Tiffany and Isis says thanks too for the fun. ?”
“Loved Morgan! She watched our three puppers while we were at the beach for a week. Our one dog has never been boarded before and the other 2 haven’t been boarded in a few years!

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!!”
“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”

Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”
“Ellie and Carson did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Uri! From the start, they were kind, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Uri with them. You can tell they truly love animals and treat them like family. They made sure Uri was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Uri up, he was excited and waiting at the door but yet he looked relaxed and content at the same time, which means everything to us as pet owners. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Uri was in such good hands. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely trust Ellie and Carson to watch Uri again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and caring dog sitters!”

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.
“Charlie came on somewhat last minute notice and apparently hit it off with Bear right away based on his pictures! She is communicative and very kind. I highly recommend Charlie!”
About: Your pets are family, and they deserve the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. I provide dependable, genuine pet care with a personal touch—treating every cat like they’re my own. I’ve cared for my 3 cats Bread, Tree and Toasty mama for a great long while. Simply put I enjoy animals and their company and little personality’s
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have cared for many different pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and turtles. I’ve rescued animals, cared for my own pets for many years, and have experience dog-sitting for different families. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care around my classes and work. I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and on days when I don’t have classes, and I’m happy to work with each owner to find a schedule that works best for their pet’s needs. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and follow their normal routine. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and other care based on each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and helping with daily pet care like feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: Hello, I have been around dogs, cats, chickens and horses my entire life. Animals are such a gift to us and they deserve special care. I will ensure lots of fun, love and care for your pet(s) during your time away. I look forward to caring for your furbabies. Exercise, games and positive reinforcement are my favorite methods of interaction with pets. I have had hens in the past and even taught my girls to play games like peek a boo and trained them to come when called. I currently have a six year old Mini Australian Shepherd named Patch and a one year old Havanese named Penny. They are a joy and definitely keeps me active. I believe in communication and will stay in touch during your time away with updates about your pets. I am retired and am available anytime to care for your pets. I am an avid animal lover and mini farmer. I have a degree in Horticulture and am an avid gardener. I have experience with dogs, cats, Horses, birds, fish, chickens. Out dogs are property limits trained and it helps that they love us so much they never want to leave us. We walk with harness & leash and play hide and seek in the back yard often. I will follow all my clients rules and keep your pets safe and secure.
“Carmyne was amazing. She followed directions very well. Pitbulls can get a bad rep but she definitely took a chance on my sweet baby. Good looking out. Hopefully he sees you soon.”

“She is a joy and my fur baby is obsessed with her Yorkie. I appreciate that she has experience with epileptic dogs. My dog has seizures and I trust her to care and comfort my dog as she goes through them. Thankfully she hasn’t had one under the care of Sanya. However, I trust Sanya, is what I’m trying to say. Thanks for all you do. Maggie loves you.”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and dogs are a big part of everyday life in our home. I have several dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the importance of making sure each dog receives the individual attention they need. I keep my boarding numbers limited because I want every dog staying with me to feel comfortable and cared for—not like they’re just one of many. My partner works from home, so someone is usually here throughout the day, and dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised potty breaks, playtime, sniffing, and time outside throughout the day. I also have a wooded area behind my house for hiking adventures! A typical stay may include walks, outdoor time, enrichment, play, rest breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to adjust the routine based on your dog’s normal schedule, personality, energy level, and comfort. Safety is always a priority in our home. I take introductions slowly, closely supervise interactions, and can keep boarding dogs separate from my personal dogs when needed. I understand that not every dog is immediately comfortable in a new place, so they’ll be given the time and space they need to settle in. I also have experience with dog training and enjoy providing dogs with structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement during their stay. Feel free to message me about your dog’s training needs and the individualized options that may be available! I know leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog receives thoughtful, personalized care and is treated like one of our own.
About: My family personally has never owned any pets for more than 3 years but I have close relatives and friends who have. I have been asked to dog walk, sit, board, bathe and so many other things that I actually genuinely enjoy. Im not saying im a dog whisper but I have found it very easy to get a long with almost any animal I have came in contact with. I love the easy connection you can make with an animal just in the first few minutes of meeting them. While the pay is definitely a plus I enjoy taking care hanging out with all sorts of pets and hopefully I will have the chance to meet yours! I am currently and online college student so most days my schedule is very open. My weekends tend to get a little busy but not until the summer time so I am usually very free then as well. I spend most of my time at home so your pet would be with me during the duration of whatever service is being provided, can always clear my day for any furball! While I do have an unfenced yard anytime the animal needs to be taken out I am willing to do multiple walks. My house is fair in size so they have plenty of room to roam and access to water and food unless their diet is specific. I will admit this is my first time doing this through an online service and taking care of the animal within my home ( if needed) but am excited to learn and allow for any accommodations that may need to be met.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats well over 40 years. This includes small and large animals of many breeds including young animals and also seniors with temperaments as well. I'm a dedicated animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats and other animals as well. I currently work from home so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and allow potty breaks as needed as well. I have a fenced back yard and two friendly animals (cat and dog) to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable while being cared for. I will also provide companionship, cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities and my goal is to treat every pet s if they were my own, giving their owners peace while away and knowing they will be in good hands.
About: I’ve spent more than 10 years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. Having cared for such a variety of animals has taught me that every pet has their own routine, boundaries, quirks, and way of communicating. I also have personal experience raising and training puppies of my own, including potty training and teaching basic commands and simple tricks. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m comfortable reinforcing the routines and training methods you already use at home so your pup has consistency while in my care. What sets me apart is that I’m comfortable with more than just the traditional furry family members. Whether your pet has paws, claws, scales, or a personality three times their size, I’m happy to learn their routine and provide patient, attentive care. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pets, so I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. 🐾 My weekday schedule is very open and flexible, with general availability from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and spending quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means an early morning potty break, midday walk, meals on schedule, or simply having someone around to keep them company. I’m currently focusing on weekday care and am not offering weekend services at this time. 🐾 Safety and comfort come first in my home or yours. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, and any household rules so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. At my home, I have a friendly 4-year-old Boxer mix, plenty of toys and blankets for playtime and snuggles, and access to crating when needed or preferred. I also have a large backyard; however, it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed or on an appropriate lead while outside. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your space. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in the environment they know best. 🐾
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
“This was my first experience with Rover.com for daycare for my dog, Rudy and it went great. He seemed to do well with Rebecca even with it being a new environment. Rebecca interacted with him very well at the greeting to get his comfort in going with her.”
About: I am a very loving and caring animal person. I'm all about an animals needs and ensuring they're safe, taken care of, and most importantly, having a great time! I've had a variety of pets my entire life and I can deal with a wide range of animals. I'm a fun, outgoing person so trips to the park or a stroll down the neighborhood is no problem (if your doggy can keep up that is ?). A lazy day in the house is also a definite. However, I'm very flexible to fit you and your pets needs and any guidelines will be taken seriously. I can accommodate almost any situation and I would love the opportunity to treat your furry child like it's my own! I am currently working from home full time as a social worker. I have plenty of time and love to support any pet and their needs. As of September 8th, 2026 I will be returning to the office during the day and fully available on the weekends! I currently live a house with a large, unfenced yard. I have four adorable rabbits! Previously a dog mama to my fur baby of 14 years. I am eager to meet whatever needs arise for pets and their owners.
“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!”
“Loren took wonderful care of my Shih Tzu, Charlie. She did a great job of introducing her 2 big dogs to little 10lb Charlie. Loren communicated with messages and pictures throughout the day. Charlie was worn out and happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Loren again when I need care for Charlie.”
“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: I have loved all animals since I was a small child. I have over 20+ years experience loving and caring for all types of animals. Nothing makes me happier than being around any type of animal. We live on 5 acres for your animal to enjoy! They will have the best time here. I can watch and take care of other animals besides dogs, so just let me know what you need. No need to worry about your schedule because I’m available pretty much anytime and will work with you! I can come to your home or you can come to mine. I definitely understand all animals have different needs and wants! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to love your pet! Lisa
About: Hello! My name is Katrina, I am an elementary school counselor currently saving up to buy a home! I have my own dog, Milo, a 4-year old lab mix but I have always loved dogs and have experience volunteering at service dog training facilities, shelters, and I have fostered dogs, as well! I have done dog walking and petsitting for multiple years now and have experience working with all types of dogs, small or large, reactive or non-reactive, all energy levels, and I love them all :) I will update you as much as you want on your pet when I am with him or her, I know it can be stressful to be away from them but I promise they are in good hands if they are with me! I currently work full-time so I am available after 4pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends! I am more than happy to work with your schedule. I have a large, fenced-in backyard and my own dog that loves to spend time outside. Please let me know whether your dog is more of an indoor/outdoor dog and how I can adjust the environment to fit his/her needs.
About: My lifetime dedication to animal behavior began at a young age, training everything from my childhood cats and birds to neighborhood dogs. By the time I was 12, I was already handling pet-sitting duties for family friends, which sparked an obsession with AKC dog shows and canine development. As a teenager, I successfully fostered three high-need rescue dogs, rehabilitating them and placing them into forever homes. When I finally received my first dog, Omega—a brilliant Standard Poodle who lived to be 14—I trained him from scratch in everything from advanced stays to agility pole jumping. To back this natural passion with formal education, I completed three years at Virginia Tech, majoring in Animal & Poultry Science (Companion Animal Track). Through my intensive collegiate lab work, I gained hands-on experience with multiple species and mastered advanced animal husbandry, livestock handling, anatomy, and medical administration protocols (including multiple injection methods). This rigorous science background transitions directly into my capability as a handler. My daily life revolves around the development of working lines and guardian breeds. I specialize in basic and advanced obedience, loose-leash positioning, and structured boundaries. I am actively developing my very first personal sport prospect, hand-feeding for precision obedience. I recently whelped and successfully raised a healthy, large working cross litter of 10 puppies, and I am now offering my training services through my rover profile. What to Expect During Their Stay: Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete needing structured mental outlets, a powerful guardian breed requiring a confident leader, or a companion needing precise medical administration, they will receive elite, customized care. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will be integrated into a clean, highly supervised routine that respects their existing household rules. I offer premium House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and structured Day Care. Space is intentionally kept small to ensure safety, calm boundaries, and individualized attention. Leaving your companion is never easy—trust me, I practice the same care I expect for my own animals. With me, you can have total peace of mind that your dog is in the hands of a dedicated, professional handler. Contact me today to secure your route or schedule a meet-and-greet! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent, round-the-clock supervision for your companion. My remote work schedule operates on a split-shift structure: Mon, Tue, & alternating Fri/Sat: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM & 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM Wed & Thu: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM & 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM Sundays: Completely off and dedicated 100% to canine care. Because I work directly from my home office, your dog will enjoy a highly supervised, safe environment with a dedicated handler present at all times. My shift gaps are dedicated entirely to outdoor potty breaks, enrichment, and hands-on interaction. My ultimate professional milestone is transitioning to full-time canine management under my OZN Olympian K9 brand, meaning your pet receives the highest level of focused, attentive care I operate on a spacious one-acre property featuring a massive yard bordered by clean stone landmarks. Safety is my absolute priority, which is why all yard time is strictly supervised by me personally. Dogs with verified, bulletproof off-leash recall are permitted to utilize the full property line. For companions still developing their foundations, I utilize a professional 30-foot training long-line, allowing them total freedom to run and explore safely without any risk of escape. Inside my home, I offer a highly versatile, stress-free environment tailored to your dog's specific social needs. I can accommodate social dogs who thrive around other animals, as well as dogs requiring complete separation. If your companion prefers individual space, my personal dogs can be securely rotated to my upper level, and my current puppy prospects are trained to settle quietly in their crates. This leaves my entire downstairs area or my private home office completely open for your dog to relax in. I have multiple heavy-duty, large crates on hand to assist dogs who need a secure, cozy boundary to settle in a new environment. When providing care inside your home for house-sitting or drop-in visits, I maintain that exact same elite standard of structure and safety. I treat your property with the utmost respect, keeping your home clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. While under my care on your property, your dog will follow a precise, customized routine—maintaining their existing house rules, feeding schedules, and crate habits—so they feel completely secure in their own familiar environment. Every dog under my roof receives a deeply enriching routine where I reinforce good canine manners daily, backed by regular text, photo, and video updates!
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.
“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”
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”
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.

Throughout the day I make time for walks in my neighborhood, outdoor play in my fenced-in backyard, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention and companionship. I plan my day around making sure the pets I’m watching are comfortable, exercised, and cared for. On a weekly basis, I maintain a consistent routine so pets have structure, including regular walks, playtime, and relaxation time, helping them feel safe and at home while their owners are away. 🐶🌿 I have a big fenced in backyard with a dog house and heaters and ac when it’s hot out there. A good neighborhood to walk in and also dog crates that rage from small to large if needed for your dog!! I have 2 dogs myself(yorkie and golden doodle) Both good with other dogs!! If needed to put away they can be.
“Elise was great with our dog and super responsive throughout planning and while caring for her! She kept us updated with lots of pics and was willing to come visit beforehand to go over care instructions. Would recommend!”

This is something that will feel natural and mesh well with my life. I will not be able to care for the dogs at my own home due to my childhood dog living there and jealousy/protectiveness being one of his main traits. Although the clients home would be perfect for me. I like to keep dogs on their everyday routine. For example, letting them out typically whenever they usually go outside. Feeding them around the same time the owners do. I am younger so I love to run around with the dogs. I will play with all of their toys with them. I can also chill out, lay down, and pet the dog!

“This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!”

If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
