“Kristen was a great sitter for my cat! she was accommodating last minute which I appreciated, my kitty looked very happy in the photos she sent and everything was nice and clean when I arrived home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”
“Marissa took great care of my Pluto and Damien. She sent me some great pictures when I was away so that I knew they were being taken care of, and they were clearly well fed and watered while I was gone. She is easy to communicate with as well, and she will be visiting my cats away when I am away for a longer trip. Highly recommend!!”
“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
About: My family raised me to love and respect animals of all kinds.. but I am not a fan of the reptile family (sorry!). I helped train a family dog during my high school years and became a foster mom/adoption advisor for a rescue in 2006. I have helped about 30 dogs find their furever homes! Personally, I have 5 dogs and 2 cats in heaven, and 3 dogs here with me now. I do provide pet sitting services for friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, and furry caged critters (i.e. guinea pigs, bunnies). I am experienced with dogs of all ages (puppy to senior) and varying temperaments (i.e. fearful puppy mills rescues, timidity with hearing/sight challenges, incontinence) and use positive reinforcement for training. I am currently unemployed, but have worked remote since 2020. I am out and about almost daily throughout the week, but usually not away for more than 6 hours at a time. NC state law prevents unlicensed daycare or paid boarding in private homes. See www(dot)ncagr(dot)gov (slash)divisions (slash)veterinary (slash)aws for more information. When providing drop-in services, I will do my best to honor the requests of the pet parents.
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!
About: We would love to welcome you to our family! We currently have four dogs and three cats who love playing in our fenced-in yard. I have always had a passion for working with and caring for animals. Growing up, I was raised around all types of animals. My family would rescue, care for, and rehabilitate sick or injured kittens and puppies. I would help clean wounds, bottle-feed young animals, and care for all the animals that came through our home. I also have experience providing emergency veterinary services to various animals. My partner also has a lot of experience taking care of animals. She has worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital and was a puppy raiser for a service dog. We offer daycare as well as overnight stays. We are comfortable providing medication to your pet and helping make them as comfortable as possible. During your pet's visit, they have the opportunity to play alongside our pets or can have a separate space for themselves. I currently work part-time on Mondays and Tuesdays but am home the rest of the week. My partner works from home, so there is always someone at home to play with and take care of your pets. We are often home all weekend unless we are taking a hike with our dogs. Our home offers a fenced-in yard for your fur babies to explore during the day and walks can be taken around the neighborhood. Our cats spend most of their time in the enclosed porch so they can be away from your pets if necessary and our two youngest dogs sleep in cages at night. We can easily provide a crate for your pet during the day or at night if requested and there is space for them to have their own space away from our pets as well.
“Vanessa stole my Tasso's heart!!! She was fabulous! I could not believe the photos AND videos that she sent me. She cast magical spells on the wee chap and caused him to appear like a professional doggy model. I wish I could post the photos Vanessa sent and include the very detailed updates throughout the day of her interaction with my Norwich Terrier. Vanessa simply spoiled my dog and was very indulgent with Mr. Biscuit our fat cat!! I will always book Vanessa first and foremost!”
About: We have 4 dogs, a longhair chihuahua who we rescued when he was young, a chowchow mix whom we rescued from the woods as a puppy, and 2 great white pyranese who are primarily outside as guardian dogs. We absolutely love pets! They are our babies and will treat yours the same way! Growing up, we have always had dogs in the household and I wouldn't see it any other way . I have dog sat for multiple families. They are always supervised when together and separated when we run an errand. I've never run into any issues - most of them love all of the socialization! It's so much fun!! I am a stay-at-home mom and will be home full-time taking care of your babies as well as mine! We have lots of love and snuggles to go around! I look forward to hearing from you soon! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me! Thanks so much for checking out my profile! We live on 15 acres and have chickens, guinea fowl, and pigs. We keep them separated from all of the dogs that come visit. Our backyard is now fenced so there's a fenced area for our guests to run around! We also have a lot of dog toys here, so please try to resist bringing toys for your fur babies, I will worry they will get lost! ** My hours are approximately 6am-9pm. If you need to pick up or drop off later/earlier than that, we can discuss.** *if you refer someone to me and it ends in a completed stay, you will receive 1 free night stay for one of your dogs* I'm home full time so we will mostly be here with your fur baby. If we do leave for a playground or errand it's for a short time. I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
About: I have three dogs, a cat and a large fish tank! Two of my dogs and my cat were rescues that would have a hard time being adopted for behavioral or health reasons. They are now the most amazing pets! One of my rescues is deaf, has separation anxiety and skin problems so I am used to special needs dogs. I ran a dog sitting business in Seoul Korea. We were very busy since Korea does not have very many dog friendly places (for English speakers) so I was able to experience so many different kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities. Growing up, I walked my neighbors dogs for fun. Yes, I was that kid! I worked at Banfield veterinary clinic for two years before going back to college so I have experience with the medical aspect as well. I am very picky when it comes to my dogs and I would expect other owners to be the same way. I will treat your babies the same way I would want my babies treated! I now work during the week in youngsville 8-430pm so I would have to come by before and after work. I live at Lake Royale. I am free most weekends. Any special requests just let me know! I don't mind feeding your fish or other critters without any extra charge! Can't wait to see your fur babies! During the week I have my two toddler boys. But Friday-Sunday I am able to come hang out with your babies! Best part of the week! We do not currently offer in our home care due to our animals and children but we think your pets feel more comfortable at home anyway! We want to make sure they feel like they are safe and loved so you can enjoy your time away.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 11 years old and I absolutely love meeting new people! My friends and family always refers me as the “crazy cat lady” because I have 3 cats of my own! I am currently in school Monday-Thursday so I offer pet care Friday-Sunday! I always try and make time and make sure I am a help to others! I make sure if pets need to be leashed that it happens before going outside or leaving the house! I also always clean up after each animal to ensure cleanliness in the neighborhood!
“Rhiannon was great with our four fur babies! She sent us a report after every drop in visit with photos! It helped us to have a much better time with our family, knowing that they were in such great hands! She obviously has experience with animals, and it appeared they were all very happy with her from the photos. We will definitely use her again. Sincerely, The Peeks Oxford, NC”
About: I’m a pet mom of six full grown cats and two dogs. i’ve had them their entire lives. I rescued one of my cats from a ditch in a parking lot. I work early mornings so that I am available afternoons and evenings any day of the week. I am often in Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham and Hillsborough. I have a fenced front and back yard so our pets just go out there to pee or poop. We feed our dogs and cats two times a day.

“I was so worried about leaving my dogs when I went on vacation. But then I was extremely fortunate to find Amanda. After our initial meeting I was extremely impressed by her professionalism, love and concern for the care of my pets. She is a gem and a true animal lover. She has experience fostering animals, so she is well aware of what it takes to care for pets with special needs and can adapt quickly to the wishes you have for the care of your pet. Amanda endured my list of instructions and made me feel at ease that my pets would be well taken care of and treated like a member of the family during their stay. I never had to worry about their well-being or safety and I received pictures of my pets while they were in her care to put my mind at ease. I can always rest easy when my pets are being cared for by Amanda and they are always so happy when I get there to pick them up. I plan to use Amanda every time I need a pet sitter. Top notch love and care provided.”
