“Katlyn did a wonderful job with our babies. She was able to help us out on short notice, which was really appreciated. She seemed very knowledgeable about dealing with many different dog personalities and did really well dealing with Dakota, who is skittish around new people. I would definitely recommend Katlyn to watch your pets.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs since I’ve been 11. Friends,family and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I have experience with all ages! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them all of their needs! If that includes letting the wiggles out or needing some relax time..I’m all in! I am very good with staying in contact and updating people on pictures of their fur babies. I can assure you that your pet is in excellent care under my attention!

“We enjoyed Kellie’s initial visit with Leena. She arrived early and had a great visit with Leena. She was attentive, patient, and caring with Leena. I would recommend Kellie.”

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. NC State animal science graduate with 13 years of small animal GP experience.

“This was my first time using Rover, I am so glad I found Britney! She went above and beyond to make sure my home and 3 cats were well taken care of while I was gone on a trip. I received lots of pictures, videos, and updates, and my cats loved her, even the shy ones were loving on her!”

About: I have worked in pet care for a 9 years (Aug. 2014), and I love what I do. Providing the absolute best care for your pets is my passion, it’s not just a job to me. It is so important to ensure your pet is safe and sound while you’re away from them, and I go the extra mile to make that happen. I have a sit down with the owner to get all the information that I need and to get to know them and their pets I ask if there is anything specific I need to know such as health issues, anxiety, if they are reactive to something specific. I ask questions like do they chew, if they a runner or a climber, do they have allergies, is there a certain certain way to handle them to make them more comfortable, if they have a set schedule, how and when to feed, etc. I ask so many questions because it’s what I need to know to make sure I can properly take care of your baby. I spend time with the pet to observe behavior, movements, if they are shy or outgoing, how to react to loud noises, even their favorite treat or toy, and where they prefer to get rubs and scratches. You can tell a lot about how animal is feeling observing them. And if I have to sing them a lullaby and feed them with a spoon for them to be comfortable, then that is what I will do. I know what it’s like to have a love and deep connection with a pet, so I know how important your babies are to you. I promise I will treat your babies exactly the way I would want my baby to be treated. They deserve it. I am currently working a full-time job, with a very flexible schedule. I have a two hour window during lunch hours, I am available Most days of the week after 5 PM (I get off early one day an I get off early one day a week, )until 7 a.m. and I am available every weekend. I am able to adjust my lunch hours to accommodate your pets needs. Like I said previously, it’s important for me to get to know each pet I care for. Every pet has different needs. The care I give them, will meet each individual pet’s needs.

“Miranda is an amazing sitter! She’s so adaptable to my crazy schedule and is absolutely amazing with Pi. She has great communication and I know that Pi is definitely in good hands with her. If you’re looking for an amazing dog caretaker look no further! Highly recommend!”

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

“I needed a dog sitter for a couple of hours and reached out to Rob. He responded quickly and was very courteous. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet girl in his care. She also appeared to be comfortable with Rob. I initially selected Rob because his profile stated that he was a dog trainer. I hope to have some training sessions in the near future. I'm so happy that I found a caring sitter that is very knowledgeable about dogs! Rob will be my go-to sitter from now on.”
