“This was my second time using Kristyn's services, and once again, she did a great job taking care of Ginger. She was happy to accept my last-minute request the day before I needed her, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“Charlotte is the best pet sitter we have ever had! She has truly become a part of our family. She is so loving and great with our pets. I would highly recommend her! So thankful for her every day walks with our pup!”
About: I grew up with three large dogs in my house, as well as cats and reptiles. I am very organized and on-time, so your pets will never be left alone for too long! I am very active and love running, so I am a great choice for playful and energetic pets. I have volunteered with the SPCA since I was 16, so I have lots of experience with all kinds of pet personalities and care regimes. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, where I can take days from home several times a week. I am also free all day every weekend to take care of your pets! I love outdoor time and staying active, so your furbabies will never be bored or lonely. I grew up taking care of a very reactive dog so I ensure the environment is safe for your pet at all times. I also put your pet's safety and comfort first and will always treat them with kindness and respect.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 10+ years. From energetic puppies to senior lapdogs, I’ve helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to love their pets like my own. I currently have a calm and cuddly Shih Tzu and Shichon who get along well with other dogs, making my home a welcoming, peaceful environment. Whether your pet needs lots of play or quiet companionship, I'm here to give them a safe, happy stay. I work remotely and am home 24/7, which means your dog will receive constant care, attention, and supervision. I’m available for boarding and daytime stays throughout the week and weekends. I truly believe in protecting the well-being of every dog—I would never put a pup in a stressful or unsafe situation because it’s not morally right. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home is a calm, pet-friendly space. I closely supervise all interactions to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. I’m also comfortable crating upon request, following feeding/medication routines, and keeping your pet on their usual schedule for maximum comfort and care.
About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).

“Heather was great! She helped us out on short notice, was punctual with the timing we asked for her to let our dog out, and was great with the communication and pictures. Our dog was a bit anxious and she did a great job trying to help him feel more comfortable with her.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit.

About: i’ve been pet sitting for the past five years. I also work with a nonprofit dog rescue and foster puppies. I have watched dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a full time job but I can fit pets into my weekends. I can do three drop ins a day for dogs and cats if needed! If you just need one drop in I can after work (5:30 m-f) I do not offer in-home boarding, as I foster and have three dogs of my own. However, I provide attentive and reliable care in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection while keeping their environment safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their well-being and happiness.
About: I don't remember at time that I didn't have a dog as a companion. They've always been a part of my family. Currently I have a long haired Chihuahua at home. Joey is 11 years old and going strong. Until this past April, I also had a miniature poodle that was named Shadow. Shadow and I were best friends for 17 years until he passed from old age. During his lifetime, Shadow was able to travel to The Bahamas and to Canada with me. I loved being with him. I know how hard it is to leave a pet behind, wondering if they're ok. It's important that you know they're well taken care of when you're away. I'll take care of them like they're my own.

We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! They were patient, calm, and confident with our dog from the moment they met him. Rodger can be a handful at times, but they handled him so well and made him feel comfortable throughout the walk. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We truly appreciate the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
Kate is incredible - We have 3 large furbabies (94 lb Akita PUPPY boy, 75 lb Akita lady, and 65 lb male Pittie). Kate has been patient and warm with them - especially our 10 year old Akita girl who is becoming more and more annoyed with everything as she ages. Most recently Kate was already booked for boarding but she helped us out HUGELY by walking all of our dogs while we needed to be away. She is officially part of our family and we're so thankful to her.
Jennifer is a new walker for my girl, Chloe, and I’ll admit I’m always a little hesitant when someone new starts. Chloe is fun‑loving, energetic, and highly reactive, so finding the right fit matters. From the moment we met, I was impressed with Jennifer. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely interested in getting to know Chloe and what she needs. During their first walk, Chloe had such a great time that she came home and took a long, happy nap. Jennifer is definitely Chloe’s new dog walker, and I hope she’ll be with us for a very long time.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fuquay-Varina. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
