“Christen (who works with Ryan) took care of our two old cats as a last minute booking while we were away for a family emergency. She provided updates/pictures at every visit which allowed me to worry less about my furbabies so I was able to focus on my family. When we returned home, the cat’s water bowls were full, their litter box was clean, and there was no food dishes in the sink. I can’t recommend her enough and will continue to request her to cat sit when we leave town. Thanks Christen!”


“Mallory was an awesome sitter!! She kept us up to date on every visit posting pictures and activities. We were traveling and she was so great answering our questions and making sure our pups were well taken care of! Highly recommend!!”


“Kayla was great! We appreciated her visit with our cat and will definitely recommend her to others. Our kitty is shy and always runs and hides when anyone comes into our home. Kayla snapped a few pictures for us of her in her bed. We are pleased with the services and will utilize the services again.”


About: I've been caring for pets for friends and family over the years and have learned to love my furry friends. I've also raised kittens and puppies in my home so I have considerable knowledge of how to care for your little( or big) ones. I'm a full-time student but most of my days I have free time in the mornings and evenings and can't wait to spend it with your fur babies. I will provide your pet with a comforting and secure environment that makes them feel safe. I will delicately respect and tend to your pet and your home.


“A+++ Amanda is wonderful with our dogs and very dependable! I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and calm manner. She is on time, communicates and updates me on the dogs, sends pics during her visit, and handles everything beautifully! Very grateful to have found her!”

About: Hi! I love animals and have always had them throughout my life, ranging in size from rodents to horses. Currently, I have a cat and miss having a dog in the home, so I would love nothing more than to make sure your pet has the care and attention you would give him or her yourself. As a doting pet owner, I understand the importance of knowing your pet is in good hands and well cared for and just how important updates can be when you are away. I am open to working with your schedule and learning anything particular that you and your pet may need. My services include walking, running, playing, feeding, administering medicines, or even bathing and brushing your pet. Just let me know any particulars in our meet and greet! Currently in between jobs and looking to fill in my schedule with some furry childcare. I have a flexible schedule and will only list on my calendar my availability. I am available to stay in your home since I know how important it can be for making pets feel safe. As a world traveller who uses home exchange, I will always leave your home as I found it if not neater and let you know of any issues right away.

“Michelle did a fantastic job of taking care of our German while we were out of town. She was able to handle a large dog who basically had no leash etiquette and was able to give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!!”


About: I've had all different kinds of pets throughout my life (cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks) - and have lived on homesteads with farm animals too. Most recently I've been full time house and pet sitting over the last year while traveling. I have completed 24 assignments with glowing off the charts 5 star reviews. House/pet sitting has been one of the the most special things I've ever done. You can be sure your pup will get daily walks in local parks or trails, playtime in the yard or the dog park, and lots of cuddle time too - there will be no shortage of affection and attention. Please note that my two children do accompany me on overnight pet sitting assignments. They are wonderful with animals and under my supervision the entire time, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a booking request. Thank you! I'm a work from home, homeschooling mother. I have curated our lifestyle such that we have flexibility throughout the day. I always welcome an opportunity to get outside with your pups for a walk and play time. Please note that I do overnight pet sits with my two children. I supervise them at all times, and they are wonderful with animals, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a request for booking. I regard pet and house sitting as an honor and responsibility. Caring for what people love and cherish most. I bring my heart and presence to each assignment, insuring your pets are always in a safe loving and enriching environment, with an attentive and trustworthy caregiver.

About: I have been around all types of animals and pets my whole life. I don't mind taking care of any type of pet you may have from babys to seniors, cats of all breeds and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m also good with taking care of other domestic pets, exotic pets and farm animals. I only work part time so I have a lot of extra time to care for animals and enjoy being outdoors walking, biking and hiking. I can also just enjoy sitting on the porch with a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to run and play in. We have a back deck that can be closed off for playtime. Inside we have room for play and crate time if needed. My house is open and available for fur babies to relax, run, play and have pet beds for sunbathing or relaxing.

About: Hi, I'm Meredith! I've grown up with all kinds of animals -- cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, fancy rats, frogs, and snakes. My family and me rescued over 80 cats, all fixed and adopted or released. I am comfortable giving medications, including shots, to cats and dogs and have handled reactive dogs. I am currently between jobs, so I am available most days. I will be home in Brevard much of the summer and I'm available to check in on your fuzzy babies! In my home, my kittens are fed wet food twice a day and dry food is freely available, as well as a water fountain. Their litterboxes are cleaned multiple times a week. I make sure to play with them every few hours. One of my cats has a chronic illness, so he is given a pill 3x daily and eye drops once per day. I used to have a senior German Shepherd-Labrador mix named Buckles who was walked at least four times daily, fed once in the morning and once in the evening. We made sure to take her on new hikes so she could get some new smells. She was dog-reactive so I learned quickly how to redirect and avoid those situations. I've pet-sat in several ways, including staying overnight with pets, multiple check-ins each day, staying all day, and even having them in my home (in very special circumstances). With others' pets, I take my time and stay quiet so the pets can get comfortable with me. Treats and lovin' abounds!

About: Hi! My name is Chloe, and I'm a huge animal lover! Growing up, my family has always kept lots of animals. Big and small dogs, cats, rodents, birds and fish! I currently have a sweet black lab of my own, and we love to go hiking together! She is my baby, so I can assure you that your pets well being will always be my top priority! I do also have some dog training experience as well, so if that’s ever a need, I’d be happy to help. Upon request, I can provide wonderful references from over the years. (: My schedule is very flexible, just give me a few days notice if you're looking for overnight care. I'm also available for dogs walks daily! I currently provide drop in, and overnight services in clients homes. And I am committed to not only making your dog feel safe and comfortable, but also providing a fun, enriching environment for them. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, ages and breeds.


“Elizabeth was an awesome companion for Danny! She visited everyday for a week and gave my kitty the love he deserves. Super reliable, and great pictures and notes after each visit.”


“Amie did a fantastic job with our two dogs. We actually had to change the times of her visits after the first day because of poor planning on our parts. Amie was able and willing to roll with the changes. Will be using her services again!”


About: Hi!! I’m Sky, an adventure seeker, an outdoors enthusiast and the most passionate dog person this side of the Mississippi 😆 I’m new to the area and settling into my new home. I have the PERFECT set up at home for pets (giant fenced-in yard, access to many hiking trails/dog parks, etc.) More importantly, I am extremely passionate about animals and giving them the love they deserve. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been called on to dog sit for family & friends. Your pet will be safe, snuggled, and loved in my care! I typically have 3-4 days off in a row, every week. This makes it easy for me to give your pet the attention he/she deserves. My average work day is 6-8 hours, so if pet setting falls on a work day for me, this is the longest stretch of time your pet would be without care. I have no other pets (yet) 😆. So your dog will get my undivided attention! My home offers a large yard, many dog walking opportunities in the area, pet-friendly furniture, and an indoor camera for the kennel or dog room, so you and I can keep an eye on your dog while I’m away at work!

About: I am looking to walk dogs and/or house sit for people going on vacation this summer and need their pets taken care of. Between my care for personal pets and my service for others, I have significant pet care experience. I like to meet you and your pets in person before working for you so that I can understand the needs and routines of your pets. My goal is to meet your needs and keep your pets happy and healthy. I normally go into work at noon, so I am looking for jobs in which I can pop in during the morning and take your dogs for a walk. I try to keep things as normal for your pets as possible. I know it can be scary for many dogs to be without their owners, so I like to preserve any routines they are used to. I tend to give the dogs more treats in the beginning so that I can earn their trust.

About: I have almost two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility, where we managed groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. Additionally, I managed dogs who boarded with us for any amount of time. This experience also includes dogs with special dietary or medicinal needs. This job also trained me in animal behavior, as well as various dog-handling practices according to different breeds, behaviors, energy levels/temperaments, and environments. Furthermore, I have several clients that I worked closely with while I was at school in Brevard, NC. I would be happy to provide references from any of these experiences if requested! I have the same work schedule every week, which is 10 am-4 pm Tuesday-Saturday every week. I will be available for drop-in visits/dog walking, and pet sitting outside of these hours! I will ensure that your pet is well taken care of each visit, including an overall body wellness check, which I am trained to perform from my professional pet care experience. I am also happy to administer any medication if needed, as I have lots of experience with this. I ensure that the pet is content physically and emotionally, so I do not limit my visits based on time; in other words, I understand that pets (moreso dogs than cats) may feel quite stressed when their owners are away, so I love to spend time with them to build a connection and love on them while I am there.

“Really great care! It was pouring down rain when Beth & Rob got here so they took my dogs somewhere dry to run out their energy . Really appreciate their care & reliability! I would definitely use them again.”

Monique P.
“Monique is an amazing, attentive and very responsible pet caregiver. I can't recommend her highly enough. She watched our two dogs, outdoor cat, and 8 chickens for us for over a week and was absolutely amazing. She sent pictures and checked in often and we were 110% comfortable leaving all our babies in her hands. It was clear that they loved her and she went above and beyond. Truly, we can't say enough good things about Monique and we would trust her with our family anytime.”

I would highly recommend her for any petsitting job.”

Skylar T.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough great things about the amazing care our dog, Chance, received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in the best hands. She was incredibly kind, responsible, and truly treated Chance like one of her own. She kept us updated with adorable photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Chance came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s obvious she has a natural connection with animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and comfortable. I would 100% trust her to watch Chance again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly fabulous, look no further. She’s the best!”

“Kylie was very reliable! She was able to add an extra visit on short notice. She even brought in a package that was on our doorstep. Our pups liked her too!”


Emma G.
“Emma Gooch cared for our cat for almost three years whenever we traveled, sometimes for time periods of about three weeks. She came twice a day, let Leo in and out, fed and watered him, and cleaned his box. She was always responsible, and took time to play with him a bit as she came and went. My husband and I valued her as a college student and friend, and several times she brought her roommates for a meal. We met her boyfriend, and her family included us in the luncheon celebration of her graduation, at which she received honors. We miss her, and are doubtful that we will ever have such a well-rounded cat sitter and young friend again.”
