“I’m so thankful for Maria. She was very communicative throughout my entire trip and I felt much better knowing she visited nox. Her notes were very thorough and nox seemed to enjoy her visits!”
“Anna is absolutely wonderful! Our cat, Bandit, is usually skittish around new people, but he warmed up to Anna very quickly. She was so good with him. She sent pictures every day with notes about how he was doing. We are so happy to have found her! She is delightful to be with, and we look forward to having her stay with Bandit again. In fact, when we came home to a clean house, Bandit looked at us like "ok, you guys are home, but where is my Anna?"”
About: Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs almost all of my life. The only time I didn’t have a pet was when I first moved away from home, but I got my wonderful dog, Poppy, as soon as possible. Followed by our gentle Snoopy and now Kevin Bacon the cat. I look forward to making your pet feel loved and cared for however long they need it!! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I work remotely from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I do have a toddler at home but can coordinate care or bring him along when possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for walks or drop in visits. I’ll treat your home like my own and make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible.

“Brooke was great taking care of our cockatiels! She communicated every step of the way and even accommodated us as the snow storm got in the way of our trip. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kevin was in good health and generally happy to see me after our time away. David kept up with him and made sure he had what he needed and played with him and socialized with Kevin daily.”
“I couldn't have done it without Caitlyn's help. I've booked her services twice and will continue to do so. She was very flexible with both her and my schedule, accommodating my needs, and accepting my request on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Caitlyn also brought in all my packages and took excellent care of my cat, Ralph, while I was out of town. I highly recommend her!”
“Valari was very responsive and attentive! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her again next time we have a trip!”
“Very attentive pet sitter. We have e a cat that needs meds, and she was able and willing to smash up the medication and get into his food. Another of our cats was feeling under the weather and she communicated this to us and was able to care for her. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: Friendly, Reliable Pet Sitter I’ve loved animals my whole life and have always had dogs and cats as part of my family. I’ve also lived with roommates’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that means going for walks, playing in the yard, giving plenty of attention and cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also comfortable helping with oral medications when needed. Beyond pet care, I’m happy to help with small things around your home while you’re away, such as watering plants or gardens and taking out the trash. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands! 🐾
“I wouldn’t definitely use Emily again. She is thorough, caring, and willing to work with us on what our cats needed. She goes above and beyond to ensure everything, even the littlest details are taken care of.”
About: I grew up with an animal loving parent who taught me the value of respecting and caring for animals. She always had multiple dogs and cats in our house that I aided in the care for. As an adult I now have my own two cats! I work from home doing a very laid back IT job that gives me plenty of free time. I can be very flexible with my schedule. As long as there is a stable internet connection I can stay for long periods of time. My work hours are Monday - Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. I only request to arrive at the location either before 9 AM or after 5 PM My cats live inside and I make sure to give them all the attention and play that ask for as well as keeping their environment enriched. They are on a feeding schedule of three meals a day including one treat and lots of cuddles!!

“They were amazing! I was nervous to leave my pups but they were so tuckered out when they got home and I know they took great care of them while staying there! Will definitely use them again when I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and recently gained experience caring for cats, birds and rabbits. I have also spent some free time volunteering in animal shelters so I am comfortable with all animal sizes. I hope to care for your fur baby soon! I currently work remotely full time which allows me to spend time with pets who are in need of boarding. Because of my time at home, pets will receive lots of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who are fully vaccinated and enjoy playing with others. One is an American foxhound and the other is a great dane
“First and best experience with a pet sitter! I’ll always have her watch my pups, she treats them like her own family! My doggies are well cared for and I feel mentally at ease.”
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was old enough to walk! I have a cat and great dane, and have had many other small pets in the past. I walk my great dane every day and I am happy to take care of your little loved ones! I am a full time student and work/volunteer part time, so I try to be as flexible as I can with clients. I am happy to make space in my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I do not leave pets unattended. I am very observant and quick on my feet. Your pets safety is my #1 concern. My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
About: We're conveniently located just off of hwy 401 and near I-95 and I-40. I've always had family pets since I was the age of 2. I've cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I've been a midwife to many previous cats, bottle fed, watched live births of pups, and administered oral medications. I am always available for play time and snuggle time. I currently work part-time and am only away for 6 hours during the day. During this time my husband or my teen are usually home for part of that time. It's perfect because our pets aren't left all alone for very long. I have 2 dogs, one is playful and one is very relaxed. They have been around other dogs a number of times and loves playing at the dog park. They are friendly. At night our dogs are able to go upstairs and sleep in our room. During your pups stay, they are welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. We have a spare room downstairs that I'm happy to stay in if they need that (my dogs take up our whole bed upstairs). If your pup is crate trained and prefers their crate, I suggest you bring it for their stay so they can feel more at home.
“Marlon was great with our pup, it was Genji’s first time with daycare, first time being away from home and he was a little anxious but Marlon made sure Genji felt comfortable. He”
About: I have taken care of pets practically my entire life! I have tons of experience with many breeds and temperaments, and have two dogs of my own. I am able to adjust to any schedule your pet may need to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your loved fur babies so I try to send a good amount of pictures and updates to keep you informed. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to run and play, and a surplus of toys my dogs would love to share. I work from home so I am able to have a flexible schedule and can work with whatever schedule your pet needs to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. Dedicated pet sitter prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. Whether in your home or mine, I tailor care to suit each pet's needs. I create a secure setting and build a trusting relationship, ensuring your furry friends feel at ease during their stay.
About: When I was 3 we had cats in the house and a dog. As I got older we had more cats and dogs. I have always been around them. I currently have 2 labs & a beagle. I have experience with elderly dog care, puppy, administering medication & monitoring input and output. I do know how to clip dog nails & clean their ears as well as bathe them. I am a full time mom and I stay home with our 3 children. My children love to be outside so we spend a lot of time outside playing with our dogs. We have a fenced backyard - about .4 acres fenced in. We live in a development and go on walks with our dogs. We have built in dog crates in our entertainment center where dogs could sleep if needed. We also have a dog fence we could make a play area for.
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.

“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”
About: I’ve always been the known as a reliable dog sitter & walker in my hometown in Illinois. Since moving to Raleigh I’ve missed spending time with fury companions. There’s no task I dislike. I work from home and have an easy schedule so I’m able to pop in as needed. I don’t mind a fury companion to come spend time with me in my home. Since I work remote, I can work anywhere the dog feels most comfortable I.e your house. I have three fenced in areas for dogs at our complex. If the dog does not get along with others, no biggie they have single areas. A dog park is right across the street as well. If I come to your home I will stick with your daily routine and treat him/her with tons of walks!
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. My father used to be a breeder and I would always help him with feedings and training. I am currently a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty time and energy to care for your pets, I will give them all the best love I would give my own I have a huge beautiful yard to play in. Home is somewhat close to the road but it is not a busy street at all.
About: While I have loved dogs all my life, about 20 years ago I discovered a passion for dachshunds and small dogs in general. For about the past two years, I have been working with a rescue agency based in Tennessee, where there are not enough foster homes. I began with assisting in transport of rescue dogs into Foster, and then became a foster home myself. My own dogs have been adopted, and I have extensive experience with issues of aging, small dog problems in general, and administering medicine. I am caring, compassionate, reliable, punctual, and will treat your baby as if it were one of my own. I am able to accommodate requests and. special needs. Your baby will vacation in my home while you are out of town. Now that we are retired I am happily at home with my dogs and yours. We do early morning walks before the day gets too hot. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that will keep your fur baby company I have crates and x-pens here and can use them as needed, and my dogs are gated n the kitchen if I have to go run an errand.
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s energetic puppy care, patient senior support, or helping shy pets feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while owners are away. As a pre-VMT student with a strong passion for animal care, I focus on safety, communication, and treating every pet like family. I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and those I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I am currently working part-time while also in school full time. My time for pets is fairly open and will try my best to find a time that works for all involved. In the clients home I follow each pets normal schedule to make everything run as smoothly as possible and keep them feeling safe and comfortable while their pawrent is away. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and yard clean up. For drop-in visits and overnight stays the same applies.
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.

About: I have been a dog owner for four years now, but since I can remember I have taken care of dogs. I have watched over neighbors and family friends dogs for hours up to days if they go out of town. I have worked with puppies to dogs with powered sugar faces, all are amazing. I can’t wait to be involved in your pups life! I work a part time job and I am looking for some extra income on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I will be going to college in the fall so this gives me some time to form amazing and genuine relationships with some furry friends. I would make sure that all pets have there needs taken care of. It is so important to me that each client I have feels like their pup is In good hands. The details matter.
About: I've had dogs for over 15 years and a cat for almost 10 years and love taking care of them. I currently have 1 older cat living with me and he is very kept to himself. He's a sweet little guy who isn't bothered by other animals as long as they don't bother him! My availability is any time between classes which are scattered throughout my week. This is a small part time job I've taken for fun while going through my medical school journey so I spend most of my time studying. However, I will happily take your pet to a nice study spot! I'd also love to spend my study breaks on walks or runs with your furry baby! I am very flexible with timing and cancellations. Though I don't have professional experience, I have been around animals all my life. I'm very good at following directions and love learning new things. If the dog has special necessities, I am willing to accommodate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a student. I often take dogs with me to quiet, dog‑friendly study spots, and I use my study breaks for walks, playtime, or runs. Because my class schedule is scattered, I’m very flexible throughout the week and can adjust care times as needed. Spending time with pets is a fun and refreshing part of my day. I care for pets by sticking closely to their regular routine and following all instructions for feeding, walks, meds, and special needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort through walks, playtime, or relaxed hang‑out time. In my home, I have one older cat who mostly keeps to himself and does well around other animals as long as they don’t bother him. If needed, he can be comfortably kept separate in a bedroom he’s used to. I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress‑free for both pets and owners.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pug owner, I know pets are family—not just animals. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they receive consistent, loving care while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication, because I know how reassuring that is when someone else is caring for your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and occasional overnight care before and after work, as well as weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives dependable, attentive care and plenty of love while you’re away. As someone who works in the veterinary industry and has a dog of my own, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own while following your instructions closely to ensure they stay happy, healthy, and safe.

About: I am a very caring person who loves all animals. I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old and have also helped raise my sister’s cats. I love to give all pets the love and attention they deserve. I can house sit, walk, check in, bathe, or whatever you may need to help care for your pet. I work from home most of the time so I can be flexible to you and your fur baby’s needs. I have raised dogs of pretty much any size so no dog scares me. I can’t wait to meet your sweet pets! I work from home 3-4 days a week so I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet. I can work weekdays or weekends, days or nights. I take care of pets by trying to give them the same love and attention as they would get from you. I try to make them feel comfortable and right at home as much as possible.
About: Friendly, Reliable Pet Sitter I’ve loved animals my whole life and have always had dogs and cats as part of my family. I’ve also lived with roommates’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that means going for walks, playing in the yard, giving plenty of attention and cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also comfortable helping with oral medications when needed. Beyond pet care, I’m happy to help with small things around your home while you’re away, such as watering plants or gardens and taking out the trash. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands! 🐾

About: I have experience caring for different kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. I currently have three dogs, a cat, and a tortoise, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family — I’m attentive, caring, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I have a fenced-in backyard, which gives dogs a safe space to play and enjoy themselves. Pet care is already part of my daily life since I take care of my own dogs, cat, and tortoise every day. Feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up are all part of my routine, so adding care for other pets fits in naturally. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making it part of my weekly schedule feels very rewarding. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, with plenty of attention, playtime, and a fenced-in backyard for exercise. I follow their usual feeding and routine so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely — feeding, walks, medication if needed, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and calm. My goal is always to make pets feel loved and secure, whether they are with me or in their own home.

“Amber was an awesome sitter. She sent me pictures and updates, by the time I was back to get my baby he was attached to Amber following her around. I would definitely recommend Amber.”
