About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits. I’m currently available to do walks or pet visits in the evening where I can then on a walk or even go to the park and play. I am also available to do boarding, walks, and home visits all day on Fridays and Sundays. I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.

“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”

“Elizabeth is great!! Very communicative, and attentive of my pup. Very sweet and respectful of our space as well. From one pup parent to another, we’d definitely recommend her!”

“Kelly is exactly what we hoped to find when looking for a dog sitter. She is responsible, good communicator, keeping us in loop with timing/coming and goings, sending pics and letting us know how things are going when we are away, good with our fur babies, and kept our home in good shape while we were gone. Kelly is awesome!”

About: Hi my name is Joseph! I grew up in a veterinary hospital being surrounded by all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I have 7+ years of pet sitting experience for NC State Vet Students and Faculty and currently work for a dog boarding and daycare facility in the Noda area. My background has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, enrichment, and providing attentive compassionate care for every pet. I’m currently working Monday - Friday between 7am-11am (break) 2:30-7pm. On Saturday/Sunday the hours move around alittle but I remain to have a 3-4 hour mid day break for the opportunity to have midday checkups/care. My usual Check-in times when pet sitting have been 10-30 minutes before 6:30-7, 20-40 minutes between 11:30-2, and 20-30 minutes after 7:30. Depending on age, temper and health of the dog the visits can be rearranged for later or earlier visits if needed. With the circumstances of my apartment complex, I do in-house visit of my client instead of having the dog at my home. When arriving at my clients home, I like to first take the dog outside and make sure they use the bathroom. I will update the owner immediately if I see any issues with the pets stool (ie. Blood, Diarrhea, etc). After I like to feed depending on instructed time, or if no meal/ walk the dog around the owners yard or complex if possible. Before leaving I always make sure there is plenty of water and that at least one happy photo. Willing to administer medications in pill form. Also, will always follow clients instructions to a avoid any confusion or accidents.

“Mackenzie is amazing! She’s reliable, kind, and genuinely cares about our dog. Pippy absolutely adores her. I really appreciate all the photos and updates she sends, and how flexible and available she always is. Highly recommend!”

“Tre has become like family. He is always available to take care of Dax when I need and treats him as if he was his own. He’s very personable, responsible, reliable, accommodating to my crazy schedule and he will definitely continue to be my go-to.”

About: I have 19 years experience owning cats and 5 years experience caring for dogs. A lifelong animal lover I have been pet sitting for many years. It is the perfect job where you get all the fun of having a pet with none of the financial responsibility. My family of four in total owns 7 cats and one dog and I love getting to hangout with and watch my fur nieces and nephews. I work a regular 8-5 in the office in the University City area Monday- Thursday, and remotely in the Optimist Park area on Fridays. Happy to drop by mornings and evenings anywhere and afternoons in the University City area I always make sure to respect the animals and their space. I love an enthusiastic high energy pet, but also enjoy the calmness and tiny victories of love from shyer more reserved pets.

About: I am so excited to help out with your fur babies! I grew up on a farm and both of my parents are veterinarians so our pets were always the most important part of our day! I have experience taking care of small, medium, and large (and extra large) dog breeds. I currently have my own 4 year old golden retriever and a 6 year old kitty. They are family to me! I am a full time PA student. I am mostly available in the afternoons and on weekends. Everyday is a little different with varying availability. On typical week I am free Friday-Sunday all day, Monday-Thursday in the evenings. I will mainly be available for drop-ins and dog walks. I have a dog and a cat at home so I will not be housing any pets in my home. I am very clean, respectful and honest!

“Elizabeth was very accommodating and followed all directions. She was very kind and sent several pictures! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Lindsey was so good with Bruce. We are sad she is moving away from our area but wherever she goes she will be a pawsitive impact on the animals around her.”

Joel Faye P.

“This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.”
