About: Because tails wag and whiskers twitch when they’re happy! Hi, I’m Lilian — proud dog mom, cat mom, and lifelong animal enthusiast! For 46 years, I’ve had a house full of paws, fur, and unconditional love. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime zoomies, or gentle lap cuddles, I make sure every pet feels right at home (even if they’re not in theirs!). Your fur baby will get the VIP (Very Important Pet) treatment every time. Caring for pets is second nature to me. I plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just like I’ve done for my own dogs and cats for 46 years. In my home, I provide a safe, cozy, and calm environment where pets can relax, play, and stick to their normal routine. I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection — plus plenty of snuggles. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I respect your home, keep everything tidy, and give you regular updates with photos so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for.

About: We’ve been pet parents and pet sitters for over 13 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our lives. We know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away from your furry family members—that’s why we treat every pet as if they were our own. What makes us stand out is the personalized care we provide. Every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and we make it our priority to get to know them and keep them comfortable. Whether that means plenty of playtime, long walks, quiet cuddle sessions, or just sticking to their daily habits, we adapt to what makes them happiest. Safety is always at the top of our list. We create a secure, loving environment where pets feel at ease, while also paying close attention to their health and well-being. From giving medications and keeping feeding schedules consistent to making sure water bowls are always full and clean, we take the little details seriously. We also love to make the time fun! Pets in our care get lots of adventures—walks, games, and enrichment activities that keep them active and engaged. At the same time, we know the value of comfort, so they’ll also have plenty of rest and affection. For us, pet sitting isn’t just about the basics—it’s about building trust, creating happy memories, and making sure you feel completely confident while you’re away. Our schedule is flexible, and since we work remotely half the week, we’re able to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. Pet care is built into our daily routine, so your furry friend always comes first. Morning: We start the day with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or play in the yard to get energy out and set a positive tone. Midday: Playtime in the yard or a walk, along with companionship and attention to keep them happy while you’re away. Evening: Walk, feeding, and plenty of family time, whether that’s outdoor play, lounging inside, or simply relaxing together. Throughout the Day: We keep spaces clean, monitor activities for safety, and provide regular love and companionship. We care for pets with love and attention—making sure they’re well-fed, walked, and never short on companionship. Our fenced backyard gives them a safe place to run, play, and explore, and we’re always nearby to keep an eye on their adventures. We keep their spaces clean, cozy, and secure so they can feel relaxed, happy, and right at home while they’re with us.

About: I've been taking care of my own and others' pets since I was a baby! I've trained a few puppies on how to sit and stay, come here, and generally behaving better! I promise I'll ensure your pets are not only safe but happy! Please note that I don't accept German Shepherds under 3 years old. I've had too many bad experiences with them. I'm currently looking through some education and career options, so I'm home all week long. I go to sleep and wake up after everyone else in my family, so we can let your dog out to go potty on a very consistent basis. All animals in my care will be provided with an AirTag to ensure they can be easily located should anything happen. I have a fenced-in yard, two dogs, and three cats to keep your pets entertained and exercising. My dogs are super friendly and the cats don't bother anyone.

“Candice takes great care of my doggos and home when I've needed a sitter, shes now the first name I search for my future Rover inquiries! Her communication, demeanor and love for animals make her an easy pick for me when I have long-term stays away from home!”

“Lydia was great with our cats and sent us lots of great pics!”

“We just needed a couple of drop-in visits for an overnight we had planned away. Angie was great! She came to the house for a meet & greet before we confirmed booking & the day of, she came prepared with treats & text me an update with pictures while she was there. We would definitely book her again if any other drop-ins are needed!”

About: I've spent over 15 years surrounded by animals I’ve loved and cared for—including a dog, a bird, and two cats. Beyond my own pets, I once took in a lost cat, rehabilitated her with patience and care, and reunited her with her grateful owner. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly—I think they can tell I genuinely enjoy their company! Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm presence, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm currently working full-time away from home and looking to fill weekdays after 5pm and anytime on the weekends with playful pets! I'm available Most weekdays and 2-3 weekends per month. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, keeping things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and boundaries, making sure playtime is fun but always safe. Whether it's double-checking doors, monitoring behavior, or sticking to feeding and walk schedules, you can count on me to provide loving care with a watchful eye.

“She was great. Kept me updated while I was away and sent pictures. Just what I needed to feel okay being away from my cats.”

“Isabelle took care of my two 14 y/o dogs for 7 days while I was away. She visited 3 times each day to feed/water/walk. I’m very particular about who I allow to watch my dogs due to their age but I was able to travel worry free thanks to Isabelle. Highly recommended.”

About: I have a gentle approach when it comes to pet care, Im extremely sensitive to their needs and prioritize their happiness. They won’t feel like they’re around someone new at all!! I have a full time job but pet care is my part time job and a personal joy. Incorporating pet care into my routine stabilizes and rejuvenates my schedule!! Since I offer housesitting, I can assure you that cleanliness is one of my utmost priorities and I can leave the home better than I found it! I’ve housesat many times in the past, so combining pet care with that is an easy addition.

About: I have taken care of birds, ferrets, squirrels, cats, dogs, and hamsters within my life so far! I currently have a 10-year old labrador and I can imagine how careful you would want me to be when hiring a pet sitter or walker. I also have extensive dog walking and sitting experience from my time on the app Wag. My schedule is fairly flexible on the weekends, but can be somewhat restrictive during the weekdays. Excited to meet your pups! I’m currently working part-time, so my weekdays are free after 5pm and my weekends are generally wide open :) currently looking for Fourth of July bookings! When I care for a pet in a client’s home, I am first and foremost respectful of their privacy and security. I take care of the pup as requested by the client and will spend plenty of time making them feel loved and nurtured!

“This is the 3rd time I’ve used Josh to watch my pets when I was away & just as always he did a fantastic job!! He spends hours with them, playing with my dog outside & lounging on the couch with my cat. He sent me updates everyday making my two week vacation stress free. I’m sure my pets can’t wait for my next vacation so that they can spend more time with Josh!!”

About: Regardless of the size, breed, or age of your pet, I can promise we will be best friends by the end of our visit! I have taken care of just about every type of dog, from corgi puppies to 10 year old boxer-pit bull mixes. I grew up with two yellow labs, and know how to treat your four legged friend as an extension of my own family. I also volunteer for Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Paws, a service dog training organization. From the 2 years I have assisted this program, I have gained experience in fostering dogs of all ages, dog walking, general care, taking dogs to appointments, and potty training. I am a part-time student at UNC Chapel Hill, and do not currently work. I have one 2 hour class Monday-Friday, other than that I will have ample time throughout the day to care for your dog! I will walk/exercise your dog whenever necessary, have a large and easily accessed grass area within a 2 minute walk of my apartment, and have no other pets that could interfere with my ability to care for your dog. If your dog is active, I will happily play with and entertain it, I can also simply keep it company and work on school work. Plus, I’ll send lots of photos!

About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!
