About: Grew up on a farm in North Carolina. Growing up we had multiple horses, dogs, cats and also birds. Animals have always been a big part of my life and will continue to be. I am punctual and follow directions well, and willing to cater to special requests for your pets. I work 5 days a week, work starting at 07:00 and getting off around 15:00. I could fit care in prior to and after work. I like to keep a high level of situational awareness when dealing with clients and their animals, always communicating with the owner and sending pictures.

Nancy is wonderful. During a 10-day trip out of the country we never doubted for a second that our Samoyed was in good hands with her. Five stars.

This family is awesome. They are well worth the money they provided so much love and support from my Rottweiler. He had such a good time and he enjoyed himself. I recommend this family to anyone that needs a pet that are because they are out of this world truly five star.

Johnathan was a great sitter really went above and beyond for my kitty son. His regular sitter moved and we tried Johnathan for the first time. He was very communicative and even offered to help me settle my cat in and see where he will be at. He kept constant communications and pics of my kitty. You can tell he really does care for animals. Very polite and respectful I’ll always trust him with my son knowing he’s in good hands. It was a rough beginning with my cat getting settled in but Johnathan was very patient and understanding. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!

We don’t leave our baby often, but we’re in a position where our normal baby sitters couldn’t watch him. We met Meghan before hand and felt confident she would take good care of our Buck! She sent us updates and made us feel he was well taken care of! Would recommend Megahn and her family for boarding to anyone in need!

About: Hi there! I'm Leila, and I've been passionate about caring for dogs since childhood. Growing up in a home filled with at least two dogs at any given time (sometimes as many as four!), I've developed a deep understanding of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I've got the experience to cater to their unique needs. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to offer continuous companionship, thanks to my remote work setup. Your furry companion will never experience loneliness or neglect while you're away. I'm fully committed to ensuring your pet feels loved, secure, and content in your absence. My services go beyond basic care. I also provide specialized assistance such as puppy training and senior dog care. I recognize the significance of positive reinforcement and patience with young dogs, and I'm well-versed in the extra care and gentleness required for our senior canine friends. My goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind, knowing that your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! As a remote worker, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This means I can prioritize your pet's needs as required, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding times, or simply providing companionship, I adapt my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique requirements. I'm committed to providing personalized care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and content in their environment. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and following any specific instructions you've provided. By keeping your pet in their own space, I aim to minimize stress and ensure they receive the highest level of care. Please note that, at this time, I exclusively offer pet-sitting services in your home, ensuring your pet's comfort and security while you're away.

Marie is awesome!!! From the first meeting we had, she made us feel comfortable leaving Yani with her. It was hard for us to leave him for that long (3 weeks) and be thousands of miles away, but with her sending pictures consistently and giving us daily updates, she made it a lot easier for us. She even took time to hand- feed ( being a picky eater) and train Yani as well which is a big PLUS!!! She even gave us a list of what their routine was and the commands she taught so we can follow through. We can’t thank her enough for what she has done taking care of our fur-baby, and would definitely book her again.

Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️

When you have a senior dog you’re going to seek a sitter that is willing to be more attentive and watchful to your dog. Chris immediately caught Lulu’s trust and quickly went to her. Chris listened to our instructions regarding Lulu’s meds; special dietary needs and assistance with the stairs. She sent us photos and you can easily see Lulu’s happy face and comfort. Chris also reported that she ended up sleeping in her own bed and cuddled in the morning. We are extremely happy and grateful to the love and attention she gave our sweet Lulu. We are already booking her in May and feel confident that Lulu is in loving care and will enjoy her stay with Chris.

Highly recommend booking with Elexus! She is so sweet and great with dogs. She took the time to get to know our Australian shepherd through our profile before his stay which made me feel very at ease. She was extremely communicative throughout our week long trip and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She also sent multiple pictures throughout each day! If you’re looking for a kind, professional, communicative, and active person who loves dogs, Elexus is your girl!

I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'. I highly recommend Daisy, husband Walter and their 'boy' Teddy!!!!

Very easy to drop them off and pick up, Brandon came to help and was super friendly and very welcoming for my chaotic kiddos. He did a phenomenal job taking good care of them while I was away. I got lots of pictures of their walks and the fun things they did this amend. I was worried because one of my boys has an anxious attachment personality due to his upbringing before I adopted him, but that wasn’t much of an issue with him due to the comfort and care that was provided. Extremely happy with the service (:
