“I can’t say enough good things about Brittany! She went out of her way—literally—to come walk my dog Lola, and I truly appreciate the extra effort. Lola clearly loved her time with her. The walk went smoothly, and I could tell Lola was happy and well-cared-for. It’s such a relief to know your pet is in good hands. Highly recommend”

“Rickyia was phenomenal,she was super knowledgeable and friendly with the dogs.I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again sometime in the near future..”

About: I have taken care of, walked, fed and overnighted with the pets of family, friends and neighbors for 5 years now and love each pet as if they were my own. I have worked at a local bird rescue for 5 years and love each birds unique personality! I will treat your loved babies with the same affection and tenderness as my own little fur baby! I just finished up working for a local bird rescue. Although I loved my time there, it was time to move on, so my days are my own now and I have the time to dedicate to your fur baby! I will play with your baby in your fenced in yard (if your property id fenced in) or take them for long walks in your neighborhood. I am also comfortable with taking your baby to local dog parks if that is something you are comfortable with.
“Jen and her young daughter took care of Duke while my family and I were away for 10 days. Duke is usually shy , doesn't play or eat much when we anre away. Not this time! He was so happy with them! It's like he knew them for so long! Highly recommend! This is my second time using Jen. So glad we found her!”

“Took such great care of our pup over a weekend. She was very happy and made a new friend! Great communicator, kept me updated throughout, lots of pics. Thank you Justin!”

About: We have over 10 years of experience in pet sitting. Our love for animals drives us to give them the attention and care they deserve. We understand each pet's unique needs, whether it's administering medication, comforting anxious pets, or simply playing with them. Our commitment to their well-being and happiness ensures they feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. We understand that leaving your beloved pup alone while you're away for vacation or tied up with work can be a source of stress and worry. That's where we come in! We're a dedicated duo that works from home and is passionate about providing a loving and caring environment for dogs of all ages. We offer constant companionship, supervision, and daily walks for furry friends in our care. Our priority is to provide exciting adventures that keep tails wagging and hearts full, including playtime, cuddles, and exploring new trails. We absolutely adore our playful pup, Winter, and we make sure to give her plenty of love and attention every day. That includes taking her for 2-3 walks so she can stretch her legs and providing her with a cozy bed (or four!) for all her well-deserved naps.
“Jeff, you are awesome! Thank you for the long walk and for adding in fun obstacles for Otie to stimulate his need for novelty and to give him some added “brain fun”! Much appreciated:)”

About: I have been around animals my whole life and have a deep love and respect for all animals. I believe that they should be treated like family members and to give them everything possible to live their best life. As an adult, I have lovingly raised four dogs and five cats, most of them from the time they were kittens and puppies and into their senior years. In our journey together, I have administered vitamins, supplements and medications to help in their growth and development, as well as in their golden years. I'm full-time at home and available at all times for all of your pets needs. This includes dog walks, pet in-home visits for dogs and cats, pet sitting and boarding during the day, evenings and weekends, as well as administering medication I am even available to house-sit if needed. My pets are my fur babies. Their safety is my number one priority. I take extra precautions to make sure that their environment is completely safe and peaceful. On walks, I make sure to have the appropriate safety measures in place.
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
About: Hey I’m Andrew! I’m relatively new to North Carolina but not with pets! I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life as my family and I love them! I currently have two Golden doodles, a Pomeranian mix, a Pekingese, and 3 cats so I understand the attention and care each one individually needs. I was born and raised in Florida, played baseball for 17 years both Highschool and travel ball and a year ago moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and want to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at Persmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, you are more than welcome to message me and we will work something out! :) Well, I work at a pet store Wednesday through Saturday so I’m always involved with pets necessity’s and desires. I also own a cat myself who I love and adore lol. On working days, Before and after work I would be suiting your pets needs based on your discretion and on days I wouldn’t be working I would be at your house full time! I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves I’m all for it!
About: As the granddaughter of a Military Working Dog Handler and Trainer, I have been around dogs of varying breeds and drives my entire life. I have handled dogs in an all-life stages from newborn to senior and most recently have spent my time raising/training a Service Dog in Training from the age of 12 weeks old. I currently reside with my dear friend who is a professional, certified dog trainer who works with dogs of all types and has been teaching me so much. Additionally, I have worked in veterinary environments and am familiar with safe handling protocols using a variety of holds and tools. In my "free time" I can be found showing with my own crew in AKC Conformation as well as trialing in NASHDA Shed Hunts, AKC Obedience, and AKC Scent Work. As I primarily work freelance at the moment, my schedule is wide open to offer the best and most convenient service times for pets and pet parents. Each dog is different and will have different needs and wants when it comes to safe practices and handling. I make it my mission to make sure I have communicated with pet parents what their base expectations are for care including gear types, current training, training goals, tools used, food and treats, allergies, crate or bed needs, etc. so that they can be as comfortable with me as possible.
About: I currently have 12 dogs of all sizes, I love being around dogs and feel confident in my ability to handle any size or breed. I've worked around animals for over 6 years including at a dog grooming salon and animal hospital so I can bathe and brush any pup (or cat) who needs it as well as provide basic medical care needs. I am out of school for the winter break so I have plenty of time to visit and love on all of your furry friends. I will only do drop in visits or overnight stays as I have so many animals it may be stressful for your pet to be at my house, however, during these visits I can feed, walk, play, groom, and snuggle your baby(ies) while I am there! I will also send pictures and videos if you would like.
About: I have 10 plus years of experience caring for friends and neighbors pets, I also have 5 years experience as a dog groomer, so I know how to care for any dog or cat! I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily make sure your baby is taken care of all day long! I am never out of the house for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a lovely fenced in yard, and a covered patio. I have a big open floor plan for the dogs to chill inside as well! Feedings as often as they require, and treats of that’s okay with the pet parent! Also access to water 24/7 I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to make sure your fur baby has all the love and attention they need! I have a lovely fenced in yard, I provide water all day long as needed, they will get snuggles from me, and played with all day! My number-one priority is the comfort of your pet.
About: Hello Rover Community! I took a long break from dog walking and sitting due to the birth of my son, but I’m back and ready to get going again for all your amazing pups (that’s should explain my low response rate 😂)! I believe that trust worthy, experienced and proper care for your pet, shouldn’t be a nightmare for your wallet. I would be thrilled to have the honor of taking care of your friendly pooch. I am based in Waxhaw, NC and me and my wife would love to be of service! Reach out for any questions and we look forward to serving you! I work from home so I am available everyday to help take your dog out for their daily walks. I’ll be able to give them plenty of time and attention. While I do live in an apartment, there’s tons of walking space and a Greenway, right across the street where I take my puppy on his daily walks. My apartment is also spacious and your pooch would be in great hands.
“Vivi is amazing. I had never used Rover before and I was in a bind. I was out of town and needed someone to walk my two boys. She responded to my request quickly and kept me up to date on the walk. I will definitely be using her moving forward.”
