About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.

About: I am a mother of two grown children. I have had rabbits and dogs as pets since I was a child. For the past 7 years my husband and I have rescued 8 cats and 4 bunnies. At this point we live in “their house.” I work remotely and have lots of love and care to offer. I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility. I am physically very active for an animal that needs lots of movement. I can essentially set my own schedule. I have a fenced yard and 1-2 bedrooms that can be utilized exclusively for a visiting pet. Local park within walking distance. Meticulous in housekeeping and prioritizing needs of animals.

“Great service and my pups love her! Thanks so much!”

About: I am a very caring person who loves all animals. I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old and have also helped raise my sister’s cats. I love to give all pets the love and attention they deserve. I can house sit, walk, check in, bathe, or whatever you may need to help care for your pet. I work from home most of the time so I can be flexible to you and your fur baby’s needs. I have raised dogs of pretty much any size so no dog scares me. I can’t wait to meet your sweet pets! I work from home 3-4 days a week so I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet. I can work weekdays or weekends, days or nights. I take care of pets by trying to give them the same love and attention as they would get from you. I try to make them feel comfortable and right at home as much as possible.

About: I think my personalities and empathy sets me apart from others!! I love to treat other the way that I want to be treated. Therefore, I’ll treat your pet with love and care! I’m home from college so I don’t have anything to do. So my schedule is very open and flexible! So I can bring my attention to give your pet love and care! I’m very respectful of others property and things. So if you allow me to come into your home you wouldn’t even know I came in there!

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.

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.

“Very reliable, great communication, and very responsible! Would book her again!”

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: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

About: When I was 3 we had cats in the house and a dog. As I got older we had more cats and dogs. I have always been around them. I currently have 2 labs & a beagle. I have experience with elderly dog care, puppy, administering medication & monitoring input and output. I do know how to clip dog nails & clean their ears as well as bathe them. I am a full time mom and I stay home with our 3 children. My children love to be outside so we spend a lot of time outside playing with our dogs. We have a fenced backyard - about .4 acres fenced in. We live in a development and go on walks with our dogs. We have built in dog crates in our entertainment center where dogs could sleep if needed. We also have a dog fence we could make a play area for.

About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is 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.

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 have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).
