“Holly stayed at my house over the holidays with my two big dogs. I was really anxious to leave them because they are used to traveling with me but Holly put me at ease. She did a great job sending updates and even cleaned my house! Will definitely use Holly again.”

“Angela sat with my babies while I was out od town for a few days. They were very well cared for. They both have separation anxiety and the smallest one is very attached to me. Angela had no trouble making friends with them and there were many photos with the two of them snuggling and having a great time. She also went above and beyond to make sure my recycling and trash got to the curb. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love your pups as much as you would.”

“Marci was absolutely awesome! She sent plenty of pictures and updates. She really takes the time to learn your pup to accommodate all needs as best a she can. That’s something you don’t really see on here anymore so we really appreciated that over here. She even brought a few new toys, seriously such a great sitter to have worked with!”


“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”

About: Hello! I have been pet sitting for 5 years, either staying overnight or just stopping by! I absolutely love watching doggies and helping out when I can. I am able to do whatever you need, I will feed, walk, bathe, etc. i absolutely love meeting new fur babies!! I currently am a student at high point university, majoring in biology. Most of my schedule consists of classes that are about an hour long with hour breaks in between each class. I have a part-time job hosting, only 2 days a week at night time. I am able to take dogs out on a leash, let them out in a yard, crate them, or whatever the plan may be. I can also walk them and pick up after them if preferred! I will give them lots of love and make sure they are comfortable.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have always been passionate about providing pets with a safe, loving, and active environment. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them companionship and attention while their owners are away. My background in dance and fitness has made me very energetic and disciplined, so I enjoy staying active with pets and making sure they get plenty of exercise and engagement. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and helping pets feel calm and comfortable in new environments. I treat every pet like they are my own and prioritize making both pets and owners feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible and open schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s needs, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. I’m dependable, organized, and able to adapt to different routines, whether a pet needs frequent attention, exercise, or a calm and consistent environment. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they receive lots of supervision, affection, and attention throughout the day. I make sure pets have a comfortable space to relax, opportunities for activity and play, and individualized care based on their personality and needs. I also have a fenced yard!
“We were remarkably happy with how it all went. Elena made our dogs fall in love with her. She worked with them and stayed in our house for a week. Everything went really well. I can't say enough about Elena and the care and attention she gave our dog family. It was far superior to "boarding" our dogs. We are totally confident about future times when we have to go away and leave them with her. We thank her. L.Ward”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, currently owning my cat, Boots. I am reliable and will ensure your pet gets the care needed. I work from home two days a week and have weekends free. I will have the flexibility to take animals on walks and go out if needed. I like in an apartment with access to a dog park and trail to walk on. My apartment is very spacious and we have plenty of toys.
“Ceili was wonderful. Always felt our dogs were happy and taken care of. We got lots of food photos and videos. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape. Definitely recommend her services and we’ll be reaching out for future needs!”

“Caleigh was absolutely wonderful with our three animals. One of them is older and requires extra care and medication, and she handled everything with so much patience and attention. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats pets like her own. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”
“As always, Matthew goes above and beyond what is asked of him. His interaction with our kitty is excellent, even when jasper wakes him up at 3 AM. Matthew is attentive to jasper and our home, which is much appreciated. He's terrific!”
