About: Hey y'all, I grew up with dogs and had a dog of my own until recently when she passed. I've also spent time on lots of friends farms for fun, doing chores, and farm-sitting for them. I have experience with goats, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats! This means I know how to interact with lots of different personalities including wary and hyperactive animals. I'm also not afraid of handling messy situations. :) I moved to the Triangle for a paralegal job at a non-profit that works on cleaning up coal ash across the southeast. Years ago I left that job to run a small business and farm. I love my work and living in Hillsborough, and am grateful for a fully flexible schedule! I pet, house, and farm sit a couple of times a year and would be happy to do so for you! Honestly, this is a bit of a selfish endeavor as I would like to be able to spend more time with some floof friends. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks! Jenna I work full time as a self-employed farmer, but my schedule is extremely flexible. I live in town and lease land less than ten minutes away. It is my habit to work early in the morning and later in the day, coming home for the middle portion of the day to avoid the heat. I'm easily able to tailor my schedule to your pet's needs! My apartment is a very lucky setup. I effectively have a private entrance to my place, two fenced areas for dogs, as well as being a two minute walk from a park and public dog park with two additional fences areas. Also, I live alone but have two bedrooms, so the apartment itself is spacious.
“Grace was THE BEST house and petsitter I've had the pleasure to work with! The whole process just felt really easy with her -- quickly scheduled and efficient meet and greet, check-ins with pics daily, flexibility to accommodate my travel schedule, a clean home to return to. Would love to be able to book her again for future stays.”
About: I've had dogs as pets since I've been a little girl so hand in hand. I've taken care of dogs since I've been a little girl. Every time my dad goes out of town. I watch the animals. I watch the neighbors dogs. Animals always love me because I treat them with the utmost respect and like my own children. I will make sure your dog uses the bathroom regularly. I will walk them if needed and I will show them lots of love so they will not even be sad while you are away. I can even take pictures with your dog and send you pictures and little updates in case you miss your little furry friend while you're on your trip. I love dogs so much and I've always wanted to make money doing something I love. That's why I have come to this app to work. Pet care fits in my daily and weekly routine. Right now I am in college and only have to focus on taking classes. So I have a lot of free time. Other than that, I have my own transportation and I can travel to different cities to watch your pets and your home!. I care for pets with the upmost respect. I follow all the rules given. If I have any questions at all I will text and call immediately. If watching your home I can also do some cleaning for you for when you get back so everything is in order.
About: I have two dogs, a Cairn Terrier and a Black Lab. I have dog-sat since 2019 and cat sat since 2022 and I can clean up accidents, give medications, and give them baths or just give them a walk and some attention. I have a pretty open schedule. I can be away from home from 6AM-10PM. I would like to be notified at least a day prior to know if there are any changes, unless there’s an emergency. I can provide a fenced yard, lots of love, and treats (if they’re allowed to have some). My goofy black lab loves meeting others and doesn’t care what size or age. My Cairn is small, very curious, and always tries to show who's boss.
About: Since I was a child, I’ve thrived around animals. I grew up with a yellow lab, DJ, a bearded-dragon named Chico, and a hamster named Princess. Currently I have a yellow lab named Cooper who is very energetic and requires special attention, and a black cat named Dexter. I have experience with house-sitting, walking, playing and loving all kinds of animals. I can’t wait to meet your pet! Im based in Hillsborough and currently work full time Sun-Thurs 7am-3pm in RTP/Durham. I’m happy to provide walks and drop ins during my off times. In your home, I will make sure your pet is at their most comfortable. I will never get too close to your pet unless they are comfortable, I have experience with timid dogs. However, if your pet requires extra attention and tummy rubs, I can assist with that!
