1. Dinira S.

“Dinira was absolutely wonderful with our big puppy, Atlas!! During our meet and greet she was kind and Atlas loved her right away. It’s always anxiety provoking to leave your 80 pound puppy with a new face - but Dinira put us right at ease. She took Atlas for a walk, played with him, and sent lots of pictures!! She was truly the best.”

About: I've taken care of dogs/pets my whole life, my passion only grew larger for them as I grew older. They are truly the heart of the world and they give us the motivation to keep pushing forward. Not only do I have personal experience caring and medicating animals, but I also have experience dealing with aggressive dogs as well as previous experience working in a kennel/doggy-daycare where I cared for, walked, and medicating cats and dogs in my daily routine. I am also going to NC State currently, going to be a junior in the fall, majoring in animal science which has provided me with so much knowledge on animals and how to best care for them, ranging many species but specializing in companion animals. I'm currently out of college for summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family members and make sure they get the best experience possible while you're away. Personally, I have 2 cats and share 2 more and a dog with a disability with my mom so for me, pet care is a normal daily routine and therefore other forms of pet care are no hassle to add on and I'd love to help out and make sure you and your pet are getting what's best for the both of you! Having companion animals of my own, I know how worrisome it can become when you leave your door open to a stranger, especially with your furry friend's life at hand. Just know I would never treat an animal, person, or home with any type of disrespect nor would I ever imagine doing so. I treat others' things as my own and I'd say I keep things pretty organized and clean. Also, it is important to know that I am not only an animal enthusiast but I am also an animal welfare enthusiast and would do anything in my power to keep your furry friend safe under my watch.


9. Elaina K.
“Elaina is an avid animal lover and pet owner. She has years of experience working with both dogs and cats. Having worked at an animal shelter, she has experience training, playing, and caring for both large and small dogs. She loves all types of dog no matter the breed. Her depth of knowledge about dogs has always wowed and enlightened me on their unique training and health needs. I highly recommend Elaina to anyone for their pet caring needs. She will make certain your animal is safe, cared for, and mostly importantly happy.”


10. Zahara C.


“Had to find a sitter at the last minute because my other one cancelled on me thee night before I was going to be leaving out of town. I was honestly freaking out because I did not think I would be able to find one with so little time left. But Zahara immediately responded and agreed to care of Ollie during those days. She was very sweet and even brought my mail inside for me and left it on the counter. I will be recommending her to all of my family and friends. I will be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you”

About: I was raised in a house full of pets and have helped friends and family with their pets while on vacation etc since I was 16. I have never in my life not owned a pet of my own. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I have more than enough time available to help care for your furry best friend. My schedule is very flexible. I follow all instructions for your pet set forth by you so your beloved pet is as stress free as possible and as comfortable as possible

“Kayla has been absolutely fantastic to my fur baby Waffles! She is really easy to communicate with and makes sure Waffles gets a good walk and playtime when I'm at work. :)”


15. Jordan M.
“My dog Lola loves Jordan. Anytime she sees her walk in the apartment to watch her she’s absolutely thrilled to see her. Jordan has done both overnights and drop in visits for me. My dog is very stubborn but Jordan can handle her no problem. You won’t be disappointed with Jordan - she’ll provide excellent care for your dog and love them. She’s also great with cats & will treat them like her own. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for someone to watch their furry friend.”
