About: I’ve always been very good with taking care of animals. I’ve house sat and taken in pets of family members for a couple of years now and understand the responsibility of taking care of another member of the family. I work weekdays from 11:30-5 therefore I’m available in the mornings and the evenings. I try to have a healthy balance of social life and work and try to space out my time as much as possible. I have a German Shepard/pit bull mix at home which requires hands on activity, play, and feeding. It’s important that animals not only get the proper to make sure they are living comfortably but also the most amount of love and attention for their own benefit

This is the second time we are using Sara’s service, so this review is for our previous experience as well as this experience with Sara as our cat sitter: Sara is not just a cat sitter, she’s a care taker in general. She would keep the place clean, spend time with our cat Titan, send us prompt updates with pics and vids of Titan. She communicates very well and is a very kind person. We left a list of things to do for Titan’s care - she went above and beyond. We trust her so much and she is the ideal person you’d leave your precious animals with. You can always count on Sara!

Brittany was very communicative and loving toward my Soleil when we needed her for a last minute booking. She was prompt, shared many photos and notated my kitty’s demeanor every visit. Would definitely book again.

About: I take care of my dog Cindy at home, she loves going on long walks and runs. While I'm at campus Im constantly walking between buildings so I have the stamina for a high energy dog! I'll make sure your baby is tuckered out from a fun day. I'm completely home for the summer, I do commissions on the side but I keep my work portable so my schedule is beyond clear. At home I'm in charge of keeping the dog occupied and making sure the cats are taken care of. This means going on walks when the weather allows it and playing tug a war with her. I feed my dog in a puzzle feeder to keep her brain stimulated while I clean the cats litter boxes and give them all a can of wet food when my senior cat decides to come downstairs. I have them all on this routine which I've kept consistent since I've been home. I like making routines and sticking to them both in my work ethic and how I go about taking care of my pets. Consistency is key and I try to be as consistent as possible. If theres a specific route your dog loves to go on I would love to walk it that way, if theres a specific toy your cat loves I'd love to play with it. If your pets need to be fed at a specific time they will be fed at that time!

Nicole is the best! She is our daily dog walker, and stepped in this week to take care of our cats and bunny while we were on vacation visiting family in Wisconsin. She was attentive, communicative, and extremely loving. We couldn’t recommend her more!

About: I've been trained as a dog groomer for about a year and a half, so if your dog needs maintenance on its coat I'd be more than happy to help. I've worked with many kinds of dogs from 4 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. I also have a senior dog, a yellow Labrador, 13 yrs. I'm currently on pursuit for a part time job, so have more time to take care of any animals right now! The only day that doesn't work for me is Sunday or anytime after 6:30 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. I would love to know your pets daily routine, likes and dislikes in order to provide the best service I can for your furry friend.

About: I’ve had pets in my house from dogs & cats to fish & turtles my whole life!! Whether it’s raising a litter of cats, cleaning up accidents, or administering oral medication, I’ve done it all. While I’ve only taken care of friends’ pets a handful of times, they’ve been impressed by my thorough care & effort every time! I’m currently job-hunting and out of school, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My only setback is going to church certain days of the week, but otherwise I can be available anytime! I understand that every home is different & can adjust to your setup & layout easily, no judgement here! Just let me know what it is you need done for your pet/house and I can do it.

About: I grew up with two large dogs who I adore!! I spend time at Forsyth humane society as much as possible. I have been fostering dogs the past two years and adore being able to give them love and a safe home. I am a part time student at wake forest this summer. I am extremely available Thursday-Sunday. Monday-Wednesday I am available after 3pm as well. I am very willing to board dogs Thurs to Sunday! My home is extremely clean and it’s spacious enough for dogs to run around. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I will take dogs on as many walks as possible depending on how active they typically are. I love dogs and will make sure to take care of yours as if it’s mine!!!
