“Natalie was wonderful and took great care of our precious boys. They aren’t easy to trust but they took to her quickly and even slept with her. It didn’t hurt that she hung out with them by the pool which is their favorite. Very grateful for Natalie - it is hard for my husband and I to leave but she put us at ease.”

“Holly stayed at my house over the holidays with my two big dogs. I was really anxious to leave them because they are used to traveling with me but Holly put me at ease. She did a great job sending updates and even cleaned my house! Will definitely use Holly again.”

“Talia was a godsend! Our two boxers immediately liked her. Her calm demeanor made them feel like they’d known her forever. She kept in communication with us and made us feel extremely comfortable with her. It’s a blessing to have someone you can count on. We’ll be using Talia again!”

“As always, Matthew goes above and beyond what is asked of him. His interaction with our kitty is excellent, even when jasper wakes him up at 3 AM. Matthew is attentive to jasper and our home, which is much appreciated. He's terrific!”


About: Hello! I have been pet sitting for 5 years, either staying overnight or just stopping by! I absolutely love watching doggies and helping out when I can. I am able to do whatever you need, I will feed, walk, bathe, etc. i absolutely love meeting new fur babies!! I currently am a student at high point university, majoring in biology. Most of my schedule consists of classes that are about an hour long with hour breaks in between each class. I have a part-time job hosting, only 2 days a week at night time. I am able to take dogs out on a leash, let them out in a yard, crate them, or whatever the plan may be. I can also walk them and pick up after them if preferred! I will give them lots of love and make sure they are comfortable.
About: I adore all our furry friends and I am a reliable pet sitter for your family pet. Enjoy a peace of mind while you are away. I am a work-from-home mom of 3 teenage kiddos. My schedule is very open, which allows me to take extra time to care for any animal's needs. I have a great routine of feeding, exercising, and letting them go outside. It is important for our furry friends to feel calm while they are in a new environment.
“Kim is a wonderful sitter, and we were very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Our dogs each have their own behavioral quirks, and she wasn’t fazed as at. She communicated really well while we were out of town and our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Thanks Kim!”

“Megan is a fantastic pet sitter. She communicates great while watching my pets. Respects my home. And always askes if there's anything else she need to do while here. I feel very comfortable leaving my babies in her care.”


“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I adore all animals and look forward to loving and caring for your sweet pets. I am retired due to a health issue and I am fairly flexible with my schedule. Now that I have healed I am able to return to pet sitting for extra income. I’ll be happy to explain this further should there be any concerns on your part. I believe it is traumatic for pets when their people leave them, so it’s better for them to stay in home while you are away. I will come to your home and stay with your pets.
“Meghan interacted with Fendi beautifully. There was a scheduling conflict due to Meghan's other appointment obligations, causing Meghan to arrive several hours later than expected. A call would have been appreciated; however, she did not want to leave the other dogs unattended as well. After we spoke, Megan came as quickly as she could and took excellent care of Fendi. She sent lots of videos and pictures and gave Fendi lots of love. She was extremely apologetic and even refunded some of the additional cost. Fendi interacted well with Megan and when I returned back home it was evident Fendi was establishing a bond. The house was well taken care of and Meghan adhered to all the specific directions given that Fendi is a service animal. She played with her and gave Fendi the special attention needed to allow us to enjoy our trip with less worry. Meghan is mature and took on this assignment at the last minute, reducing my stress of being worried. This is the first time I have ever left Fendi with (3) different individuals with rotating times since I was going to be away for nearly a week. Meghan came through for us and I appreciate her willingness to make this transition of being away more accommodating. Her interaction with Fendi is why I will certainly call upon her again. She showed love and kindness to Fendi and that is priceless.”

“Lauren is awesome! I had no worries about the care of Benny and Sox. She's a very capable and calming factor to my 2 high energy kids. She is my go to sitter going forward.”

“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
