About: I have always lived in a dog household- I find myself happiest when around canine friends. I have walked, dog-sat, and generally been around dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I look forward to learning the specific needs of your canine friends, and how to best support them when you are away. I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility on where I work from. Although I am working during the hours of 10 am - 6 pm, I remain open for discussion on needs of your pet. I can regularly step away to take care of pets, as well as house-sit and work from anywhere. Open to catering to your needs! I have experience working with larger dogs with... more assertive walking styles, as well as will pups that are just along for the ride. I love hiking, playing fetch, and always love to work with dogs in enrichment activities with food/treats.
“High recommend! I have had to leave for 2+ weeks twice due to family issues, and Courtney has been amazing with my cat's idiosyncrasies. Can't thank her enough.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for 2 years. I have less than 1 year of bathing experience. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, I’m a huge animal lover. I have a beautiful Bernese mountain dog myself. I work 2 jobs, one is part time while the other is full time. I’m looking to earn extra money to save up for a house and pay off debt. Your fur baby(s) are trusting you to leave them in good hands. You’re trusting me to be those good hands, I’d give my life for an animal. I love them too much to see them hurt or hurting.
“We cannot recommend Kayla enough! Kayla is an incredible sitter and person! She cared for our babies like they were her own. We had terrible sitter experiences in the past and she made our trip feel less stressful knowing that our babies were in great hands. We looked forward to reading her daily updates and photos, they were the highlights to our days away from home. We will definitely hire her again for future trips. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ? you’re the best”

“Francesca is great with our pit/mix Gracie. When she comes for drop in visits, I always get pictures! She is always on time and very dependable. I love you and we will continue to use Francesca to take care of Gracie!!!”


About: Growing up, we've always had dogs. They were large dogs (great danes) for the most part, but I've dog sat for quite a few friends with smaller dogs as well. I love dogs, and rarely have I met a dog that didn't like me, but it was usually out of shyness. I know how to be respectful of the dogs while always being firm when needed. I will ensure that any dog I meet has the best experience I can provide. I work part-time in the afternoons, but otherwise, my schedule is open to coming and checking in on your pets and tending to their needs. I will care for your pets with whatever you have provided at your house, and I will follow whatever instructions are particular to them. I do not generally clean the pets, but if they make a mess, I will ensure that you come home to a clean house.

“Skipper loves my dogs. He took time walking them, feeding them and even sending me summary with photos. I glad to have him help us. If you want to find a person who truely loves dogs and go above and beyond, Skipper is the one.”
About: Hello, I’m Jess! I grew up around animals from the time I could walk until now. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, fish and a horse! I’ve always felt so comfortable and at ease around all kinds of animals and have always tried to help every animal I can (even if my parents didn’t appreciate it haha). I currently moved down to North Carolina with my cat and lived with 4 other cats, 4 dogs, and 6 birds before now. I also rescued a 9week old kitten from a dumpster a couple months ago! I’m really excited to have the chance to care for your fur babies while you’re unavailable! I can ensure they will stick to any schedule they may have, have any necessary medications on time, and are happy and safe before I let them have their “me” time! I’m currently working night shifts, part time, so I’m available during the day for our pets and late at night! I typically have 3 days off per week and am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pets have the best care possible! I like to come in and figure out what I can do to make the fur babies days a little better! Make sure they have food, water, find some treats and toys for them, and have a field day of play! I always triple check that my home and my clients homes are clean and safe when I leave so we don’t risk accidents happening and so everyone can rest easy! My primary concern is always your pets safety and well-being, as well as my own, so you can rest assured your pets will remain in a safe and happy environment while I’m there!
“Super kind, personable, and responsible young lady. I hired her to do drop-ins while I was out of town for two days. She was FANTASTIC. Always checked in on time, and my dogs LOVE her. She was house and pet sitting next door, and our neighbors are also very happy with her. Highly recommend.”

About: I will be spending time with them at the dog park at my neighborhood and they will be treated like my own dog. I will love them as if they were own. I can take them for a walk every 2 hours and if you have any changes feel free to call me. I am at home all day so they will be under my supervision 24/7. I will feed them, give them their needs, take them out to use the bathroom and for a walk, and maybe take them for a run, and go to the dog park.
About: As a biology teacher, rescue worker, and pet lover I have experience caring for animals that some people have never heard of! We currently have a bearded dragon, a musk turtle, a Catahoula mix dog, and a number of fish. I love them all, and I’ll show your pets the same care and attention that I do mine. I am a full time school teacher and mother of three. If you’d like your dog socialized, I can provide socialization. If they need snuggles, snuggles abound here. If you have more than just dogs, we can talk about that, too! I know how hard it is to find people willing to care for critters that need live food, insects, a bit of hard work and more, so I'm willing to help where needed. As long as you can provide instructions, I'm willing to learn some new things too. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends during the school year and all day every day (as long as I’m not on vacation) during the summer. Just let me know what you need! I have a fenced in yard and a dog-friendly large dog. My children are well trained in how to approach and introduce themselves to new pets.
“Nikki is amazing and dependable. Whatever your routine she will follow it. Takes time with pets to reassure them they are cared about with love, attention and some playtime. Highly recommend Nikki she is very respectful and friendly.”

“Tori was prompt to our meet and greet and very kind and eager to help. She was there for our ladies and gave them all the love and attention we requested! It’s so nice to have someone we trust with our animals and our home, we will definitely use her again. Thank you Tori!”

“Faith popped in to feed and water our cat while we were away. He's a shy kitty but I felt he was taken care of. She messaged me when she was there and gave me updates. I appreciate her very much.”
