I am almost always available and have been dog sitting since I was 8 years old. I have taken animal assistance classes through high school and have continued on with taking college courses to become a vet assistant.

About: I have extensive experience providing care and support, whether for people or animals. I’m naturally compassionate and attentive to the needs of any living being, and caring for others has become second nature to me.

I prioritize safety and responsibility, ensuring pets are never left unattended and always have their needs met. You can rely on me to provide consistent, dependable care.
About: I have walked and pet sat for many years for friends, family, and coworkers. I myself have had dogs and cats all my life so know how important it is to have someone you trust take care of your babies. One of my dogs is senior so I am used to lifting him (50 pounds) and providing medication with meals when needed. I will treat your pet like my own and look forward to meeting them(: I am currently working full time remotely but am able to commit Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays an hour during the work day and after business hours as needed. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday so I have plenty of time available for your pet. We can discuss what exactly you would like for your pet and go from there! If they need to be walked I can walk them in your neighborhood or local park. If your pet needs some extra love and attention I can check on them so they are content and play with them so they are entertained!

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.
“Sarah goes above and beyond to make sure our pup gets the attention he needs and makes him feel very comfortable and loved. She is a great communicator as well and responds in a very timely manner. We are very thankful to have found her and would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in the pet industry at a locally owned pet store. I’ve helped hundreds of pet parents find the right food, gear, and care solutions. Now, I want to offer personal care for your pets while you're away. I'm a stay at home dad, so my schedule can be pretty flexible! Mondays and Wednesdays are usually open for me and I can accommodate most weekends and weekdays as needed I don’t offer boarding at my home (my own dog isn’t the best host...) but I’m happy to provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s familiar space. I’m a strong guy and very comfortable handling large dogs, even if they’re a bit “enthusiastic” on the leash. I'd love to talk about your pet’s routines, quirks, and favorite toys. I'm also comfortable giving medication to dog and cats, my own senior pup is a bit special needs and takes 6 prescriptions daily...
“Brianna is AWESOME! She took my two dogs for a walk today, and I was extremely impressed by her professionalism and love of animals! She was very prompt when corresponding with me, and treated my dogs with love & great care throughout the time she was with them. I highly recommend her for any job which you are considering her!”

About: I love animals, both big and small, furry and not. I currently have an 12 year old lab/German shepherd mix, a 5 year old corgi/chihuahua mix, a cat, multiple aquariums - fish, and chickens! I have experience training my own young pups, and helping older dogs that are on medications and have a harder time getting around. I have pet sat for neighbors, family and friends for the last several years, and their animals are always just as important to me as my own. I want your fur babies (and other pets) to be happy and healthy while you are away, and I will send plenty of photos so you can see their happy faces and wagging tails. I also have experience with turtles, chinese water dragons, snakes, and frogs! CURRENT AVAILABILITY - I am only available early mornings (no later than 6 a.m.), evenings (starting at 5 p.m.) M-F and any time Saturday and Sundays (depending on our family plans) **SNOW/ICE - when there is snow and ice at my house, I am usually unable to get out of my driveway, much less make it to someone else's house** I can't wait to meet your animals. . . I will play with them at your house, take them to a nearby park, and/or walk them around your neighborhood- whatever meets your needs. I also enjoy just sitting with an older animals and giving them some sweet snuggle time, if that is what is needed. If your animals like and want interactions with children, my two sons (10, 14) would be more than happy to come with me provide play and snuggle time with me (they will not be with me otherwise). There is nothing more fun and rewarding to me than knowing that your animals are happy and being taken care of and that I am a part of that.
About: I am a recent Duke graduate on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive experience caring for laboratory dogs and I currently work at a veterinary clinic. I regularly walk, bathe, and socialize dogs and cats. I also have experience administering medications and subcutaneous injections. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of availability! I am completely free about 3 days per week and I frequently work half-days. I am happy to visit your pet multiple times a day and spend lots of quality time playing and cuddling. I am a consistent and responsible worker. I am happy to give your pets multiple visits per day, as well as do housekeeping tasks such as checking the mail and watering plants.
About: Ever since I was a teenager I've been taking care of neighbors pets and watching their houses while they were away. I have a dog of my own and I love animals of all types. When I pets sit for you. I take care of your dog or cat like they are my own. I also leave your house in a better condition than I found it. While I currently have a full-time job, taking care of your fur babies is important to me and I am hoping to eventually grow this into a full-time business. All the time I am not working will be dedicated to staying, playing, and taking care of your dogs or cats. I appreciate you trusting me with staying in your home and taking care of your house while you are away I would show the utmost respect for your space. I also recognize that it is your pet's home and they have their own routines they like to stick to and I will respect that as much as possible.
