About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.

About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm. I’m flexible to do one time drop ins or regular scheduled drop ins! In my home, I make sure to keep your pup in a normal routine while you are away. I’m respectful and want you to come home to pup(s) just how you left them!

About: I’ve cared for dogs & cats since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!

About: I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 25 years and currently have two spunky Chihuahuas who keep me laughing every day. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from tiny lap dogs to big bundles of energy. I know how important it is to feel at ease while your pup is with someone else, so I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and cared for. I also have experience with senior dogs and pups that need a little extra patience or medication, so you can trust they’ll be in good hands. At the end of the day, I believe dogs are the best friends in the world, and I can’t wait to meet yours! 🐶❤️ I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I also live close by to Tanger outlets and the Burlington area. I have a yard for my dogs to run, play with toys and fetch. Also I enjoy walking trails at the local parks or arboretum.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.

“Patricia did an excellent job. She was patient and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Ross is super reliable and takes great care of Javy. We really appreciate the long walks too!”

Thank you for your time and consideration. I’m currently working part time cleaning houses and would have plenty of time to care for your animals.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent time on my grandfather’s farm, helping care for all kinds of animals, which taught me patience and responsibility from a young age. Over the years, I’ve also raised my own dogs from the puppy stage, so I’m very comfortable with training, housebreaking, and giving lots of love and attention to growing pets. Because of this experience, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I treat every pet like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is my priority and a big part of my everyday life. I have a very flexible schedule and am always available to give pets the attention they need. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and playtime, making sure every pet feels cared for and safe. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or late night cuddles, I’m available and ready to make pets feel at home. I live in a spacious, pet friendly apartment in a safe and quiet neighborhood, which makes it perfect for dogs to relax and feel at home. I keep my space clean, cozy, and pet proof, and there’s plenty of room for play and rest. When pets stay with me, they get lots of love, attention, and structured potty breaks. I enjoy going on regular walks around my neighborhood, which is calm and great for exercise. I make sure to stick to each pet’s normal routine for meals, bathroom breaks, playtime, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their exact instructions to keep pets happy and stress free. I make sure food, water, and medication schedules are followed closely, and I send regular updates and pictures so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

About: Professional Dog Trainer & Pet Care Specialist | Safe, Structured, Reliable ⸻ About Me With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a level of knowledge and structure that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. My background includes: • Veterinary medicine • Professional dog training • Boarding facilities • Rescue & shelter work I am a full-time dog trainer and pet care provider, recently relocated from Washington State to North Carolina to continue growing my career and offering high-quality, reliable care. Dogs in my care benefit from a structured, safe, and enriching environment. I pride myself on not just supervision, but true understanding of behavior, communication, and needs. Whether your dog is easygoing or has behavioral challenges, they will be handled with confidence, clarity, and care. ⸻ My Property & Setup Your dog will stay on a private 2.5-acre property designed for safety and structure. What sets my care apart: • Escape-proof, secure environment • Crash-tested crates for safety and comfort • Outdoor kennel runs for fresh air and downtime • Climate-controlled kennel building • 24/7 video + temperature monitoring • Strict daily sanitation protocols • Individual walks and/or structured group play • 🐶 Dog pool coming Summer 2027 This is not a chaotic daycare - it’s a controlled, professional environment tailored to each dog. ⸻ Experience with Behavior Unlike most sitters, I am experienced in handling dogs with: • Anxiety • Reactivity • Dog aggression • Human-directed behaviors • Resource guarding (food/toys) Safety is always the priority for your dog, other dogs, and myself. ⸻ Care & Supervision • Dogs are always supervised when out • When supervision isn’t possible, dogs are safely secured in a crate or kennel run • Structured routines help reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors 👉 All dogs must be crate trained to ensure comfort and safety during their stay. ⸻ Policies • Drop-off & pick-up by appointment only • 🚗 “Pet Taxi” (door-to-door transport) available weekdays only • Clear communication and punctuality are expected and appreciated ⸻ Meet & Greets To set dogs up for success, I have a structured meet-and-greet policy: ✔️ In some cases, owners may visit the property to view the setup ❌ We do not allow dog introductions while owners are present Why this matters: • Dogs are more likely to have altercations when over-aroused by their owner’s presence • Some dogs become protective or possessive • Owner anxiety can unintentionally impact the dog’s behavior This approach allows me to introduce dogs calmly, safely, and professionally. ⸻ Best fit for: • Owners who value structure and safety • Dogs who need clear boundaries and routine • Dogs who may not thrive in chaotic daycare environments ⸻ I treat every dog as an individual and prioritize safety, structure, and clarity in everything I do. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter—someone who truly understands dogs and provides a secure, professional environment—I’d love to work with you. 📩 Send a message to discuss your dog’s needs and see if we’re a good fit! Feeding times are available up to three times a day. Pups spend most of their time playing together out and about on the property, with short naps throughout the day in their kennels to allow for appointments and cleaning! All dogs are crated whenever unsupervised. As long as a human is available, the dogs are welcome to hang out about the property, in a kennel run, or chilling in the house. All kennels, crates, yards, bedding, etc are sanitized in between clients.
