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 !
“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 ??”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Rusty with Brooke. She was very pleasant and seemed very interested in knowing about Rusty and was happy to comply with instructions we had because Rusty is a finicky eater. We would definitely used her as a sitter again!”
“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”
“Vicky and her husband could not have been more kind to me as well as my dog. She made him feel right at home and his routine stayed the same. He was part of their family when he was there. She sent me pictures every day so I would not worry as well. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I will never take my dog anywhere elas”
“Thank you June for taking such great care of my two pups. You made me and them feel at ease as soon as we walked that the door. I especially enjoyed the pics and videos to let me know how they are doing.”

“This was our first time using Faith. We live in Florida and needed a sitter in NC. We had to take care of family and then traveled to California for our vacation and returned 20 days later. She was amazing with our 2 fur babies. She sent photos every day and kept us posted on daily activities and feedings. We will definitely be using her again for any future trips. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will love your pets as if they are her own.”

“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”

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 !
About: My family has always had pets growing up that I always cared for, including big dogs (St.Bernard), cats, turtles, and fish. My girlfriend and I now have a 2 year old lab golden retriever mix who is our absolute world. I love pets of all sizes and I like to stay active, so I figured why not combine these two loves! I currently run my own business but have the ability to leave when necessary but I will schedule around perfectly if I have enough warning I love animals and I am very patient with them as I know most of the time they are just excited to see new 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.

About: I have always had dogs growing up, but as an adult I gained more experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents and reptiles. During my personal time, I research pet body language and health articles as I want to ensure I’m providing the best care possible while staying educated on animal behavior and health. I currently have a senior chihuahua who is 16 years old, and I do everything to keep her happy and healthy. I have professional experience with bathing dogs of all sizes, and have cared for a variety of pets.

I am choosing to offer services at my client's home at this time. I am happy to discuss all requests and rules related to caring for your pet, as I see them as family! I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver that will take your pets on safe walks, feed them the appropriate amount, and ensure their needs are met.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up I was around breeds such as Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, German Shepards, Poodles and Lhasa Apsos. The first time I became a dog mom was to Zoe, a Bichon Frise. I lived in Chicago at the time in an apartment so I had to walk her multiple times a day. Bichons also need a lot of maintenance with their fur, so I’m very familiar with grooming methods of that type of breed. After Zoe, I became a dog mom to a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, Garner. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and had him for 13.5 years. I understand the level of care a puppy needs as well as a senior dog. I’m also very familiar with handling large breeds on a leash. I understand how a pet is part of the family and I will show your dog lots of love and affection, just like I would my own. I am available Monday-Friday 8am-2pm then from 6pm-8pm. I’m available 7am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact me if you need help outside of those times and I can try to work with you. I’m not able to keep your dog in my home, but I will always make sure your dog is safe in your home. I will always follow your safety protocols.

I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. 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!

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 !

“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 ??”
“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”

About: I have had animals at home since I was born. I have raised my Australian Labradoodle on my own since she was eight weeks old, crate, train, and potty trained her within four weeks of taking her home with no accidents! We just got another puppy from the same breeder and she is doing wonderful. My husband, son, and I would love to care for your fur baby. We are the family at the function that sits in the floor with the dog 🩷 My older dog free roams during the day, our puppy is in the crate. My husband and I work full time Mon-Thurs and are home early on Fridays. My girls get a mile walk every day & yard play. We have a small lot fence for our dogs, we walk, and play, and snuggle. In my home dogs are family. With 2 friendly dogs to play with they will have a great vacation!
“This was our first time using Faith. We live in Florida and needed a sitter in NC. We had to take care of family and then traveled to California for our vacation and returned 20 days later. She was amazing with our 2 fur babies. She sent photos every day and kept us posted on daily activities and feedings. We will definitely be using her again for any future trips. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will love your pets as if they are her own.”
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.
“Baili is a plesent person. Got my puppies back, they were cold up on pick up, one had diarrhea, so he ate something he wasn't supposed too. She only gave updates when I asked for it, even tho I requested random updates. But I'm happy to have them back alive and for the most part well”
