About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every pet like they’re my own! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep you in the loop with plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind! Pets of All Ages – Comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors, and happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine. Senior Pet Care – Experienced and comfortable caring for older pets who may need a little extra patience, assistance, or attention throughout the day. Insulin Injections – Experienced administering twice-daily insulin injections according to a pet’s prescribed schedule and care routine. Medication Management – Comfortable administering medications and keeping up with consistent dosing schedules and instructions. Communication & Updates – I know how much you want to know that your fur babies are doing well while you’re away! I provide regular updates, photos, and anything else that helps you feel connected and reassured. 🐾📸 Most importantly, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to accommodate my clients’ needs. My work-from-home days can be adjusted when needed, allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away, so I make every effort to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I’m attentive to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual habits—and I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and care they would get at home.
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter to take our girl, Millie, off of our hands for a few hours so we could celebrate our baby shower! I would not hesitate to have her watch Millie again! Thank you Sarah ?”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sophia! She helped me out last minute, was quick to respond, and treated my dog Tiko like her own. He came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Communication is great. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’m a dog mom so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog. He’s my buddy and we’ve gone on more hikes and walks than I can count. I trained him when he was a little pup and I cared for him post surgery when he needed a little extra love and support (he gets a lot🥰). I’ve helped my family and friends by caring for their dogs when they go away or get stuck at work. I also volunteer at the animal shelter where most of my time is spent dog walking. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and my dog is my baby so I can promise that I will take the very best care of your pup!💛 I’m flexible with timeframes and requests as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to help and I can’t wait to meet your pup!😊 Being a dog mom, dog-sitting, and volunteering at the animal shelter have all helped me develop the necessary skills to take the very best care of your pup!
About: I adopted my first dog Benson when he was 6 and cared for him through his senior years. I started fostering in 2020 to give him company. I've cared for litters of (too) young puppies through adults and seniors dealing with medical and behavioral issues, and from every breed and size. My two current dogs, Keeley & Brisket, are foster fails. I've always loved dogs and will love your dog as much as my own. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs my whole life. I got my first dog, a black lab, when I was 3. I sat for friends' dogs since college and volunteered with the Humane Society. I finally have my own dogs but still love meeting and caring for other dogs. Meet my pets Keeley is a 4 year old chow mix that loves herding people to the couch for snuggles. Brisket is a supermutt puppy still learning her manners but friendly with all dogs and people. My cat, Meowedith, is a ~16 year old rescue. She's very sweet but takes a little time to get comfortable with new people and dogs. She is fine with dogs if they give her her space when she wants it. About my yard I have a fenced in backyard. My experience administering medication I administer pills and injections through Freedom Ride Rescue. I work from home and will be available most of the day for meals, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I live near downtown so if I go out on the evenings or weekends I am close to home to check in on the pups! I have a fenced in yard for running around and live near the greenway for walks. I have a ton of dog beds everywhere and dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a spare room if your dog needs their own space away from me or my dogs.
“Natalie did an excellent job walking jasper last week! She was especially kind during the hottest week we have had in Raleigh in years! Thank you so much Natalie for your wonderful help with Jasper. Susan”

“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”

“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”


About: I have been taking care of friends’ and family members’ pets since I was 10. My family has three dogs of all different sizes, and we love them all dearly! I have experience with all types of pet care, from sitting and walking to stopping in to feed and check on pets. I am responsible and attentive, and I definitely understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet while you are away. I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention! I will also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Above all, I love animals and would love to help take care of yours! I am currently a full-time college student, but I have plenty of flexibility in my weekly schedule! I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends after 11 a.m. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I am also happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule and routine whenever possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a dog park area, making it easy to provide plenty of outdoor time, walks, and playtime. I am also completely comfortable caring for pets in their own home and understand that many pets are happiest sticking to their usual routine. I am happy to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or any other specific needs your pet may have. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care!
About: I worked at a vet hospital and had the opportunity to be around, care for, and play with lots of different dogs and cats. I would administer medicine, clean areas for animals so they are safe, make them the most comfy, walk the dogs, clean litter boxes, even throw in a few treats when possible. I am currently a full time college student. I’m working on my bachelors in animal science. I’m able to have a wide variety of availability. I will make sure bowls are clean, food properly measured or full, water refreshed with every visit, tummies are full, and hearts are the happiest they can be. Every animal is always treated as if it were my own. Each animal deserves only the best of care.
“Carlee was amazing! Booked her last minute for three walks for my dog Fox. She was very communicative and provided great updates. She was also right on time for each walk! Will definitely be my top choice for walking Fox in the future!”

About: I have been petsitting and dog walking my neighborhood pets for several years and had the privilege to work as a research technician who helped in husbandry at UNC Chapel Hills Division of Comparative Medicine canine unit. I love making new furry friends and gaining experience to help my pre-veterinary journey as a college student! I am a college student who has classes int the morning and afternoon and ask for your patience to fit the service around my class schedule! I am a flexible person none the less:) I have a fenced yard for my dog to keep them from getting out and my cat is an inside cat who stay in the upstairs bedrooms

Kiyah was so lovely to work with. She's so caring and helpful, she made life so much easier. I knew my pup was well cared for with her. And how much she cared about him came through in every update and communication from her. He's an old dog who is set in his ways and I know that she made having to deal with change so much easier for him. She is flexible and so helpful.

Katie has been the best dog walker for our dog, Otis! She is reliable, friendly and trustworthy. He is always excited to see her and comes back from his walks happy and significantly calmer. Our toddler loves her too 😊. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking or sitting!

Kira was absolutely wonderful with Max! She was very kind, reliable, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Max is a high-energy dog, and Kira handled him with patience and care. She kept us updated and made the whole experience stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would happily book her again in the future! 🐾❤️

Adreanna was great! She took excellent care of Tonto and was very easy to work with throughout the entire booking. I never had to reach out or worry about anything, and I always felt confident that Tonto was in good hands. For anyone with a senior dog, I highly recommend. I’m sure she’s great with all dogs as well. I would absolutely book with her again.

Yanke has been wonderful with our big anxious boy! He was a late Covid puppy and did not get much out of the house socializing. she has been great at handling him and he seems to really enjoy his walks with her! He does not like most people and is dog reactive. She has been able to handle him on walks no problem.

My dogs adore Chase! Somehow, they always know when he's coming and they wait at the door for him, then push me out of the way to greet him when he arrives. He always shows up on time, lets me know when he is on his way, and is extremely personable and kind to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a dog walker!
