1. Kerrie H.

“Kerrie is the absolute best! She is so great with my pups and sent the cutest pictures while watching my fur babies! I would love to have her back- and so would the pups! Thank you! 🤗”


2. Susan E.

“Susan was great with Finley and Oakley. She went above and beyond with their care including some extra TLC for our little guy! The house was immaculate and she even helped us out with transportation to and from the airport. We will definitely ask Susan to stay with our guys again.”


3. Sara C.

“We had an amazing experience with Sara this weekend! She was absolutely fabulous—she kept in touch frequently and sent us tons of adorable pictures of our pups, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she take great care of our dogs, but she also went above and beyond by leaving us a thoughtful basket full of goodies and treats to come home to. She even washed her own sheets and linens before leaving, which was incredibly considerate. Overall, it was an excellent weekend thanks to her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”

About: I work as a middle school PE and Health teacher in Henderson County. I’ve been an educator and soccer coach for 10 years. I graduated with a degree in Psychology and Health/PE from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am a proud dog mom to Piper, a chocolate Labrador Retriever, and Toby, a Golden Retriever. The three of us are all very active and love going on long walks at the greenway and hikes on the mountain trails! My dogs are both very friendly and get along very well with other pets, regardless of their size and age! If you choose me to care for your pet(s), whether that be walking, sitting, or having them here for an overnight stay, my goal is to make sure to treat them as if they were my own- with plenty of love, attention, and exercise that I believe every dog is entitled to. If you would like for me to keep your dog overnight, the only request I have would be that you provide a crate and that he/she gets along with other dogs! I work full time as a teacher, so my availability for pet care in addition to taking care of my pets, is limited to the weekends until the end of May. Over the summer, I will have full time availability. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, play, feeding, and one-on-one attention, and I plan my weekly schedule around the needs of my pets, and the pets in my care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’m flexible and committed to keeping pets happy, healthy, and well cared for. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. In my home, pets have space to relax, play, and feel like part of the family. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things calm and consistent so pets feel secure in their familiar space.


5. Bailey C.

“We couldn't be happier with the care Bailey provided for our dogs, aka the boys. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention. It feels great knowing that when we couldn’t be there with our fur babies, that Bailey loved them like we do!”




6. Anna E.

“Anna did a great job sitting Finn and Lily. House was well taken care of and we got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. We would definitely use her again.”


7. Blakely W.

“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”


8. Ashlee M.
“Ashlee has pet sit for me on several occasions and I would highly recommend her. She has both stayed at the house for longer trips and also come in several times a day for shorter trips. Very responsible, good communication, always on time and she took very great care of my fur babies - they absolutely love spending time with her.”


9. Ellie A.

“Ellie is amazing! She just stayed with our pittie, Jackson. She did such a great job. Jackson has stomach issues, so his diet is a bit complicated. She had no issues dealing with that. The house was immaculate when we returned home. She even washed the bedding she used, and put it back on the bed! We will definitely book her again!!!!”


10. Autumn C.

“Autumn did a great job house sitting and caring for our three dogs for a week. Izzy, Roxi and Riley are very sweet but require care and attention. Izzy is the most high maintenance, she is a 5 year old Brussels Griffon and needs medication 7 times a day. Roxi is our 12yr old Min Schnauzer and has some special dietary needs and Riley is our two year old Lab with a lot of energy. Autumn took care of all of their needs and contacted me if there were any issues to discuss. She followed all of the advice we gave her on managing the dogs. In addition the home was in good order when we returned. I can recommend Autumn for house sitting and dog sitting for all types of dogs.”


11. Crystal C.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all through my life. I can do it all. I can bathe, walk, and feed them. Hope to play soon. I’m available everyday. I work for DoorDash so I’m wide open. I can even do overnights. My children are teenagers and care for themselves. Yay! I will feed, bathe, walk, and cuddle. I will be sure to give your pet all the love. I can even clean up a bit.


12. Anna M.

“Anna was so wonderful with my wild pup! She was punctual and very courteous. She provided an update and sent pictures! Rue is looking forward to seeing Anna again soon! 😄”


13. Andrea A.

“Andrea provided much comfort to us as our animals were well taken care of while we were away. She was reliable, responsible and communicated regularly with us. She took great care of the house as well as our dog and cat. We would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”


14. Nikki K.
“Nikki was patient and sweet with my boys, and communicated well with me while I was gone.”


15. Caroline T.
“Caroline is a very compassionate and responsible pet owner and sitter! Caroline has always been a huge help to me in taking care of my cats while I'm away, and I always feel comforted knowing they're in the best of hands.”


16. Anne S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young and helped friends and family with their other pets including cats. Once my own dog became sick several years ago, I decided my love for animals was much more and wanted to help others. I have cared for many types of dogs and I’m very comfortable handling any medical issues as well as social anxiety since I’ve helped mine as well as others with these conditions. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR. When I lost my 16 year old cavalier King Charles spaniel a year and a half ago, I decided to be more available and pet sit. I currently have a young, terrier mix who is a ball of energy, I’m very flexible and can do house sits, drop ins, and walks. I will take care of additional needs requested and I’m good at communicating so you will know how your loved one is doing while I’m with them. I very flexible but do currently work Wednesday evenings and usually one day a weekend. This may change to starting in May to more availability. I have a fenced in yard but live on several acres of land. My young terrier loves exploring the woods and creek. I care for senior dogs who do not have this lifestyle and have mobility and other issues that need special attention. I’ve always had my own dogs and clients who prefer them to sleep with me and are on my sofas but I tailor my care to what the owners want and is how they are comfortable.




17. Delaney S.

“Delaney cared for my two cats for about 10 days, and she is an exceptional pet sitter. Delaney maintained a consistently positive attitude while approaching pet sitting with a high level of professionalism. Delaney provided exceptional care for the cats. She exhibited a high degree of conscientiousness and compassion, ensuring the cats' wellbeing throughout the entire stay. Delaney communicated clearly by providing regular updates with adorable photos nearly every day, fostering a sense of peace of mind during my absence. Delaney communicated with me prior to the end of the sit to find out when I would return. She messaged me just prior to that time to let me know she had left the house and that the cats were happy and fed. If you seek a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter, Delaney is an ideal choice. I confidently recommend Delaney to everyone.”




18. Katie C.
“Katie is awesome at sitting my babies! I have a English bulldog (who takes a lot of attention!) and kitty and she gives them the time and care I can trust while I am away. I get photos of how they are doing and a check in to ease my nerves about leaving them. She has great communication and attention to how things are done to keep them in their daily routine. I would highly recommend Katie as a pet sitter!”


19. Ashley C.

“Ashely was amazing! She took care of all of our pets and even cared for our surprise litter of kittens for the entire week we were away. Very responsive and constantly provided updates throughout. Would highly recommend and would definitely rebook with her again!”


20. Shaylei B.
“If you want someone who will treat your pets like prince or princess Shaylei is the person for you! She is great with all animals and shows them lots of love and care. She will always put the care of your pets as a top priority. You wont regret having her care for your pets.”
