Dog Sitting Summerfield

About: My family got our first dog during the pandemic so I have recent knowledge of the ins and outs of puppy training. I also attended all puppy school sessions so I can provide basic training repetitions such as sit and heel. I love to walk so many walks a day is no problem! I am available on my listed dates. Dog sitting is a great part of my active and outdoors lifestyle. I look forward to playing fetch with your dogs and walking them. I live with a roommates and my living habits are inherently neat and clean. I know how to clean up after making a mess as well and I love to leave the place straightened and tidy.

“These two were absolutely great, they administered medicene,cleaned up the area, cleaned up stool, made sure the area that my elder dog used was always clean and took great care of my babies while I was away. They always checked in with me after every single visit. I 100% recommended, very professional and communicated with me well with any questions, or concerns. I felt very comfortable to leave my four dogs in their care.”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and fish! My cat has epilepsy so I am very experienced with administering medication and dealing with special critters 🥰 I would love to take care of your pets! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate your needs whether it’s walks during the day or overnight stays to make sure they are well taken care of. I would love to keep an eye on your animal(s) in the comfort of your own home. Whether you have shy pets or outgoing ones, I’ll have them covered!

“Lola is so sweet and my dog really seems to enjoy his time with her. Anytime I texted her to check on my pup she was there to answer almost immediately. I will definitely be booking her again. She was super understanding and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch after my puppy while I was away.”

About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello! I love all animals and will be willing to look after your dog and do the best I can to ensure they feel at their best! I graduated from NC State with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science in 2015. I received my Master's degree in nutrition in 2018. I have completed a few internships at vet clinics and shelters. I welcome all dogs as I am most experienced with horses -so big dogs are not a problem! Animals have always been a passion of mine and I know how to pay special attention to dogs and their needs. Generally I can spot common issues and know how to stay calm in an emergency. What the owner suggests, I will keep in mind at all times. There will be no worries about your fur babies under my care! I do work during the day M-F, and do not work from home. So if this isn’t a problem, I will give your fur baby the upmost care and attention when I return from work during their stay! I am home all day during weekends and most holidays! I work full time M-F. However, despite this, I am so attentive to my fur babies. I have an indoor camera where they can be watched while I am gone. If my work schedule is not a problem, I promise your fur baby will have a blast with me! I take it very serious for fur babies to be tended to and watched. I am very cautious and think of their safety, always. I am very communicative and will notify owners of anything that is an emergency! I ask many questions to make sure your fur baby feels safe and as happy as they can be in my or their home.

“Adam did a great job with my sweet pea, especially since he didn't know sweet and she didn't know him , looking at the pictures she looked comfortable with him”

About: I grew up with dogs big and small! I’ve handled elderly dogs that needed diapers and help walking, given medication to dogs who dont want them, and taught boundaries and basic commands to a dog who was untrained. Whatever your furry friend needs, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently free almost every single day! Im a home body who was laid off recently so this is my current job! I do not have any other permanent plans during the week and can be free when needed! I prefer to work in the client’s home as that is the pet’s safe space. I can adapt to any life style a pet requires of me. Some prefer 2-3 walks a day. Some cannot walk a lot and need to be helped. I understand every pet is different and with that comes different types of care for the pet.

“Bre is the best! This was my first time using a pet sitter that wasn’t a neighbor. Bre is super friendly, gives detailed reports, sent pics of my cat, gave my cat love and attention. Bre you went above and beyond! Thank you for making my first experience an amazing one!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a pre-med student at NC State that is looking to continue caring for animals and enjoy doing it! I am home for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which helps me stay consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time. I ensure they are always fed, hydrated, cared for, and active throughout the experience to ensure the pets remain happy and healthy. I will play with the pet and take them for lots of walks. I will also clean up any and all messes to maintain a clean environment.

“Erika was exceptional! She took care of our two cats for 6 days and did a wonderful job. She was reliable, consistent, and responsive. She sent us daily photos, and it put our minds at ease just knowing our kitties were being well cared for by her. She even checked in to ensure we were back home so that the cats had continued care. I highly recommend her services and would rebook with her again for sure.”

About: I’ve raised two dogs, Kiz and Dax since they were both 8 weeks old. Dax is now 14!! Kiz left us sadly due to old age. I have extensive experience with puppies, dogs and seniors, kittens, cats and turtles. I can administer medication orally and topically. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids, with my own business that I run out of my home office. I have a very flexible schedule and time to care for your fur babies. I am trustworthy, experienced, and currently have multiple families that I do drop-ins for! I enjoy each and every one of the animals that I watch and treat them as my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have dog sat for my friend’s families a few times either by dog sitting or just checking in on them. I have interacted with many different breeds of dogs. I am currently finishing online school and waiting to go back to college in the fall so I am am able to take care of your pets within a flexible schedule. I have a 6 year old border collie/german shepherd mix and just recently had a pit/lab mix pass away. My 6 year old now is walked and played with everyday and she is well trained. She gets a treat a day and fed morning and night.

“Thanks Amber! I got home and Blitz was on “his” chair and the house was intact! Your pictures with him were very cute and it seemed like you two got along very well. I hope he did not leave you with any holes in your socks! He is definitely a chewer. I will definitely call on you again and thanks for taking such good care of Blitz.”

“Griffin was great with our dog. She took care of their needs, including medication. I also appreciated the pictures from each drop in visit.”

About: I am a dog lover at heart! My family had a dog (or two) in the house and I always helped out in caring for them. I currently have two large dogs myself that are the light of my life! Dogs really are a gift to us. I have experience with puppies and the whole potty training ordeal, elderly dogs (one of the pugs was mine and was partially blind) and administering basic oral prescription meds— peanut butter anyone? I am a teacher on summer break with time to spend with you and your fur baby! I can provide morning, evening and night drop-ins to fit your baby’s schedule. I will accommodate all instructions from the pet owner. I have experience in potty training and teaching basic commands. I am relaxed around animals and definitely have the “dog-mom voice” down pat. My own home stays very clean so I will ensure to take care of yours as well.

About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends, family, and newly introduced families have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I grew up around horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, goats, donkeys, and many more creatures. I am a horse-girl that never grew out of the "horse-girl phase." I've worked and lived on a farm in my younger years to specifically watch the horses, chickens, and cows on the property. I am an all-animal-lover, period. My neighbor called on me in fifth grade to help her train her golden retriever puppies. I have cared for animals post-surgery and have had to follow a specific regimen for elderly animals needing to be fed in certain ways, including giving medications. Animals are a passion of mine and a form of therapy for me. I care for all animals as if they were my own. All animals deserve love, period. Bully breeds have a special place in my heart due to the bad rap they receive. I’m currently in school, about to graduate with my masters degree and will be pursuing my doctoral degree beginning in the Fall of 2023. I will have flexibility with my schedule so I will have plenty of time for walks and playing with the furry members of your family! I am available for dog-sitting primarily on weekends, but will also be available during the weekdays to stay and watch over your furry family members. I will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I appreciate meeting with the family before sitting or walking your furry family members as I think it is important for me to understand their specific needs. If they have a regimen they follow, I appreciate the time beforehand to learn the regimen specifically how the family prefers before staying with them overnight. I very much enjoy adhering to guidelines for your specific furry family members and want to keep them safe and loved-on while you are out of the home.
