Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.

Lillie checked all the boxes perfectly for our needs. She was attentive to our two dogs (one older and one younger / energetic) and our cat. We felt confident and comfortable with our “kids” in her care. Would definitely recommend!

About: I have always grown up with dogs and just recently adopted my cat Douglas shortly after moving from home. Although he provides all the love I need, I do miss all my family dogs presence! I currently work full-time, but would love to make myself available for more interaction with pets! I am available for outdoor walks and pet check-ins! I do not offer anything in my home because I'm not too sure how my cat Douglas would respond ... and he runs the house.

Debbie was a God-send when I needed a short notice dog sitter on a holiday weekend. She is kind and realist me, and I had no qualms allowing her into my home to care for my doggo. She sent photos and left detailed notes about their time together. Both my pup and I loved the experience and I will definitely be calling on her again!

Lindsay took the time to play with Ella and comfort her in our absence. She gave us peace of mind that our Ella was well taken care of! We will definitely be utilizing Lindsay again!!

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.

About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!

About: I am your typical animal lover! The one you see talking to people’s pets in public. I currently have a rescue GSD and a rescue cat so whether you have had your pet since a puppy or adopted at an older age, I assure you they will get ALL the loving. My passion is to rescue hurt, sick, or abandoned animals. I love meeting all the different personalities pets bring. I am a travel emergency nurse that finished an assignment in Highlands, NC recently. I am pretty flexible on times currently. I loved the area so I have decided to hang out for a while until my next assignment. I travel back home (AL) to work every two weeks but will have several days of availability! I am very responsible when it comes to mine and your pet. You set the boundaries for your pets and myself and I promise we will abide by them

I am so grateful to Leandra for taking such good care of my pups while I was away for the day!!! She took them on 2 walks each, sent pics and videos and gave me a run down of what they did, how they were, etc. I will definitely book Leandra again and again, my pups loved her and were tired and happy babies when I got home 🥰

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all shapes and sizes as well as house sat for 4 years. I also own a big dog and have owned medium dogs and cats when I was younger. I’m currently working from home so I’m available most days, anytime, except Sunday mornings. I am comfortable house/dog sitting on holidays and extended periods of time as well. I’m more comfortable with watching pets in their own space so they are comfortable too. Pets need lots of exercise, play, and attention. I like to stick to the pets schedule so they have an easier time while their family is away! It’s also important to me that they aren’t alone long. Company, care and companionship are essential! Trust is also essential. I’m very organized and to myself. You would never have to worry about me rummaging in your things or areas I’m not designated to.

About: I've had dogs in my home as pets since I was born!! My first dog was named Penny. A cute Chihuahua. From that point on I remember having dogs as pets. And as a mother of three children, we had our sampling of dogs from Jack Russell terriers, Labradors, Maltese, Shih Tzu's. Not to mention, gerbils, hamsters, and a few cats along the way. We even had a few Heinz 57 breeds as well. We always took care of our pets and loved them until they crossed over the rainbow bridge. As a mother of 3, I taught them the importance of caring and being responsible for them. They were taught to never mistreat them and always give them love and compassion. Now that my children are grown, all three have pets in their home. The wonderful blessing of having pets in our home when my children were young has transferred over into their homes. They are teaching their own children the responsibility of pet care and love. My single adult son has learning disabilities and mental health issues. He has a Shih Tzu as a pet. If it were not for his dog, my son's days would be hopeless and futile. His dog has prevented him from doing hurtful things to himself because he knew he had the responsibility of taking care of his dog. And he loves his dog so much he did not want to abandon him. I am currently retired. I volunteer at a local thrift store 2 1/2 days a week. All the other days are flexible unless I have personal appointments or family time planned. I have two small Shih Tzu's. They are now in their senior years. Charlie is 15 years old and Sassy is 10 years old. They are the love of my life. I love being retired but I still miss being involved more in my community. And I love dogs! Working as a pet sitter will provide me opportunities to enjoy other's dogs as well as being involved in my community and surrounding area. I will come to your home and provide quality care, love and compassion like I do my very own. If I need to stay the night or a number of nights, I will provide the care that you instruct me to give your pet. I will walk, feed, play and keep your pet's routine as if you were home. I will also administer any medicines if necessary.

Chelsea is an incredible dog-mom and anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog sitter or walker. I’ve known her since 2017 and can attest to the fact that she is utterly devoted to the health and happiness of her own dog, Gidget. In fact, her doggie daycare uses Gidget as the friendly greeter for new pups upon first arriving at the daycare. Chelsea is a brilliant and devoted teacher and has the utmost patience for her students as well as the pets she cares for. She loves hiking the trails with Gidget and having her meet new friends. Schedule her for a meet and greet with your dog and you’ll see for yourself; she’s a catch!

You only have to know April for a few minutes to discover she has a clear passion for animals, especially dogs, horses, and cats! She is extremely knowledgeable about animals from her youth of owning various animals, working after school for a local horse breeder, and spending time in a local vet office. This, along with her ER nursing experience, gives her a confidence that I appreciate when she takes care of my pup. When April keeps my dog, I travel without a single worry for his safety and health. I know I will come home to find him healthy, happy, and usually not wanting to leave her! There are very few people that I consider leaving my dog with for brief business trips, but when I needed to be in Spain for a month, I would have canceled the trip if April had not been available. She treated my pet as she would her own, maintained consistent communication (soothing my separation anxiety!), and was unwavering in following my dog's unique diet plan. I would not hesitate to recommend April to anyone seeking devoted, outstanding care for their furry family members.

Taylor is great with my pets - He communicates very well. He sends updated pictures and lets me know how my pets are doing while I’m traveling. I go out of town quite a bit and Taylor has always been exceptional about watching my pets and making sure that they are loved and taken care of in my absence. I don’t know what I would do without Taylor. He’s the best!

Jenny watches my dogs Olly and Andy every time I go out of town and they absolutely love her! She takes such good care of them! She follows the instructions I leave her, takes them on walks, and I trust her completely. They are always excited to see her and are well taken care of when I return. I highly recommend her caring for your animals.

I am so grateful to Leandra for taking such good care of my pups while I was away for the day!!! She took them on 2 walks each, sent pics and videos and gave me a run down of what they did, how they were, etc. I will definitely book Leandra again and again, my pups loved her and were tired and happy babies when I got home 🥰

London has been dog sitting for me for a couple years now! I never have to worry about my pup when I'm away. He takes very good care of her and is respectful of my home as well. I will continue to have him as my main dog sitter!
