About: I've always been a part of a dog and cat family. From the overly excited puppy to the scared-of-everything cat to the adventurous elderly fur baby, I am excited to meet your very own fur baby and learn what makes them special. My own pets have a few needs of their own. I’ve trained my own dogs when they were puppies, administered meds (orally and with food mixing) and have sat for senior dogs. For Sanford pets, I am able to travel for potty breaks in the later afternoons on weekdays. Regarding overnight visits, I am able to accommodate late night and early morning visits. I'm ready to treat your fur babies to a special staycation while you vacation! My yard is partially fenced, and I have a houseful of my own so I am unable to board pet clients due to a sensitive older cat. Not all paws are on board, unfortunately. For any service, including drop in visits, I require meet and greets prior to the actual service. To best accommodate first time requests, let’s plan to meet within a week of the first visit. What’s one of your favorite memories with your pet? Does your dog have a best bud they like to run around with?
“Tom and Tiffany are great. They communicate so much and so well about everything from bookings to logistics to time spent with my sweet dog. I love that they typically send 3-4 pics even for a half hour walk. Highly recommend their services and so appreciate their caring nature.”

Started out as a receptionist, then crossed trained as a veterinarian assistant! I absolutely enjoy being around four legged friends. I have open availability! I am open for ALL Holidays, you can enjoy a vacation and be stress free! I can do drop ins up to three times a day, BUT I will also take the time to love on your fur babies during those drop ins, and we will have some fun playing. All times work for me. Safety of your fur baby is my number one priority! Double checking collars and leashes is very important. Watching them eat/drink and make sure they use the potty afterwards is important.

About: Hello! My name is Peyton, and I’m 17 years old. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young and have experience with all kinds, including dogs, horses, pigs, cats, and many more. Growing up around animals has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to their needs. I’m available full-time throughout the summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while making sure all of their wants and needs are met. I’m currently available full-time throughout the summer and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and playtime whenever needed. I have a big area for tons of running and playing time, with plenty of toys and love to be given! Every animal is welcomed here, and guaranteed to be spoiled.
About: I have grown up with dogs so I am very comfortable around them! From playing fetch and going on runs to cuddles and pets I am more than happy to provide your dog with whatever they need. I know that they need lots of love and attention which I am looking forward to giving them. We have two dogs of our own, Wilbur and Goose, and I wish I could have more! But giving your pets love will do me just fine. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me. I look forward to taking great care of your pets! Luckily, I get to work remotely. This allows me a lot of flexibility of when I am able to provide pet care since I can work around my schedule easily! We are fortunate enough to have a large fenced in back yard for our pups to run freely in! Whenever they are not playing outside, they are inside with me and have the option of napping on their own couch, playing with me, or relaxing in my office.
“Lex was the absolute best match for my dogs! I contacted her the night before I needed a walk and she was flexible and agreed to walk them at the last minute! She was on time and my dogs instantly warmed up to her. She walked them for the full hour and provided great updates. Thank you Lex! I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need a walk!”

About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child - both dogs and cats! I have done it as a drop in service, staying overnight at someone else’s home, and as boarding in my own home. We love all dogs, and frequently watch our friend’s dogs of all ages. Currently live on base so must have base access for boarding! I am a stay-at-home-mom so I am home all day - your dog would never be by themselves! We let our own dogs outside to play multiple times a day, and always have water out for them. We also frequently go on walks in the evening to get that last bit of energy out. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 super friendly golden retrievers. Charlie (5) and Emma (4) are both neutered/spayed, and love other dogs. We allow them on the furniture which would extend to your pet too, but we can also crate your pet too if that’s what you prefer.
About: With over three years of professional experience working at NoDa Bark & Board, Lucky Pup, and Camp Bow Wow, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities included supervising group play, administering medications when needed, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring every dog stayed safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’m also Dog and Cat CPR certified, so your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust while providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As of right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m currently between jobs while waiting to begin graduate school in the spring, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Toward the end of August, I’ll begin substitute teaching, but my availability will still remain flexible outside of school hours. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, overnight care, or weekend attention, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Having worked professionally in multiple doggy daycare facilities, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, preventing conflicts, and responding calmly in stressful situations. As a Dog and Cat CPR certified caregiver, I’m prepared to handle emergencies if they ever arise. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels.

With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.
