As always, Monica was extremely professional and took great care of our pets. It gave us peace of mind to know that they were in good hands while we were gone.

Ken was really great for my special needs cat and my reactive dog. He was patient and kind with my dog as she warmed up to him and followed all the little nuanced instructions for my elder cat’s routine. I was gone for four full days and returned to calm and happy pets. This was my first pet sitting experience, and he immediately set my mind at ease. He sent pictures and notes every day. Definitely recommend. Im looking forward to him pet sitting again! Thanks Ken!

About: I have always cared for animals both in my family as well as with friends and neighbors for approximately 13 years. I am an NC State graduate with a B.S. in Animal Science with a lot of knowledge to bring including the best ways to care for your animal, ensure their safety, and even train new commands. Not only can I care for dogs and cats, but I can also care for rodents, birds, reptiles, etc. During the summer I will be mostly available during the week. I am currently a full time master’s student and will be able to fit pet care into my schedule both during the week and on the weekends. I do work most afternoons beginning at 2:30 pm but times are adjustable. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person in a very safe neighborhood in Raleigh making neighborhood walks super easy. Walks will be easy to take and I will ensure both indoor and outdoor playtime. I do have roommates but they also love animals and work during the day most days.

About: I’m a pet mom of six full grown cats and two dogs. i’ve had them their entire lives. I rescued one of my cats from a ditch in a parking lot. I work early mornings so that I am available afternoons and evenings any day of the week. I am often in Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham and Hillsborough. I have a fenced front and back yard so our pets just go out there to pee or poop. We feed our dogs and cats two times a day.

Reese and Melissa are very attentive and caring when it came to my puppy. They were very involved when getting to know Raven. It definitely gives me some peace of mind when I'm working and they are taking such good care of my girl. 10/10 recommend.

About: Hello :) I understand that our pets are our family <3 I have experience with animal anxiety and extreme hyper-ness. I always enjoy a good walk, even in the cold so I can offer you a 30 or 60 minutes walk once or twice a day. I also have experience with basic animal grooming, including baths, brushing, and nail cutting. I can provide frequent photos/videos of your pet to keep you updated and content. Contacting Me: Send a message and I'll reply within that day. I stay at home during the week so whether it is a lazy day or active day my schedule can accommodate your pet no problem! I treat them as though they are my own. During drop in/walks i’ll make sure to respect their boundaries and the home of the owners.

Marissa took great care of my Pluto and Damien. She sent me some great pictures when I was away so that I knew they were being taken care of, and they were clearly well fed and watered while I was gone. She is easy to communicate with as well, and she will be visiting my cats away when I am away for a longer trip. Highly recommend!!

Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs of all kinds and ages. Senior and puppy/kitten pet care are part of my experience. From long walks, to fun games, to specialty foods and injury recovery, I’ve seen and done it all. Your pets will be well loved and cared for by me. Currently, I have a wide open schedule as I prepare for my next job in the next few months. I can do multiple walks a day or stay overnight with pets. I can offer caring for your pets in your own home and will utilize your resources appropriately and safely. My own home, if truly needed, is in a lovely neighborhood for nice walks, with a fenced in backyard. Currently, there are no other pets in the house.
