“Tiffany has been walking our dog during the work week for a month or so now and has been excellent. Ozzy is a bit anxious with new people but after a few days he warmed right up to Tiffany and has really benefited from the time he spends with her. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“I highly recommend her as a dog walker. She is reliable, dependable, and always available when her calendar says she is. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and responsible hands. My dog is always happy and well cared for after every walk, and it’s clear she truly loves and understands animals. I trust her to always show up on time, handle my dog with care, and treat him like her own. I truly appreciate her consistency and the trust I can place in her to take great care of my dog.”

About: I have walked, taken care of overnight, and trained dogs for the past 5 years starting from the puppy stages to older dogs. I also have a dog of my own that I have raised from 6 weeks old and she is now 6 years old. I am very flexible and have tons of time for your pets! Just message me what you need and I will definitely make it happen! I am very playful with dogs when I go to see them. I love going on walks and do playtime with them. I also do not mind bathing, taking them to the park or anything a client can think of that they would like me to do with their dog.

About: My family has owned dogs since long before I came along. And thus, I've taken care of everything from chihuahuas to goldens and working line german shepherds. I started caring for them myself when I was about five and haven't stopped since. I've raised multiple litters of puppies, assisted in dog training, given both injections and oral medicine daily, and am capable of caring for anything from new born puppies to elderly dogs. I am currently a student and have classes Monday through Thursday, but I have plenty of time between classes and on weekends to help care for your critters!! I can't do boarding at my place due to living in an apartment, but I can do any kind of care needed at your place! I can play and keep them near like I do with my dogs, I can feed, give medicine, clean up after them, crate them, whatever's necessary! Just tell me how you want it done!

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 8, I've always loved animals, and I spent time in senior care when I was younger as well. I will follow any and all instructions for pet care in my clients home. I love to run around and play so I'm very good with energetic pets as well. I work out a lot so bigger dogs won't be an issue either. I will take care of all pets to the best of my ability.

About: What sets me apart is my real hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs in different home environments. I’ve pet sat for 3 different families and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently a student at UNCW and am looking to pet sit during my free time. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about animals, and I would love the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away. In the client’s home, I will maintain the environment exactly as I found it. I will carefully follow all instructions provided and in unforeseen situations I can navigate them by using my experience caring for pets to handle any situation responsibly.

About: Hi!! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, mainly mid-sized/larger breeds, and taken care of their medication, food, play and exercise needs whenever my family would be out of town. Over the past three years, I’ve worked with multiple different families and truly love creating a safe, happy place for your fur child, as well as making sure you know your pet is being well cared for! I provided full time care for weekends and vacation weeks, including keeping to the owner’s preferences for number of walks and feeding times, playing throughout the day, and administering meds as appropriate. I’m your dog’s number one fan, as well as photographer (so you’ll definitely get some cute photos of them too). I’m a physical therapist, and I’d love the opportunity to help out with your pet care needs. Currently I’m located in Wake Forest until mid-August, then I’ll be moving to Wilmington to start my full-time residency! Additionally, I’m very active and love to run, so no worries about me keeping up with any high-energy pets! The majority of my experience is house sitting, so I ensure both the dog’s needs and house needs are taken care of. This may include bringing in packages, watering the plants, etc. I do have a car, so I have some flexibility with distance.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities! I’ve looked after multiple pets for friends, family, and clients; providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand the importance of providing patient, attentive care and making pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I previously worked at a dog park, where I gained hands-on experience reading canine body language, understanding dog behavior, and safely managing interactions between dogs of different temperaments. This experience has taught me how to recognize stress signals, prevent conflicts, and ensure every pet has a positive, safe experience! Im currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the week/weekend! I work from 9am to 5pm 3 to 4 times a week, but my schedule can be adjusted depending on you and your pets needs! When caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any household rules. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping the home clean and secure. When caring for pets in my apartment, I ensure the client knows I have a cat of my own, who loves dogs and enjoys the company of having another furry friend around the house! I also live in a very walkable part of town, so walks will not be an issue, as well as a dog park only a few steps from my apartment!

“Sadie S was the best walker Gizmo has ever had. She was very reliable, patient, honest and kind. She was so good with my not so always people friendly Chiweenie. He loved his walks with her. I noted honest because when she contacted me, she explained that s she could only walk gizmo for two weeks because she was relocating and she understood you know if I wanted to go with somebody else and I appreciated that honesty. Very sorry to see her go.”

About: I have always loved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a kennel technician for over 2 years, and have fallen in love with providing special care towards animals. There, I create safe play groups, feed, walk, play, and of course, clean! I will make sure to pay close attention to any special needs your pet may have. Accommodating to your dogs energy level, temperament, age, and health is very important to me. I will ensure to pay very close attention to any issues or concerns I may see while spending time with your pup. I believe maintaining a clean and tidy environment is important to an animals health. I will provide updates with messages and pictures about our time together. I look forward to hanging out and connecting with you and your pet! I am currently a college student, working an odd schedule. I will try to accommodate accordingly to whatever fits best for you. I make your pets needs and care a #1 priority, next to school work of course. I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things. Along with training, I always make sure to spend quality time with my puppies because we are what’s most important to them. I believe playtime is very important to keeping a dog young and healthy! In any clients home, I make sure to spend as much quality time with the clients dog to build a strong connection.

It’s always nerve-racking when you have to find a last-minute dog sitter. Especially hiring someone you don’t know and probably do not have time to meet them. Well I can say that I am so happy that I had Alexandra take care of my pup while I was away. She accepted the last-minute appointment and I was quite pleased with her service. She was professional and a great communicator. She always informed me when she was on her way to my home and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her and I personally will be using her again when there is the need.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
