“Melissa went above and beyond with our babies while we were gone on vacation. Constant communication and reassurance that our kitties were loved and cared for while gone. I will definitely be asking her for help in the future and am happy we met her!”


“Danielle was amazing with Beau. She went over and beyond during the drop in visits. Highly recommend :)”


“Gabbi is literally a godsend. I will be 10/10 be booking her for future sitting needs as long as I possibly can. She made me feel so peaceful and happy knowing that my little ones were in such good hands.”


“Kerrie was Amazing. I had a last minute emergency and a need for someone to stay with my dog for several days and nights. Kerrie dropped everything and was at my house within 4 hours. She is a complete professional and unbelievably caring. My dog was experiencing some medical issues and could not be left at a boarding facility. He could not have been in better hands. I highly recommend her- I could go on for hours. She put my mind at ease!!!!! 5 stars is not enough.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2019. I have a sweet Chihuahua/Corgi mix named Ellie and two horses, Jackie and Wildfire—they’re part of the family! I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays, and I have experience administering medications and caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, or needs extra cuddles, I’ve got it covered with patience and love. I’m also a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and fluent in Spanish. I’m a mom of two girls who were raised around animals and love them just as much as I do—your pup will be in a friendly, loving home! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with two beautiful daughters, and we have plenty of time, love, and attention to give your fur baby! My girls adore animals, and they’d be so excited to welcome a new furry friend into our home, even if it’s just for a little while. We have a spacious yard that’s great for playtime, and I’m also happy to take your pup on walks around our quiet neighborhood. If your dog is crate-trained, I can accommodate that indoors as well—whatever helps them feel safe and comfortable while they’re with us!

“Our cat is not the sweetest but Blakely is ☺️! She taken really good care of our cranky cat Kitz, even though Kitz mostly hisses at her. She’s very responsive whenever we have questions and sends pictures so we know she’s okay. We’re so happy we found a new cat sitter we can trust. Thank you Blakely!!!”


About: I’m a 20-year-old college athlete currently playing volleyball at Gardner-Webb University. I’ve been taking care of dogs for several years and have experience with breeds ranging from French Bulldogs to medium-sized mixed breeds.

About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.

“Kim did a great job watching our cats. She was very communicative, gave them thorough care and time on her visits, and overall did an excellent job tending to them as if they were her own. She also met our dog during our meet and greet, and I'd highly recommend her for any dog care too!”


“Megan is so awesome - I requested last minute due to a death in the family and Megan accepted the job without hesitation. Such a relief to know my kitties are always in such good hands.”

I’m a full-time community college student and work part-time, but I always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Their well-being is my priority, and I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re away! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by providing attentive care, following their routine, and ensuring they feel secure and loved.

I have cared for many types of dogs and I’m very comfortable handling any medical issues as well as social anxiety since I’ve helped mine as well as others with these conditions.

I have a fenced-in yard part of it is what i call my rainy day yard which is truf grass with a 3 ft fence around it ... I also have a 6ft fence around the while back yard for the dry days that make the play space much bigger ... but who wants to play in the rain anyways lol. I do slow introduction with ever new pup that comes in and go at their pace to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while they are staying with me.

About: I am Shaylei, I am 24 years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also worked at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I currently don't work and only have my pup to care for and spoil. I love caring for friends and family's pets, so let me care for yours as well!

“Nicole is AMAZING! I have two miniature schnauzers—one is a senior who needs a little extra TLC, and the other is diabetic with several medical needs. I'm very particular when it comes to the care of my fur babies, and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. She took the time to truly understand their routines and needs, and I could tell she genuinely cared for them. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. She's a true gem!”

Jennye J.
“It is a pleasure to recommend Jennye for her outstanding pet care. Jennye is a great pet owner herself. She's very attentive and caring, as she puts a lot of time and effort into training and caring for her dog. She has done such a great job working on any behavioral issues, training, and socializing. He is a much happier boy since she's had him. She has also gone out of her way to make sure she can help take care of other people's pets just as well. She is reliable on timing when her assistance is needed. She has done an amazing job at calming and befriending my very skittish cats. She keeps my troublemakers occupied and behaved when she is with them. She's always happily greeted or very quickly warmed up to by our fur babies. If I ever have any questions, she is quick to respond. I genuinely, wholeheartedly, trust her with all four of my pets.”

“Caroline is one of the few people I'd ever trust to watch our fur baby. They've cared for our 80 pound pitbull Atlas as if he was their own pet. Caroline is incredibly attentive to even the most mundane of routines for Atlas, making his time away from us not too abnormal. They also make sure to be communicative while pet sitting Atlas, giving us regular updates and cute videos. They're simply the best local petter sitter 🖤”
