Paul is the best, we are lucky to have him take care of our dogs when we aren’t able to. Our puppy is a stinker to warm up to people but once he comes out of his crate he loves Paul a ton!

Kim is very friendly, courteous and polite. My dogs immediately took a liking to Kim and showed her how comfortable they were with her while holding them in her arms. As soon as my dogs were placed on Kim's lap, they stopped barking (usually a constant barkers) and became calm. Kim's secure, loving affection she conveys has a valuable impact to my dogs' temperaments.

I wish I could leave 10 statrs because she deserves it. I've never used this app and she was the first Individual I hired. Constant updates with pictures and descriptions of the visit that made us laugh out loud. Sam went above and beyond to ensure they had water, sweep up their poop motel (Litter Robot) and actually spend time with my babies. She is amazing and I was able to tell my family about the app as well. Thank you Sam for everything, you're always welcomed in our home.

About: What sets myself and my partner David apart is the genuine love, experience, and daily presence we offer every pet we care for. My partner and I work from home daily which means your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We share our home with our friendly energetic 1.5-year-old Doberman, who loves making new friends, and we've both had pets our entire lives. We tailor care to their unique needs and personality. With us, your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll be loved. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. I work remotely full-time, and my husband David works hybrid, which means me of us will always be home and available throughout the day to give pets the attention, love, and care they need. We love having animals around and enjoy including them in our daily lives—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing together. With our playful 1.5-year-old Doberman and a lifetime of experience caring for pets. We create a calm, consistent environment they can feel safe in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Our neighborhood is quiet and perfect for daily walks, and there’s a dog park just half a mile away for pups who love to play and socialize. Our own dog—a friendly and playful 1.5-year-old Doberman—loves having company and gets along well with others. You can trust that your dog will be cared for in a loving home where they’ll feel safe, engaged, and treated like part of the family.

Zichen was wonderful with my dog. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated throughout the stay and reached out immediately if anything came up. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with my pup. It was clear she took great care of my baby, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Overall, she did a great job, and I would happily book with her again.

I can’t recommend Annalise enough! She has been checking in on my French Bulldog puppy, Prada, while I’m at work, and the experience has been fantastic. As a first-time puppy owner, leaving a young puppy alone was stressful, but they immediately put my mind at ease. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She always sends photos and updates during their visits, which I look forward to and really appreciate throughout the day. Prada absolutely loves them and gets excited when they come by, which tells me everything I need to know about the care and attention she’s receiving. Knowing she is getting potty breaks, playtime, and affection while I’m away has been invaluable. Thank you for taking such great care of Prada. I will gladly be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! All around a genuinely good person and it shows for sure I couldn’t have asked for better!

About: Hey there! I've loved animals my whole life, and I'm excited to get the chance to make friends with your furry loved ones! I'm also the proud parent of a deaf & partially blind dog, plus a feisty cat, so I know how to make sure your pet gets the special attention it deserves. Whether it's a quick check in, a quiet stroll through the neighborhood, or something more adventurous like a nature trail (Eno River is just a quick drive away!), I'm happy to help accommodate all your pet needs. With almost 20 years of customer service experience, I know how important building trust is, especially with pet owners and their furry family members, and I'd love to be the person you reach out to when you need reliable pet care. I work from home and have a good amount of flexibility throughout the day and on weekends. I'm also up before the sun rises on most weekdays if there are any early pet care needs you might have. First and foremost is making sure your pet feels safe and loved - in whatever form that takes! If they're happy and you're happy, then I'm happy.

Will definitely be my go-to sitter! My cats love her (and my corgi has also decided she can be a new best friend), and she took the time to really lovingly care for the kitties. Awesome person, and went above and beyond! (Even vacuumed up some extra kibble my kitties left behind) 100/10, will be hiring again.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always felt a strong connection to them. I’m currently a graduate student in Animal Science, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years and have experience working with cattle, sheep, horses, reptiles, and mice. I’ve also volunteered with animal rescues, fostering and helping animals feel safe and ready for adoption. My experience working on a dairy farm and being closely connected to farm environments through my family’s ranch has given me hands-on experience caring for many species beyond just dogs and cats. I’m comfortable in a wide range of situations, from energetic puppies to shy pets that need extra patience. I follow routines closely, can give medications, and pay attention to small changes in behavior to help keep pets safe and healthy. I also enjoy playtime and can reinforce basic training when it’s part of their routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every pet as what they are—family—and believe they deserve care, respect, and attention. I’m currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs. Please feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’m happy to work with your schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for and at ease. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so nothing feels disrupted. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, including medications if needed. I treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going well.

Maryam and Faadhil took wonderful care of my two pets. They both have special dietary and medication needs, which makes it hard to find a sitter, and I appreciate how thoughtful they both were about ensuring both cats were taken care of. My anxious cat even emerged during their visits, which never happens. I would definitely book with them again.
