She took amazing care of Stitch for the week and treated him as if he were her own. She sent tons of pictures, kept me updated the entire time, and made sure I always knew how he was doing and what he was up to. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with her again.

Emma was such a breath of relief for staying at our home and taking care of our 3 dogs. She took them for walks which is a feat in itself as they all have different leash personalities. She kept us posted when one broke a toe nail and it bled some. She even went the extra mile when our flights were delayed due to the government shutdown to make sure they had their potty break. We will definitely being using Emma again in the future.

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. I started caring for animals in high school when I would watch our family dog who was a large Akita mix, and other local pets in the neighborhood. I later adopted my cat Abby who has since traveled the United States with me. I love all animals and am happy to help out with any pet care needs you have for your furry friends! I recently moved to NC and also work at a couple local bars, I'm available for walks most days and house sitting depends on my work schedule - I'll always communicate with all requests regarding my availability! I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.

We were so lucky to find Alison for a last-minute house and pet sitting booking after our original sitter canceled unexpectedly. She was incredibly accommodating and adaptive to the situation, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Alison arrived on time, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly happy and well cared for, and the house was just as we left it. Alison was reliable, thoughtful, and great with our animals!

Georgia was amazing! She took care of our dog for over a week and provided loving care. We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures which helped us feel at ease. Even our neighbors commented on how nice Georgia was to chat with, and how she took such good care of our Cooper. Georgia went above and beyond and cared for our plants as well. We highly recommend Georgia.

About: I have experience taking care of multiple types of animals at the same time. I have 13 animals that includes dogs, cats, and reptiles. I was very involved in the training of one of my dogs and I have dogsat for a friend that has 5 German Shepherds. I also have experience catsitting and reptile sitting. I am currently working and going to school so my hours vary depending on the day.Contact me for a specific time and I will see what I can make work! With dog walking I will take all precautions necessary. Whilst I am walking my own dogs I always carry pet correcter and pepper spray in case of an unforseen circumstance. I will carry this energy with me while you trust me with your dog. I will do everything I can to prevent any accidents. Same goes with the drop ins whether it be with a cat or dog I will be just as dedicated.

We were super anxious about leaving our dog and home but Liz made the experience as stress free as possible. We felt comfortable with here the moment she met us and Gizmo! She kept us updated with pictures of our dog and how he was doing throughout the day. I would recommend Liz to any one needing a house/pet sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you Liz. You rock!

Breanna was the best! Responsive, flexible, and completely reliable- she was able to house-sit our new puppy so that I could leave the house for longer than two hours!! She was overly communicative throughout the day and made me feel comfortable leaving her and the puppy together. Would highly recommend for your pet-sitting needs.

Suzanne was outstanding. We have had several stay in rovers but have been the most pleased with Suzanne and her husband Rick. They truly care for your animals as if they’re family. You’ll get updates, pictures, and your dogs will get quality time if you choose to book Suzanne. Highly recommend for all your pet sitting, or dog walking needs!
