“We were so comfortable at drop off that we left with no worries. Chantel sent plenty of pictures and videos that made it even more easy to be away from our busy Remi. We are truly appreciative.”
“Lisa treated my dog, Diego, like one of her own! He spent the weekend at Lisa’s house and was spoiled! We knew Diego was being well cared for by Lisa and her sweet family, and that put our minds at ease. We will definitely be booking with Lisa in the future!”
“Kordula was amazing! She took such great care of our dog during the entire stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like family. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Kordula and will definitely book with her again!”
“Joanne and her dogs are amazing. We left our two pups with them and they came home happy and tired, like they spent the whole day playing. It's the first time we felt comfortable leaving them with someone. Thank you for the excellent care Joanne!”
“A wonderful sitter! Kimberley did an excellent job keeping Yasuke. When we got home Yasuke was completely exhausted so I know she had a fantastic time with Kimberley! I would definitely recommend to others!”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“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.”
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.
“Emily did an amazing job taking care of my little fur baby. I could see the joy on my pup's face in the photo updates she sent me! I would recommend Emily to anyone. 10 out of 10!”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
“It’s hard to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, but Carol was wonderful. Great communication, very caring, and reliable. I highly recommend Carol!”
“Kaitlyn took such good care of my 4yo husky. She was very responsive and was flexible in making adjustments to the booking.Overall, my dog had a blast staying at Kaitlyn’s house and would highly recommend.”

“Ksenia is amazing and treated my dog like one of the family. After a bad experience with a different pet sitter, she completely restored my faith in Rover. I’m so glad to have found her and have already booked my dog’s next stay!”
“We left our 3 yr old Bulldog with Kaitlin, Jeff & Kids for a week and had an amazing experience. Our pup absolutely loved being at their house. She was treated like she was their own dog!! She loved playing with all the kids and their pups. Communication from Kaitlin & Jeff was fabulous! We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Amber was simply the best! My family and I felt so comfortable with her from the get-go. She has warm and happy personality and her love for dogs is obvious. She kept us updated w/ photos and texts and we never had a worry that our dogs weren't in the best of hands. We will use her again, absolutely, if she's available for our next time away. Thanks Amber!”
“This was the first time I’ve ever left Zara with anyone outside of my home. But, let me tell you….Zara and I feel extremely lucky to have found and been able to use Lesley for Zara’s stay. Lesley and her family were absolutely amazing and took such good care of Zara. It was clear that Lesley loves animals and takes this “job” seriously. Lesley and her family truly welcomed and treated Zara as their own. It took Zara a while to warm up being in a new environment and all. But, once she did, you could tell she was enjoying herself. Lesley cared for Zara in the same way(s) I do; following our usual eating, sleeping, and playing routines. Lesley maintained great communication with me and provided me with updates and several pictures and a video. All of which eased my anxiety a ton! I can’t praise Lesley and her family enough! I will be booking with Lesley again in the future. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!”

“Brooke was so amazing! Nala absolutely loved her and she was very easy to get ahold of whenever I had questions, plus always provided many check in photos. Will definitely be booking her services again in the near future.”
“Loved Carol! She stopped by to take care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She was very helpful and communicative, and we would love to have her watch them next time we’re gone too. Thank you, Carol!”
“Heather was INCREDIBLE! I have a rather large family of kitties and she didn't hesitate to come and learn about each of them, spend time with them, and make them feel comfortable while I was traveling. I would trust her to come back anytime and may be booking her again soon as we finalize our moving plans. A kind person, sent me plenty of photos, has great experience, and my cats loved her. They were far less stressed having Heather come by each day to play with them, feed them, take care of their litter, etc. I cannot say enough good things!”
“Jenna was great, and I had no worries leaving my fur baby in her care. She was kind, took lots of pictures, was prompt to reply to any messages. Would love to use her services again in the future!”
About: Will treat your pet just as if it’s my own. If you need a bath I will. Love giving back to community. I am also a fire fighter. I work full time for my parents company m-f 8-5, can take pets out during lunch break and after work. In addition have darts on Wednesday but if close by I could swing by and spend time before going darts. I treat pets just as if they are my own pet/ child cause I know how special they are to people. Pets bring joy to me
“Great friend to our dog! Brittany gives good reports of her visits and makes sure your pet is cared for and attended to properly. Our dog is always happy to have her checkin on him.”
“Gigi was amazing! She got to know our kitties before coming to house sit, she kept me updated with pictures and statuses throughout each day, and she answered promptly when I would reach out. She made sure to ask me before doing anything we hadn’t previously discussed and is an overall sweetheart! I will 100% use her again and I recommend the same to others.”
About: Our puppy is with us whether we're mountain biking, hiking, camping, hitting softballs for her to fetch, playing ping pong, or doing projects around the house. She's our shadow and we love her. We currently live with four cats and a medium sized mutt and we love them all! We went to get a kitten 2 months ago which would have given us 3 pets, but we ended up with three inseparable siblings. I've personally only trained one puppy but I have a husband at my side that's trained many (many)-a-dog; so I have his experience up my sleeve for training. I'll keep your baby/babies happy until you come home if they require walking, playing, or staying overnight with them. I'm home full-time and we do have a large fenced back yard so staying here IS an option, but if you would like for your baby to stay with us during the day, we'd have to make sure our K-9 kids like each other first. I'm happy and friendly and you should pick me to care for your pup (and, or course, any other animals)!
“Loren was an amazing pet sitter. She was incredibly communicative, loving, and caring with my dogs. Always punctual, attentive, and truly impossible to improve on. She was consistently willing to help, very service-oriented, and made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again with my pets.”
“My dogs were very happy and healthy when we arrived home. They definitely enjoyed having Annalise stop by to see them and walk them. She did very well with pics and notes from each visit. Definitely would book again!! And 100% recommend.”
About: I have always grown up around cats and have taken care of them for family and friends when they have been on vacations. I am familiar with indoor or out door pets, cleaning of the litter boxes, and how much food to feed them. I can also administer medication if needed.
“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.”
“Grace was great!! She came by as scheduled and communicated with us daily with pictures and messages! I think by the end of the week she had a couple of new kitty BFFs! We will definitely use her again!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Coats
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.

“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 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: Hi there, my name is Dom. I’m 28 years old and live in Phoenix with my girlfriend, Courtney. We have a house together & a big backyard with four fur babies of our own (two Great Danes, Australian Kelpie, & a lab chihuahua mix.) COVID allowed me to work from home permanently, giving me the wonderful opportunity to be with my pups from sun up to sundown. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians since I was 4 years old, and that will never change! My belief is that every animal from the adorable Labrador puppy, to the venomous rattlesnake, deserve respect, trust, and most of all love. My mission statement is to ensure pet-owners who love and care for their fur baby like a child, can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing they are with someone who shares that passion of love and care for your animal, and all animals alike. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby/babies!
About: I've taken care of mainly small dogs since I was 8 years old. I'm 65 now and always mainly had dogs and a few cats. I am Retired , so it's easy for me to care for them. I have a 6ft privacy fence and a pool they can enjoy in the summer time. I will teach them how to get out if in case they accidently fall in. I have a game room they can watch TV, play outside in the backyard or in the pool. I will be caring for your pet inside or outside. I can walk the dogs in the neighborhood or at nearest parks.
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.
About: Growing up we had dogs and lived them all. Got on my own I had a total of 3 dogs and thought I would not have a cat but did and would not have traded her for nothing. Did pet sitting for an older small dog and all went well. Have raised 2 dogs from puppies and one was easy and the other not. I just love animals large or small and right now I'm without any animals. So to be able to take care of and play with dogs of different sizes would be awesome. Dogs and cats are so unique and they make my day and make me smile. Currently I'm retired and take my walks around the pond and feed the ducks as well Currently have some activities at church on Monday morning. Otherwise a doctor's appointment. My time is pretty flexible except for Sunday for church, My animals are always treated like family. They are not meant to be tied up outside either. I feed them well and of course some treats. My philosophy is they can sleep anywhere they want, including my bed. There should be a bed for the dog or cat in more.than one room. Do my best to keep them safe from hazards just like a child.
“From the first impression onwards I felt like my Motita was in good hands. Ashley was very Friendly, I can see that they love animals and aren’t just people looking for an extra income. I would definitely leave my baby with them the next time. Thanks.”
“Cassidy had been doing doggy day care with our 11 month old puppy a couple times a week and is fantastic. Our dog loves her dog and gets excited whenever she sees where she is going for the day, and comes home tired out.”
“Lisa took in our last minute request for Beau. Beau loved the meet and greet later that day. Then needed an extra hour in pick up and Lisa obliged. Amazing sitter than you so much”
About: I have diverse experience in different professional and educational roles that provided me with opportunities to service customers, athletes, and furry friends with the most positive experiences possible. From birth, I have lived with dogs and have never gone a day without having one by my side. I have over 15 years experience of dog training, dog sitting, house sitting, and other activities to supplement these disciplines. My strength is centered on my ability to communicate and educate appropriately with dogs and humans alike. I believe dogs are such a blessing to each human's life and we must exercise and provide them with their most primal needs so we can live in harmony! I am a friendly outgoing worker with a knack for making people feel comfortable and have an experience that goes above and beyond their expectations. I have no doubt you will find that I am an excellent candidate for your needs. It would be a dream to be able to put these qualities to work with you and your furry friend.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Recently I have began dog sitting for my neighbor and love it! Animals are my love language and I love taking care of them! I am home, all day every day, with a very flexible schedule to meet the needs of most anyone's schedule. I can work around anyone's schedule to meet their needs. In my home we have a large yard and your animals will be well cared for. My home is 100% pet friendly and ready to care for your pets.
About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊
“Jessie and her husband were super nice and very accommodating. Both of my dogs are high energy breeds so I know they can be a lot for people, but Jessie took great care of them. They were nice and tired when they got home, which helped me out a lot. I greatly appreciate how responsive she is, which made scheduling a breeze. Jin can be picky with people but he warmed right up to the two of them. She did great with my dogs and made my day a lot easier--I'll definitely be scheduling with her again when I need an extra long break. 11/10 would recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I want to say 10 years old. Friends and family or even neighbors dogs. They have all trusted me to have there dogs in my hands for feeding and walking them or even giving them baths. I would do anything for a dog or any animals. I have always had a passion for animals and I don't care if I'm in a rush to go somewhere if I see a animal on the side of the road I always stop and try to see if they have a collar to contact there owners. There was this one time there was this pretty white dog in the field behind my house and looked like she has been out for a few days. I sat down some water and food for her then I tied tp get her to trust me. It took about 3 hours of sitting there o get her to trust me but she finally did. I got her inside and look to make sure nothing was wrong with her made post everywhere to see if anyone knew who's dog it was but I didn't seem like anyone did. Thankfully my neighbor took her in cause I couldn't at the time. I love animals and will do everything in my power to make them happy and love on them. I always have time to play outside with your dog. I have a dog myself and always take her out to play fetch even though she don't know how to bring it back. I provide all services and boarding. I can do boring anytime and anyway and can promise you that your dog will always be cared for. I have a fenced in backyard that is getting expanded really soon. If your dog crate trained and you put them up at night I can do that too. I love walking so typically I bring my dog with me to walk and always have a water on hand for her.

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: I have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.

About: My name is Brittany. I am 24 years old and have been taking care of dogs and animals since I can remember. Growing up I always had a dog ranging from little chihuahuas to big pit bulls. I was always the one to bathe, feed, walk, and train my fur babies. I have a couple years in the veterinary medicine field as well. I have administered oral and injectable medications for cats and dogs. I currently work Monday through Thursday 8am-5pm and Friday 8am-1pm. I am completely free on the weekends to house sit, drop in and check in, and walk your precious fur babies though. Currently at this time I can not offer any in home boarding. I will be more than glad to come over and walk, feed, and care for your fur babies.
About: I make sure your babies are well taken care of & make sure they get a lot of love & cuddles & a lot of treats. I work full time. I’m available on Tuesdays one week & I’m available on Thursdays another week & I’m off every other weekend but I’m available after 3pm on the other days. I have two animals of my own, 1 is a very spoiled cat & I have 1 big baby aka a dog that’s she thinks she’s a lap dog. I would treat others animals like I would treat mine & their going to be spoiled when I take care of other people pets.

About: I am a mother of two grown children. I have had rabbits and dogs as pets since I was a child. For the past 7 years my husband and I have rescued 8 cats and 4 bunnies. At this point we live in “their house.” I work remotely and have lots of love and care to offer. I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility. I am physically very active for an animal that needs lots of movement. I can essentially set my own schedule. I have a fenced yard and 1-2 bedrooms that can be utilized exclusively for a visiting pet. Local park within walking distance. Meticulous in housekeeping and prioritizing needs of animals.
About: I have been raised around all kinds of animals my entire life. Especially growing up with a mother who is a Vet Tech, I have seen the many different ways to care for an animal. Whether they’re young and energetic, shy and anxious, or an older pet who needs extra patience, I will adapt to each one of their needs. Since I am primarily an elementary school teacher, I highly value communication. If you book with me, please expect to get regular updates and pictures of your fur babies while you’re away. I will make sure to treat each one of your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so my summers are always very open. With that being said, throughout the week I am very open and on the weekends I will still be available but just not as much. I will always ensure an easy and calming first introduction to your pets so we can start off on a good foot. And in reality, that doesn’t always happen, so I will always remain patient with those who need it because eventually they will warm up to me.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs. I am confident in reading canine body language and staying attentive to my surroundings to ensure every pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including blind dogs and dogs with food aggression. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and closely following each pet's individual routine and requirements. As the owner of German Shorthaired Pointers, I am very familiar with high-energy breeds and enjoy providing plenty of exercise through walks, runs, playtime, and enrichment activities. I am comfortable keeping active dogs mentally and physically engaged. I also have experience administering oral medications and caring for pets recovering from surgery. Through caring for my own dogs after surgical procedures, I have become familiar with managing bandages, monitoring wounds, using cones, and following recovery instructions to help pets heal safely. I work full-time in Fuquay-Varina with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate many pet care needs throughout the week. For drop-in visits and walks, I am typically available before work, during breaks (for pets located near my office), and in the evenings after work. My days often start early and end later in the evening, giving me additional flexibility compared to a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. On weekends, my availability is much more open, allowing me to spend extended time with your pets rather than just brief visits. I always do my best to work with each pet owner's schedule and ensure their pets receive reliable, attentive care. I am happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I offer drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and companionship while you're away. At this time, I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home. I find that many pets are most comfortable in their own space, and I enjoy providing care where they feel safe and secure. My goal is to ensure your pets receive dependable, loving care and that you have peace of mind while you're away.
About: A caring teacher turned pet sitter, bringing classroom patience and heart to every paw, purr, and tail wag this summer. Years of experience from fostering to bottle feeding. I’m a teacher home for the summer with complete availability! More than happy to go for long walks, play ball, or just give pets and snuggles. I have a fenced in yard with a dog and two indoor/outdoor cats of my own. We also have chickens in a fenced off separate part of our yard. With over an acre of space for your fur baby to run and play, they will be in great hands. We love taking long walks, playing fetch and giving belly rubs. My 4 kids will shower your baby with hugs and kisses.

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.
