“The absolute BEST! So great with my cat. She sent updates, got great pictures, and it was clear my cat loved her. She really took the time every day to show some love to and take care of her. I felt so much better being away because of the AMAZING job Kristen did. I cannot wait to book her again! 10/10 recommend”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were visiting family over Christmas. At our initial meet and greet, she was very professional. During our vacation she took excellent care of our three cats and even brought in our mail for us! Knowing our cats were in good hands with a responsible caregiver while we were away gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. You will not regret hiring Ashley to care for your pets! Thanks again Ashley!”
“I was worried about leaving my kitten alone for the first time, but Alexandra put my mind at ease! She did a great job checking in on my cat and sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to Alexandra again when I need another sitter.”

“I greatly appreciated being able to rely on Stacy’s vet tech experience to administer meds to my grumpy old man cat for our week’s vacation. Thank you!”
“I've never used a pet sitting service before and had some reservations about doing so. The Rover app was recommended by a trusted family member and I chose Alexander based on his excellent reviews. I was immediately at ease after his meet and greet before we needed to leave town. I couldn't be happier with our experience!!! Alexander was consistently very responsive with excellent communication prior to our trip and graciously welcomed my worried mom check list for each of our critters. We received detailed daily reports on each pet with lots of reassuring observations and individual attention for each pet. I highly recommend booking with Alexander! We will absolutely book with him for future visits!!!”

About: I am a true animal lover. I have had pets my entire life (50+ years!!). I also volunteer at animal shelters and rescue organizations. I have saved animals lives...ask me about Luciano!. I know how much we love our pets and to many of us, they are our family and mean the world to us. That is how I would describe myself as well. I'm very trustworthy and responsible. If I make a commitment to care for your family member(s), I will give them TLC as if they were my own. If I had the ability, I would have my own sanctuary. I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns. I currently have almost open availability to care for your cherished pets. I can care for other animals as well, including lizards, snakes, fish, birds, bunnies, chickens, even pet rodents! Your pets safety is of upmost concern to me. I will follow whatever guidelines and preferences you have. Written information is helpful. I am extremely trustworthy.
“Thanks again!”
About: We have 4 dogs, a longhair chihuahua who we rescued when he was young, a chowchow mix whom we rescued from the woods as a puppy, and 2 great white pyranese who are primarily outside as guardian dogs. We absolutely love pets! They are our babies and will treat yours the same way! Growing up, we have always had dogs in the household and I wouldn't see it any other way . I have dog sat for multiple families. They are always supervised when together and separated when we run an errand. I've never run into any issues - most of them love all of the socialization! It's so much fun!! I am a stay-at-home mom and will be home full-time taking care of your babies as well as mine! We have lots of love and snuggles to go around! I look forward to hearing from you soon! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me! Thanks so much for checking out my profile! We live on 15 acres and have chickens, guinea fowl, and pigs. We keep them separated from all of the dogs that come visit. Our backyard is now fenced so there's a fenced area for our guests to run around! We also have a lot of dog toys here, so please try to resist bringing toys for your fur babies, I will worry they will get lost! ** My hours are approximately 6am-9pm. If you need to pick up or drop off later/earlier than that, we can discuss.** *if you refer someone to me and it ends in a completed stay, you will receive 1 free night stay for one of your dogs* I'm home full time so we will mostly be here with your fur baby. If we do leave for a playground or errand it's for a short time. I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
About: My fur babies are my heart! I take the time to actually get to know my babies so they aren’t nervous & so WE both are comfortable with each other! I want my fur babies comfortable and no where near stressed when visiting! I focus on making sure everyone is comfortable so we all can have a great time! I love showing my babies TLC and spending more than enough time with my babies so they are comfortable! I love animals so spending time with them and giving them extra tlc is my specialty. I am a bather at a grooming shop! I have my animal science certification from south Granville highschool where I completed both large and small animal science. I wash and cutt nails and clean ears for (dogs)! I can help with small things if needed during the visits! I currently work at a store and grooming shop! So I’m 10-4:30 most days out the week and have the rest of my day to myself. I have morning and evening and nights available! I work up to 5-6 hours l have time on my hands to make new fur friends🥰! I have time to come by and make morning visits, evening visits and nights! I do overnight stays! I have 4 dogs at my parents house of different breeds! (Chihuahua, shitzu, pitbull, German shepherd)My inside dogs are trained to not use the bathroom in the house, have full access to water and food as they please, so I have experience with big and small dogs. I make sure my babies have jackets or boots on depending on the weather outside! Their Paws are very sensitive so I think about small things like that!

“Rhiannon was great with our four fur babies! She sent us a report after every drop in visit with photos! It helped us to have a much better time with our family, knowing that they were in such great hands!

Amanda C.
“I was so worried about leaving my dogs when I went on vacation. But then I was extremely fortunate to find Amanda. After our initial meeting I was extremely impressed by her professionalism, love and concern for the care of my pets. She is a gem and a true animal lover. She has experience fostering animals, so she is well aware of what it takes to care for pets with special needs and can adapt quickly to the wishes you have for the care of your pet. Amanda endured my list of instructions and made me feel at ease that my pets would be well taken care of and treated like a member of the family during their stay. I never had to worry about their well-being or safety and I received pictures of my pets while they were in her care to put my mind at ease. I can always rest easy when my pets are being cared for by Amanda and they are always so happy when I get there to pick them up. I plan to use Amanda every time I need a pet sitter. Top notch love and care provided.”
Tionna J.
“Ti (Tionna) is wonderful and my girls love her. She cared for my 2 cocker Spaniels as a live in pet sitter several days during my daughter’s out of town wedding. I do not board my pets and Ti made our absence like a sleepover for our fur babies. Highly recommend her as she is honest and hard working, and has a special touch with animals. She also assists our groomer who is also wonderful. My youngest cocker is quite anxious but now is absolutely fine to go to the groomer because she trusts them.”
