“Jessica watched our three cats on short notice over the holidays and took great care of them! She was very responsive, reliable, and went above and beyond. I also appreciated how well she communicated. I would definitely ask her to watch our kitties again!”

“Heather is amazing. We had to cancel the drop-in and visit request, but yet, she was extremely accommodating and understanding to our last minute cancellation so we paid her in full to show her our appreciation and sincere gratitude and apology:”


“Avery was awesome with our cat! She updated us with photos and briefed us on how her visits with our kitten went. She was flexible and accommodating with schedule changes and very communicative. We would definitely recommend Avery to all pet owners. We would love to have her again.”


About: I have ample experience caring for pets and would love to love on your fur baby, like I care for my own golden retriever, Dolly. I work full time but have extra time to care for your 4 legged baby in my free time. I have a golden retriever myself! I respect clients’ requests and work timely and promptly to ensure I am on time with potty and walks. I love walking with pups myself!

About: I have experience in the boarding kennel field for almost 10 years now and grooming for about 4 years. I can administer medicines and I’m not afraid to clean up messes after your fur babies. I have worked with big breed and small breeds and everything in between! No pup has ever scared me away from this field of work! I have 4 dogs of my own, from a Cane Corso to a small Lab mix with two Pitbulls in between. I love going on walks probably just as much as your fur baby. I can spend time with your pups Thursday - Friday 8:30 am to 2 pm and Friday to Sunday 8:30 to whenever you need. Every other day during the week I am spending time with my daughter while she’s out of school and my husband when he is home from work! If my schedule is conflicting with the times you pick, we can try and work around it. So hopefully we can work something out. I am flexible with whatever you or your fur baby will need. Even if its a belly rub... (For the pup haha) I cant wait to meet you and your pups! I sadly do not have the space for boarding your fur babies at my own home as I already have 4 fur babies myself and a toddler. But in your own home, I will follow every rule or instruction you provide and give them my full attention!

“Megan was willing to help us out SUPER last minute. So grateful! She was great with communication and any modifications I had she was happy to help. So glad our boys were able to be home versus boarding they are much less stressed and without her it wouldn’t have happened!”


About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was a little girl and have taken special care of all kinds of animals for well over 10 years including friends, family and my own as well! With my daughter in school now and currently working a part time job as a front desk assistant, I will have plenty of time to play and care for the needs of your fur babies! I will come to the clients home at your convenience. I also enjoy going on walks if allowed and making sure your animals get the care they need!

“Kristen was very reliable. Loved the pictures she sent me. This was the first time I’ve left my babies but after the first day of receiving their report and pictures my anxiety disappeared! Thank you, Kristen!”


“Lucia is the BEST pet sitter! She did an excellent job caring for Cassidy and Kevin and kept me up to date the entire time I was out of town. She gave me such peace of mind. She made sure Kevin got the play time he needed each day and Cassidy got to walk and sniff as much as she wanted. We highly recommend Lucia!”


“Sharon was sooooo good! She goes above and beyond to care for your pets and is so responsible and kind! Our elderly cat loved her and we felt very safe and secure with her coming into our home! She is very trustworthy and responsible. Will absolutely book her again!!”


“Melissa has been a great help for us with weekly check-ins for our puppy. She's responsive to messages, sends pics of the pup, and graciously cleans up after our little gal if necessary. We're so thankful to have found her services! :)”


About: You go away? Pet needs to stay? I’m here to play! I have always loved dogs and cats and lived with one or both almost every day of my life. Once I see an animal I love and care for them as if they were my own. When you leave your animal with me, they will miss you, but they will still feel very loved while you’re gone. I have experience with administering medication and I am comfortable cleaning up typical or atypical messes or accidents. Petsitting is my passion. I love dogs and cats so much but there’s only so many I can keep in my home, so when you hire me, I guarantee your pet will feel loved when you are gone. Work-wise, pet sitting is my #1 priority. If I sit in your home, I will “live” there, as much as is comfortable to you. I have 2 friendly cats, a private, quiet and spacious backyard to run and play with a 6ft fence surrounding the house and garage, with a motion detected flood light. I live with my boyfriend who recently completed his rabies shots after trying to rescue a cat that he witnessed being hit by a car but could not leave it to suffer. We both grew up caring for animals of our own and fully believe that animals deserve every good thing we can give them. We have a baby gate that allows our cats to get to their food and litter boxes and will prevent the dogs from getting to the cat spaces. We have a kitchen, dining room, living room and a bedroom for dogs to spend time with me or have alone time in their crate (at least in their own space if they’d prefer). If I pet sit in your home, I will care for your animals and home as if they were my own. I will try to keep their lives as normal as possible, play with their favorite toys, talk and sing to them.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up on a farm in Missouri surrounded by dogs. After leaving Missouri, I adopted a senior boxer named Lucy who taught me so much about patience and love in her final years. I’ve raised my golden retriever, Parker, since he was a puppy, and a few years ago I rescued my cat, Groot, who’s now a spoiled (and deeply loved) part of the family. Whether it’s a high energy pup, a wise old soul, or a quirky cat, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. Right now I’m working part time, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I have the time and availability to give pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do in my spare time. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to build regular time into my schedule for it. During drop in visits, I make sure your pet gets the care and attention they’re used to in their own space. I stick to their normal routines, whether that’s feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just some company and affection. I’m attentive to their mood and energy level, and I always aim to leave them feeling calm, safe, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

“Jake did a great job caring for my cat while I was away, and she was very comfortable with him. He was always punctual and closely followed her care instructions, including giving her the medication she needs. Thanks!”


About: I will go the extra mile to make sure your pup is well loved, hydrated, fed, and exercised. I am new to the area and am eager to explore with a furry friend that I cannot financially support currently, so I will love and care for it like my own. I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.

About: I have owned several dogs and cats throughout the years. I love animals, they are part of the family. My friends and family have always trusted me to take care of their pet(s) when needed. Being dependable and caring are key. I am only working part-time, caring for pets. Working with animals is something I truly enjoy. My schedule is flexible and I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I usually only have one pet at a time staying with me so I can provide the right amount of attention and love your pet is looking for.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s dogs of all ages since I was young! I’m experienced with dog walking/sitting, feeding, and administering medications. I also have a 9 month old puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pet is well taken care of! I’m currently a stay at home dog mom. This allows me to be very flexible during the week for all of your dog walking or drop-in visit needs! I am a caring and trustworthy dog lover! When coming to your home, my main priorities are to ensure the comfort, safety, and happiness of your pet!

“Taylor was very communicative and professional at every step of our first pet sitting experience together. Very easy to get in touch with and patient and provided excellent care to both my dog and cat. Would love to have Taylor come by to take care of them again!”
