“Alyssa has been great taking care of our two cats. She takes her time playing with them and make sure everything they need is taken care of. Alyssa is also a great photographer. She sent us many great pictures of our cats. We will definitely request Alyssa’s help when we travel next time”
“Kristin is a joy and pleasure to work with. Your animals will thank you!”
“Kaylan did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was out of town. She even went the extra mile and fed a stray that hangs out in my yard. He's used to me feeding him and will hopefully be part of our family soon too. Thanks!!”
About: I have always loved and been around animals my whole life. My grandparents had a mini farm and I would take care of my brother's dog when he would have to work. This care included walking, feeding, and bathing his dog. I also use to work part-time at Adams Farm Animal Hospital in Greensboro NC as a Kennel Attendant and Veterinary Assistant. I'm currently a full-time college student so I'll have time to take care of your pup whenever I don't have classes. I also work as a Dental Assistant Monday through Friday 8am-4pm. I’m still available during the week but I’m available all day all weekend. Though I stay in an apartment there are a lot of areas for your dog and me to go on long walks. My apartment complex also has a dog park. I can also crate your dog if you would like.
“She took great care of my diabetic cat, Sarah. She needs shots twice a day. Jennifer let me know what her schedule was if there were any minor conflicts where an adjustment might be needed. We have a robot litter box which, of course, malfunctioned while we were out of town. She called and FaceTime with me so we could come up with a solution. (Sometimes those litter boxes seem more trouble than they’re worth???) Came home to a clean house and a happy cat. Thanks Jennifer!!”
About: I have had my own dog for over 6 years now. I've also helped take care of multiple family/friends dogs or cats. Never had any complaints :) I have a very flexible schedule, so I am usually available any days of the week and most times of the day for whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard, and also two dogs in my home that could play with your pup to help release energy and make new friends.
“Lauren did a great job and made friends with my cats! My cats never let anyone besides me pet them and they did let her. I honestly thought she wouldn't even see them at all but they trusted her. She is a cat whisperer apparently. I would use her again!”
“Andrea was kind enough to drop in on our cats while we were gone for a week. The house looks great. The cats look well loved. Photos and videos every day were a great treat! Can’t wait for our next trip so we can have Andrea over to care for them again.”
About: I am very patient and understanding. I will work with you as much as I can. I have experience giving medications. I will update daily. I am free everyday. I can check in on them any time. I have 10+ years experience and references and reliable transportation. I can come to you if needed. I will make sure to tell the owners to give me a checklist of things that needs to be done and how to care for their pets.
“Angie was great and took great care of our three pups while i was away for work last month! Would highly recommend her for your dogsitting needs!”
“We just moved here to NC and know no one. We were planning a trip to CT and could not find a cat friendly hotel. I found Laila on here and was a little iffy. NOT about her just me. I never trusted anyone watching my babies (cats). I am so happy I took a chance. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED her. She took great care of my babies. She spent time with them, played with them, and most of all treated them like they were her own. They LOVED her! I told my cats that she wasn’t coming today and they were very sad and moped all day. I would absolutely ask her again & recommend her to everyone.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed simply being in their presence! I adore teaching old and young dogs new tricks and give exceptional care and cater to each individual pet! I also provide additional services such as bathing during the stay! I currently work part time at Ace Hardware. I am looking for a side hustle and have plenty of time to cater to your pet! I have other dogs so I do not offer pets in my home, but I offer exceptional care to dogs in your own home! I can easily put them in a crate as well as feeding them on time and taking them out to potty as needed! I will also spend lots of time with them as I very much enjoy being around animals. I have basic vet knowledge as well and can tell when something is wrong!
“Grateful for Rebecca’s drop ins with our cat! She is reliable and always sends lots of photos and updates. Definitely recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Laura is a great pet boarder and my 2 cats were very comfortable with her and her family. (Thanks so much for taking wonderful care of them.) She sent me frequent pictures and I was surprised to see my shy boy actually coming to them for pets! She was also flexible with times which was a blessing as we were traveling out of town. We would absolutely board with them again!”
About: I have experience working with animals of all breeds/species. I used to work for a boarding/daycare/grooming facility that was also connected to a vets office. I’m familiar with farm animals, dogs, cats, most small pets, and reptiles. I had my own horse for 17 years. Currently I have two German Shepherds who are both 4 years old- so I’m very familiar with working breeds! *I have experience with administering medications and animal first aid* I’m currently a stay at home mom and have full availability. More than likely my son will be with me for drop in visits- but for house sitting, arrangements can be made if necessary! With my two being a working breed we go on a lot of walks, and play a lot of fetch. But they also know how to be couch potatoes! Either way I can follow the lifestyle your pet is used to whether it be cuddles and lounging or going outside to play. I’m all about communication so pictures and daily check ins are something I like to provide!
