About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

“Somyr did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs will bark your head off and I was a little nervous. After a few treats she told me he was fine and that was amazing to hear and let me know he was comfortable with her. I received the cutest pictures and will be booking again!”


About: A Rover sitter for over 2 years, I've had many pets in my life As a retiree, I'm free to share love and attention to others' pets of all kinds and have several years of sitting experience. Multiple animals are fine. Any size dog. Services available for Moore County. Comfortable with sick ones and able to follow any medical practices you have. I am highly trustworthy and follow your rules. I'm available for in-home sitting for up to 2 weeks; drop-ins while you're out; walking services as calendar allows. Weekend and holiday availability. I'm sensible, quiet, pleasant, clean and it would be just me. Hobbies include sewing and crafts. Hope to be a help to you and your pets. (I'm in this for the bonus dog kisses!) Thank you for reading. My schedule is posted and, if possible, I can accommodate walks and drop-in visits if I am overnight locally.I'm involved with an airborne volunteer organization and have flying days here and there. Early riser, physically fit and active. I follow the daily routines already set by the client: walk, bed, feeding times, etc. Knowing what the pet is like ahead of time is important. I need to know temperament, restrictions, types of exercise desired, what to feed/not feed, how we will communicate, your house rules, etc.

I do however have a closed in patio at my home, hardwood floors and loving cats (plus my mothers friendly dog) at home.

But I’ve learned the scent of their home/owner makes them more comfortable!) So book me starting today! Much love for animals and would love to help out✨ I am a stay at home mom, so I am here all day to give love, attention, and care. I have the ability to take care of your babies all day with minimal time out of the house I have two fur babies to keep yours company and to play with, I also have a fenced in back yard . Stay at home mom, I am home for the better part of the day therefore your furbaby will have plenty of interaction, attention, and love I have a fenced in with two friendly dogs, belle may bark a little and try to show that this is her house but once she warms up she is fine! Archie on the other hand just keeps to himself and will stay out of the way!

I can also work on potty training or just play and love your dog. I currently stay at home with my 8 month old baby and the sweetest fur baby. I sometimes have to go to our chicken houses but I can crate your dog for at most an hour or they can venture out with me! I live back off the road on a chicken farm. We have a very long driveway I can take your dog for a walk on. Also, we have a big yard so they will have plenty of room to run and play. I do have the ability to crate your dog if need be.

About: I am a lifelong l lover of all animals. As a kid I had dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. As often as I could be, I was outside looking for all types of animals and exploring nature. Currently I have 3 dogs, a cat, and 2 beautiful little girls. One of my dogs is diabetic and I have to administer insulin daily. I have a lot of experience caring for many animals with different dietary and health needs. Right now, I am a stay at home dad. My wife is off work for the Summer, so I will have time available to help care for your pets. My children will also be starting pre-school in the Fall so I will have plenty of time available for pet visits. I am very detail oriented, and will make sure I care for your pets how you prefer, and follow your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently have two daughters in elementary school. I drop-off and pickup every day from school. I am available while they are in school (approx. 8:00AM-2:00PM) and may have availability later in the afternoon some days. I am available for any drop-in visits at client's home (including walking, feeding, and other routine pet care) but, am not caring for pets at my home at this time.

About: my family has had a dog for 11 years! I was the designated walker and always loved getting out with the pup and hitting the pavement in the mornings or after school. I work full time, so this is mostly just to get out and get some exercise in before or after I get off work for the day. on walks I am stern but never mean if a dog is misbehaving. I prefer leash trained dogs, of course, and love all types of animals :)

About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.

About: I have always been around animals, I adore them and love being around them! I would rather be around animals than people! I am vet tech certified! I have 4 dogs at home plus cattle and more. I know the responsibility of having animals and taking care of them responsibly and efficiently In my home, we have dog crates and outside we have fences. So the dogs can go out and if any visitors are nearby they can be easily controlled!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, pigs, and more since I was 6-7 years old. I grew up on a small farm in North Carolina surrounded by animals. Weekends, early morning, and evenings work best. Potential to be more flexible. Let me know what is needed and I’m happy to work things out accordingly. I have a spacious apartment by NYC standards. Plenty of access to pet areas. I grew up with 3 labs and have years of experience taking care of them and other dogs along the way.

Patricia W.
“I've known Patricia for over 40 years and she has always been an avid animal hunter. She's had many dogs and cats who she considered and treated like family. When I first met her she was working in the horse stables and was a great rider. She bonds with animals and they with her. She can read their personalities somehow so always seems to know how to approach them. Over the years she has been a houseguest many many times and she's respectful, helpful and very clean. She is a woman of faith and integrity and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust my home and canine children or my grandchildren to her care. She's a wonderful, bright and fun person, and highly reponsible.”

Ashley has a great personality, she's trustworthy and responsible. I would recommend having Ashley watch any pet you had. She also does great with little animals. My grandkids had some hamsters at the house and she took care of them as well.”
