About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 11, and over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, and look after their feline companions while they’re away. As a cat owner myself, I understand their unique needs and how to provide the best care. While I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve spent plenty of time with family and friends’ dogs and am comfortable taking them on walks and providing loving care. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. I look forward to caring for your furry friends! I am currently working part time and would have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I am most available for fulltime sitting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays however am very flexible for drop-ins to check on your pet or walk them throughout the week. I am attentive and careful - while your furry friend is in my care, I will make sure they are safe & secure whether in your home or mine.
“Cynthia B. is absolutely wonderful. I have a very timid boxer, who is very weary of new people. Cynthia was so patient with Tina, she broke in with her so fast. Tina is so excited to be with Cynthia and her pack every day. Tina gets a nice long walk and comes home tired and happy!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I love all types of animals and I am reliable, timely and organized. I am currently missing my family pets and am looking for some pet time while I am in grad school at UNC :) I am in school, so my weekdays are super flexible to be with your pets! My classes typically end by noon. I am also available on the weekend. I am comfortable with using a crate if needed in your home. I will make sure that your pet is safe when walking them and taking them outside of your home!
About: Hi, my name is Caroline and I’d love to walk your dogs! I have always lived with dogs and/or cats of all different breeds and sizes and have worked extensively with the free-roaming populations of dogs in the Southwestern US. I also have experience with difficult to walk dogs and puppies, but am not partial to any pup :) I am currently a student with a flexible schedule and often have time in the late afternoon or evenings to walk your dogs. I can also work with different schedules to best accommodate your needs. I always try and let my/your dogs lead the walk; stopping to sniff is super important! I prefer walking on the rail trails or in neighborhoods!
“Katie has been taking care of my two pups for a couple of weeks now and she’s been wonderful! Very communicative and my babies love when she comes. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for pet sitting or dog walking!”

My compassionate approach ensures every pet feels safe and loved while in my care. As a college student with summer break approaching, my schedule is opening up, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care.

About: *If you rebook with me, let’s talk about locking your rates 😊 I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from chihuahuas to pits to large mutts, as well as cats. I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with several dogs, cats, and even goats. I'd love to set up a time to chat and/or meet your pet to really get to know you & your pets' needs! I am comfortable administering oral medications to both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time with flexible, work-from-home hours, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pet. I’m happy to accommodate your schedule, but in general, I’m available for walks and drop-ins Monday-Friday from 8 AM - 7 PM and weekends from 12 PM - 5 PM. For sitting, I’m available any day of the week and can stay at your home (if desired) for most of the day to provide company and care. I’d love to make sure your pet gets the attention and routine they need! I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their routine, respecting their space, and ensuring a stress-free environment. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm and familiar atmosphere, sticking to their pet’s feeding, walking, and play schedules. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly. I also ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times to prevent any accidents.

Caroline K.
“Caroline is an excellent pet caregiver. As a family, we've had two dogs and a cat, all of which she had a loving relationship with and significant involvement in their daily needs. She has an outstanding attention to detail, is very organized, and responsible beyond her years. Caroline has worked in social work, family, and child healthcare in her early career and is currently working toward her masters degree in public health at the Gillings School. The passion she has for human rights and affordable care extends seemlessly to that of animal protection and wellbeing. She loves the outdoors — especially in North Carolina — and is very active, especially when there's a furry friend to join her. Anyone would be so lucky to have her hang out with their pet(s).”
