“Brooke was great taking care of our cockatiels! She communicated every step of the way and even accommodated us as the snow storm got in the way of our trip. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Phinette! Growing up, I have always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I had three small dogs who I am so grateful I got to grow up with until they were in their late teens. My family rescued our current pit bull mix, Oakley, 6 years ago, who is now reaching his elderly years, as well as six cats! I truly love seeing the different personalities in each animal and finding out what makes them unique. I am great with high energy dogs including puppies, love being active, so I would love to help get their energy out with walks/runs! I am currently a Physical Therapist Assistant student and attend school Monday–Thursday, typically from 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. My availability will change throughout October and November, so I’ve outlined my schedule below to make it easier to see when and where I’m available! **House Sitting** **Through October 7:** I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting, especially toward the Chapel Hill/Pittsboro area since I commute there for school. **October 8–26:** I’ll have open availability and can travel to a wider area for house sitting. **October 27–November 20:** I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area from approximately 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so I’ll primarily be looking for house sitting opportunities closer to Angier/Lillington. However, I’m happy to travel farther for longer stays! **After November 20:** I’ll have open availability throughout December and the holidays. **Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits** **Through October 7:** Available Friday–Sunday all day, as well as evenings Monday–Thursday. **October 8–26:** Open availability every day! **October 27–November 20:** Available Monday–Friday in the evenings and Saturday–Sunday all day. I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area during the weekdays, so weekday requests closer to Angier/Lillington are preferred. **After November 20:** Open availability throughout December and the holidays! I know how scary it can be to have someone you don’t know stay in your home and care for your pet. That’s why it’s really important to me to build a relationship and trust with my clients, so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is in your home. I’ll make sure your pet and your home are in the best care possible while you’re away, and I have a feeling your pet and I will become best friends by the time you get back! I absolutely love sending pictures and updates, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re gone! If you’re someone who doesn’t need as many updates, that’s completely fine too. I’m happy to send them as often or as little as you’d like. I also make sure to check my phone regularly while house sitting, so you’ll always be able to reach me if you need anything. I’m someone who actually loves detailed instructions because they help me make sure I’m doing everything exactly how your pet is used to. I want to keep their normal routine as much as possible while you’re away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so you may come home to your house looking a little cleaner than when you left it!

“Nikki was an absolute godsend. She took incredible care of my 2 cats. She spent extra time playing with them and treated them like members of her own family.”

Brian G.

“Maria is our favorite sitter for our kitties! They always have a great time with her, she spends plenty of quality time with them each visit. She’s wonderful about asking quick questions to be sure she understands our preferences and instructions. She’s even been kind enough to bring packages inside for us, and always has great photos to share of our boys!”

Kelly C.

“I wouldn’t definitely use Emily again. She is thorough, caring, and willing to work with us on what our cats needed. She goes above and beyond to ensure everything, even the littlest details are taken care of.”

Shannon O.

“Jenna was great, and I had no worries leaving my fur baby in her care. She was kind, took lots of pictures, was prompt to reply to any messages. Would love to use her services again in the future!”

About: i’ve been pet sitting for the past five years. I also work with a nonprofit dog rescue and foster puppies. I have watched dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a full time job but I can fit pets into my weekends. I can do three drop ins a day for dogs and cats if needed! If you just need one drop in I can after work (5:30 m-f) I do not offer in-home boarding, as I foster and have three dogs of my own. However, I provide attentive and reliable care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection while keeping their environment safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their well-being and happiness.

“Madison did an awesome job taking care of my furry baby while I was on vacation. I received daily updates, pictures, and even a video while I was gone which gave me a peace of mind that my kitty was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend using her to take care of your furry babies! I will definitely use her again!”

“Julia is a great sitter- she’s reliable and very caring towards my kitties! It’s very reassuring to know they are in good hands when I’m away on travel!”

Marie T.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, both big and small. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those with special needs, disabilities, and medical conditions that require extra patience and attention. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and care requirements, as well as fish and other small animals. I’ve also spent time around farm animals, so I’m comfortable handling a range of species and environments. Because of this background, I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also comfort, safety, and individualized attention for each animal. I’m attentive to behavior, feeding routines, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I am a full time college student taking online classes, and I have a remote part time job. This means that my hours are flexible and it's easy for me to travel or do tasks for pets throughout the day. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or a client’s home. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m very attentive to behavior and surroundings, making sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I also keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a safe space to relax, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“Great experience”

Matt S.

“Amanda was a fantastic sitter for our dog that requires bladder expression. This was the first time we’ve been away from the dogs and used a sitter, we were very nervous but the experience could not have better for us or the dogs. Amanda’s attention to detail, veterinary background, and clear and frequent communication put us at ease the entire time we were away from the pups!”

About: I've been a pet person my whole life; I grew up with a childhood cat I adored, and today I have two cats of my own that I've raised from kittens. For the past 7+ years, I've cared for neighbors' and friends' cats and dogs, ranging from kittens/puppies to senior cats and dogs. I know that pets each have their own personalities and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable so they aren't so scared when you are gone. I am very passionate about giving my cats the best life I can, and I will absolutely do the same for your pet :) I work a remote part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and a lot of availability for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Because I'm home often, I can provide consistent visits, extra playtime, and quick responses if anything comes up while you're away. I make sure to follow your instructions closely especially feeding, medication, routines, and house rules so your cat's day stays as normal as possible while you're away. Every visit I check food, water, and litter, watch for any changes in behavior or appetite, and send updates/photos so you are kept up to date. My goal is for your cat to feel comfortable and well cared for, and for you to feel a little more relaxed.

“Ella was very communicative during her stay at the house. She sent pictures multiple times a day and left the house in fantastic shape. It seemed like Tucker was in good hands during my trip. Would recommend.”

Joseph R.

“Andrei did an excellent job taking care of both of my dogs. I highly recommend him for any breed. I have a large mastiff, and he and Andre instantly bonded. Andrea is also very communicative and responsive when needed.”

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, I’m 30 years old and live in Garner NC. I worked with dogs for over 5 years now, having worked 2 different dog daycare/kennel technician jobs. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes and love every single one of them. I’d love to pet sit and do walks on the side, along with my job at WRAL TV Station! I work Saturday-Wednesday from 3pm-12am but I am available before that! I’m available for dog walking and house sitting, and even coming to your house to give your dog some playtime. I own a corgi and three cats, and they’re my world. I promise to love your dog like they’re my own and take the best care of them! I currently work five days a week but I am free on work days before 2pm, and also off on Thursdays and Fridays currently. I care for my own animals every single day, and make sure to give them all tons of love! I do exactly as my client requests of me, no matter how big or small. I love detailed instructions so that I can make sure everything is perfect for my client and they don’t have anything to worry about allowing me to care for their furbabies.

About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I still help care for my family's pets and also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I also grew up near neighbors who fostered dogs and puppies, and I loved spending time helping socialize and play with their foster puppies. This gave me experience being around puppies of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, puppy care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, as well as many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and pet care into my routine is something I'd genuinely enjoy! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated (with lots of pictures if needed!) while you're away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I almost always prefer pets over people. I've been working in software development for about 10 years, but I've also enjoyed helping family and friends when their pets or home need looking after for most of my life I work remotely, so I can easily make visits in the morning and evening. I usually spend 30 minutes to an hour with the pets at your home. Everyone has different needs and concerns, I make sure to meet both yours and your pets. For cats, I usually prefer keeping them at your home. For dogs, i typically take care of them at my home to give them more frequent attention.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
