“My dog had a great time and I had some of the best communication from a dog sitter that I’ve ever had, peace of mind is important to me, your pet is in good hands with Caitlin!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Joseph & Destiny! I knew I’d made a great choice when I felt so confident and calm driving away after leaving Harper. I received regular pictures and updates, and it was clear that she was happy and content. She loved playing with Apollo and Milky! We will definitely use J&D the next time we travel!”
“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
“Our dog was well taken care of. He was not stressed when I picked him up. Larissa sent progress notes and photos everyday. I will definitely be using Larissa's services in the future!”
About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.
“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”
“Marcia was fantastic with my Finn. We met prior to booking, so I could see her setup and Finn could get a feel for his accommodations. Marcia was very reassuring, as I was nervous to leave Finn with someone new. She sent daily updates, including new photos every day, and it was obvious Finn was happy and comfortable. I would rebook with Marcia in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for anyone else in need of a sitter!”
“Overall great experience booking with Alexander! We left Sadie (6 year old German shepherd) in his care for 8 days and each day we received updates and pictures. I would definitely book with again in the future.”
“Ann was excellent with our Xena puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, she was communicative and thorough with instructions on routine. Xena got to make so many friends at her pet, Ricky's b-day party while we were away. It was obvious Xena was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Andrea updated me everyday about my pup and did an awesome just exercising him and letting him have fun! She was very flexible when I had a few last minute drop off/pick up time and date changes which greatly eased my stress. I will definitely book with her again next time I need a sitter in the New Bern area!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.
“KenLynn is always wonderful to work with! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive, she is the perfect choice!”
“Abigail and her family have been amazing with my 2 girls! She is super communicative and made sure she knew everything about the girls before the start date. The girls always come home happy and tired, and Abigail always sends pictures of all the fun they have. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our Pepper. She provided daily updates and photos, and it was apparent that Pepper was enjoying his time with her. We highly recommend Michelle”

About: I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care! I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was young. Your dog will get plenty of love, playtime, and a calm, safe environment while you’re gone.
“Bob and Jan did a wonderful job caring for our disabled dog, cats, bunnies and chickens. They were tidy, kind, communicative and thoughtful. I felt very relaxed with the animals in their hands. Highly recommend.”
“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“I never lose any sleep worrying about Yamini when Sharon is caring for her. She’s an excellent pet sitter and I highly recommend her. I am a repeat customer of hers.”
“Outstanding Cat Sitter — Above and Beyond! Rebekah was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Sadie and Bella! During the five days Rebekah cared for our girls, we received updates twice a day, always with great photos and videos. Every message was thoughtful and “newsy,” and Rebekah never hesitated to respond whenever we reached out, which gave us the total peace of mind everyone wants while out of town. One of our cats, Sadie, worked herself into such a state that she developed diarrhea even before we left. When we let Rebekah know, she suggested adding pumpkin to Sadie’s diet—and voilà! Problem solved. We were so impressed by Rebekah’s attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care for our cats. We came home to two happy, well‑cared‑for girls and couldn’t be more grateful. This was the first time we have used Rover or worked with Rebekah, but it absolutely won’t be the last. We highly recommend Rebekah and would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Second time having Robyn check on my cat. Always does a great job and leaves plenty of pictures. Happy to know my cat has a friendly person to care for her while I’m away”
“Thank you so much Christine! My babies were happy when we got home so that tells me that you gave them lots of care and love! ❤️ I appreciate YOU and will definitely book you again.”
“Took great care of my kitties, and even convinced my scaredy cats to come out and play! 10/10 highly recommend, will be requesting her anytime I need a sitter!”
“Angie was great! She was reliable, communicative, and took awesome care of our cat. I loved the updates and photos, and it was clear our little guy felt right at ease and well cared for. Much appreciated!”
“Tabitha was very timely and attentive to our cat "Chi". We appreciated the daily check-ins and the pics posted on-line with Rover.com. Tabitha also took the the time for a "meet'n'greet" with Chi prior to the booking. Thank you!”
“Tabitha worked her magic with my cats! She gave me peace of mind and my super scared cat came out for her every time and even let her give her meds. I will use Tabitha for all my pet sitting!!!”
“This is our second time having Cierra do drop-ins for our beloved, free roam house rabbits, Freya and Gus. She’s always super communicative, responsive, and takes such good care of our babies while we are gone. She’s always our first choice!”

“My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing! Lola loved her play date with Jessica’s fur baby, Peanut, and having some time out of the hot sun! Thanks Jessica, you are amazing! I’ll definitely hit you up next time we visit Emerald Isle!”

About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

About: Hi! I’m Kali. I’ve grown up around animals and have dogs of my own, so I understand how much love and care pets need. I’ve also taken care of cats and dogs for friends and families in their homes. Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, or quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to treat every pet like my own! 🐶🐱❤️ Free for overnight stays or whatever needs you have. I live in Fairfield Harbor and am willing to travel into New Bern if needed. I hope to give you peace of mind ! I love caring for pets and always make safety my top priority. I double-check leashes, gates, and routines so your pets stay happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. ❤️
“Highly recommend Kylie for doggie daycare. I sent my little Bean there as he didn’t have much experience with other dogs. And she has worked with him to get him more comfy. I feel very confident and comfortable leaving my baby under her care.”
About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I have taken care of old dogs, young dogs, and family dogs, multiple animals at one time. I have cared for cats and fish. I would like the opportunity to watch a chicken… I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to best care for your animals. I enjoy this gig as something fun on the side. I have a nice front and back yard. I have a cat ready to keep your animal on their toes! My house is certainly animal friendly- we can speak more about the specifications of your pets needs!

About: Hello! My name is Moe and I have had the pleasure of being around animals my entire life. From helping my parents with the many pets we have owned to watching my neighbor's and relative's animals, and even farm sitting, taking care of and loving animals has been an integral part of my life! I have job experience at a pet boutique that also provided grooming, daycare, and boarding services. I also have work experience as a dog walker in the metro Atlanta area, and love getting to interact with the various types of pets I come across. I have all of the skills and experience to make sure your beloved pet is treated and taken care of the exact way it needs! Pet care is worked in to my weekly routine by ensuring we get plenty of time together before and after my work shifts. I work as the Studio Manager for our local Wine & Design with work days usually being Tuesday-Saturday 10 am - 6 pm! With pet parent permission I am allowed to bring dogs in to work to spend the day with me as well! I do my best to incorporate plenty of enrichment such as play time or walks to ensure that the critters are expending their energy and not spending too much time wondering where their owners are!!

About: I am taking courses to be a certified vet assistant right now and this seems like a good way to work with more animals! I am experienced with animals that have anxiety, puppies, and seniors! I love all animals and am fairly flexible! I have 1 dog that lives with me full time that I have had since she was 8 weeks old and 2 dogs that I care for regularly as well! I’m fairly flexible on my schedule when it comes to sitting, dropping in, and walking! For house sitting, I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pets routine! I may leave throughout the day to run errands, go to class, or attend events but I will always ensure your pet receives the care and attention the need. If your pet requires a more constant-care schedule, please disclose those needs before we book! I am comfortable doing whatever is necessary for your animals unique needs. I want to make sure your animal is safe and cared for in your absence. For pet sitting in your home, I am able to get your mail, water plants, etc.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, beginning in early childhood and continuing into adulthood. I have owned dogs, cats, and horses since around the age of eight, which gave me an early understanding of daily pet care, animal behavior, and the responsibility required to keep pets healthy, safe, and happy. ***If you’d like a walk please book walking service otherwise I will just do a quick potty break and spend rest of time doing typical care*** In addition to personal pet ownership, I have gained hands-on experience dog and cat sitting for others. This has included caring for pets in their own homes as well as managing routines that differ from my own, such as specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and behavioral preferences. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience or reassurance. My pet-sitting responsibilities have often included daily walks, playtime️, feeding, administering medications as directed, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring they feel secure while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners and providing updates for peace of mind.
“Sharon has been awesome taking care of my little Charleston. Communication was great, always on time and showed a lot of love toward my fur baby! I will definitely work with her again!”
“Amazing! 😻. Early walk made it work for both of our schedules. Belle and Moose love her! She walked them almost two miles this morning at 5:30 am. Woo hoo! Great way to start the weekend!!”
“Robyn was timely, communicative, and very attentive to both my requests and concerns regarding my reactive dog. She has extensive knowledge of animals, and I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands during their visits. I really appreciated her professionalism, patience, and understanding.”
About: I been around animals my whole life. I work from home and can be available for all your pet needs. I have a large fenced in back yard! I work from home and hardly ever leave the house during the day. I take breaks throughout my work day to play in the yard with my dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I like play time in the back yard and walks around the neighborhood with the dogs.
About: Ive taken care of and loved dogs since I was very young. I’ve fostered dogs and helped train them as well as taken good care of senior dogs. If you will have me take care of your dog expect lots of funny pictures of your furry friend. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog and am willing to stay overnight as well if needed. I will walk your dog and take them to the beach or on other fun adventures with me. I will make sure that they enjoy their time with me.
About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.
“Tabitha did a wonderful job caring for Roscoe. He actually expected the "belly rubs" to continue upon my return home (LOL!). Now, I can travel with peace of mind knowing that Roscoe is in good hands.”
“Christine has been faithfully walking my girls twice a week for several months. She is reliable, kind and very attentive to my babies. My situation has changed and at this time I can no longer continue with ROVER. This is in no way a reflection of Christine. She has been like a God-mother to Shelby and Molly Shanna and they will miss her terribly.”
“I just moved to the area and was in need of an extra resource to help with my three dogs. Jason really came through in a pinch. He is professional, courteous and boy do my dogs LOVE him! I will certainly ask for his support again.”
About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.
About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
About: I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule. In my family, we have always had dogs from small to big. I have provided care for them and often watch after dogs for friends and family. Having a flexible schedule allows me to provide a lot of attention to your loved animal. I have a love for dogs and will enjoy spending time, playing with them and treat them as if they were one of my own. I am very active so dog walks/runs can be done as often as needed. I am happy to provide any other information you may need when looking for someone to look after your pet. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

“My dog had a great time and I had some of the best communication from a dog sitter that I’ve ever had, peace of mind is important to me, your pet is in good hands with Caitlin!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Joseph & Destiny! I knew I’d made a great choice when I felt so confident and calm driving away after leaving Harper. I received regular pictures and updates, and it was clear that she was happy and content. She loved playing with Apollo and Milky! We will definitely use J&D the next time we travel!”
“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
“Our dog was well taken care of. He was not stressed when I picked him up. Larissa sent progress notes and photos everyday. I will definitely be using Larissa's services in the future!”
About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.
“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”
“Marcia was fantastic with my Finn. We met prior to booking, so I could see her setup and Finn could get a feel for his accommodations. Marcia was very reassuring, as I was nervous to leave Finn with someone new. She sent daily updates, including new photos every day, and it was obvious Finn was happy and comfortable. I would rebook with Marcia in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for anyone else in need of a sitter!”
“Overall great experience booking with Alexander! We left Sadie (6 year old German shepherd) in his care for 8 days and each day we received updates and pictures. I would definitely book with again in the future.”
“Ann was excellent with our Xena puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, she was communicative and thorough with instructions on routine. Xena got to make so many friends at her pet, Ricky's b-day party while we were away. It was obvious Xena was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Andrea updated me everyday about my pup and did an awesome just exercising him and letting him have fun! She was very flexible when I had a few last minute drop off/pick up time and date changes which greatly eased my stress. I will definitely book with her again next time I need a sitter in the New Bern area!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.
“Abigail and her family have been amazing with my 2 girls! She is super communicative and made sure she knew everything about the girls before the start date. The girls always come home happy and tired, and Abigail always sends pictures of all the fun they have. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”
“Jessica was an amazing Sitter. She’s a great care of our Sheepadoodle. He loved being there she must update it on how he was doing and sent us lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for 10 years now and have gotten a good amount of experience. I am capable of handling all ages and have experience with special need cats and dogs. I also have experience with large aggressive dogs, dogs with excessive energy, and dogs that are very strong minded. I am not afraid of a challenge! I currently go to school, however I am free all of the rest of the day to spend time with your pet! this includes all day weekends and holidays I am very familiar with both cats and dogs as I have owned many in my life. I can work with both animals in early and late stages of life quite well. I have experience working with aggressive large dogs, and am not afraid of a strong willed pup.
“Olivia was amazing! We left our 7m kitten with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and well taken care of. He absolutely loved staying with her! He got along so well with her male cat and even had fun with her two kids. Olivia was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and we could tell our kitten was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
