Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elon
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Elon
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“Anna is overall, WONDERFUL! She’s so friendly and has such good energy! Within minutes of starting our meet and greet I knew she’d be a great fit! She kept us updated as we wanted and really seemed to be enjoying herself! I would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
“Very nice family! I was at ease as soon as I arrived. My dogs felt like they were at home. I was sent pictures daily with updates. My dogs were very well taken care of. Thomas and his wife were awesome and very welcoming. Will definitely use them again for my fur babies.”
“Joaquin did a rear job as a sitter. I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week because she can be anxious and scared but she looked very happy and at ease in all the videos and pictures we received. Would definitely book again 10/10”
“Sarah and her husband both do an incredible job taking care of my little Jackson. He's a high energy, anxious mini aussie, and it’s not easy finding someone I can trust to put in the level of care and patience that he needs to feel comfortable. Jackson always comes back home healthy and relaxed after staying with Sarah. Very happy with their service! Thank you!”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
“Grace was awesome! I had to travel last minute for work and just relocated to the area and wanted to make sure Bella would be taken care of. Grace had great reviews and I knew she the one. She sent my pictures through out the weekend and kept me updated. Bella was so happy and enjoyed her stay. We will book again! Thanks for being wonderful Grace.”
“Sarah was amazing! She treated our furbaby with so much care, her and her family! Our son got a long super well with her kids and just enjoyed every playtime with them. She sent a lot of picture updates which I loved and answered pretty quickly. He loved it over there so much we will definitely be going back!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Candice is truly the best! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She is clean, reliable, and incredibly thorough in her care. I especially appreciate the detailed daily reports she provides, it’s so reassuring to know how my pup’s day went. Her upbeat personality and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Candice is the one.”
“This was our first time using Tara as a sitter and we were very happy with the experience. Tara was professional and clearly knew how to care for and interact with Brandy who is a little timid around new people. Tara worked with Brandy to get her comfortable with a new routine, and showed resourcefulness in getting Brandy to take her meds and be comfortable eating in a new environment. Tara sent us pictures and kept us informed about Brandy's progress. Brandy clearly felt comfortable and content under Tara's care. We will definitely be having Tara care for Brandy again!”
“Debbie exceeded my expectations. She really cared for my dog as if it were her own. Debbie gave me daily updates and sent cute pictures. That made me feel relief and I could enjoy my time away without worrying. I would definitely go back to Debbie anytime I need pet sitting services.”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“My dog Bella stayed for around 8 days and I couldn’t have trusted someone else more. Kenan was always ready to send me pictures and videos to not make me worry. It was our first time with them and we will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need. Bella got to play with other dogs and make many friends. I definitely recommend them!”
“My dog Dakota loved staying with Tami! I was in town for the weekend for a family visit and I couldn’t keep Dakota with me during the time, but I still wanted her close to me. Tami texted me with updates and pictures every day and I could tell my dog was safe and comfortable with her. She did a really good job working with my dog and did everything to make Dakota feel at home. Will definitely use her in the future if I bring Dakota back and would highly recommend!”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter! From the get go she was able to get my normally nervous rescue feeling comfortable. And also made me feeling comfortable leaving for with a sitter after recently relocating to the greater Raleigh area. Lauren was extremely responsive, gave me a tour of her property (with a spacious and gated outdoor area) and shared daily photo and text updates. I’ll absolutely be recommending her to all dog owners, and feel so fortunate to have found a great boarding option for my pup!”
About: We were raising dogs before we had children. Siberian Huskies, Akitas, rescue dogs, and Icelandic Sheepdogs. There have been dogs in our home for over 50 years. Our pets are a part of the family and greet us each day with a licky kiss on the chin. Our grandchildren love to play with Spensa when they visit. Pet care is intentional and a part of our daily routine. With the morning coffee comes the morning run around the back yard. With my breakfast is the dogs breakfast. If we go for a walk, so does the dog! We all just do life together as we can! We have a fenced yard allowing plenty of room to run and play. Our dog is very friendly and is very comfortable being around other dogs. She is current on all vacinations. Should you required you dog to be crated for any reason, we would be more than willing to comply to your requests.

Cat caregivers near you - Elon
“Shelby did an amazing job visiting and caring for our elderly kitty while we were away. She provided daily updates and was a great help. We would absolutely hire her again. This was our first experience on Rover and we were very impressed.”
“Amber is fabulous as always! I've had Amber watch my senior cat numerous times over the past year. Extremely dependable. I appreciate her greatly and would highly recommend her.”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“This was the first time I asked Gretchen to care of my senior cats. They seemed very well cared for and the instructions I left were carefully followed. Everything was neat and clean and I would not only ask Gretchen to come again, I would recommend her to anyone wanting a caring pet sitter. Thank you Gretchen.”
“Grace is exceptional, above and beyond, caring and attentive. I am a very high-maintenance cat mama with an older girl who needs multiple pills, and Grace handled this effortlessly, sending pictures and reassuring me whenever I needed it. I’ll be booking her again when I have to travel next!!”
“Cynthia went above and beyond. Our cats were in good care while my husband and I were away. Cynthia cared for them as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable and kind. I fully recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Betsy did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and playing with them in the backyard during the drop-ins. By the looks of the Rover photos, I can tell that the dogs love playing and getting all the head scratches from her. Definitely recommended!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have had the opportunity to take care of my neighbors and friends pets for about 10 years, since I was 12. I love walking dogs and giving pets the love they so deserve! I am currently in Physical Therapy school at Elon University, and my hours in class are usually 8-4 M-F. My evenings and weekends are free, I am starting Rover to earn some money to help me get through my PT program! Hanging out with your pets will also serve as a great stress reliever for me too! I live on the third floor in my apartment complex, so preferably I will come to you and allow the pets to stay in their own comfortable environment! However, I do not have any pets in my apartment right now, making it easier to board them if needed. I also live across from a park that is perfect for walking dogs if they need more space!
About: I am a professor at a local university with a flexible schedule who loves hanging out with all sorts of pets. I am professional, punctual, and playful. My wife, Diana, works from home so between the two of us there’s pretty much always someone home hanging out with our doggie guests. We live on 4 acres, about half of which is fenced in for the doggos to run and play safely. We only crate if they are comfortable with that, and if no one is home. My teaching schedule allows me to be home a lot during the week and I am open most weekends. I am also pretty flexible to do drop ins and walks, as well as pickup/dropoff. My wife, Diana, works from home and helps with the pet care. Pretty much someone is always home so the pet guests normally hang out with us most of the day. I know every pet has their own personality so I like to get to know each pet individually and speak with their owners to come up with a care plan. We aim to create the same level of comfort here that your pet has at home. Our guests are part of the family while they are here.
About: As a doggie mother and animal lover, I will provide excellent and personable care for your furry family member. I have had pets my entire life and I never met an animal who did not absolutely adore me. I will love up on them, teach them and make sure that they are having the time of their lives. I offer dog sitting in my home or yours, play dates, walks and I even have a natural gift for potty training little ones quickly. I am more than happy to provide food and toys for your pet but feel free to supply me with their own special or favorite goodies. Let me care for your pet today! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur family.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my hands-on experience with cats at every stage of life, from playful kittens to senior cats needing gentle, attentive care. Growing up on a farm gave me daily experience reading animal behavior, understanding subtle changes, and responding calmly and confidently to their needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, or independent cats who may need patience and a quiet approach to feel safe. I also have experience with young kittens, including bottle feeding and providing extra support during early development. I understand that cats thrive on routine, so I prioritize maintaining their feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and preferred environments exactly as they’re used to. Most importantly, I don’t just “check in” on cats — I take time to build trust at their pace, respect their space, and ensure they feel secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive reliable updates so you always know your cat is comfortable and cared for.
About: I have a big back yard for your doggo to run around in! As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to keep your puppy busy. I give great belly rubs and I know how to throw the ball around for some fun! I’m a college student who is home full time currently and would love to play with your doggo! I’ve been dog sitting for a very long time. I know how dogs get lonely and need a friend to play with! I’m super excited to get to know your little fur ball and have some fun! I can’t wait to take care of your dog and take him or her for walks and some fun in the backyard! Thank you!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elon
“Thanks for taking care of Murdock for the weekend! I can tell he already wants to come back and hang out with the other pups. Looking forward to the next stay!”
“Sarah and Josiah always take great care of our pup! He was so happy to hang out with them today and is absolutely exhausted now that he’s home - which means he had way too much fun!”
About: I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and lots of attention! What sets me apart is my experience with all types of dogs, from playful puppies to gentle adults. I understand how to care for dogs with different energy levels, and I’m comfortable following special routines and giving medications. I also focus on creating a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home, whether we’re playing fetch or just enjoying cuddle time. You can count on me for dependable communication, consistent updates, and a lot of tail wags! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home! This allows me to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My flexible schedule also means I can easily stick to your pet’s routine and provide a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. For boarding and doggy day care in my home, your pet will enjoy a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard yet, all outside time is fully supervised with leashed walks and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have cozy spaces to rest, toys to play with, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space where routines are followed to help your pet feel comfortable and secure.
“Zydae was wonderful from messaging to the Meet & Greet to the doggie daycare services. Our pup is a bit shy at first (stranger danger), so when she wagged her tail with Zydae and saw how they engaged together, we felt good about it :) As first time parents, Zydae communicated well throughout the day and sent photos and videos, which brought us so much joy since it was Ryn’s first drop-off ever! Huge plus that she has other pups to play with too. Would definitely book again. Thank you Zydae ?”
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
“Erin is very responsive, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up and I can tell she loves doggies! She stayed in contact with me throughout Milly's stay to let me know how she was doing! Large fenced in back yard for the pups to run and play! When I picked Milly up, I could tell she had a great time (even slept the three hours home)! I will definitely be using Erin in the future when we travel to Elon to visit my daughter and would recommend her to others staying in the area! Thank again Erin!!”

I also volunteer at the animal shelter both spending time with shelter dogs and helping with adoptions. Most of my life revolves around dogs and I like it that way. Please check out my Google profile to see several reviews! I own my own Dog business, and work from home. I spend most of my time with my dogs and enjoying others babies as well I have a fenced in yard and live on a dead end street in a quiet neighborhood. The indoor space is climate controlled and video monitored. The dogs will be crated for rest time and night time.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.

About: I have never gone a year of my life without owning at least 2 dogs. I have always trained them well with leash training, potty, and crate training. I now am training a service dog (with the help of some classes) and am learning so much more about a dog’s health, needs, and how to learn from them as much as they learn from us. I know that when I go out of town I want the best care for my dogs and I want to provide a good place for other dogs to stay as well. I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week). I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)
About: Hello! My name is Aubrey And Family My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets (Cooper) and caring for family, and friends over the years. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I am home most of the time, ensuring your dogs receive constant love, care, and attention. We provide everything they need to feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I provide a safe, cozy environment for your dogs, giving you peace of mind knowing they are cared for, comfortable, and happy while boarding with us.
About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!
About: I treat every dog like family—lots of love, attention, and a routine that keeps them comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with both energetic puppies (helping reinforce potty training, basic commands, and structure) and senior dogs who need a little extra care, patience, and sometimes medication support. I’m very attentive and pick up quickly on each dog’s personality and needs. Plus, I keep you updated with pictures and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing! Pet care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly schedule so I can provide consistent, high-quality attention without ever feeling rushed. I block off time specifically for each pet to ensure they receive the care, exercise, and interaction they’re used to at home. My routine is designed to prioritize reliability, flexibility, and a calm, structured environment—so your dog experiences stability, not disruption. I provide care that keeps your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether in my home or yours. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, including medications. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets receive plenty of attention, supervised care, and a calm routine. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality—whether they need more activity, structure, or a quieter setting. My goal is always the same: your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job. I love dogs, cats and any other animals as well. Being surrounded by furry friends genuinely makes me happier and I would love to provide my services to help other furry parents out. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently don't have any obligations as I am a free to walk any furry friend throughout any times of the day. Please reach out! As of now, I cannot make any accommodations for pet in-home boarding. I currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets but I am willing do client in-home pet sitting and pet walks.
About: What makes me special? Everything!!! A dog has always been a family member since I can remember. Thank God for loving parents who believed in bringing all kinds of pets in our home. We had birds, hamsters, and even the occasional snake or frog from the yard! There is a certain bond you get from a dog that you cannot get from any other animal, though...and I am lucky enough to have experienced that. My parents are proud owners of a rescue cat, and my sister's family has 3 kitties in their happy home!! They also have a sweet little gerbil that has somehow survived all of those felines! You can definitely tell we are a family of animal lovers!!! Since February 2017, my family "farm" has grown. I raised 21 babychicks from a day old...8 of which were ours, the rest for 2 other families...then we added 3 more, barely mature, hens and a rooster to our flock. It has definitely been a fun and wonderful learning experience! I have a wonderful rescued Pit, Buddy! We raised those chicks with Buddy around...so he is great with them! It's pretty amazing!!! (Oh...and just to clarify...Buddy will stay home during any visits/stays with your pet(s). That way you'll know your baby/babies are receiving the full attention they deserve!) Buddy is probably the most spoiled dog in the world because I make practically everything for him, from his shampoos (using essential oils) to his treats. He does get the dental treats at least once a day, but other than that...he's a gourmet doggie! I am a stay-at-home pup Mom...so on the 24 hour overnight visits with me, I'll only need to leave a couple of times during the day to take Buddy out to play, etc....he'll be with his Dad all night. Otherwise, I'm all yours, so if you need someone there to take your baby out literally every 2 hours or less, I can do it!! :-) I do Daycare a little different than Rover does...I only offer daycare in your home. I feel this is the best way to keep your pets in a place they feel super comfortable & with a sitter who will keep them happy, healthy and on their schedule completely. I will always keep you up to date on how your pet or pets are doing and will send you plenty of pictures if you wish! Extras services available: Baths with or w/o essential oils, Homemade bath soap with essential oils to-go (made with any requested oils from list), Doggie bag of treats to-go (made to your pet's dietary needs.) I have numerous flours available to meet any digestive issues. - No preservatives & human-grade (though some flavors may not suit human's taste buds!) By the way...I am no salesperson... & will never try to sell you any extras...these are just other things I offer if you are interested. Just feel free to ask if you are interested. :-)

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Elon
“Shiloh adores her and is always ready to go! Destini pays attention to details and always reports back any information about the walk that might be helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Karrington was great with my dog Kahne. I had to make a last minute request and she helped me out a ton. My dog is shy and she was great with him! Thank you so much for taking care of my pet!”
About: As a doggie mother and animal lover, I will provide excellent and personable care for your furry family member. I have had pets my entire life and I never met an animal who did not absolutely adore me. I will love up on them, teach them and make sure that they are having the time of their lives. I offer dog sitting in my home or yours, play dates, walks and I even have a natural gift for potty training little ones quickly. I am more than happy to provide food and toys for your pet but feel free to supply me with their own special or favorite goodies. Let me care for your pet today! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur family.
About: As a dog mom myself, I understand the desire for your pet to feel loved and well-cared for. I've had my sweet Australian Shepherd, Bailey, for 7 years now. Although she is quirky and weird, she is the most precious thing to me and my family. It is SO important to be able to learn the unique personalities of each animal you encounter. It is my promise to you that I will work with your pet in a way that suits their needs while giving them quality attention--the same way that I would want someone to treat mine. I've been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all shapes and sizes, from tiny pups to gentle giants. I also fostered a dog while I was in college, which really taught me how to handle different temperaments and help a nervous dog feel safe and comfortable in a new routine. Whether your pup needs a high-energy game of fetch or a structured walk, I will keep them safe, entertained, and most importantly healthy! I'm currently working part-time as a medical assistant, so weekends are great for me. I can also do more weekdays as my schedule is made and will post my availability as soon as possible on a recurring basis. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, but have great access to safe walking areas in my neighborhood. My apartment is big enough to accomodate dogs of all sizes, and is animal-proofed!
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in caring for them from a young age. Through owning dogs and helping with their daily care, I've gained experience with feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've also pet sat for friends and family, including caring for up to five dogs at once over a weekend. This experience has allowed me to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care. I have open availability Monday - Friday and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and overnight stays if needed. Im flexible and happy to work with pet owners to meet their pets' schedules and routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel comfortable and confident that your furry baby is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra attention, I’m comfortable providing the care they deserve. I offer reliable walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, always making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Treating every dog like my own is my top priority! I’m currently a senior in college taking just one class, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day and week. I can easily adjust to your pets schedule! I am an extremely careful and diligent pet caregiver. Whether walking on the street or caring for your pet in your home, your pet is always my #1 focus and responsibility.
“Lindsay is great! She came to meet Cypress first, and they hit it off. Now Cypress gets super excited to see her and didn't even want her to go home. Super appreciate that she can come walk her while I'm working.”
About: Growing up as a farm girl taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, shy pets, senior animals, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for young animals, including bottle feeding kittens and providing extra attention to pets that need specialized care. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their routines, behaviors, and comfort so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, so I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care every time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my multiple part-time jobs because I’ve learned how to stay organized, reliable, and flexible with my time. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I intentionally plan ahead so I can give each pet sitting visit my full attention and consistency. Because my jobs are part-time, I have built-in availability during mornings, evenings, and flexible gaps in the day that allow me to provide dependable check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’m careful about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to without rushing or cutting corners. Pet sitting is something I genuinely prioritize in my routine — it’s not just extra work, it’s time I set aside to care for animals, give them attention, and make sure pet parents feel confident and updated while they’re away. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for you and what your pet is most comfortable with. In your home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If care takes place in my home, your pet will be in a calm, safe, and supervised environment where they receive the same level of attention and routine-based care. I make sure they have a comfortable space, regular outdoor breaks or playtime, and a low-stress setting that feels secure and welcoming. I limit distractions and other animals as needed so each pet gets proper individual care. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all sizes from baby kittens to Great Danes! I love inviting animals into my life like my own, and many owners have seen that throughout the years! I’d love to take care of your fur babies (or furless)! I’m looking forward to handing out some extra help to the pet owners in this community. I always make time to lend a helping hand anywhere I go! I’ve been fitting pet care into my routine throughout the last 7 years and I don’t plan on stopping! I’m currently not able to board, but I love sitting! I’ve been trusted for many years in my home town to care for pets. Not only immensely by owners, but respecting pet’s boundaries as some can be a little more protective of their homes! I always watch/play with pets in backyards and remain alert even if transports to dog parks are approved to get your pets out and about!
“Draven was wonderful. She walked our two dogs while we were away for five days — and always sent us daily reports and photos. Would highly recommend Draven to anyone looking for a pet sitter/walker, etc.”
About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.
About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, starting from childhood. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, trusted to give their pets the same love and attention they get at home. About 15 years ago, I brought home my first cat and have been completely smitten with felines ever since! I have experience giving basic medications to pets and am comfortable caring for animals with special needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have over 15 years of experience with bearded dragons and mild experience with many other animals—so I’m happy to watch reptiles, small pets, and more. No matter the species, I’m dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I have open availability for dog walks and any pet drop-ins, so I can work around your pet’s routine—morning, afternoon, or evening. Whether you need a last-minute walk, regular visits, or a quick drop-in while you’re away, I’m always happy to make it happen! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your routine for walks, feedings, clean-ups, and medications, making sure they get plenty of love, play, and attention. Safety is always first—secure leashes, closed gates, and supervised walks—so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“Joaquin did a rear job as a sitter. I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week because she can be anxious and scared but she looked very happy and at ease in all the videos and pictures we received. Would definitely book again 10/10”
“Zydae has a real passion for dog sitting. She was very proactive in sending us photos and videos of our dog, Cali. She made us feel as though it was her honor to be trusted with our pet. We would highly recommend and we will be using her again if our schedules align.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
“Grace was awesome! I had to travel last minute for work and just relocated to the area and wanted to make sure Bella would be taken care of. Grace had great reviews and I knew she the one. She sent my pictures through out the weekend and kept me updated. Bella was so happy and enjoyed her stay. We will book again! Thanks for being wonderful Grace.”
“Sarah was amazing! She treated our furbaby with so much care, her and her family! Our son got a long super well with her kids and just enjoyed every playtime with them. She sent a lot of picture updates which I loved and answered pretty quickly. He loved it over there so much we will definitely be going back!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“Rudy had another fantastic 6 day stay with Ro! I love her communication and feedback. Rudy has diet issues and Ro shared excellent advice and recommendations. She’s very knowledgeable and caring. Now Rudy appears bored and probably wishes he was back at her house! 🤣”
“This was our first time using Tara as a sitter and we were very happy with the experience. Tara was professional and clearly knew how to care for and interact with Brandy who is a little timid around new people. Tara worked with Brandy to get her comfortable with a new routine, and showed resourcefulness in getting Brandy to take her meds and be comfortable eating in a new environment. Tara sent us pictures and kept us informed about Brandy's progress. Brandy clearly felt comfortable and content under Tara's care. We will definitely be having Tara care for Brandy again!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“My dog Bella stayed for around 8 days and I couldn’t have trusted someone else more. Kenan was always ready to send me pictures and videos to not make me worry. It was our first time with them and we will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need. Bella got to play with other dogs and make many friends. I definitely recommend them!”
“Theresa is wonderful! She responds very quickly, communicated thoroughly during the sitting, sends plenty of pics and videos, and I genuinely can tell she cares about animals. She will be my first choice anytime I’m in need.”
“I am so glad we found Karrington and Fish! I had to leave town last minute, and she was kind enough to take Jax in. I was thankful for the updates and photos she sent me. Jax was happy and relaxed when we brought him home, and I definitely would send Jax back to them again for boarding. Thank you!”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter! From the get go she was able to get my normally nervous rescue feeling comfortable. And also made me feeling comfortable leaving for with a sitter after recently relocating to the greater Raleigh area. Lauren was extremely responsive, gave me a tour of her property (with a spacious and gated outdoor area) and shared daily photo and text updates. I’ll absolutely be recommending her to all dog owners, and feel so fortunate to have found a great boarding option for my pup!”
