“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Leslie did an awesome job keeping our fur baby, Winston, while we were out of town. After meeting Leslie, we felt at ease leaving him in her care. We will recommend her to others and definitely book with her again.”
“Ashley was a perfect fit for our dog, Ollie. She was great with him and kept us updated with messages and pictures of how he was doing. We will definitely ask Ashley first if we need somewhere for Ollie tp stay.”
“Itzel was so great with our pup. She was very communicative and sent pics every day. We could tell she loved him and he was taken care of while he was there. Thanks so much!”
“I can not be dissatisfied with Kelly’s love for dogs and caring for them!! She has truly been great. I live her scheduling and she advises you of all her policies before any payment is made. You can’t go wrong with Kelly .”
“Our pets mean everything to us, and when we leave town, we want to find them the best possible care. This can be a challenging and anxious task. Norma was a perfect person to dog sit and made this task of leaving my dog away from me an extremely easy process. Norma had every trait you would expect from an excellent dog sitter. She was empathetic, professional, flexible, experienced, and had an instant connection with my dog due to her skills and knowledge. She constantly kept me updated with how my dog was doing and sent pictures of him regularly. At any point when I reached out to her, she promptly responded with an update and answers. I could sense that when she picked my dog and when I picked my dog from her at the end of visit, that he was happy and had a blast at her place. She left us with an excellent note and healthy treats. She also gave excellent feedback as to how to better manage my dog daily. If you have any concerns or doubts, about leaving your pet with stranger...I would highly recommend Norma and will myself seek her services if needed in the future. Thank you so much Norma, what you do is not an easy job and to do it as well as you did...Ladoo and I cant thank you enough.”
“Abriana was great with my french bulldog. Very professional and provided my with updates while I was on my trip. Will definitely have her watch my dog when I travel again.”
“Angelique and her family are awesome! Gave Evita a wonderful greeting along with their fur baby Josie. I was given updates and photos daily. She was also Super accommodating with our schedule. Definitely recommend.”
“Kim was wonderful to work with. My sweet Marley had her puppy moments but Kim was so great and never let those “puppy” incidents get to her. I stressed more about her than Kim did. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for being so great to our little girl ??”
“Our first stay at Katherine's was fantastic! She was very friendly and quick to respond. Our dog came home happy and tired from a fun visit. Great back yard for running and playing. So happy to have found a home away from home for our pup after relocating to the area. Will definitely use again.”
“Amanda and her family were incredible! They sent me all types of photos of the dogs while I was away from them! They had a blast!! I highly recommend utilizing her services!!!!! My dogs Lance and Cookie will definitely be back soon!!!!”
“Steve and Brittany did such a great job watching Finn! You can tell Finn loved his time there. Finn really enjoyed being able to play in their huge fenced in yard with Anakin. We will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Ariel was so fabulous! I had to book at the last minute due to an emergency at home and being in vacation. She was nice enough to go pick up Ash. She kept me updated with pictures on how he’s doing. I will definitely rebook her.”
“Nickey was great! She took such good care of my Lucy. I love how my girl got tons of attention and love while we were away. Nickey sent pictures and videos often and her communication was great- she even picked up and dropped off Lucy for us, which was a huge help! I definitely recommend booking with Nickey!”
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !

“Courtney B did a fabulous job looking after a very skiddish feral cat. She was able to work very well with the kitty and made sure food was available for her while I was out of town. I would certainly have Courtney help again!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! On the day of our meet and greet, she immediately started to gain trust and build a relationship with our cat. She did exactly what was asked to make sure he would be cared for during our time away and made sure to send a daily picture. While we were away, we had a semi- emergency affecting our home, and she was helpful in getting that taken care of, though that wasn't in the scope of her requirements. I'd definitely use Jennifer again, and I'm sure my kitty wouldn't mind either! Thank you so much Jennifer for allowing our kitty to stay in the comfort of his home while we were away.”
About: Hello! Currently I own 3 precious female cats myself! I rescued each of them when they were kittens and still actively work with a cat rescue local in my area! I have plenty of resource opportunities if needed as well because of that! I have owned cats since I was a child, and I’ve always loved observing each of their own unique personalities. Although many say dogs are a man’s best friend, I truly believe cats are equally as loyal, loving and caring!

“Morgan was phenomenal!! Not only did she work with me last minute with her having less than 1 hour notice but she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate myself and my high maintence doberman - she saved me in a pinch and I could t be more grateful! Her hospitality and care was genuine and she was steps ahead of me for what I needed as she’s already experienced. I was traveling through St. Augustine and thank goodness she was available to work with me! Shocking bonus is my doberman was unusually calm with her when she’s typically uneasy with strangers the first time, she actually handled things very very well - says a lot!”
About: Since the age of 23, I have independently cared for three dogs entrusted to me by my mother. This ongoing responsibility has required daily attention to their feeding, grooming, and exercise routines, strengthening my time management, reliability, and caregiving skills. Since I stay at home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets and easily work it into my daily schedule . When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment with regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and stay in touch with owners with updates and photos.
About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own. I’m always watching training videos on dog behavior as to be ready at all times and recognizing when to step in. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home majority of my days unless I’m running errands. So they are in my care at all times. I love to send videos and pictures to keep everyone updated. So I’m hoping to love on your fur-babies soon. I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of my days unless I’m out running an errand or out with my sister doing an activity with my kids. But most of my days consist of being at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a really big back yard and open front yard and woods. We are back in the corner of the woods. I also have 2 big dogs that will help guide your dog on how to do things. I also have a crate if need be for a large breed dog if that’s something they are use too. I’m more than welcome to walk your dogs on a leash if you felt more comfortable
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care. Whether it’s providing walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I also enjoy getting outside for walks and nature trails, so your pup will get both exercise and love. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your pet—whether you need daytime care, drop-in visits, or walks. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend and give them the care they deserve. 💛 I’m available daily for doggy daycare and boarding. Please reach out if you need care outside of my availability and I will try my best to accommodate. At my home, pets have a safe fenced backyard and a cozy space indoors. At a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, keeping pets comfortable with their usual routine.
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”

My home includes a fenced yard where dogs can run, sniff, and enjoy fresh air. Outdoor time is always supervised, and I tailor walks and play sessions to each pet’s energy level.

“Bentley had a great time with Abriana and her dogs! She accomodated our specific requests graciously. She spent time helping him get acquainted with her property and animals. She sent us updates and photos while we were at the NC Zoo. Bentley was more content than anxious at pick-up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
About: As a retired teacher, creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment is second nature to me—and that extends to every pet in my care. My home sits on a beautiful lake with large grassy areas, giving your dog plenty of space to explore, play, and relax on leash or off. I have both a female Boykin Spaniel dog and a female Snow Hylander cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. Whether your pet loves outdoor time, quiet companionship, or a consistent routine, I strive to make them feel right at home. Your baby needs to be cat and dog friendly. I will administer prescribed medications as needed. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for in a comfortable, stress-free environment. I am a retired teacher and am home to love and care for your pet while you enjoy your time away. My schedule is flexible to meet your pet's needs. I live on the lake and have a large grassy area for your baby to play and explore with my dog on or off the leash. Inside the home, space will be also be shared with my cat. So, your baby will need to be cat friendly as well. We have a relaxed environment, but I am willing to adjust to your dog's routine as needed.

About: Available full time to watch your babies. I love dogs and I have always had 1or 2 myself. My husband and myself have bought an RV and we live in it in a campground but we do have yard space and lots of space for walking your loved ones. I have worked for 1 1/2 years at a veterinarian office. Let me take care of your pet for you and you'll not have to worry about them. I am a very reliable person. I love dogs of all kinds and of all ages. I can sit them in their own surroundings in their home or at my home. I can provide you with a reference if you would like. Dogs mean so much to me and I love to show them all the loving they need. I in NO way believe in animal cruelty, it is not in no way tolerated!! Pick me and you won't be sorry. I don't work outside the home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby which is right down my alley. I love animals! I can let your pet roam in my home if that is what they are used to and that won't bother me. I can also crate your pet if need be but only if you instruct me to do so. I also have a small fenced area for them to roam.
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life, from farm animals to cats and dogs, to hamsters and fish. I’m extremely knowledgeable in vet care, training care and keeping your animal happy while in my care. I own a service dog who gets along great with all animals and people. I currently WFH and have full range to take care of your pet 24/7. I am available to do potty breaks as often as needed and free range to even take your dog to the dog park for a day of fun. I have a shaded trail in my neighborhood to take your dog on long walks and a dog that loves to play. I’m fully kitted with treats to reward and even train your animal if needed.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, and my passion for animals has only grown stronger over the years. My dream is to one day open my own grooming business for both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is not just my hands-on experience, but also my deep admiration for pets—their bright personalities, endless love, and joyful energy inspire me every day! I currently have open availability, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I’ve been eager to work with animals and am excited to finally do so through Rover! I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in every way. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and medication as needed. If requested, I can also help with bathing, light grooming, and nail trims to keep your pets feeling their best!
About: My love for animals started when I worked at a shelter in my middle school years. My husband and I have one mini Goldendoodle, Franklin, who is friendly and energetic. He loves the company of other dogs and would certainly welcome your fur baby into our home! We also have a two year old daughter who adores dogs. We walk our dog daily in our neighborhood and would be happy to take yours with us. I am self-employed and primarily work from home, so I am able to give your dog the attention they deserve. We are most comfortable with small and medium dogs. We would love to care for your dog while you are enjoying your vacation or simply away from home! Thank you for considering us! I primarily work from home. When I am away from home for work on some evenings and Saturdays, my husband is usually home as he is a teacher and has evening and weekend flexibility. We coordinate our schedules to make sure one of us is available for your dog. We currently only board one dog at a time to ensure they are getting plenty of love and attention. We have a friendly Goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company. We also take daily walks and would be happy to bring your dog along with us. We have a medium sized crate if your dog needs to be crated, or they can sleep in a dog bed.
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets.

I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you!

With hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, training, and holistic wellness, I understand not just how to meet a pet’s needs, but how to truly connect with them.

Throughout the day, I pay close attention to their moods, making time for play, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them when they need comfort. Their well-being is a priority in everything I do, and caring for them brings structure, peace, and purpose to my day. When I care for other people’s animals, I treat them like they’re my own—with patience, gentleness, and full attention. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

I know how much animals mean to their families, and I do everything I can to give them peace of mind.

“Our pets mean everything to us, and when we leave town, we want to find them the best possible care. This can be a challenging and anxious task. Norma was a perfect person to dog sit and made this task of leaving my dog away from me an extremely easy process. Norma had every trait you would expect from an excellent dog sitter. She was empathetic, professional, flexible, experienced, and had an instant connection with my dog due to her skills and knowledge. She constantly kept me updated with how my dog was doing and sent pictures of him regularly. At any point when I reached out to her, she promptly responded with an update and answers. I could sense that when she picked my dog and when I picked my dog from her at the end of visit, that he was happy and had a blast at her place. She left us with an excellent note and healthy treats. She also gave excellent feedback as to how to better manage my dog daily. If you have any concerns or doubts, about leaving your pet with stranger...I would highly recommend Norma and will myself seek her services if needed in the future. Thank you so much Norma, what you do is not an easy job and to do it as well as you did...Ladoo and I cant thank you enough.”

“Our first stay at Katherine's was fantastic! She was very friendly and quick to respond. Our dog came home happy and tired from a fun visit. Great back yard for running and playing. So happy to have found a home away from home for our pup after relocating to the area. Will definitely use again.”

About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“First time leaving my 2 yo lab with Brad. He was one happy tired boy when I picked him up. Appreciated the photos/updates and excellent communication. Wonderful to find such a great dog sitter!”
“We had such ease leaving our baby girl, Birdie, with Philip and Mallory. They sent daily pics and Birdie was a very happy girl with them. They also were very easy and flexible with pickup even helping us pick Birdie up at home as we had an early flight. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and even reptiles. Over the past five years, my family has had a full house of pets, including one dog, two cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a chameleon, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. In 2021, I completed training to have my golden retriever certified as a therapy dog. After becoming licensed, she worked alongside me in public schools, where she provided comfort and support to students. That experience strengthened my skills in handling, training, and understanding animals while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give animals plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life with our own pets, so adding additional pet care feels like a natural extension of our routine. My home is very pet-friendly and used to having animals around. I have a family of five with three kids ages 11–16 who all love animals and are respectful of their personalities and space. Since I already have pets in our home, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, just like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions the owner provides. My goal is always to make sure pets feel relaxed, well cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I have experience taking care of my dogs for over 6 years now. I love my dogs and I hope to take care of many other doggos just the same way! Pets are family and I believe in providing the best care and creating a happy safe environment for them. Currently I work as a Registered Nurse allowing me to have a flexible schedule so I have morning, afternoon and evening availabilities. I am also available for last minute sittings if needed, that is not a problem! I also provide house sitting care as well! I have a dog of my own who is very friendly and always looking for friends to play with. When caring for pets in a client's home or at my own home, I always follow any specific instructions provided by the client or outlined in the care plan. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have clean water, and that their living areas are kept clean and safe. I also ensure they get attention and comfort. I’m mindful of safety—for both the pet and the client—such as avoiding trip hazards or messes. If I notice anything unusual, like changes in behavior or eating habits, I report it promptly. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I treat them with the same respect and care.
