About: I've taken care of Cats, Dogs, Guinea pigs, Rats, Ferrets, and Anoles. All animals are family and they should be loved and cared for as such. I work freelance as an illustrator. Working remote gives me the flexibility to be there for your fur family when they need care, company, and connection. My partner and I have a six year old cat named Roger. He needs his arthritis meds every day and needs company when he eats.

About: With over five years of hands-on experience in animal care and kennel work, I’m passionate about providing the best for our furry friends. Currently, I work at a veterinary office, where I continue to deepen my knowledge and skills. I'm always on the lookout for training opportunities to enhance my expertise and ensure every pet receives top-notch care. I truly believe that a happy pet makes for a happy owner, and I’m dedicated to making that happen! I maintain a flexible work schedule, allowing me to ensure that pets are let out a minimum of three times a day—or more as needed. I am dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care to meet each pet's individual needs. Based on my experience, I prioritize caring for pets in the safety of their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. This environment not only reduces stress but also fosters a sense of trust. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of each pet and am always ready to adapt my services to meet their needs, providing reliable support tailored to each client’s preferences.

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that means a walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and in good hands. I currently work a flexible remote job that leaves plenty of time to do checkins and provide pet care. My 17 year old sister loves animals as much as I do and can accompany me to give them twice the love. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. During each check-in, I make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of love and attention, clean up any accidents if needed, and ensure they have a safe, clean environment. For walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, avoiding hazards, and walking at a pace that’s appropriate for the dog’s age, size, and energy level. I make sure they have time to exercise, explore, and take bathroom breaks while always monitoring their comfort and well-being. After every visit, I send detailed updates with photos so pet parents know how their pet is doing. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and gives owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“Gabrielle did such an amazing job with my pup Opie! She really took the time to get to know her and her needs! I can’t recommend Gabrielle enough for anyone looking for a summertime walker!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, I’ve had all kinds of animals. I’ve had rabbits and guinea pigs, and many types of dogs. I am currently in school working on getting my vet tech certification, and I have worked at a pet boarding facility before along with a vet office! I am currently in school virtually and working full time doing detailing, so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t start my work day until abt 10:30, classes are set at my own pace, and I typically finish my work day around 2:30/3 just depends on how long the detail takes me. So my schedule is very flexible and I have the ability to work around it! I live in a townhome apartment complex with 2 cats and a dog. I allow my pets access to everything in my home, same would go for your pets as well! My cats and dog are friendly, and I always leash my dog when taking him outside to use the bathroom or for walks. All my pets are spayed and neutered, and up to date on all their vaccines and on flea and tick prevention.

About: I’ve worked in vet med for 4 years and can promptly handle any type of emergency. I am comfortable medicating dogs and cats of all ages, and I can perform CPR if necessary. I have also worked at doggy daycares taking care of 100+ animals at a time. I have been pet sitting since I was in high school, and I care for each animal as my own! I am trustworthy, reliable, and very communicative with pet parents. My schedule is completely open right now! I am available to pet sit weekdays or weekends. I can do same-day bookings, but I would prefer at least one day’s notice to stay overnight. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have one senior husky, one middle-aged mutt, and one young cat in my own home. They are all healthy and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. They are well socialized and get along with other dogs really well. I am happy to take your pet on walks if that is what they need to get their energy out as well!

About: I've owned dogs and taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 6. I have experience training puppies and am prepared to provide enrichment for high energy, low energy, young, and old pets alike. I love them all. I am currently a masters student at UNCG. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday and work with various performance groups throughout the week. My schedule is variable, so even though I am busy there are a lot of moments in between my daily tasks that allow for attention to be extended to a pet. In client's homes, I am respectful of any rules and protocol you'd like me to follow. I will stay in designated areas and follow any instructions you leave for me. If your pet is visiting me I don't have a yard, but I live in a quiet and very walkable neighborhood. I am on the ground floor of a house, so there are no risks associated with a deck or being multiple floors up in a building. Pets are welcome in all areas of my space, including on the furniture, unless you have a rule at home you would like me to reinforce as well. In my own home, pets are an extension of the family and are treated as such. I am an active person and would love to provide long walks, hiking, lake visits, and more with the permission of pet parents.

About: Through my work volunteering in shelters and pet-sitting, I have gained knowledge of animal behavior, communication, and situational awareness when it comes to potential hazards and aggressive behavior. I am working part-time after graduating from UNCG, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends at any time! I am able take your pets on walks of any length, stop by for feeding and play time, and crate large and small pets if needed.

About: I love animals I’ve had variations of animals my whole life I currently have 2 cats , 2 ferrets and one ball python . I am a dog groomer and I want to expand my work and possibly offer home grooming for a reasonable price of course <3 I work full time at as a groomer at a local business but I’m available for over night boarding and weekend boarding (anytime after 5pm on weekdays) (anytime on weekends) I have two friendly cats that I adopted from my job so they are well used to dogs and have no issue with them or loud noises they are very sweet babies and for the most part stay out of the way

About: With 30+ years of experience working with animals, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to every pet in my care. My background includes pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavior modification and training, and animal rescue. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science as well as a Master’s degree. I offer in-home boarding for dogs under 30 pounds, in-home pet sitting visits (including cat care), and dog walking services. My veterinary and caregiving experience allows me to confidently care for pets with a wide range of medical and special needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and assisting with surgical recovery—from minor procedures to major orthopedic recoveries and rehabilitation. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs and cats. Three of my own dogs have had heart conditions, and two of those also experienced seizures, so I understand firsthand the additional attention and care that medically complex pets can require. I have taken numerous obedience and training classes with my own dogs and have extensive experience with training and behavioral modification. While your pet is in my care, my goal is not simply to keep them safe, but to help them feel happy, comfortable, loved, and enriched while you're away. A Family Home for Your Dog I am a mom to three wonderful, animal-loving daughters and serve as the North Carolina Rescue Coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I currently have three dogs of my own, and our family regularly welcomes foster and boarding dogs into our home. My children and dogs are accustomed to having new furry friends join us and genuinely enjoy welcoming them! Our boarders are treated just like our own pets. They are welcome throughout our home, including on the furniture, and are included in our normal family routine. I'm home most of the time, and when I do need to leave, it's generally for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. Our home also features a secured, covered deck attached to a fenced yard, giving the dogs a safe and enjoyable outdoor space to relax and play with us. We use baby gates throughout the home where appropriate to help prevent accidental escapes through doors, unsupervised access to stairs, and other potential safety concerns. Because I want to provide a calm, personalized experience, I do not board dogs from multiple families at the same time. Your dog will receive my full attention rather than being one of many dogs in a crowded boarding environment. Additional Grooming Services While your dog is in my care, I can also provide minor grooming services, including: Baths Nail trims Anal gland expression Teeth brushing Ear cleaning Paw and facial hair trims Brushing Requirements for In-Home Boarding To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, dogs staying in my home must: Be comfortable and experienced around children and other dogs Be housetrained (pee-pad trained dogs are not accepted unless they are puppies) Be current on vaccinations or have proof of appropriate titer levels Be maintained on heartworm and flea prevention Be neutered if male Be spayed if female, or not be in heat during the boarding stay Be crate trained, which is important for their safety during the brief periods when I need to leave the house Pass a required meet-and-greet before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog—and that your dog is a good fit for our family You will need to provide your dog's regular food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off are available by appointment only between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. My philosophy is simple: when your pet is in my care, they are treated like family. I want you to have peace of mind knowing that your dog or cat is receiving experienced, attentive, individualized care from someone who truly understands animals and loves what she does. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dogs and children. When I do need to leave, it’s just for quick errands or driving the kids somewhere. I’m available midday each day, for walks and drop-in visits for cats, farm animals, etc. We have a fenced yard, gates throughout the house, and deadbolt all doors to ensure we take extra time to secure dogs before entering and exiting.

“Buddy loves macie. Great communication and updates.”

About: My mom was a vet tech growing up and I have been around dogs of all sizes my whole life. I was raised in a home where every dog deserves a chance, no matter their health or their behavior and it has carried over with me into adulthood. Whether it is doggy day care, house sitting, or in-home boarding, I have experience in doing them all. I am local to parks, and I have a nice sized back yard that is perfect for playtime. I can tend to whatever the dogs may need energy level wise. I also enjoy walking all dogs when I exercise. Once play time is over, we have plenty of space in the house for relaxing and sleeping. I am home most of the time, so the dogs won’t be stuck alone for hours on end. I work from home, so there will not be much of a time that the dogs will be alone. I can cater to whatever the dogs need. I do prefer a crate trained dog for if/when I do leave the home for safety for both my home and the dog itself. The back yard is a huge hit for the dogs when I dog sit them. I am able to separate dogs if I have multiple, if needed. We have plenty of trails to walk, a local park with a walking track. Dogs are allowed on furniture. I have plenty of bones, toys, blankets, and anything to make your dog happy and comfortable.

“Katie has been wonderful with our huskies! Our huskies are crazy, especially our boy husky, and we have had nothing but good experiences. Our dogs know what time she usually comes and days we don’t have Katie come they are waiting for her still. Katie is very kind and friendly. We’ve super appreciated the help!”
