“Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!”
“Alicia & Richard are awesome! So thankful we found great trustworthy folks to come in and check on our fickle kitties! Definitely will be requesting them again!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. What sets me apart is my reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals—I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and providing lots of affection, and I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to start and end my day working from home. I’m home Monday-Friday 10am and before and 4pm and after. On the weekends, I’m home all the time. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their space clean and secure. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a welcoming and safe environment where they’ll get lots of love, playtime, and supervision. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel at home and well cared for. I have a partially fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that love to play.
About: I have raised my sweet cat Sneaky since she was a kitten, as well as my dog Mabel since she was a puppy. I have had Sneaky for 7 years, and Mabel for 5. They are my life! I also have some grooming experience, so I am familiar with animals in a professional setting as well. I currently work for Instacart and attend NC State University. I'll be able to take care of your pets any time I'm not in school! I will care for your pets to your exact specifications and keep them great company! I am available for walks, drop ins, and some house sitting!
About: As a lifelong dog dad, I have years of experience with my own pets and with others. Being a working author makes home pet sitting is an ideal situation for me. All I need is internet and a place to sit with my laptop. Cuddles from the fur babies always provides inspiration. You can count on responsible care from a guy who has had more life experience than some (a kind way to say older). 🙂 Although I prefer just a few days at a time since I’m married and have my own fur babies, I would consider longer term house sitting for the right situation. I am a working author. This makes my situation flexible and provides my ability to be attentive. I still perform vocals with a jazz band, but that would be blocked off on my schedule as would any book tours. My policy for care of your pets is that you know them best. I hope not to drive you crazy with requests of daily schedule, but routines are important for our fur families. Therefore, I will want to know a typical day and will try to adhere to that as closely as possible. I do not accept pets in my home.
“Thomas has helped take care of my animals on multiple occasions. He is reliable, thoughtful, pleasant and flexible. It’s comforting to know my animals are in good hands, when I'm not able to be there .”
“Grace is so sweet and both my pups loved her! She helped me out when I was in a last minute bind which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her to take care of my boys again!”
“Laila was extremely flexible working with my post op schedule. My skittish boy, Blitz took to her in minutes and Bonnie loved her attention immediately. They are big dogs and can sometimes be intemidating but Lail exuded confidence and seemed very comfortable. We will definitely call on her again!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, including those with special needs and medical conditions. Every animal in my care will be loved, snuggled, and spoiled—or given the space they prefer, depending on their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe and comforting environment for them while you’re away. Hi, My schedule is open, my hours are not limited… accept for Wednesdays. I can watch on Wednesday with advance notice, please and thank you. I will discuss care with the owner one on one, each animal is special and different and the owner will know what is best for their fur baby.
“Teresa took amazing care of my cats during the week of my trip. She was caring and professional, providing pictures and updates every day. My senior needed eye drops and she administered without problems. And from the happiness in the pictures, my younger male really enjoyed her visits. Teresa visited faithfully despite the horrible weather (flood and tornado warnings!) and her earned confidence allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thank you Teresa for taking care of my kitties! I would definitely book you again.”
“Kayla was fantastic! Great communication from her through my travels. Already booking with her again. It’s great to have a trustworthy person to keep my cat company and feed her while I’m away!”
“Paula is a wonderful dogsitter! We were on vacation and found her on Rover. We contacted her last minute and she was very responsive. Our dog, Willow, has major separation anxiety and she immediately took to Paula and was comfortable with her. Paula is a natural with animals and obviously cares for their happiness and well-being. She was incredibly punctual and took Willow on many walks since it was such fine weather. We came home to a very happy and relaxed puppy! I recommend her completely!”
About: Hey there! I’m an animal lover and pet mom to three dogs—Oakley, Rocky, and Milo—and one spoiled cat named Gizmo. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and truly believe pets are part of the family. I’ve never met a furry friend I didn’t fall in love with, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I’m all about giving them the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve 🐾❤️ Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available on most days, making it easy to accommodate your pet care needs whenever you need me! I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking in your home, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space. Whether it’s a quick potty break, playtime, or a nice walk around your neighborhood, I’ll be there to give them the care and love they need while you’re away
“We are new to NC. We were very concerned no one would want to watch our dog, due to size & nervousness around new people. We lucked out with Alison. She walked in and was not scared of him what so ever. I am very grateful for Alison.”

Kaitlyn S.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Kaitlyn gave my pets! I have a very energetic chorkie and a shy cat, and somehow they both warmed up instantly! My chorkie usually takes a while to trust new people, but he was wagging his tail and curling up in her lap by the first evening. My cat, who tends to hide from visitors, even came out for chin scratches! I received daily updates with pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my pets weren’t just being watched, they were truly loved and cared for. I came home to two happy relaxed animals, and I know I will be booking with Kaitlyn again without hesitation. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend her!”
