“Erika was great. Lainey took right to her! Erika went over any beyond what was expected. I appreciated her taking Lainey to the park to explore new things. The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”

“Georgia was amazing! She took care of our dog for over a week and provided loving care. We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures which helped us feel at ease. Even our neighbors commented on how nice Georgia was to chat with, and how she took such good care of our Cooper. Georgia went above and beyond and cared for our plants as well. We highly recommend Georgia.”

“Aubrey was excellent with our cat Roo. She cared for her as if she were her own. Very gentle and loving. Played with her A LOT and alerted us to a few possible issues. She is very knowledgeable about cat behaviors and habits. She took excellent care of our home as well. Very responsible and personable.”

“Katy was fantastic! She was so communicative and was the best caretaker of our dog Josie. She took our directions very considerately and keep us informed daily over the week she watched our dog. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Reba is great! Kept us in the loop with beautiful photos of our furry family, reached out when she had questions about everyone's routines, and took super care of everyone! We came back to relaxed and happy pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals, from goats to chickens to house cats. I own a dog, who’s a year and a half old now, but I trained him from the time he was 8 weeks old. I also had a senior dog in my teens that I took care of. I have never met a critter I don’t love!! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my young daughter so I have plenty of time to pour all the love into your pup or kitty (or other!). My schedule is flexible to suit your needs and your fur baby’s preferences. I have a happy, friendly mid sized heeler pup who just loves other dogs and cats. I am happy to crate him if you are more comfortable with our critters not interacting while in my home, and of course, he will remain at my house while I care for your animals in your own home.
About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Through my work volunteering in shelters and pet-sitting, I have gained knowledge of animal behavior, communication, and situational awareness when it comes to potential hazards and aggressive behavior. I am working part-time after graduating from UNCG, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends at any time! I am able take your pets on walks of any length, stop by for feeding and play time, and crate large and small pets if needed.
About: I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for pets isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. My goal is to make every pet’s day great, from walks and playtime to handling the not-so-fun parts of pet care. I’m happy to help with anything your pet needs. I’m flexible right now and am open to what your schedule and needs are. What I care most about is getting time and experience with animals, so I will happily do mornings, afternoons, evenings or even overnights. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to do whatever is needed to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy—whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, cleaning up messes, or helping with bathing and grooming. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in giving them the attention and care they deserve.
About: I've taken care of multiple dog breeds (big and small) since I was a teenager! I love spending quality time with pets and learning more about them. My job is a "pick-your-own schedule," so I am free literally anytime I'm asked! I am able to stay in the house or just check in on them. Once provided a list of needs, I slowly work my way up in my relationship with your pet, and I try my best to adhere as closely to their normal routines as possible. I make sure to keep close watch on them at all times and double-check that where I am is secure, especially on walks.
About: I have a degree in animal science so I know lots about all sorts of animals, i love all animals with a passion. I’m a dog mom of 3! Currently working Wednesday from 2-5 and Friday 6-12. So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.
“We love Laurin! She’s the best thing to happen to our dogs. They absolutely love her! Maybe too much! Just kidding! The best part is when we come home I don’t have to do much- linens cleaned, trash has been taken care of, dogs are happy healthy and loved! My only problem is she doesn’t use any food we get for her 🤣😊🤩 she’s just a gem 💎❤️”

“Leaving my pets is always stressful, but Caitlin made the whole process so much easier. Great communication, reliable, and very kind. She sent pictures, gave medications as instructed, and took the time to play with my pets—not just quick in and out. I came home to happy pets, which says everything. Would definitely recommend.”
