“Courtney was amazing with Wrangler! She was available on short notice which was so helpful. He looked so happy in the pics she shared :) will definitely book with her again!”
“Heather is the best!!! She was great with my 2 dogs and they loved her. Heather is kind, friendly, and a great communicator. It’s always great finding someone who takes such good care of your pups while you’re away.”
“Brittani is great! I couldn’t be happier with the way that she cared for my dog. She is responsible, on-time, reliable, and super caring. I could tell from the first moment she met my dog that she has a kind heart and would be a great fit. My feelings about this were validated with all of the update photos and videos that she provided while caring for my dog…it is obvious that she genuinely cares. I am extremely pleased with Brittani’s excellent care overall. All communication was timely, efficient, and effective. I would certainly highly recommend her to friends and family.”
“No poop! She’s so weird.”
“Amazing! Super attentive and detailed! Ashley provided pictures and awesome updates of my pets! I will definitely be using her again in the future if her availability allows it! ☺️”
“Blake walked our two dogs daily for a few weeks while I recovered from an injury. He was friendly, prompt and easy to work with. Both dogs were always so excited to see him.”
“Liz has been a great find for my dogs and I. My schedule is always changing, and I can call Liz in a pinch for help. My dogs are happy and content when I get home from work. Thanks Liz.”
About: I have always loved dogs! I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years and currently own 3. Friends have asked me to pet sit for them on several occasions. I’m experienced in training several puppies. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as well as giving them lots of pets and love. I look forward to helping take care of your beloved doggies! I’m pretty flexible most days and can help out within a close distance to my home regularly. I live in the center of Clayton so any home in Clayton should be feasible. I give them lots of love and attention, take walks, play with them, check their water, feed them if needed, and provide treats if permitted.
About: Hi, I have experience with all types of pets from horses to birds and small animals and I'm happy to provide the best care to meet your pet's specific needs. Most importantly, I love all animal friends. We currently live with a cute cat named Coco and two guinea pigs, Darwin and Gumball. I work part time so I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for and play with your pooch pal or feline friend. I live in an apartment with balcony. (My furnishings are all pet friendly). I would love to take your dog to the nearby dog park though to run around. I have two tweenagers who would absolutely love to play with your pup as well. We also have an outgoing kitty who loves making new friends.
About: I have grown up with cats and a dog and now have a 1 year old tuxedo cat, Palmer, that I recently adopted. I have experience pet sitting dogs, including puppies, and cats. I am full time online college student and have a very flexible schedule for pet sitting. I’m available 7 days a week and for overnight visits. I want to be sure your fur babies are loved and cared for while you are away. I will respect your home and the needs of your pets.
“I have never been more productive and Max has never been happier since Jackie started walking him. After his walk he takes a nice nap which enables me to get my work done before we have a ball break. My high drive working GSD is worn out after his walks and I’m ecstatic!!!!”
About: I was the main caretaker of my dog in my childhood, so I am very familiar with basic responsibilities. I currently help care for our household’s Amazon parrot by feeding, watering, cleaning after him, and keeping him entertained. I am looking for odd jobs starting in mid and end of May after graduating college. Making ends meet while on my search for a full-time job! I am comfortable and familiar with tasks such as feeding and taking pets outside (and cleaning up after them as needed), as well as taking them on walks.
About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!
“April and her kiddos were amazing. They not only took millie on a walk but played fetch with her and gave her treats and lots of love. I will definitely use them again. So many great updates and pictures! Millie had a great birthday weekend with April, even if I couldn’t be there to help her celebrate❤️So thankful for you!”
About: Hi there! My name is Michelle. I have experience with all ages from puppies to seniors. I'm a pet parent with two senior pets myself (a chiweenie and a cat) who have been with me forever. I have experience with medication administration, special diets, and multiple different breeds - labs, shepherds, shih tzu, and daschunds to name a few. Although I live and work in Johnston county now, I also have volunteer experience at the Wake co animal shelter cuddling and walking larger breeds. Safety is my top priority both with my pets and any others in my care. I look forward to chatting more about your specific needs. I work from home full-time on a normal schedule. I am available locally during the week, but I have more open availability on evenings and weekends. Boarding: In my home, we are conscious to keep dangerous things out of reach. Having an unapologetically mischievous dog of my own, I have learned not to leave out anything remotely tasty. There are soft beds filled with fluffy blankets and sheets upstairs and downstairs, and soft places to lie and people-watch in most windows. For pets that stay with me I would be sure to keep them on their normal routines as much as possible for consistency. I have a fenced yard and we also go for walks. Walking or Drop-ins: These visits will be focused around getting needs for exercise, play, and comfort met first. Feel free to provide me with detailed instructions for setting them up comfortably when leaving, locking up and leaving lights on, etc. We can chat about any other requests you may be in need of when we meet.
“Thank you!!”

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, big and small! I’m well versed in multitudes of needs, including feeding times, medication distribution, playtime, walks, cleaning needs, etc. Anything they need, I can most certainly do. I’m free most any day of the week and the weekend, so my schedule is very flexible and open to take care of some new furry friends! I’m very passionate about pet safety! I’m diligent about leashing and crating dogs, paying attention to sneaky cats, and making sure they both are safe and kept in safe environment's both inside and outside. Their safety takes top priority

“We recently used Ellias as our first ever pet sitter. I was hesitant going into the situation since our dog is a senior who requires daily medication, but I was quickly reassured after meeting Ellias. Our dog was well taken care of and we were sent pictures during our time away. As a crazy pet parent who has major anxiety when it comes to leaving our baby, I highly recommend Ellias for all of your pet sitting needs!”
