About: Experienced with puppies to senior dogs. Love long walks and playing catch. Reliable, caring, and attentive to special diets and routines for happy, healthy pets. I’m a teacher with extra free time this summer and would love to spend it with your pup! Walking is my favorite stress relief, and since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m looking for some quality dog time. I’m available to walk your dog up to three times a day—or more if you'd like! I can also stay awhile to feed and pet your pup. Your dog will be in caring, dependable hands—and I’ll treat them like family. I try to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for your pet. I follow your routine—feeding, walks, playtime, whatever they’re used to—so they feel safe and happy. I give lots of love, attention, and belly rubs, and make sure they get the care and company they need while you're away.
“Kira did great with our animals! Thanks for helping out when we had to go out of town at the last minute. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Could not be better!”
“Maggie's a terrific sitter. She is quick to respond, attentive and flexible. We returned from our trip to find the dogs in good shape and happy.”
“Amber did a fantastic job. It was the first time we had gone on a trip in a while because we worry so much about the dogs. We knew they'd be fine with her though. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
“Cate immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our furr babies would be well taken care of. And, they were! She was amazing with communication and punctuality and our animals loved her. She is someone that you can trust with your beloved animals. It is a game changer for us in our ability to go away and be able to truly relax knowing someone who is responsible, and so kind and loving is with our furry kids. Highly recommend!”
“Maria did a great job with drop-in visits for my 2 cats. I appreciated that she communicated often with updates and that she was dependable. My social girl took right to her and my shy boy even came out to play on the last day.”
“Great communication and reliability, availability and dependability.”
About: I am a life-long animal lover and advocate. I have nearly 2 decades of pet care experience ranging across various animal species, age, temperaments, and conditions. My schedule is quite flexible and I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furmily needs! I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I am freely available for visits. I’m also generally available on weekend visits as well. From a wellness and care perspective, I aspire to treat every animal as if it were my own. Just to speak a bit about them…I have 3 fur babies at home, 1 Pyrenees mix, 1 Cattle dog mix, and 1 feline fuzzball. Each of the dogs get ample exercise, enrichment, and treats every day. I pride myself on being a cat-dad just as much as a dog-dad so the fuzzball gets his own enrichment and support each day as well :-)
“Megan did a great job! She took time to let our cats get comfortable with her and that is kind of a challenge with our Keller who is essentially blind and quite skeptical of meeting new people. Megan posted pictures and videos showing how they responded to her so well. She kept us up to date on her visits giving us confidence that they were in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I understand that each dog has unique needs, and I approach every one with patience, compassion, and respect. I’d love to meet your dog right where they are and celebrate everything that makes them special! As a college student working part-time, I have plenty of extra time throughout my day that I’d love to spend with your dog! I am especially available in the early morning and evenings. Unfortunately at this time I can’t book house sitting appointments for more than 3 nights. My main goal is to make your pet comfortable! I understand that every pet is unique so I try to tailor my care to meet their specific needs. From playtime to cuddles, my intention is to keep your pet content and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I am a proud dog mom! I love spending time with dogs. I enjoy going on long walks, playing fetch, and giving snuggles and pets. I am currently transitioning out of the education field. I will be on summer break for all of June and July. I am hoping to find a remote position after that. I have a very flexible schedule which enables me to be flexible with pet care. I have own one dog who is five years old. He is loving and playful towards other dogs. I have a fenced in back yard. I have a dog door that can be inserted when needed. I live in a very walkable neighborhood that connects to the greenway. I also enjoy going into Pisgah National Forest almost daily for hikes.
About: As a pet owner for over 25 years, I know how valuable it is to have a reliable person caring for your animals when you're away. I was recently laid off and would like to have a job working with animals instead of people ( at least for now). I took care of animals and house sat in my twenties and have plenty of experience with dogs and cats. I am currently unemployed, so I'm available anytime. My daughters both have plans for the summer, so I am very flexible on when I can work. Since I have my own animals, I prefer to care for animals in their own home. This is where they feel the safest and have less anxiety while their owner is away.
“Jennie was great and I will definitely call her again next time I travel my kitties had a great time and she was very attentive and a great communicator throughout my trip.”
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.
“Ginger did a wonderful job taking care of Tiger while we were out of town. She was on time, which is very important when you have a diabetic who has to eat and have insulin on time. She loved on him and took a cute picture for us.”

“Haley has been absolutely amazing with my dog Wilson! I travel frequently for work, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring and capable hands. Haley is reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals—you can tell from the way Wilson lights up when he sees her. She sends regular updates and photos, which I really appreciate, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure Wilson gets the exercise, attention, and care he needs. I trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. Four paws up!”
