About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.

About: My family and I have owned dogs my entire life from a Mastiff to Poodles. I understand that dogs are part of a persons family. I am retired after working 33 years with the state of NC and have extra time. I retire from Adult Probation and Parole and need something to do. I will assist with caring for pets at the clients home only. My husband is handicapped and we also gave 2 dogs of our own.

About: I have lots of pets, including 3 big dogs and 1 pit bull, and I also rescue and foster cats. I volunteered at APS for 1 year, where I walked dogs, learned how to handle big dogs in a very stressful environment for them, and learned how to care for certain pet medical needs(such as worms). My home has become essentially an animal sanctuary for cats! I never leave a cat stranded and always take it to the vet right away to address any medical treatment needed! I am good with handling all size dogs but I typically prefer to work with medium-small dogs, and I'm great with handling cats! I'm working a part time job right now but my schedule is pretty leniant! Mornings, night, and midday are all times I'm available to work! Although I mostly would like to do drop-ins, I'm fully able to do house sitting as well as long as the times are communicated a few days in advance! At home I make sure all my pets are fed according to the time that they need, many people have different feeding schedules and I'm able to cater to any of the pets needs. For dogs making sure you keep eyes on them at all times especially when outdoors. Making sure all doors leading to outside are shut, or pet is fully secured before a door is opened. Paying attention to warning signs of distress in an animal is very key. Whether they are having a physical reaction to something or it appears more emotional, having a close eye on the pet assures that they are getting the help they need at all times. And of course lots of loving and play with the animals if that's what the owner recommends! I understand that not all animals are playful or affectionate, but for the ones that are its definitely good to take a little extra time out of the day for some belly rubs!

About: I absolutely adore pets and always have since I was young! Had several dogs all throughout my childhood and am currently in search for one of my own! I enjoy walking outside so if your dog loves to go for walks, we'd be the perfect match! I have also pet sat dogs of all ages many times before for neighbors and friends, so I would love to be able to pet sit for anyone in need whether that be for feeding time, walks, overnight care or just to be there so they aren't lonely! I recently moved back to North Carolina, so I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends. My home has a yard to run around and play in and the neighborhood is perfect for walks! I can easily crate your dogs if needed or they can snuggle up on the couch or bed. Looking forward to taking care of your furry family members and will treat them like my own :)

About: I have been privileged to work with fur babies of all ages. However, most of my time is spent with senior pups. I will gladly take your pets on adventures at their own pace or play their favorite games for as long as their hearts desire. Weekends are the best time for me to spend with your babies. I do work, but fortunately it is not too far from my home. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around. My neighborhood is very walkable and quiet, so we can spend as much time outside as your puppy would like.

About: I've taken care of many animals throughout my life whether it's mine or my families and I would love to take care of yours as well and give them just the amount of love! I have a pretty open schedule after I just graduated college with my associates and I'm going to be going to Wilmington in the fall to study film so I have all day to take care of the pets you love! I have two cats living in the inside of my home and I love them to death and definitely make sure they don't get into trouble, as well as doing all of their neccesities and I would say playing is a necessity too.

About: I've grown up all my life around pets in one form or another. When I was very young, I vividly remember having a pet white rabbit as my first fur covered companion. Cleaning his pen out, playing with him in my family's living room, as well as outside. Ensuring he got enough exercise and stimulation. I also used to have a guinea pig that vividly remember caring for and playing with constantly. I loved watching him roll around in is little exercise ball and how surprisingly intelligent they are. At one of my childhood homes, we moved into when I was young, there was a big man-made goldfish pond outside that I remember spending a lot of time at. I loved observing them and watching the goldfish swim. And I was always the one to feed them when it was feeding time. Having such hands-on experiences with many different animals, so early on in my life, I believe that's what gave me such a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and love for other living creatures. There's always been a family dog, or several dogs, at any given point in time growing up my whole life. From little purse sized dogs to medium sized squirrel hunting breeds. Even a couple German Shepards that remember having fond attachments to. I've had 3 cats in my adult life, all rescues from the streets, woodlands, and even one from a shelter. My first cat that I rescued was actually a no more than a couple months old at the time. I was around 20, and that was my first experience personally caring for a kitten that young. His name was Neo, and he was an all-black tabby, that showed up in my driveway after a bad storm had blown through earlier that night. He passed away roughly 5-6 years ago unfortunately. But that little guy was my best friend. My second rescue already had a name and was an adult already. He was around 9 when I first met him. His name is BB, and he used to be my former landlord's cat she raised from a kitten. She ended up moving to another country and took him to a shelter without my knowing. After she mentioned it to me, I contacted the shelter he was taken to and luckily, I knew someone who worked there. So, I asked if a cat fitting his description came through. And sure enough, there he was in all of his vibrant orange glory. So, he came home with me within a couple days. He's the most audible cat I've ever known. Such a personality, sometimes he acts like a cat, sometimes a dog, and sometimes he'll talk to you as if he's a human holding a conversation with you. My latest rescue I've had for about three years now. She was about two years old when I met her. She had been living in the woods behind a former employer of mine, where I would always bring cans of food and leave them out for the pack of strays living in those woods. And the next morning at work, I would always find an empty can. I just tried to keep as many of them fed as I could, not thinking too much of it. But I guess I got one in particular's attention, because one night this little black and white tabby came walking right into the store trying to say hi to everybody. Nothing but skin and bone unfortunately. Already having a can of cat food on hand, I ended up feeding her and she stayed in the back of the store throughout the remainder of the evening. As I would periodically pop in and check on her. After closing up that night, I let her back outside to return to her pack in the woods. The next day at work, she did the exact same thing and just came strolling into the store to greet everyone. After that second day, I decided she would come home to live with me instead and live out her days with a greatly improved quality of life. Her being my first female cat, I ended up naming her Elvira. I've always had a devoted love for animals, and I'm lucky to have all of them return the favor with their affection. Friends and family began dubbing me the typical "cat person", because I just adore cats of all kinds. I've always been the person that other pet owners would tell me, "Wow, they don't normally come up to strangers like that, they must really like you". I've always kind of prided myself on that. I've never been afraid of animals, and they've seemed to always gravitate towards me with ease in my past experiences. I feel they have a sense for that, or sense that they somehow know if they can outright trust you or not. Like they sense that you're not a threat to them based on one's energy so to speak. I've never really thought too much about it, but it's endearing to know most animals have not trouble approaching me to say hello. And I feel I simply understand animals much better than I do people more times than not. I've never been harmed by or attacked by any pet or animal in general. Nor have I ever felt in danger by one. I believe they also are good as sensing that as well. Having been around animals my entire life in varying capacities, I feel that pet owners can absolutely entrust me to provide the proper care and affection to their fur covered family members during times the owners have to be away due to everyday life circumstances. Although I don't have any "professional" training or expertise per say, I have worked at a "doggy day care" facility for quite a while as well. Where we had a daily routine of taking every dog outside first thing in the morning, very early in the morning. Once they used the bathroom, we brought them back to their kennels to have some breakfast. Some would require specific foods given to us by their owners when they were dropped off for the day. Some were left with specific instructions they we would execute to the letter. Some would be brought in with their own required food that they received daily, and some would be left with oral medications that we were entrusted to administer to their pet. Every dog was different and required specific food, medications and treatment, that made each experience unique. And made the staff fairly well rounded in providing care to many dogs at a time. A lot of the stays came to us Monday through Friday, so it was very easy to fall into a routine of providing proper care to their companions. We fed each one of them twice throughout the day. Every day we let them roam around outside in designated play areas for several hours at a time, where they would have interactions with other dogs, several toys and objects to climb on and lounge on top of. Some owners would opt for their pets to have an additional 30 minutes to an hour of extra one on one play time with members of our staff. It was just a way to provide ample exercise as well as affection to some stays that were prone to showing signs of being uncomfortable, being separated from their owners all day long. So, there were many that received that extra touch of one-on-one affection in a separate part of the facility where they weren't overwhelmed by all of the other dogs either. That was special for us staff members as well since we got the chance to form bonds with a lot of our stays that were "regulars" at our facility. In order to put groups of dogs together in an enclosed play area, it was a crucial step to observe the dogs' behaviors amongst other dogs. So we would have two dogs on a leash, bring them close enough to each other for them to check the other dog out. In whether they approved of one another or not, that's how we sorted them into several groups. If they showed signs of not getting along with a dog, we would try a different dog, and so on and so forth. Until we successfully had an effective group that could all inhabit the same enclosed play space provided without issues. We grouped them as close as we could based on different sizes, since you obviously wouldn't want a very large dog in the same space as a purse sized dog, and they could potentially be injured on accident for example. There was typically 3 staff members in a designated play area with the dogs at any given time, for three different play areas we called "yards", to oversee everything, watch their behaviors, and play with them for stimulation as well. We also had an air horn that was used to break up agitated dogs if necessary. As kind of a shock factor to momentarily break their focus on each other. I've been in one instance where I had to pull an aggressive dog away and out of the play pen at that job, so I've seen dogs that just had bad days that could potentially trigger other dogs to reacting negatively. Never had dogs act negatively towards me particularly, just that they maybe got bothered by another dog playing too rough or annoying other dogs that weren't in the mood to play at that moment. But ultimately what I walked away from that experience with, is a deeper understanding of what a dog's sometimes subtle behavior can show us on what, and how they are feeling. As well as observing with better accuracy on how they are feeling around other dogs, or larger group of dogs in an eclosed space. But overall, it taught me how to really gauge dogs' attitudes towards other dogs. As well as how to more keenly spot their behavior or mood, how to anticipate their next move, and even how to prevent potential issues before they happen regarding multiple dogs at a time. One of the best parts of that job is we were allowed to take pictures of the dogs we boarded and send them to the owners to ensure their trust in us that they're dogs were being well taken care of and happy while they were away at work all day. I've posted several pictures on my profile of a handful of the dogs that I formed particularly close bonds with. So many of them were actually happy to come stay with us during the day while they're owners were away. I really loved the work that was done there. With all of that said, I hope you have a fairly decent picture of me and my experience painted for you, and if you have any questions, you'd like to ask me at all please don't hesitate to contact me and ask away. I very much look forward to meeting you, and your furball family member in the future! I have plenty of time during the week to take care of client's pets. I have my own to cats that I have to tend to as well, so unfortunately, I'm unable to invest a full day into pet sitting, walking, etc. It's important to me to give my cats a great quality of life, and the same level of attention and care will be provided to all animals in my care. No matter if it's a drop in visit one time, or several times a day. Rest assured they will be greeted with the same level of care and affection as I would give my own pets. With that said, I will start out at a bit of a slower pace until I get my footing at doing this. I have cared for up to 6 pets at a time, but they were all under the same roof, and also, I lived with them, so it made it a bit easier than travelling to different locations. But I have complete faith that I will be good at this job as I steadily become more familiar with the overall structure of this format. And develop a bit of a routine, so that later on, I will be able to adjust my time management better and will be able to offer more services for people and pets alike. This is a new experience to me, but taking care of animals is a very familiar experience. I have no doubts about it in that regard. I will begin by alternating services for alternating days, for example, a couple drop in visits one day, the next day will consist of a couple dog walks, with the next day being back to drop in visits, and so on and so forth. I do believe my availability will increase in the future once I'm more comfortable with the overall structure and planning of this kind of format. As I said before all of my experience has typically been in one set location or another. But I believe this is very achievable. And I believe my services will reflect that I care very much for animals. I look forward to working with you! In my home, with my two cats. Everyday whether I'm home or not, I like to have either a radio or tv playing. Just so they have the sound of human voices talking, which I like to think is better for them than just sitting in a silent home all day. If you have a smart tv like I do, I also love to get on YouTube and have a nature video playing for them to watch for hours on end. They're real time, caught on video birds, squirrels, and other critters coming and going on a bird feeder, or out on a log in nature somewhere. But the visual stimulation seems to be pretty good for my cats. Especially if I'm not able to be home most of the day. I find that keeps their attention for a good while, and even when they get tired of watching the animals on the screen, I believe just the sounds are very soothing for them to hear. Since they both spent quite a bit of time outdoors in their pasts. The sounds of birds chirping, wind gently blowing leaves, etc. I believe it really calms them on a primal level.
