About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to wise senior dogs, independent cats, and even a few quirky pets with special needs. I approach each animal with patience, love, and respect for their routine and personality. What sets me apart is my ability to create calm, trusting connections—especially with shy or anxious pets. I understand that pet care is more than feeding and walking—it’s about presence, communication, and earning their trust. Whether it’s belly rubs, medication, or just sitting quietly nearby, I adapt to what your pet needs most. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly schedule—I have open availability most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m flexible for short-notice bookings, consistent walks, or multi-day visits. I also do weekend and holiday care, and I make sure to keep my calendar up to date so you know exactly when I’m available. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule, keep a calm environment, and follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to a T. I clean up after pets, ensure their space is safe and secure, and always double-check doors, leashes, and gates. I’m respectful of your home and committed to earning your trust—and your pet’s.

“Wonderful and so caring, thank you Patricia......Elijah was very happy and content”

About: I have helped my step mom for the last five years as she walked dogs and did check-in’s while people travel. I also love reptiles and know how to care for them. I am currently looking into real estate so I have alot of free time! I currently have check ins every Monday and Wednesday’s walking dogs. I’m free most of the time! I offer all of my clients needs based on their needs for their animals as all animals/homes are different and have different needs. This varies on each house.

About: I have experience with all kinds of pet care. From cats and dogs to chinchillas and bearded dragons. I am experience with medication and well as behavioral I work PRN at 2 nursing homes and I am in school for 13.5 hours a week! I do make my own schedule for the most part so providing adequate care has never been an issue. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am also fire/flood trained. I have been told I am a perfectionist and I do hyperfocus but since I am watching your pets that is a good thing!

About: I have been in the pet care industry for 20+ years. I first started out petsitting in high school for individuals in my neighborhood but when I moved to Raleigh for college, I expanded my petsitting business with multiple families and a wide array of animals. Before moving back to this area, I was employed at a dog day care and boarding facility where my tasks included providing exercise and care, administrating medication (including insulin shots) and making sure the animals were happy. Since moving home, I still want to bring joy to an animals life by providing attention and care during the day, walking them, providing them with an outlet to play. I currently work remotely, so my daytime hours are pretty flexible. My routine each day tends to be the same, so I know my schedule well in advance. While I don't care for pets in my own home, I will treat your home like my own. I always check to make sure that the home is secure, that there are no messes left by animals, that any toys that are left lying around pose no danger to the pet (for example, if I see a torn stuffie, I'll put it out of reach).

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and now have two of my own. Both of our dogs have been trained since puppies the basics as well as advanced tricks such as “tell me a secret.” I would be willing to work with your dog on any tricks. Your pup will be in great hands! My dogs are very friendly and full of energy, they love meeting other dogs! I currently work 8am-5pm. I wake up with the dogs in the morning to let them out, play and feed them. They are crate trained during the day. I come home on lunch from 12-1 and return home at 5pm. Our pets are always watched over and never left unattended without supervision for long periods of times. There is nothing that would harm the animals such as chocolate in reach of them. We do have a fenced in yard and use leashes when going on a walk. I always have a pet first aid kit handy incase of any accidents and would be reliable to give any pet medications on a set schedule.

About: I have extensive pet care experience, having owned and cared for two beloved dogs that each lived long, happy lives—one reaching 18 years and the other 20 years. Over the course of their lives, I gained hands-on experience with all aspects of dog care, including feeding routines, exercise, grooming, administering medications, and providing a nurturing, loving environment. I am very familiar with the needs of both young and senior dogs, including maintaining their health and comfort through all stages of life. Now that I am retired, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for dogs. I am available to provide attentive pet sitting, ensuring that dogs under my care receive not only their basic necessities but also companionship, playtime, and affection. My focus is on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether they need daily walks, special diets, or just someone to spend quality time with them. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I bring years of experience, patience, and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting opportunity. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as a retiree. With flexible days, I can easily schedule visits, walks, and playtime around my personal errands and hobbies. Caring for pets gives structure to my mornings and afternoons, and it adds a joyful sense of purpose to my week. When I dog sit in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping the dogs happy, safe, and comfortable by following their usual routine for meals, walks, and rest. I always get detailed instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and emergency contacts. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation, and I monitor their health by watching their appetite, bathroom habits, and energy levels. I keep a clean and safe environment by securing doors and gates, cleaning up after them, and making sure water and food bowls are fresh. I also spend quality time giving them attention and affection, respect their personality and comfort level, and send regular updates to the owner. By staying attentive, organized, and caring, I provide a stress-free, positive experience for both the dogs and their owners.

About: Pets have been in my life since a very young age. I would love to be trusted with the care of yours! I’ve taken care of and loved on many for quite a few years. Having grown up in a large family I’ve been around quite a few pets (including little froggy friends to your doggos). I would enjoy puppy fun, from walks, and play time, to dinner, and cuddles. I want you to be comfortable with leaving your fur babies, knowing they’ll get the love they need. I have a very flexible schedule due to taking college online, while this is my part time job. I am family oriented, so I’ll communicate around family appointments and schooling. Being in your home means respect. Just tell me what your pup needs and is used to and I’ll make sure they have a blast. From giving medication, to bath time, and brushing, I can do it. I’m big on communicating, and keeping you updated so you never have to worry. want pictures of your buddy? You got it. Want a check list? Done.

“I had never used a dog walking service before, but I was in a jam and needed help fast. Holly, Josh, and Grace came through and got me scheduled right away! My dog can be a handful with his crazy zoomies, but they handled him like pros. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands, getting the exercise and attention he needs while I’m at work. I’m so grateful for their flexibility and care—I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: Devoted pet parent, my heart has belonged to a menagerie of dogs, cats, chickens, rats, rabbits, gerbils, a sugar glider, and a chameleon. There’s nothing I love more than snuggling with furry, feathered, and scaled companions. After recently losing my elderly dog, I’m eager to channel my nurturing spirit to help other fur babies. I am able to give medications. I’m excited to share my love of animals with other pet parents. I’m a nurse who works three days a week and I’m looking to spend my free time loving your pet babies as if they were my own. I currently do not have any pets, as mine have recently passed. Therefore, my time, love, and attention would be devoted solely towards your babies.
