“Margaret & Tom always treat our boys great. Our Lab needed some medication while we were gone & Margaret went out of her way to run by our house and pick it up and administer it. Our boys were wonderfully taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were out of the State. Will leave them again and again in their care. 10/10 every time.”
“Ms. Kim and her family are the sweetest doggie loving family. I can literally have a talk to my dog tell her she’s going over there and she instantly becomes extremely excited! She starts crying to see them. She listens better to them than to myself! Makes me a proud doggie mama. I feel so stress free leaving her with them. They are God sent to us!!!”
“Naomi was fantastic! She was easy to coordinate with & took great care of my dog! My dog is older & can be difficult when it comes to eating right away or wanting attention. But she was very accommodating to his needs & helped him settle in quickly! I loved receiving the photo & vid updates during his stay!”
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience, providing reliable feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a military spouse and I have access to the Airforce Base I’m a student, but pets are part of my everyday routine! I make time each day for walks, play, and cuddles, with extra flexibility on weekends. I keep pets on their usual routine, offering meals, walks, playtime, and attention, creating a safe, loving space where they feel secure and cared for.
“We brought our golden doodle with us to Snow hill and left her with Lisa while we attended Baseball games. Lisa has a fantastic yard and she took her for walks daily. Maddie seemed so happy and almost sad to leave. If we ever land in Snow Hill again, we will ask Lisa to watch out fur baby.”
“Thomas and Margaret were wonderful! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times and were communicative of how my pup was doing during his stay. I will definitely rebook with them in the future. :)”
“Kentrice took very good care of our 10.5 yr old basset hound, sent pictures and kept us updated. Our dog has separation anxiety and she seemed at ease with Kentrice. I would definitely recommend and will use her in the future if needed.”
“My dog has stayed with Sara a few times now and absolutely loves her. She takes great care of him in all ways. I will definitely have him stay with her again! We could not be happier!”
“Another stellar experience with Jennifer caring for my 2 dogs. During the 5 day stay, one of my dogs got a little too rough with his bed and chewed it up. Jennifer went above and beyond by sewing it back together. It looks good as new now! If I could rate 10 stars, I would! Highly recommended!”
“Mafe was absolutely wonderful with my lil by Gru. She kept me informed of how he was adjusting to her. She sent me pics as well. I recommend her and I willdefinitely be using her again.”
“We were so pleased with the care Allison showed our fur babies. She kept in touch through messages and plenty of pictures to reassure us that they were doing great! I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies home away from home. We’ll definitely let our babies stay again.”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”

“This was my first time using rover. At first I was a little uneasy. But Lisa was great and took care of kitten and kitty and sent lots of pictures and update which helped me not to worry.”
“Riley was outstanding caring for our cat. She sent pictures daily, which helped with any anxiety or worry we had leaving our cat home. We will definitely have her care for him again anytime we go out of town!”
About: As a military spouse, I understand the importance of trust and dependability. I’m patient, loving, and treat every pet like my own. Whether caring for playful puppies, shy cats, or senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their parents peace of mind. ❤️
“Kat was exceptional! She not only did what was needed but went above and beyond for our furbabies. Even after one specific hard day she still made a point to do her check in even though it wasn’t specifically needed. She communicated with me the whole time and sent lovely pictures. She even cleaned up a little on her last day as a special cherry on top. Will be using her services again!”
“We’re so glad we found Elizabeth to look after our two cats! She was awesome!!! She sent us daily updates with cute pictures, and it was clear our cats were in great hands. Super easy to communicate with, and when we got home, the house was swept, the litter boxes were clean, and our kitties were happy. We’ll definitely be booking her again next time we’re away. Highly highly recommend!”
“Makena was great taking care of our 2.5yrs old male cat Compass. Makena provided great communication throughout the process and pictures once a day. Definitely recommend and will work with Makeba again in the future.”
About: I have been a cat lover since I was a teen, my Russian blue was a spicy feline so I understand the time and patience that they need. I have some experience with aloof cats and the little cuddle bugs as well. I also have base access for our military families.
“Caitlyn has been absolutely WONDERFUL when she’s watched my cats! I know they are well taken care of and they love her! I trust her with my boys and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter :)”
“Shannon was an excellent pet sitter for my cats. She should show them love, care, and concern, and was very good about keeping them socialized and friendly. She sent me multiple pictures of her and the cats which meant the world to me as it’s the first time in over 10 years that I had to leave them for so long, which was 12 days. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants somebody to sit for them, whether they be dogs or cats, as you’ll never find anybody better than her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. From large breeds like husky to small dogs like Pekingese, each one has been a part of the family. I love spending time with my own dogs (2 female pits) and love making new friends. I do have a full time job but I’m also available to provide care for your pet during the week, at nights, and on the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and both of my pets are dog friendly. I also have a crate for puppies in potty training. My dogs are walked daily and bathed often.
About: My experience with cat care started 8 years ago, and my time working with kittens is much shorter, less than 2 years. Learning firsthand at animal shelters as a kid how quick cats can go from loving and vulnerable to sometimes fearful and or/irritable taught me most felines have unpredictable emotions. Because of this I learned to approach and treat cats much differently from how I would a dog to get a better chance of bonding. I currently live with three cats and including them I have cared for almost every different coat color besides the infamously chaotic orange tabby.
About: I have been professionally caring for pets since 2007 when I was in college. I started pet sitting for my boss’s neighbors and then in 2015 that blossomed into a full-time job. I ran a pet care business full time in Los Angeles, California for 8 years until I moved to North Carolina at the end of 2023. I love being outside and walking dogs as well as caring for cats. I can think on my feet and am great at problem solving. My boyfriend and I have a cat named, Felix and a small dog named, Joey. I am available for drop in visits to your home for: cats, dogs, chickens, small reptiles & small animals. The best time is anytime in the morning, afternoon or evening during the week days & some availability for weekends. I can walk, feed, or play with your pet while I am doing a drop in visit to your home. Whatever your cat/dog/animal needs while I am there.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, raised puppies and nursed elderly dogs! Definitely a passion of mine. I’ve trained a few rescues as well. I work part time so I’m home quite often, other than that I spend my free time hiking or taking walks with my own pup Willow. Open spaced home, great walking neighborhood with dog park only .10 mile away. Willow I’ve raised since a puppy, she’s a 6 year old lab who is insanely affectionate and energetic, and beyond sweet. She does get overly excited meeting new dogs, and loves making new friends! It’s different for each sitting and depends on what each owner is looking for. I will not take on opportunities that I can’t be fully invested and present for. Plenty of free time to accommodate your pups needs! Communication with other owners is vital from both ends to be sure everyone is taken care of and happy.

About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times.

I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.

“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: 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: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself).

If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.
About: I have worked with Anna’s Angels doggy day care (4 years) & unleashed (2years). I have also had a variety of animals in my life. Animals are loving and caring, you just have to be patient with them. I have experience with grooming maintenance and health care aid as well. I treat all animals like family, Yes!! I allow all pets on my couches, bed , furniture (etc). I’m a a college student studying to get my degree in psychology. This has left me with a lot of free time. I tend to just dog sit my sisters 2 miniature pinscher‘s but I was introduced to Rover and with my love for animals I thought we’d be a great fit. Usually I’d assist with grooming, walks/play time, cleaning of feeding bowls, cages/beds area, refilling food/water or any special request that is needed at the time.
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: My experience into dog care started 9 years ago, and my time working with cats started less than a year later. My experience of both dogs with a hyper or dissociative personality and felines with bad temperament was mostly gained while working at various animal shelters. Some shelter dogs and cats are not temperamental on their own but sometimes will instinctively react to those who are being the aggressors, as is their nature. it's often very similar at dog parks- A Gathering of many unknown dogs, some likely to be reactive to others and always a few having chance of causing a fight. Something I keep in mind for safety every time I have an interaction with a dog I don't know while walking someone else's that I was entrusted the care of, is that other animals I don't know will always be unpredictable. Outside my charity work for shelters, for an even longer amount of time I've taken care of pets of many ages and breeds for family/friends going on 9 years now. I have handled many large breeds; Labradors, Huskies, Great Danes, German Shepards, Mastiffs. I have also worked with various medium and small sized breeds. My total 2 years of experience with puppies was spread out caring for and helping raise pups my sister had gotten. Between raising puppies and trying to work with pets giving me a hard time during the course of my many dog sitting jobs I have seen and learnt countless things about our furry friends! To list a few; common dog and cat habits, nutrition, toxic foods for dogs, signs of aggressive body language in pets, and abnormal behavior alongside possible causes. Any and all pet needs such as sitting, walking, etc. I'm available to do every day of the week, as I have a clear schedule for the time being. When at a client's house, if instructions are not already given to me I will ask the owner's typical routine with their pet and see what they want or need done for their dog or cat. I'd Also ask general house rules like backyard access, and if I could entertain the fuzzy friends with toys for enrichment.
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 provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting their space, and I keep pet owners updated with regular check-ins.
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room!

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.

“Margaret & Tom always treat our boys great. Our Lab needed some medication while we were gone & Margaret went out of her way to run by our house and pick it up and administer it. Our boys were wonderfully taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were out of the State. Will leave them again and again in their care. 10/10 every time.”

“We brought our golden doodle with us to Snow hill and left her with Lisa while we attended Baseball games. Lisa has a fantastic yard and she took her for walks daily. Maddie seemed so happy and almost sad to leave. If we ever land in Snow Hill again, we will ask Lisa to watch out fur baby.”
“Thomas and Margaret were wonderful! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times and were communicative of how my pup was doing during his stay. I will definitely rebook with them in the future. :)”
“Kentrice took very good care of our 10.5 yr old basset hound, sent pictures and kept us updated. Our dog has separation anxiety and she seemed at ease with Kentrice. I would definitely recommend and will use her in the future if needed.”

“We were so pleased with the care Allison showed our fur babies. She kept in touch through messages and plenty of pictures to reassure us that they were doing great! I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies home away from home. We’ll definitely let our babies stay again.”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
