“Brooke and her family are amazing! They provided a warm, loving home for me to leave my little Gizmo when I planned a last minute getaway for myself. Her teenage daughter immediately bonded with him and immediately started giving him love! They sent my photos of him while I was away. The day I was returning she was flexible with my return time. What else could you ask for?! I will definitely be using Brooke again!”

“Nancy was a blessing 🙏We were so fortunate to be able to find her. She and her family looked after our precious little fella impeccably! She met us straight away to see if we were a good fit and kept communicating throughout with photos and comments. He adjusted so quickly and fit in like part of their family. I could see from the photos how much care and love they gave him and the freedom he always had to roam in the garden, rest anywhere and the safety he felt with them be g at home!

About: I'm a dedicated pet enthusiast with over three decades of experience looking after my own loyal companions, from pup to pooch! I've also got the stamina and soothing energy needed for walking and caring for neighborhood dogs when their owners are away. My furry friends seem to know it too, which makes me smile just thinking about those cuddles and wags they give in return! With the flexibility of running my own business, I'm able to always be available for you on weekdays between 8am and 2pm, plus extra hours as needed.

And daily walks full of fun that consider size & age.

He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”

About: Hello! I’m Tasha :-), a dedicated dog lover with a lifetime of experience caring for our furry friends. As someone who works from home, I have plenty of time to give your pup all the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or long walks in the neighborhood, I’m here to make sure your dog feels right at home. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, so I tailor my approach to suit your pet’s unique style. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended sitting.

I'M AVAILABLE:-) Since I work from home, I can easily incorporate breaks for walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I typically start my mornings with a walk to energize both myself and the dogs, followed by feeding and some quality playtime. I create a dog-friendly space, free of hazards, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I will also establish a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep dogs comfortable and reduce anxiety.

“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!”
“We were so thrilled to find someone who also had a Schnauzer and understood their 'quirks'. Our Stella had the best time and never seemed nervous or stressed. Yelena was great to send photos and really cute videos of our babies going for walks and playing together. Thank you so much, Yelena! Especially since this was short notice. You are now our number 1 go to.”

“Kristina was SUPER nice and sweet! She did amazing with our dog Ranger and sent us as many updates on him through the few days that he stayed with her. She was prompt and understood my need for reassurance as this was a first for me. Ranger had a GREAT time and made some new friends. When we got home he was pooped and ready for bed. We will definitely be coming back to her anytime we are in need of a sitter. Thank you soooo much Kristina for taking care of my baby!”

She came by to meet them ahead of time and walk through their routine which helped me feel so much more comfortable using Rover for the first time! She took great care of my guinea pigs and sent some adorable updates along the way ❤️”
“Isabella and Joseph were absolutely amazing! I was really nervous because it was my first time boarding my cat and my cat Maisie, can be quite the feisty feline at times. However, Isabella and Joseph were so accommodating and kept me informed every single day! I did not even have to ask for updates and would receive daily texts in the morning/midafternoon. When I did reach out, the response time was great and always reassuring. I would 100% recommend booking these two and if I need to use rover again, I will definitely be booking them again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have cared for every kind of animal you can think of since I was a kid—ponies, goats, bunnies...you name it, I’ve loved it! The last decade or so I have been mostly a dog mom and I have never met a dog I don’t love. I have boarded pups in my home, done drop in visits and done house sitting for friends and family for years. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your pup like the sweet baby he/she is, that’s me. I would love to care for your furbaby! I’m currently a stay at home mommy with a very flexible schedule, and I am available every day for drop in visits and walks and snuggles. I am happy to provide meet and greets for a small fee to help your dog or cat become comfortable with me before starting to provide services! I will also come bearing treats if you, the owner, are okay with that. I promise to help your furbaby feel safe and loved, and send you photos of our time together.
About: I have been around animals my whole life, loving them and caring for them. I started fostering dogs 7 years ago and love everyday. I enjoy being outdoors and walking mine and other dogs. I can teach some basic obedience skills about walking and behavior.

I currently work part time (in the morning) but have my afternoons open to dog walking! I have some weekends available as well to dog walk or drop in. If you don’t have a fenced yard your dog will always stay on leash. I always recommend microchipping pets & wearing collars with name tags to ensure safety.

I love going on walks, playing catch, tuggawar and everything that your dog loves. I am home all day so your pup will get a lot of attention. My dog gets along great with all dogs and loves to play and share her toys. If you’re dog loves other dogs and company this is the right place for them!

I have crates and plenty of rooms if needed.
About: I have the innate ability to put pets and their owners ease. I have had the opportunity to care for many pets in my neighborhood over the past 15 years. The comfort of a home versus s kennel is priceless to s pet and owner. I boarded my dog only one time and realized I could never do that to her again. My next door neighbor and I began switch off care for our animals during vacations and my other friends heard and wanted my help with their four legged loved ones. I I have boarded several at my home for a week at a time and was able to give owners piece of mind. I also dog sit/ house sit as needed due to the ages of the pets. The older pets tend to be more at ease in their own space. I walk every morning with my dog and other dogs for my health as well as theirs. Keeping pets moving keeps them young!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. Friends, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets! I am currently a college student available Thursday evenings thru Sundays. I have plenty of free time on the weekends to play with your pets. I am open to housesitting or stopping in for visits. I am able to care for your pet by taking them on frequent walks, playing with them inside or out, and treating them as I would my own pet!
About: Hi there! My experience with animals has been life long. I grew up with dogs and cats as a child, and currently have 2 of my own. I work for a local veterinary clinic as an assistant which has expanded my knowledge on all different types of animals and their care. I am capable of caring for dogs of all sizes, from teacup to giant, and of all ages. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs that require daily medication and extra attention. I believe that pets are like children and should be treated as such! Your animals will be treated like my own, including love, walks, and play time. I would love to be able to meet your pet and show them love and care in your absence. I can also care for small critters and reptiles. I look forward to hearing from you!
“I couldn't be more pleased with Maddison and the exceptional care she provides for my furry friend. She’s incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and with a genuine enthusiasm that my dog absolutely loves. Her attention to detail, from following specific instructions to ensuring my dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime, is unmatched. Her professionalism and kindness have truly made a difference in both our lives. I highly recommend her services to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”
About: I have over 4 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, which has given me strong knowledge in recognizing medical concerns, handling high stress situations, and safely administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.
“Where to even begin with Sariah. She has been walking our boys for months now and we would be lost without her. Originally she started off walking our lab and terrier mix and they both absolutely adored her. Then we unexpectedly had to put our terrier down and she missed him just as much as we did. A month later we rescued our yorkie and she didn’t hesitate taking him on. He wasn’t leash trained, was scared and just over all a traumatized dog. She helped him walk on a leash, carried him when he needed to be carried and loved him through. We are devastated at her moving and not being able to care for our boys anymore. We always knew they were in good hands with her. Sariah thank you so much for taking care of our boys as we would and loving them. You will be missed dearly.”
About: I've taken care of everything from snakes to guinea pigs to dogs to horses. Amphibians as well. I have worked in boarding for over 4 years, and I have been a vet assistant for one. I started off volunteering at the Charlotte Nature Museum when I was 15. I have interned at Carolina Raptor Center. I love all animals in any shape or size. I am also certified in Knowing Dogs 101 and 201, which covers recognizing individual and pack behavior. (ex. when your dog is in a doggy daycare and is playing with other pups.) I have two furbabies of my own, a guinea pig named Tatiana, and a spoiled rotten but adorable mutt named Sora. I promise hou that I will love your pets too! I have an open schedule for looking after your pet. I am more than happy to do morning and mid-day walks, visits, and feedings. I am unable to do late-night visits at this time. (After 8pm) I hold myself to a very high standard for looking after your pet. I will treat your pet and your home with the utmost respect. If they are on meds, then I will make sure that they get them on time and I can also give insulin if a pet is a diabetic.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve grew up with cats and dogs in my household. Volunteered with the humane society between 11-16 years old. Worked at the Animal Hospital from 18-23 years of age. So I have a lot of experience with animals I love all animals. My cats are considered family so I will treat your babies the same. I have experience with feeding, walking, baby-sitting, trimming nails, caring for, playing, and grooming/bathing family, friends, and co-workers animals. I work full time Monday thru Friday but my hours are very flexible. My weekends are completely free I don’t work the weekends at all. I do have an animal gate. But I can accommodate you in anyway you need. Just communicate what you need and we can figure it out.

“Brooke and her family are amazing! They provided a warm, loving home for me to leave my little Gizmo when I planned a last minute getaway for myself. Her teenage daughter immediately bonded with him and immediately started giving him love! They sent my photos of him while I was away. The day I was returning she was flexible with my return time. What else could you ask for?! I will definitely be using Brooke again!”
“Denee was fantastic with our lab. She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog at her home and would not hesitate to book again. Our dog came home happy and well cared for.”
“Scarlett is my ‘Go To’ caregiver for my 2 dogs! They love to come here and I think they feel comfort and safety being here. We are blessed to have found Scarlett! Thanks for taking such good care of Kaysee and Krickett !”
“Jamie was awesome! She sent updates and photos daily and she made sure to give my energetic pup a lot of exercise. I could tell my boy was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I'm a dedicated pet enthusiast with over three decades of experience looking after my own loyal companions, from pup to pooch! I've also got the stamina and soothing energy needed for walking and caring for neighborhood dogs when their owners are away. My furry friends seem to know it too, which makes me smile just thinking about those cuddles and wags they give in return! With the flexibility of running my own business, I'm able to always be available for you on weekdays between 8am and 2pm, plus extra hours as needed. I ensure home entrances are secure, keeping them from running into danger when leaving or entering. I give lots of affection as I attend to making sure they have adequate food and water. And daily walks full of fun that consider size & age.
“This is a long overdue review. Lawrence is so reliable and always makes my pup feel right at home. Thanks to Lawrence she is more comfortable being socialized with other dogs.”
“Bethany provided my girl with the best weekend while we were away. She was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of her and she came back so happy and tired from all the playing. I will definitely be using Bethany every time we need a sitter.”
“Allison and Rick were very accommodating to my boy. Sent me pics and gave me updates. I know he was well taken care of there. I would definitely use them again.”
“This was the second time Scout stayed with Megan and she had a great time. Megan kept me updated with daily photos and let me know how Scout was doing. I’ve already booked our next stay with Megan and her family.”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Mike was great, he was communicative and trustworthy. He sent updates every day he took care of our dog Grizzly. Grizzly had a great time and he even did some training work with him which was really appreciated. Would definitely recommend him for any type of dog care!”
“This was our first time using Rover. And Ginia and her family were great. Daisy loved her stay with them. She had so much fun. Ginia gave me updates daily which assured us we made a good decision choosing them to care for Daisy. We will definitely be using Ginia again. Feel confident in booking with Ginia.”
“Anamika takes good care of my furbaby! Regularly sends updates and pictures. Giving me the peace of mind that he’s in good hands. He has lots of friends to play with and receives all the love.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
