Highly-rated overnight sitters - Elrod
“We could tell Kali would be in good hands during our meet and greet. Left our girl for the weekend. Was so happy to receive regular updates with video and photos. It was awesome to see Kali settled in and enjoying her time with such a lovely family. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Ana was amazing with our dog. She had great communication and sent us pics of our big baby while we were away. He was well taken care of and it was our first experience with rover! Definitely will use Ana again!”
“Kelli was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch Caezar. She sent pictures and updates through the day. He seemed to have a great time and was tired out by end of day, he slept so well! I would recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I've taken care of pets for a large majority of my life. I have two fur babies that are loved and adored. I have space in my home and heart to care for more pets. Pet care rotates consistently in my daily routine. I have 2 fur babies that are loved and adored and plenty of room to care for more. Your pet will receive daily exercise and plenty of opportunity to play and have fun. The pets will be cared for inside my home, and will be taken outside every hour on the hour or every two hours if needed. They will receive the attention they need and plenty of time to play as they await the owners return. I look forward to providing your fur baby with the service they need.
“Mikayla did an amazing job again. I feel really lucky to be able to leave Rudy and Ginger with her. They were really happy to see her when I brought them this time which was their second stay with Mikayla. She sends great updates which helps me to relax and when I am away from them because I know they are doing well. She was flexible with the pick up time when I got delayed some coming back from my trip.”
“Brianna is simply awesome . She is very prompt in response , very respectful, professional and amicable person. We would highly recommend her. Our dog was looking very happy. We know he was loved and well taken care of. She updated with pictures We really appreciate that. Thank you Brianna !!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Taylor! She was extremely communicative from start to finish, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was easy to work with, reliable, and clearly cared about our pet’s well-being. She kept us updated regularly and followed all instructions perfectly.”
“Natalie has watched my very hyper German Shepard three times and I honestly wouldn’t choose anyone else! She is constantly sending us pictures and keeping us updated on how our fur baby is doing. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!”
“We love boarding our two pups with Kasey and Adam and their other dogs! We have two very high energy, constantly playful puppies and they get to play their absolute hearts out while staying with Kasey and Adam! Every time we pick them up they are extremely well cared for and extremely happy. When we drop them off they run straight into the boarding area or greet Adam excitedly, so we know they think of this place as their second home. Kasey and Adam know dogs and dog behavior super well and it shows, plus they always send lots of pictures and videos when we’re away. Can’t imagine what we would do if we didn’t have this family to board our pups with!!”
“Niki is very caring and great to work with. Our transactions were smooth from the meet up, to drop off and all the way through pick up. She really cares for dogs. Niki sent pictures to us while we were away, telling us how our dog was adjusting. If she’d accept Copper again, we’d be happy to use her as a dog sitter again.”
“Ashley is always so accommodating with our Honey. We couldn’t ask for a better, more reliable family to leave our fur baby with! We love the updates, pictures, and videos we get every day from Ashley. Honey recently had surgery and has still done great even after long days of playing under Ashley’s care. Every time we drop honey off, she can’t get to the door to see Bentley quick enough! And when it’s time to pick Honey up, as exhausted as she is, she never wants to leave! We can’t express enough how much we appreciate Ashley, Bentley, and their fam!”
“Maya had an amazing time while staying here! Waddell constantly sent pictures and messages throughout the entire time of her stay! He was very friendly and approachable when it came to communication. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been caring for animals ever since I can remember. I am comfortable caring for dogs in any age and if they take medication or have any special needs. I love working with puppies and helping train them to what the owner is wanting them to accomplish. I am also comfortable with cats and any stage they are at as well and if medication is needed. I currently own 2 senior dogs and 2 cats! I am a stay at home mom, which provides me with the flexibility on being able to offer a range of times and days that are needed. I have a fully fenced in backyard for pets to run around and sunbathe in. Animals will have access to roam around entire house and are also allowed on furniture.
“Brenda treated my two dogs like they were her own. They slept and played and appeared to have a blast. She has a great fenced in yard and her dog zelda is wonderful with mine and so sweet. Well worth hiring.”
“Terri was wonderful. We met first at her home so Rowdy could meet her dog Luke and they hit it off right away. Terri is friendly and welcoming and I knew Rowdy would be well taken care of in her care. She sent us pictures and always replied to text or calls right away. She has a dog park in her neighborhood and what a wonderful plus that is! I would not hesitate to leave my pet with her again. This is so much better then boarding at a kennel where my dog sits alone in a kennel most of the day. 5 stars Terri!”
About: I have a chihuahua, frenchie and my pit mix they get a long with all furry friends and humans. I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience.

I have a crate available and if needed. Your pup is safe in my home, I will cuddle them while I work. I have a safe space where all pups are welcome.
“What phenomenal people. I used to bring Mickey to a Dog Hotel & when I came back to get him, he’d be so wound up and anxious. Today I picked up a dog that is cool as a cucumber. I know he was well taken care of! I will definitely be using these guys again! ❤️❤️”

About: I absolutely LOVE cats, but I love dogs as well! I grew up with a cat that I was extremely close to, and now and I have a little one of my own. Though I have never owned a dog myself, I am comfortable around them, have petsit dogs and am more than happy to take care of one! My family used to travel for extended periods of time growing up and I would be so anxious about our pets being at home alone, even though they were being taken care of. I understand that anxious feeling and can definitely offer you peace of mind when you're away. I will be super interactive with your pet and play with them as much as they'd like! It's important to give them lots of attention and love when you are away. Though I am busy with school, I can do many things on my own time, making my schedule very flexible. This is how I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will always keep my home and your home safe for pets!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elrod
“Nikki has been fantastic watching Frankie! She has plenty of other dogs for her to play with and she knows dogs really well so I trust her completely! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have daycare or additional training for their dogs.”
“I needed someone in a pinch to watch my dog as I was out of town. I am so happy that I contacted Natalie. I will over and over again recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She was absolutely wonderful. She even came 1 day before to meet my dog Leo as I wanted to meet her before booking a dog sitter. She made me feel at ease and I just knew that my dog would be ok with her. The most sweetest person I have ever met.”

About: I recently moved here but grew up on a large agriculture/cattle farm in Wa state. I’ve shown all animals growing up, and competed in rodeo throughout most my high school years. I have had many dogs and many cats throughout my life as well as rescued more animals than I can count. I have a masters in mental health counseling but worked alongside a veterinarian throughout college. I currently have 6 dogs and 4 cats of my own, which most of them were strays I found. I truly believe animals are our children and they deserve to be loved and cared for as such. I am detail oriented and can ensure your baby(s) will be well taken care of. I currently am not working, so I am home full time. I recently got engaged, and my fiancé is military so I have lots of free time to help with whatever it is you may need! I have personally never crated my animals, but if it is what you prefer I will do that. We do have a very large yard with no neighbors, but I don’t even let my own dogs run around unsupervised. I did build a small fenced area in the back that attaches to a dogggy door in the house just so they can go out in emergency situations. My animals are allowed on furniture and of course sleep in the bed to get all the cuddles. I’ve been lucky to never have issues with chewing or accidents but I know all animals are different. I can truly accommodate to anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of.

“Ashley was great! She was able to watch my baby last minute while my husband and I took a day trip into DC while we were TAD to the base for a week. My dog was soooooo happy and didn't seem to want to go home with me lol. Her dog was super sweet too and got along great with mine. I'd definitely use her again if we came back to the area!”

About: Best Care for Your Pets! Hi! My name is Katlin. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with different needs and personalities, always providing patient, loving, and dependable care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do work part-time, so I’m unavailable on Mondays, Wednesdays, and during the day on Fridays. That said, I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and consistent during my available times. Pets in my home are treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have a fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time and plenty of space for play and exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also have crates available if needed for rest, training, or to match your pet’s normal routine.
About: I have been trusted a magnitude of time to support families on trips watching their pets daily. I sent pictures and updates when I am there watching pets. Being in the military, I have days where I can come home early and I am there to support my pets needs and I most of the time give my dog a full of attention I make sure that their pets feel loved that they go on multiple walks a day to get out of the house and stretch out. I also make sure that they are well fed and hydrated.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, reliability, and genuine care I bring to every dog I work with. I always treat each pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, quick to pick up on each dog’s personality, and always communicate clearly with updates, photos, and check-ins. I also have hands-on experience working with puppies—helping with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and keeping their schedules consistent. For senior dogs, I’m very gentle and understanding of their needs, from slower walks to medication reminders and extra comfort. No matter the age, size, or energy level, I tailor my care to fit exactly what your dog needs. Overall, I bring professionalism, compassion, and a calm, dependable presence that helps your pet feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Friday from 8–5, but I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, and playtime, and I’m always available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my days around making sure pets get the attention, structure, and consistency they need, so even with a full schedule, I’m always able to provide reliable and loving care. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine exactly the way the owner prefers. I keep things familiar for the pet—feeding at their normal times, sticking to their usual walk schedule, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always give plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If a pet requires special care—like medication, crate routines, puppy training, or senior support—I make sure those needs are handled consistently and gently. My goal is to keep pets relaxed, happy, and safe by making their day-to-day life feel as normal as possible, whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying longer.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.
“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”
About: Since childhood I've had animals. I profoundly love dogs and cats. I have volunteered at rescues and shelters in the past. I currently work for a local veterinary clinic. I'm committed to providing safe, excellent care for your furbabies! I currently have a full time job at a local veterinary clinic, however, I have flexibility in my schedule and don't work weekends. I'm available typically on same day basis. I have a modest home with a outdoor kennel, and indoor crates for safe, clean boarding for animals large or small! Plenty of love and attention given so they will not feel alone.
About: Whatever you and your animal may need- I am here to help! I own a rescue farm - where each animal gets another chance at life. I am currently a Licensed Vet Tech student and excited to expand my love for animals beyond my own! I currently work at a local small animal emergency clinic part time- helping doctors provide top notch care to all animals. My goal is to ALWAYS provide the best care for your animals when you have a busy schedule! Fun fact: all animals on my farm are rescues! If you and your pet need walking, pet sitting, drop in visits or anything in between I am here for you and your pet to ensure they are always taken care of!
“Tiffany is amazing! She answered our request promptly and communicated before, during, and after walking my Ellie May. She was flexible and so sweet!! We will definitely be using her again ? thanks Tiffany!”
About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had the privilege of having many different breeds and mixed breeds as part of my family, so I have a lot of varied experience. You can count on me for happy paws and lots of tail wags! I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.
About: I recently moved here but grew up on a large agriculture/cattle farm in Wa state. I’ve shown all animals growing up, and competed in rodeo throughout most my high school years. I have had many dogs and many cats throughout my life as well as rescued more animals than I can count. I have a masters in mental health counseling but worked alongside a veterinarian throughout college. I currently have 6 dogs and 4 cats of my own, which most of them were strays I found. I truly believe animals are our children and they deserve to be loved and cared for as such. I am detail oriented and can ensure your baby(s) will be well taken care of. I currently am not working, so I am home full time. I recently got engaged, and my fiancé is military so I have lots of free time to help with whatever it is you may need! I have personally never crated my animals, but if it is what you prefer I will do that. We do have a very large yard with no neighbors, but I don’t even let my own dogs run around unsupervised. I did build a small fenced area in the back that attaches to a dogggy door in the house just so they can go out in emergency situations. My animals are allowed on furniture and of course sleep in the bed to get all the cuddles. I’ve been lucky to never have issues with chewing or accidents but I know all animals are different. I can truly accommodate to anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of.
About: Growing up I lived on a livestock farm so my life for animals came natural and at a very early age. I previously worked as a Vet Tech and still currently volunteer for a local rescue, which is how I got 2 of my babies! I would love to keep your loved companions safe and comfortable while you relax on vacation or take care of business for work. I have a completely open schedule at the moment. I can do potty breaks /walks or over night stays for as long as is needed. I have a fenced in yard in a quite neighborhood. Plenty of toys and blankets for everyone and only the best quality dog food and treats. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own but could keep separate if you prefered. I have no limits for space in my house so furniture and such is fair game. I just want them to be comfortable and feel safe.
About: I absolutely LOVE cats, but I love dogs as well! I grew up with a cat that I was extremely close to, and now and I have a little one of my own. Though I have never owned a dog myself, I am comfortable around them, have petsit dogs and am more than happy to take care of one! My family used to travel for extended periods of time growing up and I would be so anxious about our pets being at home alone, even though they were being taken care of. I understand that anxious feeling and can definitely offer you peace of mind when you're away. I will be super interactive with your pet and play with them as much as they'd like! It's important to give them lots of attention and love when you are away. Though I am busy with school, I can do many things on my own time, making my schedule very flexible. This is how I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will always keep my home and your home safe for pets! I am careful about what I leave in the open that pets have access to and I always refresh food and water, making sure to keep them in an appropriate location. I will always double-check fencing in the yard to make sure all pets are secure with no possibility of escaping.
“Kim is the best! I’ve used her twice and both times, she has went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable and help out any way she can. She even cleaned up a mess in the house. I would highly recommend Kim to anybody seeking a dog walker or check ins. She is great with animals.”

About: Hey! I'm Grace and I was introduced to dogs at a very early age in life, I grew up with Rottweilers and I lived on a farm my entire life. I now reside in Laurinburg, NC. I have my own dog who is my pride and joy. His name is Graham! I gad him transported from IL to NC and ever since then he's been way more than just a companion. We do dog sports together and he has made my love for dogs beyond explainable. I've been professionally working with animals for over 3 years now ( but, I am more comfortable and experienced with dogs & cats. ) I'm experienced in handling older and younger dogs as well as administrating oral medicine to dogs if needed. I'm someone who is constantly always helping dogs as I am going to school and CATCH academy to get my CDT and hopefully study vet med! I dedicate all my time to helping animals, so my days and weekends are consistently of me taking care of your pets! If you have a special or specific routine, then I'm here to listen and accommodate that! In your home, I am here to listen and take care of your pet the way you think is best for your animal(s) as YOU know them best! I am always coming with toys and treats for your pets and I will confirm beforehand if a toy/treat is acceptable to give to the pet, I also have transportation in case of emergencies. I hope before I come care for your dog we can make a plan that's suited best for the both of you! Whether that be potty breaks every 1-2 hours or special meals during the day, just let me know!

“We could tell Kali would be in good hands during our meet and greet. Left our girl for the weekend. Was so happy to receive regular updates with video and photos. It was awesome to see Kali settled in and enjoying her time with such a lovely family. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Ana was amazing with our dog. She had great communication and sent us pics of our big baby while we were away. He was well taken care of and it was our first experience with rover! Definitely will use Ana again!”
“Kelli was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch Caezar. She sent pictures and updates through the day. He seemed to have a great time and was tired out by end of day, he slept so well! I would recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I've taken care of pets for a large majority of my life. I have two fur babies that are loved and adored. I have space in my home and heart to care for more pets. Pet care rotates consistently in my daily routine. I have 2 fur babies that are loved and adored and plenty of room to care for more. Your pet will receive daily exercise and plenty of opportunity to play and have fun. The pets will be cared for inside my home, and will be taken outside every hour on the hour or every two hours if needed. They will receive the attention they need and plenty of time to play as they await the owners return. I look forward to providing your fur baby with the service they need.
“Mikayla did an amazing job again. I feel really lucky to be able to leave Rudy and Ginger with her. They were really happy to see her when I brought them this time which was their second stay with Mikayla. She sends great updates which helps me to relax and when I am away from them because I know they are doing well. She was flexible with the pick up time when I got delayed some coming back from my trip.”
“Brianna is simply awesome . She is very prompt in response , very respectful, professional and amicable person. We would highly recommend her. Our dog was looking very happy. We know he was loved and well taken care of. She updated with pictures We really appreciate that. Thank you Brianna !!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Taylor! She was extremely communicative from start to finish, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was easy to work with, reliable, and clearly cared about our pet’s well-being. She kept us updated regularly and followed all instructions perfectly.”
“Natalie has watched my very hyper German Shepard three times and I honestly wouldn’t choose anyone else! She is constantly sending us pictures and keeping us updated on how our fur baby is doing. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!”
“We love boarding our two pups with Kasey and Adam and their other dogs! We have two very high energy, constantly playful puppies and they get to play their absolute hearts out while staying with Kasey and Adam! Every time we pick them up they are extremely well cared for and extremely happy. When we drop them off they run straight into the boarding area or greet Adam excitedly, so we know they think of this place as their second home. Kasey and Adam know dogs and dog behavior super well and it shows, plus they always send lots of pictures and videos when we’re away. Can’t imagine what we would do if we didn’t have this family to board our pups with!!”
“Niki is very caring and great to work with. Our transactions were smooth from the meet up, to drop off and all the way through pick up. She really cares for dogs. Niki sent pictures to us while we were away, telling us how our dog was adjusting. If she’d accept Copper again, we’d be happy to use her as a dog sitter again.”
“Ashley is always so accommodating with our Honey. We couldn’t ask for a better, more reliable family to leave our fur baby with! We love the updates, pictures, and videos we get every day from Ashley. Honey recently had surgery and has still done great even after long days of playing under Ashley’s care. Every time we drop honey off, she can’t get to the door to see Bentley quick enough! And when it’s time to pick Honey up, as exhausted as she is, she never wants to leave! We can’t express enough how much we appreciate Ashley, Bentley, and their fam!”
“Maya had an amazing time while staying here! Waddell constantly sent pictures and messages throughout the entire time of her stay! He was very friendly and approachable when it came to communication. Thank you so much!”

I currently own 2 senior dogs and 2 cats! I am a stay at home mom, which provides me with the flexibility on being able to offer a range of times and days that are needed. I have a fully fenced in backyard for pets to run around and sunbathe in. Animals will have access to roam around entire house and are also allowed on furniture.
