Highlights
Pet care experience
Playtime, Companionship, and Love
I am a former rescue shelter manager, a life-long dog owner, and an approved Wake SPCA foster caregiver. I’m comfortable caring for puppies & kittens through seniors and all ages between. Tips for an optimal match: I accept multiple dogs from multiple families, so pups must be dog-friendly and current on vaccinations. I’m extremely careful about introductions and maintaining a happy, calm, respectful space. We have vigorous friendly quiet play, but no bullying or hierarchy “play.” I do not accept intact adult males (puppies are fine). And I essentially shut down at 5-6 pm to focus on boarders’ dinners, walks, “quiet time” settling before final potty walks/lights out. But I’m a very early riser (by 4 am), so I can accommodate early pickups and drop offs easily, but not nighttime requests.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great care and communication! Our pup was very happy with Sloane.
Sloane was very kind toward Lucy. She sent me messages and photos everyday. Luvy looked well cared for and very happy when I picked her up! Sloane was wonderful. I highly recommend her!
Sloane is absolutely amazing! Finding someone you trust with your dogs can be tough, but she has completely restored my faith in pet sitters. Bear and Hamilton always come home happily exhausted and clearly well-loved. I feel so at ease leaving them in her hands. Absolutely recommend. Thank you Sloane
Very thankful for Sloane! She took great care of Mina, sent notes, photos and updates.
Sloane is an amazing sitter!! She took great care and attention to care for our dogs. She is responsive and sends in-depth updates.
Stevie had the best time staying with Sloane! I received regular, detailed updates and pics—made me feel so secure that she was happy & healthy while we were away!

Schedule
I work from home, so I’m available to care for your pet throughout the day and night. I also walk daily and include dogs in those walks, as well as on any pet-friendly errands.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I usually let dogs determine their boundaries within my home. Well-trained dogs have the run of the house and are allowed on beds/furniture IF their owners allow that. I have a large crate available if that is the owner’s wish for overnight care or if necessary due to repeated destructiveness. However, I’m a strong believer in “a tired dog is a well-behaved dog,” so generally dogs are entertained and well-exercised … therefore, well-behaved. I have a wide array of toys, puzzles, and other enrichment activities, which are washed between visitors and replaced as needed (as are all food & water bowls, bedding, and grooming implements).
A typical day
Because of my background in rescue & foster, I appreciate the uniqueness and quirks of every animal and am passionate about providing a positive experience for each animal. I love to stimulate pets physically, cerebrally, and emotionally. A typical day includes a good hike to a park, some play time there, excursions to any pet-friendly places I go, some puzzle time as part of their feedings, frequent play breaks, cuddles and belly rubs. Really, they’re immediately family, and I use my experience to guide what their needs are throughout their day so that it’s a positive experience for both of us. I don’t force long walks when a dog is clearly tired, and I’ll add additional experiences when a dog needs more attention. We usually close the day with some wind-down time with a chewy or a massage or cuddles, whichever best suits the dog (and the owner’s preferences).
