About: I have raised my sweet cat Sneaky since she was a kitten, as well as my dog Mabel since she was a puppy. I have had Sneaky for 7 years, and Mabel for 5. They are my life! I also have some grooming experience, so I am familiar with animals in a professional setting as well. I currently work for Instacart and attend NC State University. I'll be able to take care of your pets any time I'm not in school! I will care for your pets to your exact specifications and keep them great company! I am available for walks, drop ins, and some house sitting!

“Kayla was fantastic! Great communication from her through my travels. Already booking with her again. It’s great to have a trustworthy person to keep my cat company and feed her while I’m away!”

About: 7 years of loving your pets. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — not just as pets, but as companions, teachers, and joy-bringers. I’ve always felt most at peace when I’m surrounded by animals and nature. Whether I’m hiking a quiet trail with a furry friend by my side, playing fetch in an open field, or simply relaxing on a porch after a long day outdoors, I find happiness in the simple, grounded connection that dogs and the natural world provide. I value patience, kindness, and structure — all qualities that guide the way I care for animals. For me, caring for dogs isn't just a job — it’s who I am at my core. I am a dedicated and compassionate animal care professional with hands-on experience in canine enrichment, behavioral observation, and facility operations. At Woof Pack Pet Services in Boone, NC, I served as an Enrichment Counselor, Kennel Attendant, and New Hire Trainer, where I led tailored group enrichment sessions to promote dogs' mental well-being, trained new staff in safe and effective animal handling protocols, and developed individualized care plans for dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I also administered medications, monitored health changes, and maintained strong communication with both clients and veterinary professionals to ensure timely care. At Mills River Dog Camp in Mills River, NC, I expanded my leadership skills as a Shift Supervisor, managing the daily care of over 50 dogs, supervising staff, and implementing training and de-escalation strategies for anxious or reactive dogs. I’m experienced in maintaining detailed health and behavior records and have consistently prioritized both animal welfare and client satisfaction through attentive care, structured routines, and open communication. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just getting someone who knows how to follow instructions — you're getting someone who genuinely cares. I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, or a little extra anxiety. I treat every animal with the same level of attentiveness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I believe in clear communication, both with animals and their people, and I always aim to provide peace of mind through consistent care, safety, and respect. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral part of my life and a true passion. Daily, I dedicate time to understanding and meeting each animal’s unique needs—whether it’s through enrichment activities, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Over the years, I’ve developed routines that prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of pets in my care, balancing structured schedules with flexibility to respond to individual behaviors and health changes. Weekly, I continuously update my knowledge on animal behavior and care techniques to ensure the highest quality of service. I am now seeking to turn this dedication into a full-time career where I can combine my hands-on experience, love for animals, and commitment to their welfare to make a meaningful difference every day. I tailor my pet care approach based on the environment and individual needs of each animal. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and engaging space with plenty of enrichment activities, consistent routines, and close monitoring of health and behavior to ensure pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I focus on maintaining consistency to reduce stress, providing companionship, administering medications if needed, and keeping the environment clean and secure. Communication with the pet owner is key to ensuring their pet’s needs are met and any concerns are promptly addressed. My priority is always the well-being and happiness of the pet, adapting my care style to create a positive, trusting experience whether at home or theirs.

“Great dog sitter, can tell he’s been around dogs forever. My dog can be aggressive, especially to strangers and he knew how to deal with her. She loves him after 3 visits. Highly recommend!”

“Teresa took amazing care of my cats during the week of my trip. She was caring and professional, providing pictures and updates every day. My senior needed eye drops and she administered without problems. And from the happiness in the pictures, my younger male really enjoyed her visits. Teresa visited faithfully despite the horrible weather (flood and tornado warnings!) and her earned confidence allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thank you Teresa for taking care of my kitties! I would definitely book you again.”

“Grace is so sweet and both my pups loved her! She helped me out when I was in a last minute bind which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her to take care of my boys again!”

About: As a lifelong dog dad, I have years of experience with my own pets and with others. Being a working author makes home pet sitting is an ideal situation for me. All I need is internet and a place to sit with my laptop. Cuddles from the fur babies always provides inspiration. You can count on responsible care from a guy who has had more life experience than some (a kind way to say older). 🙂 Although I prefer just a few days at a time since I’m married and have my own fur babies, I would consider longer term house sitting for the right situation. I am a working author. This makes my situation flexible and provides my ability to be attentive. I still perform vocals with a jazz band, but that would be blocked off on my schedule as would any book tours. My policy for care of your pets is that you know them best. I hope not to drive you crazy with requests of daily schedule, but routines are important for our fur families. Therefore, I will want to know a typical day and will try to adhere to that as closely as possible. I do not accept pets in my home.

About: We are a husband and wife team who have experience with dogs from cradle to grave. We have potty trained multiple dogs and provided senior care to another. Our greatest experience is with small and mid-size dogs, but we also enjoy working with large dogs. Available 7am to 7pm each day to care for your pet, allowing for their routine to remain the same. Thus allowing your comfort and theirs to be maintained. Care offered depends upon the needs of the pet. We’ve worked with dogs who need play time and snuggles, while others have been independent and needed nothing more than food and a trip outside. I strive to build a relationship with our furry companions that will help me understand what care they need. We are happy to provide all care from playing, to feeding, to administering medicine, or even assisting pets with special needs.

“We are new to NC. We were very concerned no one would want to watch our dog, due to size & nervousness around new people. We lucked out with Alison. She walked in and was not scared of him what so ever. I am very grateful for Alison.”

About: I have worked 5 years watching all types of breeds (German Shepard, pit bull, yorkie, dachshund, Pomeranian and boxer) and very sick pups (hip problems ,cancer and no teeth). I took care of them when the owners were working or out of town . I can not bring them to my house but I’m willing to stay over nights or just go check on them before or after work my schedule I normally work 6am-4 pm but free the rest of the day. I have a few references message me for numbers or more information. I’m ready to work and take care of some doggies again. I can walk them bathe them, trim hair , exercise outside with them. I just started a new job and work a normal 6-4 job sometimes could be earlier or later when getting on or off but I have weekends free and afternoons to help out. I would care for pets just like my own and love them as much as you do. I’m respectful in anyone’s house if I need to go check on them

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I love getting to know each animal’s unique needs and quirks.

I take the time to really bond with every pet—whether that’s through fun walks, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. I’m also super reliable with routines and medication if needed, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing great. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I love starting and ending my day with walks, playtime, and quality time with pets.
