We have a large yard with plenty of space to run and do their business. We have 1 dog and 2 cats who love friends and company. My dog is trained and loves to have fun!

“We loved Bethany!! We needed a last minute long term sitter for our two young cats- Bethany was so friendly and professional and made us feel comfortable right away. She was extremely responsive, helpful, and clearly loved for our cats- when we arrived home things clearly had been taken care of and the cats were very happy! Highly recommended! Thank you Bethany!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13. Making sure they are well taken care of and loved! Medication is no problem for me! I currently work full time as a restaurant manager. However, I just received my NC Board certification for EMT so I’m in the process of a career change where my schedule will be opening up. Making sure every animal I watch always feels loved and will never be forgotten. Playing with them and going on walks is very important to me! So is taking care of the home, I respect other peoples homes with respect as if it were my own home.
About: I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. My background includes working in veterinary clinics, board and train programs, and in-home pet sitting. I’m trained to handle everything from basic care to behavioral needs, and I always prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness like they’re my own. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week. My shifts are only about 5 hours long, so I have plenty of time to let your furry friends out right before and right after work to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m currently working on installing a fence at my home, which will allow me to offer doggy daycare services soon. In the meantime, I’m happy to walk each pupper individually. With 3 acres of land, there’s plenty of space for your dogs to run, explore, and play safely!

I don’t plan on doing in home services as I travel for work and I have two dogs of my own, but I am looking forward to walks/drop ins!
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, and horses particularly. I have lots of experience caring for all ages, I love all breeds. I also can care for puppies or kittens, give medications, and handle all shapes and sizes. I've worked in dog and cat boarding for a year and currently work in dog and cat rescue. I work 4 days a week, usually 9 hour shifts. I don't always have weekends off, my schedule is spread throughout the week. Normally I will have Sundays and Mondays off work and am able to come visit your pets more often throughout the day than on days that I work. However, I can sit overnights, walk dogs in my time off, and possibly visit at lunchtime if close enough to my work. I enjoy spending time with pets in their homes, keeping them company while their humans are away. I love to walk, sit outside with them, snuggle, and am perfectly happy to look after mail and houseplants and things like that as well.
About: I run my own farm so I know a thing or two about responsibility & care when it comes to animals. My pets are family to me and while you’re away I’ll be sure to love and care for your babies the exact way you’d like me to! Thanks for considering me. Caring for animals is my life as I operate my own farm. My husband and I have 2 dogs and a cat as well as livestock, so I am very experienced with all sorts of animals and have owned many of these wonderful creatures my entire life! Farming is part time, the rest of my time I’d dedicate to your pets. Leave me specific details to follow and I will treat your furry friend like family. I can visit your home, go for walks, brush, hang out, play, whatever is their favorite routine!
About: I’ve always been around pets as they have always given me a sense of purpose. The unconditional love they give is unmatched in the world we live in. The feeling I get to watch the wag of a tail or the purrrrr of a kitty is satisfying and fulfilling. Being an empty nest mom to my puppies is awesome. Knowing that we all have lives, yet want the best for our fur babies is where I found my niche. Giving them what you want to give them but can’t because of responsibilities is where I am able to make a difference for YOU and them. It’s enjoyment for me and piece of mind for you knowing that they are getting the BEST care and attention when you can’t be there As mentioned, being an empty nester and not having nearly as much mom related responsibilities, caring for pets is an everyday desire. I am flexible and available most times. I do not however embark in overnight sitting I will care for pets as if they are MY OWN and to the guidelines of the pet owner. My pets are disciplined and love to play and cuddle. I’ll care for all fur babies the same way as I do my own.

Kaitlyn G.
“I have a 6 year old german shepard/husky who adores spending time with Kaitlyn. When I go on vacation my dog looks forward to her play dates and walks with Kaitlyn. She is a passionate animal caretaker that I can always rely upon and trust completely!”
Breanna N.
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Breanna and the care she provided for our dog, Salem. As any dog parent knows, leaving your fur baby with someone else—especially for the first time—can be nerve-wracking. Salem is a 1-year-old Golden Doodle with lots of energy, a bit of separation anxiety, and very specific routines, so I was worried about how she would handle being away from us. From the very beginning, Breanna went out of her way to make sure we were both comfortable. We had a meet-and-greet where she asked thoughtful questions about Salem’s behavior, feeding schedule, and preferences. Right away, I could tell she truly loves and understands dogs—not just as a job, but with genuine care and intuition. Throughout the stay, Breanna kept us updated daily with pictures, videos, and little notes about Salem’s day—whether she chased squirrels on walks, cuddled up for a nap, or finally ate all her dinner. Breanna even took her on an unexpected outing to a dog-friendly park, which she absolutely loved. It was clear she wasn’t just “watching” Salem—Breanna was engaging with her and making her feel safe, happy, and at home. When we returned, Salem was relaxed, well-groomed, and clearly attached to Breanna. She even did her little happy howl when she saw her again a week later! That kind of trust and comfort doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of someone who truly goes above and beyond. I would 100% recommend Breanna to anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family. We’ll never use anyone else!”
