Myra was great. Flexible with a quick pick up the day before, offered to see about a refund for the extra night, we declined the offer. The dogs both seemed happy and healthy when we picked them up. Thanks so much for the service and will definitely use again! Relieved to find a reliable dog sitter who is close to our home and she sends pictures while you are away from your pets... Those pictures assure you more than words can say. Thanks, again!

Excellent boarding experience. Karen has a wonderful and adventurous fenced in back yard for the dogs to sniff and roam and play. Received almost daily a picture or video of my dog on a different adventure. He received the attention he needs and it was overall a wonderful experience.....much, much better than taking him to a kennel that is side by side with other dogs and doesn't have the human interaction that my dog desperately craves and gets at our house. I will definitely use Karen again when the need arises.

Brix did very well during her 2 week stay with Laura M. We were very pleased with Laura's knowledge of dog care and her attentiveness to our dog's personal needs. I found Laura to be very dependable, offering updates and even sending us photos periodically while we were away on vacation. Many thanks for a job well done, Laura!! Rover needs to make their booking services more user friendly. We had a few glitches with their program but Laura helped us straighten it out.

About: I have been around cats since I was a small child. For as long as I can remember we have always had a pet cat. As much as I love doggies, I am a cat person at heart and am very excited to get my own cat one day!! Many of my friends have cats and my family has one as well! I love cats so much words cannot even express!!!! HOWEVER, I fully believe cats should absolutely not be de-clawed, it’s very wrong and can affect the cats behavior. So if you have done that to your cat then please do not hire me because I will not like you!!

About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.

About: I have extensive pet care experience, having owned and cared for two beloved dogs that each lived long, happy lives—one reaching 18 years and the other 20 years. Over the course of their lives, I gained hands-on experience with all aspects of dog care, including feeding routines, exercise, grooming, administering medications, and providing a nurturing, loving environment. I am very familiar with the needs of both young and senior dogs, including maintaining their health and comfort through all stages of life. Now that I am retired, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for dogs. I am available to provide attentive pet sitting, ensuring that dogs under my care receive not only their basic necessities but also companionship, playtime, and affection. My focus is on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether they need daily walks, special diets, or just someone to spend quality time with them. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I bring years of experience, patience, and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting opportunity. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as a retiree. With flexible days, I can easily schedule visits, walks, and playtime around my personal errands and hobbies. Caring for pets gives structure to my mornings and afternoons, and it adds a joyful sense of purpose to my week. When I dog sit in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping the dogs happy, safe, and comfortable by following their usual routine for meals, walks, and rest. I always get detailed instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and emergency contacts. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation, and I monitor their health by watching their appetite, bathroom habits, and energy levels. I keep a clean and safe environment by securing doors and gates, cleaning up after them, and making sure water and food bowls are fresh. I also spend quality time giving them attention and affection, respect their personality and comfort level, and send regular updates to the owner. By staying attentive, organized, and caring, I provide a stress-free, positive experience for both the dogs and their owners.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, giving me about 20 years of experience.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by pups and has always had dogs as part of my family. Currently, I have an Australian Shepherd and a Lab, so I’m very familiar with both high-energy playtime and laid-back cuddle sessions. I’ve also worked at pet boarding facilities, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. From feeding routines to playtime and keeping pups comfortable while their owners are away, I truly understand what it takes to provide safe, loving care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer reliable daily visits and walks. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’d love to help keep your furry friend happy, active, and well cared for!

About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since i could walk and doing so is a huge passion of mine. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling with my Dog and i can’t wait to meet yours! I am athletic, energetic, and therefore love going out on walks, runs. I’m dependable and honest, it’s only fair to allow people you can rely on around someone as important as a pet, especially into the privacy of your own home. I assure you great service and promise to treat others’ pets as if they were my very own. This is a huge responsibility which i know requires attentiveness. No Dog is too big, too small or too strong, As your walker will do my part while they are in my care. I look forward to meeting him or her! I am currently working from home! More than happy to keep your babies company. I like to be as accommodating as i can. At the end of the day, They are ALWAYS the priority. I have a designated park for dogs on the side of my building but I will ensure your dog is on leash always to ensure safety. Upon request, I have socialized and trained numerous dogs- I am more than happy to bring both or one of my dogs on walks or to the park. I also can have my dogs separated, Crated or off site if needed.

About: I have loved animals since I was a small pea. Additionally, I’m in school to become a Veterinarian! I have experience with a variety of animals! I’ve had my own sugar gliders, as well as a python! I’ve taken care of a parrot and a Rosie-cheek bird! At home, we have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I would say I am the primary caretaker of them, I wash them, feed them, clip their nails, and deal with ear infections! The kinds of dogs I’ve had experience with are but not limited to: Golden doodles, tea cup yorkies, chihuahuas, Shih Tzu, pit bulls, huskies, etc. I am able to adjust to your fur babies personality! Whether they are a more mellow and chill type, or hyperactive and love to play! And of course, anything I might find concerning I would be reporting to you! I assure you that your pet is in probably the best care that it could be in! I’m currently working a part-time job and I’m a college student [but on summer break]! My schedule just depends on what days and time I work at my other job! But I love animals so much that I guarantee I will find a way to be with your fur baby! I am more than willing to take dogs or cats on a walk, as I am a very active person! I also enjoy little car rides with them or going to dog parks! The way I care for your pet is primarily determined by what you have for them and their environment! If any doggies or cats are brought to my house then they would get to meet my own doggies and I have a very very spacious backyard! However it is not fenced in!

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

About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 30 years, starting with pet sitting for neighbors when I was in elementary school. While attending college in Raleigh, I expanded my pet sitting work and cared for multiple families with a wide range of pets and personalities. Before moving back to this area, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I provided daily exercise, supervised play, administered medications—including insulin injections—and made sure each dog felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pet dependable care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means a walk, playtime, a midday potty break, or extra patience with senior pets, I treat every animal with the same kindness and attentiveness I’d want for my own. I understand that every pet has a different routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my daytime schedule is flexible and easy to plan around. My weekly routine is generally very consistent, which means I know my availability well in advance and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and midday care without last-minute surprises. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m able to step away for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or medication visits while still keeping a reliable schedule for both pets and their owners. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding in my home, but I take caring for pets in their own environment seriously. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. I always make sure doors are secure, water bowls are fresh, and pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. I also pay attention to small details—cleaning up any messes, checking that toys are safe, and moving anything that could pose a risk (for example, a torn stuffed toy that could be chewed apart). One of the best compliments I’ve received from a client came after a week-long house sit: they told me, “It never even looked like you were here.” That’s exactly the experience I aim to provide—reliable, attentive care for your pet, and complete peace of mind for you.

Brix did very well during her 2 week stay with Laura M. We were very pleased with Laura's knowledge of dog care and her attentiveness to our dog's personal needs. I found Laura to be very dependable, offering updates and even sending us photos periodically while we were away on vacation. Many thanks for a job well done, Laura!! Rover needs to make their booking services more user friendly. We had a few glitches with their program but Laura helped us straighten it out.

Best dog sitter we've ever had. Our dog seemed to love all the other animals and Tanya gave our dog Bummer extra attention. Bummer may have found a second home. Thank you so much!

Sparky really enjoyed his stay and we felt so assured that he was safe and having a great time. He looked like he was having so much fun in all the pictures that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home!!

Wonderful, I love the convenience of having her pick him up and drop him off, he was worn out when he got home which is great, he got to burn off lots of energy, and she was a sweetheart, who had a long goodbye of kisses from Gucci

Dawn was amazing! She welcomed our two dogs into her home, allowing them space to become comfortable. Her dog was sweet and was patient with ours. She accommodated them with multiple potty breaks throughout the day and let them enjoy couch snuggles. We would recommend her anytime!

About: Picture this: you love your working breed dog... but they can be a boarder's nightmare. Does it make you nervous that they won't get enough stimulation while you're away? You can rest assured dogs with me will get 2-3 miles of trails a day along with 2+ hours (more on weekends!) of supervised play time with an equally energetic husky. Along with structured crate time to decompress. I've dealt with the worst of leash pullers and have trained my own dogs with high expectations of good behavior. You don't have to worry about your pup loosing manners or reverting to bad behaviors while you're away! I can reinforce proper training while he/she enjoys vacation at a beautiful hideaway with miles of private woods, right on the lake for some water play when it's hot! Your pet's schedule: 7-9am: breakfast! 1-2 miles of trails 9-12pm: crate time with options of mental stimulation toys and food toys 12-1pm: potty break and inside or outside supervised play time with my dog 1-5pm: crate time 5pm: dinner time and evening walks 6pm-bedtime: supervised time around the house, options to interact with other pets, myself, household members. Bedtime: crate or bed if they prefer Note: this is based on my regular daily work schedule for weekdays and weekends. Some flexibility on time frames, excersize amounts, etc are possible. Just ask and let's see if can work something out! I have a high focus on making sure every animal gets adequate amounts of physical and mental stimulation. If your dog has needs outside of what I have listed, let's have a conversation! Crating is required while I or my husband is not in the house. Your dog will be crated in a low stimulation environment away from other animals for proper decompression time. And will never be longer than 4 hours during the day.

Kara was so good with my pup Koda! She sent lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Kara walked her everyday like I do so she still had some normalcy. She made sure Koda was comfortable! I’m sure Koda will be excited to stay again with her. 10/10 recommend!

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