“Amber is FANTASTIC! Bella loves her. I know my senior cat is in good hands.”


“Debbie is the best pet sitter I have ever, ever had. She is a fantastic communicator. She not only texts me pictures and updates, but she leaves a detailed note about each visit. She is kind and caring. Spends time with each animal petting and brushing. She made sure she had eyes on my scaredy-cat kitty so she could see he was safe at each visit. I loved that. I knew he would hide but it made me feel so much better that she looked for him. I had a friend taking care of my cats before and they didn’t realize that my cat had locked himself in my bedroom. He was locked in there for days without anyone knowing. Debbie made sure that would never happen. I am lucky to have found her here and will definitely be using her moving forward!!! Thank you Debbie!!!”


“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.”


About: I have many years of experience with taking care of dogs, including my own, friends and roommates, and others. I love to take them for walks, play to get their energy out, and relax to give them quality time. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can provide care at almost any time of day, including evening and over night visits. I have a reliable car that I use for transportation. I am comfortable taking care of pets in a client’s home, from walks, day visits, to overnight stays and more. I have experience working with family to provide care for multiple pets and have cared for multiple on my own.

“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.”


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.

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!

“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!!!”


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.

“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!”

So I am free as a bird atm. Otherwise you can find me backpacking. I am pet free myself and would stay in your home for the duration of the the stay. I am happy to care for plants too.

“Thanks so much Alan! Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of!! ❤️”


“Hannah was awesome! She kept me up to date on everything going on at home and sent lots of pictures of our cats while we were away! She really went above and beyond by cleaning out their bowls for us. We would absolutely work with her again!”


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


About: I have a big yard that I can use to play and walk with dogs. I am responsive and very loving towards animals. I have a very open schedule with being a first time mom of a 6 month old! While I do have a sweet baby girl, I also have a bunch of time outside of that. I can easily drive to your house and check in or do walks with your dogs. I would absolutely love to be able and help you with your animals! Me and my baby love to get out so this will be an exciting experience for us! Thank you! I want to provide as much trust and safety for your sweet pet. I want them to get the best care possible, I will provide as much care as they need.

“Chelsea is an incredible dog-mom and anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog sitter or walker. I’ve known her since 2017 and can attest to the fact that she is utterly devoted to the health and happiness of her own dog, Gidget. In fact, her doggie daycare uses Gidget as the friendly greeter for new pups upon first arriving at the daycare. Chelsea is a brilliant and devoted teacher and has the utmost patience for her students as well as the pets she cares for. She loves hiking the trails with Gidget and having her meet new friends. Schedule her for a meet and greet with your dog and you’ll see for yourself; she’s a catch!”

Kevin F.
“We had never met Kevin before, but we used him as a house and dog sitter for a weeklong vacation earlier this year. We have a Staffordshire terrier/lab mix who is sweet as can be with humans, but can be very dog-reactive (so we won’t board her). We had recently had a not-so-great experience with a different pet care provider so we were a bit anxious about trusting someone new with our fur baby. However, Kevin quickly put all of our fears to rest. He took the time to talk with us beforehand, asking many thoughtful questions to get to know our dog and her needs, preferences, and routine. Once the sit began, Kevin gave us frequent photo and video updates (that we had requested) that showed lots of walks, pets, and good active play. He was incredibly gracious and easy to communicate with overall. Our house was immaculate upon our return and our dog was happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend Kevin and plan on using him again anytime we leave town!”
