“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”
“Amazing is all I can say!!! This was the first time Marcus stayed away from us and from the pics and videos we had nothing to worry about!! Faith was so so sweet and welcoming!! Even her mom came out to welcome him and they had home made treats!! Yes, home made!!!! 🍪 If you need puppy care, look no further, Faith is wonderful!! Thank you so so much for loving our fur baby! 🩵🐶”
“Klairi was great with my pup! My Callie girl got to make new puppy friends. She communicated and sent pictures while I was away to ensure that everything was good and she was having a great time. This was the first time I had ever left my pup before and I was a nervous wreck. Klairi was great and was amazing with my dog. I will definitely book again! Definitely recommend!!!”
“Larissa M. was absolutely wonderful! They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter.”
“Caitlin was hands down amazing! I felt completely safe leaving our pup in her care. She was extremely communicative, offering tons of videos and pics daily so I could see how our Wake was faring in our absence. Wake loved her so much! I will absolutely utilize her for future! Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Ana, I’m a wildlife rehabilitation intern and animal care professional with extensive veterinary technician knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animal care is truly my passion, and I’m currently gaining even more hands-on experience working with wildlife and exotic animals. My veterinary knowledge allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and special needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. My goal is not only to keep your pets safe and happy, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am a wildlife rehabiliation intern and work Mondays to Fridays from 9-2. I am very flexible and willing to work with what fits you and your furry friends needs best! I have a fenced in yard and a two bedroom home with plenty of room for them to roam around and play! As well as walking paths behind my home and dog parks that allow for some much needed exercise!
“Marcia is an incredible person. I will always ask her to keep my fur baby before even asking a family member. My pet is so happy and comfortable with Marcia, I get a little jealous! 😊🥰❤️”
“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”
“Lynn was wonderful!!!! She let us know how our dog doing everyday with text and pictures. She is also very funny. I love her!! I recommend Lynn for anyone has small dog.”
“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“Aanchal did a wonderful job looking after our dog and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Much appreciated were the many updates and photos of our dog, so we always felt like she was being well looked after. Will definitely use again!”
“Sarah is amazing!!! I contacted her a few days before Christmas for an immediate spot and she responded immediately. I took Coby over and she spent time with us to make sure Coby would be a good fit with her pets. She sent pictures and updates regularly. Coby was very well cared for and would have been happy to stay a few more days! Thank you Sarah!!!”

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.
“Courtney was fantastic! Our selective Jack Russell fell in love with her right away. She was very communicative and sent us updates throughout his stay. We felt our dog was in great hands the entire time. Courtney was very professional, thorough, and warm and friendly. We will definitely be asking her to watch our little guy every time we go away!”
“Heather was awesome. She and her kids treated Dixie like family and loved having her there. We warned that Dixie might try to climb in bed with her or the kids but she didn’t have a chance. The kids slept with her instead.”

“Outstanding Cat Sitter — Above and Beyond! Rebekah was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Sadie and Bella! During the five days Rebekah cared for our girls, we received updates twice a day, always with great photos and videos. Every message was thoughtful and “newsy,” and Rebekah never hesitated to respond whenever we reached out, which gave us the total peace of mind everyone wants while out of town. One of our cats, Sadie, worked herself into such a state that she developed diarrhea even before we left. When we let Rebekah know, she suggested adding pumpkin to Sadie’s diet—and voilà! Problem solved. We were so impressed by Rebekah’s attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care for our cats. We came home to two happy, well‑cared‑for girls and couldn’t be more grateful. This was the first time we have used Rover or worked with Rebekah, but it absolutely won’t be the last. We highly recommend Rebekah and would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!”
“Sandy was reliable and consistent, very warm and friendly to our cat, and sent daily updates and photos. Very happy w Sandy’s drop in visits and will definitely use her again!!”
About: I’ve been around cats since birth and taking care of them my whole life. I’ve also taken care of a dog, a German Shepherd and a Doberman pinscher. I am a loving caretaker. I have pet sit for multiple people.
“Took great care of my kitties, and even convinced my scaredy cats to come out and play! 10/10 highly recommend, will be requesting her anytime I need a sitter!”
“Bob and Jan did a wonderful job caring for our disabled dog, cats, bunnies and chickens. They were tidy, kind, communicative and thoughtful. I felt very relaxed with the animals in their hands. Highly recommend.”
“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Sarah was awesome. One of our cats had recently been sick, and Sarah provided updates and monitoring. She even managed to administer medication to a cat that doesn’t easily trust people. House was left just like she found it. Will definitely be using her for future needs”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life dogs, cats, and even a few surprise visitors in between! Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or making sure they get fed on time, I truly enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe and loved. I’m currently active duty military, so my schedule stays pretty consistent! I’m available most evenings during the week and open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. If you need early morning care, feel free to message me I’ll do my best to work with your needs! I’m currently serving in the military, which means I’m super reliable, detail oriented, and organized. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, send updates, and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I don’t take that lightly.
“Tabitha was very timely and attentive to our cat "Chi". We appreciated the daily check-ins and the pics posted on-line with Rover.com. Tabitha also took the the time for a "meet'n'greet" with Chi prior to the booking. Thank you!”
About: I have always had a soft spot for cats and find great joy from accompanying them! Previously working at a pet resort educated myself on how to accommodate each unique cat with all their special needs.
About: I have had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and have pet sat for them for as long as I have been pet sitting for dogs. I know that all cats are different, some are layed back cuddlers, and some are super high energy and playful, and I love every experience that I have with each and every one of them.
About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.
About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind, caring, and dependable dog sitter, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my pups. Her communication is amazing, and she always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is incredibly attentive to the dogs and really takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She’s also so easy-going and flexible, which I appreciate more than I can say. Plans change, things come up, and Hannah is always so understanding and willing to adapt without ever making you feel like you’re a burden. Most importantly, I can tell that she genuinely loves animals and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I never have to worry when they’re with her, and that is priceless. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and just genuinely wonderful to have taking care of their pets. ❤️”

“My kiddos wanted to go to the waterpark before returning home from our beach vacation but my fur baby wouldn’t be allowed…. Lucky, I was able to find Jessica last minute thru Rover and everything worked out perfectly! I’d never used Rover before and was a bit nervous to entrust a stranger with my lil girl but I ended up being worried for nothing!

About: Hello! My name is Ariel and I’ve owned/grew up with dogs my entire life. They hold an extremely special place in my heart. I’ve dog sat starting at the young age of 12 years old. I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors. It’s something I truly enjoy. I find it to be therapeutic as well. If anything is asked of me that enhances a dog’s spirit, mood, and health it’s pretty rare if I’ll decline a request. I start with building trust with the individual pet and their owner. I believe this is the core of the relationship. When you are on vacation, your pup is as well. Bonding with animals is special. I take this responsibility seriously as I am watching someone’s family member. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I am available at all hours for needs relating to pet care. I am flexible with availability. I care for pets depending on their specific requirements. I believe in giving a lot of love and building trust. I don’t do anything I wouldn’t do to my own dogs. My pets are spoiled rotten, but live by a routine that benefits their individual needs and happiness. My availability is extremely open and I would plan my personal schedule around my dog sitting schedule. My pup and other 4 legged clients are my top priority. I take my dog out 3 times a day and we we go on a short walk twice a day. Your pup would receive the additional or the same care as my Yorkie Mix

About: Animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and caring for animals has been something I’ve genuinely loved for as long as I can remember. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and kindness we would want for our own. I have over 15 years of dog-sitting experience and have had the privilege of caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I’m also a trained dog groomer, which has given me valuable hands-on experience with safe handling, grooming, hygiene, and understanding the little things that can make a pet more comfortable and happy. I’ve also completed veterinary assistant training, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when it comes to providing attentive and responsible care. When your pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I believe their care should be too. Whether your dog is happiest going on long walks, playing and exploring, relaxing on the couch, or simply getting lots of cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to follow their routine and give them the kind of care that makes them feel secure and loved. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, individual needs, or behavioral quirks that make your pet unique. My goal is not only to care for your pets, but to build a trusting relationship with them—and with you. Your pets’ happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and get to know your furry family. I’ll do everything I can to make their time with me feel like a loving home away from home. 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time caring for your pets. I’m also in the process of starting my own in-home grooming business, so I’m able to build my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. When I care for your pets, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving, trustworthy hands. I understand that your pets are family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. My goal is to make that time away as easy and worry-free for you as possible. While staying in your home, I will respect your space, follow your house rules, and keep things clean and cared for. I’ll also make sure your pets’ normal routines are maintained as closely as possible, because I know how important consistency and familiarity can be to them. If anything unexpected comes up, I will contact you right away. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, medications, behavioral needs, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of love. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priorities. I want you to come home knowing your pets were not only cared for, but genuinely loved while you were away.
About: Being a pet owner my whole life, I give the love and attention I expect for my own fur-babies. I’m privileged to have extra time to help out others. Im free between 12 and 2ish, before I go to work in the afternoon to stop by, hang out with, check on or take your bubbas for a walk. We live on a large property where all our pets are trained to roam safely within boundaries. Pets safety is the highest priority and each visit will reflect that.
About: For 30+ years, I shared my life with dogs, from wiggly puppies to gray‑muzzled seniors. My last two companions crossed the rainbow bridge only weeks apart after 15 wonderful years, caring for them through their golden years, which honed my skills with daily medication, injections, and gentle mobility support. I’m also a certified therapy‑dog handler. Together, Franco and I made rounds at retirement homes and hospice centers with a national organization called K9 Buddies. Whether it’s redirecting anxious energy, reinforcing good manners, or offering a soothing lap for snuggles, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique quirks. Friends jokingly call me “the dog whisperer” because dogs gravitate to me for lots of hugs. From basic obedience refreshers to specialized medical routines, your pet will get knowledgeable, compassionate care as if they were my own. I am self-employed, have ample time to fit potty schedules, and ensure your dog is well cared for when you cannot be home. If desired, overnights and long-term care is a possibility. Your pets care will depend on your desires and their personality. I am happy to discuss specific needs, from medication to play and training. My goal is to allow you to leave your dog home with peace of mind, knowing you do not have to double-check or worry.

About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs.

Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there.

A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.
About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.
“Liz is super. She is reliable to come when scheduled. If there are any changes, she is flexible to our needs. Communication is great; she always provides a report and photos. Most importantly, she loves Baby and gives her the attention needed. If you are looking for an experienced person to love and walk your dog, look no further. We highly recommend her.”
About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.
About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.
About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
About: I have watched many different breeds of dogs since I was 16. Small dogs, big dogs, puppies, seniors. I am now 19 and my love for dogs only grows more and more every time I meet a new one! I also have experience with cats, and love them just as much as dogs. :) I currently pet sit full time, so my days consist of giving my 100% to your pets. I am not currently doing Boardings until the nearer future, but I am still doing, and enjoying doing, Sittings, Drop Ins, Overnight Stays, and Walks! I treat every pet like it is my own and am open to taking care of your pet in any way that it may need. Whether that be with lots of walks, giving medicine, groomings, or baths, I want your pet to feel at home when I am with them. :)

“Klairi was great with my pup! My Callie girl got to make new puppy friends. She communicated and sent pictures while I was away to ensure that everything was good and she was having a great time. This was the first time I had ever left my pup before and I was a nervous wreck. Klairi was great and was amazing with my dog. I will definitely book again! Definitely recommend!!!”

“Caitlin was hands down amazing! I felt completely safe leaving our pup in her care. She was extremely communicative, offering tons of videos and pics daily so I could see how our Wake was faring in our absence. Wake loved her so much! I will absolutely utilize her for future! Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Ana, I’m a wildlife rehabilitation intern and animal care professional with extensive veterinary technician knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animal care is truly my passion, and I’m currently gaining even more hands-on experience working with wildlife and exotic animals. My veterinary knowledge allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and special needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. My goal is not only to keep your pets safe and happy, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am a wildlife rehabiliation intern and work Mondays to Fridays from 9-2. I am very flexible and willing to work with what fits you and your furry friends needs best! I have a fenced in yard and a two bedroom home with plenty of room for them to roam around and play! As well as walking paths behind my home and dog parks that allow for some much needed exercise!
“Marcia is an incredible person. I will always ask her to keep my fur baby before even asking a family member. My pet is so happy and comfortable with Marcia, I get a little jealous! 😊🥰❤️”
“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”
“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“Aanchal did a wonderful job looking after our dog and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Much appreciated were the many updates and photos of our dog, so we always felt like she was being well looked after. Will definitely use again!”
“Sarah is amazing!!! I contacted her a few days before Christmas for an immediate spot and she responded immediately. I took Coby over and she spent time with us to make sure Coby would be a good fit with her pets. She sent pictures and updates regularly. Coby was very well cared for and would have been happy to stay a few more days! Thank you Sarah!!!”

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.
“Courtney was fantastic! Our selective Jack Russell fell in love with her right away. She was very communicative and sent us updates throughout his stay. We felt our dog was in great hands the entire time. Courtney was very professional, thorough, and warm and friendly. We will definitely be asking her to watch our little guy every time we go away!”
“Heather was awesome. She and her kids treated Dixie like family and loved having her there. We warned that Dixie might try to climb in bed with her or the kids but she didn’t have a chance. The kids slept with her instead.”
“10/10 service! Alexander took fantastic care of my dog, Charlee! He kept me updated daily with photos and notes, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Charlee was well-cared for, happy, and in great hands. I highly recommend Alexander and would definitely book him again!”
“Jazmine took such wonderful care of Nala over Memorial Day weekend and we couldn’t have been happier. She was attentive, kind, and clearly treated Nala like one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. Nala came home happy, comfortable, and very loved. We truly appreciated the care and attention Jazmine gave her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup!”
