About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life growing up. I love every animal, and am very excited to get the opportunity to meet yours! I am currently a full time college student. I am dual enrolled in two colleges! I have a very flexible schedule, and can take last minute appointments if needed! I will care for your furbabies as if they were my own. I will take as much time as I need to make sure your animal is happy and safe!
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes. I can provide house sitting, light housekeeping, and pet care including dog walking. I would love to work with you to meet your needs and ensure your beloved pets and your home are safely cared for. I have a full time job in the mental health field. However, I am able to work remotely part of the time, giving me additional flexibility when providing pet and house sitting. I am available to stay at your house while pet and house sitting, or to drop in to provide pet care if preferred. I am a quick learner and will follow all protocols asked of me.
“Whitney did a great job looking after our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was communicative and sent a bunch of pics. Would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much for all you did! ❤️ I'm glad he was a good boy. Feel free to help work with him on no jumping. He does know sit and stay for when you leave too! I hope he didn't scratch you up or make bruises, he didn't mean to if he did.”
About: I grew up with dogs; we got our first dog when I was 10 years old, and ever since, our household always had at least one or more dogs. My first own dog, a white German Shepherd named Ziva, joined me 11 years ago. I adore dogs; I love everything about them. I enjoy going on walks, cuddling, brushing them, and playing. Whatever a dog needs to be happy, I’m there to provide it with love and care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for other pets. I moved to the U.S. from Germany two and a half years ago, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your beloved pet. That’s why I dedicate myself to giving pet owners peace of mind—so they can travel, go to work, or enjoy time away, knowing their furry family members are safe and loved. When I care for your dog or cat in your home, I tailor the routine to your pet’s needs and your environment. I love taking the dog for walks and, if you have a fenced garden, I enjoy spending time playing there as well. Depending on what’s available, I adapt my care to ensure your pet stays active, happy, and comfortable at home.
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have had the opportunity to work with all types of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, and dogs with a wide range of personalities and individual needs. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s unique routine and temperament. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while ensuring that every dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Over the years, customers have greatly enjoyed my services and appreciated my friendly, caring, and likable personality. I have built positive relationships with both dogs and their owners, earning trust through reliable care and genuine compassion for animals. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I work full time but dont work a typical 9-5 so Im very flexible and able to work around most schedules. And rarely take vacations so weekends are typically open. I have a great dane who wants to be freinds with anything with 4 legs and definitely two legs. Hes not territorial or aggressive. So keeping your pet here would be a fun time for everyone. Back yard is not fenced so your dog would always be on a leash. But we would go for walks pending your approval as I live in a perfect neighborhood for walking.
About: Having cared for my own pets, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to learn their personality and follow their usual routine, from meals and walks to playtime and quiet company. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll give them attentive care and plenty of affection. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work from home running my own business, and I plan pet care around my work commitments. Before each booking, we’ll agree on a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, including meals, walks, bathroom breaks, and time for attention and play. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before we begin. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep dogs leashed on walks, and check that doors and gates are secure. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space and leave things as I found them. You’ll receive photos and updates, and I’ll contact you promptly with any concerns.
About: I’m a pediatric ICU nurse who brings the same compassion and reliability to pet care. I have baseline experience taking care of my own cats as well as my friends' dogs. I can easily follow specific feeding instructions to keep your pets' diet consistent and potty-walks are a breeze! Due to my own cats medication routine and my nursing career, I know how important medication timing is, if you pet needs any routine medications while I care for them you can be rest assured that it will get done, and get done right! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby with someone else. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I have a flexible nightshift schedule that allows me to have more opportunities to take care of your furbaby. Being a nurse, I only work a few nights a week and can be available in and out of typical working hours to provide your pet care and attention! I will be available almost any day of the week for single or multiple daily check-ins, potty walks, zoomie-releasing play sessions in gated areas or carefully in your home, scheduled feedings and more! I live on the cusp of Knightdale, so commuting to the Triangle is not a problem, even for checking in every few hours. In their home, your pet probably feels most comfortable! I can provide them lots of fun and safe interactions while you are away, making sure they don't feel lonely as they wait for you to come back home! I'll always be sure to stay in the same room with them, you never know what kind of mischief they can get into if left to their own devices unsupervised! Breaking into the treat drawer won't fly under my radar! If your pet needs to stay at my apartment for any reason, I am on the first floor, so no stairs needed if that is a struggle for your pet. I do own two shy but friendly cats, but my apartment has enough space that they can be put in a separate room for a portion of the day while your kiddo and I hang out! We will probably just sit together on my couch while I read or watch TV together, nothing too loud that would cause any stress.
About: While i love my fur babies, i have had a range of experience with all things such as reptiles, farm animals, fish, bunnies and even a spider or two! 🕷️🦎🐓🦆🐄🐎🐢🐠🐈🐕🐇🦜 I work full time 4 days a week but can always drop in before/after my shifts & of course anytime during my weekend! While sometimes my wife is away sitting, I’m at home with our babies. 🐾 I really go all out for my fur babies (spoiled rotten)🫢🤗 So you can expect me to take the best care of your fur babies & treat them as they are my own.🖤
“Liz has been a great find for my dogs and I. My schedule is always changing, and I can call Liz in a pinch for help. My dogs are happy and content when I get home from work. Thanks Liz.”
About: I have had the joy of pet sitting since I was a student in high school! I had clients within the community, friends, family, and even some of my own teachers. I have over 1,500 hours in animal/veterinary experience and worked with everything from cuddly kittens, dairy cows, and various species of birds! I am currently a full time student( soon to be on summer break). I am available for drop in's every 6-8 hours throughout the weekday. I am available for overnight stays everyday of the week! Walking hours are more readily available on the weekends. Because I have a furry friend of my own in would be in your pets best interest for me to watch them where they are already comfortable. I treat everyones pet with the upmost respect, love, and care because I know what it means to leave your pet in someone else's hands. I have an open communication work-style and do everything in the best interest of my client and their pet.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, and cats for 4 years now. I love and care for each animal as if they are my own because I know how important a pet is to their family. I also respect all the rules given by their owners and make sure I’m following exact instructions. I also volunteered on a farm for a while as a young child and grew up taking care of my family’s chickens so animal care is something that has always been a part of my life. I am just graduated from school and getting my priorities straight so I have a very flexible schedule. When I’m working other jobs, they’re in the evenings and in my control as for scheduling and time so if there are specific needs for your pets around certain times, I can accommodate. I pet sit and homes and follow all rules that are given for me. I treat your space and your pets space with full respect and make sure I take care of it even better than my own space.
About: I’ve previously been a dog trainer, and have worked at several daycare/pet-centered places. Dogs are my absolute joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! My work schedule is a bit up in the air right now, but I’ll do everything I can to ensure your pup is comfortable while you’re away. I make sure dogs go out frequently to potty, whether that be a quick walk on the leash, or letting them out in the backyard. Meals are given per instructions left for me, and playtime will definitely happen, if that’s something they enjoy. Otherwise, we can snuggle up.
“Jacob was friendly and prompt in all communications. My pup is very shy with new people and he was patient and kind to him in his walks. He sent photos daily and I look forward to working with Jacob again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I could remember I’m constantly told that I have a vibe that dogs love. I use to take care of an elderly dog for a family friend and I enjoyed it so much. So why not help others with their dogs! I’m a stay at home mom which means I have tons of free time for all dog needs and wants and even healthy conditions and tons of love I have a large dog park right next to my complex that hardly many dogs go to and even has some training equipment inside for extra exercise
About: I'm studying to become a zoologist and I love every kind of animal and I will care for any kind of pet you have not just cats and dogs. Monday-Saturday, 6:00am-11:00pm. I want pet sitting to be my full-time job. I used to work at PetSmart but I enjoy pet sitting more. 🐕🐈⬛🐇🦎🐁 🦜🐛🕷️🐌🦗 🦀🫏🐜🐟🐠 I would care for your pet(s) in your home. (So I might offer boarding later on). I can feed, give water, play with them, walk them, take them potty, change litter boxes, change cage linings, clean up after them if they poop in a cage, it depends on what kind of pet you have. I have experience with caring for many kinds of animals.
“Alissa was very attentive to our two labs. She shows up on time, is very pleasent to work with. She clearly loves dogs and our boys were excited tosee her arrive. We trusted Alissa with our home and dogs without hesitation.”
About: Welcome to your pet’s home away from home 💛 Hi there! We’re a fun-loving, animal-obsessed couple who believe life is simply better with paws, tails, and a little bit of fur on everything. We moved from Colorado a few years ago, where we had the joy of hosting all kinds of animals—big, small, shy, energetic—you name it, we’ve loved it! Both of us grew up on farms in the Midwest, so caring for animals has always been second nature and one of our favorite things to do. These days, we both work from home during the week, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and snuggles all day long. Our home is very much a pet-first household—around here, animals run the show! Whether your pet loves curling up on the couch, stretching out in bed, or following us around all day, they’re welcome to make themselves completely at home. No strict rules here—just lots of love, comfort, and flexibility. We also have a super friendly pup who absolutely loves making new friends and gets along great with other animals. Daily life includes walks around the neighborhood, and the occasional trip to the dog park for extra zoomies. We’re very laid-back and flexible with schedules—whatever works best for you and your pet, works for us! Our goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease while your furry family member is safe, happy, and spoiled. We can’t wait to meet you and your pet—and give them all the love they deserve! 🐾 I currently am working remote so 3 - 4 long walks is my current routine. I live close to numerous trails so you can count on your pup always getting the best outdoor experience while he/ she is with me. I have one very friendly dog who loves to play, I am always home to keep an eye on him and any other friends we have at the time. I am very diligent in my care because I know I would expect the same of someone watching my guy, you can always be sure that in my care your fur baby will get lots of love and attention… and treats of course.

Amy has been wonderful to work with ! She was very communicative before and after the visits which was much appreciated. She is very kind and I can tell that my dog is in good hands with her. I will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for someone to care for their dog!
Brian was amazing this week as always. We are so grateful for Brian every week when we need to go in to the office. Brian takes such great care of our girls and makes sure they have everything they need and lots of love while we are away. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our girls and we're so glad they adore their time with Brian
