“I couldn't be more pleased with Emily's pet-sitting services! She did an amazing job looking after my dog, Pablo, and the other animals. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. Emily kept me updated with regular pictures and messages, which really put my mind at rest. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for. When I returned, the house was spotless, and the animals were relaxed and content—exactly how I left them! It's clear Emily has a real love for animals, and her attention to detail and responsibility were truly appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips!”

“Susanna watched our 3 dogs for 4 hrs. She and her husband came over for a meet and greet. After meeting them I had a good feeling that she could be trusted and would take good care of our 4 legged babies! She sent 2 sets of pictures of the kids which always makes me feel better leaving our dogs with a stranger. She and her husband are kind and decent people. I will use Susanna again when need be♥️”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Susan. She cared for our two boys as if they were her own and they took to Susan as if they’d been around her their entire life. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We definitely will be using Susan whenever we go away.”

About: I consider myself a person who has a very friendly way with pets. I take care of their needs and I am constantly attentive to their walks and any instructions given by the owner. If your pet needs any special care, just let me know; with the proper instructions, I can provide excellent care. I currently have a job, but I can choose which days to work and which days to dedicate to your pet, so there's no problem there. Rest assured, I'll be able to pay attention to your pet and play with them, and I dedicate time every day to physical activity. I would love to take your pet for a walk in a nearby park. Depending on the service required, I can also come to your home to provide care. We could have a chat and discuss your pet's needs.
“Alexa was wonderful. I can't say enough about her. Our pups quickly fell in love with her and we left knowing the feeling was mutual. We didn't worry about them nor the house at all and were able to enjoy ourselves. We don't travel much but will definitely use Alexa again!”

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely be contacting her again when the need arises. She communicated great and took exceptional care of Dozer. Thank you so much!”

“Ashley was fantastic! She got to our house right on time, stayed with our two dogs from 1/18/26 - 1-23-26. She sent a photo a day and my husband and I felt very comfortable leaving them with Ashley.”

“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”

“Victoria was accommodating and communicative. Very friendly and my pup loved her. Sent pictures and updated me every day (I was gone for a week). Thank you for being good to Myla and me!”

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. As a child I was a dog walker and had always enjoyed the companionship of dogs. I tailor my approach to each dog in an individualized way. I m comfortable around large and small breeds. I can take care of young dogs and older dogs. I interact and care for each dog as if it were my own. I have fostered over a hundred kittens and 30 puppies. My daughter is a vet tech and our house was full of all types of animals that nurtured her passion for animal care. My schedule is flexible and caring for pet is my first priority. I am always eager to meet new fur babies to care for. I’m attentive and have a keen attention to detail. Your pets will be safe and lovingly cared for when you choose to put your trust in me. I prefer to go to the pets home for care so they can be in their own surroundings. I have been doing this service for friends and family for years. I offer walks, drop-ins, and even overnight companionship. I have experienced with the smallest of critters to the largest. I have farm experience and bird experience.
About: I have background in the animal control field where I was an officer and also work for veterinary services within gaston county. Your pet will be treated like family here, animals are a huge part of my life. I have had almost every possible animal, horses, cows, cats, dogs, large and small, chickens, pigs, and even fish. I love them all. I do work 4 days during the week but am home the majority of the time to spend with your furrbabies. They will be let out in the morning before I leave for work on those days and immediately after I've arrived back home. I only work 8 hour days and outside of that I'm home the rest of the time. My yard is not fenced in but i live on a cul de sac, horse pasture and cow pasture and tree farm on 3 sides .. i prefer to walk dogs on a leash while outside ( just in case) but if they seem to be well behaved and trust worthy i may play fetch with them and my frenchie in the back yard , there are only 2 houses on my road so we do have lots of privacy. Your furrbabies will stay inside with me.
About: I've cared for and trained dogs for over 10 years, both my own and others. I've walked and watched dogs for multiple people I have over a year of experience working with dogs in a daycare group setting. I'm currently working a flexible self made schedule. Pet care is something I can easily fit into my week and something I enjoy doing very much. I've worked with all sorts of animals and have experience in giving them everything they need both mentally and physically. I have no problem spending extra time making sure your pet is happy and fulfilled after a visit.
“Ashely was amazing! She took care of all of our pets and even cared for our surprise litter of kittens for the entire week we were away. Very responsive and constantly provided updates throughout. Would highly recommend and would definitely rebook with her again!”

About: I grew up with many pets in my household ever since I could remember. We have had dogs of almost every size. I am comfortable with any breed, size and energy level. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their pets also. I work near NC State and live in downtown Raleigh. I would love to take your pet along with me on my daily walks and runs (we will see who gets tired first on the run though). I work in office MWF but have availability in the morning for walks. On Tuesday and Thursday, I work from home and can walk, feed and anything else you need. I am free on weekends to walk, feed and anything else you need. I will do my best to care for your dog by following the guidelines you have set place. I will only be a phone call away. I have a flexible work schedule and work form home some over the week. Most weekend available in Raleigh area. I have a reliable car and know the area very well. I care for your pets as though they are my own. No breed or size restrictions! I live in an apartment style setting space for dogs to lounge. Outside I also have a dog park where the dogs can run around safely anytime they need!
