“Victoria did such a wonderful job with my pups! She was very communicative and thoughtful when it came to their care. I would absolutely recommend her!!”

About: I've had dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish since I was a kid. My family also boarded/walked dogs for a while on here before. I'm very flexible so I can pretty much make anything work. I do some Uber eats as well. Not sure why it's making me put THIS many words here but it's required. I am very careful and caring for my own that I've had over the years. Right now I personally have an iguana that has a lot of particular care needs. And so I understand that everyone else wants their animals to be treated with that same amount of intention.

“Izzy was great with my German Shepherd! She was punctual and made sure he got his breakfast and medication. She took lots of pictures and left detailed updates on her visit. I would definitely trust her with my pup again! :)”

“My dog loved her and she was great at communicating.”

“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal. Whether it's a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I want your pets to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I've been caring for pets for 10+ years, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that they all have their own personalities. Some love a good walk and plenty of playtime, some would happily spend the afternoon curled up beside me, and others need a little time before deciding we're friends. I pay attention to the little things, from their routines and favorite spots to those funny quirks that make them who they are. You can expect plenty of photos, regular updates, and communication you won't have to chase down. Whether I'm stopping by for 30 minutes or making your home my home base while you're away, I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. And yes, there's a good chance they'll get a few extra cuddles along the way! 😊 Pet care is a regular part of my day, and I love having the flexibility to give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I offer morning, midday, and evening care, whether that's part of your pet's weekly routine or a little extra help while you're away. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you're away. I'll stay overnight, spend time with your pets throughout the day, and keep up with their usual meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Just like at home, I do come and go during the day for other clients, work, and everyday life. My standard overnight care is best suited for pets who are comfortable being home alone for 4–6 hours at a time. *If your pet has different needs, I'm always happy to chat and see if we're a good fit! I care for pets in their own homes, where they're usually happiest and most comfortable. I take the time to learn their routines, follow your instructions, and pay attention to the things that matter—from feeding schedules and medications to keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure. I also know that inviting someone into your home is a big deal! I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keep you updated, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing both your pets and your home are being well cared for.

About: I have been working with animals for over 30 years. I was a Vet Tech, kennel manager, and currently a pet groomer. I have worked with puppies as well as exotic animals and birds. I am very responsible and I really pay attention to detail, or any problems I see. I can do nail trims on all animals. Dogs, cats, birds, exotics and more. I am currently working but very flexible with my schedule. I am my own boss so no need for permission lol Available any day of the week. Including nights, weekends, and holidays. I currently have 3 dogs in my home. A Huge back yard in a very private neighborhood. It’s very safe and no traffic with great streets to walk.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up I was around breeds such as Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, German Shepards, Poodles and Lhasa Apsos. The first time I became a dog mom was to Zoe, a Bichon Frise. I lived in Chicago at the time in an apartment so I had to walk her multiple times a day. Bichons also need a lot of maintenance with their fur, so I’m very familiar with grooming methods of that type of breed. After Zoe, I became a dog mom to a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, Garner. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and had him for 13.5 years. I understand the level of care a puppy needs as well as a senior dog. I’m also very familiar with handling large breeds on a leash. I understand how a pet is part of the family and I will show your dog lots of love and affection, just like I would my own. I am available Monday-Friday 8am-2pm then from 6pm-8pm. I’m available 7am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact me if you need help outside of those times and I can try to work with you. I’m not able to keep your dog in my home, but I will always make sure your dog is safe in your home. I will always follow your safety protocols.

About: My experience in pet care is extensive. From helping raise and train my own family dogs as child, to working at different animal facilities, I have experience in many different/difficult situations I may face. While I lived in New York I worked at a high end Doggy Daycare and boarding facility that prided itself in creating a certified "fear free" environment for dogs. In a daycare setting I handled and monitored up to 25 dogs in a safe and ethical way. I learned how to read different dog body language cues and how to handle small to XL size dogs. I took a lot of pride in the environment I created for my playgroups so dogs could enjoy safe, fun interactions with each other. I also worked as a kennel technician at the same facility. I did potty breaks for up to 50 dogs, cleaned kennels to propers standards and provided enrichment and feeding for all of our guests. I have experience in how to handle aggressive or stand offish dogs in a safe and manageable way. I also learned a lot about animal health and helped provide care for special needs guests who may have disabilities due to age or that were on seizure watch. Any issues or concerns I had health wise were immediately brought to my supervisors so it could be brought to the owners attention. I worked at Resorts Boarding and Play in two different times for about a year and a half total. After my time at this facility I worked at the SPCA Serving Erie County as an animal caretaker. It was here I gained more exposure to different temperaments in dogs and cats and how to work with them while also cleaning their kennels so they had a clean safe space to enjoy. I enjoyed helping all these pets in desperate need and watching them come out of their shells and experience joy more and more. It was one of the most rewarding parts of that job! When I moved to North Carolina I spent a few months working at 7 Lakes Kennels as a kennel technician again. I cleaned kennels and helped pair dogs for daycare play. I handled medicine distribution to dogs who needed it, cleaned potty yards and of course, played with many dogs! I again had previous experience in handling some tougher dogs so I was comfortable in helping others with some guests who had behavioral challenges. I also did feedings for the guests under my care for the day and took everyone out for potty walks at allotted times. Although I have only professionally been in the pet care industry for about 3 years I consider most of my life as experience from also doing all pet care for my animals growing up, including pushing pills for my childhood cat who had issues with kidney function. I fed all my childhood pets morning and night. I handled supplements for my goldendoodle who had hip and joint issues later in life. I have tons of techniques to help dogs take medicine in an enticing manner. I also made sure my dogs received 20-30 minutes of intense exercise a day to meet their large dog requirements as goldendoodles. They preferred playing ball but also enjoyed added on walks. I am sincerely passionate about providing top-notch care to pets and have shown that to many previous employers who always enjoyed my attention to detail and efforts to work with the animals regardless of any behavior issues or health concerns they faced. I am stay at home as of now so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I prefer to be at home rather than out so the only time I gone really is to run errands or be at the gym. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I do walk my dogs a bit or allow them to run around outside and play with them. I have a set feeding schedule for them. Breakfast is 8 am and dinner is 5 pm. I have done both of my dogs basic obedience myself as I'm looking to advance in the dog training field. I hope to start schooling soon to get my certifications. I have used different techniques for both of my dogs as they have different temperaments. I strive to understand my dogs thoroughly and work with them rather than force them into overwhelming situations. We always start small and build from there once they show they understand a concept or become more comfortable in a new environment. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I love them very much but I finds crates are a very helpful tool to help teach self control and give them a space they can call their own. I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for me through a text message or written out on paper. If you have any concerns I am happy to communicate with you while you are away! At one boarding facility we would send out pictures every three days of a fun activity we did with the dogs to help ease owners minds. I am more than willing to do something like that for you everyday! I totally understand the worry of being away from your best friends! I do ask if your dog boards with me that they come with their crate/kennel. I find it a bit easier for a dog to decompress in a new environment if they have something that is familiar for them. Blankets that smell like you are a plus. I am more than willing to clean toys and bedding before you come to pick up your buddy again. If you want feeding done at certain times I'm happy to do that as I have a free schedule just taking care of my home. Walks, playtime and interacting with dogs are must to keep spirits up while you are away so I am happy to provide these services as well! Of course attention and love is given regardless to any pet I am watching! I am comfortable adminstering medication according to labels or any supplements/treats you provide your pets! I ALWAYS listen to and watch dogs for body language cues. I find that respecting dogs leads to a much better relationship between caretakers and friends. I have extensive training through "The Dog Gurus" my first employer provided all employees. This taught me different play styles for breeds, how to monitor health through potty habits and what to look for in concerning poop. I learned the warning signs of seizures and how to handle them as well as what to watch for if a dog may have a parasitic infection. I was also taught signs of stress and techniques to help prevent them through providing familiar scents, toys or approach. I am aware of and use certain skills in approaching nervous dogs-become smaller and less threatening by turning your back slightly and not holding direct eye contact. I always allow a dog to approach me by offering my hand from a distance and letting them decide if they want to interact or not. For dogs who were sensitive or reactive about touch around their neck while working I used a "double slip lead" technique so I wouldn't have to get into their personal space while putting a lead on them. It also made it safer to remove a lead by never having to physically touch the dog, rather gently pull one lead attached around the other and they would both safely slip off the dog. Understanding a dogs temperament and triggers is vital for me to work safely and effectively with any dog I encounter or interact with. Please always offer all information on your dog to me during a meet and greet session. I would rather have "too much" information on your dog than feel like I'm scrambling with questions later on while you are away. I enjoy working with all different types of dogs and love learning about their personalities and things they enjoy. I feel confident in my skill level and experience to provide safe, loving, enjoyable care for all your four legged family members.

I am a freelance photography stylist and often have availability bi-weekly when I am not traveling for work. Because I have run my own business for 20+ years, I am reliable and dependable.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Because I’ve always had pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your furry family members. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I’m here to provide dependable, caring support for your pets. I am currently going to Sandhills Community College and doing online classes, which means I’m available most of the day for pet care. This allows me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding schedules, and giving your pets the attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I respectfully follow the pet’s normal schedule like handling feedings, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any special instructions you provide. No matter where the care takes place, I’m committed to offering reliable, loving, and attentive service so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I've grown up caring for multiple breeds of dogs and some cats. I have adopted an older Lab Mix from a kill shelter and he is the sweetest, calm and loving dog. Large dogs are my specialty but I love smaller dogs as well. Caring for them comes natural, on top of giving them plenty of space to run and exercise. I am comfortable giving any dogs medications as I have experience giving my own the same. If there is any specification you'd like for dog boarding, I am more than positive those needs can be met. Walking dogs is an everyday activity I do to keep them mobile and active as well as myself! I just enjoy any type of companionship that comes with caring for dogs! I’m currently working from home which helps allow us to provide full time care for our animals, as well as yours! We’re able to be outside and play anytime throughout the day. We have a large fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and play outside. With cameras in the front and back yard that helps us keep a close eye on their movement to ensure safety.

“Camille is the best with my dog Kuma! She is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I feel so safe with her taling him for walks while I am at work. She gives me peace of mind!”

About: I was raised with a variety of cats and dogs for 25 years, volunteered in a shelter while I was in school, and helped with herpetological demonstrations and assisted with their care. The last few years I have had further opportunity to care for coworkers' pets as I house sat for fellow nurses traveling . I have sat for everything from dogs and cats to lizards, snakes, fish, rabbits, even horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I work as a nurse full time which allows me a relatively flexible schedule for drop in visits over the weekdays and stretches of time off for longer stays between work weeks. Flexibility is my motto; I am able to drop by for walks or let them out into the yard if there's fencing, all depending on your preference. I can free feed or work off a schedule, ect. I have worked with everyone from those asking me to just stop by to check the house and take in mail, no pets involved, to another asking for overnight stays with an anxious rescue on a feeding regimen and medication requirements.

“Hadyn has been our go to dog walker for about a year! She’s been available for last minute requests and is very communicative!”

“Taylor walked Roxi for almost two weeks while I was out of the country. She worked mostly with my mom, who said she did a great job and was easy to coordinate with. Roxi loved her. Being able to travel without worrying about Roxi meant a lot. I'd book Taylor again.”

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had the privilege of having many different breeds and mixed breeds as part of my family, so I have a lot of varied experience. You can count on me for happy paws and lots of tail wags! I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.
