“Clayton took such high quality care of my Nova girl. He safely introduced her to other dogs and then they were able to have the best playing day! I’m so grateful she was able to have a good experience and come home ready to sleep😊”

About: I’ve helped my dogs as a teenager birth a few litters, walked and ran with dogs for 15 years. I’ve taken care of three elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Even bathed and trimmed our dogs for years, I enjoy caring for animals. I’m home most of the day every day, I go on long walk/runs in the morning that I can bring animals along. I have a minivan that can haul all sizes of animals. I have a large fenced yard with chickens and my cats are friendly and live inside and outside the home. We are easygoing and just enjoy having animals around. Our garage is also large and great for another space to keep animals. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great walking area along the road.

About: I’ve had many dogs as well as other animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs from Great Danes to miniature pinchers. Many friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for them for up to two weeks at a time. I’m currently a stay at home with my 20 month old and looking to make money while I’m home. I’d love to do so while being able to help out people with their animals. I’m home almost always and have an open available to do so. I do not currently have any animals in the house just my 20 month old baby. If I do come to you she will have to come with me.

5. Maeghan M.
About: I currently live in the Northwoods neighborhood and love dogs. I walked and boarded many dogs in Okinawa Japan as well as Florida and now here in North Carolina. I have experience giving dogs medication, kennel trained dogs, and dogs who like to free roam. The entire downstairs and fenced in backyard is all open for dogs to enjoy. As a full-time dog sitter I’m able to spend substantial time to caring for your dog/dogs. I delight in hosting dogs at my residence for boarding purposes and doggie daycare. On days when I'm busy with errands, my eldest child offers support, facilitated by their early return home from school. I have sectioned off areas if needed and plenty of room for kennels. The yard is fenced in and gets picked up and cut often. I own a cleaning company so I am a clean freak.


6. Ashley & Nathaniel S.
“Ashley watched my dog Ronald for 3 days in her him and I know that my dog was very happy with her while I was gone, he was excited to see me but also sad to leave Ashley. I can assure you your dog will always be treated with love and care.”

“We love KenLynn. She sat for our dog on very short notice while we were visiting from out of town. She responded to our request within half an hour and was very flexible with her schedule. Her two little dogs are very sweet. My dog is wary of strangers but he took to KenLynn and her pups right away. I would not hesitate to ask her to look after our dog again.”

12. Liliana B.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and passionate animal lover, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a gentler touch, I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a wide variety of animals over the years. I understand that each pet has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks—and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for when you're away. Whether it’s going on long walks, sticking to specific feeding routines, administering medications, or simply offering extra cuddles and playtime, I approach every pet with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family, because that’s what they deserve. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a stress-free, loving environment while you’re away. Being a stay-at-home full-time student actually works out perfectly for pet sitting. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets a ton of attention, stick to their routines, and just be there when they need company. My schedule is super flexible, so I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feedings—whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable. Plus, spending time with animals is a great break from studying, and it honestly makes my day better. It’s a win-win—I get to care for awesome pets, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. The yard is fully fenced, so they can play and explore outside without any worries—it’s perfect for zoomies, sniffing around, or just relaxing in the sun. At night, I make sure they’ve got a cozy place to sleep, whether that’s a bed, crate, or their favorite blanket from home. I do my best to keep things calm and familiar so they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time they’re here.

16. Tianna C.
“Tianna C. is the most caring and attentive person when it comes to dogs. She has an incredible ability to connect with each pet, showing patience, kindness, and genuine love for all animals. Over the 13 years I’ve known her, she’s always had multiple dogs of her own, has fostered countless others, and has worked closely with organizations to help stray dogs find their forever homes. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring every dog feels safe and loved make her the perfect choice for pet care. I couldn’t think of anyone better to trust with your furry family members!”

About: After taking a break the last few years to raise little ones, we are BACK and opening our home to new four-legged friends! ABOUT US- We are a house full of dog lovers. I grew up with miniature schnauzers and labs. I love all breeds. My husband and I have a sweet, submissive and energetic seven year old black lab. We also have two young, sweet boys. Dogs MUST be friendly and good with kids and other dogs. Must have experience around young children. Our kids are not allowed in dog kennels or around dogs while they are eating. They are sweet with all animals and are taught to treat them with respect. We don’t allow rough play with animals. We love dogs and would love a house full so we are excited to host pups in our home! We will love on your animal and treat them as our own. It will be lots of playtime with our lab and kiddos. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for play. I work from home so your pup will have constant scratching, love, potty breaks, and play time. Our dog has never met a stranger dog and we will monitor them closely to be sure everyone is playing nice at all times. We will not accept aggressive dogs in our home. Can't wait for pup playtime with your furry one! I am a stay at home mom and artist so my life revolves around caring for humans and pets! We have a relaxed and flexible schedule and move as the day leads us. 🙃 Lots of scratch sessions and outside time. We have a big backyard for lots of play. Pets are allowed on furniture. We would prefer a crate be provided to give a familiar happy space and breaks if needed.

“Catrina is definitely a exceptial dog mom!! She's helped me with my 2 dogs+cat in the past for a week or two at a time. She is very professional with a great outgoing person/personality. She still watches my loved ones from time to time and I can honestly say we've built a great friendship”


20. Taylor C.
About: I’ve had atleast 3 dogs my whole entire life growing up. Even now we have 3 dogs. All of our dogs are professionally trained and we consider animals family. I like animals more than people. We recently lost our retired service dog due to cancer so this is to help fill the void of missing him and me being a stay at home mom now. I am happy to help with basic obedience. I take my dogs on a minimum mile walk every single day, regardless of the weather. I look forward to meeting your babies! I am currently a retired veteran as of October and am a full time stay at home mom to my two boys and 3 dogs. I love animals! I have a fenced in spacious yard (we have huskies and a German Shepard) so I understand the important of training and playing. I have 2 large crates and I’m happy to provide and abide by whatever routine you have.
