Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wade
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wade
“Ludris was a wonderful sitter for my large breed dog, Jill. She kept me updated with pictures and provided clear communication throughout my dog's stay. I would definitely book with her again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The sitter I found on Rover was absolutely amazing—truly the best people to watch my dog. From the first message, they were responsive, kind, and clearly experienced. They treated my pup like family, sent regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and loved. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
About: **I do have access to Fort Bragg! :) I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From smalls puppies to mastiffs and cats to rats, birds, and more! My family and I have rescued and lovingly homed most of our previous pets, which has deepened my understanding of the unique needs and special care that pets sometimes require. I’ve developed patience and a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply cuddling (maybe my favorite part), I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and comfort. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority and I PROMISE to treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a full time online student working on my bachelor’s in Health Sciences! I’m available pretty much 24/7, and what better way to fill this time than by taking care of your fur babies?! Depending on your pet’s preferences, we’ll either enjoy cozy indoor playtime and cuddles or stay active with outdoor adventures. Your pet will be fed strictly according to their usual schedule, and my home offers plenty of comfortable spots for restful naps after walks. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s ideal for their wellbeing. If boarding at your home, I will maintain their regular routine while ensuring they receive plenty of love and engaging activities. Cleanliness is a priority for me, so if you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to provide complimentary cleaning services while your pet is resting or otherwise occupied, ensuring a fresh and healthy environment!
“This was the second time I’ve entrusted my Siberian husky Navi with Megan! She is incredible and I couldn’t recommend a better person than her (: She and her daughter Jade are extremely responsive and will treat your fur baby as part of their family. They send constant updates and are super flexible.”
“Larry and Pam were the absolute best! They sent me daily updates and photos of Oliver and gave me complete peace of mind. We will definitely reach out again if we need to board him in the future!!”
“We used Connie's services once again due to her obvious love and great care of our Zoe girl! She provided updates including pictures and videos that we appreciate so much! It's great to know that our family can depend on Connie to take care of Zoe while we are on vacation.”
“Barley had a great time at Emily’s! He was treated like a little king- never left alone as requested, slept in bed with Emily’s daughter, and got to run around with her dogs and other animals. Will be booking again when I need a sitter!”
“Ercilia is absolutely wonderful with Angus. He's a senior dog with many senior issues and medications. She's always very kind to him and compassionate about his problems. She does a great job with him and he's always happy to stay.”
“Mango absolutely loved spending time with Jacquelyn, she truly brought him into her home and treated him like her own. I couldn’t be more grateful to have had a very engaged and professional sitter. We had a little delay in our return from our trip due to weather so we had to show up later than the pickup time scheduled and Jacquelyn was more than willing to accommodate. I highly recommend Jacquelyn for anyone looking to board their pets.”
“Haylee was lovely to work with. We did a meet and greet beforehand to ensure that my dog got along with her four dogs. Haylee provided updates throughout the weekend and I think our dog had a great time playing with her dogs and running around the fenced in yard.”
“This was the first time our pup had stayed away from us and I was nervos but Maria kept me updated and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. She took great care of him and we will be using her from this point forward! :)”
“Michel and her family did awesome keeping my baby boy for 10 days. She sent updates and text every morning and every night. She’s sent lots of pictures of my baby. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!! Will definitely be using her again. Such a loving family. My dog left happy and he had a great stay. 10 out of 10 😊😊”
“Ana is literally the best and always looks after our babies with the most care and attention! We love her and she is the best sitter we’ve dealt with. Thank you for all do Ana!”
“Kristin is awesome! Bella was in great hands the entire time and she does a great job of sending pictures and updates of your loved one often! Strong recommendation for anyone looking for someone who’s reliable, trustworthy, and kindhearted!”
“China is absolutely amazing with my baby. She sent me a video of her and him singing together. It was adorable. He thoroughly enjoys going to her house. I'm playing with her baby Bailey. I absolutely recommend her as a sitter. For your love, toy”
“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!”
“As usual, Lisa was amazing with Molly. It is such a relief when you have to leave and know your fur baby will be well taken care off. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your pet.”
“Casey was great!! She showered my dog with love and kept me informed (pictures and messages) with how he was doing throughout his stay. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their pet.”

“Another great experience with Ericka. I appreciate that Ericka takes the time to be familiar with Luna's personality. I may end up having to hire her as a photographer 'cause Lord knows I can't get those pics of my cat.”
“Sandy took great care of my kittens while I was gone. She was on time everyday. The boys had a lot of fun playing with her during the visits. Sandy usually takes care of dogs, but I can also recommend her for cats.”
About: I've taken care of a family friend's cats for 5, going on 6 years! They went from 1 cat to 4, it's been so exciting working with each one and watching them gain trust in me. I have a gentle hand and will be there to support your cat in your absence :)
About: I have grown up with all different kinds of pets. Along with watching friends pets, I have worked for companies such as United Paws and Wag. I can do early mornings and evenings, I am in the military so that takes up my time from 9-1700. I do have Saturdays and Sundays off. I will care for the pets as if they are my own. Lots of love and playing and treats if permitted. Pet deserve full attention and that is what they will get.
“Margaret did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She was awesome at communicating and keeping us informed of what was going on and sent very cute pictures of him while we were away.”
“Absolutely amazing 💯 Helped out with emergency last minute care, super responsive, very flexible. Provided adorable cat pics and kept me in the loop on her activities. Cat came back very relaxed. Will definitely be returning! Tysm!!!”
“Aimie is the best! She kept us up to date with each visit, and sent us daily report along with pictures. She is quick to answer text messages, and very easy to comunicate with. We would definitely book her again and recommend her services 100%! Thank You Aimie!”
“Brooke was wonderful with my kitties. From the moment they met her she was their new best friend. She took the time to play with them too. She took lots of great photos! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were well cared for. 😁”
About: Since 2016, I’ve provided personalized care for over 50 cat households. From daily visits to specialized medical needs, I have hands-on experience with everything from giving pills to administering shots. You can count on me to keep your cat comfortable, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: 🐾 Hello there, fellow pet lovers! My name is Clayton, and I’m here to give you peace of mind when it comes to caring for your furry family members. 🐶 I recently moved to Fayetteville, NC to begin my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at Methodist University, but I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years — ever since I was 14! My mom used to drive me to my first clients before I even had my license, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities ever since. I have a toy Pomeranian named Dakota, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your pets like their own. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just relaxing company, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. ⸻ 🕓 My Schedule As a DPT student, I keep a structured but flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week: • Monday: Class from 8 AM–1 PM and 2–5:45 PM, but I always come home for lunch in between. • Tuesday: No classes — available all day for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. • Wednesday: Class 8–11 AM & 2–6 PM, free midday. • Thursday: Class 8–11 AM & 12–2 PM, free afternoons. • Friday: Class 8–12 PM, free after lunch. • Weekends: Fully available! I live just 4 minutes from campus, which makes coming home during the day easy. I already go home daily to take Dakota out, so I’m used to keeping a consistent and reliable routine for pets. ⸻ ❤️ What You Can Expect 🌞 Regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep tails wagging 🍽️ Feeding and medication schedules carefully followed 🐾 Updates, photos, and open communication so you’re always in the loop 🤗 Genuine love and affection for every animal in my care Every pet is unique, and I take time to learn what makes them happiest — whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or calm company. ⸻ If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced sitter who treats your pets like family, I’d love to help. Let’s set up a meet and greet so I can meet your furry friends! 🐕❤️ First time booking? Use my link for $20 off your first Rover stay (new clients only): 👉 https://www.rover.com/sit/claytc90138 🕒 Availability and Schedule 🕒 I know every pet has their own rhythm, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care that fits smoothly around your schedule! Current Schedule with Midday Flexibility: I’m currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Methodist University, living just 4 minutes from campus, which makes it easy for me to come home during the day. My weekly class schedule is: • Monday: 8 AM–1 PM & 2–5:45 PM (home for lunch in between) • Tuesday: No classes — fully available all day • Wednesday: 8–11 AM & 2–6 PM (free midday) • Thursday: 8–11 AM & 12–2 PM (free afternoons) • Friday: 8–12 PM (free after lunch) Early-Morning Routine: I’m an early riser and wake up around 5 AM every weekday to work out before class. My dog usually sleeps in until I get back, shower, and put food in her bowl — but if your dog prefers an early start, I’m more than happy to accommodate! If they like to sleep in, that’s fine too — I can match their pace. Mornings, Afternoons & Weekends: I’m available most mornings before class, afternoons after class, and have full availability on Tuesdays and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or longer stays. On weekends, I usually wake up a little later (6:30–7:30 AM), so the routine just shifts slightly later to match a more relaxed pace. I already go home daily to care for my own toy Pomeranian, so maintaining a reliable and consistent routine for pets is second nature to me. Even with a busy school schedule, I make the most of every moment spent with your pets—treating them like family every step of the way. Feel free to reach out, and we can chat about what works best for you and your furry companion! 🐾 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment 🏡 I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly — a cozy space where animals can relax and feel right at home. I share my apartment with my 8-year-old Toy Pomeranian, Dakota, who’s friendly, gentle, and used to being around other dogs once acclimated (she’s usually a little afraid of other dogs but makes friends quickly in her own space). She enjoys daily walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles, so visiting pets always have good company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I bring that same level of attention and reliability. I make sure each pet feels secure, respected, and loved in their familiar environment — following your routines closely to keep things as stress-free and consistent as possible.
“Alexis did a great job of caring for our kitties, Nala and Adelaide, while we were away for a week. Although Alexis had never been to our home, she easily followed the provided directions to ensure that our girls had clean litter and fresh water, and that our home was secure. She was very professional in communications as well. We will look forward to hiring her for future trips.”
About: I have 12 years of experience professionally sitting and caring for kittens and cats. I have 6 years of experience caring for senior cats. I know it is important to keep a feline area clean and tidy to reduce hair and odor from taking over your home. I am highly trusted and rated across multiple pet care sires. I love to love animals and will give your fur baby the same that I give my own.
About: I provide reliable, loving pet care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets, and I always prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and one-on-one attention. I keep a flexible schedule to make sure pets stay comfortable, cared for, and on their normal routine. On weekends, I typically enjoy taking long walks, which is perfect for active dogs who love extra exercise and outdoor time. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision to help pets feel relaxed and at home.
About: I have about 3–4 years of experience caring for cats. I’m comfortable with all the day-to-day needs like feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they have a clean, cozy space. I also volunteered at a shelter where I had the opportunity to read books and talk with the cats. There is a possibility of me and your cat watching Netflix together, if that’s ok ✨

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wade
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 😊
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.
“Noni told me all I needed to know about this sitter when she acted like she didnt want to leave with me just yet ☹️lol! A very good sign that she not only felt safe but cared for at the same time. Juleysi comes highly recommended from me!”
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.
“Skyler took good care of our little girl. She was more than accommodating. She was not even fazed at our drop off time of 5:30 am! We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much Skyler.”
About: Hi, I’m Celina, an animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I recently relocated from Alaska to North Carolina and am excited to provide top-quality care for pets in my new community. My passion for animals drives me to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether you need a regular pet sitter or someone for a special occasion, I’m here to help! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked with dogs who have anxiety and understand how to make them feel more at ease, whether it’s through a calming environment, routine, or extra attention. I’m also skilled at administering medication to both cats and dogs, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, house sitting and doggy daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, such as cleaning up after pets and watering plants. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I genuinely love taking care of pets and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs medication, special attention, or just someone to be there while you're away, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily life. I take my daughter on daily walks, so having a friendly dog to accompany us is always a joy—if your dog is comfortable and safe around children. If not, no worries! I can leave my daughter with a trusted person while I give your pet my full attention. I have my own car, so transportation to your location is never an issue. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need, no matter what! When caring for pets in your home, I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, ensuring your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. During my visits, I’ll feed, water, and play with your pet, as well as clean up after them. I take special care to ensure your pet’s safety by following your guidelines and routines, keeping doors securely closed, and making sure they’re always supervised. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship, or medication, I ensure they’re safe and happy until you return. Safety is my top priority when walking dogs. I ensure that dogs are always leashed and carefully monitored during walks. If your dog enjoys walks and is safe around children, I can bring them along on my daily walks with my daughter. For dogs that require more individualized attention, I provide solo walks in quiet, pet-friendly areas to keep them safe. While house sitting, I make sure your pet stays safe and secure in your home, following their routine to minimize any stress. I also keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and take care of light tasks like watering plants. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
“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 had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
About: We're conveniently located just off of hwy 401 and near I-95 and I-40. I've always had family pets since I was the age of 2. I've cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I've been a midwife to many previous cats, bottle fed, watched live births of pups, and administered oral medications. I am always available for play time and snuggle time. I currently work part-time and am only away for 6 hours during the day. During this time my husband or my teen are usually home for part of that time. It's perfect because our pets aren't left all alone for very long. I have 2 dogs, one is playful and one is very relaxed. They have been around other dogs a number of times and loves playing at the dog park. They are friendly. At night our dogs are able to go upstairs and sleep in our room. During your pups stay, they are welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. We have a spare room downstairs that I'm happy to stay in if they need that (my dogs take up our whole bed upstairs). If your pup is crate trained and prefers their crate, I suggest you bring it for their stay so they can feel more at 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.”
“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: To be perfectly honest I don't have any special skills with puppies/dogs, I just LOVE THEM! I have always loved dogs and have cared for friends and family furry friends☺️ I'm okay with short notice reservation within reason and I'm very strict on times we set for drop off and pick up. I can assure daily exercise,love,fun and top notch care for your pet. I hope you'll allow me the chance to give your pet some extra love and attention! You won't be sorry, I promise you. Woof woof! I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups!! My availability is very flexible. On weekends after noon I’m available for dog walking as well as on weekends after 3pm. I have a big neighborhood that’s super pet friendly, with lots of places to walk and enjoy the scenery. In my home your pets are allowed to be free and explore.
“Sheena took great care of our dogs! They had lots of fun in a safe environment and were totally pooped when we picked them up. Sheena is super friendly, had good communication, and you can tell just how much she loves dogs. Our dogs only spent the day with her, but she'll definitely see them again the next time we need doggy daycare!”
About: Ever since I was a baby all I can remember is having pets and caring for them. Walking them, feeding them, letting them outside and giving them love. I have 2 fur babies of my own who are beyond spoiled. I have trained my current 2 dogs and our family dog back home in Michigan, with potty training and basic commands. I’ve cared for dogs who need medications including my own pup who gets ear infections. I have a fenced in privacy fence backyard with a good amount of running room. I am currently not working so I’m a stay at home mom. I’m available all days of the week all hours and most holidays. This gives me and your fury friend plenty of time to play and be outdoors, or for me to spend extra time with them in your home. I have a fenced in back and front yard and two fur pups of my own. This can give your fur baby playmates as well as mine. I can easily accommodate to crates, special diets, medications and almost anything your fur friend needs. I have 2 totes of toys, and a 5 gallon water jug down at all times.
About: Im Casey and I just moved back from Georgia. I work from home Sunday - Wednesday and I’m off Thursday, Friday and Saturday which allows me to stay home with the fur babies. I have experience with pups and cats, I currently have a cat, Addison/addicat, that I am turning the sunroom into a catio for. The sunroom faces the backyard and has all of the warm spots for window hammocks, cat trees, scratch posts, and everything else a cat could ever need and love. 🐾 I work from home during the week which gives me availability to care for your pets 24 hours without having to leave them alone while working. We have a fenced in yard that allows our pets to roam, run and play without being able to leave the yard and end up in places they should not be. Our backyard has been “puppy” proofed since getting Sophie.
About: Hi there! I’m a mom and a graduate student, and I am so excited to be getting back to my roots doing what I love most—taking care of animals. My very first job back in the day was at a pet store caring for the puppies. I was the one making sure they were fed, bathed, and that their cages were spotless every single day, so I know exactly what it takes to keep animals happy and healthy. My love for animals doesn't stop at cats and dogs, though! I truly love all kinds of animals and have experience with everything from horses, goats, and chickens to our usual furry family members. When your pets are with me, they will be treated exactly like my own cat and dog—with tons of love, attention, and care. My Schedule & Home Because I’m a student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available during the day, nights, and weekends for whatever you need: Walks to get their energy out Drop-ins for quick potty breaks, feeding, and attention Overnights so they have company while you're away Plus, if your pups come to hang out at my place, I have a fully fenced-in yard where they can run around and play safely outside. I know how hard it is to leave your pets, so I’m happy to send you quick photo updates while you're gone so you know they are having a great time. I'd love to set up a quick meet-and-greet to make sure it's a perfect match for your fur baby! My schedule is very flexible, so I have a lot of free time during the day, nights, and weekends. I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnights, ensuring your pet gets plenty of attention and regular potty breaks. In my home, pets can play safely in a fully fenced yard. I have a dog and a cat of my own, but I can easily crate your dog if they prefer their own space. In your home, I strictly follow your routine to keep your pets safe, fed, and loved like my own.

“My boys can be a bit much when first meeting new people and the two together can be a little overwhelming.. Sandra has really been so good with them and they respond very well with her! We are thankful for her patience and the work she does with them ! Such a blessing for us!”
About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My dog is now a senior but we adopted her as a puppy. Due to my dogs age and health complications that come with it, I've gained experience with senior care. This includes light stretches, red light therapy, medication, etc. Watching her grow up gave me the incentive to support other pet parents by making sure their pets are taken care of while they're away. I've watched a family friend's 4 cats for the past 4 years, as well as 2 others. I enjoy what I do, and I'd love to extend my services to you! I'm currently working part-time, so outside of work, your pet will be my number one priority! I can stop by in the morning and afternoon for at least 1 hour each, spend quality time with them, clean up if necessary, and make sure they're comfortable for the evening before heading out. When I arrive, I'll greet your pet at the door or, if applicable, at their kennel. I'll look around and do any easy clean up, let them outside to potty or clean up litter boxes, make sure food and water are good, and then spend some quality time with your baby. I like to be active, so I'll take him/her on walks, play in the yard, or just chill about if they aren't keen on the sweat. Either way, I'll engage and make sure they're ok!
“Eric was on time, professional, and my dog adored him. For 30 minutes each day, he walked him and even got on the ground and played with him. I will certainly ask Eric to help out in the future when I need a walker again.”
About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

My animals are my babies and I understand yours are too. I have great recommendations and am very detailed oriented. I understand the risks with all animals and will make sure that your animal is properly cared for.

“Khaleesi and Tyreika are getting to know each other, and their friendship is off to a promising start! 🐾 On their first walk together, Khaleesi took her time getting comfortable, but she enjoyed exploring and spending time with her new walking buddy. We’ll be sharing updates as this new friendship continues to grow. ❤️🐶”
“This was Alexis’ first time with my dog Otis and she was a hit. She communicated appropriately and arrived at the time she promised. She provided multiple pictures of the activities and locked my house back up like I asked her to. All around positive experience!”
“Natalie is so kind and sweet. I went out of town for one night and scheduled her to come walk my dogs. My dogs loved her and she updated me with every walk. I trusted her with not only my dogs but with a key to my house. She was extremely professional and trustworthy. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.
About: I had a high-energy pointer/setter mix growing up and have always defaulted to caring for dogs as I did Jazzie--getting their energy out but knowing when they're tuckered. I commonly pet sit for my cousin and coworkers in Alaska where leashes were important to protect against wild animal encounters, so I can assure you I will be careful to get your pet home safe and happy! I currently work a mix of seasonal and rotational geology jobs in remote Alaska. My husband and I just moved here, so I'm finding a meaningful way to spend free time while staying active whenever I can! Happy to get out of the house when pets need! I am happy to follow detailed instructions on how you like your pet cared for including double checking all locks, gates, and fences. I will make sure they are properly leashed and a safe distance from others we meet on walks as well as providing as much or as little petting as they wish. I will treat them like my own and just hope to improve their day as they are improving mine.
About: I’m always available, don’t really have any special skills, pets love me, I have 6 cats and 2 dogs, the dogs stay outside during the day. I don’t mind dropping in and playing with your pets everyday. I don’t smoke or drink, If you choose me for overnight, I’ll probably have your pet sleeping with me, especially if they’re fluffy. I hope to get the chance to meet your pets! I’m currently unemployed, so I’m always home, I always have time for playing with and cuddling with your pets! They will always be exhausted and loved I would prefer to do an overnight in your home as to not stress your pets out too much! They will be very cared for
“She is awesome with my dog and always gives me a full update of how the walk went-any challenges, concerns or great news! Love having her as our regular walker for such a long time now.”
About: I have taken care of all different animals for family, friends and neighbors. I am a trust worthy person that your fur baby will love. Currently working from home so I have the time and space to properly care for your fur babies and their needs. I also have a fur baby myself so I know exactly what it’s like. I always ensure the pets comfort and trust and will always communicate with you. I make sure to look out for the animals cues and follow
About: Puppies need time, patience, and most of all fun! Most of the time, puppies are stripped away from their families and are just looking for their pack. It is very important to create a safe environment and show love towards dogs. They are our protectors, and we are their caregivers I am retired. Although my husband is in the military, I do have free time most of the week. I am more than willing to be flexible and to also be a routine caregiver. For both dogs and cats, I do have two cats and one dog. I understand that while my pets are family, they are all individuals. I will take the time to learn each pet as an individual and not generalize their species.
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
About: Hi my name is Gabby! I’m a lover of all animals and here to help you in anyway I can. I am 21 years old and a practicing veterinary technician. As an animal lover myself I own two loving dogs with friendly and playful personalities alongside two very friendly cats. Since I was 15 years old I have been pet sitting for numerous families and have always had an amazing experience with every furry friend. All animals are welcome with my services from small hamsters to large dogs I’d love to help any way I can. Please message me for all necessities during my services or accommodations that may be needed for your furry family member. Everyday I take care of my furry friends. My two dogs get their daily cuddles and plenty of food to feed their little bellies. We even like to go outside and play fetch when possible. Likewise, I love to hangout with my two cats. Playtime is our favorite time to bond and laugh. The well being of any animal is my number one priority. Weather it’s some extra cuddles or giving them some space, whatever your pawtner needs I’m here to help. I always like to introduce myself to the animals and make sure they feel comfortable with me first before we begin anything.

I highly recommend Jacquelyn for anyone looking to board their pets.”
