“Alishia is a great neighbor and dog sitter! I highly recommend. She was communicative the whole trip and made sure my dog was fed, had time to potty, and even some cuddles. I felt my dog and home was safe with her visiting when I needed her. Even when my dog fell sick, she went the extra mile to keep me posted and checking on her. I’m glad she is local to Chapel Hill and will be using her services again.”
About: I have a 4 year old golden and have many years of experience with dogs and cats alike. I grew up pet sitting neighbors animals, and my friends always trust their dogs with me. For in house boarding, I will treat your pet as my own. For drop in services, I will play with your pet and give them love and attention. I often pet sit for friends and family and am looking to expand my services to my surrounding community. I work from home and can let your pup out on lunch or before/after work.

About: I’ve raised dogs my entire life and cannot think of a better companion. I’m a former dog trainer, former volunteer at a veterinary clinic, and I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, livestock, chickens, reptiles, birds, and more for over 15 years. I worked and managed a PetSmart Pet Care department for 7 years. I currently work a M-F job remotely. I will watch all breeds, no exclusions. If you have a puppy, I’ll be happy to keep up with your training commands and routines. I believe that you should feel no stress about leaving your pet behind. I’ll even send you photos and videos! I’m available for boarding every day of the week. I work remotely from home Monday thru Friday. For drop-in appts, I’m only available Saturdays and Sundays. For boarding clients, I have a brand new, secure fenced in yard. Our neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walks. For drop-in clients, I can only visit Saturdays and Sundays due to my work schedule.
About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.
“Sarah was fantastic with our two pups! Diligent with sending us pictures and her notes. Our dogs are happy and well taken care of and you can’t ask any more than that! Thanks Sarah!!!”

“Thank you Katie for popping in Saturday while Todd and I were at my cousin's wedding. And thank you for tolerating Gizmo and his puppy habits :-). Have a Happy Halloween!”

About: I have previously worked as a puppy raiser for GDF for 4 years. I have raised a golden retriever, Danny, from age 8 weeks - 1.5 years old, and he was in training to be a service dog in Florida. He was in Florida for about 8 months. He was eventually "career-changed" to a couch potato, so I got to adopt my perfect boy. I have also raised Tweety, who went on to be a successful breeder for the Guide Dog Foundation. I am so passionate about puppies and I love to love dogs. I graduated from UGA in 2018 and am a real estate agent with a passion for people and pups! I can work with all dogs & am pretty good at obedience training too! I am extremely patient when working with pups and I love older doggies as well. I work from home as a real estate agent and have extremely flexible hours so I am able to take care of your pup just about whenever & wherever! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly older golden retriever who loves to meet new friends! We go on hikes at the State Park and also walk around our neighborhood as well
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”


“Cassy is the ABSOLUTE best! I can’t say enough good things about her. We have hired her to dog sit and do drop in visits and have been so blessed to have her look after our animals. She always checks in and takes pictures of our dogs and sends them to us when we’re away. She is an excellent communicator and our dogs LOVE her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their animals.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a sophomore in high school, graduated in 2019. I volunteered and then became a worker at a groomer near me. Loved my job, and have cared for many animals since. Currently do not have a job, so I have a free schedule and nothing but love to give to the fur babies, including cats of course. I am very respectful to others homes and belongings. I only want to care for the animals, very trustworthy. If staying at my home, I am sure to take them out every hour, hour in a half unless given specific details. They have their free roam, I also have a pretty decent sized screen in back porch that they can run around a little in.
About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve always had dogs in my adult life. I have approx 14 years experience fostering all ages and all breeds of dogs for the animal shelter and various dog rescues. I also provided basic obedience training during their stay with me. I have a lot of experience keeping dogs separated due to reactivity and I can manage rotations safely. Most of the dogs I’ve fostered were bully breeds. I have a lot of personal experience with Boxers and French Bulldogs. My dogs get fed twice a day and get to lounge around on the couch when I’m home! We spend time outside running around the large yard! I prefer to board crate trained, well behaved, dog-friendly dogs. If your dog is young and still working on training, please let me know as I should be able to assist with continued basic obedience practice while boarding. I have a lot of training experience!
“Elizabeth and Michael did a really good job with our dog. He is going on 15 years old now and requires extra care on walks. They took their time with him to make sure he was getting around ok and always checked in on him on time. We could relax on vacation knowing that he was in good hands with them.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bri! We have a geriatric St. Bernard and Bri did a fantastic job of doing drop in visits with her while we were out of town. Highly recommended, trustworthy, reliable, and thorough!”

“Sarah did an excellent job taking care of our 17 year old kitty! We were a little worried about leaving her, but she bonded with Sarah right away. And I loved the pictures Sarah sent us! Sarah also went over and above, taking care of a few other things at our house for us. She was a real pleasure to work with, and we will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Carley — a lifelong animal lover, a mom of three, and the proud owner of a sweet, energetic dog named Millie and a laid-back cat named Mac. Caring for animals has been woven into my life from the very beginning. I grew up surrounded by farm animals and learned early on how to handle, nurture, and truly understand different personalities, needs, and quirks. Before becoming a SSS Professional, I ran a small pet-care business called All Things Living, where I cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy pups who need structured walks to gentle seniors who appreciate patient companionship, I’ve always loved connecting with animals and making them feel safe, understood, and loved. My employment allows me to have the flexibility and attentiveness to give your pet the consistent care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or extra snuggles, I treat every pet like part of the family — because that’s how I’d want someone to care for mine. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I am available for home visits 7 days a week between 6am - 11pm, May - August. I am more than happy to keep your furry baby at our home if they are okay with children, dogs, cats and the noise that comes with them! I am also occasionally available for house sitting. I live in an active neighborhood called Chapmans Retreat with wonderful sidewalks for walking and a bubbling creek in our backyard for romping. There is ample space for your fur baby to run and a cozy home to rest.
