“Misty is absolutely fantastic. Anyone in the Semora, Milton, Roxboro area we highly recommend her for a pet sitter. She takes great care of our cat, and is trustworthy without question.”
“Ashley was absolutely fantastic. Charlie loved her and really enjoyed all of the attention and walks. Ashley was very prompt and took very good care of my precious boy. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Makayley did a great job. We could not have asked for better service. I think our puppy would go home with Makayley if she would let him. She sent us pictures every day with briefings on how our puppy was doing. He missed us for the first couple of days, but then he seemed to accept Makayley as his temporary master. I think we missed him more than he missed us!. Great job!”
“Sierra was extremely responsive and prompt! She came over for a meet and greet with our BIG boy and it was a great fit! I’m so excited to find a trustworthy sitter for our next trip.”
About: I've had animals ever since I can remember. Big, small, smaller, just about anything you can think of I've had. I take pride in making sure all animals around me are happy and cared for. I can care for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and any small animal from hamsters to bunnies. I'm currently searching for a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I love to be around animals, more than people. So, I've got time to take long walks and excellent care of all your animals. I always take my pups out on a leash. They are trained to go into their crates when we leave. All of my animals get plenty of exercise, lots of toys, and all my love. I can assure you I'll take extra special care of your animals, just like I do mine.
“Alexandria did a great job with my kitty, Bea. When I got home Bea was calm, happy, fed, and her long hair was brushed. She sent photos and videos. The house was tidy! She even put out the trash for trash day. I would ask Alexandria to Bea-sit again.”
About: I have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets countless times while they were away. I have also owned two dogs since I was twelve so I'm really great with pets! I am currently a college student so I have lots of flexibility with your pups! I will make sure your dogs get the best care ever! Although, I am not able to care for pets in my own home I can take care of them in yours. I enjoy going to local parks and being outside so I would love to be outside with your pet.
“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.
“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
About: I have had a full house of pets since I was a small child, and am excited to be able to care for more since leaving my animals at home with my family for college. I am a college student who is also on a competitive ice skating team, but have plenty of free time for your dogs/cats! I have large spaces during the day and early evening :) While I don't have a home to house your pets in, I will follow all of your specific instructions in caring for your animals in your home
About: I’ve been an animal keeper for the last 3-4 years working with various exotic wildlife and am currently the Vet Tech/Keeper for (mostly) lemurs. I have great experience and knowledge working with animals (including domestic pets). I volunteered at my local animal shelter working with dogs and cats for many years, doing routine tasks such as feeding, cleaning, bathing, and walking. Apart from basic necessities like feeding and cleaning, I also have great experience preparing and administering medications and am confident in my abilities to handle exceptional dogs and cats that may need more complex care. Outside of my work experience, I have my own personal experience caring for my family pets, including dogs, cats, many rodents, and now chickens. Since high school I have frequently pet sat for friends and acquaintances with a wide range of pets including dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and horses. I am available in the mornings most weekdays, with lesser availability on the weekends. My availability can be flexible upon notice. On weekends right now, I am available only in the late afternoon and evenings. Am only looking to care for pets at the client’s house due to my own housing and pet situation. I’ve cared for pets in this context before and first and foremost, I respect people’s property and homes and can be trusted to be professional and clean. I am flexible to work accordingly with the client’s preferences in regard to how they their pets need to be cared for.
About: I have been blessed to share my life with 4 Golden’s.... I love dogs and will give yours with the same love and respect as I have given mine I am self employed and flexible with a schedule... We take walks or just play outside ... sunshine and exercise and good for all pets. At this time I am not able to bring your pet into my home... however I am glad to assist you with your pets in your home
“Miss V was wonderful! She communicates so often with lots of photos! We gave her lots of instructions for our somewhat complicated pups haha. She followed them to a tee and asked questions to make sure she was thorough. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Phoenix was so well taken care of with David. He sent pics, kept us up to date. Very friendly, Phoenix took to him readily. Knowledgeable about dogs per his conversation. Sent a great pic of her outside with her favorite ball. Will definitely use David's services again. ”
About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”
