About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.

About: From bunnies to fish to dogs to chickens, I’ve helped out with neighborhood pets since high school. I have my own dog, Gordie, who comes to college with me, so I’m used to caring for pets. I’ve gone through extensive training classes with Gordie and have developed a very good understanding his behavioral cues and how to respond. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and am confident in my ability to interact and connect with them. I’m working part time from home and am always around to stop in to take care of pets, go for walks, or entertain them. I can easily stop in throughout the day for check-ins and walks. I prefer mornings and afternoons but can do a final check-in during the evening too. Looking to make new animal friends! I am used to going into other people’s homes and respecting their space. Safety and security are my priorities when it comes to pets and homes. I know it can be hard for some pets to be at home by themselves, so I’ll make sure to stimulate and comfort your pet during the time I’m there.

About: I grew up with pets and have years of experience caring for animals, including feeding, administering medication, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from walks and playtime to maintaining their daily routines. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I truly enjoy caring for others’ and making sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’m currently a student at Wake Forest, so outside of my class schedule, I’m pretty flexible and able to adjust my routine to meet your pet care needs. I am not available 12-3pm M-Th or T/Th 9:30-11am. In clients’ homes, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and well cared for by following their usual routines. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, cleaning up after the pets, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, or walks. My goal is to ensure pets feel happy and secure while their owners are away.

Sophia H.
“Sophia is one of the best pet caregivers I have ever trusted to take care of my own pets. She is caring, considerate, and hardworking. I have never worried about anything while my pets are in her care because they are so excited to see her and beyond happy when I return. When my dog was sick, Sophia was the first person to help our family out. Not only did she care for him like he was her own dog, but when he passed, she cried with us and we mourned the loss together. Sophia is one of the best dog sitters I know because she is able to meet each dog where they are at, adapting to their own individual needs. She has experience with her own pets at home, and she has taken care of countless other pets throughout her time as a pet caregiver. Sophia is loving, personable, and dependable; she is someone I can always reach out to for support.”

My dog, Duncan, recognizes her car and gets so excited to see her every time, and I know your pets will react just the same. :)”
