“Lane is great! My dog was well taken care of while my family and I were on vacation for 1 week! Will be using Lane again in the future! Also the daily picture updates are a plus but very grateful for those pictures daily!”
“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“This was my first experience with Jimena and I have to say I give her 10/10. My shy doggy had so much fun with her and the other dogs -- he was not bored at all since he could play all day long if he wanted. I will definitely bring my Beauregard back here again. The facility for the dogs is spotless and very well taken care of. We did not have to worry about him at all and we could tune into Facebook to watch videos of the dogs. Jimena also sent us some private videos and we were very grateful that she did that. She is very kind and I would trust her with my baby any time. I know BR is looking forward to a return stay so he can play! Thank you very much!!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! Miss Olivia did great and I was updated numerous times a day which helped my kids and I from being away from our precious puppy. We will most definitely use her for any future trips.”
“We were attending a festival and found ourselves in a desperate situation. The Rover we had scheduled with way in advance had to back out because of personal issues. Jill accepted Monty with only one day notice. Her home is up on a hill and her land is a dog's paradise. Jill sent lots of pictures and was communicative...which completely eased our minds. I highly recommend Jill for pet care and saved her info so I can use her next time we come to the area!”
“Elizabeth was the perfect sitter for my dog! My puppy is pretty hyper and I was looking for someone that could handle all that energy. Elizabeth responded immediately and kept me updated with photos the whole time. And my pup loved her!”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
“My dog, Kira, was well cared for during her 9‑day stay. I received daily photos and updates, and she came home happy and relaxed. She was clearly treated like one of their own, and communication was great throughout. I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would book again.”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Laura took great care of our dog Bailey. She was very kind, accommodating, and understanding when we had to change our booking in the last minute. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how Bailey was doing. Bailey had a surgery recently and Laura helped her to fully recover. We would definitely recommend Laura to take excellent care of your furry friend.”

I will follow the instructions given and always ask the owner first before an action if unsure.

“Helped me out with my dog for a whole weekend short notice. Sherrie and her husband were really nice and down to earth and they took great care of Baxter and he made some new friends. Will hopefully use them again in the near future.”

“Caitlin has done such a great job with our cats! She arrived during the scheduled time every evening, took lots of pictures of the kitties, and communicated with me daily.

“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”

About: I have had many different kinds of pets throughout my childhood up into my young adulthood , I have had many years of experience of taking care of them and their individual needs along with caring for family friends pets as well and pet sitting when needed!! I am a full time college student ,however I do my classes online and only work part time in retail. Leaving plenty of time for me to give your fur babies the care and attention as if I were their owner! I am off on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s as of now so that is my only availability for boarding at the moment. I would feel more comfortable if I was supplied with a leash to take your dogs out for breaks , unless they are trained , my yard is not fenced in and would hate if anything were to happen.
About: I’ve worked in a farm and with animals of all kind. I have worked with farm animals, cats and dogs. I have also administered medications.

About: I have personal experience rehabilitating and accommodating rescue dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and behaviors. I have fostered and adopted dogs with behavior problems, health issues and have owned working breeds as well. I can find fun and unique places to hike, walk or swim with your dog around the Green Bay Area that accommodate varied preferences of stimuli levels. I work at nighttime, so I'm available mornings and afternoons when many people need the most help with their pets. I am consistently available all day on Sundays and Mondays. If there's one thing my rescues have taught me, it's that all dogs are individuals. I understand that your companion may need unique accommodations to assure that their specific needs are being met.

I’ve been taking care of dogs for several years and have experience with breeds ranging from French Bulldogs to medium-sized mixed breeds. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs—whether it’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just hanging out together. As a student-athlete with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets—especially for walks, drop-ins, or weekend boarding.

I live in Statesville and offer pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I always prioritize safety and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and healthy. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and committed to treating your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Now that I’m older I’ve had plenty experience caring for them whether that be pet sitting for friends and family or in my line of work. Something that will set me apart from other sitters you may come across is my experience working at a kennel. This includes specifically working with service dogs, boarding pets, and k9 working. I’ve worked with a variety of dog breeds, ages and behaviors, meaning I can cater to whatever your pets needs :) Since I work as a kennel technician, being with and caring for animals is practically second nature to me. Being able to pet sit would be right up my alley and perfect for the experience I have. Your pet is 100% guaranteed to get the best care I can provide. To list a few this includes always having fresh water, appropriate exercise, meals according to their routine, cleaning up any messes, administering any medication and of course lots of attention. Pet behavior will also be monitored and you will receive ample updates on anything and everything going on with your fur baby.
About: I stand out through my dedication to delivering unparalleled care tailored to the unique needs of every dog. With specialized expertise in training puppies and providing attentive senior care, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention, ensuring each furry client receives nurturing and enriching experiences. My commitment to fostering strong bonds and creating positive, memorable interactions sets me apart as a compassionate and trusted caregiver at Rover. I am retired and looking for walking activities to keep me busy with the things I enjoy the most, PETS!! I love being around them as much as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, well-being, and adherence to any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Here’s how I approach different pet care services: Dog Sitting: Daily Routine: I maintain the dog's regular feeding schedule, ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Exercise and Play: I engage the dog in activities they enjoy, such as walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them active and happy. Comfort: I provide cozy resting areas and ensure the environment is safe and secure. Medication: If required, I administer medications according to the owner's instructions. Dog Walking: Safety First: Before the walk, I check equipment like leashes and harnesses to ensure they are secure.

Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior during walks.
About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)

About: I LOVE animals. I was raised around animals from babies to adults so I am familiar with the processes from raising a baby to an elderly animal (cats, dogs, cows, horses, etc.) I have also volunteered at several animal shelters. I am currently raising two sweet pups of my own, Luna and Ranger. I have trained all of my animals and I’m extremely patient. I also know ASL, if needed to communicate. I am a full-time interpreter, but working with animals calms my stress. I understand situations come up, so I am extremely flexible. The world is a better place because of the animals in it, so it is important to me that they are treated as such. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

“Lane is great! My dog was well taken care of while my family and I were on vacation for 1 week! Will be using Lane again in the future! Also the daily picture updates are a plus but very grateful for those pictures daily!”
“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“This was my first experience with Jimena and I have to say I give her 10/10. My shy doggy had so much fun with her and the other dogs -- he was not bored at all since he could play all day long if he wanted. I will definitely bring my Beauregard back here again. The facility for the dogs is spotless and very well taken care of. We did not have to worry about him at all and we could tune into Facebook to watch videos of the dogs. Jimena also sent us some private videos and we were very grateful that she did that. She is very kind and I would trust her with my baby any time. I know BR is looking forward to a return stay so he can play! Thank you very much!!”
“We were attending a festival and found ourselves in a desperate situation. The Rover we had scheduled with way in advance had to back out because of personal issues. Jill accepted Monty with only one day notice. Her home is up on a hill and her land is a dog's paradise. Jill sent lots of pictures and was communicative...which completely eased our minds. I highly recommend Jill for pet care and saved her info so I can use her next time we come to the area!”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Laura took great care of our dog Bailey. She was very kind, accommodating, and understanding when we had to change our booking in the last minute. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how Bailey was doing. Bailey had a surgery recently and Laura helped her to fully recover. We would definitely recommend Laura to take excellent care of your furry friend.”
“Best dog sitter we've ever had. Our dog seemed to love all the other animals and Tanya gave our dog Bummer extra attention. Bummer may have found a second home. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been a dog sitter for 6 years! I love dogs because sometimes they’re easier to talk to than humans. I would love to meet your furry friends! PM me for any further questions. I am free 7 days a week to care for you. I am a college student but I only have class 2 days a week from 9-10:15am. I have a huge front yard which is not fenced in but I live 2 minutes from a fenced in park! My house is dog proof!
About: “I’ve had dogs as companions since I was a child, and they’ve always been cherished members of my family. I treat every animal in my care like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.” “Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not just a job, but something I truly love. Living in the Appalachian mountains has taught me the value of a calm, grounded lifestyle, and I bring that same peaceful energy into the care I provide. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, elderly, or needing extra comfort while you’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, loved, and at home in my care.” “I care for every pet with the same attentiveness and love that I give my own children. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I work hard to create a calm, dependable environment where pets feel secure and cared for.
“Heather was absolutely amazing with my doggie! Kept in touch and sent lots of pictures. My doggie had a blast and made a new bestie. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“Lawrence was great. He sent pics, video, and updates, and he took great care of my baby. You can tell he really cares about animals. I highly recommend him for your petsitting needs.”
“Helped me out with my dog for a whole weekend short notice. Sherrie and her husband were really nice and down to earth and they took great care of Baxter and he made some new friends. Will hopefully use them again in the near future.”
About: Picture this: you love your working breed dog... but they can be a boarder's nightmare. Does it make you nervous that they won't get enough stimulation while you're away? You can rest assured dogs with me will get 2-3 miles of trails a day along with 2+ hours (more on weekends!) of supervised play time with an equally energetic husky. Along with structured crate time to decompress. I've dealt with the worst of leash pullers and have trained my own dogs with high expectations of good behavior. You don't have to worry about your pup loosing manners or reverting to bad behaviors while you're away! I can reinforce proper training while he/she enjoys vacation at a beautiful hideaway with miles of private woods, right on the lake for some water play when it's hot! Your pet's schedule: 7-9am: breakfast! 1-2 miles of trails 9-12pm: crate time with options of mental stimulation toys and food toys 12-1pm: potty break and inside or outside supervised play time with my dog 1-5pm: crate time 5pm: dinner time and evening walks 6pm-bedtime: supervised time around the house, options to interact with other pets, myself, household members. Bedtime: crate or bed if they prefer Note: this is based on my regular daily work schedule for weekdays and weekends. Some flexibility on time frames, excersize amounts, etc are possible. Just ask and let's see if can work something out! I have a high focus on making sure every animal gets adequate amounts of physical and mental stimulation. If your dog has needs outside of what I have listed, let's have a conversation! Crating is required while I or my husband is not in the house. Your dog will be crated in a low stimulation environment away from other animals for proper decompression time. And will never be longer than 4 hours during the day.
About: I have over four years of hands on experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I’ve cared for animals of all types, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive care—especially for geriatric and special-needs pets who require extra patience and understanding. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work full time but I am able to leave for lunch and take care of your precious pets! If they need 24/7 care they can come with me to work and get to go outside as many times as they need. I have a front yard that is fenced and I am in walking distance to the dog park if that is something that your dog loves. At clients home I will stick to your pets normal routine.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for family and friends. I’ve been trusted to feed them, check in, stay the night with them, walk them, and give them all the love they need I also have a part-time job but I’m usually home and have lots of time to look after any fur babies needed and give them all the attention. I have a very docile chihuahua and two cats. They all usually stay outside and they’re great with other animals. I have a big back yard for animals to run and play in. We also keep our chickens in the back yard but they stay in the coup so they don’t bother anyone
“Amanda was wonderful. She was so easy and flexible with our meet and greet. Sent pictures and updates on McKenzie. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing McKenzie was happy playing with her dog and snuggling with her boys. You know your dog was happy when she wasn’t in any hurry to get in the car to go home. I will absolutely use Amanda again!”
