“Joan is the best, she took great care of our two pups! We felt so comfortable with her care and attention to detail, and our dogs absolutely loved her! She sent great updates with photos and we look forward to working with her again soon!”
“This was the first time we’ve ever left our dogs and our house to somebody we didn’t know, so of course we had our apprehensions, and Cayla went above and beyond for us. We had a family member cancel on us only 4 days before vacation, and Cayla was able to accommodate us and our dogs with only 3 days notice, after we exhausted all of our other resources. She was very communicative during her stay, updated us with pictures, and even fixed the bathroom vanity handle that I forgot to put a screw back in before vacation. We came home to very well cared for dogs, and a house that was cleaner than it was before we left. We are beyond satisfied with her services, and we would love to have her back in the future!”

She communicated quickly and well, and she did exactly as we asked with the dogs. She was a great house guest and we would not hesitate to work with her again!”
“Honestly amazing service. I needed help pretty last minute over a holiday weekend and he helped me with no hesitation. Not to mention now my dogs are always wondering where Erics at. Overall a great job and will definitely be going back to him in the future”
“Francine did a wonderful job watching my pup while I was away. She kept me up to date throughout the stay and was very attentive to him. He absolutely loved her!! She was very respectful of my house during her stay and would highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter.”
About: I helped raise my dog and my girlfriend’s dogs from puppyhood, and I also care for my 14-year-old dog back home. I’m experienced with both energetic pups and senior pets who need extra love and patience. Currently I am working part-time and that is in the mornings. So have a lot of time on my hands at the moment. Whatever works best for you! I live in an apartment, so lots of walks around the surrounding neighborhood or the little dog park next to me. I live just south of downtown Raleigh.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over a decade, and it’s truly something I enjoy. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra attention, I’m confident handling all kinds of personalities. I’ve helped with everything from feeding and walks to administering meds and giving baths. Pet parents know they can count on me to treat their animals like family with patience, love, and responsibility. I only work two days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets during the day, evenings, or weekends. My schedule is very open and reliable. I always treat clients space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully. I keep things clean, stick to routines, and send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Arthur is AMAZING. Cannot thank him enough for taking such great care of the house and the kids!”
“Amanda was a huge help for us! She took great care of our dogs and our house looked great upon our return. We would absolutely utilize Amanda again to care for Beau and Daisy!”
“Kristen is the best anyone could ask for! We love that we came back to happy dogs. She stayed with them the whole time, giving them lots of attention and love. She followed their schedule and their complicated feeding instructions. Her dog Romeo is a gentle giant, careful around our little dog and cuddled with our big dog. We can tell Romeo is just as experienced at nurturing animals as Kristen is. They’re such a great team to care for your fur babies!”
“Lexi clearly loves our dog, and was very responsive. She provided great updates, and was with Ted a majority of the time. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house!”
“I wish I could give Tammy 100 stars! She took great care of our girls and even helped us out by taking care of them an extra day when our return flight was delayed. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Lori was absolutely amazing!! She was super communicative and considerate of our and our pets needs while she house sat for us over a long weekend. The pets were so happy and healthy when we got back and she kept our house very clean and tidy for us too! I would very highly recommend Lori for any pet care needs!”
About: I’ve practically had pets my whole life and have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—I genuinely love being around them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience not just with my own pets, but also through my time working at the PetSmart PetsHotel, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just making them feel at home, I truly enjoy every part of taking care of animals. I’m a teacher, so my summers are open. I’m usually free after 3 during the rest of the year. Weekends are usually open. My availability will be posted. My top priority is always building trust with your fur baby. Only then am I able to care for them to the fullest. I have an extra bedroom for pets that prefer their own space. I have a large back yard and also am located about 3 miles from a dog park that I frequent.
