About: I have always loved animals. Currently I have a small flock of chickens and 3 cats. It is fun to meet new animals and their humans! I am free before and after work and most weekends and holidays. I am available for overnight stays as well. I don't mind doing some light cleaning also. I have a fenced in yard and a screened in porch so my pets can get plenty of fresh air. I enjoy taking dogs on walks.
About: i’ve taken care of every kind of dog since i was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to walk, feed, and bathe their beloved pets. I’m currently in school for dog training Pet care is part of my everyday life as a dog mom of 3. I’m used to caring for all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit walks, drop-ins, and extra attention into my day. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet will always be in reliable, experienced hands with me! In my home, pets get plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable space to relax. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. If I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their pet’s environment calm, familiar, and stress-free. I always give lots of attention, positive reinforcement, and gentle structure. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, cared for, and at home, wherever they are.
“Boomer received great care! We will definitely use Jenna and Shane again. They have a great setup for taking care of dogs and are very dedicated. We appreciated the photos during his stay.”
“Dessie took great care of our dogs. She took them to the dog park and sent us updates daily. She also gave us a nice bag of treats, doggie bags, and a nice letter! I could tell my dogs were super happy with their stay and well taken care of”
“What a sweet sitter who was gentle with our pup, upbeat, smart, caring, and a good communicator throughout our requests, time changes, and adjustments. Felt very safe about leaving her with Brody in a New York apartment as we went out to a Broadway show. Brody thought she was great! Would definitely recommend.”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Candice is truly the best! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She is clean, reliable, and incredibly thorough in her care. I especially appreciate the detailed daily reports she provides, it’s so reassuring to know how my pup’s day went. Her upbeat personality and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Candice is the one.”
“Jakiah was gracious enough to take our doggo at the last minute. She was kind and extremely responsive. She sent several updates with photos. She was really accommodating for our pet who tends to be a little particular in his ways. Very grateful for her support.”
“We are so happy that we had Amy watch Sadie! She sent constant updates and we were never worried about her for one second. It was clear through the pictures and videos that Sadie was very comfortable and felt right at home. She was happy (and tired!) when we picked her up, which says it all. Amy truly cared for her like she was her own. Sadie can be a little quirky and needy, but Amy handled it all so well. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again for sitting and walks!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my baby girls, updating me every step of the way. Will definitely be using her again next time I need a sitter in Greensboro!! ❤️”
“Amber was fantastic! She took such great care of Sherman while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was dependable, caring, and easy to communicate with. Sherman was happy and well cared for when we got home. We would absolutely recommend Amber and wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Sherman again. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I am Alex. I work full time at Forsyth Humane Society on the marketing team, where I spend every day advocating for animals and supporting the mission from behind the scenes. Outside of work, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits because I genuinely love being around animals and helping busy pet parents feel at ease. I am reliable, attentive, and respectful of routines, instructions, and safety guidelines. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means an energetic walk, a calm potty break, or extra patience for nervous animals. You can expect clear communication, punctuality, and lots of care. I would love to meet you and your pet. I am currently working from home so I can do a drop in visit during the day consistently. I also am happy to help out on the weekends. I care for my dogs and client’s dog in any way they may need. I will follow any schedule and needs that you may have. I have once has a cat sleep on my head because that’s what it did when it was stressed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winston-Salem
Kalyn was rockstar for us and our pup!! I had never used Rover before but downloaded to find a last minute sitter for our still new to us, stray found, foster dog. There is a lot we're still finding out about our dog's preferences and behavior in certain circumstances, especially around other animals. I communicated this to Kalyn and she was so understanding and communicative throughout his stay with her. She helped us so much by letting us know more information about his behavior, which is invaluable in finding him a forever home. You and your pet won't regret booking with her!
Carson was such a great sitter for my Milano!! She sent pics and updates everyday, made me feel really safe and extra assured that she was taking good care of my baby. Her dogs were also very welcoming so they made him feel right at home! Definitely recommend her!!
Eloise was an Angel sent from above. Dogsitter cancelled a day before my trip and Eloise was more than happy to help me, she sent me Daily updates, kept me informed, and treated my Dog like royalty. So much so my dog was kinda sad to come home which broke my heart but I am so happy she had a great time. I will 100% be booking for next trip Thanks a million guys 🌸
Our pup thoroughly enjoyed staying with Mackenzie this weekend. She was snuggled and spoiled and loved playing with her dog too. I felt so relieved to hear that she was doing well in her updates and loved seeing all the fun she was having. I would definitely trust Mackenzie to keep her again!
As first-time users of a pet sitter, we weren't sure how Eren would respond, especially given his high energy. Elisé was exceptionally patient with him and maintained constant communication, providing daily updates and valuable insights throughout our experience. When she dropped Eren off, I could tell he was genuinely sad to leave her. We felt so fortunate to have him in her care!
