Personalized care for your dog or cat - Five Forks
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Five Forks
“My dog had so much fun and David got him to come out of his shell and actually interact with other dogs! I’d give more stars if I could. David was also very responsive and sent me lots of pictures and frequent updates.”
“Tori and Zak are exactly what we were looking for. With a large fenced in yard, plenty or 4 legged friends and the care and attention he got Rhett was a happy pup. He will be back soon!”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Teresa. We did an initial meet and greet and knew her and her family would take good care of Onyx. Teresa kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout the stay. She took the time to ask questions to learn what Onyx liked and didn't like, and what his normal routine was. We would recommend Teresa and use her services again in the furture. We're so glad Onyx was able to stay with her loving family who showed him the same attention he receives at home.”
“This is the third time Marilyn has taken Gronk. She always does such a good job with our boy. He has a good time every time. He gets plenty of attention and has lots of play time with other dogs. Marilyn is a very trusting dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was an awesome sitter for Camper. She sent me lots of pictures every time he went out (which was several times a day) and made sure that he got lots of play time with other dogs. She was also great giving him medicine. There was great communication before, during, and after his stay. I’d use her again every chance I get.”
“Amanda is great ! We could not take our little Daisy with us when we went out of state and Amanda definitely made our trip so much easier. after 3 day visits with Amanda we knew Daisy was in great hands and would be well taken care of. I highly recommend her and she will definitely be our first choice if we ever need of someone to look after our Daisy in the future.”
“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!”
“Shawn and Charles are amazing! They cared for our boy Dash like he was their own. Shawn frequently updated me with pictures and videos and let me know that my dog wasn’t eating much and went the extra mile to make him rice and peas to help. They are great communicators and I would recommend them to anybody. They have a large fenced in backyard which was a huge plus!”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were so amazing. This was the first ever time our pups stayed with someone other than family. They provided updates regularly and really worked to make sure our dogs were comfortable, despite one of them having major anxiety. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“10/10 recommend Emily. She is super responsive, kind, and my dog seemed to genuinely be having a great time in all of the photo updates and videos I received each day I was away.”
“Mary is fantastic! She took both my dogs for a week and they were cared for in a safe place with exercise, tons of snuggles, a beautiful fenced yard, and the company of her two friendly dogs. The easy communication with Mary and her easy going attitude makes you feel like you are leaving your dogs with a trusted friend you’ve known for years . This has been the most positive pet sitting experience I’ve ever had using Rover. Thank you Mary for looking after the doodles like your own.”
“This was by far our best boarding experience ever. To start with the set up is perfect and the place is absolutely beautiful with lots of room. So much so that I even asked if they would board humans. Incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly thorough when it came to pre-planning to drop off and communication during boarding and pick up. I especially liked that. They had us bring as much of our dogs stuff from home such as bed and bowls, and that type of thing that way it would not break the routine and we definitely have seen the results since we picked up our pet. Many times when we pick our pet up It takes them a couple days to get back on track but it’s almost like we never even left her. Can’t say enough about the quality of care and people and the place our dog was kept. Will definitely be taking our dog back when we need . I can’t stress enough how enjoyable our vacation was knowing that we didn’t have to worry about anything regarding our pets care.”
“Ohmygoodness, Gianina is 100% FANTASTIC! She is SO kind and has such a beautiful spirit. I knew she had a huge heart for animals when she smiled at Riley as soon as she laid eyes on him. She didn’t know that I noticed it. She is SO wonderful... I don’t have enough words. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to watch their fur kiddo. She is a sweet soul and very, very caring and interested in taking care of pets. Riley whined all the way back home… I suspect it’s because he didn’t want to leave her. lol Thank you, Gianina!!! You’re an angel!”
“My dog Luna seemed to thoroughly enjoy her stay with Violette and her family! Violette sent me lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She was super kind throughout all of our communications, and very understanding when I had traveling delays. Luna was kept clean, fed, and well cared for. I would absolutely book Violette again, and would recommend anyone else to. She genuinely seems like a warm-hearted, good-spirited person!”
“So grateful for Giancarlo's excellent care! Our pup does not do well with boarding facilities, but Giancarlo kept him happy and health for over a week. We appreciate Giancarlo's flexibility and frequent updates. We look forward to booking with him again!”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”

Cat caregivers near you - Five Forks
About: I've been caring for pets since I was young (including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs) and I currently have 3 cats. 2 of my cats are declawed and get along with the dogs, 1 cat has claws. I'm use to caring for the unique needs of senior pets, including extra bathroom breaks and administering meds. I have three kids, 2 in college and a 17yo, that love pets as well and assist when they can. I live on 12 acres well away from the road but the yard is not fenced. I opened a business in town 9/2021 so I'm no longer home during the day but my husband works from home and when the kids are home from college they assist. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet(s)! My husband works from home so he can care for them and keep them company during the day. I own a business in town and am usually home by 4pm. I have three kids that love dogs and assist when schedules permit. My cats also get along well with dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture but we do play with them if they are the playing kind or let them sleep if that is their preference.
About: I have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets countless times while they were away. I have also owned two dogs since I was twelve so I'm really great with pets! I am currently a stay at home wife so I have lots of flexibility! I will make sure your animals get the best care ever! Although, I am not able to care for pets in my own home I can take care of them in yours. I enjoy going to local parks and being outside so I would love to be outside with your pet.
“Excellent service Fantastic with the cats lots of attention! They usually hide from strangers but they come out when Meredith check in . They truly like her. Thank you sooo much Meredith for taking good care of my cats. I feel relaxed and confident they are in good hands!”
“Fred had a long-term stay with David and his family while we were in the middle of a cross-country move. He had a meow-velous time and was returned to us happy and with new toys. Dave's kids treated him like one of their own and Fred loved his time with them. We were so relieved to have a comfortable, caring home-away-from-home so gave us piece of mind so that we could concentrate on selling our house, packing it up, waiting for the new house, move in and unpack -- a two-month process that avoided a lot of trauma for our cat and worrying for us. So happy that Dave was such a good fit!”
About: I have had a full house of pets since I was a small child, and am excited to be able to care for more since leaving my animals at home with my family for college. I am a college student who is also on a competitive ice skating team, but have plenty of free time for your dogs/cats! I have large spaces during the day and early evening :) While I don't have a home to house your pets in, I will follow all of your specific instructions in caring for your animals in your home
“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
About: I’ve had cats growing up. My current cat was a bottle baby and she is a thriving queen! I am use to indoor, outdoor, and indoor/outdoor cats. I also worked at a pet store that had cats up for adoption and I cared for them as well. I also have experienced cats giving birth so if you have a pregnant cat I am not new to caring for them.
“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
“Makayley did a great job. We could not have asked for better service. I think our puppy would go home with Makayley if she would let him. She sent us pictures every day with briefings on how our puppy was doing. He missed us for the first couple of days, but then he seemed to accept Makayley as his temporary master. I think we missed him more than he missed us!. Great job!”
“My cat, Charlie, is very shy and cautious. Nick has been super patient with getting him on his good side! Charlie has warmed up to him so much, especially with this last visit. I always get so many pictures and videos which is something any pet parent would appreciate!”
“Viridianne continues to be truly amazing! She is incredibly attentive to detail and takes such great care of my cat every time I’m away. I always feel at ease knowing she’s looking after him, and I can tell how much she genuinely cares. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. I’m so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you Viridianne!”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Five Forks
“Was lucky enough to find a family who treated Lily as well as they did. Teresa was always available and when my schedule changed she was accommodating with last minute changes. Lots of outdoor play and she would send me updates throughout her stay. If I am ever in the area again I will 100% look her up to watch Lily.”
“Tori and Zachary watched our dog for the day at their home. He fit in great with their own dogs. He loved running around a fenced in backyard, and came home nice and tired. We will gladly use them again.”
“David was an absolutely superb sitter for our 6 month old German Shepherd puppy. Not only did he provide excellent care and stellar communication (we received multiple pictures of our puppy every day), but he went above and beyond to socialize her with other dogs and help her get over her separation and canine anxiety. She came back a different puppy -- playful, relaxed, and noticeably less anxious around other dogs. David was a godsend and we can't recommend him highly enough!”
About: Experienced in all-size dogs and whelping care, I provide attentive tailored pet care with a genuine love for animals, ensuring safe and happy experience. From tiny puppies to large breeds, I adapt to each dog’s unique needs. Reliable and compassionate, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved , and secure. I stay at home with my parents, which means I have the entire summer free and plenty of time to do fun things with the pups. I make pets feel comfortable by keeping their routines the same—feeding, playing, and walking on schedule. I use a calm voice, gentle care, and give them attention and affection so they feel safe and happy in their own home and on walks.
About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog caregiver who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very observant and hands-on, so pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will receive lots of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I work from home and have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog(s). I wake up early so we can get outside before it gets too hot. Happy for short or long stays! I have an acre fenced yard that is reinforced every few inches that is full of fun and smells and space to run. They will always be supervised, and indoors there is lots of cozy spots to lay and/or cuddle.
“Potato can require some help managing his energy and engaging appropriately in new situations. David talked us through his ideas of plans A and B and kept us updated. Thanks to his careful attention, Potato ended up having a fantastic day. He came home happy, relaxed, and absolutely exhausted! A raging success.”
“It was my pup’s first time with a sitter. He’s usually nervous around new people. But not here, he was peppy and playful coming home. The next time going he ran right in like a reunion with old pals. Very impressed.”
“Kenan was willing to take my dog with short notice and was very responsive to messages. He provided pictures and a video. He has a great set up that allows the dogs some shade outside, even on hot days. When I picked up my dog she was smiling and even went to say goodbye to Kenan. It's obvious that the dogs like him and are being well taken care of.”
About: I have owned Rottweilers and Bulldogs that have become angels that have enriched/changed my life. The unconditional love they provide allows us all to feel LOVED and allows our hearts to sing. They fill the LOVE tanks without any hidden agendas! We have recently relocated to Durham from Washington and currently have the time to explore the freedom, flexibility and FUN with pet sitting with Rover. We have a big beautiful, fenced back yard to allow the space needed for dogs to roam and a lovely home without carpet. Cozy, warm and safe for your loving pup/dog.
“Scott is a great sitter for us, and Blue really enjoys visiting him. I requested a doggy daycare day, and he responded quickly to let me know he would be available. I love working with Scott on Rover; it is convenient and easy.”
About: I have cared for dogs of all different ages and breeds from senior Italian Greyhounds to Leonberger puppies. Safety and comfort are my top priorities for pups and I believe every dog needs his or her special time to just be a dog during the day. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pup! I am experienced with administering medicine to older dogs/dogs with anxiety. I also have the energy and patience for younger dogs, and am able to walk multiple dogs at a time, if it is needed. I’m available for walks and overnight stays. I have reliable transportation for doggy day adventures! I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to ask my any questions you may have. I currently have open availability and am looking forward to meeting new doggo friends for day care, overnight care, walks, and drop-ins. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When I'm dog-sitting or walking, I am happily and fully committed to your pup. No dog is the same, just as no person is the same. Each family has its own culture and needs. I want your animal friend to be as comfortable as possible, so I will follow any routines or dreams you have for them.
About: For nearly 20 years, caring for animals has been one of my greatest joys. I have 19 years of pet care experience, including 15 years as a devoted cat owner, and currently care for a flock of chickens and an angora rabbit on our peaceful two-acre woodland property. I offer boarding and doggy daycare in a calm, home-based environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time, new scents to explore, and lots of individual attention. Our chickens are securely fenced in their own area, and our rabbit is safely housed in the garage, allowing visiting pets to relax comfortably in their own space. I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog loves adventure and play or prefers a quiet place to nap, I’ll work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. For cat owners, I also offer home visits so your feline friends can stay happy and stress-free in the comfort of their own home. When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—not just a booking. You’ll receive attentive care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. Pet care is naturally woven into our daily life. As a homeschooling family, I have the flexibility to provide attentive care, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. We live on a peaceful two-acre woodland property and maintain a home where animals are loved, respected, and considered part of the family. Caring for animals is already part of our routine, from tending our flock of chickens to caring for our angora rabbit. My wife and I are proud to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment for all families, including LGBTQ+ families, and we strive to create a safe, respectful space for everyone. Our 8½-year-old daughter is a budding farmer and fellow animal lover who has grown up helping care for animals with kindness and respect. Together, we’ve created a home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and engagement. Because I work from home and homeschool, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s needs and schedule, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. We have a spacious, open home with no indoor pets, allowing visiting dogs to settle in comfortably and enjoy plenty of personal attention. Our property spans two peaceful wooded acres, providing a calm environment away from busy roads and heavy traffic. Our resident animals—a flock of chickens and an angora rabbit—are securely housed in separate fenced or enclosed areas and do not interact with visiting pets. We also maintain a fenced garden area, helping ensure clear boundaries throughout the property. While our yard is not fully fenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs will be leashed during walks and outdoor adventures, and I closely monitor all activity to ensure their safety. Guests can enjoy plenty of fresh air, woodland strolls, sniffing opportunities, exercise, and enrichment while remaining under attentive supervision. For in-home cat visits, I follow each family’s instructions carefully, maintain your cat’s routine, and ensure your home is left secure after every visit. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I believe safety starts with attentive supervision, clear communication, and treating every animal as if they were my own.
“Alaina and Nick were wonderful! My pup stayed one day during the day while I visited a friend nearby. He had a great time and was very well cared for. Communication was great before, during, and after his stay. 10/10 would trust Alaina and Nick to watch him again.”
About: Hi! My name is Rhi, and I have several years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve always had a strong love for pets, and I’m very comfortable working with dogs, cats, and other small animals. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, or just giving them extra love and attention As a stay-at-home pet caregiver, I have a flexible, open schedule dedicated fully to the animals in my care. I'm available mornings, afternoons, and evenings so your pet gets consistent attention, not just a quick check-in. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some company on the couch, I treat every pet like they're my own. I grew up around all kinds of animals, so I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I take detailed notes on your pet's daily schedule and follow it closely; Consistency helps them feel safe and at home, even when you're away. I'm patient, attentive, and handle every animal with care. Your pet won't just be watched; they'll be genuinely looked after.
About: Have had at least 1 pet for over 25 years. Wife and I are recent empty nesters that went from having 4 cats and 2 dogs to a Lab and 1 cat when the last of our 4 kids moved out.

We have a dog park for them to play at our place. Our Labrador Bailey will be put in crate until they get acquainted if needed. Bailey is friendly as can be, however I know animals can get nervous in new environments.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Five Forks
“This is our first time using Ashley to let our dog out in the middle of the day. She is fantastic! Our dog is weary of strangers and Ashley handled the situation really well- she went at his pace and spent some extra time with him. She sent a lot of photos and a detailed description of her time with Rowan. I would definitely use her again!”
“Misty was great! This was the second visit door my animals and she sent pictures and updates. She makes me confident in who I’m trusting, I will definitely be keeping her around when needed!”
About: I have had a full house of pets since I was a small child, and am excited to be able to care for more since leaving my animals at home with my family for college. I am a college student who is also on a competitive ice skating team, but have plenty of free time for your dogs/cats!

“So professional and helpful!! Highly recommend! David really went above and beyond, taking JuneBug on a nice long walk down along the river, and including lots of photos of her smiling face.”
About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.
“Ken took care of our dog for 2.5 days and appreciate his personalized and professional service. His also communicates very well about our dog which gave us peace of mind during our vacation.”
About: I have been a fur mom since I was about 12 years old and have experience with all kinds of pets, including reptiles, chickens, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, & chinchillas. I also use to work at a pet store doing pet care which involved lots of handling, cleaning and keeping a healthy environment for the animals. I am currently self employed and I make my own schedule so I am flexible with my availability. Mondays and Thursday are more flexible but I have time on the other days of the week as well. I’m clients homes I would give your pets the attention and lovin’ that they need and make sure that they are always safe. I will keep clean after them and make sure that they are cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.
About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.

About: I am a "gentle giant" with a lifelong passion for animals and over 19 years of experience providing dedicated pet care. By trade, I work in the electric industry, which means dependability, safety, and attention to detail are built into everything I do. When you leave your home and your furry family members in my hands, you can rest easy knowing they are being watched by someone who is as responsible as they are soft-hearted With my background in electrical work, I am naturally observant and highly dependable. I treat your home with the same respect and care that I treat your pets. Animals truly take to me. I provide a calm, steady presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and relaxed. I am also an avid photographer! You won't just get a "check-in" text; you’ll receive high-quality, beautiful photos of your pets throughout the day so you can see exactly how happy and settled they are. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a steady hand for medication, or just a big guy to curl up next to for a nap, I am here to provide the five-star care they deserve Please don't hesitate to reach out. I have a special place in my heart for senior animals. I understand that older pets require a patient, calm energy and a gentle touch. I am fully experienced in administering medications—whether it’s pills, liquids, or specialized care—and I am highly attuned to the subtle changes in a senior pet's comfort and behavior.
About: My love of pet care began at age 14 when I got my 1st job working with a vet. I bicycled each morning at 6 am before school to clean cages. My love and determination has not waned over the years and I have continued, off and on, to work with vets and offer in home pet care to a diverse group of clients from birds to wolfhounds for the last 30+ years.. I am looking forward to meeting your fur family and discussing how I might provide the best care for your loved ones in your absence. As a fellow user of this service, I understand the desire for an experienced, trust worthy, capable, level headed care giver with a degree of common sense. My aim is to provide the same level of care that I would expect my family to receive as well. Your sense of confidence in my abilities to care for your family is my #1 priority. I bi-locate between Greensboro and Danville and am available in both locations and between. I look forward to speaking with you! At the moment, in home pet care is my first priority and upon approval, I can be available 7 days per week as well as on an extended basis, upon review and acceptance by both parties for in your home pet care and walking duties as well as drop-in visits. I have found most pets prefer to be in their own homes and around familiar sights and sounds to ease their transition from their primary caregiver to me. For this reason, I highly recommend in home pet care. I am willing to discuss pet care in my home on a case by case basis.
About: I’ve had animals of many kinds from tiny to huge growing up. I’d normally house sit for family and friends until I decided to join the Rover crew. I enjoy house sitting as I’ve realized pet are usually more comfortable in their own homes. I have the ability to bathe, walk, feed, and of course play with your pets! I am a part time college student doing majority of my classes online. For the time being my schedule is an empty open book waiting to be filled! I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me! If they enjoy the car, cuddling up for a movie, stores, parks, or even just being in the backyard you name it and I’d love to make it happen! They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.
“I needed someone last minute to walk my German Shepard and Lindsay was the first to respond. She sent me pics of the walk and also let me know what business he did so I was prepared when I got home from work. I've had other instances where I've had to book last minute, but Lindsay is my girl for pur household whenever we need services, hands down! Thanks, Lindsay, for all that you did for our baby! ❤️”
About: I have been blessed to share my life with 4 Golden’s.... I love dogs and will give yours with the same love and respect as I have given mine I am self employed and flexible with a schedule... We take walks or just play outside ... sunshine and exercise and good for all pets. At this time I am not able to bring your pet into my home... however I am glad to assist you with your pets in your home
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.

“My dog had so much fun and David got him to come out of his shell and actually interact with other dogs! I’d give more stars if I could. David was also very responsive and sent me lots of pictures and frequent updates.”
“Tori and Zak are exactly what we were looking for. With a large fenced in yard, plenty or 4 legged friends and the care and attention he got Rhett was a happy pup. He will be back soon!”
“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“This is the third time Marilyn has taken Gronk. She always does such a good job with our boy. He has a good time every time. He gets plenty of attention and has lots of play time with other dogs. Marilyn is a very trusting dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was an awesome sitter for Camper. She sent me lots of pictures every time he went out (which was several times a day) and made sure that he got lots of play time with other dogs. She was also great giving him medicine. There was great communication before, during, and after his stay. I’d use her again every chance I get.”
“Amanda is great ! We could not take our little Daisy with us when we went out of state and Amanda definitely made our trip so much easier. after 3 day visits with Amanda we knew Daisy was in great hands and would be well taken care of. I highly recommend her and she will definitely be our first choice if we ever need of someone to look after our Daisy in the future.”
“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!”
“Shawn and Charles are amazing! They cared for our boy Dash like he was their own. Shawn frequently updated me with pictures and videos and let me know that my dog wasn’t eating much and went the extra mile to make him rice and peas to help. They are great communicators and I would recommend them to anybody. They have a large fenced in backyard which was a huge plus!”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were so amazing. This was the first ever time our pups stayed with someone other than family. They provided updates regularly and really worked to make sure our dogs were comfortable, despite one of them having major anxiety. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“10/10 recommend Emily. She is super responsive, kind, and my dog seemed to genuinely be having a great time in all of the photo updates and videos I received each day I was away.”
“Mary is fantastic! She took both my dogs for a week and they were cared for in a safe place with exercise, tons of snuggles, a beautiful fenced yard, and the company of her two friendly dogs. The easy communication with Mary and her easy going attitude makes you feel like you are leaving your dogs with a trusted friend you’ve known for years . This has been the most positive pet sitting experience I’ve ever had using Rover. Thank you Mary for looking after the doodles like your own.”
“This was by far our best boarding experience ever. To start with the set up is perfect and the place is absolutely beautiful with lots of room. So much so that I even asked if they would board humans. Incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly thorough when it came to pre-planning to drop off and communication during boarding and pick up. I especially liked that. They had us bring as much of our dogs stuff from home such as bed and bowls, and that type of thing that way it would not break the routine and we definitely have seen the results since we picked up our pet. Many times when we pick our pet up It takes them a couple days to get back on track but it’s almost like we never even left her. Can’t say enough about the quality of care and people and the place our dog was kept. Will definitely be taking our dog back when we need . I can’t stress enough how enjoyable our vacation was knowing that we didn’t have to worry about anything regarding our pets care.”
“Ohmygoodness, Gianina is 100% FANTASTIC! She is SO kind and has such a beautiful spirit. I knew she had a huge heart for animals when she smiled at Riley as soon as she laid eyes on him. She didn’t know that I noticed it. She is SO wonderful... I don’t have enough words. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to watch their fur kiddo. She is a sweet soul and very, very caring and interested in taking care of pets. Riley whined all the way back home… I suspect it’s because he didn’t want to leave her. lol Thank you, Gianina!!! You’re an angel!”
“My dog Luna seemed to thoroughly enjoy her stay with Violette and her family! Violette sent me lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She was super kind throughout all of our communications, and very understanding when I had traveling delays. Luna was kept clean, fed, and well cared for. I would absolutely book Violette again, and would recommend anyone else to. She genuinely seems like a warm-hearted, good-spirited person!”
“So grateful for Giancarlo's excellent care! Our pup does not do well with boarding facilities, but Giancarlo kept him happy and health for over a week. We appreciate Giancarlo's flexibility and frequent updates. We look forward to booking with him again!”
“Amanda was amazing!! Her family gave our dog Ozzy such loving care and knowing he was in greats hands helped us to enjoy our time away from him. He had a blast! A very special thanks to her daughter who gave Ozzy extra special attention. I'd highly recommend Amanda for your pet care needs.”
“This was my first time using Rover (boarding) and Randy took such great care of Marnie! I work late hours, but he was very accommodating and responsive. He sent photos of her so I was assured she was doing great. I would definitely trust Randy again with Marnie!”
