“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”

Our dog was absolutely spoiled with attention and care. We are so grateful to Erica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Lesley and her family took such amazing care of our dog, Banjo. Banjo was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt at home with them.

I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Left my pup with Tiffany and her family for over a week and I honestly didn’t think he was ready to come home! Tiffany sent pictures and updates and was so so sweet and loving.

“Kayla- she’s trustworthy, reliable, and makes every effort in her communication to let you know the status of her visits. I highly recommend & this is the 2nd time we are using her services. Thank you, Kayla!”
“Gwen cared for my two kitties as if they were her own. She was able to notice a change in behavior of my 16 yo cat and alerted us in time to help her. She stayed with her until we were able to make arrangements to come home early. My cats really liked her too- which is highly unusual. Would 100% recommend Gwen and would entrust our pets care to her again.”

“Annalia is absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking her to watch Pickle, and she is officially our go-to sitter. She was punctual every single day and sent great photo updates that put my mind at ease. She is friendly, communicative, and truly went above and beyond—even cleaning up a sickness mess and keeping me informed immediately. Pickle was happy and relaxed when I got home. I can’t recommend Annalia enough!”
“Ana was great to work with! Very nice. Obviously comfortable with animals. Flexible in setting up a meeting time. I came home to a very happy and healthy cat. I would recommend her to anyone for pet care.”
“We’re so glad we found Sharon to check in on our cats while we were away! We’re new to the area and had to move away from our beloved animal sitters, and Sharon stepped into the role beautifully for our girls. She took great care of them, playing with them and making sure they were healthy and safe in our absence. We’re so grateful and can’t wait to have her back!”
About: I have extensive pet care experience, mainly with dogs, but cats also. I have experience caring for special needs dogs. I would love to care for your pet while you are away! I am lucky to have a very flexible schedule right now, so I can usually be available for a walk or drop in at any time of day! Before caring for your pet, I will ensure we are in communication about your expectations. I want to keep your mind at ease while you are away from your pet, so you know they are safe and happy,
“Chiara was FANTASTIC! She was able to help me in such a pinch and truly treated my puppy like a little prince. She always updated me on what they did during her drop in, when he ate, and when he went potty. She would send multiple photos each time and was just such a help during a stressful period. I felt SO much better knowing my pup had a buddy to see him during the days. I couldn’t thank her enough and highly recommend 🥰”
About: In addition to dogs and cats I’ve taken care of many different types of animals like goats, chickens, and bearded dragons. I give medications, including pills and injections such as insulin. I have online summer classes so I have a free availability to come and stay with your pets whenever. I just need WiFi and an outlet and I’m set. I take time to get pets comfortable with me in order to decrease their stress levels. I strive to keep the pets in my care at ease and their routine natural.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bells
“Once again, I can’t say enough about Linda and her abilities to care for my dog (Chester). Today he was even hesitant to leave as he had so much fun playing with her dogs. I am most highly recommend Linda.”
“Angela did a wonderful job looking after my very anxious, older dog - and sent me pics showing her settled in and calm on a day when I was quite concerned about her. I have already booked a 7 day boarding with her in June.”
“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I love spending quality time with pets, especially taking long walks to keep them active and happy. I am attentive to each pet’s needs, whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a shy cat. What sets me apart is my dedication to making every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while providing exercise, attention, and plenty of fun during our walks. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to care for pets. This allows me to provide regular attention, playtime, and multiple walks, ensuring each dog or cat feels loved and engaged while their owners are away. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. At my home, pets have a secure, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I supervise all activities, provide regular meals and water, and ensure that walks are safe and enjoyable.Owners can trust that their pets are treated with love, attention, and respect at all times.
About: Hi! My husband and I live in Apex. We have 4 kids, ages 10 and 13 (two sets of twins so only 2 ages!), and one cavapoo. I am a nurse and now work as a case manager from home. Pets have always been a huge part of my life and I’ve passed my love for animals onto my children! We lost our 4 year old goldendoodle to lymphoma and that left a huge void for our family. While we are not quite ready to permanently welcome a new family member, we have a lot of love to give your pet when you are away. You can leave your pet knowing they will be treated just like our own with lots of rubs, cuddles, and walks! Our dog, Max, loves a playmate. Our children are great with animals as well. We have raised our pets from puppies, taken care of family members’ pets when they are traveling, and checked in on neighbors dogs when they are away. There is always someone ready and willing to play with or walk your pup. I work from home so am available to provide your pet the care they deserve. On the occasion I have a meeting out of the house, I am able to schedule it around the needs of your pet as I have complete flexibility over scheduling. My husband is a teacher so is also free to help by early afternoon. We do not have a fenced yard, but there are sidewalks, greenways, and dog parks all around us. We take our own dog on multiple walks per day, so are often outside. We have an open floor plan with lots of room for playing fetch. Because we have raised 2 dogs from puppies, we have a crate available if needed as well.
“We are very grateful to Tetyana for taking care of our Bella. Kind and reliable people, always in touch, keep us informed of how our dog is feeling. Bella already considers Tetiana's house to be another family place for her.”
“Sarah is super flexible with my odd schedule, and gives Ellie pup a comfy and fun stay! Ellie comes home very sleepy and content from her nice days with Sarah. Would recommend.”
About: My own pet a Viszla named Buddy passed away recently. I raised and trained him since puppyhood to be a 'buddy' who accompanied my daughter and I everywhere in life: home, work, socials, etc. I miss him very much and hope to have a chance to provide the care and 'love' to your 'buddy' when your away that he or she needs. Currently semi-retired, living a simple healthy active lifestyle with some time and flexibility to provide the same for your four-legged family member while your away. I have a ranch-style home that doesn't have a lot of yard but is in a community with lots of walking, numerous pocket parks, other outdoor amenities and is close to the American Tobacco Trail.
“Our sweet Fred had such a great day with Tiffany and Chase! I'm always worried for Fred to stay somewhere new for the day but Tiffany was so communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout the day so I could see that he was happy and having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Manasa was so friendly and Flexible! I loved being able to drop off my dog when I needed to. All I had to do was let her know my eta. Her whole family have my dog love. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I focus on consistency and safety, and making sure your dog feels like a welcome part of our home. Your dog will receive attention and play throughout the day. I work from home and have plenty of time to supervise and play with your pups! Our 4 year old goldendoodle welcomes all breeds to our home. We keep an active, outdoor family lifestyle out our house- lots of hiking, walking and swimming with our dog, and daily play in our fenced back yard. We will let your dog's schedule lead the way! I watch dogs from my home. Whether you prefer to crate them or let them choose the place they rest at night, I'm flexible and can work to make your pup feel as comfortable and as at home as possible.
“Wonderful care! I could tell my dog had a great time and was calm and happy when I picked him up. He got to play in the backyard with Anna’s dog which was a huge plus for him. Would recommend Anna as a sitter for any dog, especially energetic playful ones like mine!”
“Jessica took such great care of our Addie girl! We were needing care while we were out of town and Addie loved it. She had excellent communication and organization. She sent pictures regularly.”

“Annalia was great! I really appreciated that she was able to come over (last minute on my part) to do a meet and greet the day before walking our dogs. They seem to love her and it’s a huge relief to know they are being doted on while I’m at work. Also the pictures are so adorable and really capture their personalities well.”
About: I have grown up around animals and throughout that time have gained skills that help with sitting and with that it allows me to be a better sitter. I have been around all ages of cats and dogs my whole life and have been sitting regularly since I was thirteen. I’m currently in school and not very busy with classes, so I’ll be readily available to fulfill any petting sitting needs that are needed. I will usually check in and/or walk in the morning or in the evening. My dog gets walked twice a day at minimum because he tends to want to get that much energy out. This usually happens at night and I would be able to walk any dogs at the same level which I do mine.
“VERY friendly, AND responsable!! I was out for three weeks and Dakota came and walked Chelita twice a week. I would 100% recommend Dakota to anyone, and if you need to add details, she's flexible enough to follow them accordingly👌”
About: Hi, friends! I’m Alexa, mama to 2 human babies and 1 fur baby. I started my first pet sitting business when I was in middle school and have cared for almost every animal you can think of! I am super friendly, responsible, and organized. You can rest assured I’ll give your fur baby loving care while you are away! I’m currently not working full time so I have loads of weekday flexibility, outside of drop-off and pick-up times at school! Weekends are a bit trickier but I will do my best to work with your schedule. Aside from caring for basic needs, I’ll give your fur baby lots of love while I am with them. The more detailed instructions you can leave for me, the better! I want to know it all: your pet’s likes, dislikes, favorite toys or treats, etc.
“Tina has been a great. She has really helped us during a stressful time. She has really bonded with our puppy. Her ability to walk him is one less thing I do not have to worry about.”
“Jenny is an absolute delight!! She is very interactive, personable, and Nikko absolutely LOVES her! We loved seeing the photos of Nikko while we were out of town for business! She did so much for our dog, and we can’t wait to book her again!!”
“Julie is everything you want in a sitter... Reliable, caring, and communicative are just a few words that come to mind. She is one of the few people I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with.”
About: I have two doggies of my own. Both of them are senior dogs with young hearts, and they are still very active. My experience comes from being a dog owner. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. During the week, I work from home, which makes caring for my dogs easier. I’m able to walk them, feed them, and play with them during my breaks. My weekends are free, which gives me extra flexibility for longer walks, additional playtime, grooming, and any extra care they may need. It also allows me to spend more quality time with them and make sure they stay active, happy, and comfortable. I have two senior dogs who love going for walks and visiting the dog park. Both of them also enjoy going on car rides. They are definitely very spoiled.
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”
About: I grew up with 4 dogs - 1 Labrador Retriever and 3 Golden Retrievers. And now me and my wife Fey are sharing our lives with our Husky, Dave. Having taken care of them through all the stages of their lives, I feel like I'm now in a position to care for other’s pets. We’ve had boarded dogs with different sizes, ages and energy levels. Also managed medications and food restrictions. Dave is great with other dogs, so he can be a great company for your best friend! I work in a very stress free job from home that allows me plenty of flexibility. As a result, I have a bunch of time to play with and care for my own pet as well as pets temporarily in my care. I live in an apartment with my partner and our adorable Husky so dogs and cats will have the company of a lovable, caramel colored ball of fluff. Pets are, and have been a big part of our lives and their needs come before ours (at least the way I grew up!). No area in the house (including the bed), is off limits. We're big on cuddling and love pets that share the same love for cuddles!
