“Kristyn is awesome. Very communicative and flexible! She made sure that my dog was comfortable the whole time and sent lots of pictures.”

About: Hi! My name is Phinette! Growing up, I have always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I had three small dogs who I am so grateful I got to grow up with until they were in their late teens. My family rescued our current pit bull mix, Oakley, 6 years ago, who is now reaching his elderly years, as well as six cats! I truly love seeing the different personalities in each animal and finding out what makes them unique. I am great with high energy dogs including puppies, love being active, so I would love to help get their energy out with walks/runs! I am currently a Physical Therapist Assistant student and attend school Monday–Thursday, typically from 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. My availability will change throughout October and November, so I’ve outlined my schedule below to make it easier to see when and where I’m available! **House Sitting** **Through October 7:** I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting, especially toward the Chapel Hill/Pittsboro area since I commute there for school. **October 8–26:** I’ll have open availability and can travel to a wider area for house sitting. **October 27–November 20:** I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area from approximately 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so I’ll primarily be looking for house sitting opportunities closer to Angier/Lillington. However, I’m happy to travel farther for longer stays! **After November 20:** I’ll have open availability throughout December and the holidays. **Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits** **Through October 7:** Available Friday–Sunday all day, as well as evenings Monday–Thursday. **October 8–26:** Open availability every day! **October 27–November 20:** Available Monday–Friday in the evenings and Saturday–Sunday all day. I’ll be completing clinicals in the Lillington area during the weekdays, so weekday requests closer to Angier/Lillington are preferred. **After November 20:** Open availability throughout December and the holidays! I know how scary it can be to have someone you don’t know stay in your home and care for your pet. That’s why it’s really important to me to build a relationship and trust with my clients, so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is in your home. I’ll make sure your pet and your home are in the best care possible while you’re away, and I have a feeling your pet and I will become best friends by the time you get back! I absolutely love sending pictures and updates, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re gone! If you’re someone who doesn’t need as many updates, that’s completely fine too. I’m happy to send them as often or as little as you’d like. I also make sure to check my phone regularly while house sitting, so you’ll always be able to reach me if you need anything. I’m someone who actually loves detailed instructions because they help me make sure I’m doing everything exactly how your pet is used to. I want to keep their normal routine as much as possible while you’re away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so you may come home to your house looking a little cleaner than when you left it!

“Would absolutely recommend! She is so pleasant and gentle with our dogs. We have a senior dog and she was so sweet with him. He took right to her! Will definitely use again in the future!”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: We treat every dog like our own! We have 1.3 acres to run and play, lots of space indoors, and our friendly pup Yuki loves having company. We’re happy to stick to your dog’s normal routine and give extra love and patience to puppies, seniors, or any dog that needs a little extra attention. Most importantly, we want your pup to feel safe, happy, and right at home! As someone who is home most of the day, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, plenty of attention, and a routine that closely matches what they're used to at home. I'll also follow feeding schedules carefully and make sure your pet has the space and comfort they need during mealtimes. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I have one dog at home, a huge fully fenced yard with shaded areas, and a secure tie-out for the front yard. I always supervise outdoor time, follow your pet’s routine and care instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

About: I have worked in pet stores and i have also taken care of 2 dogs and 2 cats for about 10 years now. I volunteered at the animal shelter while in college and i love all dogs! i am hoping to make your pup my new best friend🫶🏼 I am an allstar cheerleading coach at night during the week so if you are looking for a dog sitter during the day I’m your girl! I am a huge dog lover!! i have two pitbulls and a black lab!. my favorite thing to do with my babies is cuddle up in bed and watch a movie. i also love going on walks and getting pup cups!

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).

About: I have a wonderful 1 acre backyard that is loved and cherished by all doggies, my own dogs and visiting doggie friends! Lots of wide open spaces for fetching balls or toys! I have a very flexible pet care schedule. I am at home 7 days a week and can board your dog(s) in my home for up to 2 continuous weeks, with advance notice. My backyard is safe, with a large flat open space for all types of dogs. I also have multiple outdoor decks that overlook my backyard and allows me to keep an eye on any doggie shenanigans!

“Amber was amazing with our Elia and Snowball. She stayed in communication with me the entire time I was away. Our two pups adored her and we will be using her again in the near future. If you need an amazing dog walker and sitter, Amber is your lady!! Thank you again, Amber!”

“Evan is great with our dog and is very helpful! I would recommend him for daily walks.”

“Jordan has been so great taking our dog on walks! She is reliable, has great communication, and our dog loves her daily visits and walks. Highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog walker!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 15, providing reliable pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive, loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time, but I am available after work on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I have a flexible schedule during those times and can provide consistent, attentive care to meet your pet’s needs. I genuinely enjoy helping pet owners, especially through drop-in visits while they are away on vacation or need an extra hand. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs. I am confident in reading canine body language and staying attentive to my surroundings to ensure every pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including blind dogs and dogs with food aggression. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and closely following each pet's individual routine and requirements. As the owner of German Shorthaired Pointers, I am very familiar with high-energy breeds and enjoy providing plenty of exercise through walks, runs, playtime, and enrichment activities. I am comfortable keeping active dogs mentally and physically engaged. I also have experience administering oral medications and caring for pets recovering from surgery. Through caring for my own dogs after surgical procedures, I have become familiar with managing bandages, monitoring wounds, using cones, and following recovery instructions to help pets heal safely. I work full-time in Fuquay-Varina with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate many pet care needs throughout the week. For drop-in visits and walks, I am typically available before work, during breaks (for pets located near my office), and in the evenings after work. My days often start early and end later in the evening, giving me additional flexibility compared to a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. On weekends, my availability is much more open, allowing me to spend extended time with your pets rather than just brief visits. I always do my best to work with each pet owner's schedule and ensure their pets receive reliable, attentive care. I am happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I offer drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and companionship while you're away. At this time, I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home. I find that many pets are most comfortable in their own space, and I enjoy providing care where they feel safe and secure. My goal is to ensure your pets receive dependable, loving care and that you have peace of mind while you're away.

“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby.

“Renae was awesome with my 5 year old and took care of our 3 month old puppy! She sent pics of them playing and on walks and went above and beyond with our pupps. I would recommend Renae to anyone. Thank You Ranae”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past 4 years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies during the week. I work full days on Fridays, but outside of that I’m flexible. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love.

About: I've never lived without having a pet. Dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and guinea pigs have brought enormous amounts of joy and love to my life. Each pet still has a special place in my heart, and I care for others pets as if they were my own. Pets are family! I work part-time and would love to meet and care for your pets in my free time! I currently have a puppy and 2 cats of my own. My puppy (Duck) was being rehomed by a family that discovered their son is allergic to dogs, and I couldn't resist his sweet face. My orange cat (Goose) was taken in after my daughter's friend's cat had kittens, and my big black cat (Apache) was adopted from the Right Meow cat cafe in Fuquay. My apartment has a dog park, which i go to 1-2 times a day with my puppy, Duck. I've taught him how to use the agility equipment, and he always loves to play between sniff sessions. My cats are big cuddle babies, but also like their space at times, so their requests for personal space (and treats) is always respected.

“Rissa has been nothing short of amazing with my dogs. She spent plenty of time with the dogs and made sure they got lots of love and attention. I also felt reassured having her as a walker with all the constant updates and pics. She also managed to get our dogs to walk better then they ever have. We will absolutely be using her again”
