Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!

Susanna and her husband are the epitome of great pet sitters. We left very last minute for a family emergency and they both took on the job and did great at it also. Going above and beyond to make sure my house was cared for while we were gone when that wasn’t part of the job description. Definitely rebooking with her for our next family vacation. Thank you guys!

Blakely is amazing. She came to meet my girls before hand so they wouldn’t be scared when she came to look after them. The little report card that came after her visit was so informative and let me know my girls felt very comfortable with her.

About: Hi, my name is Taylor! I am a recent high school graduate who will be attending NC State University in the fall to study Animal Science. I have past experience with pet sitting, often for longer than a week. Along with that, I have over a year of experience shadowing at a local veterinary hospital. I also have experience taking care of my own fur babies at home! I would love to spread love and care to your pets if you’ll have me. Please reach out if interested! I currently work part-time at Chick-fil-a, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I have a flexible and light schedule which allows me to dedicate a lot of my time to the animals around me. When at a client’s home I love to curl up with a good book and a sweet cat. I also enjoy taking pups on walks and playing fetch or tug with them. I am always down to cuddle with any furry friend.

Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our pup adored her and looked forward to every visit. She was so accommodating we added an extra day. She sent tons of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We don’t leave him often, but knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for made all the difference. The comfort and reassurance Ashley provided were truly invaluable.

About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats along with any other pet you can think of. My first job was pet/house sitting for a family friend every other month. Now that I am older, I recently adopted a dog of my own! I love taking her on walks, playing, and going to trails and taking her hiking with me! I also have experience with farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, horses, pigs, and even donkeys! I currently work part time and go to college so there is plenty of time to ensure proper attention and play with your pets! I am available early mornings and throughout the day depending on work and school schedule. I am more than willing to accommodate differentiating schedules. I crate trained my puppy and she has acclimated very well. I will make sure to follow all pet parents schedules and preferences whether that be crate training or free roam.

About: I have been taking care of pets for 40 years. I have experience with both large and small breeds. I am patient and realize that each pet has it's own personality and needs. I also sit for dogs on deployment which is a pet sitting service for military pets in need while their parents are deployed. I absolutely enjoy being around pets and that shows in my interaction with them, I talk to them and play with them so they are not only getting the attention they need but also using up the extra energy they may have. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own because I realize that they are an integral part of your families and are like children. I work from home so I can be at your pets disposal at all times. I alternate every few hrs of playtime to a rest time so pets aren’t overly stimulated I have a fenced in yard so I allow them to just run off leash and interact with each other or with my two dogs .

About: I adore dogs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have house broken puppies and taken care of senior dogs and all ages in between. I know how to give medication to dogs, both oral and injections. I love playing with dogs and taking them outside to run around! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society and took care of the dogs there. I also fostered dogs until they could be placed in a good home. I have a part time job with flexible hours so I’m free a lot. I can usually take a new pet sitting job on one day notice. I’ll take very good care of your fur babies! I will feed them, take them out for walks and potty breaks, give treats as allowed and play with them as much as they want. If they let me I’ll snuggle with them too! I also take care of cats and I’ll feed them, scoop litter boxes, give treats as allowed, play with them and snuggle if they let me. I also have a lot of experience with smaller animals like rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, and fancy rats! I can feed them, clean their cages and play with them if it’s ok with the owner. I have experience giving oral medication and injections to smaller animals. I can take care of birds and fish as well. I will give your babies loads of attention and affection! We will have fun together! If I’m house sitting I’ll be glad to water plants and bring your mail in if you want. I’ll take pictures of your fur babies every day and send them to you, whether I’m there for a drop in visit or house sitting.
