Pet Sitting in Candor

“Christy is the best! This was the first time we booked her, and we wish we could give her 10 stars! Our dog loved her, she was prompt, sent pictures during her stay and we will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank you, Christy!”

About: I have worked with cats and dogs for more than half of my 21 years of life, and I will say living without them might be the worst thing I've ever had to endure. I have great experience working with cats and dogs. Mostly with my very own! I have two cats and two dogs, Bella Beauty is the oldest at 14 human years old, definitely the sassyest of the bunch!! She is very versed in tricks and polite despite her sass! Basil Bay is my second dog and is only a year old, she is thirty five pounds and a big bundle of energy!! She's our sweet girl and loves to play and cuddle up on the couch, she also absolutely adores food!! Twilight Sparkle is my childhood Cat and is quite spoiled with food at her disposal, making her a chunk of pure love! she loves to be pet all over,, even on her tummy! She is also versed in a few tricks like shake, sit, and up! Sunrise Rae, (Kiki) is my other kitty who is very much the independent one of the bunch, she is 12 years old and very shy compared to Twilight, she loves to go outside and climb trees, chase Basil around,(and vis versa) play with cat toys, and sunbathe in the afternoons. I have experience walking, some grooming, feeding , playing With, and cuddling dogs and cat. I have a cleaning job I do two to three days a week, and I was looking to fill the gaps in between with caring for pets! In my home we have an invisible fence for our dogs and an automatic doggy door so the dogs can go outside anytime they need! Kiki also likes to use the door for herself! In my location, I have a small, wooden fenced in area of the yard, but the bigger area is not physically fenced in, so I would take your pet out on a leash to use the potty outside!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.

About: I’ve dog sat for my friends in this area on and off for years. I grew up on a ranch with animals and am comfortable with them. I have a 3 year old chocolate lab who absolutely loves friends to play with and has never had any issues with other dogs or people. I currently work part time, and have a lot of days with full flexibility. Most mornings after my kids go to school I’m free, and weekends or evenings my 12 year old and 8 year old love to walk with or play with dogs with me. My yard is fenced in, and my home is dog friendly. I’m happy to stay in clients homes as well if my schedule with my children allows. I don’t mind driving a bit to go to different neighborhoods for walking either.

About: Hello! I'm Hollis and I've been a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and it is important to find someone to treat and look after your pup as one their own. I have 2 rescues and a large breed dog who all have their unique personalities and quirks. So whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing gentle attention, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. I also have experience training and working with service dogs along with working with therapy animals as a mental health professional specializes in animal assisted therapy . I have a senior golden girl who is partially deaf and has arthritis so I am comfortable working with senior dogs as well. Services Offered: Dog Walking: Regular exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. Drop-In Visits: Quick check-ins for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. Why Choose Me? Dependable: Your pet's well-being and routine are my top priorities. Experienced: I have had dogs all of my life and I have extensive training in understanding dog body language and behavior. Flexible: Customizable services to fit your schedule and your pet's preferences. Passionate: I treat every dog as if they were my own, with love and respect. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved companion. Your dog's happiness is my goal! Contact me to book your pet's next adventure with me! I am in the process of transitioning jobs that will give me more flexibility in my daily work schedule and I also work from home 2 to 3 days a week. During our meet and greet I will ask questions like how gates close, any holes in fences, if your dog is a digger, if your dog is leash reactive or reactive around other dogs, best way to enter the home so the dog isn’t scared or freighted, and how you would like your home locked up after the visit has been completed.

“I would recommend Lynne for all your needs. I liked the feedback everyday. I definitely would like her to come back when I should need her again. Thank you”

Joan M.

“She was such a blessing. This was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate. She provided great pictures and feedback. I would definitely recommend.”

“We are repeat customers because we trust Chelsea. She provides exceptional care and companionship to our fur baby while we are away and always sends pictures ❤️”

“If you want peace of mind for your pets while you are away, Holly will give you that!! She is wonderful. We loved getting the daily updates and photos/videos. The kitties were comfortable with Holly. She made them feel loved and well taken care of. She even went out of her way to bring in our house Amazon boxes that were delivered. We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!”

Maggie D.

“We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed having Bri care for our dogs. The pups took to her immediately and she kept us updated with pictures after every visit. We highly recommend Bri and will be using her again in the near future!”

About: I am patient and caring. Animals have souls, they have feelings and they are a part of our families. I genuinely understand how important our fur babies are to us. I work full-time 8am-5pm Monday - Friday in Pinehurst. I am happy to take care of your pet before and after my shifts. I get an hour for lunch so if your pet is in Pinehurst I am able to offer a walk or drop-in at lunch time as well. I cannot currently host pets at my home due to caring for my own senior kitty who is very uncomfortable around dogs. I am happy to take care of your pet in their environment and familiar surroundings.

About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

“Kyra was great sitter. I would recommend and rebook her again in future.”

“We can’t thank Sarah enough for taking such great care of our girl! We knew instantly after our meet and greet that Sarah is a caring and professional sitter! There’s no question that we will be using Sarah again!”

About: RN and ex-vet tech :) Excellent with dogs and cats, of all breeds, and competent to provide the necessary care for "special needs pets". Excellent trainer if any is needed or any advice. We will enjoy long walks on trails or around your neighborhood. My own animals are completely trained and get along with farm or other domestic animals. I am extremely active and like to keep pets that way too! My house is loaded with fun toys for both cats and dogs. I love to give baths and nail trims, for willing babies. I hope to spend time with your babies soon! Currently taking a break from full-time working and only work PRN as an ICU RN, so I have a lot of free time :) Prefer to take your babies on walks and help them get their exercise, but also happy to follow whatever routine you want! My own animals are very spoiled and loved. They get the maximum amount of cuddles and playtime I can give them, and I want to give that to your babies as well :)

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors and animals requiring extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing basic training, and offering consistent, loving care through long-term pet sitting, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including daytime visits, evening routines, and extended stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to provide consistent, reliable care and adjust as needed. I care for pets the same way I care for my own. I stick closely to their usual routines so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide lots of love, playtime, walks, and cuddles, while making sure meals, medications, and a clean, calm environment are always taken care of.

“Fantastic experience! Chelsea is responsible, capable, and treats our dogs with so much care. Tshe was great with both of mydogs, even with their different personalities. IHighly recommend."”
