Pet Sitting in Stem

“Ashley was great. My kitties were a little taken back at first until they realized she was there to visit, care and feed them. They warmed up. I would use Ashley again. Loved the info and photos she sent daily to keep me informed and share their week while I was away. Thank you Ashley.”

“Kristen is doing a great job taking care of our cats and guinea pig, always available and gentle with them! We already rebooked her many times! A great help for us when we travel! Definitely we would recommend her!!”

“I recently used Kimberly from Rover to take care of my dog, and cats and overall, it was a great experience! Kimberly was very friendly and clearly loves animals, which made me feel comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which was a nice touch and helped me feel at ease while I was away. My fur babies seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned, and I appreciated the attention to detail in making sure all of my instructions were followed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Teresa did a great job with our two cats! We had a last minute schedule change due to a death in the family and Teresa was very understanding and worked with us on that. She sent detailed Rover cards each day with photos and overall was just awesome with communication. Previous sitters could never get pictures of our older cat and Teresa was able to get one everyday. We would definitely recommend her for watching over your fur babies!”

“Marissa has been wonderful. She is on time and takes care of my pups. My pups loves when she comes over to play with them. I continue to use Marissa and recommend her to all pet owners.”

“Brooke was wonderful with my two dogs! One of my dogs is very shy and Brooke was able to get her to finally warm up to her and come out from under the bed! She kept me up to date with their care including photos from each visit. I’m so glad I could enjoy my vacation knowing they were in excellent hands!”

“Alexis was great with our pups and communicative about her visits! She was very good with my dogs even my anxious overly excited Charlie girl.”

About: My family raised me to love and respect animals of all kinds.. but I am not a fan of the reptile family (sorry!). I helped train a family dog during my high school years and became a foster mom/adoption advisor for a rescue in 2006. I have helped about 30 dogs find their furever homes! Personally, I have 5 dogs and 2 cats in heaven, and 3 dogs here with me now. I do provide pet sitting services for friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, and furry caged critters (i.e. guinea pigs, bunnies). I am experienced with dogs of all ages (puppy to senior) and varying temperaments (i.e. fearful puppy mills rescues, timidity with hearing/sight challenges, incontinence) and use positive reinforcement for training. I am currently unemployed, but have worked remote since 2020. I am out and about almost daily throughout the week, but usually not away for more than 6 hours at a time. NC state law prevents unlicensed daycare or paid boarding in private homes. See www(dot)ncagr(dot)gov (slash)divisions (slash)veterinary (slash)aws for more information. When providing drop-in services, I will do my best to honor the requests of the pet parents.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my own dog, Finley, since college! I have all the patience and empathy for dogs who are dog and stranger aggressive, my Finley is one of those dogs. Experience with administering medication and dietary needs. Currently an online master’s student and working as a Nanny in the afternoon/evenings and random full days, looking to fill in some gaps! Unable to commit to long term visits. I have worked in behavioral therapy for 2 years, I understand the power of reinforcement and positive environments! I will go slow and let your dog lead the way, gaining their trust is my priority and I will use all the love and attention needed to get us there!

“Vanessa stole my Tasso's heart!!! She was fabulous! I could not believe the photos AND videos that she sent me. She cast magical spells on the wee chap and caused him to appear like a professional doggy model. I wish I could post the photos Vanessa sent and include the very detailed updates throughout the day of her interaction with my Norwich Terrier. Vanessa simply spoiled my dog and was very indulgent with Mr. Biscuit our fat cat!! I will always book Vanessa first and foremost!”

“Stephanie has been coming by for drop in visits with my pups for a few months now.. They love her! They always seem happily worn out when I come home after she has stopped by to play with them. She's always quick to respond and has saved me a few times when I've needed a sitter last minute. Definitely recommend her for your pup(s)!”

“Brian is fantastic! We had a bit of a hiccup but he handled it like a professional. He communicated with us throughout the entire sitting session. Highly recommend!!”

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: I have taken care of animals off and on since I was seven years old. I love animals and have had many - in my childhood home I have three dogs and two cats. I have one cat right now but I plan on getting more animals in the future. I love large dogs to tiny ones. Because of my schedule I cannot have a dog of my own - which is why I would love to care for yours when you are busy. This is my way of having a dog when I can't due to school and other responsibilities. It is the closest I can get right now so I would be honored to care for your furry family members. I work from home and my work schedule is flexible so I have the ability to decide when I work and when I do not work. I would love to keep your furry companion company, I have not lived with dogs in a couple of years and I do miss it so they will have my complete attention.

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: 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!

“Melissa was wonderful. Her calm sweet energy, and quick availability made us feel very comfortable. Great communication, cute pictures, and friendly updates. Our little guy loved her and we look fwd to booking with her again in the near future.”

Have plenty of dog toys/treats Pets are welcome in my home and neighborhood there are fences so they can have an open space to play and use the bathroom without causing conflict

“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! She obviously has experience with animals, and it appeared they were all very happy with her from the photos. We will definitely use her again. Sincerely, The Peeks Oxford, NC”
