I will continue to use Juli in future and highly recommend anyone else needing a Rover!”

We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!”

About: Hi, I'm dependable, stay-at-home dog lover who provides a safe, fun, and loving environment for you're pup while you're away. I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I prefer they are in a crate or in a kennel at night. I ask that you bring your own as that is what your dog is used to, it's own safe space. If they are not crate/ kennel trained, I do have a large space to roam with a fence. If the pup is a small bread I do have a play pen for your pups safety.

“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was 5 (20 years). Key responsibilities included feeding, petting, walking. I have experience with golden retriever, border collie, staffy, bullmastiff, pitbull. I love medium and large breeds and small dogs are better than cats. I’m currently an online student, so I’m home all week for feeding animals. I go for a morning and afternoon walk every day and would love to help include your pet in that schedule. I don’t have any pets in the house, so I can be a private sitter, or I can have multiple dogs, which ever suits your needs! I do not have a fence in my backyard, however can be supervised or leashed for outside play/ potty breaks

I truly believe pets are an important part of any family, and my love for them is not just a job, but a genuine passion. With 30 years of service at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, caring for others has always been my calling. That dedication extends to animals, too. Now retired, I’m able to devote my full time and attention to providing exceptional care for your pets. II provide personalized care based on each pet’s preferences, whether that means walks, playtime with toys, gentle affection, or quiet companionship. I make sure your pet stays engaged, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. My home is clean and pet-safe, free of harmful plants or chemicals, and equipped with cameras for added security. I always follow each owner’s rules and routines, keeping your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority.
“Our fur baby was loved on all day by Rachel. She was responsive when we checked in with her. Our pup, who is usually pretty skittish and won’t eat when nervous, ate all of her food while with Rachel. If we are in the area in the future, we will definitely see if Rachel is available!”
About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a timid tabby, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and medicine, I have the hands-on experience to handle it all. I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.

About: My entire life has been endless pet care experience! I have lived with cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperments, and ages. Currently living with my own two dogs and a cat, I understand the need for a trustworthy care taker for my babies. I care about the wellbeing of animals so much, I plan on going to vet school! There is no animal that is too much for me! I can do drop in vists through out the day as I have a few hours scattered through the day between classes and practice. If you needed longer daily walks, I could take your pet out in the morning and leave them tired for the day! I could also provide short boarding services to a dog or cat that is friendly with other animals. My own animals have been around various other animals and are well trained so as long as your pet is friendly they would get along great! Every animal is different and require diffreent treatment. I approach all animals and enviorments with understanding and patience, allowing the animal to communicate their needs in any given senario. I can adjust to various enviorments based on the animal's temperment and the owner's preferences!

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved.

If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.

About: I will love your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 springer spaniels that love to play. I can give special care for a dog that needs meds or has a special diet. I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.
About: I had pets since I was 7. I had taken care of dogs, cats, fishes, and even a squirrel throughout my life. I even took care of my neighbors' pets while out of town. I'm not currently working but I'll like free days on Friday through Sunday. I'm available on Monday through Thrusday starting at 9am to 9pm, if not busy. I have a 3 year old male cat named Yin. I spoil him so much with treats and loving, so your pet will be treated the same. So any special requests you give me for your pet, I will do what is instructed. I have a yard, big enough to walk and play with your pet.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. From puppies, to full size, elderly and special needs pets. I’ve had a fun time training and playing with pups of all sizes and breeds. Taking care of them is one of my favorite hobbies. I’m always the go to for sitting when people need it. i’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups before or after work. I do work some weekends so I can do any time as long as I have notice beforehand so i can plan accordingly. i’m easily adaptable, the more information the better from feeding schedules to how long playtime should be and what you’d like to see while you’re away. I can provide toys if needed and treats as long as theyre safe for your babies.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats in the family household my whole life, and started sitting family friends pets at a young age! I’m a part time online college student and work part time at two jobs in costumer service, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible for whatever! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medications, and make sure they have a safe and stimulating environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting their space, and I keep pet owners updated with regular check-ins.
About: I have had dogs of my own over the past 10 years, and have looked after several family and friend's dogs and cats many times. They have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit for their fur babies. I'm reliable and trustworthy. I have a very flexible schedule and can pop in for a quick visit or walk, or I can stay in your home for a longer term. Pets generally need a good amount of attention. I can bring calm comfort to an anxious or tired pet or go on a rigorous walk with a more rambunctious pet.
About: I am very energetic! I love to play outside with dogs. I love to play fetch and ball. I love to play in the sprinkler with dogs. I love to go on runs with dogs and make sure they are having the best time! I am always excited to play with dogs! I always make sure that they have the option to use the bathroom and always have access to water so they never get dehydrated. If they take any medicine, I make sure I have an alarm that lets me know it's time for them to take it! I always make sure that the dog feels comfortable at all times, and I always keep the owner updated to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I know your dog is your best friend, but when you can't be there with them, let me take care of them until you can! I do have base access! I have a very open schedule throughout the week and would love to play with your fur baby while you are away! So don't you worry, they will definitely get loved on until you get back! One way I ensure your baby is safe is by always going outside with them even when it's bad weather! I try to always make sure that your fur baby feels calm and safe no matter the situation. Another way I make sure they are safe is ensuring they are not in an area they are not normally allowed in alone. If we were to go on a walk or an adventure, I'd make sure they have on their collar and leash and of course send you lots of pictures while we're out!
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!
About: I have hands on experience working at an animal shelter, where I regularly walked, handled, and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Through this, I’ve worked with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious ones who need extra patience and care. My experience has taught me how to read dog behavior and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits easily into not my daily routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my day to day meet to each pets needs. I do attend church on Sundays and Wednesday, but outside of those days I am highly available and committed to providing consistent and attentive care. In my home (boarding/daycare): I provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible. Dog walking: during walks, I focus on safety and exercise, making sure each dogs get the right pace and level of activity for their needs. Drop ins: when visiting a clients home, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and receive attention and playtime. I also respect the home by keeping things clean and following all instructions closely. No matter the service, I provide updates and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and live while you’re away.
About: Hi!! I am a rising sophomore at ECU and my family and I just moved to Garner from New York. I am looking for dog care jobs over my summer break so I am available all day every day until I go back to school. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.

With plenty of couch lounging, playtime with her pups in her big backyard, access to plenty of bully sticks and homemade treats, she was treated just like one of her own. Juli was great about sending updates and pictures which put my mind at ease as well. Also I was pleasantly surprised to see my fluff ball of a dog had been thoroughly brushed out and smelling great at pick up!! Such a nice surprise. I will continue to use Juli in future and highly recommend anyone else needing a Rover!”

“Kentrice was very patient and understanding of CoCo, our mini Dachshund. Coco had been in our home for only 3 weeks when I had to go out of town for work. It was an adjustment for the both of us and the puppy in her was a little trying as she adjusted to the numerous transitions she was experiencing. Kentrice was very knowledgeable and share many many tips to aid in training CoCo which has been greatly appreciated.”
