“Jackson did a great job with Pluto! He followed the instructions to a tee and even made sure to turn the tv on Pluto on the exact YouTube channel he likes to watch! Excited to say I finally have someone that can do drop ins for Pluto!”
“Very reliable and super great to work with. She came exactly when agreed upon, followed directions, and gave our dog and cat lots of love while we were away. Would highly recommend Amanda!”
“She took care of our two cats over Christmas Break and she did a wonderful job - we were happy she was available! She treated them with respect and did a great job.”
“Carissa was a great choice for looking after our cat when we were on vacation. We especially appreciated that on a day when our street was blocked off, she tried twice to reach oue house. And she sends lots of pictures!”
“Jennifer was great with my cat Leo! She took great care of him while I was out of town, including keeping me updated on how he was doing with allergies. Will definitely book with her again! :)”
“Ella was so great with our cat! He can be shy and a little timid and warmed up to her immediately. Communication was awesome and we loved getting all of the cute pictures every day. Having Ella checking in while we were away gave us such peace of mind. We’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her regularly!”
About: With over 10 years of dog care experience, including fostering, pet nannying, and raising my own pups, I provide reliable, attentive walking and drop-in visits. I’m confident with all breeds and energy levels, and I love helping dogs get the exercise, play, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I treat every dog like family and always aim to build trust and routine. As a full-time college student at NC State, I love staying busy and active. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I enjoy walks, drop-ins, and spending time with dogs as a fun, rewarding break from classes. Being around pups makes my home away from home even better, and I’m flexible around my class schedule to give your dog the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect. I follow all instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and always secure doors, leashes, and gates. I treat your home as my own: cleaning up pet areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure things are left better than I found them. Clear communication and happy pups are my top priorities!
“Anna was wonderful and helpful with fixing our automatic feeder when the power went out. I would love for her to watch my cat again. Rumble warmed up to her instantly!”
“Rosemary was incredible! She made sure my sweet fur baby was taken care of while I was out of town. Gave her meds, walked her, gave her the best cuddles, and made sure she was comfortable and cozy. Will definitely be using her services again, such a kind spirit!”
“This was the first time Katherine walked my dog. I was out-of-town and I could tell by the photos he was relaxed and happy. I am very pleased with Katherine and recommend her services without reservation.”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families dogs ever since I was a kid. I can talk dogs out for walks and tire them out with lots of play! I have taken care of small and big dogs and would love to meet your furry friend! I am in between jobs looking for some extra money so I can work with your schedule! I would prefer during the workday as that is when I have the most time but I can work with you! My cat hangs out with me all day in my apartment and I love to give her love and bother her throughout the day so she doesn’t get bored! I will be sure to give your pet the attention and playtime that they want!
“Isabel continues to exceed my expectations with how responsible, caring, and communicative she is. Her genuine enjoyment of my cats and the time she spends playing with them is fantastic for their mental and emotional well-being, which is obvious when I return and they are in such good spirits. She is extremely respectful of my space, responsible, and a fantastic communicator. An easy 5/5 for me.”
“Marissa did a great job with my cats while I was away! I loved that she took the time to find their hiding spots so I got a photo of them each day. It made me feel much more comfortable about leaving my spoiled kitties!?❤?”
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 9 years from all walks of life. From dogs that are at the end of their life stage and need a little extra TLC to young bloods that need to be taken out for nice long walks to be tuckered out. I have cared for fish, guinea pigs, chicks and fully grown chickens I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of spare free time to give each pet that care they deserve! I have reliable transportation so that will also not be an issue I can care for pets in my home or the owners home. There are parks near where I live and I have a back yard that would allow the dogs to feel at home. I can also care in their own respective location with walks around the neighborhood, feeding, checking to ensure the water bowl is full and picking up after the pet.
“Alison took great care of my 3 cats, following complicated feeding instructions and administering an inhaler for my asthmatic cat. I appreciated the photos from each visit and the updates on what was in the litter boxes. She also played with my kitten with her favorite toy 🥹. I will be booking her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Maria is so great and helpful! She was able to pop in over the holidays when most are super busy. We highly suggest her for cat sitting, she is reliable and easy to work with and my babies love her.”
