We have already scheduled her for the next time. Thank-you Caitlin for your loving kindness & care for animals. We appreciate you ♥️”

Thank you, LaJuan!”
About: I have always loved animals but have been caring for my own dogs for the past 10 years and have experience with both puppies and adult dogs. I’ve also helped friends and family with drop-in visits, feeding, walks, and playtime. Dogs have always seemed to warm up to me quickly, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ll care for your pet with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I’m currently off for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have no upcoming travel or vacations planned, which allows me to fully commit to pet care visits, walks, and overnight care as needed. I’m able to adjust my routine around the needs of each pet to make sure they get consistent attention and care. In a client’s home, I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. That usually means meals on time, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention (and belly rubs if they’re into that). I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and just go at your pet’s pace. My goal is to keep things calm, consistent, and loving so they feel safe while you’re away.
About: I understand the nuance in cat care and have a deep understanding of cats and their behavior. I don’t underestimate the importance of boundaries and the time it takes to build trust with cats. I love cats of all personalities , sweet and cuddly, independent and shy. I uniquely tailor the way I care for cats to suit all different personalities. I’ve seen how important routines are for cats and make sure to not stray from their regular schedule while their owner is away.
About: I grew up with cats of my own. My neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their cats while they are away. I hope to expand my services and provide the best care for your cats and treat them as my own.
“Christina D. provided an outstanding cat sitting and house sitting service for us through Rover.com, and we couldn't be happier with her care for our beloved feline friend. We entrusted her with the task of looking after our cat for three days and two nights, and she exceeded all our expectations. Christina went above and beyond to ensure our cat's well-being and comfort. She diligently followed our feeding schedule, making sure our cat was fed approximately every three hours throughout the day. Her commitment to our pet's routine was truly remarkable, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was well taken care of in our absence. Moreover, Christina's compassionate approach ensured that our cat never felt lonely during our time away. She provided companionship and attention, keeping our pet happy and content throughout the duration of her stay. Her genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction, and it's clear that she takes great pride in her role as a pet caregiver. In addition to her exceptional pet care skills, Christina was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She was understanding of our schedule and made adjustments to ensure that our cat's needs were always met. Furthermore, she kept us updated with regular photo updates, allowing us to stay connected with our furry friend and enjoy our special occasion in another state stress-free. Overall, we cannot recommend Christina D. highly enough for her outstanding cat sitting and house sitting services. She is a true professional with a genuine passion for animals, and we wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with our pet care needs in the future. Thank you, Christina, for your dedication, reliability, and exceptional care!”

“Nicole was great! Came to meet the dog the day before leaving so she was well aware of what was needed and to ensure she met Kallie! I got some great pictures and updates while she visited which was greatly appreciated”
About: I have spent years taking care of my neighbors three cats prior to moving to Mooresville. My neighbors had 3 cats-2 indoor and 1 outdoor (all different breeds)-that I would visit every morning and night to feed, play with, and clean out the litter box. All three cats had different personalities, which I was able to quickly adapt to! The outdoor cat was very shy at first, but I gained his trust quickly and he began to become as comfortable with me as he was with his owners!
“Natalie was absolutely fantastic with my 4 cats! She provided daily pictures and updates, and is great with communication. She goes above and beyond. I will definitely be rebooking her!”
“Emily was reliable, communicative, and patient while taking care of my senior pup. Buckshot is very picky about the people he let's close, but took to her quickly. Typically he gets anxious when I'm on extended work trips, but this time he was smiling in every picture Emily sent! 10/10”

“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”
“My pup had the best time with Nancy, Coffee & family. The fenced in yard was great for her to run around off leash & I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie in Nancy’s care. Winnie played fetch & even received a special treat. Nancy’s family is very friendly & Winnie is excited about her next visit!! Well.. after her long nap! Haha.”

“Erin was great - we dropped 2 standard poodles off for the afternoon/evening while we went to spend Thanksgiving with family. The dogs came home happy and tired!

Thanks Erin for tiring out two very active dogs.”

About: I love dogs and what they bring to our life! Your pup will hang out with a friendly and energetic 5-year old Golden Retriever, his name is Tango and he is great with other dogs! We have a large fenced in yard and we spend lots of time playing ball and chasing squirrels. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I only host one family at a time to make sure I give plenty of attention. I live in a neighborhood with lots of pet friendly walking areas. I have a large fenced in yard and pups are welcome in all living spaces at the house. They are allowed in beds and couches. If your pup is used to sleep in a crate, please bring it with you! For the safety of Tango and other dogs I do require a copy of vaccine records as well as flea, tick and heartworm preventive all being up-to-date.

“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog during several daytime visits. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and straightforward. She was also extremely accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and reassured every step of the way. It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”
About: Hello! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and one cat. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I have fostered numerous dogs of all sizes and ages. My specialty is medium to large, active dogs who need exercise. I enjoy running and hiking, so if you have a dog who needs outdoor time, please contact me! I also have experience with sick animals who need special care. I have nursed several dogs back to health, including fosters and the strays who find me. I'm available to visit your home for your pet's needs, to feed, walk, administer medication, as well as provide transportation to vet appointments. Our house has extra rooms to board and babysit pets. There is plenty of space in our yard and neighborhood for walks, running, and playtime. I'm excited to meet you and your pet to see how I can be there for you! I'm a stay-at-home mom to three older/independent kids and a baby. I am looking forward to getting out of the house to walk your dogs, provide drop-in care, and/or dogsitting and boarding at my home. I have worked with rescue dogs with violent backgrounds or stress from the shelter. I can read their body language and make sure they are comfortable with me and our environment. Your dog will stay on a leash unless we are in a fenced area. My backyard is fenced in, and I have a finished basement with kennels if your dog needs a quiet place. My two dogs are very friendly, so if your dog is interested in playing, they will be introduced. My dogs are up-to-date on their vaccines.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Nice to meet you (and your fur babies)! A little background info on me: I've grown up with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses, rabbits, and peacocks and have loved to care for them. Although my background is with a variety of animals, dogs are my specialty! 🐾💜 I treat each and every pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re well taken care for, whether that means walking, play-time, feeding, enrichment, etc. I'm a current pet owner of two sweet dogs and one purr-fect cat. I’ve volunteered for years at rescues and shelters and have experience needed for any specific breed. I've fostered puppies and senior dogs until I myself became a foster fail (we adopted our foster)! I work a remote schedule so I can be flexible with days/hours if I have enough notice to care for your babies! I do not commit to specific time, but rather a time range. Short notice is possible, but I prefer at least a few days notice in advance :) I offer an approach that matches your pet’s energy. If your pet is playful, we will play. If your pet is shy & nervous, my approach will be more reserved and mindful of their boundaries.
About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.
About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA, currently an active volunteer for Angels To The Animals & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! They have their own bedroom, closet, dresser, mountains of toys, and an abundance of clothes/accessories. I truly do work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00 however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.

I'll prioritize the safety and well-being of your furry friends in the following ways: 1. Customized Care: Each dog is unique, and I'll tailor my care to their specific needs. Whether it's a leisurely stroll, an energetic playtime, or a more relaxed outing, I'll adapt to what suits your dog best. 2. Leash Control: I'm vigilant about maintaining control over the leash during walks to ensure your dog's safety. This includes using appropriate harnesses or collars and avoiding potential hazards. 3. Environment Awareness: I'll be attentive to the surroundings, avoiding busy roads, crowded areas, or other potential dangers during our walks. Safety is my top priority. 4. Proper Restraint: If necessary, I'll securely restrain your dog when interacting with other dogs to prevent any unexpected incidents. 5. Weather Considerations: I'll take weather conditions into account, making sure your dog is comfortable and safe from extreme heat, cold, or inclement weather. 6.

“The best judge of character is Blu and he really liked Liz. She is friendly, prompt, professional and kept us updated on how Blu was & with pictures.”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I have 6 labrador retrievers and have experience in breeding, training, and caring for puppies. I am also experienced in providing special needs care including meds, shots, and injury care. My schedule is very flexible. I am currently available throughout the day. I am also currently a student at Appalachian State University and have the free time to provide care for your pets. I always try my best to accommodate pets' routines. I like to make sure that both cats and dogs are comfortable, happy, and safe in the client's home while I am providing care.
“I cannot recommend Aaliyah enough! She is truly the best dog walker and pet sitter I could ask for. I never have any concerns when she's watching my pets because I know they are in amazing hands. What really sets Aaliyah apart is how much she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. She always takes extra time to spend with them, and my dog Blue is absolutely obsessed with her. She does so much more than just walk him. She helps trim his nails, brushes him, works on fun activities and training, and even does adorable little photo shoots with costumes she brings herself. Whether she's teaching Blue agility skills or just making him feel loved with a silly dress-up session, she always goes above and beyond. It's such a relief knowing that Blue isn't just getting exercise—he's getting enrichment, attention, and lots of love. Aaliyah treats him like one of her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend her! And on top of everything she always makes sure to give love to my two cats even though she usually just there for Blue :)”

About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’m passionate about animals! We are available for daily stays during your vacation, summer stays, week days, etc. I’ve been pet-sitting for over 10 years, and it’s been a wonderful way for me to combine my love of animals with a flexible schedule. I started when I began working remotely, and I’ve had extensive experience with both in-home pet sitting and dog walking. I know how hard it can be for pets and their owners when they’re apart, so I always strive to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Keeping your pets active and entertained is one of my top priorities, whether it's a fun walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your animals during the day. Plus, my fiancé , Jeremy, assists me with my services. Jeremy works full-time remotely in IT, which allows him to help with pet sitting and walking whenever needed. This means your pets will receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day.

I'm also available to check in or stay with your animals while you are in town for vacation and need coverage for a few hours. Their safety is my top priority while you are away. I keep a good eye on them and don't like to by physically away from them for long as I know it can be a hard transition sometimes.
About: I have always had a love of dogs! My first dog was a beagle and my current dog is a lab. I am missing my dog as she is in Ohio with my parents, which is why I would love the opportunity to spend more time with dogs! I used to walk dogs in college and I think it is a great hobby to get a walk in with a furry friend. I currently work full time on the weekends and every other Monday, but I am available Tuesdays-Thursdays early morning until 6pm. I would love the opportunity to knock out an outdoor exercise and spending time with a cute dog! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness! I always make sure to keep my lab entertained and can tell when she needs water or food just by looking at her!

During visits, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, administer basic medications if needed, take dogs on walks, play with them, give plenty of affection, clean up after them, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m committed to making them feel happy and comfortable. I’m currently a full-time student at UNC Charlotte, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, on weekends, and during many holidays and school breaks. I’m organized, responsible, and quick to communicate, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can travel or work with confidence, knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am currently a student at UNC Charlotte but I have a flexible schedule. I would love to work with you to set a weekly schedule for walking your pup! Or even work with you to on deciding a walking/feeding schedule whenever you take a vacation! While I am not able to care for your pup in my own home, I understand the importance of respecting your space and ensuring that your pup is happy and healthy!
About: Since I can remember, my family always had pets and we loved rescuing and caring for animals. The most pets I’ve had at once was 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 turtles in my household and I loved it. Now my partner and I have 1 dog and 2 cats and we love our furry babies 💛 My husband and I are always available full time for your pet sitter needs for boarding or just watching your fur babies for a few hours. We have a large yard with plenty of space to run and do their business. We have 1 dog and 2 cats who love friends and company. My dog is trained and loves to have fun! I have crates and plenty of rooms if needed.
About: I’ve spent my lifetime taking care of dogs. I grew up owning dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the local humane society. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. At home, I have a 3 year old pit bull mix and a tiny 14 year old cockapoo. I’ve cared for puppies and young dogs, training them to walk nicely on a leash, ring a bell to go outside, and do simple tricks like sit, lay down, shake, and more. I enjoy spending time with animals and developing tailored care for all personalities. I work Wednesday’s and Thursday’s 8-4pm, but I am open all other days and hours outside of that. I’m available for drop ins, overnights, and for walks. It depends on the pets and their specific needs. I work with the owner making sure that the expectations are met and each pet gets the personalized care they need.
About: I have experience walking and caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just needs company and care, I’m happy to help. I’m available on weekdays (Monday–Friday) from early morning until late afternoon, 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with flexibility to work some weekends 10am-3pm Saturdays and Sundays. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
About: Pet care is my full time job, so I have open availability! I am also a proud owner of a fully trained German Shepard. I’m open to doing dog walking/playtime, day sitting and overnights! I’m a full time student graduating in criminal justice with bachelor degree this coming summer 2027 who is responsible and dependable. All prices are negotiable depending on the needs. I’ve been a pet lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. I’m 22 yrs old now and a proud owner of a 5 yr old German Shepherd who is fully trained. I believe all animals deserve one on one attention, care, & Love. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are met first. Along with assuring each pet is happy and are enjoying their time with me. So much that I want them to be excited with just hearing my name. Whether in my home or at a clients home I follow any specific care instructions, maintain a clean space and provide consistent attentions, love and care to help pets feel safe and happy in my presence.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have such a love for them. I know that dogs are more than just pets-they are part of the family! My family has had basset hounds for my whole life, so I have seen and loved them at every stage of life. I’ve done my share of dog care for them, including walking, feeding, giving medicine, ear-care, and brushing fur (my dog’s personal favorite)! I have also taken care of friends’ dogs, ranging all sizes and ages, when they have been out of town as well! I’m currently a teacher on summer break so I have a pretty open schedule! I can be very flexible with what times I am needed and if you need me to be very specific at the times I take care of your pets I will absolutely do that-I know lots of doggos need or get used to certain times for care! If you let me know what areas for walking are at your home, I am happy to follow whatever route you normally go on or would like for them to-same if you have a neighborhood dog park! I’m very active so I’m happy to walk/run with them as far as they need! If you need assistance with my giving them food and/or medicine, just let me know where it is and how much to give and I am happy to do that!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young. I’ve taken cats, dogs, hamsters. I’ve taken care of sick ones too that needed medicine 4 times a day so I can wake up at anything for pets that need medication. I love pets and will not be taking class nor working so I will be 24/7 free for animals so I will give lots love. I have a fence in my house :) I will be playing with the pets or giving them space and I will also take them out for walks and go to the park! My schedule at the moment is pick and choose so I am able to accommodate around your schedule and needs. This means I can be there at any time and for however long you need me. I spend my whole day with your pets. I usually do homework on my computer or watch tv near your pets, so they are supervised at all times. I exercise so I will let them go on multiple walks regularly. I would obviously give them attention and let them out when they please.
About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 12 years old. My entire family has been dog lovers since before I can even remember. I began caring for dogs as a hobby and eventually began to receive payment for it as people started to recommend me to their friends and family. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve, especially dogs. They are the sweetest, most loving features there are. Caring for your pet, makes him a part of my family. I will always put your pet first. Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, must have never had a dog because no one can understand you more than your pet who you have grown to love and adore.
About: I have been around dogs of all ages and sizes for over 20 years. I’ve always had my own dogs/other pets and can provide care for other pets besides dogs too! I own an horse and have experience with large animals, as well as small animals such as birds, reptiles, fish, etc. My schedule is also very flexible! I am more than happy to go out for walks and provide extra exercise for high energy dogs. I can administer medications if needed and I am comfortable with any type of pet. My services include dog walking, daily check-ins, and other needs upon request. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs! Weekdays are open for me as are weekends, and I keep my calendar updated so my schedule is transparent. For walking and/or check-in’s I always make sure I stay for at least a half hour to provide your pet with adequate socialization and time to expend some energy.
