Ryan is great! Everything you can ask for in a pet sitter. He shows up on time, communication is important to him, and our dog Dottie enjoys the time spent with him.

Amanda was phenomenal! She was very reliable. She took great care of my kitten, making sure he didn't just get plenty of food and water, but also plenty of company to play with.

About: As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’ve had dogs and cats for over 10 years and have always had a special bond with animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, whether that means playtime, walks, sticking to routines, or simply giving them companionship and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and love I would my own. Being a college student gives me a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m able to plan my days around visits, feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, which helps me provide reliable and consistent care. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their directions, routine, and specific requests closely. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment while their owner is away.

About: I was raised on a farm with cats and dogs. I have a plott hound mix, a pit bull, a lab, and a sassy calico cat, all rescues, of my own. I have a lot of compassion for animals and treat them like members of the family, albeit spoiled ones. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while their human(s) are gone. I am comfortable with cats and small to large dogs at any energy level. My neighbors, vet, and friends can provide references, if needed. I work in education, so my summer schedule is wide open. Nights, weekends, and some holidays are possible during the school year. I am able to check in, walk, stay overnight, etc. In your home, I will follow the instructions given and take pictures to let you know your pets are well taken care of. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.

Sarah was great and the pups loved playing with their new friend! She was prompt with the requested visit times and helped with cleaning up a few messes that they made. I'm not sure who had more fun, Sarah or the mutts!

About: **Please understand we can only consider requests with completed profiles. Think of it like online dating for pets—we just want to make sure it’s a good match on both sides! We share our home with one large, lovable dog—who just so happens to be the ultimate dog sitter! He’s incredibly gentle and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes. With experience fostering through the Humane Society, we’ve developed a deep love and understanding for pups of all kinds. Spoiling them with love, care, and attention is just what we do best! **Just a heads-up—we’d really appreciate it if you could choose drop-off and pick-up times that match your plans as closely as possible. It helps us keep things running smoothly! If pick-up is after 10 PM, we kindly ask that your pup stays an extra night to keep things calm and comfy for everyone.** I work from home, so I’m able to take quick walk or play breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a little activity or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. While we don’t have a fenced yard, we do have a cozy screened-in sun porch where our own pups love to lounge and keep an eye on the birds. If your dog prefers a crate, I’m happy to accommodate that. And if they’re more into the laid-back lifestyle, they’re welcome to relax on the couch or guest bed—whatever makes them feel at home!

About: Hello! My name is Rebecca, I am twenty five years old. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child! I grew up in 4-h with horses and have been rescuing and rehoming kittens throughout my life. During collage I completed two internships at W.O.L.F. in CO and The Animal Parks in Burlington NC. And I worked as a veterinary assistant for Vetco’s clinic for two years. I now volunteer with the North Carolina zoo and AARF. My experiences have given me a lot of knowledge and confidence with different types of animals. I love really getting to know each and every animal and learning more about their personalities. The services I can provide include: Dog walking, feeding, cleaning up after animals, play time, litter box cleaning, brushing, and administering oral medications. I would love to provide the care needed to keep your pets comfortable while you are away. I have an older dog of my own that I care for everyday. He gets join supplements and other medications everyday and get played with when he has the energy. I also have a very energetic kitten that loves to play and spend time outside in his cat balcony! I make sure to try and keep on the same schedule as their owners. Sometimes that includes waking up early for feeding and giving medications or taking their dogs on two walks a day! I make sure to give cats their own space to feel safe and interact as much as they want! I also ensure the litter box is cleaned every day.

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience giving oral medication, injections (insulin) & IVs under the skin. My Layla passed away in 2017 from encephalitis and she had to get IVs every day on top of other things. We got Bruce in 2018 & Rocky in 2019. They are two peas in a pod..I call them Batman & Robin. They are great with other dogs as my husband and I have had many different breeds and sizes at our home. If your fur baby gets dirty playing in the yard, we will give the a bath (with your permission of course). They will go on daily walks, have a lot of play time since I work from home and I will make sure to send you photos and updates throughout their stay. Communication is extremely important to me. We look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! I am a real estate professional and run a team here in the Triad. I work from home and have the time to care for your fur baby as a majority of my work is from my computer. Rocky and Bruce love having new playmates over as well and we have a large yard for them to run around in 😊 We have a large fenced-in back yard and a deck for them to lounge on. I never let other people’s dogs stay outside unsupervised. If they are outside, I am outside. It’s an extra step of care that is super important to me because sometimes, animals can be unpredictable, see a squirrel or a rabbit and jump the fence etc. We ensure your fur baby is safe.

About: I have had many family friends have me dog sit and take care of their pets. I have a dog of my own and understand all the care and needs that a pet comes with. Happy to assist in dog walks, dog sittings and basic care. If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out! I currently have lots of availability! Currently open throughout most of the week. I am also available on most weekends as well. Happy to work with you if a specific schedule is needed! I currently live in an apartment. Here we have plenty of open space for walks and bathroom breaks. There is a big grass area that I take my own dog to.

About: Hi! I'm Dr. Mo -- I'm reliable, attentive, and I absolutely love doggos! I'm the person people trust with their pets when they're out of town, working, or overwhelmed (let's face it -- life is lifing pretty hard these days). I have a kind, grounded, and loving presence and tend to do well even with high-energy and sensitive pets. I'm a psychologist --the human kind --but I am tuned in to behavior and routines, so I pick up on what helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's long walks (or run/hikes!), playtime, or just keeping a consistent schedule while you're away --I'll treat your pet like my own. I'm also comfortable with medications, special instructions, or multi-pet households. You'll get regular photos and updates so you'll never have to wonder how things are going. If you're looking for someone dependable who genuinely gets animals (and their humans) I'd be honored to help. The doctor is in (and down for walks!) I currently work part time (remotely) as a college professor and run my own consulting firm, so I have flexibility to care for animals all week! I tend to work from a local coffee shop or my apartment mid day, but like to take morning and afternoon breaks -- which is perfect for dog sitting/walking! I live in a shared apartment, so won't be boarding dogs, but I'm happy to house/pet sit at your home. I've been doing this for friends, family, and faculty, for over 10 years! My work is flexible -- if I have my laptop, I'm set to work from anywhere. I'm adaptable and respectful of privacy, and enjoy having a change of scenery and working from different environments -- and enjoying the company of a special doggie pal makes life more wonderful.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old! I have years of experience with cats and dogs and am a happy owner of two cats myself! I love all pets of any age and will provide quality care to give you a piece of mind while your away from your fur babies! I currently working full time at Forsyth County Health Dept; Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. Occasionally, I work until 7pm, but go in later those days, as well as a very short shift on Saturdays. If these shifts ever fall on your requested days, it will be communicated! If it is close enough and I am able, I’m happy to drop in during the day as well to ensure the well being of your fur pals, and give you peace of mind! My goal during my care time is to ensure your fur pals are as comfortable and happy as when you are home; all while giving you plenty of updates, picture mail, and anything else to make you feel confident in my care! I currently work full time with a schedule of 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Occasionally, I work late an/or a short Saturday shift. All my schedule details for the days requested will be communicated to ensure I am a good fit! I do best when there is notes with a feeding schedule and other needs for your future babies so I can ensure they are getting the best care while you’re away! I will update with as many photos or videos as you would like throughout the day. If allowed in your home, i leave the bedroom door (of the room I am sleeping in) open so they can crawl up in bed with me or just know that I am there. I love to take them on walks, play with them inside or outside, or even lounge around with them! :)

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.

About: As of this time, I am only open for, dog walking, drop ins, etc. i will give your furry friend all the care it needs. I am a dog trainer with alot of knowledge into special needs, medication, etc. if you need it i probably got it for you! Sadly it has come to the point i must add this. Please respond to me after i send you a response on your request. I understand if you have to figure things out. But i shouldn’t be figuring out whether you want to book or not on the day of just because you don't feel like texting back. From This point on after 48 hours of no response the request will be archived. I apologize for any inconvenience but it makes if difficult to know how many spots i have or to know if i can accommodate another dog. I work from home as a dog trainer. I absolutely adore working with different dog breeds and getting to learn more about body language and the different styles of play and communication between each ones. Im always happy to take care of your furry friend and give them the love and care that they deserve while you are out of town or just need a break from them. I would like to make it clear that our texting hours are between 9am-9pm. Before or after that you will receive a text message the next morning after 9. Updates are usually given every other night around last potty time and are sent with pics/vids as well as a brief written update of how it is going. Occasionally i will send more updates if they are doing something really cute. Due to the amount of times this has happened. I will be adding a $5 late fee once an hour has passed from pickup without communication. Communicating is one thing just not picking up your dog is another. I have both dogs and cats at our house. I am well versed at making sure everyone gets along and separating those who don’t. If you have a dog that doesn’t do well with other dogs never fear, they can have their own area to get away from our pets or other rover dogs.

Tara was great. Shadow and Angel both love to see her and seemed really excited when I got home from work. They even both had a little accident with one getting sick the first day, and I really appreciate Tara cleaning up as best she could so I didn't come home to too bad of a mess. Great communication and my babies definitely got great care.

Connor was so sweet and accommodating for our little critter crew!! It was our first time away from them for this long and we came back to a happy, healthy bunch. He was super attentive to less pleasant occurrences during our time away — whether it was a broken glass or something else, he handled everything without hesitation.
