“Violette has such a kind spirit! From the time I dropped Phoebe off and picked her up - I knew Phoebe was in good hands. I received a lot of videos, pictures and updates which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Violette for your fur baby’s needs. Her professionalism and communication is top tier. I plan to book again if scheduling aligns :)”
“This was our first time ever leaving our baby with a complete stranger. We were nervous and hesitant. David gladly met us as a meet and greet to introduce our dog with his dog. As soon as we met him we knew we had found the perfect sitter for our VERY energetic vizsla. David is friendly and professional. He sent us picture updates throughout the week and even let our dog up on his bed and couch. He treats dogs as of they were their very own. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. We already booked him for next month! ”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“My little chihuahua had an amazing time boarding at David’s house! Communication was easy and seamless, and sent me lots of great photo updates throughout her stay. Would board her with David again anytime!”
“Joanna was awesome!!! Very attentive and patient with Harlem. Some days she even sent pictures of Harlem, which btw were SUPER CUTE. She made her a bandanna with a matching blanket. How cool is that. I’ll definitely be using her again as well as referring her to friends”
“Teresa is so pleasant. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our doggy was in good hands. I was happy to see the huge yard that the dogs could run and play. Definitely a 5 star sitter.”
“Puff had a wonderful stay with Halle and Thomas! They took great care of him and made him feel right at home. I am so happy that Puff made a new friend Molly😄, and it was so nice to see him enjoying himself and having a companion to play with. I was happy knowing he was in such a caring environment while I was away. Thank you, Halle and Thomas, for taking such great care of Puff. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have loved dogs since before my parents finally fulfilled my Christmas wish for a puppy when I was five. Since then, dogs have been a constant in my life and a crucial source of joy and fulfillment. Over the last decade I embraced the adult side of dog love by regularly dog sitting for friends and family and eventually adopting a dog of my own. Dogs have always been one of the best parts of my life and I look forward to meeting yours! I don't have a formal dog training certification, but I think my dog Rafiki would gladly give me one. I adopted Rafiki 7 years ago and he is wonderful. His special talents include spinning his tail like a helicopter and being the first dog that 'non-dog-lovers' actually enjoy. He was not always such a dream though. When he was a puppy he had all sorts of terrible habits that I won't get into (RIP tv remotes, shoes, untoppled drinks). I decided that I needed some help with this adorable rambunctious puppy and signed him up for day camp training with a trainer in Durham. Every day when I picked him up, the trainer would spend 30 minutes to an hour teaching me how to work with Rafiki. He taught me a million things and really opened my eyes on how interact with dogs, how to read their body language, and how to best communicate with them. Though I’m no expert, I’d be happy to reinforce any training or problem-solving you’re working on with your pup. I am also happy to just spend some quality time together making sure their time away from you is fun, safe and enriching. I would love the chance to take your pup on some walks and adventures while giving you the peace of mind of knowing they are in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care. I like to stay active and enjoy hikes and walks with our furry friends. My dog is able to come in and out as he pleases. We have a fenced in yard (front and back) with plenty of room to play.
“I was nervous to leave my dog for the first time ever, but it was like she was in a little dog daycare! I got daily updates and photos and could ask questions whenever. We had a wonderful experience.”
“Teresa was kind and accommodating, especially with our last minute request for a sitter! She took great care of our furbaby as evidenced by the happy demeanor of the regular photo updates and status. Our furbaby was instantly at ease with Teresa and we could tell that she would be treated just like she was her own. Highly recommend Teresa! 5 🐾 rating!”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.
“Shawn and Chuck were fabulous! They had a great setup at their home so it was easy to see Oliver fitting in their groove. We got multiple pictures and videos everyday and great communication before and during. I HIGHLY recommend them!”
“Jill and Annie really enjoyed their 2-week stay! They got a lot of outdoor time in large fenced in areas, and we got pics of them while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to use this Rover again!”
About: I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to hang out with your fur baby. I can do obedience training if requested, and all the treats I have are homemade with good ingredients and love:) I have a golden retriever myself. I take her out for potty at 6 in the morning, followed by food time and a longer walk around the neighborhood. While I work at home, I take my dog out to play every 1-2 hours. Five in the afternoon is our dog’s second meal. Then depending on the weather, I take my dog out for a long walk in the evening. I treat my clients’ pets as mine! I never leave pets unsupervised in the back yard, and since I work from home, I always keep an eye on the dog during the day. Treats are homemade with good ingredients and love, but make sure you let me know any allergies your fur babies have.

“Alex was wonderful!! He treated my 2 cats t like they were his own. He not only made sure their needs were taken care of but he played with them and interacted with them and loved on them. Thank you so so much Alex for treating my babies so well!!”
“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
About: Every cat has their own language, and I believe in listening to it with patience and deep respect. When I visit your home, I understand that I am a guest in their sacred space. Your home will never feel disturbed by an uninvited visitor; instead, it will be filled with an atmosphere of absolute trust and love.I never force attention or rush a shy soul; instead, I let them set the pace, offering a gentle hand and quiet presence until they feel safe. I love capturing their true essence through soulful photographs and deeply emotional little videos, reflecting their unique character just for you.I tend to their world with meticulous care—keeping their litter boxes pristine, their water fresh, and always keeping a vigilant eye on open doors to ensure your indoor explorer stays completely safe. While you are away, these daily snapshots and stories will keep you connected to their mood, appetite, and quiet moments, giving you complete peace of mind knowing their routine is unbroken and their heart is fully cared for.
About: I've been fortunate to have feline companions throughout my life. Cats seem to naturally gravitate towards me, and I thoroughly enjoy caring for them, whether it's meticulously cleaning their litter boxes or indulging them with daily grooming sessions. From nail trims to soothing baths, I'm adept at handling all their needs with care and attention.

Our own furry family includes a longhair Chihuahua we rescued as a pup, a Chow-Chow mix rescued from the woods, and two gentle Great Pyrenees who serve as our lovable outdoor guardians. Growing up with dogs, I can’t imagine life without them, and I’ve had the joy of dog-sitting for multiple families over the years. Your pups will be supervised at all times and safe when we step out for errands. Most dogs love the socialization here — it’s a blast to watch them play and make friends! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time to care for your dogs with plenty of love, attention, and snuggles. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family members into our home! Our property sits on 15 acres and is home to chickens, guinea fowl, and turkeys. The backyard is fully fenced, providing a safe, fun space for your pups to run, explore, and play. We have lots of dog toys available, so there’s no need to bring extras — we’ll keep your toys safe and avoid any mix-ups. 🕕 Hours: 6am–9pm (Flexible if you need early drop-offs or late pick-ups — just ask!) 🎁 Referral Bonus: Refer a friend who books a stay, and you’ll receive 1 free night for one of your dogs! We’d love to meet your pups and give them a safe, happy, and loving home-away-from-home. Feel free to reach out with any questions — thanks so much for checking out our profile! I'm home full time so we will mostly be here with your fur baby. If we do leave for a playground or errand it's for a short time. I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
“Fred had a long-term stay with David and his family while we were in the middle of a cross-country move. He had a meow-velous time and was returned to us happy and with new toys. Dave's kids treated him like one of their own and Fred loved his time with them. We were so relieved to have a comfortable, caring home-away-from-home so gave us piece of mind so that we could concentrate on selling our house, packing it up, waiting for the new house, move in and unpack -- a two-month process that avoided a lot of trauma for our cat and worrying for us. So happy that Dave was such a good fit!”
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”
About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
“Nicole is great with my baby and sent pictures everyday. She was available and happy to take care of my cat and I plan to use her services again come end of the month! Recommend her for sure!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love getting to know your pets and you! I’ve cared for dogs, birds, rabbits and cats of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease and your pet to feel happy and at home. I currently am in graduate school at Duke, so my schedule is flexible! That means I have plenty of time each day to play, walk, and care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live on 13 acres of beautiful land with backyard access to trails, which gives plenty of space for walks and outdoor playtime. While the area isn’t fenced, I always keep pets safe and supervised during any time outside. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your furry friends will have my full attention and plenty of company while they’re here. I also know many pets feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, so I’m always happy to care for them in your home. I primarily offer in-home sitting and make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“Was lucky enough to find a family who treated Lily as well as they did. Teresa was always available and when my schedule changed she was accommodating with last minute changes. Lots of outdoor play and she would send me updates throughout her stay. If I am ever in the area again I will 100% look her up to watch Lily.”

I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

About: Hi! I love all animals and pets. I grew up with guinea pigs, hamsters, and gerbils at home and have pet sat for cats and dogs since I was a kid. Since 2020, my family has been involved in a service dog organization. We have fostered and helped train and care for numerous puppies and adult dogs. In addition to puppy training, I also have experience with reactive dogs and giving pills. I'm comfortable with various energy levels and temperaments. I can follow specific routines, reinforce training, and provide both physical activity and mental stimulation to keep your dog happy and healthy. I am currently enjoying summer break and working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Cuddling with pets or getting outside for a walk would be easy and great additions to my day! I cannot board pets due to roommate allergies, but I am happy to care for your pet in your home. I am currently on summer break so my schedule has a lot of flexibility, including during the week and over weekends.

Doing a meet and greet and covering and special needs and preference will help me care for your pet the way that you need! I will exercise your pet or cuddle with them. I will walk your dog in your neighborhood, take them to a trail or to a park, play with them using their favorite toys, and help with training. The most important thing for me is that you and your pet are both happy and comfortable!
“So professional and helpful!! Highly recommend! David really went above and beyond, taking JuneBug on a nice long walk down along the river, and including lots of photos of her smiling face.”
About: I first started housesitting and pet sitting with the Rover app in 2020. I am comfortable and confident working with all sizes of dogs due to the wide variety of pets I cared for in Florida as well as Nebraska! A few of the services I provided were, dog walking, light dog grooming, basic gardening and housekeeping tasks. In one special case I cared for a miniature schnauzer with diabetes, I made sure his blood sugar was regular and gave him his insulin shot when needed. Like multiple other animals I’ve cared for I can follow their special diets if needed.. I’d love the opportunity to take of your pets and see what your city has to offer. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so I will have lots of extra time to play with your pets! I also plan on taking multiple walks throughout the day. I will be sure to maintain a safe environment for your pets while you are away! I will stick to their regular routines to help them feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

Service Abilities: I am a frequent pet sitter for clients all over North and South Carolina and have experience with check-ins, walks, boarding, overnight house-sitting or if you are comfortable, bringing your sweet pet to my home. I provide walking, feeding, exercising and caring for pups and kitties of all breeds, ages and sizes. I am also trained to administer any canine/feline medication including Insulin. I understand the love that owner’s have for their animals and the nervousness you feel when you have to travel away from your pet. Through my 15+ years of experience at an overnight animal boarding facility, I focus on establishing trust and will strive to make you feel comfortable enough to leave your pet in my care by being someone you can depend on. I communicate promptly and frequently so you always know how your pet is doing! I currently work from home so I have full availability on weekdays and weekends to watch and take care of your pup or kitty anytime! Whether you’re going on a last-minute trip or you’re looking for something consistent and routine-I am here for whatever you need! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions and I’m sure we can set something up that’s perfect for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in dog park in front of my home that your pup and kitty can go out to play and potty and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can take them to the public dog park right down the road. I live in a large neighborhood so long, sunny and breezy walks will be part of their day too! I currently work from home so I am available 24/7. Your pup or kitty will receive around the clock care and attention from me. I strive to give them just as much of a vacation as you are experiencing when you drop them off with me! I do not have any children in my home so your pup or kitty will be free to roam! I provide dog and cat beds, food and water bowls and lots of toys and treats (only if you approve as I will be mindful of your pet’s dietary needs and any allergies). If I am checking in or house sitting for you, your home will be treated with the utmost respect. I do daily cleaning, will gather any mail and packages and will leave your home spotless!
About: I've always had pets since I was a child, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for those of family and friends, and volunteering over the years. Currently, I work from home, and my hobbies include going to the gym, reading, driving to the park, working on my own business, and hiking. I would be more than happy to look after your pets while you are away! I genuinely enjoy taking care of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I appreciate long walks, giving pets gentle scratches, playing fetch repeatedly, and treating your pets as I would want my own to be treated. I work from home with a flexible schedule. In my remote role, I provide pet-sitting services, caring for your pets in your home as if they were my own. I guarantee that your pets will never be left alone for more than four hours at a time. For pets that are particularly attached to their owners, I understand that they cannot be left alone during my time taking care of them. I can stay with them 24/7. - Travel to customers’ homes to visit their pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and other animals. - Feed and provide fresh water to pets according to customer instructions regarding preparation, quantity, and timing. - Exercise pets through leashed walks and playtime activities. - Administer supplements and medications to pets, either mixed in food or by other appropriate means. - Collect and dispose of pet waste, which includes cleaning and refreshing kitty litter for cats, changing cage paper for birds, and picking up trash during dog walks. - Document pet care services with dates, times, and details clearly and professionally.
About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

“Violette has such a kind spirit! From the time I dropped Phoebe off and picked her up - I knew Phoebe was in good hands. I received a lot of videos, pictures and updates which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Violette for your fur baby’s needs. Her professionalism and communication is top tier. I plan to book again if scheduling aligns :)”
“This was our first time ever leaving our baby with a complete stranger. We were nervous and hesitant. David gladly met us as a meet and greet to introduce our dog with his dog. As soon as we met him we knew we had found the perfect sitter for our VERY energetic vizsla. David is friendly and professional. He sent us picture updates throughout the week and even let our dog up on his bed and couch. He treats dogs as of they were their very own. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. We already booked him for next month! ”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! My rabbit Jeff had the time of his life with Amber and seems rather disappointed now to be back home with us. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Katrin is so good with my anxious Wes. She’s super communicative with me, always sending pics & vids. She even added in an extra day of care when my flight got delayed.”
“My little chihuahua had an amazing time boarding at David’s house! Communication was easy and seamless, and sent me lots of great photo updates throughout her stay. Would board her with David again anytime!”
“Joanna was awesome!!! Very attentive and patient with Harlem. Some days she even sent pictures of Harlem, which btw were SUPER CUTE. She made her a bandanna with a matching blanket. How cool is that. I’ll definitely be using her again as well as referring her to friends”
“Puff had a wonderful stay with Halle and Thomas! They took great care of him and made him feel right at home. I am so happy that Puff made a new friend Molly😄, and it was so nice to see him enjoying himself and having a companion to play with. I was happy knowing he was in such a caring environment while I was away. Thank you, Halle and Thomas, for taking such great care of Puff. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have loved dogs since before my parents finally fulfilled my Christmas wish for a puppy when I was five. Since then, dogs have been a constant in my life and a crucial source of joy and fulfillment. Over the last decade I embraced the adult side of dog love by regularly dog sitting for friends and family and eventually adopting a dog of my own. Dogs have always been one of the best parts of my life and I look forward to meeting yours! I don't have a formal dog training certification, but I think my dog Rafiki would gladly give me one. I adopted Rafiki 7 years ago and he is wonderful. His special talents include spinning his tail like a helicopter and being the first dog that 'non-dog-lovers' actually enjoy. He was not always such a dream though. When he was a puppy he had all sorts of terrible habits that I won't get into (RIP tv remotes, shoes, untoppled drinks). I decided that I needed some help with this adorable rambunctious puppy and signed him up for day camp training with a trainer in Durham. Every day when I picked him up, the trainer would spend 30 minutes to an hour teaching me how to work with Rafiki. He taught me a million things and really opened my eyes on how interact with dogs, how to read their body language, and how to best communicate with them. Though I’m no expert, I’d be happy to reinforce any training or problem-solving you’re working on with your pup. I am also happy to just spend some quality time together making sure their time away from you is fun, safe and enriching. I would love the chance to take your pup on some walks and adventures while giving you the peace of mind of knowing they are in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care. I like to stay active and enjoy hikes and walks with our furry friends. My dog is able to come in and out as he pleases. We have a fenced in yard (front and back) with plenty of room to play.
“I was nervous to leave my dog for the first time ever, but it was like she was in a little dog daycare! I got daily updates and photos and could ask questions whenever. We had a wonderful experience.”
“Teresa was kind and accommodating, especially with our last minute request for a sitter! She took great care of our furbaby as evidenced by the happy demeanor of the regular photo updates and status. Our furbaby was instantly at ease with Teresa and we could tell that she would be treated just like she was her own. Highly recommend Teresa! 5 🐾 rating!”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.
“Shawn and Chuck were fabulous! They had a great setup at their home so it was easy to see Oliver fitting in their groove. We got multiple pictures and videos everyday and great communication before and during. I HIGHLY recommend them!”
“Jill and Annie really enjoyed their 2-week stay! They got a lot of outdoor time in large fenced in areas, and we got pics of them while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to use this Rover again!”
About: I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to hang out with your fur baby. I can do obedience training if requested, and all the treats I have are homemade with good ingredients and love:) I have a golden retriever myself. I take her out for potty at 6 in the morning, followed by food time and a longer walk around the neighborhood. While I work at home, I take my dog out to play every 1-2 hours. Five in the afternoon is our dog’s second meal. Then depending on the weather, I take my dog out for a long walk in the evening. I treat my clients’ pets as mine! I never leave pets unsupervised in the back yard, and since I work from home, I always keep an eye on the dog during the day. Treats are homemade with good ingredients and love, but make sure you let me know any allergies your fur babies have.
“We were very pleased with our dog's care over a 10 day stay! She looks healthy. She looks happy! We were given constant updates and pictures and kept apprised as to how she was doing. We have lived in this area for a year so we knew nobody regarding dog boarding. I'm so thankful for the care that our dog was given while we were away. I would definitely use Scott C. again for the exceptional service and consideration of our dog.”
About: I have had dogs,cats, hamsters and rabbits my whole life. I care for them like family. I’m the go to pet sitter for family and friends. I work from home as a nurse. So it is very easy for me to fit your furry friend into the schedule. Hope to hear from you soon! I will abide by your rules for your pet and care for them as you would. I will be considerate of your space and the comfort of your pet.
