“My doggie had his first vacation with Bre and her pack and we were thoroughly pleased. She sends pictures and gives great feedback so you know what’s going on with your pup! We’ll definitely visit again ?”
“We love Andrea-we use her everytime we go out of town and our pups love going over there!! This time we needed to extend our trip and she was so accommodating and happy to keep them longer. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I love dogs and will care for them and love them like they are part of our family! They will get plenty of potty breaks and we will go for walks. There will be play time and plenty of cuddles! Monday through Thursday I work outside the home so bathroom breaks would be in the morning, evening and nighttime. Walks and play time would be in the evening as well. Friday through Sunday I am more available to spend time playing and cuddling with your pet. My yard is not fenced in so pets will be taken out on a leash for bathroom breaks and walks. Pets are welcome to lay on the furniture and sleep on a comfy bed. If you prefer for your pet to be crated at night or during the day when I’m at work, that can be accommodated.

“Channon was so great. We left our 75 lb Pyrenees mix with Channon for two nights. Channon's dog Bizzy was the perfect playmate for our pup! 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!!”

Nina is experienced and knowledgeable, friendly and a consistent communicator (she sent me pictures and updates daily!)! We arrived home to find each cat healthy and happy to see us! I will call on Nina again, and if you're looking for a great experience, you should to!”
About: I have had pet cats since I was a child. While I love all animals, cats hold a special place in my heart. I find them to be calming, curious and playful souls who fill my home with joy. It’s important to me to have reliable sitters when I am away. I’d like to provide that service to others as well.
“Summer is great! She was so flexible with me when booking and was great with Lilo. She even brought in a few packages that came. I will be using her in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have experience giving oral medication, injections (insulin) & IVs under the skin. My Layla passed away in 2017 from encephalitis and she had to get IVs every day on top of other things. We got Bruce in 2018 & Rocky in 2019. They are two peas in a pod..I call them Batman & Robin. They are great with other dogs as my husband and I have had many different breeds and sizes at our home. If your fur baby gets dirty playing in the yard, we will give the a bath (with your permission of course). They will go on daily walks, have a lot of play time since I work from home and I will make sure to send you photos and updates throughout their stay. Communication is extremely important to me. We look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! I am a real estate professional and run a team here in the Triad. I work from home and have the time to care for your fur baby as a majority of my work is from my computer. Rocky and Bruce love having new playmates over as well and we have a large yard for them to run around in 😊 We have a large fenced-in back yard and a deck for them to lounge on. I never let other people’s dogs stay outside unsupervised. If they are outside, I am outside. It’s an extra step of care that is super important to me because sometimes, animals can be unpredictable, see a squirrel or a rabbit and jump the fence etc. We ensure your fur baby is safe.
“Megan and Ryan house sat for us - they watched our three cats, and were even cool enough to tend our guinea fowl and chickens! We were away about four days. Megan send photo updates, noticed and asked about anything that looked concerning, and the house was well-kept on our return!”
“Lexie was great! She was really accommodating for a late-night potty break and followed all the directions perfectly. I appreciated her reliability and care with my two fur babies. Communication was above & beyond. I would definitely book again!”
About: I've been around cats my whole life and have always loved caring for them.

He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”

About: 3. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, and tailor my care accordingly. I also prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure that they are updated and informed about their pet's well-being while under my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe space to stay in. I provide them with food, water, and toys, and take them on regular walks or playtime. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routines and schedules as closely as possible and make sure to provide them with the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule enough time to feed, walk, play with, and care for pets.
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.
About: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. We both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life but only sitting for 2 years! I love animals and am always looking forward to learning more.

Either myself or my husband is home around 4 pm to let the dogs out. They are fed dinner at 5 pm and usually spend the evening playing together with my children.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I've always been comfortable caring for animals. For about the past 10 years, I've helped care for pets for other families. I'm dependable, patient, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own. I recently graduated from NC State in May and don't start my full-time job until mid-August, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I'm available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily work around your pet's routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal routine. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise or playtime, and lots of affection. I also respect your home, keep things clean, and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Lexie was so great with Brinkley. She spent a lot of time with her and gave her lots of attention. She was really accommodating with the specifics of walking her and even took her to Brinkleys favorite park!

Brinkley can’t wait to walk with Lexie again 🐶”

He's a lover boy to the extreme. I have a large backyard with some wooded area and also live in a peaceful neighborhood to go on doggy walks.

About: MAURED48651 enter this code for $20 off your first booking Hey everyone my name is Maureen and I'm a full-time stay-at-home doggie mom.

About: I am an animal lover at heart and currently own rats, tropical fish, and an angora rabbit. I have 15 years of experience pet walking and sitting. Throughout the years I've had many pets ranging from cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small pets, and am comfortable giving medication as needed. Fostering has also been a part of my life, so pets with special needs are no problem! I am comfortable around pretty much any animal, so send me a message and we'll see how I can help! Afternoons and evenings work best for pet care -walking, playing, giving medication, etc., as I have an online business that I focus on in the mornings. Multi-day care is an option, but being married, overnights will need to be discussed. I'm very comfortable handling all size animals, from small mice up to great danes. Every animal is different, so we move at their speed and comfort levels - if they're excitable with lots of energy, we can do lots of walks and playtime. If they're more laid back and just like someone to be around, I can bring a book or knitting project for a gentle hangout.
About: Hi, I’m Ashton… full-time teacher/extra full-time animal enthusiast, and your pet’s soon-to-be favorite human (other than you, of course)! I’ve been pet sitting on Rover since 2021, but I’ve been the go-to “Can you watch my dog/cat/goat?” friend for over a decade. I’ve cared for everything from purse-sized pups to dogs the size of small horses, plus cats, guinea pigs, and yes… actual goats. When I’m not shaping young minds in the classroom, I’m happily spoiling pets like they’re my own — walks, snuggles, playtime, belly rubs, and enough photo updates to make your camera roll jealous. Pet sitting is a family affair for me: my husband occasionally joins in, and my 13-year-old daughter (aka the animal whisperer) is my secret weapon for winning over even the shyest pets. Please note if you do not prefer that I include my family during visits, that is not a problem and individual care will be arranged! The goal is to make you and most importantly your pet(s) feel safe and comfortable! If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals — with a little humor sprinkled in — I’d love to make sure your furry (or feathered, or hooved) family member feels safe, loved, and downright pampered while you’re away. Because I’m a full-time teacher, my schedule is a little unique, but I make it work in a way that keeps your pets happy and cared for without feeling rushed. • Weekends: This is when my calendar is the most open! I’m available most Saturdays and Sundays for drop-in visits throughout the day — morning, afternoon, and evening. • Weekdays (Mon–Fri): My time is more limited due to my teaching schedule. I’m available early in the morning before work and again in the late afternoon/evening after school. To make sure I can be on time and give your pets the attention they deserve, I can only accept weekday visits for clients who are in close proximity to me. Because of my schedule, I currently only offer drop-in visits — no overnights or extended stays. This way, I can give your pets the focused care they need without overcommitting. Drop-ins are perfect for feeding, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of love while you’re away. Even with my teaching career, pet care is a big part of my life. I take it seriously (while still having fun with your pets), and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved until you get home. When you share instructions for your pet’s care, I follow them closely — after all, you know your pet best. I provide detailed updates after each visit (with plenty of pictures!) so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m happy to walk your pet around the yard or through the neighborhood, provide playtime if that’s what they enjoy, and crate them in the morning or at night if that’s part of their routine. My goal is simple: give you complete peace of mind while providing your pet with the same level of love, attention, and care they get from you.
About: Hello all! My name is Melissa and I've been working with animals most of my life and have so loved being able to do so! On top of being a pet owner all my life, I've been an avid horseback rider which meant I was always barn sitting and pet sitting from a young age. I've cared for up to 20 horses and 6 dogs at one time, so no dog is too big :) I've worked with many sizes, breeds and personalities in dogs and I take a personalized approach when it comes to pet care. I have two of my own dogs, Oakley and Theo.If you're looking for an active household, we're definitely it! We spend most of our time on our farm and work from home part of the week. Pets have always been family to us and your pets would be treated and loved just like ours. Ask me about multi dog discounts or other pricing concerns! I have a hybrid work schedule, working from home part of the week. This gives me some flexibility for pet care during the week and on the weekends! We only keep one pet/one family’s pets at a time. We live on a quiet road with tons of space to safely run and play

“My doggie had his first vacation with Bre and her pack and we were thoroughly pleased. She sends pictures and gives great feedback so you know what’s going on with your pup! We’ll definitely visit again ?”
“We love Andrea-we use her everytime we go out of town and our pups love going over there!! This time we needed to extend our trip and she was so accommodating and happy to keep them longer. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I love dogs and will care for them and love them like they are part of our family! They will get plenty of potty breaks and we will go for walks. There will be play time and plenty of cuddles! Monday through Thursday I work outside the home so bathroom breaks would be in the morning, evening and nighttime. Walks and play time would be in the evening as well. Friday through Sunday I am more available to spend time playing and cuddling with your pet. My yard is not fenced in so pets will be taken out on a leash for bathroom breaks and walks. Pets are welcome to lay on the furniture and sleep on a comfy bed. If you prefer for your pet to be crated at night or during the day when I’m at work, that can be accommodated.
“Tim and Samantha were wonderful. They took such good care of my dog treating her like their own family. Very kind and kept me updated with pictures during her stay. I will definitely use them again!”
“Talia & Austin took excellent care of Kobe. They gave me daily updates and send pictures. There dogs were extremely welcoming to Kobe and he even made a new best friend, Willow :)”
“Morgan is amazing!! She did not bat an eyelash when I requested her pet sitting services on short notice for my GSD. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors and I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Duncan said he cannot wait to go see her again! 😂. Thank you so much, Morgan!!! 🥰”
“Thank you for taking care of Cleo! You can tell that Jessica is very attentive to the pets she takes care of. She returned all of the items we sent her with and they all came back cleaned! Very amazed. Definitely recommend to book with her and we will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Maribel kept my girl for eight days while I was on a work trip. It is so nice to not have to worry about your fur babies when they’re in her care. Came home to a very happy well taken care of pup.”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Nelcy was an excellent sitter for our lab. She loved on her and cared for her like she was her own. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive lawyer and dog lover. I have a flexible schedule and huge back yard, and I would love to help you feel confident knowing your pup is in good hands while you’re away! I have full-time dog sitting availability! Love to take pups for long walks and snuggle on the sofa. Available to take out as much as needed. Your pup will have lots of love and a huge fenced yard that they will love to play in! I have two small dogs who love a playmate more than anything.
“Koda really enjoyed his stay at Ashley’s. I appreciated the updates on how he was getting along. It seemed like he fit right in with their household, which was a joy to see. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Paisley was very helpful and took very good care of our dogs. She kept us updated on their status with pictures and texts. She was extremely flexible about the drop off and pick up schedule. I would definitely recommend her.!”
About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
“Maureen was very patient and sweet with my 2 dogs that she kept for a week. Our flight got delayed and she even offered to keep them at no charge until we got home. She was in constant communication with us by sending text updates, photos, and videos. I have a senior dog with a lot of needs that is blind and has to wear wraps and she handled it like a pro. Her dog is sweet too! :)”
“Colleen is a very special person. She took great care of my two pups during an unexpected trip. Both pups loved on Colleen and I knew they were being treated like royalty as I received daily photos and knew both pups were being cared for like family. I appreciate Colleen and her family for everything they did for D and R. I highly recommend!”
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.
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! 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!”
