About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.

“I just want to say thank you so much for taking care of my sweet boy. This was my first time ever doing something like this, (my baby is 10yrs old) leaving him with a stranger was very hard with to do. But Klairi after meeting you, I will book again! Thank you for making him feel like he was on vacation for the week. ESPECIALLY during the holidays was a true blessing! All the photos and great communication was a huge part in easing my mind throughout the time he was there. A message to everyone looking for a sitter I really recommend Klairi for your future booking. Thank you again!”

“Super happy, as was my little guy. Completely recommend.”

“Ann was excellent with our Xena puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, she was communicative and thorough with instructions on routine. Xena got to make so many friends at her pet, Ricky's b-day party while we were away. It was obvious Xena was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”

Tarun G.

“Amanda watched my German Shorthair I’m March 3025. She sent me personal messages and my dog seemed to be happy and well cared for. I would recommend Amanda and plan on using her again”

“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”

Laura C.

“Karen was phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout our dog’s stay and was incredibly attentive and caring. She treated our dog like her own, taking her on walks, car rides, and fun adventures around the community. We loved receiving regular updates, messages, and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing she was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.

“Our Ziggy enjoyed her time at Brittany and Matt's place! She became fast friends with King and another Rover dog. Ziggy came back to us tired and happy, just as we had hoped. They are great communicators and have a wonderful fenced in back yard and easy to walk neighborhood for both play and walks. We plan on having them watch Ziggy again in the future.”

“Alexander was great with our whippet Hank! He watched him for 5 days at his house and sent us pictures and updates so we knew Hank was doing good. He also checked in with us every day, which we really appreciated. Drop off was super quick and easy, and Hank seemed really happy and comfortable with him. We had a great experience and would definitely use Alexander again! 10/10 experience”

Kara H.

“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”

About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I was little. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. I also have experience taking care of rodents. I’m a stay at home mom as of right now to a little boy, so I will have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I would have to work it around his nap schedule but that won’t be a problem at all. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, I can take any animal in my care for walks if it’s needed. I also have a loving cat named Ali to keep any animal that’s with us company.

“Samantha did a great job taking care of Mia for a whole week. She was even able to feed Mia her farmers dog food three times a day. She took Mia for walks and kept her separate from much larger dogs. Mia loved her visit. She also showed us pictures of Mia throughout the day. We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.”
