“This is our first time using Rover and Val was so sweet and supportive. Our dog, Skippy loved her! Thank you, Val!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.

“Kate is top notch! We've used her a dozen times and will use her services again. Our pup is always elated to see her. She takes her time with him and is never rushed. She's awesome!!”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: I have grown up with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. Animals have always held a special place in my life, and I understand that our animals are a true member of the family and should be treated as such. I have rescued two dogs of my own; we have learned to roll over, lay down, and spin around. With my years of experience and interaction with animals, I can guarantee that your pet will be in the best care. I currently work on an “as needed” basis so I have a very open day-to-day schedule, leaving me with the availability to spend any amount of time with the sweet dogs/cats in my care. I typically spend the weekends at home with a good book, hiking or playing disc golf in my free time, all of which include my dogs by my side. My dogs are obsessed with the water, so we are often found fishing or swimming at the river or lake when the weather is ideal. I will be caring for my dogs or others animals some of the time so if house-sitting, I might have to come and go here and there but your animals will always be top priority during that time. I will communicate with you before booking what my schedule will look like. I take my pups to the local parks or hiking trails at least a few times a week for new smells and extra activity. I am willing/able to take your dogs to new places if you would like, depending on how well they do in the car. I always dedicate at least 1-2 hours a day to my dog’s physical activity, so your pups will definitely have the opportunity to exercise and release all that energy, followed by an evening of many cuddles and sleeping in the bed. (if allowed)

About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past 4 years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies during the week. I work full days on Fridays, but outside of that I’m flexible. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love.

“Kristine was great with our dog, great to work with! Would hire again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young. I’ve had many pets of my own growing up. I have experience watching my neighbors and families dogs over the years, drop in visits, house sitting etc. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant and I am going to school to become a Veterinary Technician. Working as a Veterinary Assistant i’ve come in contact with Cats/Dogs of all temperaments and sizes and I am confident in my abilities to care for any animal that comes my way. I am currently working as a Veterinary Assistant. I am off Thursday and on the weekends so that would be the time I am most available to look after your fur babies. I will always treat your animals and your home with respect. You should always treat others and their things how you would like to be treated and that is the moto I will live by when watching over your beloved pets.

“Thanks for taking care of Giselle while I was away :)”

Charnelle O.

“Rissa has been nothing short of amazing with my dogs. She spent plenty of time with the dogs and made sure they got lots of love and attention. I also felt reassured having her as a walker with all the constant updates and pics. She also managed to get our dogs to walk better then they ever have. We will absolutely be using her again”

About: Been watching dogs since I was in high school. My neighbors, friends and family rely on me to watch their dogs whenever they’re away on vacation anywhere from weekend trip to multiple weeks away. I’m currently working part time so, I have plenty of time to check in on your pups! Currently available Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays any time. On Saturdays anytime after 2pm Have a dog to keep your fur baby company! She’s an older dog but loves to play chase in the backyard. If needed can put pup in crate.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life. I had my precious Shh-tzu, Mugsy, for 15 years. I I have debated getting another dog. I think right now I would just love to show love to other dogs. Great room in our yard for play! My husband and I also had a farm in Angier with horses, alpacas, a donkey, a sheep, birds. We loved them dearly. When my husband got hip surgery, and then cancer surgery, we decided to find them good homes. Miss them to this day. I have been retired for almost a year. Very flexible schedule through the day. I walk and play outside with them through the day. I spend a lot of one on one time with them. I will basically do whatever you feel comfortable with in regards to caring for your pet. It is just my husband and I at home now, both of us are retired. I am willing to take pets to the doctor or to beauty salon for a little extra expense.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. My father used to be a breeder and I would always help him with feedings and training. I am currently a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty time and energy to care for your pets, I will give them all the best love I would give my own I have a huge beautiful yard to play in. Home is somewhat close to the road but it is not a busy street at all.

About: I work from home, which makes it easy for me to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. My work from home schedule also allows for me to have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks during the work day. I have one dog, Jippy, who is basically a goofy teddy bear. He spends a lot of time with other dogs and loves having fur friends around. I love animals and can promise yours will be in good hands with me. Feel free to send me a message with any questions! I currently work from home in a job that allows me flexibility. This allows me to provide care for your dog, whether in-home, or just a drop-in or walk. Whatever parameters are set for your pet will be followed. I have experience with dogs with many different personalities and needs and am happy to adapt as necessary to keep them comfortable.

“Renae was awesome with my 5 year old and took care of our 3 month old puppy! She sent pics of them playing and on walks and went above and beyond with our pupps. I would recommend Renae to anyone. Thank You Ranae”
