About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I am that weird dog lady - who brought my husband, Kevin, along for the ride. My clothes are always covered in white fur from one of my fur children, it is my favorite accessory. I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers and have a rescue terrier mix. I have had dogs my entire life but had my very own dog by 10 years old. I have 2 acre fenced lot located in Wake Forest, I absolutely love to watch my 3 dogs and two human kiddos enjoy the outdoors! We would love to help watch your pups at a affordable rate while you vacation. I have potty trained, given medication to, and loved many puppies in my life. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! My family and I look forward to meeting with you! My husband and I both work full-time jobs, we rotate our days working remotely. We wouldn’t have any schedule conflicts with our ability to safety care for your pup. We will be boarding dogs in our house. We are a huge animal loving family, this means our pups and yours will be included in our everyday life.

About: With over a decade of hands on experience in pet sitting and training, I bring a level of care and professionalism that goes beyond the average sitter. I’m a nationally certified trainer for working dogs specializing in odor detection, and I’ve dedicated years to understanding canine behavior, obedience, and effective training techniques. I’ve personally owned dogs for over 15 years and have had the privilege of helping countless pet families care for their dogs, cats, fish, and more. Whether it’s puppy training, obedience work, or senior pet care, I’m confident handling pets of all temperaments and needs. My background in training allows me to reinforce positive behaviors while ensuring each pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for in your absence. What sets me apart is my ability to blend professional level training with a personal touch. I treat every animal like my own with respect, structure, and plenty of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Between owning dogs, training working dogs, and helping others with their pets, it’s something I naturally prioritize. My flexible schedule allows me to give animals the time, structure, and attention they need whether it’s daily walks, training, or overnight care. In both my home and clients' homes, I focus on creating a safe, structured, and calm environment. I stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any training or medication needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every pet like family.

“Leah did such an AMAZING job with my dogs. My plans changed last minute and she was so sweet and flexible. I will definitely be a repeat customer. In fact, she'll be watching them again this weekend! I highly recommend Leah!”


“Eva was a pure joy & did a fabulous job with our pups! She was punctual, friendly & attentive. We really appreciated how she kept us updated with daily messages & pics. This was the first time we used Rover rather than boarding in a kennel & it definitely won’t be our last..especially if Eva is available!”


About: I have always loved animals since I was a small child. I grew up helping to take care of my family's dog as well as pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I worked at an animal rescue through college as an animal care team member and adoption counselor. After I graduated, I started out working in animal hospital as a kennel and day camp assistant. I worked my way up in the veterinary hospital field from kennel to day camp to veterinary assistant and I have been professionally working with animals for the last 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats and some pocket pets. I work with outpatient appointments and assist in surgeries at my current animal hospital and oversee all surgery appointments as their Surgery Coordinator. I can give medication, both oral and injectable. I have experience taking care of special need animals as well as pets with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and kidney disease. Working with animals has taught me how to understand their behaviors as well as their needs, both medically and mentally. I can take care of young puppies and kittens to older senior pets. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and breeds as well. I work full time in Raleigh at a local animal hospital but offer visits before work, after work and a little later in the night for a last minute potty breaks, medications or cuddles if needed during the week. I also have afternoon availabity on weekends for additional visits or walks as well. I enjoy spending time with the pets I care for as if they are my own so they have my all of my attention while we’re together. I am currently working full time at a local animal hospital so I am available in the mornings and evenings. I spend time with my current clients before I head to work in the morning and after leave work in the late afternoon or early evening, and I can do a late night visit as well. On weekends and occasionally during the week when I am off of work, I can also offer an early afternoon visit as well. I currently offer home visits and dog walks. I make sure to take time to understand the needs that your pet. I will provide updates and photos to each client as well while I am with their pet.

“10 stars would be perfect! Katie was on time, sent lots of updates and took great pictures of our cat every day. We didn’t have to worry about her once because we knew she was in good hands!”

Sara was absolutely wonderful taking care of our pets. I came home to very happy and well taken care of animals. It was nice to go on vacation and not have any worries on whether the animals were ok or not. I highly recommend Sara to anyone, she is a very caring and professional person

Meredith has taken care of my boys Boxy & Midnight like her own! She was always on time & shared updates, pictures and kept us well informed. She monitored them very closely and made sure they well healthy and happy :) I would definitely recommend her. Thanks Meredith for all the help on a last minute request we really appreciate it!

Sue was fantastic! She took great care of our 2 kitties. We have 1 cat that is more skiddish and usually hides with new people; but she was hanging out with Sue by the 2nd visit! She also took nice pictures and gave great updates. Would definitely recommend Sue!

Kathleen did drop on visits with our two dogs while we were out of town, and she was phenomenal to work with! She communicated so well, and sent tons of pictures of them. I felt like they were in such great hands and getting lots of love while we were away! I will definitely re book with her!
