“Aj was literally better than I could’ve asked for! So many goofy photos and helpful recaps of visits. I know my girlie was so loved :) will definitely book again”


“Amy was the BEST babysitter we could have imagined. Our bear got his name because he can be a bear with new people and get very reactive. Amy came over before the stay multiple times to meet him and let him smell her good and get to know her. We had complete confidence leaving our boy with her after that. The first visit he was a little hesitant but by the second he was playing happy and LOVED her. We will not hesitate to call her again.”


“Erice is personal and professional. She takes very good care of Sunshine. She's very reliable. She has stayed overnight and done drop in visits. She's a wonderful sitter!”


“Amazing and sweet people! I needed someone last minute and they were able to help me out right away. Rosie and James were the sweetest people ever to my dog and I would definitely book them again!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.

“Brinkley, Thank you so much for helping us out last minute with Duke and Wanda! You left us with no worries while we were away! Look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you!”


“Cassie is an amazing cat sitter - I knew my cat was well loved and taken care while I was away!”


“Elizabeth went above & beyond taking care of our 3 dogs, fish & chickens! Highly recommend!”


“Lillie checked all the boxes perfectly for our needs. She was attentive to our two dogs (one older and one younger / energetic) and our cat. We felt confident and comfortable with our “kids” in her care. Would definitely recommend!”


About: Hi! I come from a loving multi-pet home and I am looking to extend my services in walking, check-ins, and sitting. This would be the perfect solution for those families heading back to work in the office who are looking for some help throughout the day or even overnight. I can provide walks, playtime, out of crate lounge time, as well as meals and medication delivery if that is needed. I am familiar with crate and rotate households and understand and respect the needs of each individual animal. I am happy to chat with you about the specific needs of your pets. Very much looking forward to helping you in the future My work schedule is 24 hours on followed by 72 hours off. This allows me several full days each week of available time to spend caring for your pets I like to make a connection with each pet and treat them as if they are my own. I really enjoy spending time with animals and try to meet pets who struggle with anxiety/stress where they are at.

“Tiana went above and beyond to care for my cat while I was away! She played with him a lot gave him tons of attention, and sent plenty of pictures and videos! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


About: My first word was "cat" because of my attachment to our family feline, Miss Mystery. This first utterance foretold a life-long love of animals though dogs would become the norm in my household. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society and one of my first full-time jobs was a Dog Rescue Attendant. At twenty, I adopted my first dog (outside of family animals, of course) -- a dachshund mix named Leelu -- and she was my steadfast companion for 14 years. I now have a 3 yr. old lab-Australian Shepard mix - Gidget. Both of my girls have taught me invaluable lessons about dog care; specifically, I've learned a lot about different breed personalities and needs, puppy training and enrichment, senior dog care, and limited mobility dog care. I aspire to be the best dog mom possible and I will bring that same energy and commitment to working with your pet. I recently returned to North Carolina and I'm in the process of looking for full-time positions in my field. This process can take quite some time, but allows for a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from 8:00 - 7:00pm - late evenings upon special request; same goes for the weekend. I want your animal to see me as a companion -- a human they enthusiastically greet when we spend time together! Your pet will be treated with the same doting affection I lavish on my own pup. If I'm taking your dog on a walk, I'll make sure they're exercised, but also, they'll get plenty of time to interact with their surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. If I'm dropping in for a "play date," this would look like whatever your dog enjoys the most -- maybe tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or puzzle games (every dog is different!). Regardless of the service, your pet will get lots of attention and belly rubs (if that's their thing). Ultimately, I will seek guidance from you, the owner, and follow your lead on how best to spend time with your pet!

About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)


“I can't say how happy I was to find Amanda! I am new to the area and finding a trusted sitter was such a relief. My kitties were happy, very well cared for, and mom and dad got to rest easy and know they were in good hands while we were away! Will definitely be booking again.”


“Did a first meeting for her to meet my dogs and it was wonderful! My Pip is very skiddish and he warmed up to her immediately. Huge feeling of relief for me! My old girl was also very comfortable with her! Will 100% be using SJ for various visits and help as the need arises!”

I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and meet whatever needs you may have. I will care for your pet just as you do! I will follow your instructions and deliver the best service I can and make sure your pet is happy.

Chelsea L.
“My pup Holly gets so excited when she knows she’s going to see Chelsea. The minute we hit the door it’s like I don’t exist and it’s all Chels. Holly and Gidget (Chelsea’s pup) get along wonderfully. Gig even helped Holly get over her shyness with other pups. Chelsea is a kind, caring and responsible dog mom and my Holly girl loves her. Dogs know good people and Chels is the best.”

Mykayla T.
“Dog snuggles and cuddles have always brought Mykayla genuine joy. That's why I know she would be a fantastic caregiver that would give love and compassionate care to any pup. She is an honest, respectful, and trustworthy person that has been loving and caring for animals of all kinds, her whole life. Dogs however are her favorite.”
