We loved Brooke! She came for a Drop-in visit. The first time I messaged her, she was quick to respond. She offered to come for a meet and greet free of charge before her first visit. She was easy to talk to and enjoyed our pup. I felt good about asking her to take our fur baby. I appreciated the pictures she sent during her visit. I will definitely use her again!

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life! I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I really miss the love, cuddles they bring. Thankfully, I’ve still been able to spend time with friends’ and family members’ pets, and I love every chance I get to care for them! I work as a teacher and I am mainly available in the evenings and on weekends! I will have more availability over the summer starting mid-June. I live near a great walking trail and have a flexible summer schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for daytime drop-ins, walks, and check-ins!

Wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter. She’s great with our puppy and consistently follows our requests regarding obedience, food, and other details of the visit. She always gives us detailed updates and pictures after her visits, which we love. Knowing she’ll be there to check in on Obie puts us at ease when we want to stay out late or go out of town.

About: Very friendly towards both dogs and dog owners, flexible with different dog breeds, sizes, and conditions. Comfortable with commutation and offering the best possible service 👏 Pet care fits into my schedule almost the entire day by implementing pet care, walking, spending time, and also feeding dogs that I am currently looking after. I’ve been raised in a dog family my entire life and I’m more than knowledgeable with looking after animals including cats and dogs.

Rosa dropped in and walked my anxious dog during the day while I was out of town. She sent detailed updates after each drop in, which eased my mind as I was far from home. She followed all instructions perfectly. I would absolutely reach out to Rosa again in the future.

About: With an upbringing of 7 dogs and caring for them throughout my life, your furry friends are in good hands! Regardless of age or breed they are guaranteed the care and attention they deserve. I just graduated High School and I'm currently home for the summer so I have tons of time to spend with furry friends. In the Fall I will go the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study biomedical engineering. I live right by a park so I have a perfect place to walk dogs. I also feed them, play fetch and rub their bellies to ensure that they are as happy as can be.

About: I’ve on and off taken care of pets of my friends and family since middle school, and my love for animals has yet increased! I also have a little dog of my own, and caring for her has been a pleasure. Currently, I am a college student attending UNC-Chapel hill! When I am home, I am on a daily routine to feeding, walking, and caring for my dog. Consistency is key for pet care! I have a little dog who loves attention, and I give her all of it! Furbabies are my favorite thing and they need play time, yummy food, clean water, and love!

Kate was great with Kai and Misifu! Usually they are pretty scared at first with new people, but they seemed to really like Kate a lot. She’s super gentle and made sure to take care of them as if they were her own. Highly recommended!!!
