“Lutisa took such amazing care of my sweet girl! She kept me updated every day! She made my first Rover experience amazing. Thank you so much for everything! You definitely have a repeat client with us!”
“Gina was absolutely amazing! She showed my fur baby the same love, affection, and attention that I give him at home. She sent daily pictures, text messages, and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Gina carefully followed his diet and supplement routine and made sure he received plenty of exercise and playtime. It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving dog sitter!”
“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“Another great stay! Jane, thank you for taking such good care of my pooch again and sending pics and video on a consistent basis. It reassured me that he was in good hands!”
“This is the first time my pet was away from us with new pets and people. The best choice ever. They were very responsibe and made sure my pet had a wonderful time. We got many pictures and updates of how he was doing. I recommend them 100% and will go back”
About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs at local dog parks and dog friendly restaurants or other locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I wake up early and go to bed around 9pm/10pm. I have one dog in the home who is very friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, and day/night boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good and safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard with a carport/porch area. Plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, there is plenty of space to take them around the yard as well as walkable streets near our house, and a park less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.
“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cinthia and Fernando. They took great care of our puppy, Zizou, and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos. It made a huge difference seeing how happy and comfortable he was. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”
“Starla and her family were loving and caring with Lola. She replied inmediately to all my texts and sent constant pictures of Lola. I will surely leave Lola with her again. Thanks!”
“Omg my doggy had the best stay with Ashley and her family. My boyfriend and I were out to visit friends for a day and then Greenville for vacay and my dog's daycare was closed on the 4th for boarding. I haven't used Rover in years but I was so glad to find Ashley's information. I worry when I have to leave my little guy anywhere but I felt like he would be in good hands with her. I got such a good vibe from her when he was dropped off and she gave me updates. My dog was returned to me happy and tired lol. I'll be using her services again when we are in the area. Thanks Ashley!”
“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”
“Maribel and her sweet dog Molly were awesome! Our girl Emma has a bit of separation anxiety but Maribel was patient and caring for Emma to help her adjust. She always kept us in the loop with pictures and info on how things were going. Many thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Yasmeen was great! She took care of Stella while we were away on an international trip. She communicated with us throughout our trip and send pictures and videos each day. We feel our pup was well taken care of and was happy to be there. Great experience for us and would 100% book again.”
“Paisley was absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of Rocky while I was out of town. Great communication from the booking request to picking up Rocky. She was super flexible and easy to work with. I received daily updates and photos. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Stephanie, Matt & their boys are amazing. Jake was very happy their while we were in the Spain & Italy for 18 days. They made him feel at home. I don't think he wanted to leave but did. Was Lost for a couple of days without the boys and dogs to play with. Thank you all so much. Highly recommend them to take great care of our Jake!”
“We can not rave enough about Abbey!!!! She is always so sweet and takes amazing care of little dog and sends pictures and updates! Highly highly recommend using Abbey and will definitely use her again!!!!!!”
“Thank you, Victoria, for taking such great care of Moon! She truly understands dogs and treats them like family. I highly recommend her, especially for dog boarding.”

Cat caregivers near you - Gum Tree
About: I’ve owned cats throughout my life and taken care of my friend's, roommate's, and neighbor's cats since high school. I have been told I know how to get even the shyest cats to warm up to me. However, experience with my own extremely sassy cat has shown me how to cater to all pet needs, including alone time in a hiding spot.
“She did a great job! She made my cat feel safe and comfortable despite his usual nervousness around people, and made sure all his needs were met. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Carrie did a great job of caring for my kitty. I needed to find another sitter after the sitter I had been using for about 2 years moved away. With Carrie, I have my next go-to kitty sitter. Upon meeting Carrie for the 1st time, I could tell she took her pet-sitting seriously based on the questions she asked and my initial interactions with her. I highly recommend Carrie.”
“They took excellent care of my kitten and took heed to the special instructions I had left! I’m grateful I could find this quality of care on such short notice!”
“Tricia bonded with my cats in the first contact. She was open to me checking in and communicated as needed and well during my time away. The cats were calm and looked well cared for when I returned. The house was also in good shape. She even bought a scratch pad for me to give to the cats - which they love.”
“Elise was an excellent cat sitter for my week long trip. She left the house in great condition and my kitties were all happy and healthy on my return. I appreciated her excellent communication with any issues involving the cats as well as the extra attention she gave my kitties while I was away. I will definitely book with Elise again in the future!”
“Catie is always great! She is fantastic with communication. She is always on time and Sammy looks forward to his walks. I trust her 100% with my little boy and never have to worry.”
About: I love all dog breeds and if your senior needs time or extra attention I’ll be there and if a puppy needs extra potty breaks let me know maybe you have a spicy cat I will take my time I pet sit for my friends and do dog train for them but I will be scheduling that around the hours for my Rover account I follow all directions and if I even have a minor question I don’t try to figure it out by myself and make a mistake I’ll make sure I get your permission
About: I grew up around both cats and dogs in the home at the same time. My father, sister, and in-laws currently have cats/kittens in their homes so I am familiar and comfortable being around female and male cats (both social and non!). I have done many check-in/play visits with my sister's cats on several ocassions while she was out of town or working. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for cat check-ins!
“Amaya was very attentive to our cat while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone with an eye for detail and love for animals!”
About: I’ve had cats since my mid 20’s. My cats are my children. I’ve had friends over the years that tell me when they die they want to come back as a cat and I adopt them. I take great care of my cats. They are indoor only, see the vet regularly and have their immunizations. I can cut nails and have given meds; liquid and pill.
“Amanda is great! Prior to our first appointment she met me for a Meet and Greet to go over our routine with my dog Dottie. For our scheduled drop-in Amanda was on time, followed our routine, sent pics and spent time with Dottie. We will definitely use Amanda again in the future.”
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved animals. Whenever I could, I've always taken up a job where I can pet sit and take care of animals. I'm always researching about dogs, cats, and other pets to keep my knowledge up to date. I've even taken care of stray and hurt cats, rehoming them. Currently available to take care of any pet at any time 24/7. Need to find your sitter that day? I'm the one to reach out to. I'll follow any instruction that is needed of me from the client. I'll make sure to give your pet plenty of love and all the care that is needed.
“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”

“Rachelle and Christopher are so great with my girls. I can tell how much they love my dogs by how excited my dogs get when we arrive each week. Thank you for loving them like family!”

“Catie is the best. Super accommodating and considerate. Sweet dogs that my pup loves to play with. Sends lots of pics and videos while watching my pup which is great. Highly recommend her!”
About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
About: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. We both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱
“Jared was a great pet sitter for my Westley. He was prompt in replying, friendly & seemed genuinely interested in caring for my little dog…an added bonus, he had a fenced in backyard to keep Westley safe. Westley was a happy pup when I picked him up!”
About: What sets me apart isn’t just my certifications or years of experience. It’s my commitment to creating customized training plans that teach both the dog and the handler. Every dog learns differently and every owner deserves to understand why their dog behaves the way it does. My goal is to build lasting communication, confidence and reliability that extends far beyond our training sessions, whether I’m working with a family pet, a behavior case, or a future service dog. Because I work with dogs daily in my own home or on location it fits right into what we do here. Board and trains also come into play as we offer a family environment over kennels and runs. Our pets are part of our family and believe that they deserve the world and as much unconditional love just as they show us, no matter our faults are. ALL DOGS WHO BOARD WITH US MUST HAVE UP TO DATE VACCINES INCLUDING KENNEL COUGH - no exceptions.
About: 3. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, and tailor my care accordingly. I also prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure that they are updated and informed about their pet's well-being while under my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe space to stay in. I provide them with food, water, and toys, and take them on regular walks or playtime. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routines and schedules as closely as possible and make sure to provide them with the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule enough time to feed, walk, play with, and care for pets.
About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.
“Tonja was great! I sent my Maltipoo for the first time today and everything went well. Tonja sent pictures and videos throughout the day and was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!”
“Christina was welcoming and professional and the bonus was making my fur baby feel like family when her kids came home for school! I would recommend and use her services again”
About: Hi! I’m Lexi, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for a long walk or a senior dog who prefers a slower, more relaxed stroll, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I have experience caring for senior dogs, including providing extra patience and attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. I’m also comfortable administering medications and giving shots when needed, so you can feel confident that your pet’s care routine will be maintained while you’re away. I understand that your pets are family, and their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and committed to making every visit or walk a positive experience. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and care tailored specifically to them. 🐶🐱❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! I’m currently working from home full time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible! I can make most schedules work, or work with you to find the perfect timing! I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions you provide. During walks, I prioritize safety and make sure your pet gets the appropriate amount of exercise and stimulation for their age, energy level, and abilities. I’ll also provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, safe, and cared for—and for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away!
“Nicole and her husband were so nice. I had a last minute trip and they were able to watch Cooper for the day. They were so welcoming and took great care of Cooper. Nicole sent me pictures of Cooper through his stay and answer any messages I sent her promptly. I will definitely have Cooper stay with her again if we are ever back in town.”
“Paisley and her family were wonderful with Athena and very flexible with my work schedule. Super clean environment and I could see that Athena was very comfortable there. She was excited to go back the 2nd day, which is always reassuring. Will definitely hire again if the need arises!! Thank you!”
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”

“Sarah took excellent care of my dogs. The whole experience was easy for me and even better than I had anticipated. The daily photos were wonderful. They obviously love her now, which is always nice for me when I travel.”
“Cameron is so great with my baby, Bagel. She makes Bagel feel loved, and she does a great job walking her and communicating with me about Bagel's walks. I'm grateful to have Cameron taking care of Bagel!”
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Today was the first time Tricia walked Daisy. She came and met with us last week and we immediately had peace of mind. She is so loving and Daisy accepted her immediately. We were so lucky to find her!!”

Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.
About: First time doing this on a professional app! I’ve been caring for pets for a couple years—both as a long-time dog owner and friend to similarly-minded friends. Recently, I’ve gotten into caring for reptiles and amphibians, including feeding and changing humidity when needed. I’m a college student, so although I have classes that will take up a few hours out of my day—they’re flexible enough to allow me the freedom to set my own schedule! I know that pets deserve the upmost respect! They are our best friend our siblings and children and I will treat them as such. Furthermore, I’m fairly athletic, so if you have a gentle giant or wild speedster, I’ll be able to keep up with them.

About: I was raised on a farm with cats and dogs. I have a plott hound mix, a pit bull, a lab, and a sassy calico cat, all rescues, of my own. I have a lot of compassion for animals and treat them like members of the family, albeit spoiled ones. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while their human(s) are gone. I am comfortable with cats and small to large dogs at any energy level. My neighbors, vet, and friends can provide references, if needed. I work in education, so my summer schedule is wide open. Nights, weekends, and some holidays are possible during the school year. I am able to check in, walk, stay overnight, etc. In your home, I will follow the instructions given and take pictures to let you know your pets are well taken care of. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
About: I volunteered at Forsyth Humane Society for 3 1/2 years. I also fostered for multiple shelters. I have worked with many different breeds, big and small. I currently have 2 large boys, 3 medium sized girls and 1 small girl, of my own. I am a certified dog trainer. I have experience working with dogs with special needs (physical), behavioral issues and other specific situations that require special attention or instruction, making me a trustworthy care taker for dogs who require special accommodations (dogs needing to be kept separate, leash pullers, feeding separately, dogs fearful/anxious of new people, dogs who simply need someone to take time to earn their trust or who need their normal routine followed.) I am not just your average sitter, safety is priority and I understand every household has different needs and requirements. I am comfortable and happy to work with dogs of any breed or size I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can be flexible. I currently have time in the mornings or late afternoon/evenings for drop in visits I have multiple crates for dogs in my house. I also have kennels outdoors for my dogs to play during the day, which are covered. I will be sure to follow any instructions you may have for your pet. I will ensure to establish a connection with your pets so that they become familiar with me and comfortable and take the time to learn things they do and do not like or activities that they may enjoy doing.
About: Hi I’m Luke! I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs over the years. From puppies to senior pets, timid to aggressive dogs big or small I’ve taken care of them all. Dogs are like people with their own special needs and quirks that need to be addressed with care. Contact me today to see how I can help! I work a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day into evenings for dog walks and drop in visits! Schedule varies so always willing to stop by! I currently live in an apartment complex that is friendly towards dogs. All dogs have their own special needs that need to be met and I am here to make sure those needs are fulfilled.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and trained a few now. I’ve watched and walked many varieties and sizes including labs, golden doodles, frenchies, and border collies. I work from home and have some availability from noon-1, when I’m not walking other dogs. I am available as soon as 4pm most week days and all day most weekends. I’m very active and looking forward to walking dogs more often. I always assess my environment whether walking a dog or letting them out to go to the bathroom. I always make sure the dog has what it needs and there are no safety concerns before leaving.
About: I have over 40 years experience with pets. I've had birds, a pig, a mini horse, rats, cats and dogs. I know how to care for ill and/or elderly pets. I know how to administer medications. I am a runner so can give your dog extra exercise, if requested. I have a wagon for elderly or injured dogs so they can get some fresh air. I'm reliable, responsible and professional. This is my full time job. I can give my full attention to your pet. Whenever your pet needs me, I can be there for them. Safety is very important to me so I make sure things are put away that could harm your pet. I make sure floors and litters are clean. I make sure food and water is always available and in reach.
“She went above and beyond in every way when it came to dog sitting our puppy Mia. Always on time, took her time with Mia, and went out of her way to make sure her needs were met. She did so great that our dog is gonna miss her! Glad I didn’t go with any other option. Brooke is a true blessing!”
About: I've got over 15 years experience pet sitting, dog walking, and working in kennel environments. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, horses, and everything in between! I have 3 dogs of my own who love to meet and play with other dogs. I have special experience and a soft spot for senior pups who may need meds or have other special needs. I will love your furbabies like they are my own. I work from home 3 days per week and usually have weekends off from my full time job. I have a fully fenced yard with a dog door so as long as your pup gets along with my dogs they will be able to roam my house and yard freely all day when I am home. My pups are a mix of active and lazy/cuddly. My yard is fully fenced with special care to block any would-be diggers or jumpers. Dogs are crated when I am not home or cannot watch them. For dog walks, I can accommodate meals and medications if needed along with let outs and walks.
About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite! I raised a miniature schnauzer for 15 years (RIP Dooney). I now have a senior rescue named, Layla Grayce. I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters and have fostered dogs as well. I will love your fur baby just as they were my own! Thank you for trusting me and allowing me the opportunity to look after your fur baby 💕🐶🐱😊 I work remotely from home. This flexibility allows me to make myself available as needed for your pets needs. I will honor your pups schedule for all feedings, walks, and potty breaks. Layla would be a great companion for your pup as she is gentle and calm. At bedtime, I can crate your pup or allow them to roam my home. I will give them the attention they deserve while doing my best to make sure they feel safe and at home. I’ll also take photos and provide frequent updates while I care for your fur baby :)
“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: Hello everyone! Firstly, I’d like to say that I currently reside in Charlotte, North Carolina. I do not reside in Kernersville, North Carolina. I’m not sure why my account is not updating my address. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. My name is Vera Mossed. Like I mentioned previously I live in Charlotte, NC. I have 2 pets of my own. 1 chihuahua mix and 1 Lab. I’ve had them for nearly a decade they keep me busy and I love them so much. I have about 2 years of experience with pet sitting. I want to get back into doing this gig just to get out more and have something to do. I believe a connection with a pet/ animal is a mix of joy and unconditional love. I can’t wait to meet each of you. Have a great day!
About: There are very few times in my life that I haven’t owned a dog. I grew up with dogs and my husband and I currently own one dog- a big lovable knuckle head who will love to meet your dog. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunities for play time. I both currently work from home, so I am able to dedicate a lot of time and supervision to your dog! I have always had a family dog growing up. I have a lot of experience with dogs from all walks of life - puppies, geriatrics, to hands on health needs. My dog Gus is very friendly and loves to play. He is very open to visitors and new friends! Please feel free to contact me at any point if you have any questions. I work from home 3-4 days per week so I have the capability of full time supervision and frequent potty or outside breaks. I work a normal 8-5 job. My back yard is fully fenced in so no chance of escape. We also have a back door that leads directly to the back yard. I have two dogs of my own I care for so adding an additional dog doesn’t change much for me so long as your dog isn’t nervous around big dogs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to host dogs at my house or go for walks. I have flexibility over the days I have to go in to the office. Our home is very easy going. My dog is a free feeder, allowed on furniture, beds, and gets human scraps. We have a fenced in yard for space to run around off leash.

“Another great stay! Jane, thank you for taking such good care of my pooch again and sending pics and video on a consistent basis. It reassured me that he was in good hands!”
“This is the first time my pet was away from us with new pets and people. The best choice ever. They were very responsibe and made sure my pet had a wonderful time. We got many pictures and updates of how he was doing. I recommend them 100% and will go back”
About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs at local dog parks and dog friendly restaurants or other locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I wake up early and go to bed around 9pm/10pm. I have one dog in the home who is very friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, and day/night boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good and safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard with a carport/porch area. Plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, there is plenty of space to take them around the yard as well as walkable streets near our house, and a park less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.
“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”
“Omg my doggy had the best stay with Ashley and her family. My boyfriend and I were out to visit friends for a day and then Greenville for vacay and my dog's daycare was closed on the 4th for boarding. I haven't used Rover in years but I was so glad to find Ashley's information. I worry when I have to leave my little guy anywhere but I felt like he would be in good hands with her. I got such a good vibe from her when he was dropped off and she gave me updates. My dog was returned to me happy and tired lol. I'll be using her services again when we are in the area. Thanks Ashley!”
“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own! I truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures to let me know she was doing great. I know Sydney will be excited to go back to their house and get spoiled in the future.”
“Maribel and her sweet dog Molly were awesome! Our girl Emma has a bit of separation anxiety but Maribel was patient and caring for Emma to help her adjust. She always kept us in the loop with pictures and info on how things were going. Many thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Yasmeen was great! She took care of Stella while we were away on an international trip. She communicated with us throughout our trip and send pictures and videos each day. We feel our pup was well taken care of and was happy to be there. Great experience for us and would 100% book again.”
“Paisley was absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of Rocky while I was out of town. Great communication from the booking request to picking up Rocky. She was super flexible and easy to work with. I received daily updates and photos. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Stephanie, Matt & their boys are amazing. Jake was very happy their while we were in the Spain & Italy for 18 days. They made him feel at home. I don't think he wanted to leave but did. Was Lost for a couple of days without the boys and dogs to play with. Thank you all so much. Highly recommend them to take great care of our Jake!”
“We can not rave enough about Abbey!!!! She is always so sweet and takes amazing care of little dog and sends pictures and updates! Highly highly recommend using Abbey and will definitely use her again!!!!!!”
“Meghan is the best, period!!! Her and her family great people and our dog loves spending the night(s) with them. I couldn't be more pleased and I really hate boarding my dog when Meghan's not available!! Thanks Meghan!!”
“Jared is the best! He takes great care of my rescue who is an absolute handful at times! Jared has saved us several times being available short notice! We really appreciate how he shares photos, and keeps us posted!! I could not ask for a better pet sitter!”
“I found Christopher to be genuine, caring and professional. Rudy isn’t quick to warm up to people, and he adjusted well to Christopher’s home. Christopher seemed take each dog’s needs into account to make sure everyone was cared for comfortable.”
“Nicole did a great job of communicating - sending photos and videos. Brody was in great shape who e we picked him up and even tired out due to his fun playing with the other dogs. We would leave him with Nicole again when needed.”
“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”
