible schedule. Looking for someone to take your dog on walks, give them lots of love, and keep you updated with adorable photos while you're away? I’ve got you covered! We'll collaborate to make sure your pet has a tail-wagging good time while you’re gone! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since elementary school—also helping with fish, frogs, a bird, and a hamster, and eventually convincing my parents I was ready for a dog of my own. My sister and I lovingly cared for our family dog until she was 14, and now Yonah, my own "dog daughter," keeps me on my toes with her sweet, fun-loving spirit that matches mine perfectly. With six years of teaching under my belt, I bring a nurturing, patient, and dependable presence to every pet I care for. Whether your pup loves cuddles, outdoor adventures, or just someone to chill with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I have a fenced in patio and access to beautiful walking trail. I also am near dog parks and around pet friendly businesses if you'd like your pet to be socialized. I'm currently a teacher, so I have flexibility on weekends when it comes to caring for your pup! I work during the week, but before & after school I take time to do the things I enjoy, like taking walks! With my own puppy, I take time after my workdays to take her for walks, playdates, or play time at the dog parks. Whether it's a short lap around the neighborhood or a long stroll through town, I can work with you to fit you and your dog's needs. I am very attentive and am sure to keep an eye out for your pet's safety and comfortability at all times, whether in home or on a walk. I also have a playful, 3 year old mini cockapoo that can keep your dog company on our walks or playdates (if requested).
About: I'm a volunteer at an animal shelter where I clean up after and take care of a range of dog breeds. I have trained both of my parents' puppies and have been around dogs my entire life. I love being around animals, and I can't wait to take care of yours! I am a graduate student looking to care for your fur babies in my free time! I'm available on Mondays and Tuesdays before 3 pm, and all day on Fridays-Sundays! I know how important it is for dogs to keep their routine, so please let me know how you care for your dog, and I will do the same.
About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve navigated everything from the 'puppy phase' to the delicate needs of senior dogs, including hands-on medical care like shots and daily meds. These days, I spend my time with Alfie, my 3-year-old Golden Retriever. I’ve raised him since he was a puppy, training him myself and enjoying our daily routine of fetch and lounging. I’ve never met a dog I didn't like, and I’m just as comfortable handling a tiny Terrier as I am a powerful Cane Corso! I am a teacher on summer break looking to put pet parents minds at ease just as my own Rover sitter does during the school year! As a professional educator, I bring a high level of safety, accountability, and care to my students and pets. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with a focus on security and routine. I’m happy to let your pups out for some fresh air in a fenced yard or take them on leashed walks to burn off some energy.
“Danielle is wonderful! Would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! I’m a traveling nurse with a mini Aussie who isn’t a fan of being cooped up all day so Danielle was a god send for Pi and I. She’s very adjusting to schedule and times and is always there when we need her no matter the day of the week. She treats Pi as her own and we cannot recommend her enough! Dependable, reliable, trustworthy, loving, caring, playful, and just all around amazing! We LOVE Danielle!”
About: I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life—I’ve had a dog since I was 3 years old. I grew up with German Shepherds and have also spent a lot of time caring for smaller breeds like Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, and Dachshunds through family. I have a genuine love for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I would truly enjoy the opportunity to care for your furry family member while you’re away. I’m a full-time graduate student during the day and work part-time a few days during the week, which means my afternoons are typically free. This gives me plenty of time to spend quality time with your furry companion and get to know their personality, needs, and routine while you’re away. In your home, I will provide attentive and personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of affection, as well as administering basic medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home tidy, follow any specific instructions you provide, and send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of pets for a very long time, growing up with a dog and as an adult having two cats. I love animals so much, and my biggest priority will always be their safety and comfort. When it comes to dogs, I've pet-sat and done drop-ins for many peoples pets these past years. I love going on long walks with dogs that need them, and I understand some have limitations and may just need to be let out to the back yard too. I also love to play with the more energetic ones that want to play. I'm very respectful of your space and privacy. I'll make sure that if I stay in your home to pet-sit, everything will be back they way it was (pr better) by the time I've finished taking care of your dog. I can also administer topical and oral medications for dogs, so if they need daily pills or to have their flea and tick preventative administered, I can absolutely help! I'm also happy to provide daily check-ins with you regarding your pet! If you need someone detail-oriented, attentive, and respectful of your pet's boundaries, then I'm here for you. I work part time and I can make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to either drop in to take care of your pets, or stay in your home with them! I'm happy to follow any instructions you leave regarding your pet's safety. If you need to ensure that child protective locks are always in place or that you dog gets crated at the end of the day, I can guarantee that will happen. I'm also very cautious of little escape artists, and will be sure that your pets are securely in your home as I'm leaving and entering.
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
“Abby was so great with our Ella. She arrived on time and took great care in remembering all the nuanced instructions we had. Ella enjoyed a great walk and we were happy to know she was taken care of while we were away. 🐶❤️”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a little girl playing in the dirt on a country farm. I’ve been around animals in some capacity all my life. I’ve owned many different breeds of dogs throughout my life, from small to large. I currently have one little Yorkiepoo, Ella, who is most definitely a lap dog, always searching for a good tummy rub, and who is missing her sweet brother, Odie, a dachshund mix who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. We miss our sweet boy so much. I am also the very proud grandma to two sweet grandpups whom I dog-sit regularly. Meadow Maui, a sweet, shy Golden Pyrenees, and Fawn Faye, a rambunctious Rough Collie, have me wrapped around their paws. They love visiting Grandma’s house because they know it’s full of treats, belly rubs, snuggles, and nonstop spoiling. 🐾 I am currently a teacher who will be home for the summer beginning June 13th, and I’m looking for some extra grandpups to spoil during the summer months. I am available daily for drop-ins, cuddles, and dog walks. I can also dog-sit overnight in your home. Depending on the type of dog and whether they do well with other dogs, I occasionally offer dog sitting in my home as well. As a teacher, I am a rule follower, pay close attention to detail, and strive to make your pups fall in love with their temporary grandma. I’m used to being up super early and will make sure your pups get the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away. My daughter is in the vet tech industry and is always a phone call away to answer any questions I may have about basic dog care needs.
About: I’m a dedicated cat owner of two adorable cats and understand how important routines, litter box monitoring, feeding schedules, and daily updates are for pet parents. My childhood dog passed away last year, but he was an 110 lb German Shepherd /Alaskan Malamute and I would walk him daily, so I am no stranger to big dogs! I will make sure to send many update pics 😊 Use my code below for $20 off your first Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/audref10358 I currently work a 9-5 but am off at 12 on Fridays, so I am available after work for walks and drop-in’s as well as anytime Friday after 1 and anytime on the weekends! My cats are indoor cats but I am no stranger to taking care of dogs, and big ones at that. Your pet’s safety is my #1 concern

“They were so welcoming to my bully he didn’t even say goodbye and walked right in their house….geez thanks man! He was still excited to see me thankfully but that is the kind of care you can expect from them. They sent me updates regularly and are a very friendly couple. They are certainly people I would trust using again and plan to! Thanks for taking care of him so well!”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“I was able to arrange a brief meet-and-greet prior to dropping off my dog. The entire family--including parents, children, and pets--was all very friendly and welcoming to Buddy. They made him feel like part of the pack for an entire week. It took Buddy a few minutes to settle and become comfortable in a house with two other dogs, but pretty soon, he had made two new canine friends. I am grateful for a place he can feel comfortable and save while I am away. I would recommend this sitter to others for their warm and welcoming home.”
“Christopher spent a lot of time giving my dog, Lucy, personal attention. She is a 14 year old who is very fussy when taking her food and many meds. He kept in contact with us and she looked very happy once he spoiled her. I would highly recommend Christopher.”
“Melanie was a lifesaver! She took great care of Lola, got plenty updates and lots of pictures. Lola enjoyed the wonderful backyard and played lots. I would definitely contact Melany again!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls! One of them has complicated feeding instructions and several medications, and she handled it like a pro! She sent updates at least daily, but sometimes more than once a day. She was awesome and I felt so comfortable leaving my girls with her! Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“I was comfortable from the moment I dropped Jessie off at Rachael's until the minute I picked her up, because it was obvious she loves dogs and they love her. Jessie took to Rachael right away and acted as if going to her house was a common thing even though they just met. I received several pictures each day and an update on how things were going. I think Rachael took really good care of Jessie and both Jessie and I look forward to a return trip!”
“Tina was such a great sitter for Modelo. She kept me updated the whole time she had him and I knew he was really having a great time. I definitely plan to use her in the future”
“Everything was perfect. Sent regular photos & even understood when I had to leave Copper a night longer. Copper seemed to enjoy it so much that he wanted to stay. It was a 45 minute trip for me but it was worth it!”
“Elizabeth and Nick were tremendously accommodating for our Annie and around a crazy weekend of travel. Annie loved her stay! Would certainly recommend and use Elizabeth and Nick again!”
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 15 years as a dog groomer and pet care provider. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I currently offer overnight and daycare services, in a safe, loving, and low stress environment. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, medication reminders, potty breaks, or simply companionship while you’re away, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for like family in my home. Because of my grooming background, I’m experienced handling dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities including senior dogs, anxious pets, and dogs with special care needs. Safety, cleanliness, patience, and positive interaction are always my top priorities. I work around animals full-time, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to providing dependable communication, updates, and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I know every pet is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities and routines to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home and run my own pet care business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need, whether it’s weekday cuddles, weekend playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is strictly supervised and leashed, no exceptions. I provide plenty of potty breaks, structured walks, and engaging indoor play in a clean, cozy, and calm home setting.
“Maribel was so sweet with our dogs! I have one that is 14 so I do worry about her more when we leave, but it was so nice knowing that we didn’t need to worry about her while we were on vacation. I will definitely try to use her again!”
“Super attentive and loving to our Zoe! Sarah sent updates throughout of our girl so we always knew she was safe and SO happy! Her family loved on her so much as well that we plan to have Sarah babysit for us any and every time we can!”
“Taylor is amazing! She took such a good care of Canelo while I was at work, her dog Rêve played with him all day. It was wonderful to come home and have him tired out and happy.”
“Paige is my go to dog sitter! She is willing to be flexible and follow my dogs daily routine. She is always quick to communicate. She sends daily updates with photos. My dogs always love spending time with her!”
“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”
