“Rosa was amazing watching Moose. She walked her three times a day for several days and administered her food and medication without any issues. Rosa sent a photo and update with every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose was clearly well cared for, and we would highly recommend Rosa and book her again.”

About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16 and have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages and personalities. I have volunteered with animal rescues since I was 12, fostered numerous dogs and cats, and am comfortable providing basic medical care, including oral medications, eye drops, injections, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or specialized care, I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm currently taking online classes during the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. In the fall I will be returning to in person classes, however my schedule will still allow me to be a reliable care giver for your pets and satisfy all of their needs! I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I am experienced in administering oral medications, eye drops, some injections, and fluids when needed. Whether your pet loves to play, needs extra patience, or requires special care, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.

“Amanda was wonderful! Kept my unruly dogs entertained on their walks and sent me lots of pictures and updates to ease my dog mom anxiety while I was out of town.”

Emily C.

“Rylie is amazing! She asked lots of questions to make sure my dog would have a great time with her. He’s a big dog (German Shepherd), and she completely understands the behavior and energy level of big, high-energy dogs!”

About: Hi! My name is Mack, and I’m a chemist in the RTP area with a lifelong love of critters! I grew up caring for dogs and cats and love to spoil and pamper them. I have experience caring for pups of all personalities and ages, including senior dogs with medical needs. I am also experienced with fish and other aquatic critters, as well as birds! I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy working with medium-sized and large dogs and love getting to know each pup as an individual. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra companionship, or care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! DISCOUNT- I offer a discounted rate for house sitting during the day without overnight stays (typically 8am to 8pm). If this is of interest to you, reach out and I’ll offer the discounted rate! I am an early riser and can best help with early morning and afternoon pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and pet care styles. For house sitting bookings, I am committed to leaving your home clean and showing your home the care and respect it deserves! This includes keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their home, staying on their schedules, and cleaning up.

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

“Jessica helped out with an unusual request and saved me from abroad! She was flexible and clearly knew how to keep a dog happy and safe in transit! I appreciate all the help and care!”

Adri F.

“Tanya goes above & beyond for my dogs, it’s so wonderful knowing they’re in great care! I have polar opposite dogs, an older, tiny yorkie with lots of needs, and a younger, energetic lab who’s very extra. She handles both of them amazingly in the same visits & I’m always thrilled to book with her again. Definitely reach out to her, you won’t regret it!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs as well as turtles, hamsters and birds. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s established routine, from feeding and exercise to playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, which has taught me to be especially observant of changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I am open to caring for other pets as well including reptiles, rodents, birds etc! ❤️ I’m currently in my last year of nursing school, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I plan my availability carefully and only accept bookings I know I can reliably accommodate. I have flexibility for drop-in visits on many days and will communicate clearly about my availability before booking. When possible, I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s usual feeding, medication, potty, and care routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own and take the responsibility of being trusted in someone’s home seriously. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. I’m very observant and will communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet’s behavior or well-being. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My deep love for animals fuels my passion and attentiveness as a pet sitter.what sets me apart is my ability to read animal body language, allowing me to understand their needs and desires with care. I am currently free from Monday to Saturday so that leaves me plenty to of time to care for your furry friends while you are away 💕 . Don’t hesitate to contact me for pet care or to negotiate scheduling issues. I am here to make everything as comfortable as possible for you and your animals Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets by always making sure that they are in their best state by keeping them fed, hydrated engaged.
