Carrie is the best! She's great with my bulldog, and he is always excited when she arrives. Carrie sends me tons of pics, communicates any issues thoroughly, and seems to really enjoy spending time with my good boy. 100% will book again, and have also recommended her to friends.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and understanding of animals. I have a Great Dane of my own, so I’m experienced with large breeds and know how to handle dogs of all sizes with confidence and care. I’m also planning to become a veterinarian, so I’m passionate about animal health, behavior, and giving pets the best care possible. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra patience and comfort, I treat every animal like my own — with love, attention, and respect. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I already spend time walking, feeding, and playing with my Great Dane, so caring for other pets fits easily into my routine. I love staying active and spending time with animals, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Since I’m passionate about becoming a veterinarian, I enjoy using every opportunity to learn more about different animals and their needs — so pet care isn’t just part of my routine, it’s something I truly look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime or cuddles depending on their personality. I pay close attention to any instructions about feeding, medications, or habits, and I love giving photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe.

About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

About: I am an active triathlete, so your pet will have plenty of exercise and entertainment! My own dog is a pitbull mix, so I have experience with aggressive breeds and large breeds. My family dog I take care of when my parents travel is a senior, so I have experience with senior care. I work a hybrid schedule, and days I am home are very flexible as well as weekends. For a typical home sitting job I will do a morning walk and breakfast, midday walk during my lunch, and evening meal and walk. If your dog cannot sleep alone, I can bring them to my home to sleep in a large crate with a clean bed. I am very active, so whether you have a fenced in yard or a neighborhood or would allow me to drive your dog to a nearby trail, they'll have engagement while you are away. I am also proficient in belly rubs, so your dog will have cuddles and comfort. If your dog comes to my home, I have a fenced in yard they can run in while my dog enjoys his sunbathing. In my home dogs are crated while I am away for their safety.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I genuinely love caring for them. I grew up taking care of farm animals and mostly took care of chickens and stray cats in my area, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. I’ve also have pets of my own, including my cat Onion, who I’ve raised since birth, and a husky named Gunner that I adopted from a shelter. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m very patient and attentive, and I naturally adjust to each pet’s energy! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! I am currently a student, Army ROTC cadet, and athlete at North Carolina Central University. I am usually up really early in the morning for physical training at around 5-7am. I would love to start your animals day off with a morning walk or play session! I have a few classes M-TH and can be available depending on the time. However, I’m free all day on Fridays plus weekends. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities. I will not be caring for pets in my home because I am in a dorm for school, but in a clients home I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and in a clean environment at all times. I’m very observant to behavior and mood changes and will communicate regularly.

About: I've had dogs for most of my life, some with health conditions that require medication, so I'm no stranger to the necessities of caring for a pet. I've also had friends who have trusted me with dog sitting and walking their dogs. Providing as much care to pets allows the opportunity to establish a good relationship with them and sooth any kind of anxiety they may experience when their owners are gone. During walks I make sure your dog is not exposed to any danger, such as keeping them away from any moving cars. Staying alert for any other dogs to prevent any kind of behavior that may cause harm. I also make sure to pick after them to keep a safe environment. While dropping in to keep a pet company I make sure they have sufficient water and food, if they need to relieve themselves and play with them/ offer back rubs to sooth them.
