“Nikki Grace was spoiled and treated like an absolute queen. This was the perfect set up for her. Larry and Pam were friendly, attentive, and kept us well informed with pictures, videos, and texts updates daily. I recommend them to anyone who wants to know their fur baby is in good hands! I know ours little fur baby will be staying with them again❤️?”
“We used Connie's services once again due to her obvious love and great care of our Zoe girl! She provided updates including pictures and videos that we appreciate so much! It's great to know that our family can depend on Connie to take care of Zoe while we are on vacation.”
About: **I do have access to Fort Bragg! :) I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From smalls puppies to mastiffs and cats to rats, birds, and more! My family and I have rescued and lovingly homed most of our previous pets, which has deepened my understanding of the unique needs and special care that pets sometimes require. I’ve developed patience and a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply cuddling (maybe my favorite part), I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and comfort. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority and I PROMISE to treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a full time online student working on my bachelor’s in Health Sciences! I’m available pretty much 24/7, and what better way to fill this time than by taking care of your fur babies?! Depending on your pet’s preferences, we’ll either enjoy cozy indoor playtime and cuddles or stay active with outdoor adventures. Your pet will be fed strictly according to their usual schedule, and my home offers plenty of comfortable spots for restful naps after walks. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s ideal for their wellbeing. If boarding at your home, I will maintain their regular routine while ensuring they receive plenty of love and engaging activities. Cleanliness is a priority for me, so if you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to provide complimentary cleaning services while your pet is resting or otherwise occupied, ensuring a fresh and healthy environment!
“Oh my God. Chantel is the best. We had never been separated from our Dog since we got her in November 2023. She did a great job caring for our baby girl for 6 days while we were away. She kept us informed of how she was doing and shared videos of her the entire time we were away. She is truly an amazing and gentle pet lover. We would highly recommend her to care for your pets when needed. We would definitely give her a 5 Star rating 😉 Thanks so much Chantel and family for loving our baby girl while we were away.”
“This is my first time ever using an app like this to find a sitter for my dog so I was super nervous and anxious but I soon found out I had nothing to worry about! Kimberley took really great care of my fur baby, sent me daily pictures, and best of all she had another pup for him to play with and keep him busy which is amazing since my dog is VERY energetic. Dropping him off and having my sister pick him up was very easy and straightforward, my nerves were at ease leaving Junior with Kimberley and I will definitely be reaching back out to her any time Junior needs a sitter!!”
“As usual, Lisa was amazing with Molly. It is such a relief when you have to leave and know your fur baby will be well taken care off. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your pet.”
“Brandon and Nikkishae took A-MAAAAZING care of my puppy!!!! They sent me pictures and videos the whole time she was there. (At least twice a day!) I WILL bring my dog back and am very happy with the service they provide. Thank you Brandon and Nikkishae!”
“Our regular sitter wasn’t available last week, but thankfully Megan was one of the Rover-recommended sitters—and we are so grateful she was. The reviews are from real people! From the moment I sent my initial inquiry, she was responsive and stayed in touch. After the meet & greet, we knew it was a perfect fit. She took wonderful care of our boy, kept me updated throughout his visit, and sent the sweetest pictures. He’s well-loved at home, but we’re a busy family. She truly spoiled him, and now he’s going through withdrawals ♥️ lol.”
“It was so cool meeting Maria. She has a friendly and laid back attitude. She knows everything to do and communicates easily. She sent me pictures of my dog to update me on how he was doing. Would recommend”
“Kordula and family took our pup into their home and treated her like one of their family. She sent pictures every day and we felt so happy and comfortable with her staying there. She was amazing!”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“I had to find a last minute sitter for my dog and found Ercilia. She was amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving Finn with her. I was gone for about 36 hours and she sent me so many videos and pictures! I was never worried about Finn and I have no doubt I’ll be going back to Ercilia next time I need a sitter.”
“Caitlin and her family were great to meet and I am incredibly thankful to have found a home where our dog is happy and well cared for. She kept us updated with lots of pictures which made being away easier. Thank you so much!!”
“Dennis clearly loved his first stay with Joanne, he came back happy and clean. Joanne updated me every day with pictures and let me know how he was getting on. She’s a lovely lady who clearly loves dogs and I knew our boy was being well looked after and loved!”
“Amber was great! She was very kind and took great care of our dog Pocket - who is a large dog with a ton of energy! She has a big yard for the dogs to run and play. She was also very responsive checking in! We appreciate her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Caitlin! She was absolutely incredible—by far the best sitter we’ve had for Sully. She kept us constantly updated with pictures and messages, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our own vacation knowing he was in such good hands. From the looks of it, Sully had his own vacation filled with fun, cuddles, and adventures. We’ll definitely be booking with Caitlin again—she’s a true gem!”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”

About: I have always grown up around cats and have taken care of them for family and friends when they have been on vacations. I am familiar with indoor or out door pets, cleaning of the litter boxes, and how much food to feed them. I can also administer medication if needed.
“Sandy took great care of my kittens while I was gone. She was on time everyday. The boys had a lot of fun playing with her during the visits. Sandy usually takes care of dogs, but I can also recommend her for cats.”
“Nancy is the BEST!!!!! She takes great care of our 2 cats and takes a bunch of pictures for me! She also brings in our mail and watered my plant! I’ve been booking her any time I need a sitter and will continue to do so! Thank you for all you do Nancy!!!”
“Alivia is awesome! She has been great with my VERY shy nine year old cat multiple times in the past. This weekend she was also AMAZING with my two rambunctious kittens. They enjoyed Alivia's attention & affection. I really appreciated her prompt updates & photos.”
About: I've taken care of a family friend's cats for 5, going on 6 years! They went from 1 cat to 4, it's been so exciting working with each one and watching them gain trust in me. I have a gentle hand and will be there to support your cat in your absence :)
“Grace was great!! She came by as scheduled and communicated with us daily with pictures and messages! I think by the end of the week she had a couple of new kitty BFFs! We will definitely use her again!!”
“Skylar did an excellent job watching my critters and handled a few challenges that arose like a champ! You can definitely feel secure leaving your fur babies in her care.”
About: I have grown up with all different kinds of pets. Along with watching friends pets, I have worked for companies such as United Paws and Wag. I can do early mornings and evenings, I am in the military so that takes up my time from 9-1700. I do have Saturdays and Sundays off. I will care for the pets as if they are my own. Lots of love and playing and treats if permitted. Pet deserve full attention and that is what they will get.
About: While I am a proud dog parent, I love cats! Growing up in a multi-pet world, I know that cats dictate their own rules. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who wants to play or a shy hider who just needs their boundaries respected, I adapt completely to their personality. I make sure your cat receives the exact routine they thrive on by providing fresh food, water refills, and a meticulously scooped litter box during every visit. My experience managing a diverse three-dog pack has taught me to highly respect individual pet boundaries, so I naturally adapt to your cat's unique mood. I will always keep you connected to your feline friend with detailed text updates and photos from every single check-in!
“Aimie is the best! She kept us up to date with each visit, and sent us daily report along with pictures. She is quick to answer text messages, and very easy to comunicate with. We would definitely book her again and recommend her services 100%! Thank You Aimie!”
“Great friend to our dog! Brittany gives good reports of her visits and makes sure your pet is cared for and attended to properly. Our dog is always happy to have her checkin on him.”
“Margaret did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She was awesome at communicating and keeping us informed of what was going on and sent very cute pictures of him while we were away.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Godwin
About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊
About: We're conveniently located just off of hwy 401 and near I-95 and I-40. I've always had family pets since I was the age of 2. I've cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I've been a midwife to many previous cats, bottle fed, watched live births of pups, and administered oral medications. I am always available for play time and snuggle time. I currently work part-time and am only away for 6 hours during the day. During this time my husband or my teen are usually home for part of that time. It's perfect because our pets aren't left all alone for very long. I have 2 dogs, one is playful and one is very relaxed. They have been around other dogs a number of times and loves playing at the dog park. They are friendly. At night our dogs are able to go upstairs and sleep in our room. During your pups stay, they are welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. We have a spare room downstairs that I'm happy to stay in if they need that (my dogs take up our whole bed upstairs). If your pup is crate trained and prefers their crate, I suggest you bring it for their stay so they can feel more at home.
About: I have loved animals all my life and have had pets in the home since I was born. I first started babysitting others pets while their owners were on Leave or TDY starting in the 3rd grade. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of grass for your pet to run and play. While your pet is in my care, they will be given plenty of potty breaks, exercise and play time. I will send you pictures and brief updates throughout their stay to put your mind at ease. I have extensive experience dealing with senior pets who need medications and who need special care due to specific medical ailments. Your pet will always be treated as my family. They will get hugs and kisses, too! Please don't let my address in Wade deter you...I am only 8 miles from Ramsey Street!! For safety reasons, we cannot take care of Pitt Bulls or any pet that is aggressive. If it is the first time caring for your pet, I will ask to do a Meet and Greet so we can all meet one another to ensure our pets will all get along. I work remotely from home so your pet will rarely be left alone. I have two dogs of my own, so your pet will have plenty of company to play with. Since I do work from home, I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and time to go outside in the yard to run and play. I have a very large fenced in yard that is all grass and very clean providing your pet plenty of room to run and play or just time to walk around the yard and explore. I will never leave your pet outside alone. Either my husband or I will be with them the entire time. While inside the house, they will have full access to clean water, plenty of toys and soft dog beds, all in our very clean home. If I am dropping in on your pet in your home, you can rest assured that I will be on time for the visit, take them to potty, and give them plenty of love. I will be very respectful of your home and only go in the areas needed for me to do the visit. For safety reason, I will not be able to watch Pitt Bulls or pets that are aggressive in any way. Please let me know if your dog can jump or climb fences, or is an escape artist.
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was old enough to walk! I have a cat and great dane, and have had many other small pets in the past. I walk my great dane every day and I am happy to take care of your little loved ones! I am a full time student and work/volunteer part time, so I try to be as flexible as I can with clients. I am happy to make space in my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I do not leave pets unattended. I am very observant and quick on my feet. Your pets safety is my #1 concern. My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
“They were amazing! I was nervous to leave my pups but they were so tuckered out when they got home and I know they took great care of them while staying there! Will definitely use them again when I need a sitter!”
About: I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust. I am currently available during the week and most weekends to care for your pets; this includes drop in visits, walks and even training sessions. Safety of the pets in my care is of the utmost importance, whether I care for them in the client’s home, I am boarding them in my home or walking them in public. I will abide by city, county and state laws regarding the care and maintenance of your beloved pets.
“Noni told me all I needed to know about this sitter when she acted like she didnt want to leave with me just yet ☹️lol! A very good sign that she not only felt safe but cared for at the same time. Juleysi comes highly recommended from me!”
About: Hi, I’m Celina, an animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I recently relocated from Alaska to North Carolina and am excited to provide top-quality care for pets in my new community. My passion for animals drives me to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether you need a regular pet sitter or someone for a special occasion, I’m here to help! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked with dogs who have anxiety and understand how to make them feel more at ease, whether it’s through a calming environment, routine, or extra attention. I’m also skilled at administering medication to both cats and dogs, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, house sitting and doggy daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, such as cleaning up after pets and watering plants. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I genuinely love taking care of pets and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs medication, special attention, or just someone to be there while you're away, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily life. I take my daughter on daily walks, so having a friendly dog to accompany us is always a joy—if your dog is comfortable and safe around children. If not, no worries! I can leave my daughter with a trusted person while I give your pet my full attention. I have my own car, so transportation to your location is never an issue. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need, no matter what! When caring for pets in your home, I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, ensuring your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. During my visits, I’ll feed, water, and play with your pet, as well as clean up after them. I take special care to ensure your pet’s safety by following your guidelines and routines, keeping doors securely closed, and making sure they’re always supervised. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship, or medication, I ensure they’re safe and happy until you return. Safety is my top priority when walking dogs. I ensure that dogs are always leashed and carefully monitored during walks. If your dog enjoys walks and is safe around children, I can bring them along on my daily walks with my daughter. For dogs that require more individualized attention, I provide solo walks in quiet, pet-friendly areas to keep them safe. While house sitting, I make sure your pet stays safe and secure in your home, following their routine to minimize any stress. I also keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and take care of light tasks like watering plants. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Ever since I was little I have had an unconditioned love for all animals and it has always been my dream to work with them when I got older. I always treat every animal like they are my own no matter who’s pet is, my last 2 jobs were a dog bather and I have loved every second of it and I can’t wait to work with animals again. I am currently able for full time, I am availability at all times and so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always here when needed. I have a safe animal environment inside my home to where your animal is safe throughout my whole place, I have a back yard where I can take them to the bathroom when needed, I also always have a food and a water bowl out so if your pet is hungry or thirsty they will have full access to their needs. I have toys for both cats and dogs and they are kept clean after every dog use and I have a fully vaccinated dog and he is very sweet and loves all animals so if wanted my dog can keep your dog or cat accompanied.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Buddy stayed with Jacky for eight days, and from the very first day we knew he was in great hands. Every morning he was excited to go to her, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he felt with her. Jacky took wonderful care of him, kept him active, and made sure he felt safe and loved throughout his stay. It was such a relief knowing that Buddy was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and Buddy came home happy and tired every day. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention Jacky gave him and would trust her with Buddy again without hesitation. Highly recommended – 5 stars all the way”
“Skyler took good care of our little girl. She was more than accommodating. She was not even fazed at our drop off time of 5:30 am! We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much Skyler.”
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
“We just used Julia for our first time and she did not disappoint! She was very kind to our pup and gave a nice big report on him at the end of the visit. Julia is very sweet and has a big heart for animals. I appreciate her honesty and will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Ever since I was a baby all I can remember is having pets and caring for them. Walking them, feeding them, letting them outside and giving them love. I have 2 fur babies of my own who are beyond spoiled. I have trained my current 2 dogs and our family dog back home in Michigan, with potty training and basic commands. I’ve cared for dogs who need medications including my own pup who gets ear infections. I have a fenced in privacy fence backyard with a good amount of running room. I am currently not working so I’m a stay at home mom. I’m available all days of the week all hours and most holidays. This gives me and your fury friend plenty of time to play and be outdoors, or for me to spend extra time with them in your home. I have a fenced in back and front yard and two fur pups of my own. This can give your fur baby playmates as well as mine. I can easily accommodate to crates, special diets, medications and almost anything your fur friend needs. I have 2 totes of toys, and a 5 gallon water jug down at all times.

“This was Alexis’ first time with my dog Otis and she was a hit. She communicated appropriately and arrived at the time she promised. She provided multiple pictures of the activities and locked my house back up like I asked her to. All around positive experience!”
“My boys can be a bit much when first meeting new people and the two together can be a little overwhelming.. Sandra has really been so good with them and they respond very well with her! We are thankful for her patience and the work she does with them ! Such a blessing for us!”
About: I have always had a big heart for animals. I have had many of my own over the years! I have cared for my own animals as well as for family, friends and neighbors. I currently have a senior dog of my own and I do all that I can to make her comfortable, just as I would for anyone else’s pet! I currently work a full-time job from home but I would be available to do possible drop in or dog walks first thing in the morning, on my lunch if it is close enough to my home and evening times as well. I work a part-time job as well on some Saturdays but I would still be available for weekend services as well. Possibly would be interested in doing drop ins here at my home. I have two small dogs of my own one which is a senior now and another that will be one in August. I do not have a fenced in yard but have plenty of well maintained yard space in the back of my home for them to be let out for potty and play time. I do currently crate my youngest dog only when needed and I could do the same for someone else’s. My daughter ask that I dog sit her full size golden doodle on a weekly basis and they all get along very well with other dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My dog is now a senior but we adopted her as a puppy. Due to my dogs age and health complications that come with it, I've gained experience with senior care. This includes light stretches, red light therapy, medication, etc. Watching her grow up gave me the incentive to support other pet parents by making sure their pets are taken care of while they're away. I've watched a family friend's 4 cats for the past 4 years, as well as 2 others. I enjoy what I do, and I'd love to extend my services to you! I'm currently working part-time, so outside of work, your pet will be my number one priority! I can stop by in the morning and afternoon for at least 1 hour each, spend quality time with them, clean up if necessary, and make sure they're comfortable for the evening before heading out. When I arrive, I'll greet your pet at the door or, if applicable, at their kennel. I'll look around and do any easy clean up, let them outside to potty or clean up litter boxes, make sure food and water are good, and then spend some quality time with your baby. I like to be active, so I'll take him/her on walks, play in the yard, or just chill about if they aren't keen on the sweat. Either way, I'll engage and make sure they're ok!

“We didn’t get to meet Amanda as we had to make an emergency trip out of town so hoping for the best. Amanda exceeded our expectations! She was very responsive and friendly. Detail oriented as she let us know what all she did and was flexible to our new home and coordinating how to get into our home. * she even brought in my Amazon order from the porch! Amanda sent pics of olive and walked her much longer than we do (she is 13). I’m sure this helped with some of Olives anxiety of us being away! We will definitely request Amanda again. My daughter also was so happy with her and her communication.”
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.

About: I have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.
About: My name is Brittany. I am 24 years old and have been taking care of dogs and animals since I can remember. Growing up I always had a dog ranging from little chihuahuas to big pit bulls. I was always the one to bathe, feed, walk, and train my fur babies. I have a couple years in the veterinary medicine field as well. I have administered oral and injectable medications for cats and dogs. I currently work Monday through Thursday 8am-5pm and Friday 8am-1pm. I am completely free on the weekends to house sit, drop in and check in, and walk your precious fur babies though. Currently at this time I can not offer any in home boarding. I will be more than glad to come over and walk, feed, and care for your fur babies.
About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

“Kayley took such good care of our pups while we were away! It was so nice to know they had the comfort of their own home while we were away. Kayley kept in contact with us throughout our trip so we always knew how much fun they were having!”
“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”

About: **I do have access to Fort Bragg! :) I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From smalls puppies to mastiffs and cats to rats, birds, and more! My family and I have rescued and lovingly homed most of our previous pets, which has deepened my understanding of the unique needs and special care that pets sometimes require. I’ve developed patience and a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply cuddling (maybe my favorite part), I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and comfort. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority and I PROMISE to treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a full time online student working on my bachelor’s in Health Sciences! I’m available pretty much 24/7, and what better way to fill this time than by taking care of your fur babies?! Depending on your pet’s preferences, we’ll either enjoy cozy indoor playtime and cuddles or stay active with outdoor adventures. Your pet will be fed strictly according to their usual schedule, and my home offers plenty of comfortable spots for restful naps after walks. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s ideal for their wellbeing. If boarding at your home, I will maintain their regular routine while ensuring they receive plenty of love and engaging activities. Cleanliness is a priority for me, so if you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to provide complimentary cleaning services while your pet is resting or otherwise occupied, ensuring a fresh and healthy environment!
“This is my first time ever using an app like this to find a sitter for my dog so I was super nervous and anxious but I soon found out I had nothing to worry about! Kimberley took really great care of my fur baby, sent me daily pictures, and best of all she had another pup for him to play with and keep him busy which is amazing since my dog is VERY energetic. Dropping him off and having my sister pick him up was very easy and straightforward, my nerves were at ease leaving Junior with Kimberley and I will definitely be reaching back out to her any time Junior needs a sitter!!”
“As usual, Lisa was amazing with Molly. It is such a relief when you have to leave and know your fur baby will be well taken care off. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your pet.”
“Brandon and Nikkishae took A-MAAAAZING care of my puppy!!!! They sent me pictures and videos the whole time she was there. (At least twice a day!) I WILL bring my dog back and am very happy with the service they provide. Thank you Brandon and Nikkishae!”
“Our regular sitter wasn’t available last week, but thankfully Megan was one of the Rover-recommended sitters—and we are so grateful she was. The reviews are from real people! From the moment I sent my initial inquiry, she was responsive and stayed in touch. After the meet & greet, we knew it was a perfect fit. She took wonderful care of our boy, kept me updated throughout his visit, and sent the sweetest pictures. He’s well-loved at home, but we’re a busy family. She truly spoiled him, and now he’s going through withdrawals ♥️ lol.”
“It was so cool meeting Maria. She has a friendly and laid back attitude. She knows everything to do and communicates easily. She sent me pictures of my dog to update me on how he was doing. Would recommend”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“Amber was great! She was very kind and took great care of our dog Pocket - who is a large dog with a ton of energy! She has a big yard for the dogs to run and play. She was also very responsive checking in! We appreciate her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Caitlin! She was absolutely incredible—by far the best sitter we’ve had for Sully. She kept us constantly updated with pictures and messages, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our own vacation knowing he was in such good hands. From the looks of it, Sully had his own vacation filled with fun, cuddles, and adventures. We’ll definitely be booking with Caitlin again—she’s a true gem!”
“Jacqueline was a fantastic sitter for my husky!! She provided many photos and shared lots of updates for her 3 night stay. Her yard was ample space for my dog to run and play. Jacqueline even took her for a walk. Her family had other animals my dog enjoyed being around. Her home was immaculate, especially considering my overly shedding dog. I made a short visit to check on Khalessi and she had no problem with my family doing a quick hello. I would always use Jacqueline for my stays in Fayetteville. I already recommended her to friends and family.”
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
“Kristin took excellent care of my fur baby! She has a huge fenced yard that my dog loved. She was extremely nice and her home is clean. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kaitlyn took such good care of my 4yo husky. She was very responsive and was flexible in making adjustments to the booking.Overall, my dog had a blast staying at Kaitlyn’s house and would highly recommend.”
“We had a great experience with Celina & Justin! They took great care of our dog and could tell she was getting lots of love and attention (with updates and pictures). We would definitely recommend and will hopefully be using them in the future.”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
