“We have booked with Alexis multiple times; she is very conscientious and we come home to happy kitties. Alexis remembers the details of caring for the kitties, ask questions, and everything is in order when we get home.”


“Jessie was absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be rebooking with him in the future 🙂. Can't say enough good things about him and how good we felt leaving our old hound dog in his care.”


“We are so lucky to have met Maddy! She is fantastic, flexible, reliable and most of all great with Mo!! Took him no time to get comfortable with her and enjoys her visits! Absolutely love how she gives me a report and fun photos after her visit!”


“Chloe was awesome and very patient while building trust with Casper, who can be intimidating at first, until he learns a sitter is there to feed him. This was a long booking (10 days), and Chloe was consistent and dependable all the way through! She took care of animals and plants, so all the living things I left behind stayed healthy.”


“Marissa did a great job. She persevered when my big dog wasn’t sure about letting her in and then quickly gained his confidence. Got lots of photos and animals looked well fed and happy. All instructions followed. 10/10”


About: Hello there! I’m a dedicated remote worker and the loving owner of two sweet and precious pups. As a true dog lover, I understand just how important it is for your furry family member to feel loved and well-cared for so you have piece of mind. With many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages from playful puppy to wise senior, I provide personalized attention, affection and lots of fun in a peaceful home environment. Your dog will be a cherished member of our family with plenty of snuggles, playtime, walk time, snack time, nap time and gentle care. With the flexibility of my work schedule, I can provide regular walks and potty breaks to ensure your furry friend’s comfort and well-being. You can trust that your precious companion will be showered with love and attention during their stay. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member to our pack! As a remote worker with a lifelong love for dogs, I have seamlessly integrated pet care into our daily and weekly routines. Our well-established schedule includes regular exercise, playtime, snack time, and ample companionship throughout the day! Working remotely allows for timely potty breaks, attention and love to our furry friends. Rest assured, your pet will receive the utmost care and be treated like a cherished member of our family during their stay. We love our furry company and make them feel very welcomed in our home! I have a fenced back yard and two sweet pups who get along famously with all dogs. Inside we have super cozy pet beds and a sofa that all dogs seem to claim quickly!

About: Proud calico cat parent with a big heart for all animals - cats, dogs, and birds included! I started dog walking back in elementary school and have loved caring for pets ever since. I'll keep your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away - reliable, caring, and committed to treating them like family. I work as a delivery driver for Kickback so my schedule is really flexible and I have reliable transportation. I am usually working dinner time hours but I can accommodate for your pets needs! I follow your pet's normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and keeping their space tidy. I also provide updates and photos so you know they're happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my well-rounded experience and genuine love for animals of all ages. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—whether that’s playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet company. I’ve also had experience with basic training, helping puppies learn good habits early on. I treat every pet like family and always aim to create a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. As a student-athlete at Montreat College, my schedule is busy but structured, which helps me stay organized and make time for what I love—caring for pets. Taking care of animals is actually a fun and relaxing getaway from the demands of school and sports. I already care for my own Maltipoo and cat, so it’s second nature to fit walks, playtime, and feedings into my day. It’s something I look forward to and take seriously, always making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow the pet’s routine closely—sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I respect the space and make sure everything is clean and secure. If pets stay with me, they’ll have a cozy spot to relax, plenty of attention, and time outside for walks and play. I focus on keeping things calm and consistent so your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away.

“Absolutely blown away by Marie! She updated us promptly with loads of pictures and a detailed message every day she visited. She noticed when one of our cats got a small scratch on his nose and let’s us know how he was doing! If I ever need someone to watch our animals, there’s not a doubt in my head who I’d reach out to! Thank you Marie for the phenomenal care you gave our cats!”


“We're a repeat fan of Tiffany! Due to her always showing up in the timeframe promised and being attentive to our care list for Dalton and Lucy, we are able to enjoy our time away without worry.”


About: I have 4 pets of my own! 2 cats, a dog and even a guniea pig! I have been caring for animals all through my childhood. Helping family friends with horses and dogs or just helping out at home with foster babies! I work in the mornings at a breakfast shop so evenings I am all free! If I’m needed to stay overnight with an animal I will need at least 2 weeks in advance to work it out with my job! I cannot bring pets to my own home. That is for the safety of others pets since my dog gets along with small dogs only, and my cats are elderly! But I have no problem going to clients homes to care for their fur-babies!

About: My name is Brady, and I’ve been taking care of dogs and kids in my community for around 4 years; I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, cats, and other smaller pets. I have clients who I’ve sat for many times over the years, for days or weeks; and I can handle some of the grosser situations I work part-time and go to school part-time, so I could spend the late evenings and nights with your pets! I also have breaks during the day where I have time to check on pets, so that they’re not alone all day. My dogs at my parents house get walked daily, and they’re checked on regularly. I try to do as many normal feeding procedures as possible.

“Kara was wonderful with my dog, Koa. She didn’t just stop by to let Koa out and feed her...she took extra time to give Koa a nice long walk and really paid attention to her unique personality. Kara clearly respected my dog's needs, making sure she was comfortable and cared for before leaving. She was also easy to communicate with, and it’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.”

“I have known Jennifer for years and will attest to her genuine, strong love and care for animals. I have seen her interact with her dogs and others with gentleness and patience.
