“Rachael was absolutely wonderful with my four cats! They have their unique quirks and needs. One of the cats has a strict medication schedule and a couple of them have dietary restrictions. Rachael handled all of this perfectly. It was a huge relief knowing they were in caring hands. I came home to four happy and healthy kitties and that is a wonderful feeling. Thank you Rachael!”

“Vickie and Kylee were great. They sent me updates and pics of my cat with each visit. I could tell that my cat was well loved upon returning. Thanks so much!”

“Anabella is a great sitter! She provided detailed updates that allowed us to feel as ease while we were away from our little Serena! She is professional, friendly and gave our cat lots of love and attention! Highly recommend booking with Anabella!”

He went above & beyond both in prep (I gave him wrong address as just moved but he came to my new home and was kind about mistake) and in care for my babies. He brought toys for them to okay with and gave me great updates and pics. I hope to have him care for my babies next time I’m out of town.”

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.

Whether you have a puppy, a senior cat, or a pet with unique medical needs, you can rest assured your beloved companion is receiving knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly expert care. I have a flexible schedule to meet all of your pets needs! Prioritizing your pet's comfort and care is my goal.

I always prioritize your pet's safety and follow your care instructions with the precision and detail of a veterinary professional.
“Kate took care of my fur family while I was out of town. I was often worried about them, but Kate put my mind at ease by providing me with regular check ins on how everyone was doing. Kate sent photos of my cats showing that she spent time with them. Seeing them sitting on her lap brought me so much peace. I looked forward to receiving the photos of them she sent! Thanks, Kate!”


“As usual, Kimberly took great care of our kitties. She will always be my first choice, when she is available. My cats are always so content when I get home. Thanks again!”

“Courtney was great with our 18 year old cat Max! She stopped by once a day and gave him his medication and updated us on his progress. He also had an accident which she notified us of and clean up very well - thanks again for that! I would definitely recommend her.”

I will always meet with you ahead of my stay with your pet to ensure that I understand your pet's needs and any risks that I need to navigate such as aggressive behaviors on walks.
