House Sitting Climax

“Kendall was amazing with our babies! She kept them stimulated, and gave them plenty of snuggles! She kept us updated on everything! She made sure they were not home by themselves for too long. Would love to use her again!”

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.

“Michelle is awesome! Clear, consistent communication and an obvious love for animals. She was great and will definitely be using her services again. She went above and beyond!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since childhood, including a Pit Bull, a Boston Terrier, and my 3-year-old Boxer. I have also cared for a senior dog who needed medication and extra reassurance during fireworks, and I comfort my own Boxer through his fear of fireworks as well. I’m patient and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, medication schedules, and care preferences while maintaining clear communication and providing regular updates. I am a college student on a nursing pathway, and my class schedule leaves me with flexible time for pet care. My best availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, as well as weekends. I can also accept selected visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays around my morning classes and evening lab schedule. I keep an organized calendar, so I will only accept bookings when I can give your dog reliable, unrushed attention. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household rules; keep dogs securely leashed outdoors; provide fresh water; and send regular updates. I have a 3-year-old Boxer and have previously dog-sat, so I understand the importance of patience, exercise, affection, and watching for changes in behavior. My Boxer currently lives with my family in another city, so there would not be another dog present with me at college. As a nursing-pathway student, I am responsible, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care and safety instructions.

“Amazing sitter, my pets have never been happier”

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.

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.

About: I have worked in veterinary hospitals ever since I was 16 years old. I am CPR certified in humans and animals. I have a home full of an Australian Shepherd, two cats and a very quirky turtle. I consider myself to be a bonus mom to all my pet sitting clientele. I do work from home and with my flexible hours, I would love to incorporate more animals into my life. I am very thankful to have a remote job that can follow me anywhere. I work flexible hours that give me plenty of time to give your babies all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I offer in house pet sitting, medication administration, even trained to offer any injectable medication required. I’m huge on sending my clients photos and updates on their pets throughout my stay and keeping them just as connected. I value a one on one to make your animal love me like second mom.

“My dog is very wary of new people, and therefore requires someone who really understands dogs. Kelly agreed to meet our dog prior to sitting for us, and my husband was amazed at how our dog (who often has fear-based aggression with new people) INSTANTLY loved Kelly! Kelly sent us pictures 2-3 times a day, which showed us that our dog was having a great time! Will definitely book again!”

Taylor S.

“Brielle did a great job our pup and house. Everything was in order and we felt so much better not having to board our girl. Will definitely use again!”

Whitney P.

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 8. Ive had a pet dog and I currently take care of my pet turtle which I’ve had since I was 5. Ive walked plenty of dogs so I’m used to being around them. I’m working a part time job right now so I have all the time in the world. I also take care of my turtle everyday so taking good care of other animals would be perfect for me and my schedule because it gives me something to do. I live in a very family friendly community so you don’t have to worry about your dogs safety and there is also lots of other people walking their dogs as well so i would fit right in walking other dogs

About: I have always had a major love for animals! I currently own 1 cat and 1 dog. I have owned dogs, hamsters, turtles, geckos, and a rabbit. I have experience in raising newborns, puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I have also cared for other types of animals including cats, hamsters, rabbits, turtles, fish, and reptiles. I always make time to play and cuddle with any type of fur baby to make them feel comfortable with me and happy! I can provide just about any service needed: from feeding to potty breaks, walks, grooming, nail trimming, cleaning ears, cleaning up messes, or administering medication. I currently work in an animal hospital, so I am very familiar and comfortable providing any type of pet care! If possible, please request a booking a week from the dates required so I can work that around my job. I am mainly available on the weekends. Will update availability for the weekdays soon. I make sure all choking hazards, loose cords, or anything dangerous are out of reach. I put away all food and meds that aren't necessary at the current time. If a crate is required for a dog or cat when leaving the home, I make it very comfy and supply toys for comfort!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Just reach out whenever you need a helping hand. I am a reliable and trustworthy person and would be more than happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of at home.

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

“Emily and Taylor were fantastic!! We searched for some time to find the perfect match to come and house sit/dog sit for our German Shepherds and now we have found it with them!!! We have one that is a senior and one that can be anxious- so it has to be a good fit all the way around- they came out and solid two visits prior to the actual weekend house sit. They showed up on time for the visit; communicated throughout the weekend; sent us pictures; and asked questions for clarification before the visit and during if needed. Their personalities are great for our dogs who warmed up to them ASAP; they took fantastic care of them as well as of our house. We will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them to others.”

“Katelyn was phenomenal! She responded quickly and accepted our booking last minute after two other sitters canceled, was so accommodating to set up a meeting beforehand, gave prompt and detailed updates throughout our time away and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable. Couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely book her again and again! She took the best care of our pup!”

About: Professional Dog Trainer & Pet Care Specialist | Safe, Structured, Reliable ⸻ About Me With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a level of knowledge and structure that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. My background includes: • Veterinary medicine • Professional dog training • Boarding facilities • Rescue & shelter work I am a full-time dog trainer and pet care provider, recently relocated from Washington State to North Carolina to continue growing my career and offering high-quality, reliable care. Dogs in my care benefit from a structured, safe, and enriching environment. I pride myself on not just supervision, but true understanding of behavior, communication, and needs. Whether your dog is easygoing or has behavioral challenges, they will be handled with confidence, clarity, and care. ⸻ My Property & Setup Your dog will stay on a private 2.5-acre property designed for safety and structure. What sets my care apart: • Escape-proof, secure environment • Crash-tested crates for safety and comfort • Outdoor kennel runs for fresh air and downtime • Climate-controlled kennel building • 24/7 video + temperature monitoring • Strict daily sanitation protocols • Individual walks and/or structured group play • 🐶 Dog pool coming Summer 2027 This is not a chaotic daycare - it’s a controlled, professional environment tailored to each dog. ⸻ Experience with Behavior Unlike most sitters, I am experienced in handling dogs with: • Anxiety • Reactivity • Dog aggression • Human-directed behaviors • Resource guarding (food/toys) Safety is always the priority for your dog, other dogs, and myself. ⸻ Care & Supervision • Dogs are always supervised when out • When supervision isn’t possible, dogs are safely secured in a crate or kennel run • Structured routines help reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors 👉 All dogs must be crate trained to ensure comfort and safety during their stay. ⸻ Policies • Drop-off & pick-up by appointment only • 🚗 “Pet Taxi” (door-to-door transport) available weekdays only • Clear communication and punctuality are expected and appreciated ⸻ Meet & Greets To set dogs up for success, I have a structured meet-and-greet policy: ✔️ In some cases, owners may visit the property to view the setup ❌ We do not allow dog introductions while owners are present Why this matters: • Dogs are more likely to have altercations when over-aroused by their owner’s presence • Some dogs become protective or possessive • Owner anxiety can unintentionally impact the dog’s behavior This approach allows me to introduce dogs calmly, safely, and professionally. ⸻ Best fit for: • Owners who value structure and safety • Dogs who need clear boundaries and routine • Dogs who may not thrive in chaotic daycare environments ⸻ I treat every dog as an individual and prioritize safety, structure, and clarity in everything I do. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter—someone who truly understands dogs and provides a secure, professional environment—I’d love to work with you. 📩 Send a message to discuss your dog’s needs and see if we’re a good fit! Feeding times are available up to three times a day. Pups spend most of their time playing together out and about on the property, with short naps throughout the day in their kennels to allow for appointments and cleaning! All dogs are crated whenever unsupervised. As long as a human is available, the dogs are welcome to hang out about the property, in a kennel run, or chilling in the house. All kennels, crates, yards, bedding, etc are sanitized in between clients.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family pets and about 7 years of hands on experience training and caring for my own dogs. I currently have a small Maltese/Yorkie mix and i understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I’m naturally fun and high functioning energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active dogs, but I’d say patience is one of my biggest strengths. Working in healthcare has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and compassion are, and I bring that same approach when caring for animals. I work PRN(as needed) in healthcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My availability can vary week to week, but I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a dog park, a large open field directly in front of my complex, and several nearby walking trails. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. I’ll also follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special care preferences you provide so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.

“Elizabeth was AMAZING!! She spoiled our girl in the best way possible. She sent picture updates throughout the day and kept us appraised of our girls wellbeing. We will be utilizing Elizabeth in the future for care for our girl while we are away and unable to take her with us.”

“Sydney was fantastic with our Dunkin. She was willing to work with us on his “stranger danger” so we felt confident leaving him in her care. She is exceptionally responsive and kept us updated with cute pics of how relaxed he was with her. House was in great shape when we got home and his evening treat was already prepped. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely book again for future trips!”
