About: I grew up with both dogs and cats. I worked at a kennel for over a year with any size and age dogs and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible so when or if you need me, I can be there. I make sure to get my own pup a 20-30 minute walk and play everyday. Pets in my care are spoiled and given (maybe too many) treats. I make sure they get time to stretch their legs, wag their tails, and run off some energy.
About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.

About: I have owned dogs, cats, turtles, and various rodents throughout my entire life and I have always cherished animals. I have received my veterinary assistant certification from Craven Community College and I have over 2 years of pet sitting experience. I understand that pets are not just animals. They are our family and deserve to be treated as such. I am very experienced with pet care. I have cared for pets throughout my entire life and I find it therapeutic to care for and love all animals. I work about 3 days a week so my schedule is very open. I am a full time student but I only have 2 classes a day and I have lots of free time. Most people say I spoil my dog. I have always felt connected to animal and I fully believe that they are “people” just like us. For me, a pet is like a child. They require just as much love. I would never put an animals in harms way. I hold them to the same standard as humans.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners, so animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement such as crate training, leash manners, potty routines, and positive-reinforcement commands. I’m patient and consistent, which helps young dogs learn good habits without stress. I also provide thoughtful senior pet care, including administering oral medications, following special diets, assisting with mobility, and closely monitoring behavior or health changes. I understand that older pets need extra patience, gentleness, and reassurance. In addition, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home.

Because I do this full time, I’m able to accommodate regular feeding schedules, medication timing, playtime, walks, and check-ins without rushing. I can also adjust my availability for pets who need extra attention, such as puppies, seniors, or cats requiring medications or monitoring. My full-time commitment means your pet is a priority—not something I’m squeezing in before or after another job. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and fully present, ensuring your pet receives consistent, high-quality care every day. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the center of how I care for pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely to reduce stress and help them feel secure, especially in their familiar environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, medications, litter box or potty routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep food and hazardous items out of reach, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I’m attentive to behavior changes and health concerns and will communicate immediately if anything seems off. I build trust by moving at the pet’s pace, using positive reinforcement, and providing gentle, consistent care—especially for shy, anxious, senior, or medically sensitive pets. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know how their pet is doing. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, low-stress, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, protected, and cared for as if they were my own.
