About: I grew up with animals and have always loved caring for them — mainly cats, but I can’t forget the gerbils, bunnies, reptiles, you name it! Although I’ve grown up with cats, I love dogs just as much and have spent the last 5-7 years walking and looking after dogs of all sizes for friends and family. As a babysitter, I know that pets aren’t just a part of the job — they are family! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that involves long walks or some serious playtime (honestly, I think I might have more fun playing than they do). I’m well informed on pet care and safety, and I always prioritize their well-being and safety. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and treat your pets like my own. Caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s truly my joy. I’m currently home from college for the summer. Having just finished a summer course, I have nothing but free time until September! I’m very flexible and happy to help where I’m needed, whether that may be scheduled in advance or on short notice. I am big on going on walks for exercise, so bringing your dog along with me is not only easy but preferable! I have a big backyard where your pet can play, but because I have two cats, I don’t take long dog stays at my home. I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home and will always follow any instructions you provide me! I can crate your dog if needed, spend time outside for potty breaks (and clean up after!), play with them, and take them for as many walks as you (or your pet) want. I’m very experienced with house sitting through years of babysitting (most of my clients have dogs) and am very comfortable staying in your home for a few nights to keep your fur babies company. I’m a great rule follower, so let me know what it is you’d like from me and I’m happy to help you out! I’m very flexible, easy to work with, and happy to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs.

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

“Shannon was awesome with Charley. She is super friendly, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals. She sent daily photos and updates which is greatly appreciated. Will definitely book again!”

“Victoria was great with all 3 of my dogs. It tends to be a circus wrangling all 3, but she did an awesome job. Victoria is attentive to detail and great at communicating. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently working for some delivery apps, so I will always be driving around on most days, during the day and when the sun starts to go down. It would be awesome to work the day, and stop by a few times to get my pet fix. Extra bonus if I would watch overnight when it starts to get dark! Saturday night and Sunday day is for family. I am currently doing some research on dog training/care, as I am getting my own dog in the summer! All my other pets are in great health. In your own home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop:)

About: I am a dog lover seeking dogs to walk! Recently found myself with more free time and want to fill it with pets! My senior pup can no longer take long walks so I’m missing it a lot. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule during the week and typically have weekends available. I am available for drop-in’s, walks and potential over nights. I will provide the highest level of care and compassion for all dogs all needs, ages, shapes and sizes! I will treat them as if they were my own. I have a very gentle and compassionate personality and dogs LOVE me! Happy to provide any accommodations for your pet, whether that’s avoiding other pets on the walls, avoiding people, carrying water and treats, providing enrichment, training, etc.

“Selena was wonderful! My cat Ash loved her and she was very attentive to his needs. Very easy to get a hold of and accommodated all my requests! She is super loving to all pets!”

About: From bunnies to fish to dogs to chickens, I’ve helped out with neighborhood pets since high school. I have my own dog, Gordie, who comes to college with me, so I’m used to caring for pets. I’ve gone through extensive training classes with Gordie and have developed a very good understanding his behavioral cues and how to respond. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and am confident in my ability to interact and connect with them. I’m working part time from home and am always around to stop in to take care of pets, go for walks, or entertain them. I can easily stop in throughout the day for check-ins and walks. I prefer mornings and afternoons but can do a final check-in during the evening too. Looking to make new animal friends! I am used to going into other people’s homes and respecting their space. Safety and security are my priorities when it comes to pets and homes. I know it can be hard for some pets to be at home by themselves, so I’ll make sure to stimulate and comfort your pet during the time I’m there.

About: I love animals! I’ve had dogs since I was kid. I’m used to taking care of young and old dogs because I’ve had both! Raised mine since she was was puppy and now she’s a senior and not as active so I’m looking to take care of other pets since I’m not as busy. I work during the mornings so I have a flexible schedule. I am available to walk your dogs between 12pm-8pm and boarding starts at 2pm I have a small fenced yard and a friendly senior dog to keep your pup company. They’ll have air condition in the house and free to go out back whenever.

About: I grew up with pets and have years of experience caring for animals, including feeding, administering medication, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from walks and playtime to maintaining their daily routines. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I truly enjoy caring for others’ and making sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’m currently a student at Wake Forest, so outside of my class schedule, I’m pretty flexible and able to adjust my routine to meet your pet care needs. I am not available 12-3pm M-Th or T/Th 9:30-11am. In clients’ homes, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and well cared for by following their usual routines. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, cleaning up after the pets, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, or walks. My goal is to ensure pets feel happy and secure while their owners are away.

“Kate was so great!! Our dog Bella loved having Kate come to let her out and play ball with her. She was on time.”
