“Mary is WONDERFUL!!! She was kind and attentive to our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates. We would love to have her back!! Our pups clearly loved her and we are so happy that we found someone we can trust to stay with our dogs.”

Heather B.

“John was so great! He took awesome pictures of the babies and spend tons of time just loving on them. He did a great job with the litter boxes and special feeding schedules/meds for our whole zoo. Thank you!”

Brandi M.

“Rachel was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond for our dogs and cared for them like our own. I’m pretty sure Dog’s would prefer to have her over us any day of the week. Lol but in all seriousness, she did an absolutely fantastic job so if you’re looking for a Dog Sitter, I cannot recommend her enough.”

Megan M.

“Chloe was great! She was open to any accommodations we had with our pup. She handled his separation anxiety like a champ and kept to his routine. She was very communicative and provided lots of pictures! We will use her again!”

Michelle B.

“I hate leaving my dogs but Sam made it a little easier with pictures and great communication. When I got home it was like I never left they were happy and the house looked great”

Julie R.

“Wow! We had to change from a boarder to a house sitter, because our female dog went into heat the day before we left. Not only did Richie agree to house sit with less than 24 hour notice, but our house is cleaner than when we left. Richie washed the guest sheets, remade the guest bed, swept and mopped the downstairs, and picked up the backyard. The dogs were fully spoiled. Richie took them on daily walks and played ball in the backyard. He sent us updates multiple times a day that included pictures and a map of their walks. Our cat even warmed up to him and requested pets. I highly recommend Richie to watch your pets.”

“Margeaux was awesome!! On top of being incredibly communicative, she sent so many cute pictures of our fur babes and took amazing care of our home. When we arrived home the house was so clean and the animals had been so loved. Highly recommend Margeaux!”

Meghan M.

“Whitney is the best! She communicated, sent pictures, updated me. She helped me tremendously when I recently went on a rescue team to Asheville for the hurricane! She was great with my three pets, I would highly recommend!! 😊 thank you so much Whitney!”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I have administered medication for older cats and dogs, fed and rode horses, learned how to intervene safely in the event of a dog altercation, and love just spending time with pets of all types and sizes. As I kid, before everyone had a smartphone, I made fliers for dog walking and petsitting, and spread them in nearby neighborhoods. Throughout late elemtary school and middle school I did loads of dog walking and caring for pets while their owners were away. In high school my time was more consumed by schoolwork and sports, but I was still exposed to petsitting though my brother who did Rover constantly. I spent lots of time with him, and observed his tender and efficient care for the animals he looked after. Hello! I am a recent graduate from Appalachian State University with a degree in Agroecology (sustainable agriculture). In Boone I worked on a farm with livestock such as goats, chickens, and pigs. I also worked with children ages 4-14 for two years at High Country Forest WIld- an all outdoor experiential education program. I also balanced taking care of my two cats while having loads of schoolwork and trying to maintain a social life. Now I'm back home in the triangle and eager to continue working with animals, as its one of the things that brings me feel joy. Petsitting allows me a flexible job while I navigate this next chapter of my life and gives me another way to connect with the community in another way. I cherish each chance to meet everyone's furry companions & learn more about people outside of my daily rhythms. I am an avid hiker, runner, and nature lover, so am always happy to take along any pet that's down for an adventure to the nearby trails. I've watched houses with up to 7 dogs at a time, so I'm very comfortable with multiple animals and giving each one the attention they need. No one knows your pet better than you. So whatever information you would like to provide for me to know their needs while you're away would be appreciated. Such as the way they take their medication best, places they love to go, how they handle interacting with new animals/people, and any triggering behavior to look out for.

“Nicole took great care of our Bella! She did such an awesome job updating us too while we were gone and sent lots of photos! We are using her again for a second booking!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jaqueline! She was absolutely outstanding with my dog, Coco. When Jaqueline noticed that Coco wasn’t feeling well, she quickly recognized the need for urgent care and contacted me. Jacqueline willingly took Coco to the emergency vet. I was so grateful that she spent the entire Saturday assessing the situation and providing the care Coco needed. What really stood out to me was how Jaqueline stayed with Coco at the vet during her examination which the vet then kept Coco overnight. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that my pup was in such caring hands. Jaqueline truly went above and beyond, and I can’t thank her enough for the love and attention she gave to Coco. Highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs! 🐾❤️”

“Brittney was the absolute best! I used her for house sitting, and I can’t say enough good things. Super attentive and responsive, sent me a ton of amazing pics, and cared for my house and animals like they were her own! She left my place spotless and my dog and cat loved her. Will be using again for sure!”

Tom M.

“Zoe was wonderful! She stayed in our home keeping our 6-year old Boxer. Everything went perfectly, Zoe was in touch during our time away. We are definitely using her again and recommend her!”

Elizabeth L.

“Stacey took great care of my senior dog Rhea! I'm pretty sure she also left my house cleaner than I left it, and she made sure to water my garden. She has great communication, and sent pictures of Rhea while we were away.”

Tuesday S.

“Taylor was amazing! I reached out to Taylor last minute for a few nights of house sitting with our zoo. Our dogs all have different personalities but she made sure to cater to them all. I am so glad I found her as she was extremely accommodating and made sure to keep me updated throughout my trip away from home.”

Ellen S.

“I can’t say enough great things about Patti! She was fantastic and very patient with our pup who proved to be stubborn and opinionated when we left town. She was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond.”

Torey F.

“Faith is the absolute BEST!! She not only takes great care of Jade, but is very communicative and helps out in a last minute crisis. We can’t thank her enough. We have solid peace of mind when Jade is in Faith’s hands!”

Kelly H.

“Zoe was fantastic- she took our dogs on with short notice and was extremely respectful of our house. Communication was excellent and our dogs were well taken care of. Would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

Brock R.

“Mae did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She maintained communication, sent picture updates and made sure the dogs and cat were well loved on. She even did a meet and greet without hesitation.”
