“Lizzy is great! She took great care of our kitties again while we were on vacation. I appreciated her thoughtful updates daily letting me know how our cats were doing. She even noticed a small scratch near my cats eye and monitored it daily to make sure it didn’t get worse. She is very attentive and reliable.”
“Luckaia is great, very friendly and caring, communication is great, and I am very grateful for that! Now I feel much more comfortable being away from my dog, knowing that our furry girl is in good, loving hands. Thanks a lot, Luckaia!”
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve regularly helped friends and family by feeding, walking, playing with, and providing daily care for their dogs, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also grown up with dogs my entire life, having my own since I was 5 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and individual personalities. I am currently a student at NC State University. When I am home for weekends and breaks, I have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I am dedicated to keeping your dog’s routine feel as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether this is through walks, playtime, feeding, and any other special instruction

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and well-being. My experience includes everything from daily walks and feeding to administering medication, grooming, and providing loving companionship. I recently left my career as a mental health therapist to homeschool my child. He has a huge passion for animals, and in addition to our pup at home, we both would like more experiences taking care of and being around other animals. We have time out in the community built into his school schedule each day where checking-in or dog walking would fit in nicely. I will work to build rapport and get to know your pet’s behaviors, routines and any special needs. I’ll strictly adhere to your guidelines for feeding, exercise and any special care needed. I’ll be sure to keep your home secure by locking doors and securing gates to ensure the safety of your pet and home. I’ll treat your home with care and communicate with you regularly. I’m highly observant and will watch for any signs of illness or distress in your pet and will address them and reach out to you promptly.
About: I’ve had family dogs since I was born, and I can’t live without them! I’ve grown very passionate about training my dogs since 2020, and highly value promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle- especially involving physical/mental exercise, socialization, and healthy foods. As a full time nurse, I regularly practice patience, compassion, and consistent routines. I currently work as a full-time night shift RN. However I fit pet care into most of my day whenever I’m home: including morning and evening walks, mental stimulation, monthly vet visits to keep up with medications, socializing my dog at the park multiple times a week I currently live in an apartment with a large dog park to run off-leash. However I love long walks around neighborhoods as well and always try to find public dog parks. I also have a very loving and affectionate 1 year old pup who loves to play and keep others company
“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”
“Caitlin was amazing with our three dogs including our shepherd who is not very stranger friendly. She kept us updated with details and pictures and took great care of them. Glad we have her booked for another weekend in November.”
“Julia was amazing! We felt so at ease with the detailed daily check-ins she left and all of the photos she provided of our cats! They seemed really comfortable with Julia, and she spent a ton of time each day hanging with them which was much appreciated. Both cats barely noticed we were gone!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have some vet experience, and have house sat for many friends. I am very patient with dogs and cats. I treat any animal as my own and have personal training experience with my dog as well. I am currently working part time and have a lot of time during the week and weekends to play with your fur babies to give you a piece of mind! Unfortunately I have 3 animals at home so I am not able to have animals at home :( I love dogs and cats and want to help anyone who may not have as much time to get out with their fur babies or for those that just need a breather!
“Breanna was amazing with our cat Teddybear! Our cat is elderly and we don’t like to leave her, and Breanna sent us daily updates and pictures so that we felt peace of mind. She went above and beyond with cleaning up before she left. I would recommend Breanna to watch anyone’s pet especially if you’re worried about leaving them!!!”
“Leli is an amazing pet sitter. She is communicative and clearly loves being around animals. She sent us wonderful and funny updates each day and most importantly took great care of our cat.”
