“Brianna was wonderful from start to finish…from our meet up for a meet and greet to when we picked up Ranger today! Brianna sent us updates with pictures and videos and was very responsive during Rangers entire stay! She even kept him longer for us when we had an unfortunate mishap at the end of our vacation. Thank you so much Brianna for caring for our boy - we will definitely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!!”
“Nina was great! She was very communicative and easy going. Nico seemed to have a great time and definitely got some good exercise! Would definitely let Nina keep Nico again!”
“Working with Megan was great overall. My dog had her own room and access to the backyard. Stella seem to get along well with Megan and her dogs. I was sent regular updates and lots of photos. I felt very reassured. The seller was getting the best treatment available. Thanks, Megan. Will be back for more.”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode. I knew that she was going to be in good hands and really enjoy someone taking care of my dog like they're part of the family. Loved the updates and pictures as well. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Ellie was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about dogs. A good home and yard for dogs. I feel very comfortable about taking Molly there for our next trip. I hope they are available the next time we need card for our elderly dog.”
“First time leaving my dog with anyone other than family so I was anxious to say the least. Thankfully, Ashley was agreeable to a meet and greet before my trip which helped put me at ease. During my trip, she text updates and pics of my girl regularly! This also put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away with friends!”
“Paisley watched our dog while we were in town for a wedding. She is a very caring person and truly loves taking care of dogs. Great communications and very convenient location for Winston Salem! 5 stars!”
“Natalie was fantastic! Jasper, our 12+ year old Westy , stayed with her for 12 days. She took great care of him ; attending to a problem with his joint issues and was up and down several nights being homesick!! One night she even took him out @230am when he was wining and homesick. With being several thousand miles away she eased our anxiety so we could enjoy our trip!!! Thanks to Natalie , her family and her own Kinley and Regan he truly had a “home away from home”!!! We’ll definitely choose Natalie again!!!”
“Xariyah blew me away!!! I was so nervous about leaving my baby because I just moved here and he's used to only my family watching him, but I had no other option than to find him a sitter. Xariyah will be his family from now on though because we will definitely be a regular! She treated my baby as if he was her own and he had such an amazing time with her and her kitty. She sent me constant updates and pictures and reassured me after he had a rough first day with anxiety away from me and he was back to his normal self by the next day. I'm beyond happy that I chose her and will definitely be using her again! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much Xariyah!”
“The sitters did an amazing job. They communicated regularly with photos to update us on our dogs well being. Our dogs got a little anxious being away for the first time with someone new and one of them stayed out in the living room all night to help them calm down.”
About: Hi there! I’m Hannah, a lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. If my calendar shows I am unavailable, please go ahead and send a request anyway. I am unable to block off time periods of the day, so while I may be busy in the morning, I may be free that evening, and vice versa. Please note that I am moving to Winston Salem at the end of July/beginning of August. Therefore, any requests sent before then, I may not be available for. Drop in visits/walks - I work from home M-F 8-5. I typically can do my drop-in visits in the early morning, on my lunch break, and evenings after work. I can be flexible, though if another time is needed. Just let me know! House sitting - House sitting is similar to my drop-in visits. Breakfast/potty in the morning, lunchtime potty break, and then I'll head to your home after work to spend the evening/overnight with your pet. Please note, I do have a dog of my own who would likely come with me in the evenings for overnight. She is crate/potty trained and always looking for a new friend to play with - even cats! (i have two cats of my own that she grew up with). If you would prefer my dog to not come, thats ok too. Please allow the flexibility to go back and forth to ensure she can potty as well. Boarding - As mentioned above, I do work from home. If you'd like your pet to stay at my home, I can ensure they have consistent, around-the-clock care. I do have a two-story home with baby gates throughout and four bedrooms. If you'd like your pet not to interact with mine, that can be arranged. I treat every pet like family—because they are! Whether your pet loves playtime, belly rubs, long walks, or quiet snuggles, I tailor every visit to their unique needs and personality. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and always attentive to your pet’s well-being. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and safe while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet & greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet! I am currently working full time and also a full time student. However, I got pretty lucky and do both fully remote which gives me the freedom to do other things such as pet sitting. If my calendar shows I am unavailable, please go ahead and send a request anyway. I am unable to block off time periods of the day, so while I may be busy in the morning, I may be free that evening, and vice versa. PLEASE NOTE **** I do have a dog of my own. If you are requesting a house sitting stay, please keep in mind that I will need to either come and go from your home to care for my own dog or have my dog with me during the house sitting stay. She is friendly with other dogs, cats, and is crate/potty trained. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as normal as possible—whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving medications, or making time for their favorite games and walks.
About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.
“We just moved to the area and needed a place for our dog to go while we were on a 10 day vacation. We found Catie and Luna had a wonderful time at her house! She loved playing with her dogs and the snuggles she got from Catie and her husband. We received lots of pictures of her while we were away. We will definitely be using Catie when we travel again.”
About: I had my first furry friend when I was 18 against my mom’s will and everyone knows how the story ends right?! Yes she was calling herself grandma after the first week. I’m married now and we have 2 kids, waffles and pancake, yes we love breakfast food. Playing and going for walks aside from giving them love is my skill, they are also here for one lifetime experience so they do deserve to get all the love that they give us. I am currently working full time but I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day, I’m mostly looking to help around the weekends or evening care after 5pm 7 days a week. We live in an apartment, our cat goes on walks once a day and I would be happy to care for your pet in your home as well.
“Georgie had a great time at Rachelle’s. She came home exhausted and happy. I loved the photos I received while I was away as well. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
About: As early as I can remember, I have had a connection to animals. Since then, I have surrounded myself with them, from dogs, to horses, cats, chickens, snakes- you name it! I have 15+ years of professional animal care experience, prioritizing animal welfare, top-quality care, and overall wellbeing. I am also a skilled animal behaviorist, currently pursuing certification with the IAABC. Additionally, I have competed with my personal dog in dog sports like FastCAT. I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication (oral or injectable), caring for behaviorally complicated dogs (separation anxiety, people reactivity, etc), or anything else your family member needs. PLEASE NOTE: I work full time, and I am out of the house during the following times: M-F: 7:30a-5:15p Sat & Sun: 6:30am-12pm Thanks for reading! Have a great day! I am currently most available on weekends, but can accept weekday care needs depending on your dog's needs. My available hours are as follows: M-F: 5am-7:30am, 5:15pm-8pm Sat-Sun: 5am-6:30am, 12pm-3pm I have a spacious fenced in backyard, and one very trustworthy and playful adult dog! Jinx is an absolutely wonderful teacher dog and friend. She gets along well with any dog, and will deliver fair, appropriate corrections if another dog is out of line. Your dog will have a new best friend and be treated like family in a clean, safe, and organized environment! When I am in your home, I am respectful, tidy, and I leave every space a bit better than I found it. I will follow your and your dog(s)' rules closely, ensuring a happy and low-stress time away for you!
“Ranger had a fantastic vacation with Morgan and PJ! Their little farm is a great place for active pups to have fun, and we received many pictures and funny anecdotes while he was there. Morgan is clearly an accomplished trainer, and even gave us a quick tip or two when we picked him up. Ranger almost didn't want to come home! Definitely will be a repeat client.”

“Hannah was AMAZING!! She dropped by to visit my cat while I was out of town and my cat loved her. Even with the cold and snow storms we got, she was dedicated and determined to come and take care of my cat. I truly don’t think anyone else would’ve had the drive to do that, and I would heavily recommend her to anyone that I know and will be using her again in the future!”
“Morgan is so helpful with visiting our cat, I really appreciate her attention and care for details during her visits. We’re glad our cat has a new friend in the area!”
About: I have always lived with people allergic to cats, so I have never been able to home a cat myself and relish any chance to care for the cats of others. I have taken care of neighbors cats over the years.
“Kirsten was great! She stepped in to help with some cat-sitting in a last-minute situation and was very responsive and kind. She took lots of pictures and videos and was able to get a shy, skittish cat to be playful and fun during the time she spent with her. Kirsten is obviously great at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone needed their dogs or cats watched. She is caring, attentive and communicative and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away!”
“This was my first time using Rover and am very pleased with the entire process. Maria was awesome with my Oliver who tends to be a bit shy with strangers. He warmed to her right away and it gave me great comfort knowing he was well taken care of while I was away. I appreciated the clear communication and that she arrived on time for the scheduled visits followed by a note and photos. I highly recommend Maria!”
“I booked Francis to walk my Scooby twice in one day and was very happy with her service! Scooby immediately loved Francis and enjoyed his walks. She is very responsive and accommodating and was super easy to work with. I’ll be booking again!”
“Reba used so much consideration and care when looking after my elderly cat. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of his temperament and needs and it made me feel so much better about leaving him for a week.”
“Kristy was the most perfect pet sitter for our kitty, Bear. This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been a better experience. After meeting with Kristy we knew it’d be a great fit and that was clear during her visits with Bear. We received detailed updates with each visit, along with pictures and videos. There was no doubt that Bear loved the check in visits with Kristy!”
“Roselynn was great to work with! She even managed to get a picture of my very shy cat. She is a great communicator and gave me updates every day. I look forward to having her pet sit my cat Ziggy again.”
About: I’ve had cats since my mid 20’s. My cats are my children. I’ve had friends over the years that tell me when they die they want to come back as a cat and I adopt them. I take great care of my cats. They are indoor only, see the vet regularly and have their immunizations. I can cut nails and have given meds; liquid and pill.
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”

“Tonja was great! I sent my Maltipoo for the first time today and everything went well. Tonja sent pictures and videos throughout the day and was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!”
“Karyssa and her family were communicative about pick-up, drop-off, and events during the daycare. Gumby had a great time hanging out with her family. We couldn’t recommend her more 🐶! 10/10 would do it again.”

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.
About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs while dog sitting, visiting local dog parks, and traveling with our dogs to pet friendly locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for boarding, dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I wake up early and go to bed around 9pm/10pm. I have one dog in the home who is very friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, and day/night boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good and safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard as well as a carport/porch area. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, that is no problem. There is plenty of space to take them around the yard for sniffs and potty, as well as walkable streets near our house, and a beautiful park with a walking trail less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" and come back, but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.
“Super job. Cassie loved it there and I didn’t have to worry about my baby! They are an awesome family and great environment. Gave great care and attention to Cassie.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”
“Our dogs Luna and Lehla had an amazing time. Both were very well cared for. We were sent pictures of them playing through out the day as well. Highly recommend booking her for your first babies!”
“Highly recommend! :) Nancy and her family reminded me of an extension of my own. This was my pups first day away from home and he had a blast! The safe yard, photo updates and designated puppy play room only add to the 5 star review.”
About: Hi, I’m Lisa! I am passionate about providing top-notch care for pets of all ages. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication, and a deep sense of responsibility, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets receive the attention they deserve. I can monitor your pet’s health and administer medications according to you or your veterinarian's instructions, while you’re away. My commitment to open communication—including regular updates with photos and videos—further distinguishes me as a trustworthy caregiver. Additionally, I believe in the importance of being well-educated and knowledgeable about different pet breeds and understanding their specific physical needs. My personalized approach and dedication to meeting the individual needs of each pet makes me an exceptional choice for pet owners seeking high-quality and attentive care for their furry friends. I specialize in caring for your pets on their schedules. So, whether you’re at work, and your pet just needs a potty break, or you’re out of town on vacation, you can be sure your fur babies are getting the best care and attention possible. As a caregiver, pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. It involves scheduled activities such as feeding, walking, and playtime, all tailored to the individual needs of each pet I'm responsible for. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners, providing them with updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any concerns that may arise. Ensuring that pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship is a consistent and important aspect of my routine. Having someone reliable, care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, has been shown to minimize stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client's home, there are several important aspects for me to consider: 1. ** Feeding and Watering:** Ensure that the pets are fed according to their schedule and dietary requirements. Provide fresh water at all times. 2. **Medications:** Administer any necessary medications as instructed by the client or veterinarian. 3. **Exercise:** Take the pets for regular walks or outdoor playtime to meet their exercise needs and provide mental stimulation. 4. **Toilet Breaks:** Let the pets out for bathroom breaks and clean up after them as needed. 5. **Play and Interaction:** Engage in interactive play sessions, provide toys, and offer companionship to prevent boredom and loneliness. 6. **Housekeeping:** Ensure the pet's living area is clean and tidy, including cleaning up any accidents or messes. 7. **Communication:** Maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any concerns that arise. 8. **Emergency Preparedness:** Be aware of emergency contacts, the location of the nearest veterinary clinic, and any specific instructions for emergencies. Every pet is unique, so it's crucial for me to follow the owner's instructions and cater to the specific needs and routines of each pet I am caring for.

About: I started taking care of the family dog a few years ago. With him, I administered medication in a positive way and helped train him. I am comfortable using a harness and a regular collar. I also helped train my senior dog on his reactivity with positive reinforcement. Currently, I am on summer break. I work as a teacher during the school year, so my availability for the next few months is open. At my apartment, my roommate’s dog I take out every 2-3 hours and I give him lots of cuddles. I keep an eye out for anything around me to make sure it is safe.
“Another wonderful walk for my little babe! Ashley sent me a picture and gave me regular up dates. So thankful she was able to walk my dog on such short notice! ”

About: Hi! I’m 25 years old and a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member needs a walk, a quick drop-in visit, overnight care, or extended sitting, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I currently have an Australian Shepherd mix and a pet bird, so I’m experienced with both dogs and exotic pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I’m also experienced and confident in administering medications, whether that means pills, liquid medications, or following specific care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. My friends, family, and previous clients consistently describe me as dependable, compassionate, and attentive.

I can’t wait to give them the same level of care and affection that I give my own! Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, so caring for additional pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I start and end each day caring for my own babies, an aussie mix and a quaker 🦜 making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. Because I’m already committed to a structured pet care routine, I’m able to easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight stays for my clients’ pets. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs extra playtime, a senior pet requiring medication, or a shy cat that just needs some quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care.

I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands.

Very flexible, reliable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend Natalie to other pet parents without hesitation.”

“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”
About: Hey there! My name is Delaney and I am the owner of Wild Iris Pet Sitting; a highly rating pet sitting company based in Fairbanks, Alaska. I recently relocated to Winston Salem and am excited to offer exceptional pet care services to the community! I have over 10 years of employed pet care experience as a pet sitter, veterinary assistant, and kennel attendant. I graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a Bachelors degree in biology and much of my coursework was animal/wildlife focused. I started my own business offering professional pet sitting in 2021 and it is now my full time job. I provide care for all types of critters from dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, reptiles, fish, chickens…you name it! My goal is to bring reliable, safe and quality care to pet owners in our community. There is no better way to travel than to travel with peace of mind knowing that your pet is comfortable at home with a trusted care giver. As a professional pet sitter, I take pet care very seriously and continue to educate myself on the most up to date standards of pet care. I am a member of Pet Sitters International (PSI) and have received certification through PSI as a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. I am certified in PetTech pet first aid & CPR training and am privately insured outside of Rover through Pet Sitter Associates. For more information, please visit my website by searching Wild Iris Pet Sitting on Google. Don’t forget to check out my 50+ five star reviews! I am a full-time pet sitter, meaning that I take care of multiple homes at once but also meaning I have a bit of flexibility to meet your pets needs. I also book outside of Rover through my website so my schedule can get busy. I recommended that new clients request drop-in pet sitting and dog walking services at least a week in advance. Animal welfare is one of my greatest passions. All animals in my care are treated with kindness and respect, as if they were one of my own. Comfort and safety is my top priority!
About: Taking care of pets has been apart of my life for many years. I love them! I have been boarding puppies and adult dogs for family and neighbors. I have breeded dogs and have sold many healthy puppies. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I am a pet owner myself. Pet walking is a every day thing for me and my dog I have one on one care for the pets they are in the home with me on the couch or floor.The pet is put on a leash for potty breaks. If I am boarding a pet the pet sleeps in a cage inside my home.

I would keep your fur baby’s safe while pet sitting/walking them no matter what. I will keep your dogs close when other dogs approach in case of a bad interaction.

About: Hi! I’m Maria, or Ria for short. I’m excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I've loved and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life—including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, crabs, fish, and farm animals. These days, my heart belongs to my sweet Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I live in Kernersville and work in Winston-Salem. I work from home and in the office, so my schedule for playtime, walks, and feedings is flexible. I am very active, so I can provide your pet with plenty of walks and playtime! I am comfortable with both large and small animals.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs for my friends and loved ones! I miss them while in school, and would love the opportunity to take care of your cutie! I am currently finishing up my degree and could use a joyful break. Would love to take your dog on a run/walk that’s already part of my routine. We can both get some wonderful sunlight and photosynthesize 🌸 I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly with all my neighbors having dogs, who at times get taken out for walks around our peaceful neighborhood.

“Brianna was wonderful from start to finish…from our meet up for a meet and greet to when we picked up Ranger today! Brianna sent us updates with pictures and videos and was very responsive during Rangers entire stay! She even kept him longer for us when we had an unfortunate mishap at the end of our vacation. Thank you so much Brianna for caring for our boy - we will definitely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!!”

“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kalyn! She was incredibly friendly, positive, and welcoming from the start. She asked thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and make sure she felt comfortable during her stay. We received plenty of updates, which gave us such peace of mind! She was also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Her joyful personality and genuine love for dogs really shine through. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Kalyn and will definitely book with her again!”
“We just moved to the area and needed a place for our dog to go while we were on a 10 day vacation. We found Catie and Luna had a wonderful time at her house! She loved playing with her dogs and the snuggles she got from Catie and her husband. We received lots of pictures of her while we were away. We will definitely be using Catie when we travel again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
