“Thank you so much Jenny! I did not worry a bit with you in charge while I was away. Bear seems to have done quite well. From our initial meet-and-greet to your thank you note and cute bow tie for Bear, your attention to your customers (humans and pets) has been top notch! Thank you so much for your dedication and passion! You will hear from me again!”

“Kaitie is the sweetest. It’s easy to see how much she loves animals and genuinely cares for them. She’s very reliable, and easy to work with. She’s also a great communicator! I don’t worry about bit when she’s keeping my fur baby!”

About: Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm so excited to meet & care for your loved ones. Animals have been at the center of my life for more than 20 years. I spent five years working with a humane society, assisting with adoptions, foster programs, and cruelty cases, and I have fostered countless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies throughout the years. This experience has given me the skills to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Pet sitting is now my primary focus, allowing me to provide dependable care, flexible scheduling, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, or extra patience and support, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior and special-needs pets, who hold a special place in my heart. Friends often joke that I'm a "cat whisperer" because cats tend to warm up to me quickly, but I love dogs and cats equally. When your pet is in my care, you can expect reliable communication, compassion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are receiving attentive, experienced care and plenty of love while you're away. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend! Since pet care is my full-time commitment. I'm available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday care. I dedicate my full attention, allowing me to be flexible and available when you and your pets need me. I can easily accommodate small dogs in my townhouse. I have a large deck to lounge around and plenty of areas to walk your pet & keep them safe. I offer flexible services to fit your pet's needs and your schedule, including drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate cats and kittens in my home if needed; however, most cats are happiest and least stressed when cared for in their own environment. Staying in a familiar space helps them maintain their routine and feel secure while you're away.
About: My 7+ years of experience began with a dedicated focus on providing compassionate care for the pets of my family and friends. This has given me an intimate understanding of the trust required to be a great pet sitter. Provided regular, energetic walks to ensure physical and mental stimulation. Organized park visits for safe socialization and off-leash play in designated areas, Offered comprehensive overnight care, maintaining pets' routines and providing a sense of comfort while their owners were away. As a stay-at-home mom with an 8-month-old, my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pet's needs. I am able to provide a constant, watchful presence, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding a caregiver who will treat your furry family member with the same love and care you do. Please know that having my child with me will not hinder my ability to provide your pet with all the care and attention they need. My primary focus is on your pet. My day is structured around their feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime. My baby is in a carrier or stroller during walks, allowing me to fully focus on your pet's safety and well-being. During feeding and playtime, I use a playpen or a secure area to ensure my baby is safe and my hands are free to give your pet my undivided attention. To ensure both your pet's and my child's safety, I can ensure they have separate spaces. My child will be in a secure playpen, stroller, or carrier in a designated area of the home while your pet and I are playing, feeding, or training.
“Candace did a great job taking care of my little Dolly! You can tell right away how much she loves dogs and she was great about popping in to check on her, walk her and feed her, per the work request. She sent photos and updates from each visit and we know she got great care. I would highly recommend Candace for your pet-sitting needs and I know I will hire her again in the future.”


“Alyssa has been great with learning Melo and listening to my needs for his weekly check in. My guy is really happy with the extra potty breaks in the day! We will definitely continue booking Alyssa for weekly visits.”


“We had a great experience with Stephanie and will absolutely book with her again. Communication was excellent, we received regular updates, and it was clear our pets were well cared for while we were away. We really appreciate the care provided and look forward to booking again in the future.”

About: I’ve had pets as far as I can remember. I’ve always been the one to take them outside for walks or potty breaks. Always fed them. I have volunteered at a dog rescue for 3 years training and handling dogs of all sizes. I have a dog of my own. My beautiful husky. Whom I spend as much time as I can with him. But am willing to show that love and attention to your pet as well. I prefer to keep the pet in the comfort of their own home. Being somewhere new and not familiar can stress pets out. I’d rather they be comfortable in their own home.
About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I've always lived with dogs and cats growing up. Dogs are my sanctuary from people. I joke that in my line of social work I go to the houses to see the people but stay to play with the dog. I also enjoy being active and playing around so dogs can get their energy out. Cats, although some people don't like them, are also fun for me. I love playing with them and letting them snuggle. I know all pets have different personalities and I intend to like them all I currently work full time as a social worker. I'm able to drop in/walk before and after work and occasionally on lunch depending on where you are located. Weekends are fully open for me most days so im able to help out as much as possible with cats or dogs My current dog gets walked several times a day in our large yard. We provide her with many toys and slow feeding bowls/ games to keep her mind active. She's fed 2 times a day and of course is spoiled with treats here and there. I successfully crate trained my pup and it's her go to spot for anxiety.
“Rilea was amazing and I would highly recommend. I had no doubt that my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I will be asking for her in particular again and suggest that anyone else do the same!”

About: Reliable and detailed oriented! I will get to know their personal needs , personality, and what works for them! Your pets second favorite human lol I am a body piercer. I work 10 minutes away from my home. I have a set time to take my puppy out as he is still going through potty training My apartment is pretty open for the fur babies to room around and I have a small fur baby of my own that can play with! There is a big area of grass around my complex where they can go potty and play and a dog park right up the street.
About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who genuinely loves animals of all kinds — dogs and cats included! I work from home 4/5 days a week, which allows me to provide lots of supervision, companionship, and flexible care. As a Doberman owner myself, I have hands-on experience with strong, intelligent breeds and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time but from home 4 out of 5 days a week, which gives me flexibility and availability during the day. I’m available for drop-in visits between 11:30 AM–1:00 PM and after 5:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m happy to coordinate care that fits your pet’s schedule. Since I’m home most days, I can provide attentive, consistent care and timely check-ins. I take safety, trust, and respect for your home very seriously. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, keep food and medications exactly as directed, and monitor for any changes in behavior or health.
About: I have 3.5 years of dog training experience plus 4 years of being a veterinary assistant. I recently moved back to NC after living in Cape Cod MA for the last 4 years. I worked at The Reliable Dog training center in Cape Cod MA for the last 3.5 years. I have worked with and handled all types of dogs with different personalities. I provided not only the most loving care but also can share my knowledge of animal health and training. I just moved back to North Carolina. I am currently able to dedicate all weekdays to dog walking and drop ins. I also am able to do weekends depending on dates. Keeping your pet safe and happy is my top priority. Pets usually feel most comfortable in their own home which is why I offer only in home care or walks to try to keep stress levels low for your animals. I can administer medications including subcutaneous fluids for those special needs pets or senior pets. I also know a widen verity of enrichment activities and training exercises for those very high energy dogs.
