“Adrian is the best! He is super communicative and sends lots of pictures of your fur baby throughout the day so you can see what they’re up to! My dog has separation anxiety and requires extra care, and Adrian was super attentive, making sure that she was comfortable and happy all day long. We will definitely be back!”


“Glinda enjoyed her visit with Jessica, hanging out in peaceful surroundings with other dogs, and a cat! and taking nice walks. Jessica was great at sending photos and letting me know how Glinda was doing, and Glinda certainly looked relaxed and happy and will definitely stay with Jessica again.”


“We hit the jackpot. :) Reached out to Cynthia very last minute as we were passing through Chapel Hill to catch a volleyball game. She was open to watch our Golden and it couldn’t have worked out better. She made us feel so comfortable with the drop off and her knowledge of dogs from a first impression gave us peace of mind to enjoy our evening. Can’t recommend her enough! Great communication, drop off and pick up. And our pup is passed out for the night! :)”


“Angelina is the SWEETEST. I received pics, videos and updates/feedback as the day progressed & Juno was super happy when she came home. I look forward to sending Juno to visit with Angelina in the future! ???”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I bring both heartfelt dedication and professional expertise to every furry friend I meet. My journey began with my first puppy, who I lovingly walked daily, bathed with care, and shared my home and heart with. This deep bond inspired me to pursue a degree in Animal Science at UC Davis, where I specialized in companion animals and gained comprehensive knowledge of pet health, behavior, and care. Throughout my undergraduate years, I volunteered and interned at numerous shelters and clinics, where I assisted with surgery prep and recovery, microchipping, post-op care, feeding, and cleaning. These experiences sharpened my ability to recognize early signs of illness and deliver calm, capable care—even in medical situations. At home, I care for two adopted cats who were originally rescued from a shelter. I’ve provided them with a safe, loving environment ever since they first arrived as house-sitting guests. Whether it’s walking dogs, managing senior or special-needs pets, or offering overnight stays, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine since I currently only have a flexible part-time job. I usually work 2 shifts per week (each shift is 4-hour long), and the rest of the time I’ll be home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily accommodate daily walks, feedings, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities—whether I’m doing drop-in visits, day care, or boarding in my home. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and always follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. With my animal science background and clinical experience, I’m confident in handling medications, special needs, and spotting early signs of illness. I treat every pet like family and always keep you updated with messages and photos.

“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone who wasn't us, and we were very nervous. Heather did a great job helping our puppy feel comfortable and helping me feel comfortable by sending me videos. Highly recommend Heather.”


“I had to leave my dog for a long day this weekend and I’m so grateful this worked out. They were great at knowing how to be mindful of introducing my dog to the new space and to their pups, they were great with communication and my dog was well taken care of and happy, so I’m happy! Thanks! ???”


“Yesel was wonderful! Our dog had a great time with her and her sweet dog Ripley. She was also super flexible and understanding with coordinating pick-up and drop-off plans when we ran into some scheduling issues with our house sitter. It was clear that she was experienced and comfortable with dogs and caring for them. We will definitely contact her again!”


About: I've taken care of friends' and neighbors' pets from a very young age and always felt a strong bond with animals of all types. My participation in behavioral training with my dog has made me well equipped to handle a variety of situations in other dogs, as well! I am trained on administration of certain medications. I work part time and am applying to medical school at this time. I stay home most days and like to walk my dog on some nearby trails when the weather is nice. Frequent potty breaks. Lots of areas to walk in a quiet neighborhood and on nearby trails. Experience with behavioral issues in dogs so light training and positive reinforcement mechanisms will be practiced!

About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!

“Cricket loved coming to Danielle's house. She made sure he was comfortable, stayed cool during a heat wave, and she sent cute updates. Communication before and during the booking was stellar. Will definitely ask her to look after Cricket again!”


About: I’ve loved animals every since I was a young child. I actually prayed for the dog I have now and I have taken care of him ever since. I also have previous experience with closely taking care of my neighbors dog such as boarding, dog walks, and daily visits. I am currently free this entire summer so I am extremely flexible with time. I love early morning walks but anytime of the day is perfect for me! I have a personal dog at home that is extremely friendly. I also have a large front and back yard that is gated which guarantees that I will have plenty of space and opportunity to play with your pet!

About: As a regular pet sitter, my commitment goes beyond just feeding and walking. With years of experience, I specialize in personalized care tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing gentle care for seniors, or bathing, I ensure they feel loved and safe in my care. I am a babysitter as well, I have a very flexible schedule and usually work short hours and not on a regular basis. I am able to stay super attentive to your animals and will make sure they are well taken care of! I have a very safe area in my apartment for dogs to go and play and near me there is many walking trails where your dog will go on amazing walks.

Walker & Alexandra B.
“My dogs love Walker so much! We hired him to walk our dogs last year when we had appointments and whatnot and they fell in love with him immediately! He is a dog person through and through and the dogs just KNOW this. They respond to his energy and love! He is punctual, quick to respond to requests, and reliable. He never backs out at the last minute and he always keeps his commitments. After he walked our five small dogs -- in shifts for their safety! -- we hired him to dog sit. When we went on a vacation to Palm Springs one weekend, he arrived on time and the dogs were so happy to see him. He then sent us regular pictures of them several times a day, took them on several bathroom breaks and walked them twice a day.”

Alice T.
“I’ve known Alice for many years, and I can confidently say she’s one of the most caring and responsible people I’ve ever met—especially when it comes to animals. Her passion for pet care runs deep, and it shows in everything she does. Alice has personally taken care of my pets multiple times, and I’ve always been impressed by her attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. She goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Her background in animal science and hands-on experience at shelters and clinics make her not just a loving sitter, but a highly knowledgeable and professional one, too. I’ve seen firsthand how well she handles pets of all kinds, including those with medical needs or anxious temperaments. She’s also raised her own pets with incredible care—her two adopted cats are healthy, confident, and clearly thriving under her watch. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced to care for your pet, Alice is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

Your clients will be assured that their pets will be cared for better than they could hope for. Best regards, Mary”
