“Jennifer was an excellent caretaker for my cat and provided me with notes and photos daily of all visits. She ensured I came back home to a clean space just like I left it. Definitely recommend her service for your pets needs. She has proven to be a trustworthy sitter for drop in visits and ensuring your needs are met.”

“Exceptional caregiver and wonderful person - even delt with a stressful situation perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for better help and last minute, too! Flexible, great with communication, and friendly.”

“Penny was fantastic! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away, giving us total peace of mind. Not only was our cat happy and well looked after, but Penny also went above and beyond by watering our flowers and feeding our fish. Everything was just as we left it or better! We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Beverly was great! Very thorough and obviously loves pets. She took great care of my kitties and followed my instructions to a T. She was communicative and my kitties were very happy.”

“Jiahui has watched our pups several times now and she is just perfect. We like to leave them at our house at home and she takes excellent care of them. Sometimes we are out of town times or we are out of the country she’s amazing!!”

“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”

“Stephanie was wonderful! She arrived exactly as planned and tired our puppy out with lots of love and energetic play. We look forward to having her again!”


“Taylor was very kind and made sure all of our cats were well taken care of. We appreciate her promptness and coming to our house before booking for a meet greet.”

“Pascale did an amazing job. Lala was taken care of while I was away and she met a new friend that she could play with. Thank you again for your help and amazing availability! ✨❤️”

“My cat Skitter was glad to see me but not at all stressed after Sue checked on her daily while I was away. Disrupting a cat's routine can be a bad idea :) Thanks so much, Sue!”

“Pearl thoroughly enjoyed having John walk her this past week while I was recuperating from a knee strain. I would recommend John to anyone who needs a reliable, outgoing and fantastic dog walker/sitter!”

About: I strive to give my pet parents the best photos of their babies! Check out my photos to see some of the results! 🫶🏻 I have experience with amputees, puppies, post-op, and senior dogs (I have a 15 year old tripawd chihuahua). I have experience administering medication, feeding hard and soft food (refrigerated, heated up or at room temperature), managing a post-surgery cone, suture observation, providing assistance navigating the home, and easing fears when they arise. I also have experience taking care of English Bulldogs, Great Danes, Huskies, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Spaniels, Mixed Breed dogs in a variety of sizes, and cats. I’m available ☔️ or ☀️ maybe even ❄️ but not 🌪️. I predominantly work from home and I’m not away from home often, so pet sitting fits well into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can adjust my schedule to be at home if not originally scheduled to be. I would care for anyone’s pet the same way I would care for my own, with the most love, care, and respect for the animal as possible. If the pet is in my home I would allow them the opportunity to explore and get comfortable with their surroundings and follow any of their parents instructions to help them with the new environment. If I’m in the client’s home, I would follow the client’s instructions on how to best serve the animal while I’m there.
“This was our first time leaving our dogs alone with a “stranger” and Jennifer was AMAZING. She was so communicative and sent updates and photos with every visit. I would have her watch my dogs every time we’re away and would recommend her to everyone! Can’t thank her enough!”

About: I love dogs; I treat every pup like my own and ensure they feel safe and well cared for. I strive to earn their trust because they deserve amazing treatment. I'm patient, attentive, and always ready for a walk, playtime, or cuddle session. I've taken care of dogs for many family members and friends over the years, including goldendoodles, rottweilers, french bulldogs, and more. My family owned a German shepherd/husky mix when I was little, so I grew to love and care for pups at an early age. These experiences taught me how to provide beyond baskc care for fur babies. Though I don't have multiple years of professional experience, I'm dedicated to making sure your pup gets the best care possible. I am starting up my own businesses and therefore work from home, so my schedule is super flexible in terms of fitting in time to walk your fur baby, feed them, clean up, and play with them. I can easily adjust my weekend schedule to care for your pet for an overnight stay. I typically don't have big plans over the weekend - especially late night plans. I also don't travel often, but I will block out any future dates for those anomalies. Caring for your pet fits seamlessly into my routine. I love spending time with animals. I can accommodate different needs to ensure your pet is happy. That would be a priority in my day! At my client's home, my priority is providing your fur baby a companion that makes them feel loved, comfortable, and safe in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely including feeding schedule, walk routine, any special needs, etc. I am dedicated to giving your fur baby plenty of attention, play time, and cuddles to keep their pets happy and engaged. I would treat a client's home as my own. Keeping a house tidy and respecting the space is extremely important. I would also send updates at each visit and some pictures/videos so pet parents have peace of mind while they're away!
“Olivia is awesome! She was so good with our puppy Reef. She played with him a lot and took him on a good walk. When she left he was pooped! We highly recommend Olivia and have already booked her again for Reef.”

“Anna was our first pet sitter after relocating from out of state and we couldn’t have found a better match! She checked in before the visits and gave great updates throughout! We came home to a happy kitty no doubt from Anna’s care!”

About: My beloved furry friend is Ellie, a Jack Russell Terrier that is 14 years old. Ellie has been part of my family since she was just a few months old. I have experience with puppies and full size dogs with high-energy that are active and strong. I moved down to Raleigh recently and my dog currently lives with my parents. Where I currently live there are no pets or kids present. Before I moved I regularly cared for three large huskies (one was less then a year old) and a 4-year-old cocker spaniel. I am a caring, active, and responsible dog owner that will treat your pet(s) the same way. Responsibilities I believe are essential when it comes to taking care of a pet are providing them with routine walks and giving them plenty opportunity to regularly use the bathroom outside. As well as, providing them with a food schedule, play time, treats and daily clean water. I am an active person that enjoys running outside, so if you have an energetic dog I will gladly run with them! I live in a dog friendly community with plenty of room for walking and playing. I am currently working part-time and have availability during the week and weekends to care for your furry friend. I look forward to caring for your pet! My apartment complex is pet friendly and has plenty of greenery! During our outside walks and playtime I will ensure your pet receives shade and bathroom breaks.

This was our first time leaving our dogs alone with a “stranger” and Jennifer was AMAZING. She was so communicative and sent updates and photos with every visit. I would have her watch my dogs every time we’re away and would recommend her to everyone! Can’t thank her enough!

Lauren is always so great with my Simba and sends so many pictures of him being happy. Recently he got off leash and decided he wanted to play games instead of listening unfortunately and she handled It calmly and got It all under control and taken care of quickly while I was on an airplane and flying home.

Allegra took care of my 18 year old cat twice a day for 4 days. At his age he is a bit special-care and easily strained. When I got home he showed he had missed me very much, but he was not overly stressed or tired like he sometimes gets when I travel. He clearly enjoyed her company and trusted her presence. His approval is my approval!

Phyllis is a reliable, caring pet sitter. I fully trust her with our dog knowing she is caring for him as if he were her own. We are a repeat customer and this time we were gone 2 weeks and in a different time zone. We received regular updates each visit. Phyllis is exceptional.

Shannon was absolutely excellent! Luna loved her right away, and it was clear she truly cared for her. She provided daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Everything was handled perfectly, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
