“Bailey is amazing. Stayed in touch the entire week and Socks loved spending time with her playing in the garden. Loved the photos! Definitely going to be our go to dog sitter”
“Five stars are too few to capture how wonderful an experience it was to work with Ellen. Communicative, kind, and exceptionally caring to Atlas and Daphne - Ellen is exactly the kind of person you hope to find to make travel away from your pets as stress-free as it can possibly be.”
“Betsy came to meet my puppy before her drop in sessions and got to learn about socks and meet him. He loved her immediately and she was good with him straight away. I love the photos each day. I would definitely recommend Betsy for all your pets needs, cannot thank her enough.”
“Dana is above and beyond fantastic! I would use her again for any check in. She takes her time and I can tell she really loves the animals. Quick to respond and very communicative. Came home to a clean apartment and happy kitty. Thank you!”
“Jordan did a great job! We were unable to have her over to meet the cats and show her around but she had no problem anyway! We will certainly have her back next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Samantha was great, and I really appreciated her flexibility with visit times. She was also very understanding of one of my pups who gets scared easily. Thank you for all your help, Samantha!”
About: I have a huge place for animals in my heart. I have been a cat mom for 13 years and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family since high school. I even had the privilege recently of driving my best friend’s Frenchies across the country as she was relocated in the military! I have had many dogs growing up that range in size from a lab, a Rottweiler and even an English mastiff. I love dogs of all breeds and think being around animals is so good for mental health. I am so excited for the opportunity to spend time with yours in between my classes. As a full time graduate student, I will be spending a significant amount of my time on the UNC campus. I am hoping to find homes in the area with animals that need to be let outside or walked while their parents are working. I am very respectful of other people’s privacy and property. At your home, I will be there to do a job and I take that seriously. I will give your pets love and attention, as well as do what I can to protect their safety.
“Autumn took great care of our dog. She took lots of pictures, included detailed notes on how the visits went, and was incredibly easy going! We will definitely book her for future visits and recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Cassie responded quickly to my request for a pet sitter, took great care of my dog, and shared photos with each visit. I will reach out to her for future bookings, and I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
About: I come from a farm where I have cared for over 50 different animals with my families. We have cared for elderly dogs, dogs with serious health complications and dogs of high energy levels. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and have been pet sitting for 15 years. I work a full time job but there are days when my flexibility to work from home is greater. I also can more easily board your pet than visit. Your pet is treated like those I have called my own. I will follow your care instructions and make sure your pet is engaged throughout the day.
“Merrily took care of my dog during the weekend, she was great at communication, sending a lot of updates and pics with my dog, who looked so happy in her company! 10/10 would recommend her services and I definitely book with her again in the future”
“Nadia is a gem. She was wonderful at watching my fur babies and they don’t take easily to just anybody. She was kind, patient, and very transparent about what went well and what was a challenge. In the end, Nadia was able to get my Coffee to warm up to her. I will definitely call her again.”
About: I am skilled with remembering certain medication regimens or any specific schedule you may have your pet on. Paying attention to their happiness and safety is my biggest concern. I am more than happy to walk them, play with them or simply offer care in the home while you maybe be away. I am an avid animal lover and grew up with dogs. I recently adopted a rescue cat. I look forward to meeting your pet and providing the best care for them! I am able to cater to the needs of each pet and can be flexible when looking after them. Their comfort and safety are my top priorities!
“Hannah provided OUTSTANDING communication and service while watching my cat. She truly went above and beyond my expectations with both her care of my pet and daily reviews. HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing assistance with watching their pet.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’m experienced with walking, feeding, cleaning, and playing! I also have experience with identifying ticks or fleas and following up with the proper care. I’m currently on the job search journey, so my schedule is super flexible at the moment! I’d be more than happy to provide mid-day care or longer term sitting in your home. At this time I am unable to care for pets in my home. I have 8 years of experience sitting others’ pets in their homes, and I can be available with fairly short notice!
