1. Mae T.

“Mae was absolutely incredible!! She went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our dogs were happy, cared for, and comfortable! She spent a great amount of time playing with our dogs and she also had excellent communication with sending us updates and pictures while we were away! Mae stayed in our home overnight for a couple nights to watch our dogs and she was extremely respectful of our home as well!! We have now found our go-to person with Mae and we (and our pups) 🐶 couldn’t be happier!”

“Emma is considerate, dependable, honest and trustworthy. Whether it be a pet or home, Emma is professional and genuine. The services she provides go above and beyond standard care. Emma takes time to enjoy our pets and values their well being. She always takes extra steps when house sitting to ensure we come home to a tidy house. This means a lot when traveling! I cannot recommend Emma enough!”


5. Annelise W.

“AWESOME!! Annelise was a doll, I will be calling on her again if I need someone to sit with my dogs. She is absolutely awesome. She’s very sweet person and she was good with my dogs. I did feel bad because she got caught in the storm on Saturday night and it was without power for a while. so the next time I need to go away and the sitter I will be calling on her. I hope she enjoyed my dogs as much as they enjoyed her even though Carter is a little shy.”


6. Josh W.
“Josh watched my two dogs for me for a weekend. He is a very caring compassionate dog sitter. I highly recommend him for all your animal needs.”

About: Ive been dogsitting since i was able to drive. I’m huge on doing what you love and being with dogs and taking care of them is exactly that!! I’ve dealt with sick dogs and giving them prescription to as easy as letting them go to the bathroom and feeding them once a day. I can do whatever your needs require:) I am free always unless traveling! I work from home and have lots of time to care for your pets, i can be over as much and as little as you’d like:) They get mostly full time to roam unless not potty trained. I play with them almost in all my free time so they will get lots of love as well!

16. Hans D.
About: I am a father of four and a animal lover. I am available for drop ins and walks and I look forward to exploring nature with any furry friend as animals are like kids and need the love and attention they deserve. I am also available for house sitting. I am open to house sitting, taking walks and exploring local trails or just providing attention to improve the overall quality of life for your pet. I will follow your instructions to care for you pet while your are away. I will also take care of your home and respect it as if it were my own. I will not be able to stay full time. During the week I work but I can provide morning care and I will return in the evening and for dinner and bedtime care and spend the night.


17. Abbi H.
About: Hello! I am looking forward to meeting lots of new furry friends and building a relationship! As a kid growing up we had two Australian Shepards and a couple times had puppies! Once I moved out I was still able to watch them when my parents were out of town and enjoyed all the snuggles and play time with them. Though I haven't had my own pet since then Ive really missed the companionship and spending time with dogs. I work from home and while my boys (age 13 and 7) are away at school during the week day I am home working. My schedule can easily be flexible and fit around your pets needs. If they enjoy car rides I will usually take them with me while doing errands or school pick up. My boys both adore dogs and have loved every one we have watched. My complex offers a large dog park for your pet to run around and meet other dog friends. I live in an apartment but is dog friendly. My home is available for pets if boarding is needed. If your dog is completely house trained I don’t require you to bring his/her crate. But of course if your pet would be more comfortable with it please bring it along!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old, I have had 6 dogs throughout my lifetime and each of them have had a very enjoyable and loving life. I have also pet sat for family members and family friends throughout the years. I am currently a student and a nanny, so Rover fits perfectly for the days I don’t have class or have to go into work I am a big backyard and a very friendly morkie who loves playing with others dogs. We will go on walks and play with lots of toys. I am also big on giving treats (as long as the owner is okay with that) and on giving lots of snuggles and belly rubs!


20. Pamela R.
About: I am patient and caring. Animals have souls, they have feelings and they are a part of our families. I genuinely understand how important our fur babies are to us. I work full-time 8am-5pm Monday - Friday in Pinehurst. I am happy to take care of your pet before and after my shifts. I get an hour for lunch so if your pet is in Pinehurst I am able to offer a walk or drop-in at lunch time as well. I cannot currently host pets at my home due to caring for my own senior kitty who is very uncomfortable around dogs. I am happy to take care of your pet in their environment and familiar surroundings.
