“Ashley was incredible! She spent quality time my dogs and gave me updates and pictures as well. I will definitely be going back to her for dog sitting in the future. 😊”


About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for multiple pets at once (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.) I also spent time helping out on farms. Therefore, I am no stranger to routine, responsibility or muddy paws! What truly sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian, which gives me 24/7 access to expert guidance if an emergency or health question/concern arises. In addition, during my Marine Corps service, I have done dog sitting at the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, where dependability was key. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in cybersecurity. Therefore, I am currently dedicating my time to my studies, which affords me the freedom to care for your pets anytime. Pet safety is my top priority. Whether I am watching your pets in your home or caring for them in mine, I keep all harmful foods and household items out of reach. Additionally, we only use veterinarian-approved treats and toys (with a vet in the family, I don't guess when it comes to safety). Your pets will get plenty of supervised playtime and outdoor activity, along with a calm structured environment to help them feel more at home. I am very respectful in others' homes and will always follow your care instructions to the letter, including feeding, routines, and any special needs or quirks.

“Jenny was awesome. I can tell the girls were happy to have her for the week. She provided daily updates with pictures. She cleaned and tidied up after as well, including bedding which is so helpful! Would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her as a sitter to stay in your home.”


“Matthew took excellent care of our dogs and home. He was reliable, communicative, thoughtful and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure we returned to happy dogs and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!”


About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I love them and understand the way they are so important to your life. I have worked 5 years with the Iredell Humane Society and 1 year with the Forsyth Humane Society. I take care of them as though they are my own! I am currently available anytime to come to your home or pick them up. I am trustworthy and know several parks in the area if needed. I am unable to keep in my home at this time, subject to change in the future. I look forward to that opportunity and will update.

“Debbie was amazing with our two dogs while we were out of town for a little over a week. She is trusting, knowledgeable, and caring. She treated our home and dogs like they were hers. We are beyond grateful to have found her help!”


“Haley awesome with our 2 very needy and spoiled English Bulldogs! We received pictures and updates daily, which put my mind at ease since we had never left them for 8 days. And when we returned I was pretty sure our home was cleaner than I left it😃. Highly recommend Haley. Will definitely use her again(if she will have my 2 crazies).”


“Megan was a fantastic house and dog sitter. Our pitbull can act tough sometimes and Megan was able to put her at ease and really got her comfortable! She sent us pictures of both pups daily! We already have her booked for our next vacation!”


About: I've been surrounded by dogs of every kind my entire life, I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy working with dogs because I am an outdoor person who likes to go for runs and walks. I have been relied on by my friends and neighbors to come and spend time, feed, and walk their pets. I am currently enrolled at Catawba College, getting my masters degree, while competing on the beach volleyball team. All my classes are online and practice ranges from 7-8am, 11am- 1pm, and 5-6pm, but vary through the week. I have a fenced-in backyard for my 2-year-old Lab and I make sure that we keep the bedroom doors closed so I can always keep my eye on them.

“Simone did a great job! I had to book last minute on a holiday weekend and she was more than accommodating with my crazy schedule! My dog Roxy was certainly played out when I came home and I felt very comfortable with her and her family being in my home.”


About: I have had dogs and cared for them since early childhood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have a fondness for senior pups and I am a pro at giving medications as my Dalmatian has taken something for the past 14 years. All pups are welcome on beds and furniture and we love to snuggle 🤗 Everyone has always told me that when they die that they really wanna come back to be my dog ♥️ I work Monday - Friday from 8-4:30 but I do get 1 hour for lunch to come home to check on pups and play. They also have access to a doggie door and an outside fence. However if you would prefer for them not to be outside unattended, I can close it off while I am at work. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly fur babies of my own. We have a doggie door top. I am able to crate your dog or have it free while I am gone to work - your preference. I am home in the evenings and night.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of my neighbors dogs for 3 years now and I like to ensure they are cared for and happy! Whatever the owner wants I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pets. I am great at listening to small details to make sure that your fur baby has an amazing experience! I am a full time rover sitter so I am free the whole rest of the day for walks, baths and giving your pet my absolute full attention! Whatever the owner is comfortable with, I have a huge backyard, the dog can be crated or can be in a certain room in the house.

About: I have grown up around all types of pets. In my childhood I rescued multiple dogs and our family rescued many, many, cats! I am very loving and caring and I treat every pet as it is my own. I like to first get to know them to see if I’d even be a good match for your pawesome friend! I have trained some dogs as puppies, taught them the basics as well as potty trained them. I am very flexible with my availability! I would love to get to know your furry friend and be apart of their world♥️ I’m currently looking for some side gigs to fill up my time.. I couldn’t think of a more awesome way to do it than to be around pets! Making your pets comfortable and happy is my top priority! I like to let animals be animals and do what they like to do. Caring for pets has always been one of my favorite things to do. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t own a pet.

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember! I have been taking care of fur babies on any possible occasion I can since I graduated college. I work part time as data entry for a up and coming tech company and am able to fit many animals into my daily life luckily!! I have a fenced in backyard, plenty of experience with on and off leash animals, and pay very close attention to how animals around me are acting.

About: Hey there! Thank you for popping by my page. I would like to start off by saying I have lived my whole life around animals, from horses, goats, pigs, small reptiles, fish, weird animals dogs and cats. I am a animal lover ever since I was a little girl. If I had the option to take on 1000 animals at once because they needed a caring home I would( if my husband would let me) I am a stay at home mother to my daughter who is 4 and do dog boarding and art as my business. You won't have to worry about your animals being left alone because I am here 24/7. I live on 2 acres of land on a business road with no neighbors. Me and my daughter are mainly outside most of the time. We are a loving family of 6 who are caring, compassionate, trust worthy and genuine. We would love to be your animals caretaker! Stay at home parent so they won't be alone at all. -Potty breaks every 1-2 hours as needed -2 walks each day (1 in morning, 1 in evening) -Treats and toys available at all times -Food times morning and evening (unless schedule is different) -Dogs are free to roam and do as they wish in my home! Crate training isn't a must but if you would like them to be in there crate it is no issue at all. Dogs are allowed on furniture in my home (unless owners say different) I do not let animals free roam outside.

About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later. I have two Mainecoon cats myself that I consider part of the family. I've taught the older one how to play fetch with bottle caps and socks and both cats also come when I call their name! I've walked dogs and house sit cats and dogs for neighbors, friends and family for years. I welcome all dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. For my personal animals, I work 8 hours but take care of my animals at all times besides that! Morning/nightly feeds, constant potty breaks. For clients, I'm available Friday-Sunday all day. The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!

About: I’ve taken care of my own fur baby for the past 10 years and have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their own fur babies. I know the attention and care our fur babies deserve by everyone. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment which allows me the flexibility to take care of your fur baby as needed. I am available weekdays and some weekends as well. I myself have a dog who is very anxious and scared of other dogs and people so I know how to handle certain dogs with special attention.
