About: Hi, my name is Taylor! I am a recent high school graduate who will be attending NC State University in the fall to study Animal Science. I have past experience with pet sitting, often for longer than a week. Along with that, I have over a year of experience shadowing at a local veterinary hospital. I also have experience taking care of my own fur babies at home! I would love to spread love and care to your pets if you’ll have me. Please reach out if interested! I currently work part-time at Chick-fil-a, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I have a flexible and light schedule which allows me to dedicate a lot of my time to the animals around me. When at a client’s home I love to curl up with a good book and a sweet cat. I also enjoy taking pups on walks and playing fetch or tug with them. I am always down to cuddle with any furry friend.

About: I am an experienced animal lover who would love to provide care and company to your dog(s), cat(s) or other furry/scaley/feathery family members! I have 3 fur babies of my own. I have 2 dogs, 1 chocolate lab mix and 1 medium terrier mix. My dogs range from a high energy & fetch obsessed to a senior who just wants to take a leisurely stroll and get some cuddles. So, I'm prepared for it all :) I also have a cat that basically runs the show, especially my sleep schedule. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the years. Most commonly performed dog walking, feeding, kennel clean up, and dog interactions. I'd love to come sit and play with your pet or take them on a nice walk, whatever you (and your pet) prefer! Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I currently work full time so I am available for evening drop-ins and walks between 5pm-10pm. I am available for in-home pet sitting with advance notice. Not currently caring for pets in my home. I would care for a clients pet however they prefer. I currently care for the pets in my home with various enrichment: slow feeders, treat puzzles, long sniffy walks, plenty of love and attention. We also take breaks when over stimulated.

Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid and I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was 16. If I dog sit I normally like to leave the house looking better than when I got there. Coming home to a cleaner house is always nice. I love animals more than you will ever know. I have such a strong passion, love, and interest for all animals. That is why I want to own my own animal rescue once I get out of college. If you leave your pets with me then just know that they will be loved unconditionally and taken care of beyond expectation. I hope you can trust me with your loved ones🐾 I am currently a college student and I have class on Monday and Tuesday from 11am to 2:30pm. The rest of my week is free besides church on Sundays and Wednesdays. I have a huge back yard with 8 dogs and two cats. Unfortunately some of my dogs were not socialized enough and they are not that friendly with other dogs. That is why I would rather take care of your pets from your home. I have also dog sat enough to know that when you bring a dog into a new environment they can become extremely stressed and anxious and they might not eat for days or until there owner comes home. That is why I feel it is better and easier to watch and care for your animals from your home. It will be easier for them and me.

About: Hi im Victoria, Your pet is in experienced hands. I’m a fully insured, Pet CPR certified, certified dog trainer and professional groomer with previous experience as a veterinary assistant, giving me a well-rounded background in pet care. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and needs—from puppies who need structure and basic training to senior pets who require extra patience, mobility support, or medication schedules. I’m also experienced administering medications and monitoring pets for any health or behavior changes. My goal is to provide safe, knowledgeable, and reliable care so your pets feel comfortable, maintain their routine, and receive the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work professionally with dogs and have built my schedule around caring for animals, so providing reliable, attentive care fits naturally into my day. Because of my background as a certified dog trainer and professional groomer, I’m used to working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs throughout the week. Whether it’s walks, training reinforcement, playtime, medication schedules, or simply making sure pets feel comfortable and secure, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m very organized with scheduling and communication, which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and mental stimulation. With my background as a fully insured certified dog trainer, professional groomer, and former veterinary assistant, I’m able to provide a higher level of care than a typical sitter. I’m comfortable working with puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, mobility support, or medication. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while maintaining the same level of care they receive from you at home. 🐾

I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background.

About: Animal enthusiast! What sets me apart is that I’m not only an experienced pet lover, but also a responsible and attentive caregiver who treats every animal like family. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, reliable care when needed. I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, Gus, which has taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially patient and gentle, which helps with both energetic young pets and older pets who need a calmer, more careful approach. I also make sure to follow instructions closely, communicate clearly with owners, and provide updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and available when you need someone you can trust with your pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel secure and stress-free. In a client's home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet's normal schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I pay close attention to pets during visits and walks, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and make sure pets receive the same love, patience, and care that I give my own cat, Gus.
