“We are beyond grateful to have found Grace to care for our girls! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Our dogs instantly took to her, and we could tell they felt completely safe and comfortable in Grace’s care. Thank you so much for taking us in on such short notice. Grace is incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive to every little detail. We loved getting updates and photos—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pups. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful, trustworthy, and caring. We can’t recommend Grace enough and feel so lucky to have found her!”
“It was our first time using a pet sitting service, so we started out with a 30 minute visit. Ashlee communicated with us as needed, and she was very patient with our shy pup Luna. We've already booked two more visits with Ashlee.”
“Ashley was amazing! Came for the meet and greet and took notes to know what we wanted with our pup. She did everything and more the make sure Rev was taken care of! Def will use again!!”
“Madison left us detailed report cards on our cat after every visit. Our cat takes a little while to warm up to people but she was being held and playing with Madison after just a couple of days.”
“Xeque was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute request. Her communication was excellent, and she took exceptional care of our pups. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly something I love. From dogs and puppies to senior pets with special needs, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight stays and medication management. I currently have a young Doberman, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s routine, energy levels, and emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I bring a responsible, loving approach to every animal I care for. I have a flexible schedule and a comfortable home in Raleigh where pets can feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I work from home, so I’m available almost around the clock to care for your pet’s needs. Your dog will also enjoy supervised playtime in my fenced backyard, giving them a safe and fun space to get their energy out! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly home in Raleigh with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel secure. My home is fully dog-proofed, and I supervise all pets closely especially during feedings, playtime, and outdoor breaks. With over 10 years of pet care experience, I know how to read body language, manage energy levels, and create a calm environment where every pet feels at ease. I treat each animal like family and follow your care instructions closely to maintain consistency and build trust with your pet. Whether it’s giving extra attention to shy dogs or ensuring high-energy pups get the exercise they need, I’m committed to making sure your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands at all times.
About: I've had dogs and cats as pets my entire life, from a small Yorkie mix up to a German Shepherd, and have petsat for neighbors since I was a kid. I've taken many training courses for my dog's own care. If your pet has any special needs I'm experienced with that too. For walks, I'm more than happy to go at your dog's pace, whether they'd prefer to go on runs or slow walks. If there's a park nearby they particularly enjoy, or a hiking trail they love, we can do that too! I'm active and will do my best to bring back a happy and relaxed dog. If you're gone for a few days, I can also bring in mail, water your lawn, or any other every day maintenance you need. I hope to hear from you! I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule for spending time with your pet! The best work breaks are the ones I get to spend walking, playing, and cuddling with my new furry friends ❤️ I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow your routines closely, keep spaces tidy, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I take time to build trust—whether it’s with a shy cat or an energetic pup—by moving at their pace and keeping things calm and consistent. Communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated and informed while you're away.
About: I've always loved dogs. I've taken care of all different breeds, sizes, a special needs dog, and senior dogs for about 10 years. I had two loving rescues. I rescued my girl when she was 10 weeks old...and potty trained and crate trained her. I've also administered oral medication in pill and liquid form with success! I'm a very patient, loving, honest and hardworking care provider...who will always put your dogs needs first and love them like they are my own! I work part-time as a nanny so I'm available for dog sitting in your home, drop ins, walks, and trips to the vet or groomer While staying in your home I'm able to take your dog out on a leash for frequent potty breaks and walks. I'm able to feed, water, administer medicine, play, give lots and lots of snuggles, and belly rubs. I'm also able to take a trip to a dog park if you would like
About: I’ve practically had pets my whole life and have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—I genuinely love being around them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience not just with my own pets, but also through my time working at the PetSmart PetsHotel, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just making them feel at home, I truly enjoy every part of taking care of animals. I’m a teacher, so my summers are open. I’m usually free after 3 during the rest of the year. Weekends are usually open. My availability will be posted. My top priority is always building trust with your fur baby. Only then am I able to care for them to the fullest. I have an extra bedroom for pets that prefer their own space. I have a large back yard and also am located about 3 miles from a dog park that I frequent.
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents. I have experience with giving dogs insulin and other medication. I've volunteered at a cat shelter for about a year. I'm currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of pets :) After summer I will be at school two days of the week but otherwise available anytime after 10 am and before 8 pm I know how to feed and groom animals as well as give them medication. I can crate dogs if needed and let them outside or take them on walks.
About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.
About: I started a summer dog walking business with my best friend when we were in middle school and have helped pet sit for friends and family ever since. Although my business only lasted one summer, I loved getting out and meeting each furry friend. I am always on call for a friend or family member in need and want to spread the love to the rest of my community! I am currently a contract worker so a lot of my days are free! Mornings, lunch check ins, or overnight stays are all fine with me. I am happy to come to your home and follow your daily routines whatever that may entail. I can pop by for a quick feed/walk or stay and play for a few hours or even overnight. I can also take them to a dog park nearby or on longer walks in the evenings for extra exercise when needed.
About: I have always had a pup or two in my house since I was born. I have experience with all ages, and have raised puppies (since their mother was pregnant). I recently moved here and am looking for some pups to shower with love and play! Whether they just need a bit of attention during the workday or a temp. home while you travel, I would love to be there for you and your dog! I am always home during the day and would love to take your pup to the lake or wherever they'd like! I can always give them a bath as well if you'd like! I've raised dogs all varying breeds and energy levels. Whatever you and your pup needs, I'm there!

Leslie B.
“I would recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. She loved dogs and is very trustworthy. She communicates well and is very pleasant to work with.”
Kayla A.
“Kayla is so great with my dog, Mamba. He’s a bit crazy and very playful but Kayla is so gentle with him. I met Kayla when she watched Mamba while working at the Pets Hotel at Petsmart. I could immediately tell that she thoroughly enjoyed working with dogs. She even took all the doggy portraits for Halloween and Christmas which turned out great by the way. All of the dogs loved Kayla and I’m sure she loved them!”
Erika P.
“Erika has cared for my kitten and two adult cats multiple times. She pays attention to their vibes and knows when they want to chill or play. I appreciate how conscienious she is playing attention to details and directions. As a cat owner, the worst smell you can come home to is that of the litter box. I'm very meticulous about cleaning it as soon as possible - I don't wait until the end of the day. Erika made sure to do this because my cats don't use a dirty box; they find another place, like my laundry baskets, to do their business. Erika wonderful and is always welcome to care for my fur-babies.”
JADE D.
“Jade has been a wonderful caregiver for my fur babies (Thor and Loki). She watches them while my husband and I are out of town. She's attentive to their needs and makes sure Thor gets his meds on time. She walks them and makes sure they get plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend her for your dog walking needs.”
Brooke V.
“I can’t say enough about how great Brooke has been in service of our family. Our dogs and cats always look forward to her visits...and it's clear when I see them together that they have a great relationship. I offer the heartiest recommendation of Brooke’s services.”
Ting C.
“Ting is a great cat sitter! She sent me updates with photos every day and kept a very good communication with me while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her.”
Kelsea P.
“Kelsea is amazing! Maggi and Willow love the days that she comes for her visit. She engages them in fun and new activities. She sends awesome pictures and videos!”
Stephanie S.
“I booked late notice and Stephanie was very flexible. She engaged my cats in lots of playtime while I was gone”
Maggie W.
“Maggie has loved animals since she was a little girl. That love has only grown as she has. She loves my dog as if it were her very own. I could go on vacation without a care in the world knowing that Maggie is there loving my dog. I don't even think my own dog would miss me because she'd be having so much fun with Maggie. Quick! Hire Maggie before word gets out and she becomes completely booked!”
