Personalized care for your dog or cat - Genlee
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Genlee
“I’ve never boarded any of my dogs at someone’s home before so I was really anxious. Crystal had wonderful reviews so I left my 5 month old puppy with her for the weekend. It was a great experience. She is a kind and warm person. She sent pictures and video of Odie and responded quickly when I asked her how he was doing. He came home healthy and happy which makes me very happy.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Lucy while we were out of town. I loved getting the daily updates from Lenibel—they gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lucy was well cared for and truly loved. I think she was even spoiled more than she is at home! We really appreciate everything you did for her.”
“Sarah was great! She welcomed our little guy over Christmas and took great care of him. This was our first time using Rover and we appreciated all the pictures and updates. We'll happily book with her again.”
“Adrienne was awesome with Charlie; she sent lots of photos of her children with Charlie and really seemed to enjoy having him. I highly recommend using Adrienne as a pet sitter!”
“Adriana took great care of Chelsea!! She was attentive & provided plenty of photos while I was away. Chelsea loved playing with Adriana & her pup. I would definitely use her services again!”
“I hope I can board my dog there again and again. Julie was friendly, on top of everything, and my dog looked sooo happy in every one of the numerous photos Julie sent me. She gave me a daily update and answered everyone of my questions instantaneously. I had flight issues on my vacation return and she was so flexible and kind about it all. Overall rating TEN out of five!”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Mary and Jonathan are the best!! I have an anxious doggo and I could tell she loved her time with them (and wanted to stay longer if she could haha). They took care of her as their own and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates during her stay!! They made sure she felt loved and got all the cuddles. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters to take care of Mapo!”
“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”
“Desire was wonderful with our dog! She was super nice, flexible, and took such great care of him. She kept us updated and sent us pictures. We would absolutely have Desire stay with him again and highly recommend her!”
“Daisy had an amazing stay at Daria’s - she was right at home there! We’re so grateful for the attention and care Daria provided Daisy. I’m pretty sure Daisy misses her already.”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“So grateful to Ashley & PJ for always being so kind and flexible ❤️ We never have to worry when Cooper is with them, which means so much to us. Thank you again for helping us out last minute!”
“My dog Max had a wonderful two weeks with Abby. She gave regular updates and was home during the day so Max enjoyed the company. We felt Max was very safe and happy! We would rebook with Abby again in the future!”
“Hongbin was an incredible dog-sitter. Him and his partner were so nice and accommodating for both me and my dog. My dog quickly warmed up and felt like home and was playing and relaxing immediately, probably because of theyre loving and welcoming energy. She had a great time and was tired afterwards from all the fun she had. Hongbin asked all the right questions about my dog and I’s preferences and was extremely attentive to my dog. He sent me many photos and videos updating me on all her activities and showed me she was enjoying herself and comfortable. They treated her like their own family and walked her many times and provided her with a new toy she loved during her stay. They were very communicative and everything a dog-mom could ask for. I would definitely use their services again if I need them in the future. Highly recommend Hongbin!”
“Dianne was so caring to our Teddy.. She is a kind hearted human and she took such good care of Teddy. She genuinely care and you can feel it the moment you see her. Thank you so much Dianne!”
“Ravon took fantastic care of our senior pup. She gave her so much love and attention!! She made sure to fully understand her dietary and exercise needs, which we really appreciate. Ravon definitely provided a safe, home-away-from-home for our girl. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and was very very responsive. We would absolutely book with Ravon again!”

“Allie was so friendly and pleasant, and always provided the best updates about my kitties! She was super responsive and very detailed - I felt so comfortable being away from them knowing that she was taking care of them! 10/10, would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again for sure!”
“Doug did a fantastic job with our 3 cats while we were out of town. The cats were very comfortable around him and he did a great job looking after them. Thanks for all your help!!”
“Miki was fantastic with our boys. They were a clear and reliable communicator. What I liked best about working with Miki was her ease of asking for help when something was unclear. We have chronically ill boys who require pilling to keep them stable. When there was an issue with our fluffiest, she reached out to notify us of the change and was super receptive. Smooth sailing after that! I love that I can trust someone to be curious and to reach out when something is unclear. Loved working with Miki and am so happy to have a great sitter on our side. Thanks, Miki!”

“Suzanne was phenomenal with my dog and took great care of him during visits while I was out of town. Walks, belly rubs, and play time, she sent detailed updates and ensured he was well taken care of.”
“Janelle is amazing! After my other sitters had to change availability, I needed someone else. She is courteous and communicative. And I could tell my kitties were comfortable, based solely on the photos she sent. I’m going to use her again for sure.”
“Margarita was incredibly detailed in her summaries which was very appreciated. She played with our 2 kittens daily and also made sure they ate and had clean litter boxes. We will alway pick Margarita in the future!”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our two particular fur babies!

“Meghan took great care of my cats! She went above and beyond bringing food from home as we figured out a key situation. She remained calm and provided great daily updates.”
“Liz did the best job taking care of Tahoe for a week! She was very prepared and thorough beforehand. During the visit, she sent frequent updates. We could tell Tahoe was being loved and cared for. She also left our house in perfect condition. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! We will definitely be using Liz again.”
“Rebecca is awesome! She stopped by to check in on our sassy cat and administer meds nightly. She was consistent in schedule, adept at giving transdermal meds to a picky kitty, and gave great updates. We will definitely book again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Genlee
“Qian is great! She showed lots of love and care to my dog, sending many text updates, photos and videos. Toys, multiple trips to the dog park, and cuddle time on the sofa. My dog truly had an amazing time. I highly recommend Qian and will be surely be rebooking.”

I got regular updates, photos, and could see how comfortable and happy they were the whole time. One of my dogs can be a little shy, but she totally won him over! I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind Mani gave me, and I’ll 100% be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!”
About: I have raised both of my dogs! I also had a rescue before them and found a puppy and cared for it in 2019. I think for me even finding pet care for my own babies, I struggle to actually find people I can fully trust that they fervently would prevent anything from happening to them and care is easy and enjoyable for them. I currently am building my own other business from home so I have lots of availability! I travel for the business around the city so I dont mind driving at all. I of course do have to juggle my own pups, and schedule in general but I am a very SHOW UP type person! 🙌🏽❤️ I have a small fenced in yard where I pick up the waste 2x a day. I am pretty OCD, and live clean, but you know how it is with dogs. My dogs play all day together and I already walk them 1 long walk a day and lots of playtime outside and inside. My pups would either have to come with me, or you come to us. Millo my patchy white one is a bumblebee! He gets along with all dogs, he is fixed. Graceyn will soon be fixed, I would never have dogs here if she was in heat, but because she’s Border Collie/Aussie sometimes she’s my challenge child. We go to the dog park multiple times a week and she does great, so only will retaliate if shes given a reason to, but she’s an absolute lovey girl. I am very capable of walking multiple dogs. Graceyn gets so excited on the leash she is a little bit reactive, but I can walk Millo and a guest dog for example.
“Cassius had a great time with Jill! She was a great communicator and provided frequent updates throughout the day. Her home is like puppy heaven on earth. Highly recommend!”
“We were looking for a trustworthy sitter for our dog, Phoebe, and we’re so glad we found JB! He was really great with her, took her on walks, and kept us updated with photos throughout her stay. We were running quite late when picking her up, but he was extremely accommodating and polite. We had a great experience, and JB would definitely be our first choice for Phoebe again! 💛🐾💛”
About: I'm not a professional with fancy certifications, but I am a dog person. I owned and raised my pit mix from puppyhood for 13 years—so I know what it takes to care for a dog properly, keep them happy, and build real trust. The biggest advantage? I work from home. That means while I'm watching your dog, they're never alone for long stretches. They get consistent attention, regular breaks outside, and someone who actually cares about their wellbeing—not just a checkbox on a care log. Your dog won't just be watched; they'll be treated like they matter to me, because they will. I work from home, which is the real game-changer here. Pet sitting isn't a side hustle for me—it's something I can genuinely fit into my day without it feeling rushed or like a checklist. When I'm watching your dog, I can check in throughout the day, take them out for bathroom breaks, keep them company during work calls (the calm kind), and make sure they're getting the attention they need. No long gaps where they're waiting alone wondering when someone's coming back. It's flexible too. I can work around your schedule—early morning, afternoons, weekends—because I'm home anyway. Your dog gets consistency and care without me having to squeeze them into an already-packed day. In my home: Your dog gets a safe, comfortable space where they're never alone for long. I work from home, so I'm there throughout the day—letting them out for bathroom breaks, keeping them company, and making sure they have water and a calm environment. They'll be treated like they're part of my routine, not an inconvenience. In your home: I respect your space and your dog's routine. I follow your instructions on feeding, walking, medication, or anything else specific to your dog's needs. I'll send updates so you know exactly what's happening, and I treat your home with the same care I'd want for mine. Either way: Safety and trust are everything to me. I know what it's like to care deeply about a dog—I had mine for 13 years. Your dog won't just be fed and let outside; they'll get genuine attention and someone who actually notices if something's off.
“My Prince had such a wonderful time during his short visit with Anirban, his wife and fur baby Dave! Prince didn’t want to leave and I’m so happy he enjoyed his time! I will definitely be rebooking - highly recommended! Thank you for the updates and prompt communication! I will be in touch soon!”
About: I’ve trained a 1-year-old Doberman and lived with a Pomeranian and Shiba Inu for several years as their daily companion. I've also had a full course of private training sessions (1 on 1) with Petsmart trainer, so I am very adept at making sure your dog is comfortable and well taken care of. From feeding to playtime, I was involved in every part of their care. I have a calm, friendly energy that dogs naturally gravitate toward—it’s like magic how quickly they bond with me! I combine hands-on training experience with daily companionship, giving me insight into each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle senior care, I adapt with ease and genuine love. Dogs don’t just tolerate me—they truly enjoy being around me. I will always take pictures and videos and send them to owners frequently, to make sure your pets are enjoying every moment with me. My wife and I like to keep a very clean house to make sure all visiting dogs have a comfortable environment. I am working from home remotely, so the timing is pretty flexible to take care of dogs any time on weekday or weekends, day and night. Whether in my home or yours, your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with no hazards, and I always follow your care instructions closely—meals, walks, meds, and routines. I build trust through calm, respectful handling and constant supervision. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and part of the family, whether they’re here for the day or overnight.
“Anitra was so supportive in taking my pup for an early drop off, it was great to see Sydney at the dog park right next to her home while I was studying for a big exam. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy and do with love and attention.

I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I treat every pet like part of the family. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy caring for animals and easily make time in my routine to walk, feed, and give them attention. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked regularly, and given lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or the client’s, I keep the environment safe, clean, and comfortable.

About: I've grown up around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I grew up with 3 beagles, and have also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. This has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs and administering medications when necessary. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I will be at your home for the majority of the time, only popping out occasionally to grab food or run quick errands. I can easily adjust my day as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. When I stay in your home my biggest priority is ensuring that your pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet's normal routine, energy level, and feeding schedule, as well as any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I'm experienced with walks (both fast paced and slow), potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it.

About: Hi there! I am a college student and lifelong animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets. I currently work as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia Raleigh-Northwest and have several years of professional experience as a dog walker and pet sitter with two trusted pet care companies. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a long walk to relaxed pets who just want some company and attention.

I truly love what I do and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I work part-time at a dog daycare and attend a couple of afternoon classes during the week, but I take extra care to plan my schedule so I can still provide reliable visits, walks, and attentive care for my clients. As my Rover client base grows, I plan to open up even more availability to dedicate additional time to Rover bookings. I always follow your instructions and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I enter your home as directed, lock up behind me, and respect any off-limit areas. I do a quick walkthrough to check for any messes or accidents, and I pay close attention to your pet's behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for.
About: I have experience owning dogs since I was a child. I also have many years experience of small animal, cat, and reptile ownership. I have worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility as well as our local Humane Society. I work a normal job 9 to 6 Monday through Friday. With traveling being common over the weekends, I am available anytime as my weekends are completely free. I will take care of clients pets in their home using the guidelines they set. I would prefer no pets in my home unless I’ve gotten to know the animal, as I have a dog and a cat of my own.
About: I was raised with dogs and when I eventually got my own dog, I knew that I could never go a day without a fur baby. They bring such happiness to our lives and I feel that we should do the same for them! I would be more than happy to watch your fur child and love them as my own. I do have my own dog in the house - she’s a 3.5y Newfiedoodle named Bailey. She is very friendly and playful and would love to have some company. I can’t wait to hear from you! I work full-time from home which allows me to dedicate a lot of my time and attention to furry friends. I also have availability most weekends. Please reach out and let me know what your needs are and we can go from there! Dogs are able to play and have fun freely within my home as we have PLENTY of dog toys. Dogs are allowed on furniture and encouraged to make themselves comfortable! My own dog, Bailey, drinks a lot of water, so cold water is always on deck and ready to go.

About: I can’t own a dog of my own right now, but I would love to be able to take care of dogs when the owner’s schedule becomes too hectic. I had a Maltese poodle, Australian shepherd, and a blue rock coonhound so I have plenty of experience. Big dogs aren’t a problem to me. I will be able to keep up with more active dogs. Just let me know the personality of your furry family member and I will be able to adapt to the needs of them. I will be able to give your dog all the attention it needs and I’m very patient, so if you have a special needs dog or puppies, I would be a great fit for them as well. I currently work very short hours and have a flexible schedule. I want to work with your family in getting your animal the best care. I live in an apartment, but if they are staying with me we would get a walk in the morning, noon, and a trip to the dog park at night.

“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“This was the first time to board my two dogs with Paul, he took good care of them. The pictures and updates were great and put me at ease. My dogs behaved like they were at home, and they were having fun! I bet they would be excited to see Paul and play in his backyard again. I highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Luis watching our chihuahua. Luis has a great house with a backyard in a quiet neighborhood. We felt comfortable and secure with his regular updates which included a photo. Luis was very accommodating to our travel schedule and our pup's needs.”
“Adrienne was awesome with Charlie; she sent lots of photos of her children with Charlie and really seemed to enjoy having him. I highly recommend using Adrienne as a pet sitter!”
“I hope I can board my dog there again and again. Julie was friendly, on top of everything, and my dog looked sooo happy in every one of the numerous photos Julie sent me. She gave me a daily update and answered everyone of my questions instantaneously. I had flight issues on my vacation return and she was so flexible and kind about it all. Overall rating TEN out of five!”

“Mary and Jonathan are the best!! I have an anxious doggo and I could tell she loved her time with them (and wanted to stay longer if she could haha). They took care of her as their own and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates during her stay!! They made sure she felt loved and got all the cuddles. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters to take care of Mapo!”
“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”

“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”
“My dog Max had a wonderful two weeks with Abby. She gave regular updates and was home during the day so Max enjoyed the company. We felt Max was very safe and happy! We would rebook with Abby again in the future!”
“Rachel was great! Very easy to communicate with and I appreciated her daily pictures of Maple. She also took Maple to the park to play ball a few times, which I know Maple loved! I would definitely book Rachel again!”
“Hongbin was an incredible dog-sitter. Him and his partner were so nice and accommodating for both me and my dog. My dog quickly warmed up and felt like home and was playing and relaxing immediately, probably because of theyre loving and welcoming energy. She had a great time and was tired afterwards from all the fun she had. Hongbin asked all the right questions about my dog and I’s preferences and was extremely attentive to my dog. He sent me many photos and videos updating me on all her activities and showed me she was enjoying herself and comfortable. They treated her like their own family and walked her many times and provided her with a new toy she loved during her stay. They were very communicative and everything a dog-mom could ask for. I would definitely use their services again if I need them in the future. Highly recommend Hongbin!”
“Amanda is wonderful! She is so kind and loving and Elle came home happy. She took such good care of our girl and sent lots of pictures. I really appreciated her updates because our girl has some special needs. Amanda gives extra love and attention that takes all the worry out of leaving our Elle.”
