“Monica was wonderful with our dog, Chase! She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the photos that Chase had a great time playing with Nova and Arcturus. She was also incredibly flexible when I needed to make a last minute change to our pickup time. I would definitely trust her with Chase again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter! 🐾”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Summer updated me daily with photos and videos. My 7 month old high energy black lab had a blast at her house. I can tell she treated him as her own and he came home tired and we felt as though he was loved by her as he would have been by us. Also I got with her very last minute about watching him and she responded fast and was fantastic. All of his stuff was bagged up when we picked him up. She was a God send thank you Summer!!”
“Morgan took great care of my dog! She kept me up to date at all times and sent me many pictures as evidence that my dog was having a lot of fun! Whenever I need someone to care for my dog, Morgan will be the first on the list!”

“Karen is the best pet sitter ever! We have three kitties with big personalities and special care-instructions: Karen went above and beyond to make them feel not only cared-for but loved. At each drop-in she provided photos and a detailed write-up of how the visit went, which was a delightful relief for an anxious pet-parent like myself. I was truly able to relax while traveling because I knew she was giving them great attention and plenty of playtime. I can't recommend Karen's services enough!”
“Miss Katie was as splendid as ever. By this time Terra has already developed a good feeling for miss Katie, I'm glad she's learned to make a new friend. Katie was communicative as ever especially this time around with Terra having played the escapist, but Katie has got the patience to lead and care for. Thanks again Katie, we're lucky to have counted on you.”
“Stephen did a great job at keeping us informed everyday. All seemed to go well. Unfortunately, my boys are not social at all and hid from Steve every time he came over. So Steve never got to bond with my boys. They were fed and the litter box was cleaned. My house was in order when we got home. Steve is my new go to sitter!”
“Riley was wonderful! She was very sweet, reliable, and took great care of my cat, Lola, during her drop-in visits. I really appreciated the detailed updates and all of the photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Lola was well cared for and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Riley to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will definitely be rebooking her for future visits!”
“Heather was so sweet and attentive to my kitty Gizzi! She went above and beyond in the care of him and helping with extra tasks around the house while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone!! 😊”
About: My cat is almost 7 years old. I love him so much, and I would have more cats if I could. I will take care of your cats like I would my own. I can brush, cut nails if needed, feed, play with, and respect boundaries. If your cat has any special needs or silly requests, I can meet those as well!
“Wow!!! Mafe is wonderful. She put me at ease about leaving Freddie with a stranger. This was a last minute booking as my regular sitter was unavailable. I’m so happy Mafe was free. Freddie was skittish at first but within hours he was relaxed and back to being himself. Mafe sent plenty of pictures and videos. I would hire her again. She is highly recommended by Freddie and me.”
“Jessica was awesome with our cat Bella during our out of town weekend. Always on time, updating us on everything and taking excellent care of our Bella. I would not hesitate to use for services again and very grateful for her help and care.”

I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I require that they are in a crate or in a kennel at night.
About: I have a huge love for animals they are better than a best friend 🤍 I grew up with two dogs & have had all the animals in between. I got my dog Kalie when I was 19 & wish she could just stay around furever. I don’t mind doing extra services for a fee such as baths & nail clippings. I am taking some time off from work & couldn’t think of a better way to spend time doing what I love most! I have open availability just give me a call! I know sometimes their home is where they feel most comfortable to be at so I would love to come to them. I also have plenty of space at our home for them to have fun and be loved!
“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy. So she relied on me to make sure that her pup was happy. I love animals, I have my own and I make sure they get whatever it is they need even if it’s just cuddles. I am a college student, who is home for the summer and looking to earn some extra money. I currently do not have a job. I treat all pets with genuine love, gratitude, and affection. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment as well as the right amount of exercise.
“Sadie hasn’t been to daycare (or boarded) for about 2 1/2 years, but Alexandria put us both at ease. Her pups are adorable and I think Sadie really enjoyed herself! We’ll be back!”
About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
“Rachel is so wonderful. My puppy was happy when I picked her after daycare and slept really well from all of the playtime she had despite spending some time in the crate at my request. Rachel was very accommodating and helpful in keeping our routine and rules and was flexible when I needed to add an extra day last minute. I will most definitely book with her again and would trust her with my puppy any time without any reservation.”

“Miss Juli was very nice and seemed very knowledgeable about dogs. Her house has a large backyard and is located in beautiful neighborhood. She took great care of my 9 month old pitbull mix. He came back home happy and exhausted. We will continue to use her services as needed ❤️”
About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a timid tabby, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and medicine, I have the hands-on experience to handle it all. I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.
About: I know how to adapt to each animal’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is the trust I build not only with pets but with their people. I provide daily updates, adorable photos, and peace of mind while you're away. Whether it's administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering some extra love and belly rubs, I treat every pet like my own. This isn’t just a job, it's a loving passion! Pet care fits into my week really naturally. I'm in school with an easy schedule, so I’ve got the time that makes it easy to fit in morning walks, afternoon visits, or whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s dropping in to feed and play, going for a walk, or just keeping them company, I plan my day around making sure they’re happy and well cared for. Honestly, spending time with animals is the best part of my day—it never feels like a chore!! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In my home, I keep things calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to their normal routines as much as I can—meals, walks, and bedtime, so it feels familiar to them. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure their pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any instructions closely and always leave the place just as I found it, if not better!
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life, my mom has tons of animals as well as family and friends and I am always more than willing to watch and care for them!

I live in a house with a fenced in backyard and know many other people who have dogs as well and always have play dates!

About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.
About: I absolutely adore spending time and playing with dogs, and always make sure they are comfortable and their needs are being met. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, and have had many clients that I regularly dog walk/sit for. I am moving to NC in April and am excited to meet the new puppies there! I have open availability all day until the end of April. After that, I’m hoping to have a part time job and I’ll update my availability. I always follow the instructions given by the pet owner, and make sure that the pet is safe and happy wherever we are and whatever we are doing.

“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”

I’m currently a student so I have a lot of time to spend with your furry friends! My animals are my world and I know that if you’re reaching out to me, yours are your world also! This means they will receive the same attention and prioritization that my own girls get in daily life. I want to work with you to determine how to take care of your babies. Each dog is unique so I take a specialized approach to make sure that yours gets the attention they deserve! I have a reactive dog at home, as well as experience with a wide range of medical issues, so I’m equipped for special circumstances with dogs.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies!

I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have walked and taken care of others’ dogs since I was young. I love dogs and I can provide loving and dependable care for your pet! I am happy to accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a fenced in dog park. For the summer, I am only working part-time from home, so I am able to care for your pets at any point throughout the day!

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two Labs and a Cocker Spaniel, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've also stayed at multiple families' homes to care for their dogs while they were away, so I'm experienced with keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. My Cocker Spaniel takes daily medication for stomach issues, so I'm confident giving medications and following care routines. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping your dog company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently home from college for the summer and only work 1–2 days a week as a lifeguard, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to work around their routine! When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're fed on schedule, taken outside regularly, and get one or two walks a day if that's part of their routine. If your dog sleeps in a crate, I'll make sure they're comfortably settled in at bedtime, or I'll leave them out if that's what they're used to. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
