Pet Sitting Southwest

About: I am excited to help take care of your pet with walks, visits, and house sitting! As a cat mom, I’ve loved taking care of pets and spending time with them. During undergrad, I’ve helped a family friend with their new dog through walks and play. I’ve helped my close friends by watching family dogs and cats as well. I am currently in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Masters program at NC State! My classes are usually between 4pm-7:30pm, and I am currently walking two dogs in the afternoons. So I’m available in the mornings for walks and drop ins! As a cat mom myself, I will work around my pet schedule to help out yours. Whenever I’m at a pet’s home, I make sure to greet them and follow the necessary steps in their care! I make sure to show them some love and affection while I visit.

“Kira has always been fast to reply and so great with my two high energy large dogs! I can always tell my boys have a great time by the smile on their faces in their report card pics!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for three years and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I grew up with cats and recently cared for my own dog for 15 wonderful years, so I understand how important gentle, attentive, and loving care is. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize comfort, safety, and happiness I work from home which allows me plenty of free time along with flexibility to be able to focus on your pets and meet their needs. I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I follow routines closely and provide constant supervision.

“Moriah was wonderful with our 2 cats. In addition to taking great care of them, she brought in many packages and took our trash bin down and back. Sent very detailed updates and made going on vacation easy. Highly recommend.”

“Thanks to Olivia our cat had company while we were out of town for a funeral. During a hard time it was nice to get updates and photos of our lil baby Morgan.”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, and playtime for pets of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with their pets while they were traveling, so I understand how important it is to keep animals comfortable and happy. I’m patient with shy pets and enjoy spending time outdoors with active dogs. Your furry friend will be safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m available most mornings from 8:15–10am and after 4pm on weekdays, as well as on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs for walks, visits, or sitting. I create a calm and safe environment for pets, following their routines and your instructions closely. I can visit your home, provide feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure your pets feel happy and loved while you’re away

About: I’ve been a lover of pets since I was a child and do my very best to give any and all of them as much love and care as possible. I’ve almost always had an animal in the house since I can remember and they’ve all been special to me in their own ways. While I am new to animal care as something other than just caring for my own furry (and fishy) friends, I do have experience from helping care for strays in my neighborhood, cat sitting for a friend and walking my neighbors dog. I strive to treat any and all animals as I would my own, with gentleness and respect. I am currently enrolled in community college which only demands for me to make time on Mondays in the morning for class. Other than that, my weeks look pretty open. I am flexible with scheduling and will communicate and be very upfront about any conflicts or if a job simply doesn’t fit into whatever plans I might already have. When taking care of another’s pets I will be as respectful as I can of the environment while staying attentive to the animal the full time. I will follow whatever instructions are set and be aware to any behavioral notes or boundaries a pet may have that I am warned about. I will engage the animal as much as possible, wanting to give them enough love and entertainment within the duration I have with them. I might even bring over a toy or treat if permitted.
