Pet Sitting Hurdle Mills

“Ashley did a fantastic job caring for our three rescue cats. They are all very shy and tend to be afraid of new people, so finding someone they feel safe around is not easy. Somehow Ashley managed to create a sense of calm and trust that we have never experienced with other sitters. She even got our feral cat to come out while she was there, and one of our rescues felt comfortable enough to play, which is truly remarkable. Seeing that level of patience and care brought so much peace and gratitude to my heart while I was away. Thank you so much for the loving care you gave our boys, Ashley. It means more than you know, and we are so grateful to have found you. 🙏❤️”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since my childhood. Currently, I am a dog mom of a playful pup. I am new to the area, and enjoying meeting all the new dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am looking to help out dog owners nearby with any of their dog needs. I have experience with large and small breeds and am excited to work with any breed, size, etc. I am available all week day morning/afternoons/evening for walks, and for overnight stays most weekdays and all weekends. My goal is to make sure your dog is comfortable and taken care of while you are away. I enjoy long walks, being outside, as well as cuddles on the couch with the dogs. Thank you, -Amy Currently I have a flexible schedule and can fit your pets needs into my schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings. Also, I have open availability for weekends. Available to do walks, potty breaks, etc. I will fulfill your pets requests as needed and am happy to sit with your pups, walk and or play.

“Deb was an awesome sitter for Haru! She went above and beyond, followed all our instructions, and best of all kept Haru engaged and cared for.”

“Teresa did a wonderful job taking care of our menagerie for a week while we were gone. We have 1 dog, 3 cats, chickens, a bunny and fish tanks, which can be a lot for some pet sitters, but Teresa did a great job. Will continue to use her for future trips :)”

“Hanna was wonderful. She arrived on time and sent me pictures and updates. My puppy, Ellie loved her immediately. After they met I had no qualms leaving Ellie with Hanna.”

“A quick visit ahead of our trip. It went smoothly. Meredith sent a check-in message and photo, and they watched some Bob Ross together. Wallaby seemed comfortable with her. It was a good visit to reestablish their familiarity with each other before our trip.”

About: After a 30 year career in IT, it was time to pursue my passion…caring for animals. I love all animals, big and small and look forward to providing loving care for yours. I grew up on a small farm and have owned one myself for the past 11 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals including donkeys, goats, horses, cows, ducks, turkeys, chickens, guineas, cats, and dogs. I’m also open to care for other furry friends as well! Additionally, I've just started Metro to Meadows Farm & Pet Sitting LLC. I'm incorporated in NC and insured. I'll work with you to provide services that meet your schedule and needs. I can’t guarantee a precise time (dealing with animals and traffic) but will be there within an hour of the requested time. Dogs are priority for schedule consistency due to the need for potty breaks. My earliest visits are 6 AM and the latest is 8 PM every day of the week. A meet & greet session is required for all new clients prior to a scheduled engagement (free of charge) to ensure the best personalized care for you and your pet. I'm very picky about how my own pets and home are cared for and will ensure the same high standards are provided for yours. Before you leave, please make sure the Contact and Pet Information Sheet is completed. I will also need access to your home/space where pets are located so this would include things like a key or key pad code, and alarm code.

About: Since I was younger I have been house sitting for families. I am very passionate about pets, and would love to be able to help you out! I have a full time work schedule but have very random weekdays off. I can be your girl for those random drop ins when you’re not able to get home! I currently live with my cat Nelly and family dog, Roo. My dog is getting much older so him and I like to go on shorter walks these days.

“Scott took amazing care of our three pugs. You can tell that he is a total dog person and loved our pups like they were his own. I would book with him again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve been an animal keeper for the last 3-4 years working with various exotic wildlife and am currently the Vet Tech/Keeper for (mostly) lemurs. I have great experience and knowledge working with animals (including domestic pets). I volunteered at my local animal shelter working with dogs and cats for many years, doing routine tasks such as feeding, cleaning, bathing, and walking. Apart from basic necessities like feeding and cleaning, I also have great experience preparing and administering medications and am confident in my abilities to handle exceptional dogs and cats that may need more complex care. Outside of my work experience, I have my own personal experience caring for my family pets, including dogs, cats, many rodents, and now chickens. Since high school I have frequently pet sat for friends and acquaintances with a wide range of pets including dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and horses. I am available in the mornings most weekdays, with lesser availability on the weekends. My availability can be flexible upon notice. On weekends right now, I am available only in the late afternoon and evenings. Am only looking to care for pets at the client’s house due to my own housing and pet situation. I’ve cared for pets in this context before and first and foremost, I respect people’s property and homes and can be trusted to be professional and clean. I am flexible to work accordingly with the client’s preferences in regard to how they their pets need to be cared for.

About: I have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets countless times while they were away. I have also owned two dogs since I was twelve so I'm really great with pets! I am currently a stay at home wife so I have lots of flexibility! I will make sure your animals get the best care ever! Although, I am not able to care for pets in my own home I can take care of them in yours. I enjoy going to local parks and being outside so I would love to be outside with your pet.

“Caitlin was so attentive and caring with our home and pets. She definitely loved them as her own and gave us wonderful updates and took the time they needed. We will be reaching back out to her in the future. It’s difficult to find someone you can trust and she is very kind as well as trusting. Thank you again so much again”

About: I've had dogs for over 15 years and a cat for almost 10 years and love taking care of them. I currently have 1 older cat living with me and he is very kept to himself. He's a sweet little guy who isn't bothered by other animals as long as they don't bother him! My availability is any time between classes which are scattered throughout my week. This is a small part time job I've taken for fun while going through my medical school journey so I spend most of my time studying. However, I will happily take your pet to a nice study spot! I'd also love to spend my study breaks on walks or runs with your furry baby! I am very flexible with timing and cancellations. Though I don't have professional experience, I have been around animals all my life. I'm very good at following directions and love learning new things. If the dog has special necessities, I am willing to accommodate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a student. I often take dogs with me to quiet, dog‑friendly study spots, and I use my study breaks for walks, playtime, or runs. Because my class schedule is scattered, I’m very flexible throughout the week and can adjust care times as needed. Spending time with pets is a fun and refreshing part of my day. I care for pets by sticking closely to their regular routine and following all instructions for feeding, walks, meds, and special needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort through walks, playtime, or relaxed hang‑out time. In my home, I have one older cat who mostly keeps to himself and does well around other animals as long as they don’t bother him. If needed, he can be comfortably kept separate in a bedroom he’s used to. I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress‑free for both pets and owners.

“Hayley took great care of my kitties while I was out of town. They were calm and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her!”
