Pet Sitting Whitehurst

“Mafe put me at ease when she came to meet my sweet senior dog! She provided him with morning and evening medications, followed all instructions for his care and gave him lots of love and attention. It is always hard to find someone who you feel comfortable leaving your dog with and she made his home visits special for him. I appreciated the updates and photos and my dog most definitely appreciated the love and care she provided while I was away from home.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have provided dog-walking and pet-sitting services for family, friends and others over the years. Whether it’s going for walks, keeping up with feeding routines, playing, or giving them extra love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and do my best to make sure your pets feel cared for while you’re away! I am a college student so I do have a few classes during the week, as well as lab hours. But I am available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to either do check-ins, feedings, or walks I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and familiar in their environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have owned dogs, cats, turtles, and various rodents throughout my entire life and I have always cherished animals. I have received my veterinary assistant certification from Craven Community College and I have over 2 years of pet sitting experience. I understand that pets are not just animals. They are our family and deserve to be treated as such. I am very experienced with pet care. I have cared for pets throughout my entire life and I find it therapeutic to care for and love all animals. I work about 3 days a week so my schedule is very open. I am a full time student but I only have 2 classes a day and I have lots of free time. Most people say I spoil my dog. I have always felt connected to animal and I fully believe that they are “people” just like us. For me, a pet is like a child. They require just as much love. I would never put an animals in harms way. I hold them to the same standard as humans.

“Katie was great! Stayed in great contact with us, sent pictures of our babies and adressed any of our concerns. I felt super comfortable leaving my dogs with her and will definitely use Katie again. Thank you Katie!!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.

“Dom was great and my cat really seemed to like her! She was responsive and gave notice if her drop-in visit time had to adjust. I hope to book with her again!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and currently have pets of my own, including cats and dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or just a dependable caregiver, I’m happy to help and treat them like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure every visit gets the time and attention your cat deserves. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and interaction or prefers a calm, quiet presence, I’m happy to follow their routine and provide care that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to keeping your cat happy and stress-free. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication instructions, and any other special care needs. I respect your home and your cat’s boundaries, taking the time to build trust at their pace. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your cat is receiving attentive, loving care.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. With reliable communication, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence, your pet will be treated like family. I am usually free everyday until around 3pm. Some weeks are different but I would love to communicate and find a way to fit your pet in. I create safe environments for pets by making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and respected at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and always supervise during play and feeding. I pay attention to their body language, give them space when needed, and keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and hazard-free. Whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a calm walk outdoors, I prioritize their comfort and well-being in every moment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs almost my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am! For the past 5 years, I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention and playtime to sweet senior dogs who need a little more patience and care, I love them all! I also have a big dog back home named Hank, so large breeds definitely don’t intimidate me! Whether your pet is big or small, young or old, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family members just like they’re my own! I am a full time student but my class schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time for visits and time to take care of your pups multiple times throughout the day. One of my biggest priorities when caring for your pets is making sure they feel as comfortable, relaxed, and loved as possible! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always do my best to match the energy and environment they’re used to at home. Whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, extra cuddles, or simply having someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to do whatever makes them feel most at ease! I understand that being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I want to be a familiar, comforting presence they can count on. My goal is to keep their routines as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I can remember I have such a soft spot for animals especially pups. My family has always had lots of dogs through the years we currently have 6. I have always enjoyed taking care of my family and neighbors dogs. I’m currently working part time which means I will have lots of free time to take care of your pups. I am available for dog sitting on the weekends and week days after 2. I can do drop in anytime after 2 on week days and weekends. I can dog walk anytime after two on week days and weekends. I have 6 dogs of my own and they are all very loved and taken care of. I have lots of experience with dogs and can assure you your pup is safe with me. I have practice feeding, walking, and training dogs.

About: We are a couple who recently graduated college and are looking for a side hustle! We both have 12 years of pet experience. We have been doing rover on and off for over two years and absolutely LOVE it. With over 10+ years of household pets and pet sitting gigs, we can ensure your pet has a home away from home! With both of us taking care of your animal they will almost never be left alone. Our apartment is in a low traffic neighborhood and right across from a dog park. We take safety and respect for your home as our top property.

About: I absolutely adore pets and always have since I was young! Had several dogs all throughout my childhood and am currently in search for one of my own! I enjoy walking outside so if your dog loves to go for walks, we'd be the perfect match! I have also pet sat dogs of all ages many times before for neighbors and friends, so I would love to be able to pet sit for anyone in need whether that be for feeding time, walks, overnight care or just to be there so they aren't lonely! I recently moved back to North Carolina, so I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends. My home has a yard to run around and play in and the neighborhood is perfect for walks! I can easily crate your dogs if needed or they can snuggle up on the couch or bed. Looking forward to taking care of your furry family members and will treat them like my own :)

“Morgan was very kind and gave excellent care to our critters. We will definitely ask her again.”

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.

“Kristopher was great! He came over a few days early to meet our dogs Chase and Charlie. Both dogs warmed up to him immediately. Kristopher was great with communication and I loved the daily photos. I would recommend Kristopher to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
