About: Professional Dog Trainer & Pet Care Specialist | Safe, Structured, Reliable ⸻ About Me With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a level of knowledge and structure that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. My background includes: • Veterinary medicine • Professional dog training • Boarding facilities • Rescue & shelter work I am a full-time dog trainer and pet care provider, recently relocated from Washington State to North Carolina to continue growing my career and offering high-quality, reliable care. Dogs in my care benefit from a structured, safe, and enriching environment. I pride myself on not just supervision, but true understanding of behavior, communication, and needs. Whether your dog is easygoing or has behavioral challenges, they will be handled with confidence, clarity, and care. ⸻ My Property & Setup Your dog will stay on a private 2.5-acre property designed for safety and structure. What sets my care apart: • Escape-proof, secure environment • Crash-tested crates for safety and comfort • Outdoor kennel runs for fresh air and downtime • Climate-controlled kennel building • 24/7 video + temperature monitoring • Strict daily sanitation protocols • Individual walks and/or structured group play • 🐶 Dog pool coming Summer 2027 This is not a chaotic daycare - it’s a controlled, professional environment tailored to each dog. ⸻ Experience with Behavior Unlike most sitters, I am experienced in handling dogs with: • Anxiety • Reactivity • Dog aggression • Human-directed behaviors • Resource guarding (food/toys) Safety is always the priority for your dog, other dogs, and myself. ⸻ Care & Supervision • Dogs are always supervised when out • When supervision isn’t possible, dogs are safely secured in a crate or kennel run • Structured routines help reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors 👉 All dogs must be crate trained to ensure comfort and safety during their stay. ⸻ Policies • Drop-off & pick-up by appointment only • 🚗 “Pet Taxi” (door-to-door transport) available weekdays only • Clear communication and punctuality are expected and appreciated ⸻ Meet & Greets To set dogs up for success, I have a structured meet-and-greet policy: ✔️ In some cases, owners may visit the property to view the setup ❌ We do not allow dog introductions while owners are present Why this matters: • Dogs are more likely to have altercations when over-aroused by their owner’s presence • Some dogs become protective or possessive • Owner anxiety can unintentionally impact the dog’s behavior This approach allows me to introduce dogs calmly, safely, and professionally. ⸻ Best fit for: • Owners who value structure and safety • Dogs who need clear boundaries and routine • Dogs who may not thrive in chaotic daycare environments ⸻ I treat every dog as an individual and prioritize safety, structure, and clarity in everything I do. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter—someone who truly understands dogs and provides a secure, professional environment—I’d love to work with you. 📩 Send a message to discuss your dog’s needs and see if we’re a good fit! Feeding times are available up to three times a day. Pups spend most of their time playing together out and about on the property, with short naps throughout the day in their kennels to allow for appointments and cleaning! All dogs are crated whenever unsupervised. As long as a human is available, the dogs are welcome to hang out about the property, in a kennel run, or chilling in the house. All kennels, crates, yards, bedding, etc are sanitized in between clients.

About: I have cared for all different types of animals since I was 7 years old. I have a solid background in behavioral psychology, dealing with challenging behavior, and training puppies. I love every minute that I get to spend with animals! My schedule is pretty flexible and I am happy to work with you. I will do my very best to accommodate you and your pet. The health and safety of your pet is my number one priority. I will also maintain their routine, environment, and preferences so they are happy and comfortable!

“Cynthia is very patient with Kwame as he can be a handful. As I work externally and my daughter works at home this walk has really helped Kwame. Thank you Cynthia”

About: Hey there, My name is hannah but most people just call me Harlie. Im a part time stay at home dog mom and trainer. I love dedicating my time to pampering your dogs. Ive been a dog trainer and service dog handler for 10 years and grew up Raising and training hunting dogs. My goal is to treat your pets as i would my own pets. (who are spoiled rotten but dont tell them that) I specialize in dogs with seperation anxiety and behavorial issues. Im available thru the week and the weekends. Your pet will have a ball staying with me. I will make sure your pet has the most fun and comes back to you tired, happy and well mannered. Drop offs and pickups 7 days a week. If im gone I have 24/7 camera monitoring in my kennel area so I can always see and hear what's going on. When im home outdoor games and interactive puzzles and treats will fill your pups mental and physical needs. I have a beautiful fenced in back yard, grooming facilities, training room, and more. Your pet will get everything they need and want while here. Everything is tailored to each individual dog based on their needs. While I do provide kennels if your pet is nervous or never boarded before id highly suggest bringing their own Kennels. Any damage done to my kennels will encur a fee and no repeat bookings unless the dog comes with anxiety medications upon next booking and you'll be required to provide your own kennels after that.

“Nakia was very attentive to Flacka’s needs and went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable to eat and drink while we are away! She really made me comfortable being away from him.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for years, I love animals. I am very reliable and loving I really love all animals. I am able to multitask and also be attentive to your pets i want them to feel happy and safe. I am working part time, would love to care for your animals during the weekdays and I am available for weekends. I am very flexible and willing to work with a schedule that fits your needs. I have a very spacious unfenced back yard but I am able to crate if necessary or have a leash for walks if no fence works. I can always let your little fur baby play happily and secure.

About: With over five years of hands-on experience in animal care and kennel work, I’m passionate about providing the best for our furry friends. Currently, I work at a veterinary office, where I continue to deepen my knowledge and skills. I'm always on the lookout for training opportunities to enhance my expertise and ensure every pet receives top-notch care. I truly believe that a happy pet makes for a happy owner, and I’m dedicated to making that happen! I maintain a flexible work schedule, allowing me to ensure that pets are let out a minimum of three times a day—or more as needed. I am dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care to meet each pet's individual needs. Based on my experience, I prioritize caring for pets in the safety of their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. This environment not only reduces stress but also fosters a sense of trust. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of each pet and am always ready to adapt my services to meet their needs, providing reliable support tailored to each client’s preferences.

About: I will offer the best dog sitting and walking you can get. I have three dogs of my own and they love going on walks daily! Your doggies will be in great hands and I’ll treat them as mine! I have a huge passion for caring for animals in general. I am very energetic and love playing with dogs. I do not have professional experience but would love to start out doing this and hopefully making a career out of it! I understand how important it is for animals to get their exercise and it is necessary for us to live a long life. Let me keep your dogs in shape and love your babies. God bless you! Thank you for your time and consideration. I’m currently working part time cleaning houses and would have plenty of time to care for your animals. I could come as needed to take care of your fur babies. I have chickens and dogs and make sure they are fed and watered daily. My dogs get walked every other day, I try to keep them active.

About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, reliable care for all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention and support. My wife is my partner and helps me with dog sitting Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, allowing me to dedicate focused, quality time to each animal. I create a flexible schedule that accommodates pets’ unique needs, ensuring they receive consistent, attentive care throughout the week.

Whether at my home or theirs, I ensure pets feel secure, loved, and engaged, treating them as part of my family.

About: I grew up taking care of pet dogs and cats -- often at the same time! From raising tabbies to keeping up with an active husky, I've gained diverse experience in caring for furry personalities. I typically work full-time during the school year, keeping a more flexible schedule during breaks. I'm available for boarding weekdays starting at 11am (after 6pm during school months), weekends starting 12pm. While I'm home, your pet is welcome to roam around or hunker down where they feel most comfortable. They can sleep/rest safely in my room as well. I will work to accommodate any specific care.

About: I have over thirty years of experience working with animals in various aspects; including pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavioral modifications (training classes with my own dogs), and rescue work. I obtained my bachelors degree in Animal Science as well as hold a MS degree. I have experience with companion animal medical issues and am comfortable administering medications, including injections, oral meds, subcutaneous fluid administration, etc, and assisting in surgical recoveries (minor to major, including orthopedic recoveries and rehab). I also have extensive experience working with senior and special-need dogs and cats. Three of my own dogs had heart conditions, and two of those also have a history of seizures. I pay close attention to my dogs' diets and am a supporter of proper canine nutrition and supplements. I am a mom to three amazing animal-savvy daughters, and am the North Carolina Rescue Coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I have 4 of my own dogs. We welcome boarders and foster dogs into our home frequently, so my kids and dogs are used to new furry friends coming to stay with us, and always welcome them! We treat our boarders just like we treat our own dogs. We have a secured covered deck, attached to a fenced in yard. It’s quite an oasis for our dogs to enjoy while they’re outside with us. I also offer minor grooming services such as baths, nail trims, anal gland expression, brushing of teeth, ear cleaning, and feet and facial hair trims. I do ask that if your dog is coming to my home, that he/she is good around children and other dogs, housetrained (unless it’s a puppy), current on vaccines or proof of adequate titer levels, and on heartworm and flea prevention. Males need to be neutered and females need to be spayed or not in heat during boarding. I do require a meet and greet before allowing your dog to stay, to ensure we are a good fit for your pup and your pup for us. I also require your dog to be crate trained, as this is best for your dog's safety during moments that I need to be away from the home. You will need to provide his/her food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off can only occur between 8:30-5 and must be scheduled in advance. I'm home most of the time and if I do need to be gone, it's never more than 1-2 hours at a time. All boarders are treated like members of our family. They are allowed everywhere we go in the home, on furniture, etc. For this reason, I do not accept dogs from multiple families at the same time. We do have baby gates in appropriate areas, to prevent dogs from escaping out doors, going upstairs unsupervised, etc. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dogs and children. When I do need to leave, it’s never for extended periods. I’m available midday each day, for walks and drop-in visits for cats, farm animals, etc. We have a fenced yard, gates throughout the house, and deadbolt all doors to ensure we take extra time to secure dogs before entering and exiting.

About: As a young girl I've always had a fondness for animals. I would beg to have a dog until I finally got one. Pepper. Then later Betsy. I've had guinea pigs and rabbits. A rat and mice. Hamsters and chinchillas. I loved them all. I have been around farm animals quite a bit. I'm in love with horses and could even provide care for farm animals. In high school I started working at the vet clinic that at the time offered boarding services. I did that for a short time. In that time I have dog/house sat for family friends. Now in more recent years I've dog sat and currently work for a boarding business. I have been there a full year now and I love it. It is part time hours and would like something extra that still involves animals. Dog walks and care are not a problem for me. I would love to help anyone with their precious pups. I'm also trying to advance in trade skills and become a dog trainer.

About: I can’t remember a time that I haven’t had animals in my life, I’ve loved and taken care of dogs of all sizes, cats, hamsters, and now even goats! I hope to one day become a vet assistant and hopefully the experience of pet sitting can help me achieve this dream! I’m incredibly flexible with my schedule and can look after your beloved pets whenever needed! I currently work as an Uber eats driver part time, this means my schedule is incredibly open 24/7, I can pet sit whenever I’m needed! I can’t provide boarding services, but I have a fenced area where my dog and two goats live! My cat is free to come and go inside or outside whenever he pleases, we keep a little box for him outside so he can stay nice and comfy! If you need me to bring a crate or my own pet supplies then let me know and I can provide!

About: I have a wide range of knowledge on different cat breeds as well as dog breeds. I’ve owned multiple breeds and helped raised them since I was very young. I have a husky myself so I know how to handle those sassy pups! I currently work full time, however 75% of my work is work from home. I also mostly work graveyard shifts so I have all day most days to play with/walk/take care of the pups! My dog is both indoor and out door kennel trained. He is very friendly with other dogs (gets a little over excited and loves to play!) he free roams at bedtime but if you’re more comfortable with your pet being in a kennel at night I have room if you would like me to use yours or I have extra kennels (size large)(size medium) my yard is not fenced in but I can take them on many walks around my neighborhood.

About: Hey!!! Thanks for checking out my profile. I am a sweet pet lover looking to help out with your four legged kids. I know how important our animals are, so my goal is to treat your pets and love on them just like I do mine. I love to take them for walks, play, and give those extra snuggles. I have 10 plus years of experience and would love to learn more about your pet, their preferences and their unique personality! I am comfortable providing overnight care as well as daily drop in services. Again, let me take care of your fur baby so you don’t have to worry about them while you are at work or on a great vacation! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
