“Big thanks to grey for taking care of my puppy when I needed help last minute. He’s only 9 weeks old so he needs constant attention, it’s no easy task! I am super appreciative & I know my little pup is too!”


“Lillie was so great with all my babies!! She went above & beyond. She kept me updated & sent pics. I’ve already booked her again & will continue to book her in the future! :)”


“Thank you, Dixie and Norwood, for taking such great care of our boys (Sorrow and Bandit) and home!! You are the best!!! From frequent updates to fastidious cleaning, we could not ask for more kind or attentive care. Thanks, again!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old and I have grown up with all kinds. I recently created a family with kitties as well and I couldn't be more excited to meet more furry friends! I love caring for my pet—daily walks, playtime, and cuddles make my routine fun and rewarding! 🐾 It’s the best part of my day and always puts me in a great mood. Knowing they’re happy and healthy makes everything worth it! Right now I have a kitty and a goldfish so my home is curated perfectly for little animals to play and cuddle and enjoy all the sights from my windows.

“Brinkley was such a great sitter to our dogs and cat! She was very kind, communicative, and sent us pictures while we were away. We knew our pets were in good hands, and we would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”


About: I have had and lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I am more knowledgeable and most comfortable with cats, but I have experience taking care of dogs as well. I have experience with administering medicated eye drops, ear drops, and I know how to clean up after pets. I have experience with cats of all ages. I am a current graduate student at Western Carolina University getting myself through the summer with any odd jobs I can acquire. I am also working on my research, so I may be called to work in the lab on WCU's campus on random days. I am not able to take in pets to stay with me, as I live in an apartment complex that has a strict pet policy, and I also have my own pet cat in my space. When visiting pets in their home, I will respect their space and read their body language so as to not make them uncomfortable.

About: When I was born my mom and dad had 2 dogs, Petey and Jersey. A jack Russel and a Border Collie, I grew up with them and they grew up with me. There was never a time after them that we didn’t have at least 1 dog in the house at all times, most of the time it was 2 dogs and 2 cats. Sometimes it was more sometimes it was less. I’ve helped raise countless puppies and watched many dogs grow old. I’ve taught many puppies how to sit, potty correctly, I’ve bathed and dried. I’ve played with them for hours on end and most importantly gave them all the required attention. I love dogs so much, it is my genuine favorite thing to spend time with dogs. I currently work 4 am - 1 pm, so any time after 1 pm and on my lunches I am available for dog walking and drop ins. On Wednesday and Thursday I am off of work and am available for house sitting. I do not care for dogs in my home but with certain circumstances I may be able to care for your cat, if need be they would be in one of our 2 bedrooms.

About: Pet sitting and walking was Johanna's full time job in DC and Miami. Sam has been a pet owner and lover from a young age. We both have experience with all size dog breeds, as well as cats, birds, fish, and rodents. Johanna works remotely and is able to be flexible when caring for all your furrbabies. Sam is in college and has a flexible schedule as well. We both grew up with both small dogs and large dogs. We've had Rottweilers, Min Pins, Chihuahuas, Pitbulls and American Bulldogs. We've had cats for over a decade and have fish as well. Unfortunately we're unable to board any pets for now. When caring for your pets we're very mindful of all their needs and prioritize their care.


“Pamela is an outstanding dog sitter, and a lovely lady. She made sure that our dog, Pearl was as happy as can be all weekend. She took her on many walks and had lots of play time. I loved receiving all the pictures and updates. We look forward to using her many times in the future🐾”


“Sarah confirmed everything in advance and asked great questions so we were on the same page. She was on time and took great care of my two dogs while we were away for the whole day. She is kind and friendly. We will use her again!”


About: I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters when I have the free time, I grew up with dogs, and enjoy watching my friend's pets so I figured I would try this out for the summer! I am looking for a post grad job right now so I have a lot of free time. Your dog would be my number one priority. I keep a checklist on my phone of what and when to feed the dogs and try to get a least a mile in on walks.

About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)

About: I currently work for a dog boarding and daycare facility. My whole life has revolved around my passion and love for animals. In the future I hope to become a certified dog trainer and I am already on my way to it. I am dog and cat CPR certificated. I have years of experience caring for all sizes and age groups of pets. I work full-time at a dog boarding and daycare facility. I love having a job where I can work with animals and I’m happy about going to work. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate to you and your pets needs. My main priority for pet care is making sure the pet is safe, happy and healthy. I also want to make sure that pet parents are comfortable with the approaches I use and the incentives given to the animals. I want the pet care I provide to be a happy and mutually beneficial experience for both the animals and the parents.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little and my parents got me my first dog. I have always loved animals and taking care of them!! I am enrolled in college but I am willing to work around that to stay with animals and make sure they get bathroom breaks when needed. I would be able to stay over night with animals as well as making sure they get adequate time outside. I would be feeding them and making sure they always have access to everything they need and that they have a watchful eye keeping them safe.

Gabrielle I.
“Gabrielle is such a great dog sitter! she helped to take care of my puppy by letting her out during the day while I was at work. She went above and beyond of just walking my dog by asking if she could make a kong or treat for Gurdie when she had to go back into the crate. Playing with her outside, and even staying longer when her schedule allowed! I definitely suggest booking with her if you want the best care for your pet!”
