“Lindsay always does such a great job taking care of our cats! She is very responsive and flexible. We know our cats are in good hands with her.”
“I am new to North Carolina and was very nervous to go this trip and find pet help. But meeting you Megan gave me such relief and confidence that my precious kitties would be in very good care. You did a wonderful job caring for the kitties for the week. It meant alot how you made the effort to hang out with them building trust and making them feel safe. . Thank you so much. We’ll definitely Hope to work with you again for our next holiday!”
“Jenny started doing drop in visits with my 2 doggos this week. I was a little hesitant at first because my dogs haven’t been around a lot of people. They warmed up to her very quickly! Jenny post pictures of them daily and it keeps my heart at ease. Highly recommend Jenny. You can tell immediately that she has a love for animals.”
“Laura was so sweet and patient with Penny. We’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, providing trustworthy, attentive service to neighbors and friends. I’m communicative, easy to reach, and dedicated to your pet’s comfort while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Thursday and am looking for an additional income source on weekends (Friday to Sunday) to supplement my earnings. Flexible with hours during those days. I’ll provide thoughtful, attentive care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being while you’re away, just as I would for my own.
“Rebekah was absolutely amazing with Tucker. She let me know when she arrived, all the activities, and when she left. I got pictures and videos. I loved it! Tucker loves her too!”
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!

Your pets stay happy, relaxed, and loved until you’re home again. ❤️🐶🐱🐰🦎
About: I became a pet owner at a very young age, probably 4 or 5. My first fur baby was a cat who lived to be 20 years old! I have also had many dogs, ranging from Retrievers to Saint Bernards to one really wonderful Great Pyrenees. When I was a teen, I visited my Grandmother in New York where a cute, sick little barn kitty took a liking to me. I ended up flying him home with me in a picnic basket, nursed him back to health, and loved him for many years. While growing up and into my adulthood I have often taken care of neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I now have a 5-year-old kitty who we've had since he was a kitten. He is the king of the castle and an essential member of our family, and honestly, I envy his life most of the time! I understand how precious our pets are and would be truly honored to take care of yours just as they were my own, surrounding them with love, patience, and attention. I currently work in Real Estate and have the flexibility to work with your needs Tues, Thurs and Fri during the day. The more notice I have the better I can get my schedule aligned with yours. Other times/days may be available by request and circumstance. In my current profession, I am trusted to enter others' homes on a regular basis. I will treat your home and pet(s) with just as much care, caution and respect as I do for every client.
“Love Amanda!! She is so sweet and takes such great care of our Yorkie! She sends tons of pictures and some videos with a detailed update every visit. We use her everytime, would highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Always the person to call when friends/family would go out of town. I am that person who always asks to pet your dog and I love every minute of it. I currently do remote work with a flexible schedule so I can take care of your pup and be there when you need a helping hand. I’m very comfortable with dogs and can adapt to your dogs needs. We can do walks on a leash, play ball in the backyard or just sit on the floor for cuddles. Whatever is needed, I’m here.
“Kory did a great job with my foster dog, Archie. He played with him outside, sent very detailed updates, and plenty of pictures. I highly recommend him for your pets!”
About: I’ve worked with a wide variety of personalities within every pet. I know how to accommodate the pets needs and establish a safe and loving relationship while their human is away. I have grown up around animals my whole life so I know the time, effort, and patience it takes to create a loving relationship. I am flexible when it comes to pet care. I typically work about 5 days a week from 9am-3pm. On the days that I’m off I can certainly weave pet care into my schedule whenever. When it comes to the clients home I will do as the client pleases and what they feel most comfortable doing for their furry friend!
“I had a fantastic experience with Matthew! They followed all directions perfectly and communicated with me throughout the process, which made everything so much easier.

“She took excellent care of my kitty loves at a VERY short notice. I got great pictures and everything looked great when I came home. Will rebook!”
About: I am a volunteer and foster for a local animal rescue program of the triad. I currently have 3 dogs and a foster dog, who I am adopting. Love to play with dogs and walk them :). I am very flexible and can definitely work around your schedule. I am retiring from my job, and looking for something that I can say I love to do, which is be around animals and take care of them. Whether you need someone to stop in and let them out or take them for a walk or jog, I am your go to sitter. The one thing I don't want is for the pet owner to worry or stress about leaving their animal. Rest assured I will take excellent care of your animal. Whether it be a walk around the neighborhood, throwing the ball, or cuddles on the couch, I am available for all of these needs.
“Tara was a great source of comfort while I was away from my fur baby. She sent detailed updates after each stay, including photos. She is kind, reliable, and attentive!”
About: I follow instructions and care for all animals like they are my own. I can care for your typical fur babies such as dogs and cats, but am also comfortable caring for reptiles, amphibians and other aquatic animals. I understand that all animals have different personalities, but all require patience, understanding and love. I work part-time during the spring and summer so I have extra time to help. I get up early, so if your pets like to be up and going around the crack of dawn, look no further. If you have night time creatures or animals that don’t like the heat, I can also accommodate that as well. I treat everyone’s home with upmost respect. I keep you informed throughout the day of all activities to make sure you know that your loved one is taken care of.
“Cheryl was great with our 2 cats and 14 year old lab. I truly feel blessed that I found her to take care of my babies. She kept me updated and sent me pics of them as we were away for 10 days. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
