About: I’ve provided pet care for multiple families and friends, caring for dogs and cats of many different breeds, sizes and energy levels. I'm comfortable with everything from relaxed cuddle time to high-energy play, walks, and structured activity. I treat every pet as my own with focus on safe & healthy visits. From house sitting, to walks, to just dropping in, I love keeping your pets company and in turn they keep me company as well! I work full time but I work from home 2 days a week making my schedule during the week very flexible and my weekends are open as well. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for your space. I will carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and household guidelines to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure to keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets closely, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Stephanie has been so sweet to our animals during drop-ins, and they love when she visits! She was reliable, trustworthy, and kind to our pups, and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask her to sit our furbies again in the future!

About: I have owned dogs all my life and also cats . My 6 children always were surrounded by with pets and they all received the utmost care . I firmly believe that regular veterinary care is essential and if you can’t afford it don’t have a pet . I recently lost my wife of 60 years and caring for a pet would fill a void ! Dogs are precious and deserve a caring safe environment. I have a fenced yard and a 5 year old pug who is friendly !my cottage is clean and well maintained . The rooms are solid wood so no problem if a dog has an indoor accident . I am retired and spend most of my time at home so I welcome a dog as very nice company

About: I have volunteered at my local animal shelter caring for both dogs and cats since I was 17. My family has also fostered pets of all ages since I was a child and I was an active and enthusiastic participant in all aspects of fostering from administering medications to basic care and helping walk and train foster pets. I have an open schedule so don’t be afraid to ask for days or times that others might reject, I am happy to make accommodations for your schedule. I take pride in being very detail oriented and respectful when it comes to caring for pets in your home. I follow pet care instructions meticulously and do not miss a step. Your pet’s specific needs and requirements will always be my top priority. I ascribe to the philosophy of leave no trace. When I care for pets in your home the only indication that I was there will be your happy and well cared for pet.

About: I cared for pets since I was 10 years old. If I see a dog out in public, I always have to ask their person if I can pet their dog. I have trained puppies with basic obedience and potty training. I believe that dogs need to be socialized if possible. I have also cared for elderly dogs and had to administer shots and pills. My little guy was a rescue that lived for 20 years. I don’t currently have a full time dog in my home. I just said goodbye to him in November 2024. I sometimes keep my girlfriend’s miniature labradoodle. He is about 30 lbs and is great with other dogs, kids and people. He has a fun personality and is a great playmate for other dogs. I also sometimes do weekend fostering for service dogs in training with Canines for Service. I work from home. I am a single father. It is just me and my teenage son. We are both very active and love animals. I am available to spend plenty of time with our furry friends. My little buddy passed away after 20 years in November 2024. So I do not currently have any pets in my home. I do watch my girlfriend’s dog from time to time. He is a great playmate for other dogs. He is friendly with all people and other dogs. He has quite a personality. He only weighs 30 lbs. I only watch 1 dog at a time unless there is a second dog within the same family. I will watch up to 2 dogs from the same family together. I live in a quiet community with sidewalks and established trees. I have a fenced yard. I can let them out frequently. I also like to take them for walks at my home or your home.

About: I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog home alone while you travel or work. I work from home so I am available throughout the day to doggy sit or play with your pup. We can go for a walk on the trail or run around in my fenced back yard. I have spayed 2 year old female dog , and 2 house cats that live with me. I’m experienced in administering medications, including injections and I am familiar with feeding your pet a raw diet if requested. I look forward to meeting with you assisting you with your pet care needs. I currently am working from home from 8:30-5:30pm with a one hour mid-day lunch break and regular breaks through out the day so I am available for early morning, mid-day and evening pet visits at your home or doggie day care and boarding in my home (must be potty-trained or crate-trained). I have a fenced yard and crate if needed for your pet's stay. Extra feeding bowls and bedding can be provided as well. Daily walks included with boarding.

About: Hi! I'm a pet mom currently without my own furbaby and would love to be your substitute pet parent/sitter! For however long your pet is in my care, I will love them and treat them as if they are my own. I have 20+ years of caring for dogs of various ages, sizes, breeds and personalities, including giving them medications/supplements. I have had one from puppy to doggie heaven, and several in between. I do not currently own one, so I would love the opportunity to hang out, cuddle, walk, and play with your furbaby! I give them the care and love they need and deserve. My life is appointments and dogs! Up until recently, my dogs were my life. For the majority of the past 15 years, I've been used to having two larger dogs around, but now it's just me. I am currently unable to work a "normal" job at the moment and need dogs in my life! This is how I am able to earn income at the moment. Caring for them are as much of a benefit for me as they are for you and your furbaby! I am super flexible, so just because you're away doesn't mean their routine has to change. I aim to provide a home away from home for pups that stay with me. I care for them as if they were my own. Being away from home and/or from you, can be difficult so I do everything I can to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am mindful of everything a dog could get into so do my best to provide a safe, clean, and dog friendly environment for them. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is on the first floor and has lots of space for a pup to still run and play.

About: I grew up in a family who had 2 dogs and 2 cats at a minimum at any one time. So having pets was the norm and caring for them was something my parents instilled in us from an early age. So the love of animals is a deep need. When I moved to NC 11 years ago to care for my mom and aunt I decided I needed something for me..that was pet sitting..it brought me joy and peace..over the last few years my client base dwindled due to age of clients and pets and my responsibilities for my mom and aunt made it so I didnt have the opportunity to pet sit. But now my circumstances have changed and I am ready to start over again and am anxious to find new clients to have fun with! My special skills that I bring besides my maturity is sense of responsibility, patience, reliability, trustworthy and love of pets. I am retired and live alone with my dog, Lucy. I am available 7 days a week to meet your needs and look forward to assisting you with you pet care. I live in an apartment with my dog, Lucy, so walks will be on leash only. I would walk the dogs separately, unless they walk well together..but that would be on a "to be determined" basis. I do live on the first floor so getting in and out for walks is very easy. I do have a fenced in patio, in nice weather we can sit outside for some fresh air. As for inside, my apartment is quite large with plenty of alone areas..I have 2 bedrooms and a study so everyone can have their own space, if they want..or not. Of course feeding would be done separately and Lucy would be enclosed, just for safety ...can never be too careful when it comes to food. If my clients dog is not comfortable at first, Lucy can stay in 2nd bedroom with a gate up if and/or until everyone is comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 12. I lived in a very tight knit neighborhood where on many occasions, I stayed in people’s houses to take care of their dogs or cats. I have lived with a big dog, a small dog in a wheelchair and a cat my entire life so I am fully equipped to provide for the needs of any animal. Whether they need extra care due to disabilities or space because they are timid, I am ready to do it! I don’t currently have a job because I am a student! I have a full course load but my schedule is very cohesive for midday walks or just check ins. I am available all times after 5pm when classes are and all day on the weekends. My schedule is not very strict and allows for a lot of wiggle room depending on what your pet needs. This is very dependent on what your pet and family need! If your pet requires my full attention and day I am happy to spend as much time with them as possible. If your pet needs just a few walks and then likes their space, I can do just that. I can be what ever your pet needs to thrive!

About: Hello all pet moms and dads! I would love to pet sit and comfort your furry family member this week or weekend! I’ve previously worked in the pet industry with years of experience caring for pets and working with local rescues. During playtime, walks, or cuddles I always make sure to send lots of videos and pictures. I love any breeds and all animals, big or small (Including small reptiles and fish!). Additionally, I have experience administering medicines such as eye drops/ pills to cats and dogs. Long walks, drop ins, house sitting, outdoor play sessions, etc. I’ve got your back! I currently have 2 adorable cats who have my heart ❤️. I am more than happy to take great care of your family pet like my own! I work part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am available for drop ins or pet sitting, especially holiday weekends. Safety, trust, and knowing the pets boundaries are the most important things to me. I love getting to know the pets routines and making sure they are comforted and feel safe around me.

I highly recommend that you book Stephanie if you need help taking care of your dogs! She’s the best dog sitter we’ve found on here so far, and went above and beyond taking care of our dogs when we went out of town! So we have two big dogs that can be a lot of work to take care of, and we needed someone to take care of them on our trip. We booked with Stephanie, and she did an amazing job taking care of them. She constantly sent us multiple updates each day, and each update was extremely thorough and detailed. We constantly felt like we were in the loop, and we really appreciated her doing such a great job! So if you are looking for someone to help take care of your dogs, we highly recommend that you book with her!
