“Kaitie is amazing. Simply incredible! We got daily check ins, pictures, and since we were out of town during Winter Storm Elliott, she was extra attentive to them since it was so cold. When we first met Kaitie she was warm and kind, and our social cat rubbed up against her immediately, and fell at her feet. A good sign! I would highly recommend Kaitie for your pets. She loves animals, animals love her, and we never worried about our furry family while we were away. Five big stars!”

Got back yesterday and he is happy and purring. Thank you Christina for taking such good care of my fur baby. I will definitely keep using her services.”
“Kalie did a wonderful job! She was very communicative and let me know what was going on every visit and sent pictures. She even brought my packages in! I highly recommended Kalie for your pet sitting needs.”
About: There is nothing quite like watching kittens bounce around, crab walk, and side-hop. Now that is what makes me laugh until I cry. Over the years, I have fostered countless cats and kittens, giving me experience with cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I've learned that every cat is different, and the best way to earn their trust is to let them set the pace. Whether your cat is outgoing and affectionate or shy and reserved, I will respect their boundaries and provide the care and attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to becoming their trusted caregiver and new friend. .
“This is our first experience with Rover and with Alyssa, and we are so impressed. Alyssa’s daily reports were well documented and she was understanding to our cats unique situation. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in charge. She truly cares for the safety, health and happiness of her pets while the owners are away. Thank you, Alyssa!”

“Faith followed all instructions which is so important for a neurotic kitty like mine! She communicated important updates and asked questions to get more information. She even added an extra visit when she felt like my cat needed it. I am booking her again!”
“Ava followed my complicated instructions perfectly. She was reliable and timely. She ensured the kitties were fed and had water and cleanup. The kitties did not come out for her, so maybe next time. Thanks!”
About: I've always lived with dogs and cats growing up. Dogs are my sanctuary from people. I joke that in my line of social work I go to the houses to see the people but stay to play with the dog. I also enjoy being active and playing around so dogs can get their energy out. Cats, although some people don't like them, are also fun for me. I love playing with them and letting them snuggle. I know all pets have different personalities and I intend to like them all I currently work full time as a social worker. I'm able to drop in/walk before and after work and occasionally on lunch depending on where you are located. Weekends are fully open for me most days so im able to help out as much as possible with cats or dogs My current dog gets walked several times a day in our large yard. We provide her with many toys and slow feeding bowls/ games to keep her mind active. She's fed 2 times a day and of course is spoiled with treats here and there. I successfully crate trained my pup and it's her go to spot for anxiety.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, giving me about 20 years of experience. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am confident with playful puppies, calm senior pets, and even shy or anxious animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Daily walks, playtime, and feeding can easily be adjusted around my routine, so your pets always get the attention they need. Whether mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I am available to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry family members I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.
About: I have extensive pet care experience, having owned and cared for two beloved dogs that each lived long, happy lives—one reaching 18 years and the other 20 years. Over the course of their lives, I gained hands-on experience with all aspects of dog care, including feeding routines, exercise, grooming, administering medications, and providing a nurturing, loving environment. I am very familiar with the needs of both young and senior dogs, including maintaining their health and comfort through all stages of life. Now that I am retired, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for dogs. I am available to provide attentive pet sitting, ensuring that dogs under my care receive not only their basic necessities but also companionship, playtime, and affection. My focus is on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether they need daily walks, special diets, or just someone to spend quality time with them. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I bring years of experience, patience, and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting opportunity. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as a retiree. With flexible days, I can easily schedule visits, walks, and playtime around my personal errands and hobbies. Caring for pets gives structure to my mornings and afternoons, and it adds a joyful sense of purpose to my week. When I dog sit in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping the dogs happy, safe, and comfortable by following their usual routine for meals, walks, and rest. I always get detailed instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and emergency contacts. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation, and I monitor their health by watching their appetite, bathroom habits, and energy levels. I keep a clean and safe environment by securing doors and gates, cleaning up after them, and making sure water and food bowls are fresh. I also spend quality time giving them attention and affection, respect their personality and comfort level, and send regular updates to the owner. By staying attentive, organized, and caring, I provide a stress-free, positive experience for both the dogs and their owners.
About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m McKenzie and I’m a full-time Rover sitter with over 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Because pet care is my full-time focus, your pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they stay on their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! Pet care is part of my daily routine because I’m currently working full-time through Rover, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure to structure my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and relaxation time so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I truly love spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are closely supervised and kept on their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel relaxed and secure. I love spending time outdoors with dogs for walks, exercise, and playtime, but I always make sure pets are leashed and safely supervised when outside. My yard is currently not fenced in, so I prioritize safe neighborhood walks and structured outdoor time to keep pets active and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home, while making sure their pets stick to the routines they’re used to. Communication is also very important to me, so I’m happy to follow any special instructions and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by pups and has always had dogs as part of my family.

From feeding routines to playtime and keeping pups comfortable while their owners are away, I truly understand what it takes to provide safe, loving care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable daily visits and walks.

About: Experience with all sorts of dogs and currently care for a dog with seizures and a special diet. I am up for any challenge when it comes to caring for dogs. Also I love to help train and keep dogs active. I am currently working on my own schedule, so pet care fits in almost any time. I am very flexible to care for and walk dogs. I will keeps dogs on a lease unless in a fenced in backyard. I will also not put dogs in any threatening situations like dog parks or crowded areas. My wife is the cat expert, and I am allergic, so she would likely help with any cats.
About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I was 11. I’ve spent many years managing a 5 doctor veterinary hospital. I treat your pets as I would treat my own. All the pets I’ve cared for have come to know me as their Aunt Sunny. Your pets will receive the type of care you want them to receive. I won’t just drop in and go. Time is spent walking, brushing, playing and loving your pets. I’ve trained many dogs and have spent time as a vet tech.

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”
“Kahlynne was absolutely amazing. I needed someone to watch my dog on short notice and she came through! I could tell Timber had a blast while he was with her and he was loved on so well. If you need someone to watch your dog I recommend you go with her!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly love caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats and provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Also a breeder, I have lots of experience with puppies. Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and lots of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’m here to help and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away! 🐾 Currently we are waiting for our fence to be installed, I’ll keep you updated on when it will be done. Your fur babies are my main focus, We will gladly follow special instructions/ schedules per request for each fur friend, lots of walks, play and lots of attention.
About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA, currently an active volunteer for Angels To The Animals & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! They have their own bedroom, closet, dresser, mountains of toys, and an abundance of clothes/accessories. I truly do work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00 however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.
“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”
“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”

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

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all sizes and breeds, including walking, bathing, feeding, and spending quality time with them. From a young age, I developed a strong love and respect for animals and really value the bond between pets and their people. In college and through work, friends and coworkers often trusted me to watch their dogs because I’m dependable and genuinely enjoy being around them. I live an active lifestyle, especially on weekends, and my apartment is right by the 4-mile Lyle Creek Trail, which is great for walks and exercise. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly enjoy being around them and love that pet sitting lets me experience all the best parts of having a dog—without them ever missing out on care, attention, or exercise. I work Monday–Friday with a very flexible schedule and live just 5 minutes from work, so I’m able to step away when needed for pet care. I’m available for boarding after 3 PM on Fridays, all day Saturday, and during the day on Sundays, with pickup by 7 PM Sunday evening. I’m also happy to help with dog pickup and drop-off when needed. On weekdays, I’m available before 8 AM and after 4:30 PM, and I can also accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day to ensure pets receive reliable, consistent care. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while sticking closely to their normal routines. If a dog is crate-trained or needs a crate for safety or comfort, I’m able to crate them as needed. I provide regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s energy level and needs. I’m also available for overnight stays, making sure pets are cared for throughout the night and maintain a consistent routine. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard since I live in an apartment, I make up for that with access to plenty of open space and nearby trails, which are great for exercise and walks.

I am athletic, energetic, and therefore love going out on walks, runs. I’m dependable and honest, it’s only fair to allow people you can rely on around someone as important as a pet, especially into the privacy of your own home. I assure you great service and promise to treat others’ pets as if they were my very own. This is a huge responsibility which i know requires attentiveness. No Dog is too big, too small or too strong, As your walker will do my part while they are in my care. I look forward to meeting him or her! I am currently working from home!

I have a designated park for dogs on the side of my building but I will ensure your dog is on leash always to ensure safety. Upon request, I have socialized and trained numerous dogs- I am more than happy to bring both or one of my dogs on walks or to the park. I also can have my dogs separated, Crated or off site if needed.
About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

About: Hey everyone! I’m Shakeitha 👋 I work full-time Monday–Friday, so my availability is limited and may vary — but when I’m with your pets, they have my full attention. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I have hands-on experience working at two different dog daycare/spas. That means I’m very familiar with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels — from shy pups to playful wiggle-butts. 🐾 At home, I have a friendly medium-sized dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to look after your fur family. Hey there! 👋 I do have a full-time job Monday–Friday, so my availability is limited — but I do my best to stay flexible and work around your pet’s schedule. I make sure every visit is on time and that your pets get the attention, playtime, and care they deserve while you’re away. While in my care, your fur babies will be treated just like my own — with lots of love, attention, and playtime. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions you provide. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and safe.
“I really appreciate Rilea W’s help walking our Poppy while we were away for the day! She came to walk her 3 times. Each time she sent pictures and communicated with me. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.
“Charcie has been walking Sugar for months, maybe a year, and it has been wonderful. She is so conscientious and reliable. Rain or shine Sugar gets walked. Charcie is great with last minute adjustments or if we just need unexpected help with Sugar. It is such a comfort knowing Charcie is there. Thank you Charcie.”
“Denise was wonderful! Very responsive when I needed a dog walker for my sweet fur baby last minute. She communicated with me so well and provided photos/updates. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and now have two of my own. Both of our dogs have been trained since puppies the basics as well as advanced tricks such as “tell me a secret.” I would be willing to work with your dog on any tricks. Your pup will be in great hands! My dogs are very friendly and full of energy, they love meeting other dogs! I currently work 8am-5pm. I wake up with the dogs in the morning to let them out, play and feed them. They are crate trained during the day. I come home on lunch from 12-1 and return home at 5pm. Our pets are always watched over and never left unattended without supervision for long periods of times. There is nothing that would harm the animals such as chocolate in reach of them. We do have a fenced in yard and use leashes when going on a walk. I always have a pet first aid kit handy incase of any accidents and would be reliable to give any pet medications on a set schedule.

“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave! Alison and Richard were very flexible with our schedule and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be visiting them again soon!”
“I'm certain Barkley and Coco had a great time. They were clean and tired:) Brooke sent us pictures as agreed. I will definitely be using Brooke in the future.”
“Natalie is absolutely amazing!! We originally booked for a specific day, but I had a last-minute family emergency. She accommodated our dog, Rosie, immediately and adjusted the booking with zero issues. Having that extra day to sort things out with my family without stressing was a lifesaver. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. Highly recommended, and thank you again!”
“Wonderful, I love the convenience of having her pick him up and drop him off, he was worn out when he got home which is great, he got to burn off lots of energy, and she was a sweetheart, who had a long goodbye of kisses from Gucci”
“Bethany was great! My usual sitter could not keep Ellie, so I did a meet and greet. Bethany put me at ease immediately. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me informed daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“I can't recommend Ms. Deborah enough! She took such wonderful care of my two fur babies during their stay. From the moment they arrived, they felt right at home and quickly adjusted to their new environment. They absolutely loved spending time on her farm, and I could tell they were in great hands. It's clear that Ms. Deborah has a genuine love for animals, and she went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Steph did a great job caring for my dog. She sent me pics and videos and it allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about how my pup was doing. I'll definitely use her again!”
“Scarlett was great! Our Stella couldn't have been in better hands. Just enough pictures to keep us in touch and good updates to reassure us. Will definitely use again. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all sizes and breeds, including walking, bathing, feeding, and spending quality time with them. From a young age, I developed a strong love and respect for animals and really value the bond between pets and their people. In college and through work, friends and coworkers often trusted me to watch their dogs because I’m dependable and genuinely enjoy being around them. I live an active lifestyle, especially on weekends, and my apartment is right by the 4-mile Lyle Creek Trail, which is great for walks and exercise. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly enjoy being around them and love that pet sitting lets me experience all the best parts of having a dog—without them ever missing out on care, attention, or exercise. I work Monday–Friday with a very flexible schedule and live just 5 minutes from work, so I’m able to step away when needed for pet care. I’m available for boarding after 3 PM on Fridays, all day Saturday, and during the day on Sundays, with pickup by 7 PM Sunday evening. I’m also happy to help with dog pickup and drop-off when needed. On weekdays, I’m available before 8 AM and after 4:30 PM, and I can also accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day to ensure pets receive reliable, consistent care. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while sticking closely to their normal routines. If a dog is crate-trained or needs a crate for safety or comfort, I’m able to crate them as needed. I provide regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s energy level and needs. I’m also available for overnight stays, making sure pets are cared for throughout the night and maintain a consistent routine. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard since I live in an apartment, I make up for that with access to plenty of open space and nearby trails, which are great for exercise and walks. Safety is always my priority, and I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and well taken care of whether we’re inside or out.
“Laura is awesome!! She took perfect care of my big baby while I was in Morganton! She gave me regular updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry at all. She even endured his horrific farts! ? I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again if I'm in the area!”
About: I'm a dedicated pet enthusiast with over three decades of experience looking after my own loyal companions, from pup to pooch! I've also got the stamina and soothing energy needed for walking and caring for neighborhood dogs when their owners are away. My furry friends seem to know it too, which makes me smile just thinking about those cuddles and wags they give in return! With the flexibility of running my own business, I'm able to always be available for you on weekdays between 8am and 2pm, plus extra hours as needed. I ensure home entrances are secure, keeping them from running into danger when leaving or entering. I give lots of affection as I attend to making sure they have adequate food and water. And daily walks full of fun that consider size & age.
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
