“She was great with sending updates of my dog. She also picked up all my dogs toys and put them away for me so the house looked cleaner then I left it after a very long day.”
“Richie was amazing! He was so so good to my dogs and kept me updated. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible person who clearly really loves animals.”
“Keith is great at listening to understand and not just to check off all my boxes (which he does that too). He asked the right questions when I introduced him to my dogs and remained calm around my reactive (non aggressive) dog. Booked him for a walk and my dogs were happy, adequately tired, and relaxed when he brought them back home. He’s definitely on a different level than most dog walkers I’ve met. He’s compassionate and a true professional when it comes to dogs.”
About: Caring for cats and dogs is second nature to me. Every animal is unique, and learning each pet's habits and personalities is both interesting and rewarding. I have lived in Raleigh most of my life and I am familiar with the local animal hospitals and shelters. I am close friends with several veterinarians, and I am also a certified in CPR as a RECOVER Pet Rescuer. I am available most days with very short notice, and any day with a week's notice. I stain and repair decks during the warmer months, but the schedule is very flexible. I am available morning, noon or night. Animal care is dependent on the pet. I would follow the owner's instructions and rely on my extensive knowledge of cats and dogs to provide the best care possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their furry friends. I will always stop to say hi to dogs out on their walk. I have two small dogs and two cats and they all get along great! I am experienced with puppies, administering medications and Sr dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and can be there to take care of your pets at your convenience. I can be available anytime to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable. I have a nice fenced in yard and two small dogs that love to play! We are always outside playing fetch or enjoying the sunshine.

“Sharon is absolutely WONDERFUL! She was able to accommodate a last minute request to care for Nala. Nala is a high anxiety dog and I always worry when I have to leave her. She immediately came up to Sharon during the initial meeting and showed no anxiety. Sharon let me know how my dog was doing and her behavior. Sharon was on time and provided excellent communication. 100% recommend Sharon.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for many years, and own a golden retriever myself! I am experienced with dogs of all ages, and trained my own dog when he was a puppy. I am currently working full-time, but am available for overnight stays and daytime care on my days off or "weekends". I also make my own work schedule, so I can build it around pet care! I can walk your dog or play with them in a fenced in yard if you have one! I am more than happy to do some light chores or house cleaning if you are out of town for a few days.

While I'll handle mornings and afternoons during the week, my son will join me in the evenings and weekends. Rest assured, your beloved pets will receive the same love and attention as if they were our own. I currently have a small business from home and my son is 14 and is in highschool. I'm available to stop by starting at 7:30 am and in the afternoons and in the evenings and weekends my son will join me. My schedule with my home business is pretty flexible affording me many breaks throughout the day. When caring for your pets, we will prioritize respecting your home and personal space. We understand the importance of maintaining cleanliness and orderliness while ensuring that your pet's needs are met.

About: With over a decade of hands on experience in pet sitting and training, I bring a level of care and professionalism that goes beyond the average sitter. I’m a nationally certified trainer for working dogs specializing in odor detection, and I’ve dedicated years to understanding canine behavior, obedience, and effective training techniques. I’ve personally owned dogs for over 15 years and have had the privilege of helping countless pet families care for their dogs, cats, fish, and more. Whether it’s puppy training, obedience work, or senior pet care, I’m confident handling pets of all temperaments and needs. My background in training allows me to reinforce positive behaviors while ensuring each pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for in your absence. What sets me apart is my ability to blend professional level training with a personal touch. I treat every animal like my own with respect, structure, and plenty of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Between owning dogs, training working dogs, and helping others with their pets, it’s something I naturally prioritize. My flexible schedule allows me to give animals the time, structure, and attention they need whether it’s daily walks, training, or overnight care. In both my home and clients' homes, I focus on creating a safe, structured, and calm environment. I stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any training or medication needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every pet like family.

“Brandon is great with my pets. Some of my furry family have anxiety. He makes sure my dog gets his Trazodone as needed to help reduce his anxiety and makes sure all of them are stress-free and happy. My anxious cat does not like strangers, but he sent me videos of her cuddling and purring with him! Amazing!”

Brendan H.
“Brendan is a phenomenal person that you can trust with making your pets safety and wellbeing a top concern. On numerous occasions, Brendan has watched my own animals, a cat and a young lab. Each time I had zero worries and was kept updated. When it comes to someone who is responsible, caring, and knowledgeable about taking care of animals (especially dogs), he is someone you can feel confident in watching your own. I also can say that he does very well training dogs, which I have seen him do many times with great results.”
