“Megan watched my dog from friday to monday night. I was a little skeptical never using rover before but upon picking Raya up I was very pleased. I could tell my dog actually had fun and felt safe. When I picked her up she was clean, playful and happier then ever to see me. I also received pictures from Megan everyday of my dog :)”
“This was my 1st time booking this sitter and she was AMAZING! She put my mind at ease by sending me lots of pictures and videos. That helped me to feel reassured that my dog was happy and safe. When I picked him up, he looked sad that he was leaving. I would definitely book again with her. Thank you for your service!”
“My Harley had a great time I was very pleased with the care and the many updates that were sent without having to ask. When Harley first arrived he had an accident I’m thinking he was nervous out the car ride she understood didn’t make an issue out of it and we went on with the appointment. Harley didn’t want to leave 🤣😊 the home was clean and cool I will certainly be rebooking.”
“Awesome stay 🐾🐕 my girl Oona enjoys her get away! Thank you Ludris for accepting our short notice stay. We are repeat customers and I would recommend Ludris to friends and family.”
“Michel accepted my request at last minute and was super pleasant. My pupps enjoyed their stay and came back with everything in tact. She also was kind enough to instruct them on certain commands. I received updates and pictures without having to ask.”
“This was my first time hiring a sitter (new pet), so I didn't know how it would work or how things would go. To my delight, the process was simple and easy. Now onto the sitter--Jacqueline was outstanding. She kept my cat/kitten (grown lil boy, "Mr") from Thur-Sun. She sent pics of him daily and let me know how he was doing, what he was eating, etc. She brought up no issues with him during his visit with her. I felt at peace seeing the pics (especially the first day) of him and knew he was safe and happy. I'm glad I chose Jacqueline and encourage anyone who's on the fence about getting a sitter, to try Jacqueline....I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Thank you Jacqueline A....”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stedman
“I've used them for boarding before and now Buttercup does Doggie daycare with them and I could not be happier. They are communicative and send updates. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Thank you both and your family for loving my Buttercup like she's one of your own!”
About: I have loved animals all my life and have had pets in the home since I was born. I first started babysitting others pets while their owners were on Leave or TDY starting in the 3rd grade. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of grass for your pet to run and play. While your pet is in my care, they will be given plenty of potty breaks, exercise and play time. I will send you pictures and brief updates throughout their stay to put your mind at ease. I have extensive experience dealing with senior pets who need medications and who need special care due to specific medical ailments. Your pet will always be treated as my family. They will get hugs and kisses, too! Please don't let my address in Wade deter you...I am only 8 miles from Ramsey Street!! For safety reasons, we cannot take care of Pitt Bulls or any pet that is aggressive. If it is the first time caring for your pet, I will ask to do a Meet and Greet so we can all meet one another to ensure our pets will all get along. I work remotely from home so your pet will rarely be left alone. I have two dogs of my own, so your pet will have plenty of company to play with. Since I do work from home, I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and time to go outside in the yard to run and play. I have a very large fenced in yard that is all grass and very clean providing your pet plenty of room to run and play or just time to walk around the yard and explore. I will never leave your pet outside alone. Either my husband or I will be with them the entire time. While inside the house, they will have full access to clean water, plenty of toys and soft dog beds, all in our very clean home. If I am dropping in on your pet in your home, you can rest assured that I will be on time for the visit, take them to potty, and give them plenty of love. I will be very respectful of your home and only go in the areas needed for me to do the visit. For safety reason, I will not be able to watch Pitt Bulls or pets that are aggressive in any way. Please let me know if your dog can jump or climb fences, or is an escape artist.
About: I bring four decades of hands-on experience to every dog I train and pet I care for. Since 2015, I’ve successfully competed with my own dogs in a variety of canine sports, giving me a deep understanding of how to build skills, confidence, and a strong bond between pets and their people. Beyond formal training, I’ve volunteered at our local animal control, working with animals from all walks of life and temperaments. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, multiple species of birds, and even a snake—broadening my expertise with different behaviors, needs, and personalities. This combination of professional experience, volunteer service, and lifelong animal care allows me to offer patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate training and pet sitting that owners can trust. I am currently available during the week and most weekends to care for your pets; this includes drop in visits, walks and even training sessions. Safety of the pets in my care is of the utmost importance, whether I care for them in the client’s home, I am boarding them in my home or walking them in public. I will abide by city, county and state laws regarding the care and maintenance of your beloved pets.
About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊
“Juleysi was very kind and understanding. Even tho it was a last minute booking, she was pleasant and treated Dolce like hers. I’ll definitely use her services and absolutely recommend her!”
About: As a proud four-legged mom, I take pet care very seriously and treat every dog like my own. I’m available every day as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I have two sweet, well-trained dogs of my own, Jadore and Jiovanni, who are the friendliest pups you’ll ever meet. I even have special days where I cook dog-friendly meals—because making pets feel loved and cared for is so important to me. When I look after your pets, they’ll be treated like family with lots of love, attention, and care. Pet care fits into my daily routine very naturally because it’s something I’m already doing every single day. As a stay-at-home mom and dog mom, I structure my day around making sure my two dogs, Jadore and Jiovanni, are happy, healthy, and cared for. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, training, and lots of love and attention. Because I’m home full-time, I have the flexibility to schedule drop-in visits and walks throughout the day without it ever feeling rushed. Caring for pets is more than just a task for me—it’s a part of my lifestyle. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks to get their energy out, making sure they’re fed on time, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship. Every pet I look after gets the same care and attention I give my own, so it fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. To me, it’s not an “extra” responsibility—it’s something I love to do and look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure they’re fed at their usual times, get fresh water, and have plenty of time for play, walks, and bathroom breaks. I love giving them attention, whether that’s cuddle time, playing with toys, or just sitting nearby so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also take care to follow any special instructions you provide—whether it’s medications, feeding preferences, or certain routines that make your pet feel more secure. I pay attention to their behavior and body language to make sure they’re happy and stress-free while you’re away. For me, caring for pets isn’t just about the basics—it’s about making sure they feel loved and safe until you’re back home.
“Bianca was wonderful! We needed a quick sitter while we went out of town for a memorial service, but rather than leaving our pup in our home city, we took her with us and had Bianca watch her while we were at the service. Ness got walked and slept and played with Biana's two pups. The whole affair was perfect.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Buddy stayed with Jacky for eight days, and from the very first day we knew he was in great hands. Every morning he was excited to go to her, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he felt with her. Jacky took wonderful care of him, kept him active, and made sure he felt safe and loved throughout his stay. It was such a relief knowing that Buddy was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and Buddy came home happy and tired every day. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention Jacky gave him and would trust her with Buddy again without hesitation. Highly recommended – 5 stars all the way”

About: I've been around dogs all my life. My grandparents were breeders for Scotties, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers. My personal pets have been Velvet a cooker spaniel, Tobby a shepherd/lab mix, Doobee a shepherd/collie mix and my current cohort is Harley a 50 lb mixed breed rescue from texas. I have completed over 18 months of weekly training with Harley culminating with AKC canine good citizen certificate. What i learned from that experience was the importance and significance of consistency. Additionally that I am trained to be as consistent as possible in providing the type of care that you prefer for your pet. I'm retired so I am usually available anytime and can do same day appointments. I'm usually up before 6am and keep late night hours also so please feel free to contact me anytime. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your pet if needed. I have one pet friendly dog at home if your pet likes company. I do not have any children living at my home.
About: I am experienced in senior pup care and have assisted in training young puppies. I am extremely comfortable with administering medications and being conscious to special dietary needs. I was a vet assistant at Caring Hands Animal Hospital for 5 years before retiring due to injury. I treat all animals with kindness and respect. I believe all animals deserve compassion. Pet care is already a part time job for me. Because of my injury, I am frequently home and am available most days. Not to mention the kittens I take care of. I pay very close attention to each individual pets needs whether in my home or yours. Having 6 cats and a dog of my own, I understand the different schedules and habits of each pet. I aim to make each Animal (and their owner) as comfortable as possible with the process.
About: Hi! I’m Dayana! I’ve always loved animals, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have a 6-year-old Pit Bull of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling larger breeds. I’ve also done basic training with my own dog, so I’m familiar with reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach based on each dog’s needs. I do work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my availability to fit your needs. I also have access to Fort Bragg, so I’m available to care for pets both on and off post. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I do work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my availability to fit your needs.

About: I have had an animal since I can remember but I was 9 when I first took the responsibilities of caring for furry friends and I still do with my two dogs of my own and I love everyday with it! I have babysat friends dogs before as well as do drop in visits! I currently work 2 jobs but one is only friday-sunday as of right now. It’s a seasonal job so as seasons change so will my availability but I make time for everything! My other “job” would be instacart. The only reason I say it’s a “job” is because I don’t do it everyday but I am around all the areas so I can definitely do drop in visits or take your pups on a walk! I am very energetic especially when it comes to pups so your furry friend will definitely be getting in their workout as well as having a blast whether it’s on a walk or running around and playing with toys

I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.
About: I have been trusted a magnitude of time to support families on trips watching their pets daily. I sent pictures and updates when I am there watching pets. Being in the military, I have days where I can come home early and I am there to support my pets needs and I most of the time give my dog a full of attention I make sure that their pets feel loved that they go on multiple walks a day to get out of the house and stretch out. I also make sure that they are well fed and hydrated.

“They communicated quickly and often sending pictures and giving updates over the days. Most importantly they made Simba’s first time away great and accommodated any needs I had.”
“Megan watched my dog from friday to monday night. I was a little skeptical never using rover before but upon picking Raya up I was very pleased. I could tell my dog actually had fun and felt safe. When I picked her up she was clean, playful and happier then ever to see me. I also received pictures from Megan everyday of my dog :)”
“This was my 1st time booking this sitter and she was AMAZING! She put my mind at ease by sending me lots of pictures and videos. That helped me to feel reassured that my dog was happy and safe. When I picked him up, he looked sad that he was leaving. I would definitely book again with her. Thank you for your service!”
“My Harley had a great time I was very pleased with the care and the many updates that were sent without having to ask. When Harley first arrived he had an accident I’m thinking he was nervous out the car ride she understood didn’t make an issue out of it and we went on with the appointment. Harley didn’t want to leave 🤣😊 the home was clean and cool I will certainly be rebooking.”
“This was my first time hiring a sitter (new pet), so I didn't know how it would work or how things would go. To my delight, the process was simple and easy. Now onto the sitter--Jacqueline was outstanding. She kept my cat/kitten (grown lil boy, "Mr") from Thur-Sun. She sent pics of him daily and let me know how he was doing, what he was eating, etc. She brought up no issues with him during his visit with her. I felt at peace seeing the pics (especially the first day) of him and knew he was safe and happy. I'm glad I chose Jacqueline and encourage anyone who's on the fence about getting a sitter, to try Jacqueline....I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Thank you Jacqueline A....”
