About: I love to care for dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 4 years old. I have friends and family asked and relied on me to walk, feed, and/or bathe their pets. I’m a retired veteran, so I’m fortunate enough to have the time to attend and care to your fur babies’ needs. I’ll be able to visit your pet anytime of the week with a proper notice. I can visit your home to care for your pet. I’ll be able to take them on walks or dog parks. I also have a personal companion dog (morkie) that can provide a perfect playmate.

About: I’m a mom of one boy, and one boy cat (neutered). I love all fur babies like they were my human babies. I dog sat for 6 Dalmatians at once, for 2 years, and it was a great experience! Trust me to take care of your babies, and you’ll become like family too. Willing to bathe and brush, minimal nail clipping if desired (extra services not included in base pricing). Also available for walks if needed. My son is well aware of the proper way to care for and handle animals, he may just love them too much! Let’s chat and discuss how I can help you feel comfortable with leaving your precious pets in my care. Ready to meet your littles and have a blast with them!! I am going back to college to finish my BS, Business Management, and looking to support my family financially through spending time with pets-which can easily be done as a remote student. I have experience in working with senior dogs, administering medications, and going above and beyond to look after special needs. I have stayed in homes over night on extended stays

Roanoke Rapids, NC, 27870

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

About: I have over 7 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician and small animal groomer. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing signs of illness or stress, and handling dogs safely and calmly. I focus on routine, structure, and positive, low-stress care so your dog feels secure and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, medications, and extended care without time constraints. With my background as a veterinary technician, safety and attention to detail are second nature to me. I carefully follow all owner instructions, monitor eating, litter habits, and behavior, and watch for early signs of illness or distress. I ensure doors and windows are secure, maintain a clean environment, and treat every home with respect. I communicate promptly and clearly so you feel confident your cat is in experienced, capable hands.

About: I’ve had experience taking care of small animals and big animals since I grew up with both. I currently have older dogs at the house but I also have a pup of my own here as well. I am currently not employed and love to work with animals so this is what I chose to do, I love taking care of animals and always have. I’m very used to taking animals out on walks, feeding them, and loving on them since that is what I do with my own. I treat others animals the same way I’d want mine to be treated.

About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.

About: I have built my life around loving and caring for animals. I have been with my local SPCA for 11 years and have been president for 8 years. My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.

Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.

About: I have been lucky enough to care for, look after, love, walk, feed, play with, and overall enjoy animals for my whole life. I have always lived with dogs and I have been sitting for cats since I was a teenager. I’d be happy to lend a hand to make sure your furry family member is more comfortable and content while you’re away. I am very flexible with both my work and personal schedules, so I can typically fit requests into my day, no problem. Each day is different, of course, but I am happy to work with you to make care for your pet happen when you need it to. I pride myself on the high level of care and attention I give to my pets, and that level will be just as high for yours. All I need is clear instruction and info on your pet, and whatever you need to have happen will happen. I’m a private person, and I respect yours as well, so when I am in someone else’s home I apply a leave-no-trace policy.
