About: I’ve been taking care of many different animals since childhood and I am a new attending student of NC State University to become a veterinarian and to expand my knowledge to help all creatures I can! Pet care fits into my lifestyle because it is helping to give me more hands on experience and unexpected emergencies while attending veterinary school learning. I have a fenced in back yard my 3 dogs run the yard and love it. My own pets eat twice a day unless they obviously what more, same with my 3 cats. All my pets get along and love each other very much.
“She is very kind and patient with my high energy dog! He has separation anxiety and it makes me feel so much better that he gets to spend his afternoon walks with Stacy!”
About: I’ve had a love for all animals since I was a small child. Over the last 14 years I have developed a special bond with dogs specifically. My husband is a dog handler so our lives all filled with all things that involve dogs. If I have the opportunity to care for your pup you can rest assured that he/she Will be loved as if they were mine. I especially have a love for big dogs 🐕 I will be home full time to ensure your pet gets proper care, love and exercise. We have a huge yard to ensure lots of puppy play time. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around. I have a retired military working dog who does lots of laying around and a working dog who plays outside most the day and sleeps in the crate at night.
About: I will love your dog or cat as if they were my own. I have fostered and volunteered with local rescues and have probably fostered around 40 dogs and cats in my life time. I am able to help soothe nervous pets and start working on commands. I don’t mind taking “reactive” dogs, just let me know that they are “reactive” so I can best prepare. I have had several fosters that had a bite record but by the end of their stay with me they were a completely different pup as they began to trust the world again. I honestly like fur babies more than most people. There are no children in my home and I have a Chi Pug Mix and Husky, both submissive. I do work full time week day schedules are as follows: Leave home at 7:15 am Return on my lunch to let dogs out/provide enrichment 12:15pm-1pm Return home for the day at 5pm Unless volunteering (will be scheduled around boarding/day care) I’m am home at least 75% of the time on weekends and evenings. I have a large fenced back yard and have baby gates for additional separation/in case your pup is a runner when doors are opened (please let me know if this is the case). I also have a “office” where 1/2 is set up for dogs that need separation as well as two additional separate spaces should the pup need to be separated. I will treat your furbaby as if it is my own and I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom where safety is my number one priority.

About: Growing up my family has always had pets, I am able to take care of multiple animals at a time. I have a flexible schedule, with 3 years of professional pet sitting experience as well as working as a kennel lead at a dog daycare/boarding facility & a Rescue Specialist. Besides taking care of my own animals on a daily basis, my schedule is fairly flexible. I do not take on more than 2 jobs at a time so that I can properly provide care. Able to work weekends and overnights upon request. Prices are negotiable! Along with letting dogs outside for potty breaks and play time, I also can pick up dog poop upon request. Typically if I care for your animals for more than a few days, I will ask you what day your trash is collected and put it outside. I can also collect mail from mailboxes so it doesn’t pile up, clean floors that have pet hair, wash food and water bowls and can wash bedding if I need to stay the night. When I leave my house my older dog is left to roam while my younger dog enjoys her cage. Animals fed and watered twice a day and dogs let out every 4-6 hours if I’m home, typically no more than an 8 hour work day if I am not. Kitty litter is scooped and then changed once a week.

Mary S.
“MaryBeth has watched my dogs on several occasions for upwards of a week at a time. She spends lots of quality time with them every day. One of my dogs is 13 years old and has various medical needs. MaryBeth does a great job of giving my senior girl everything she needs from extra bathroom breaks to her rather complicated feeding and meds schedule. My other dogs are rowdy and young and love to play. MaryBeth makes sure the get to run and play fetch everyday. She also sticks to their training routine so that they dont regress while I'm away. Everytime I leave town I know that when I come home my house will be in order and my animals will be happy. Even my cat loves MaryBeth!”

Allie H.Star Sitter
“Allie has been a God send! We have 5 fur babies one with a medical condition which requires very specific care and twice daily medication. Until we found Allie I almost never went anywhere and when we did I always would bring my guys with. She takes excellent care of all of them and gives them so much love. One of the most valuable things I think she did was to sit down with our family and really get to know what is important to us. She spent time getting to know everyone individually. My dogs absolutely love her! I also really appreciate her constant updates and pics while away. She understood I would probably check in 5 times a day but didn’t have to because she was already on it. She asked pertinent questions as needed. I return home to happy healthy dogs and a house that looked exactly the same as I left it in. She’s our only choice In pet sitter’s because I know I don’t have to worry about anything and I can enjoy my time away.”
