She gave our dog her medicine each day and all around was just absolutely wonderful, would recommend Kristen for anyone needing a pet sitter. She is the best!”

“Absolutely love leaving my dogs with Natalie because I know they will be happy and well cared for. She takes so many great pictures and sends frequent updates so you never have to wonder how they are and you can enjoy your time away. I’m sure my babies can’t wait to see her again!”

“Mae was absolutely incredible!! She went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our dogs were happy, cared for, and comfortable! She spent a great amount of time playing with our dogs and she also had excellent communication with sending us updates and pictures while we were away! Mae stayed in our home overnight for a couple nights to watch our dogs and she was extremely respectful of our home as well!! We have now found our go-to person with Mae and we (and our pups) 🐶 couldn’t be happier!”

Ive been doing dog sitting on the side for the last year or two. I have a big backyard for them to run around play. I send pics and videos daily!

I’m never gone for more than two hours. I do feed my dogs and guest dogs separately. I also do prior meet and greets to see if our dogs and I are a good fit. I do kennels, baby gates for separation and feed separately and walk separately. For clients home, I do what the client ask of me. I make sure your pets are safe as that’s my first priority.

“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He was attentive and communicated frequently with me. I never had to worry about my pup while I was away. My pup was so happy and I could tell he had a great time with Taylor! I would definitely recommend Taylor!”

“Rachel did an amazing job with my dogs and keeping me updated on how they were while we were out of town. As someone that’s never left my dogs or used a service like this before, Rachel made this experience so easy for all of us!!”

About: Excellent, caring and thoughtful pet sitting. Qualified in all areas to fit your needs when you need a sitter. I also do pet walking as well! Will cater to all of your needs per animals description. I have a flexible schedule in which allows me to dog walk and pet sit. I work remotely. Which makes it easier for availability for pet care. I believe the best way to care for someone's pet is to find out what they need individually. I will come into the clients home. If the pet is small enough, I could pet sit in our home.

“Taylor was super friendly and communicative/responsive while watching Osa. Along with this she was very respectful of my space and left things just as she found them. Will definitely book her again for future sittings and would recommend to my friends!”

Timothy W.

“Karen was super responsive and attentive while house sitting for our older Rhodesian Ridgeback! He’s very picky about who he allows around him - we introduced him to a few sitters before he was immediately comfortable with Karen. She’s a pet whisperer. During our long weekend, we got plenty of photos and texts, and felt very comfortable that our animals and house were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again!l”

About: I will go the extra mile to make sure your pup is well loved, hydrated, fed, and exercised. I am new to the area and am eager to explore with a furry friend that I cannot financially support currently, so I will love and care for it like my own. I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.

About: Experience with senior dogs, dogs going through cancer treatment, rescues & fosters. I grew up with dogs most of my life, mostly through adoption/rescue. I've fostered a couple of dogs in the past as well. I love dogs of all types and sizes. I recently had this incredible black lab named Layla who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. While I trained her how to do basic things like sit, stay, etc., I also trained her how to "throw hands", to back up when I say "BEEP BEEP BEEP", and to stay out of the kitchen (because she was ALWAYS in the way). She also had amazing recall and could hike trails off leash. She knew the differences between her toys and knew people by their names. If I said, "Where's your shark?" she would find her shark toy and bring it to me. She was the best and I miss her dearly. I currently live with family friends who have two dogs (one of which is a foster dog) and two cats that I help out with everyday. I also help my friends walk their dogs when they need the extra help. I'm not a professional dog trainer, but I've hired trainers before to help with the dogs I've owned. That said, I'm not ready to adopt again, but would love to spend time with other people's dogs in the meantime. I know what it's like needing help watching your fur babies and I was lucky to have an incredible support system to assist with Layla when she was alive. I'd like to return the favor. Thanks! I currently work from home part-time. My hours are very flexible. I do have calls throughout the week, so as long as I can continue doing my work calls, I can fit most things within my schedule. The dogs I take care of now have a fenced-in back yard so I let them out multiple times throughout the day. It's been very hot this summer so I try not to keep them out for more than 15-20 mins depending on the time of day. When I had Layla, we'd go on two walks a day and would also go hiking and to the dog beach. She was crate trained.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phenomenal Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough amazing things about McKenna. From start to finish, she went above and beyond taking care of my pup, Roscoe . I felt totally at ease while I was away—she sent regular updates, adorable photos, and truly treated Roscoe like her own. When I came home, he was happy, calm, and clearly had been well loved and cared for. The attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for animals truly stood out. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and absolutely wonderful—book her. I’ll definitely be using her again!!!”

“Summer was nice, considerate of my home. She was kind with my furry friend. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I own 2 French Bulldogs, and have owned dogs all my life. I have had a Boxer and Labs in the past so I am familiar with big dogs as well. I am also a cat lover as I have had cats in the past. I am a patient person, and I will put the needs of your pets first. I will send you updates, pictures, and videos of your fur baby throughout the day. I am a stay at home pet mom and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love that they need. I will walk your dog at least 5x a day. I will never leave your dog unattended. I will use positive reinforcement and always reward your pet for good behavior. But most of all, give them lots of love, and belly rubs.

About: Hi, I’m Aileen! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two Aussiedoodles who are both 7 years old. They’ve taught me everything about caring for smart, active dogs—and how important it is to give them love, structure, and attention. I also have experience with cats! I recently helped care for my friend’s cat, including taking them to the vet and applying eye ointment. I know that cats need a gentle touch and lots of patience, especially when they’re not feeling their best. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or administering medications, I’ll make sure your kitty is well taken care of. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, or both—and I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I’m not currently working so I am very available to take care of furry friends of all types and sizes. Five more words needed to submit I will comply with all directions given and be sure that all pets are safe. I encourage owners to review video footage to ensure they know I’m doing exactly as they asked.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my proactive, personalized approach to care, combined with a genuine passion for every animal's well-being. While many sitters offer basic feeding and walks, I focus on creating a stress-free and enriching environment that caters to each pet's individual needs. I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. It began with our dogs and has expanded to cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, etc. as we my family purchased a farm. Hi. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. The times I am available are from 10AM-11:30AM and 1:30PM-6:30PM. Let me know what works for you. My experience with puppies allows me to seamlessly continue any ongoing house-training or basic obedience work, ensuring consistency during their critical developmental stage. I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, helping to reinforce good behaviors and prevent common puppy pitfalls like nipping or jumping. This means your new furry family member won't miss a beat in their learning while you're away. Furthermore, my dedication to senior pet care is a significant differentiator. I understand the unique requirements of older animals, from administering medications (excluding injections) to providing gentle exercise and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. I'm patient and attentive, ensuring their comfort and maintaining their routine with the utmost sensitivity. I'm also comfortable with mobility assistance and can adapt to any specific health needs your senior pet may have. Beyond these specialized skills, I offer: Proactive Communication: You'll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you always feel connected to your pet and have complete peace of mind. I'm quick to communicate any concerns or observations. A Deep Understanding of Animal Behavior: My background has given me insight into reading pet body language, understanding their cues, and responding appropriately, which helps prevent issues and builds a stronger bond. Exceptional Reliability and Trustworthiness: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring everything is secure and well-maintained. In essence, I don't just watch pets; I become a temporary, loving extension of your family, dedicated to their happiness, health, and continued well-being.
