Highlights
Pet care experience
Care you can count on
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!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
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!
Ratings and reviews
Phinette is an AMAZING sitter! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog and house. She kept us updated throughout her stay and sent us lots of pictures of our pup! We will 100% be booking Phinette again!!
Phinette was a phenomenal pet sitter for my disabled two legged cat. I left him in her care for 2 weeks and I knew my sweet boy was safe. I got daily updates and photos and she went above and beyond to spend time with him as he gets anxious often. She is truly kind and thoughtful
Ive known Phinette for quite some time, and she has always been a big animal lover! She is very trustworthy and caring, and has great experience with animals!
I’ve known Phinette for a while, and she is genuinely one of the most caring and responsible people I know. She is great with animals and is always very patient and attentive. I’d feel completely comfortable leaving my pets with her and know they’d be well taken care of. I definitely recommend her!

Schedule
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!

- It would be great to know your pet's personality before meeting them! Whether they are high energy or prefer a calmer demeanor, I want to make sure I approach them in a way that makes them feel comfortable. My goal is to build trust with your pet, make a great first impression, and make sure we can have lots of fun while you are gone!
