“My critter family all loved Lisa and look forward to her sitting again! Lisa is a thorough, dependable, kind and enthusiastic pet sitter and her love for animals shines through. I appreciated her photos, videos and commentary during her stay.”
“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
“Lady was amazing really ensured our dogs were not only taken care of but had a great time. She sent several photos and videos throughout the stay. Highly recommend having her watch your fur babies⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: With over 10 years of professional housesitting and a lifetime of pet care, I specialize in attentive in home care, especially of seniors, cats, and puppies needing extra love and care. I rarely leave pets I’m sitting to reduce anxiety, administer medications reliably and treat your fur babies like my own. Responsible, experienced and always on time. 🐶🐱 I’m currently retired and do pet sitting full time. I’ve just moved back to the coast and am missing my numerous pets clients from North Carolina. I’m available 7 days a week so your pets are my priority. I do a meet and greet prior to your house sit so I can meet your fur babies, obtain their care routine(s) and cater to their specific needs.

“Alyssa made sure our dogs, and our home were well cared for. We received updates and photos a couple times a day. She was diligent about keeping our dogs' normal routines. We know they were excited for her to be here by the way they greeted her on arrival. I will be booking Alyssa again soon, so that we can relax and enjoy our time away, knowing our pets are in good hands.”

About: I have experience with small animals, exotics, farm and domesticated pets. My passion for caring for animals came after my soul dog passed away from aggressive cancer. This led me to honor his memory through work at my local humane society. I have cared for kittens and puppies through senior and hospice. I am able to dedicate myself to your pets needs physically, emotionally and medically. From playtime to cuddles and resting to education for your pet I’m here to do it all. I love caring for all pets, along with helping keep them stimulated physically, mentally and happy! I am a fear free certified animal care giver and enrichment specialist. I left shelter work recently to have more flexibility for my own pets and family. I love addressing behavior concerns including barrier reactivity, animal and people reactivity, fear aggression and any other concerning behaviors. My partners work gives me the flexibility to be a stay at home pet parent and travel when we are able. I have most days free for daily and/or weekly care. I am also available to travel if your pet is needing care while traveling with you. I have experience in caring and calming animals from everyday stressors to longer induced traumas. I use techniques to lower fear, anxiety and stress. I also give some very good kitty and doggy massages. Safety, mental and physical wellbeing is my priority. I want your pet to feel loved and secure as if they were my own. Working in an animal shelter for 3 years gave me the experience to see and understand so many different animals and behaviors. I’m committed to your pets success. Lgtbq+ friendly care for everyone and every pet.
About: I've been in a household with dogs my entire life, and have dealt with those who have specific dietary needs as well as needing assistance when moving. I know how to handle dogs that need urine guards/diapers, primarily for house training. I can give baths, play, feeding of course, and walks as well as help work on training simple things. If there's anything extra needed then just leave me instructions and I'll follow them to a T! My time is very flexible save for Tuesdays, but unless a change in time is needed then I'm available all days of the week. I'm typically better from 12 noon and later, but if you happen to be within my culdesac then I can go much earlier, just let me know. While I won't be watching pets at my place, my two cats have access to both floors due to Tue second floor being where bedrooms are and their food, toys, and litter pans being downstairs. My cats typically perch in my bedroom and curl up for naps, one more aloof while the other is made of velcro to my hip, hahaha.
