“Alessandra is a GEM! She is kind and gentle and knows how to make our anxious little dog feel safe. She is very conscientious and made sure she understood the details of Lou's routine (including his medication), which put me completely at ease. Alessandra gives our dog the same loving care that we do, and I'm so glad to have found her!”

About: Hi! My name is Mack, and I’m a chemist in the RTP area with a lifelong love of critters! I grew up caring for dogs and cats and love to spoil and pamper them. I have experience caring for pups of all personalities and ages, including senior dogs with medical needs. I am also experienced with fish and other aquatic critters, as well as birds! I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy working with medium-sized and large dogs and love getting to know each pup as an individual. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra companionship, or care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! DISCOUNT- I offer a discounted rate for house sitting during the day without overnight stays (typically 8am to 8pm). If this is of interest to you, reach out and I’ll offer the discounted rate! I am an early riser and can best help with early morning and afternoon pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and pet care styles. For house sitting bookings, I am committed to leaving your home clean and showing your home the care and respect it deserves! This includes keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their home, staying on their schedules, and cleaning up.

About: I love dogs! I've had medium to large breed dogs throughout my life and would like to start walking dogs as a side gig. Walking dogs within neighborhoods or trails would be my specialty. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take excellent care of your pet. I am very competent and will take excellent care of your furry friend. I will communicate with you as you would like- photos, just a touch base text whatever you prefer! I currently have plenty of time during the day to walk and play with pups! Morning, lunch breaks or afternoons are best options for me. Leashed walks in neighborhoods or trails. Can walk multiple dogs if needed at the same time. Short car rides to dog parks would be possible.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would so excited to meet your furry family members! I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was ten years old and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I am also a proud dog and cat mom, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them while you are away. During my undergraduate years at Tulane University, I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Orleans, where I helped walk and care for shelter dogs. I also had the opportunity to work with service animals through my university, which gave me additional experience understanding the importance of patience, consistency, responsibility, and following each animal’s individual needs and routines. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and compassionate, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of school. Whether your dog needs a good walk and some zoomies, your cat wants some attention (or prefers to pretend I don’t exist!), or your pet simply needs someone to stop by and keep them company, I’m happy to help! 🐾 What I can help with: - Dog walking & exercise -Cat & dog check-ins - Feeding & fresh water -Playtime & cuddles - Cleaning up after pets - Medication assistance when needed 📸 Photos & updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s needs! I’m available for check-ins and visits anytime on weekends. During the week, I am completely available on Fridays and can usually accommodate morning and evening check-ins Monday–Friday, with the exception of Wednesdays, when my availability is more limited. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! 🐶🐱 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I provide in home check-ins and care at your pet’s home. I will always respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide thoughtful, attentive care.

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I’m based in Chapel Hill and provide services throughout the Triangle. I currently work with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My schedule is very flexible and often remote, which allows me to spend extended time in your home for house sitting or provide multiple drop-in visits each day, whatever best fits your pet’s needs. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and those with special needs. I began volunteering at animal shelters in my early teens and continued pet sitting for neighbors throughout high school and college. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—cats and dogs, along with hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Currently, I share my home with three cats: my 16-year-old Maine Coon mix, Leo, and two rescue girls, Indigo and Periwinkle. While I don’t have a dog of my own yet, my family has four, and I plan to adopt one in the future. I’m experienced with administering medications (including insulin), as well as providing baths, light grooming, enrichment, and dog park visits. I’m also happy to help with household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, loving, and attentive care. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛 My current role allows me to be able to work remotely so my routine can be very flexible depending on your preferences and pet needs! I’d care for your pets in your home as I’d care for my own pets at home, with all the snuggles, treats and playtime they need!

About: Does your pet require medications? I can help with that! I have been a veterinary technician for 26 years & in vet med for a total of 30 years. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give your fur babies the love, attention, exercise, & playtime they deserve! 🐾 ❤️ Your pets aren't just "pets" - they're family, & I'll treat them like my own! 😻 🐶 When caring for your pets in their home, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, & on their normal routine. I'll follow your specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, & any other care your pets need. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own - keeping things clean, securing doors & gates, and making sure your pets are never left in an unsafe situation. I'll also provide regular updates & photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable & loved in their own familiar environment.

About: I’ve always been around dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m an active and responsible caregiver who enjoys spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing, getting some exercise, or simply relaxing together. I’m attentive to the little things that help dogs feel comfortable and happy, including maintaining their normal feeding and walking routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they get the care they need while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and will take the time to learn what works best for your pet. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently fully available at all hours and can provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on them, and always follow any instructions you leave for me. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
