“Lillie was great! Communicated often and send photos as well. Left the house spotless! Milo ate the kitchen mat (for the SECOND TIME) and Lillie offered to reimburse us. Of course we said absolutely not- Milo gets mad when people he likes leaves the house. All in all a great experience! Definitely recommend!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel. We met with our dogs, to see how they would be together and he and I talked about the weekend I needed puppy-sitting. Instead of either staying at his apt or mine, because she is a very recent rescue, I asked if he could keep her at his place during the day but then have all 3 of them come and sleep at my apt at night. I did this so that she would know that even if she gets dropped off somewhere else, she is ALWAYS coming back to her home. This worked out very well and he is just the most caring person when it comes to our dogs. I don't travel very often, but I would like to confirm that he is a magnificent pet sitter and I hope he gets lots of business because he deserves all good things!!!”
“Telecia was amazing! 🤩 super easy to work with and willing to help us on such a quick turn around! She arrived timely and was super great with the pups from the beginning! We highly recommend her!”
“Lynsey is wonderful! She provided loving care for our dog and parrot for 10 days in October 2022. We especially appreciated her regular updates including photos. Thank you again, Lynsey!”
“We used Storm on 2 different occasions. Both times we were very happy with the care she provided for my Cooper. We spent 8 days in Aruba so being out of the country Added to my concerns of leaving my big boy behind. But Storm came through taking such care of Cooper. She took a lot of pictures along with daily updates. So if you need a sitter I highly recommend Storm for your sweet babies. Rick”
“I am so so happy I met Beth Ann! Words can not even describe how grateful I am and how wonderful she made my vacation. I have 2 pit bulls, 1 who is still a puppy and VERY hyper and when I came home from my one week vacation not only were both of my babies happy and comfortable but my Beth Ann had taught my puppy how to sit! I’m a full time working mom with crazy hours so needless to say my house is no where near perfect and to my amazement when I came home, my house was spotless! I was able to talk to Beth Ann everyday and receive multiple pictures and videos of my babies and saw how happy they were! Again I am SO thankful for Beth Ann and HIGHLY recommend her! She is a true sweetheart and feels like part of the family now!”

About: I have loved animals since I was a child! And I've always had a pet of some sort growing up from dogs to cats to rabbits and ducks! I dont have any special training but I am taking veterinary technician courses at Penn Foster.

I have a very flexible schedule to work around any time your fur babies need some attention I currently live the RV life so I dont have a fenced in yard but I have a nice big spot where a lead can be put down for outside play time and plenty of room inside to cool down in the air conditioning! If I were in your home it will be however it is you would like me to care for your beloved fur baby.
About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.
About: I have had and been around dogs my entire life. I can't think of a time I haven't had a dog in our house. Even once I was old enough to move out I had my Chihuahua that I rescued when he was just an 8-week old baby. I have a rescued lab mix that is 10 years old and a red Doberman that loves everyone. I have raised multiple dogs and have fostered for a Marion NC rescue Rusty's Legacy. I work full time at a factory, 8hrs, but am looking to make a career change to working with dogs, as they have always been a passion of mine. I think all animals should be treated like members of the family and I hope you will give me the opportunity to help take care of your special fur baby. I currently work full time as a factory worker from 7am-3pm in the afternoon so my availability is late afternoon to evenings. I'm sorry for any inconveniences. I will always be respectful of your home and of their space. I always want you and your pets to feel comfortable and that they feel safe.

“Ever since I can remember Amanda has always had a love for all animals. If there is an animal that is stranded she will pick them up, if they are lost she will do everything in her power to help them find their home. She always says that animals are better than humans and she is absolutely right. Amanda has always wanted to have a career as a Veterinarian and she is on her way there. She will be the best sitter that your company will ever employ and she has such a big heart.”
