House Sitting Climax

“Kendal was very reliable and took care of my baby on such short notice! Great service and very professional. This is my first time using a sitter, and so I was nervous and anxious but Kendal made the experience easy, and took care of my pup very well! Will definitely book again with her!”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I've also volunteered with animal rescue organizations, helping foster pets, support adoptions, and assist with trap-neuter-return efforts for stray cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—including my rescued pet possum, Rocky, who has become best friends with my cat! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide loving, dependable care while you're away. I took voluntary retirement in December 2025, so I am available to spend time with your furry friends 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. or overnight, all days of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, as well as your home, too. I am detailed, affectionate, reliable - and very tidy and clean!

“Jayden was great. She stayed @ our home for a couple of days watching our 2 dogs. She was a great communicator and left the house in great shape. The dogs seemed to enjoy her. Would definitely recommend Jayden and will use her when needed for future dates!”

About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 20 years and lost my sweet rescued shepherd collie mix, Roxie, 12 years ago. Since then I’ve found comfort in caring for and loving other people’s dogs. Dogs are the best! I currently work part time teaching a few exercise classes a week, so I have lots of time and attention to devote to your pets. I’m available most days of the week, nights and days. I have a small home where your dog will feel cozy and comfortable, with 126 acres of woodland, a dog park, and rail trail to walk and play on.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have taken care of turtles, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs and cats. I have dealt with new born dogs and elder care for dogs kittens and older cats. I have clipped nails and worked around many health concerns. I am excited to meet your animal(s) and give it the love it deserves. I am currently a student at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. My current schedule works out so that I am only taking classes in the morning from 8 - 11pm. This allows me all afternoon to spend with your pet. Most days I am free from class and only have a short meeting to attend. I am very flexible in my schedule. I have dog sat before for over a week and am able to build a good rapport with you dog making sure that they feel safe and loved where they are most comfortable.

“Michelle was a great in home dog sitter. She accepted adjusted schedule with ease. Michelle gave photo feedback and many texts for updates. Would book with Michelle again”

About: With 30+ years of experience working with animals, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to every pet in my care. My background includes pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavior modification and training, and animal rescue. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science as well as a Master’s degree. I offer in-home boarding for dogs under 30 pounds, in-home pet sitting visits (including cat care), house sitting, and dog walking services. My veterinary and caregiving experience allows me to confidently care for pets with a wide range of medical and special needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and assisting with surgical recovery—from minor procedures to major orthopedic recoveries and rehabilitation. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs and cats. Three of my own dogs have had heart conditions, and two of those also experienced seizures, so I understand firsthand the additional attention and care that medically complex pets can require. I have taken numerous obedience and training classes with my own dogs and have extensive experience with training and behavioral modification. While your pet is in my care, my goal is not simply to keep them safe, but to help them feel happy, comfortable, loved, and enriched while you're away. Pet sitting visits are 20-30 minutes long and there’s no additional fee for additional pets. Overnights include staying at your home between the hours of 9pm-6am. Additional fees for lunch and late afternoon visits will incur if needed during overnight bookings. A Family Home for Your Dog I am a mom to three wonderful, animal-loving daughters and serve as the North Carolina Rescue Coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I currently have three dogs of my own, and our family regularly welcomes foster and boarding dogs into our home. My children and dogs are accustomed to having new furry friends join us and genuinely enjoy welcoming them! Our boarders are treated just like our own pets. They are welcome throughout our home, including on the furniture, and are included in our normal family routine. I'm home most of the time, and when I do need to leave, it's generally for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. Our home also features a secured, covered deck attached to a fenced yard, giving the dogs a safe and enjoyable outdoor space to relax and play with us. We use baby gates throughout the home where appropriate to help prevent accidental escapes through doors, unsupervised access to stairs, and other potential safety concerns. Because I want to provide a calm, personalized experience, I do not board dogs from multiple families at the same time. Your dog will receive my full attention rather than being one of many dogs in a crowded boarding environment. Requirements for In-Home Boarding To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, dogs staying in my home must: Be comfortable and experienced around children and other dogs Be housetrained (pee-pad trained dogs are not accepted) Be current on vaccinations or have proof of appropriate titer levels Be maintained on heartworm and flea prevention Be neutered if male Be spayed if female, or not be in heat during the boarding stay Be crate trained, which is important for their safety during the brief periods when I need to leave the house Pass a required meet-and-greet before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog—and that your dog is a good fit for our family You will need to provide your dog's regular food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off are available by appointment only between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. My philosophy is simple: when your pet is in my care, they are treated like family. I want you to have peace of mind knowing that your dog or cat is receiving experienced, attentive, individualized care from someone who truly understands animals and loves what she does. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dogs and children. When I do need to leave, it’s just for quick errands or driving the kids somewhere. I’m available midday each day, for walks and drop-in visits for cats, farm animals, etc. We have a fenced yard, gates throughout the house, and deadbolt all doors to ensure we take extra time to secure dogs before entering and exiting.

“Nakia took care of Ivy at the last second and I am very grateful for her. She was attentive of Ivy and her tendencies after only knowing her a short time. Sent me pictures every day!”

About: I have worked in and managed a dog daycare in Greensboro for over 3 years. I’ve gained years of experience in dog management, dog safety and quality pet care. I work until about 4pm during most weekdays, so I am happy to come pet-sit, visit or walk your pet anytime in the late afternoon or evening. I am able to be somewhat flexible if you need me on a particular weekday. I am often able to work my schedule around your needs if given enough notice. I am more available on weekends and can arrange most any time to come and watch or play with your pup! I would be open to being a full time nanny depending on the hours needed. It is extremely important to me to understand your pet’s specific needs and personality. I strive to gain all the information needed to take care of your pup and give them the most enriching experience possible!

About: If you're looking for a dog walker, boarding, or staying at your home to watch your pets then look no further! I have cared for many pets ranging from puppies to senior animals to reptiles. I work at the NC Zoo, so I am able to go home and let dogs out/walk them over my hour lunch. I do watch my parents 2 Australian shepherds whenever they are out of town at my home, with a fenced in backyard, and my 2 cats get along with the dogs fine! I am a full-time zookeeper with a rotating schedule. I am available for at home care, overnight care as well as drop in visits throughout the week! I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 animal friendly cats. If needed, I am able to close my cats into their separate room when I'm not home. If providing care at client's home, I will walk, feed, medicate and play with them as well as spend the night if needed.

“Valerie was great, we got lots of pictures and updates of the pups while traveling, made it feel like they were very much loved while we were gone!”

About: I have volunteered at the Feline Urgent Rescue & Rehab in Waynesville, NC. I have 4 cats and 1 dog in my family home and I love all animals!! I am currently a college student at UNCG. I have lots of time to play and care for your fur babies after class and studying. I can follow all the rules for you and your pet. I can crate them if needed, let them outside and keep an eye on them. I will treat your pets with respect and relay any information to you.

“Did a wonderful job and very good with communication.”

“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”

About: I’m a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and believes they deserve the same patience, care, and affection they receive from their own family. I was raised around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Being around dogs from a young age has taught me how to be patient with different personalities, recognize when a pet may be uncomfortable or need extra attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re someone’s family, and I treat them that way. Pet sitting is currently a part-time job for me, as I do have another job. I’ll primarily be available on weekends, but as I build my clientele, I hope to expand my availability and offer more flexible dates, including Sunday evenings and additional days for repeat clients. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! I’m open to providing a variety of pet care services, including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. While I’m unable to board pets in my own home because I have my own pet, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your house rules and your pet’s routine, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while making sure their food, water, medications, potty breaks, and other needs are handled according to your instructions. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

“Sarah was wonderful with our two dogs! She was very patient with one skittish dog and took her time getting the dog to connect. She communicated with me and shared pictures frequently. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, and horses. Family and friends have entrusted me in caring for their animals. It’s always been a great passion of mine to care for pets! I am a full time college student and have a part-time job but I am flexible with schedules in order to care for your furry friends! I want your pets necessities and care to come first as they are important to you as they are to me. I am able to care for your pets in your home to keep them as comfortable as possible. I can provide potty breaks, crate your pets when needed, feed, walk, bathe and play with your pets.

“Amazing sitter, my pets have never been happier”

“Did a awesome job house sitting my babies 🙀😊”

Lisa W.

“Laurin was great! She stayed at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She was very communicative and sent several updates/photos while we were away; I never had to ask how things were going. She left our house neat and clean (and washed our bed sheets)! Our dogs are happy and seem like they had a great, stress-free weekend! We'll definitely be reaching out to Laurin again in the future.”
