1. Avanthi & Bharath J.
“Avanthi and Bharath were great!! They were so genuine and seemed to really care for my two dogs. They asked great questions and showed that they really wanted to make sure they were prepared to watch the dogs. I would absolutely recommend them again!”
2. Marcus W.
“Marcus was great, he is just a nice person, respectful and polite. He was great with Bear and I believe Bear felt very comfortable with him. He brought in my flag since it was very windy and folded it beautifully into a respectful triangle. He did it before I even thought to ask. I think he's the best!”
3. Kevin F.
“We had never met Kevin before, but we used him as a house and dog sitter for a weeklong vacation earlier this year. We have a Staffordshire terrier/lab mix who is sweet as can be with humans, but can be very dog-reactive (so we won’t board her). We had recently had a not-so-great experience with a different pet care provider so we were a bit anxious about trusting someone new with our fur baby. However, Kevin quickly put all of our fears to rest. He took the time to talk with us beforehand, asking many thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and her needs, preferences, and routine. Once the sit began, Kevin gave us frequent photo and video updates (that we had requested) that showed lots of walks, pets, and good active play. He was incredibly gracious and easy to communicate with overall. Our house was immaculate upon our return and our dog was happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend Kevin and plan on using him again anytime we leave town!”
4. Destiny L.
“Destiny watched our two adult dogs and stayed at our house. She was very proactive and thorough with her communication and extremely respectful of our home. We would gladly use Destiny for sitting services again!”
5. Kimberly A.
“Kimberly was excellent and provided feedback... I would definitely use her again when in Wake Forest”
6. Paris L.
“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”
7. Grace M.
“Grace was absolutely wonderful! My fur babies loved her and Grace gave them all the attention they needed while we were out of town. We also received updates and pics everyday.”
8. Ashley F.
“Ashley took good care of Tashi. House looked great when we returned. She was available for our late night return. I hope to use her again in the future.”
9. Israel L.
“Israel is AMAZING! He’s incredibly kind, and was so caring with my pups and I would 100% recommend him. I never leave reviews unless the service was exceptional and he is!!”
10. John F.
“John was so great! He took awesome pictures of the babies and spend tons of time just loving on them. He did a great job with the litter boxes and special feeding schedules/meds for our whole zoo. Thank you!”
11. Megan W.
“I am delighted to recommend Megan Williams as an outstanding and dependable pet sitter. During our recent trip, she took exceptional care of our French Bulldog, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with her service. From our first interaction, Megan was responsive, friendly, and professional. She took the time to thoroughly understand our dog’s needs and routines, ensuring he felt comfortable and well cared for in our absence. Megan’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Her dedication to this role is evident, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. I highly recommend Megan to anyone seeking a caring, reliable pet sitter.”
12. Eden B.
“Eden was great with our girls! Followed our slightly complicated instructions, sent updates, and made sure everyone was settled before leaving.”
13. Kaity G.
“Kaity will truly take care of your pet! She loves animals with everything she has to offer. The best part is she’ll treat your pet as if it’s her own, how much better can that get? My dog is a rambunctious lab that loves to play and Kaity is one of her favorite people. I will definitely keep requesting to use Kaity in the future!”
14. Milika C.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I've also cared for pets throughout my years. Pets are like human beings to me. I love them like I love my children! I spoil them, feed them, play with them, walk them, bath them, entertain them, give them treats, and I always make sure they have lots of play toys. I have a deep passion for pets, and a loving family that will also spoil and play with your pets. I provide safe, loving, and Trust-worthy pet care. I am very patient and nurturing and will treat your pets as my own. I am currently very flexible and can normally work around anyone's schedule. I make my own schedule so if you let me know in advance I can be available for your pets. I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your pets. I have no pets that I own and I will accommodate and follow all of your instructions and request.
15. Rhiannon H.
“Rhiannon has cared for my German Shepherds several times while I was away on business. She treated them like her own dogs. My female was expecting and went into labor. Rhiannon sprang into action and helped my dog deliver her pups! She is also exceptional at organizing their grooming and vet appointments for me, as I have a very busy schedule. I would highly recommend her services. She is very professional and dependable.”
16. Julianna S.
“Julianna has been an amazing pet caregiver her whole life. She strives to be able to care for her pets and others pets when in need. She’s always on time and ready to help. She is a very responsible and caring person. She makes sure that pets are always taken care of and comfortable.”
17. Melissa T.
“Melissa was great! Sent multiple pictures, kept us well informed about our fur baby. We would definitely have Melissa take care of our Olive again!”
18. Raeann C.
“Raeann was wonderful with my dog and cat! She took such great care of my very senior dog who needed extra attention. I’m so grateful to her for keeping my worries down so I could relax and have a great vacation.”
19. Harley M.
“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”
20. Emilee C.
“Emilee took great care of our goldendoodle and our house while we were with grandchildren. We are very fortunate to find her in a somewhat unpopulated area.”
