About: Hello, I'm Bailey. I specialize taking care of dogs that are high energy &/or struggle with anxiety. I’m a natural healer & that extends to our furry friends! I’ve worked in doggy daycares, animal shelters, and even been around for a few dog births! Since then, I have managed a few restaurants and opened a facial business, which has increased my strong sense of reliability, organization, and many hours on my feet! I appreciate the consideration and look forward to meeting your furry friend! I own an esthetics business and am looking for some fun part time work while I build my clientele! I am almost always outdoors and walk a lot myself so I figured hey, let’s add in some furry friends too! Thanks for looking at my profile! My, and your, pets safety is always my first priority. Our animals needs us in the same ways we need them. Making sure they’re stimulated and happy is always my goal.
“This is the second time booking Dinira. It was a last minute booking and she was booked, but was able to drop in to help with my mobility challenged fur baby! Exceptional service and communication!”

“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars because he deserves it. My dog was well cared for and ate his food. Even my normally shy cat liked him, which is a huge testament to him.”

“Tara is wonderful! My Frenchie is an anxious little guy and sometimes fights with his brother, my English bulldog. Tara took the time to do a meet and greet and asked great questions about their triggers and routines. She was super sweet with my dogs and was really engaged in interacting with them. When they had an accident in the house, she even helped me to clean it up, which was GREATLY appreciated! Highly recommend Tara and now I plan to use her regularly!”

About: I had my first furry friend when I was 18 against my mom’s will and everyone knows how the story ends right?! Yes she was calling herself grandma after the first week. I’m married now and we have 2 kids, waffles and pancake, yes we love breakfast food. Playing and going for walks aside from giving them love is my skill, they are also here for one lifetime experience so they do deserve to get all the love that they give us. I am currently working full time but I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day, I’m mostly looking to help around the weekends or evening care after 5pm 7 days a week.

I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health so I can quickly notice any changes and communicate them to the owner. My goal is always to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away!
“Angela has been absolutely amazing with my dog!!! She has serviced us in a few ways from drop in visits to dog walks, and I could not recommend her enough to anyone with a pet care need! Angela is extremely patient with my old girl, and shows compassion for her in her old age, as I’m sure she does with each and every pet. We are so lucky to have found her and her beautiful spirit! In addition, Angela is extremely accommodating and has even worked with us on last minute requests. All around she has been the best :) we love her!”

“She was absolutely amazing with all my fur babies. We work such long hours and we’re scared to leave our new puppy home alone for so long and she made us feel so much more comfortable and her feedback was always so informative! Will definitely book again!”

Winston-Salem dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julian was a wonderful walker for my dog—he learned how to handle Gumbeaux quickly and worked around my schedule. I appreciated the thoughtful photo updates and detailed notes, which always kept me at ease. Punctual, professional, and genuinely caring, Julian exceeded expectations and I’d happily book him again.

Cady is a phenomenal walker and person! It was my and my dog's first experience with a walker, and Cady was very patient and went above and beyond to work with us. She was kind and patient in working with my initially terrified dog, and she made extra effort to befriend her and get her comfortable. She is also very calm and communicative, and I would trust her with my keys, my dog, my sourdough starter, my passport, and my favorite hair tie. 10/10
