“Amber was great! Bella loved her!!”


About: I am need of full time employment and have been pet sitting for friends and family for over ten years now. I absolutely love dogs and spending time with them because their love is unconditional. I grew up helping take care of my family's dog for about fourteen years and then helped raise a puppy who is turning ten in October. I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them so I feel like this is going to be the right gig for me. I am very positive and outgoing and love spending time outside. I'm currently unemployed and hoping to pick up as many gigs as I can to get a new routine started as I settled in a new location. I adjust based on the animal's needs. Some dogs I've watched have been incredibly more active and needing of attention than others, as well as cats. It's all about hearing what the owner needs for their pets while they're away to ease any anxiety they have of leaving them.

“Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.”


“Debbie is our go-to cat sitter when we go out of town. We have booked her five times now, and she provides too tier service every time. My cats adore her and it’s such a comfort to know they are so well cared for while we’re gone. 10/10, Debbie is the best!”


About: I have had dogs of many breeds and personalities all my life. I will care for your dog as my own and will enjoy getting to know them. Your pup will get lots of cuddles and positive interaction. I would love to hike or walk your pup, play fetch or tug. I currently work remote so I will have flexibility and time to spend and care for your pet while you are away and keep you updated with photos and notes about the visit. Also available for trips to the vet. Your dog's care and safety are my primary concern and I will let you know if there are any questions or concerns. Making sure your dog is happy and relaxed when you return.

“Thanks so much for checking in on the kitties!”


“Grey was amazing and I would highly recommend and will be booking again! He watched my Jack Russel and they became fast friends and my house was in great shape when I returned. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my guy!!!”


“I ended up needing a short-notice, “panic” cat check-in option from Rover before a 10-day trip. Lillie responded and communicated promptly. Her response saved my trip, She did a pre-trip visit to check out my 5 fuzzies, then dealt well with them for several food and water refill and social interaction visits. When I need cat sitting services again, I will be going back to Lillie.”


“She provided an extra special touch with her service and was VERY quick to respond to all communications. She did a truly great job and I will definitely book her again!”

About: I have been around all types of animals and pets my whole life. I don't mind taking care of any type of pet you may have from babys to seniors, cats of all breeds and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m also good with taking care of other domestic pets, exotic pets and farm animals. I only work part time so I have a lot of extra time to care for animals and enjoy being outdoors walking, biking and hiking. I can also just enjoy sitting on the porch with a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to run and play in. We have a back deck that can be closed off for playtime. Inside we have room for play and crate time if needed. My house is open and available for fur babies to relax, run, play and have pet beds for sunbathing or relaxing.

About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!

“It has been such a pleasure getting to know Brinkley and having her watch my pets. She's an awesome, positive, and very responsible caregiver and I highly recommend her! Thank you Brinkley for going above and beyond to care for my home and animals.”


“Hannah sent me photos of my cat every day and he was happy and healthy when I came back. She was also able to be flexible when I had car trouble and had to extend my trip, a real life saver!”


“Terrific service, timely updates, clear communication. Couldn't be more pleased.”

Kevin F.
“The first time I had Kevin take care of Tulsi was during an unexpected family emergency. He made a hard time a lot easier, and even sent me photos of Tulsi over the weekend at my request. He was very professional, respectful, and compassionate and communicated well with me and bonded nicely with Tulsi. He seemed to genuinely love animals and I felt confident leaving my friend under his care. Now, I call Kevin every time I need to be away, and Tulsi always greets him at the door. I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for quality petcare.”
