“Carina is the best! She did an amazing job with my Pit. Didn’t think twice about keeping him because of his breed. She’s very sweet and I will request/refer her to anyone!”

“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”


“Dennise was absolutely wonderful with Kash! She was attentive, caring and really took the time to get to know her. I especially appreciated how mindful she was of the heat and let Kash lead the way when she was ready to head back inside. She even stayed and kept her company afterward, which meant so much to me. Kash took to her immediately and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands while I was away. I would absolutely book Dennise again and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi my name is Joseph! I grew up in a veterinary hospital being surrounded by all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I have 7+ years of pet sitting experience for NC State Vet Students and Faculty and currently work for a dog boarding and daycare facility in the Noda area. My background has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, enrichment, and providing attentive compassionate care for every pet. I’m currently working Monday - Friday between 7am-11am (break) 2:30-7pm. On Saturday/Sunday the hours move around alittle but I remain to have a 3-4 hour mid day break for the opportunity to have midday checkups/care. My usual Check-in times when pet sitting have been 10-30 minutes before 6:30-7, 20-40 minutes between 11:30-2, and 20-30 minutes after 7:30. Depending on age, temper and health of the dog the visits can be rearranged for later or earlier visits if needed. With the circumstances of my apartment complex, I do in-house visit of my client instead of having the dog at my home. When arriving at my clients home, I like to first take the dog outside and make sure they use the bathroom. I will update the owner immediately if I see any issues with the pets stool (ie. Blood, Diarrhea, etc). After I like to feed depending on instructed time, or if no meal/ walk the dog around the owners yard or complex if possible. Before leaving I always make sure there is plenty of water and that at least one happy photo. Willing to administer medications in pill form. Also, will always follow clients instructions to a avoid any confusion or accidents.

“Dominique was so flexible and kind about a last minute booking. My pup liked her immediately and happily went off on a walk with her. I got lots of pictures even though it was dark and I didn't expect them! Absolutely will book with her again in the future!”

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. In August 2025, my three-legged Dachshund became paralyzed after a spinal cord injury. He never regained feeling in his back legs, and for nearly 10 months I provided around the clock care to give him the best quality of life possible. I performed daily physical therapy, manually expressed his bladder and bowels, helped him eat, transported him to rehabilitation and acupuncture appointments, and adapted our home and routines to support his mobility. Although he had only one functioning leg, he continued to live a happy, love filled life until we had to say goodbye. That experience gave me extensive hands on experience caring for a disabled companion and deepened my love and understanding of animals. I have a special place in my heart for senior, disabled, and special needs furry friends, and I'm comfortable providing extra patience, medications, mobility assistance, and individualized care when needed. Since losing my dog, I have found myself with extra time and would love to spend it caring for other people's furry family members. I am self employed and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care. I'm also very active and love going on walks, playing outside, or simply spending time cuddling on the couch, whatever makes your furry friend happiest. My goal is to make every companion feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Because I'm self employed and work entirely from home, I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime instead of leaving your furry friend alone for long periods. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, sniff, and explore. Whether your companion loves to stay active or simply relax with someone nearby, I can provide a calm, comfortable environment where they'll feel right at home. Creating a safe, comfortable environment is my top priority. My home is located in a quiet neighborhood and features a large, fully fenced backyard with a 10-foot privacy fence, giving dogs plenty of room to safely explore, sniff, play, and relax. The yard also has plenty of shade, making it a comfortable place to spend time outdoors even on warmer days. Inside, I have pet gates to help manage spaces safely, along with toys, cozy beds, and designated areas for rest and relaxation. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I also provide private spaces where a furry friend can decompress and have some quiet time if they are feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or simply prefer their own space. My goal is to create a calm, low-stress environment where every companion feels safe, secure, and cared for throughout their stay.

I understand how difficult it can be finding a trustworthy pet sitter and someone to care for your fur babies while you’re gone. I will ensure your pet is safe, cared for, and loved while you’re gone! I will treat your pet like my own and keep you updated through plenty of picture updates. Why choose me? - Thorough communication 🗣️ - Playtime, attention, and affection - Upkeep your pet’s normal routine 🐾 - Respecting your home and your pets Currently I’m on summer break and have a flexible schedule through August 15th. My availability after mid August will be updated soon as my fall semester begins. Feel free to reach out with any questions, thank you!

I will go by whatever instructions you give me to ensure that your pet is able to continue their normal routine and taken care of so you have nothing to worry about!
“Winnie did a great job with Turret. I needed her last minute and I didn't put his harness on him. She was quick to respond, problem solved and sent pictures of my sweet boy.”

About: I have had a dog for 7 years. Though I’m now in college so we no longer live together. For most of the those years, I’ve been his main care giver. I’ve feed, walked, picked up, cleaned throw up and poop, taken a tick off of him. Very well versed in the dog sister field. He is also slightly reactive so I have experience in respecting boundaries of reactive dogs. I love to walk. It’s one of my favorite hobbies. Your pup will always get an adequate walk with them. I am currently a college student. Most of my classes are around 9-12 or 4-6. It’s a very gapped scheduled so I’m good to take care of dogs early in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I will always follow the set instructions left for me. I can feed, crate, redirect dogs. I have a loving spirit, me and dogs usually trust and like each other early on.
“Amazing first impression! Shannon is so passionate, kind, considerate, and caring for our pups which is very reassuring with my fur babies! Can’t wait to keep having her care for my fur babies!❤️”
“Tricia is our favorite dog sitter of all time! She sends great pics of our dog and takes her to fun places in the neighborhood while we’re away - she is the BEST!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember!! I grew up in animal hospitals—both of my parents are veterinarians—so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors and medically complex animals. 🩺 I work in office 8-5 M-F but come home at lunch every day to let pets out to potty/say hi. Once I’m off (and on weekends), I do prioritize quality time with your babies at home as well! I try and schedule other engagements (if at all) around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and other routines in your home. I’m very intentional about making sure your pets feel loved and not forgotten, enjoy getting pets outside for fresh air when we can, and prepare ahead by cleaning litter boxes/bowls so each day starts calm and stress-free. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, prevention, and communication. Growing up with veterinarian parents taught me how small mistakes can have big consequences, so I’m proactive about removing hazards and avoiding situations that set pets up for failure. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness or distress and always ask for a preferred veterinarian and approved emergency budget in advance so I can act quickly if needed. If anything ever seems off, I will always reach out by text, call, or FaceTime so we can assess together and decide on next steps.
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life—dogs, cats, and a few rescue stories close to my heart. Though I don't live with them all now, I'm still deeply involved in their lives and care. Animals have always brought me joy and comfort, and I genuinely love building bonds with them. I believe in tuning into their needs and treating every pet as family. I have full-time availability throughout the week and can often accommodate Saturdays as well. My schedule is very flexible, which means I can easily adapt to your pet’s specific needs and routines. At my home, pets will enjoy a clean, safe, and spacious environment, with a large backyard for fresh air and playtime. I also live near great trails and parks for enriching walks. It’s just my husband and me at home, so your pet will receive all the attention and affection they deserve. I always check in about your pet’s routine: meal times, walks, play, or special care needs, because my goal is to make them feel comfortable, understood, and right at home. If I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your instructions with the same attention and love I give in mine.
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and genuine love I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve spent years working with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to gentle senior dogs who require extra time, comfort, and understanding. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail‑oriented, which helps me adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m also experienced with: • Puppy routines (crate training, potty breaks, basic commands) • Senior dog care (slow walks, medication reminders, mobility support) • High‑energy dogs who need exercise and mental stimulation • Shy or anxious pups who need a soft, reassuring presence Hello! I’m Cristina, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys. I’m attentive, gentle, and very detail‑oriented — perfect for dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I follow routines carefully, communicate clearly with owners, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and understood. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get at home. When I’m caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, clean, and loving environment.

Dennise was absolutely wonderful with Kash! She was attentive, caring and really took the time to get to know her. I especially appreciated how mindful she was of the heat and let Kash lead the way when she was ready to head back inside. She even stayed and kept her company afterward, which meant so much to me. Kash took to her immediately and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands while I was away. I would absolutely book Dennise again and highly recommend her!

We just hired Kristi as our dog walker, and she's been wonderful right from the start. Our dog is pretty shy with new people, but Kristi was patient and gentle, taking the time to let her warm up instead of rushing things. By the end of the first walk, our dog was already more comfortable with her. It's clear Kristi genuinely understands dog behavior and knows how to put a nervous pup at ease. Really glad we found her!

Olivia has been wonderful! She’s always prompt, communicative, and incredibly friendly. Gucci gets so excited every time he sees her, which tells me everything I need to know. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring and reliable hands. We’re very happy with her services and look forward to continuing to work with her as Gucci’s dog walker. Highly recommend!
