Thank you again Alison, we will def be seeing you again soon! :)”
“Our experience with Ashley&family taking care of Bruno, was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the moment Bruno arrived, we felt completely at ease. She was truly amazing with him, treating him like her own. He was clearly given tons of love, attention, and exercise during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and full of great energy, which is the best sign a dog owner can ask for! Finally, we have to emphasize her extreme flexibility regarding our check-out time. Our travel plans had an unexpected delay, and Ashley was incredibly accommodating and understanding, making a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for her willingness to work with our schedule. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for Bruno again!”
“My dog’s other family, haha. He absolutely adores them, and is well taken care of. Stephanie sent photos and perfect messages every day to put me at ease while I was away from him. I couldn't ask for a more perfect setup as a very energetic puppy who needs a lot of attention and play time.”
“I am very happy with the care Carol has provided to Maya. She is very kind and attentive to Maya and her needs. She has a beautiful yard where Maya feels very calm and at ease.”
“Kaitlyn kept us up to date on our dogs through the visit bringing us peace of mind. We’re very happy with our experience and would be happy to use her again for our future boarding needs.”
“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.”
“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”
“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!!”
“Samira and her family were wonderful with our little guy!! She sent photos and videos throughout and it made me feel even better that he’s being taken care of!! We plan to use her service again in the future!!”
“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.”
“Kelley was a great babysitter for Darcy. She kept us updated with photos throughout the weekend! Darcy who is a year and a half had the best time with her boys. I would definitely recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a sitter and I will be using her again!”
“My Rufy was so happy to stay with Amber and her happy family while I went out of town for a few days. And all the pictures for my Rufy are so sweet&nice. Will definitely let Rufy stay with this happy family again when I am out of town.”
“Erica took amazing care of our pup for six nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. 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!”
“Tania was awesome!! Kept us updated of how our dog was doing and provided lots a pictures. She treated ours like one of their own. Will continue to use her in the future”
“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!”

“Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough wonderful things about my dog sitter! She went above and beyond in every possible way while I was out of the country. Since our original walk-through, my entire setup had changed, and I completely forgot to update her on several important details—including the special food that one of my dogs requires. Not only did she handle everything with grace and professionalism, but she also took the initiative to find the best solution for my dogs. She even went out of her way to purchase high-quality meat to mix with their food to make sure they were well taken care of. That level of care and attention meant the world to me. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire stay, giving me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. Because of her, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were in the best hands possible. I will absolutely be booking with her again, and I already plan to use her services in the next couple of months. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares for your pets as if they were her own, don’t hesitate to book her. My only warning? Don’t book her on the same days I need her—she’s that good! 😊 Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my fur babies. You are truly the best!”
“Caitlyn has been watching my cat for a while now, and she’s absolutely my go-to pet sitter—hands down the best! She always replies to texts promptly, provides regular updates, and follows instructions perfectly. Her work ethic is outstanding, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for with Caitlyn!”

I’ll definitely be contacting Audrey again if I need to!”
About: I have had kids ever since I was young. I love them and all their different personalities. My cat sleeps with me every night and is very talkative and I do t know what I would do without her! I couldn’t choose between cats and dogs.
“Highly recommend Maria! She's fantastic, and our animals love her. This is the second time we've hired her to care for our pets. This most recent booking was for about a week. She has taken care of them perfectly, and I think our cats might have even been disappointed when my husband and I returned because they adore Maria so much haha.”
“Vanessa took such great care of my two cats!! I really appreciated getting to meet her before leaving my girls in her care. Vanessa had great communication and took many photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Vanessa and plan to contact her again for future pet sitting! Thank you!!”

“Carolyn did a wonderful job checking in on my dog while I was away. She made sure she had food and fresh water, let her out, spent time with her, and sent updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It was reassuring to know my dog was being cared for and getting some extra attention while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly use her services 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.

“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”
“Emily was wonderful with Benny! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy while he was there. She gave me regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She was very thoughtful, and easy to work with from start to finish. Benny gets super excited every time we arrive to drop him there. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“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!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with anyone other than family that is around him oftern! He had a great time! Maria was great at communicating and made sure i was updated regularly! I had a little separation anxiety but the open communication was definitely helpful and helped ease my anxiety. I would recommend Maria, she cared for my fur baby like one of her own. He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”
“Meyling was great. We dropped our young doodle off for a play date. At first our pup was shaking. Within 10 minutes of dropping him off we had pictures of him doing amazing and playing with their pup. Will definitely reach out to Meyling for future sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young. I’ve had many pets of my own growing up. I have experience watching my neighbors and families dogs over the years, drop in visits, house sitting etc. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant and I am going to school to become a Veterinary Technician. Working as a Veterinary Assistant i’ve come in contact with Cats/Dogs of all temperaments and sizes and I am confident in my abilities to care for any animal that comes my way. I am currently working as a Veterinary Assistant. I am off Thursday and on the weekends so that would be the time I am most available to look after your fur babies.

About: Hi there!! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I’ve always loved being around dogs and pets of all kinds, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable in their routine. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have grown up with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. Animals have always held a special place in my life, and I understand that our animals are a true member of the family and should be treated as such. I have rescued two dogs of my own; we have learned to roll over, lay down, and spin around. With my years of experience and interaction with animals, I can guarantee that your pet will be in the best care. I currently work on an “as needed” basis so I have a very open day-to-day schedule, leaving me with the availability to spend any amount of time with the sweet dogs/cats in my care. I typically spend the weekends at home with a good book, hiking or playing disc golf in my free time, all of which include my dogs by my side. My dogs are obsessed with the water, so we are often found fishing or swimming at the river or lake when the weather is ideal. I will be caring for my dogs or others animals some of the time so if house-sitting, I might have to come and go here and there but your animals will always be top priority during that time. I will communicate with you before booking what my schedule will look like. I take my pups to the local parks or hiking trails at least a few times a week for new smells and extra activity. I am willing/able to take your dogs to new places if you would like, depending on how well they do in the car. I always dedicate at least 1-2 hours a day to my dog’s physical activity, so your pups will definitely have the opportunity to exercise and release all that energy, followed by an evening of many cuddles and sleeping in the bed.

“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and spent four years working as a Veterinary Assistant in Wilmington and Chapel Hill. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, safety, and lots of love. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and deeply loved while you’re away. I currently work from home running a small business. I do not work every day. I am flexible and available to help you out when needed. I have a Labrador Retriever and two senior, friendly domestic shorthair cats of my own. While you’re away, I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I like to keep a log for you on how they did and how things went for our time together. We have a nice sized home to accommodate your furry friend. Pets are allowed upstairs. We are happy to have your baby sleep on his or her bed in our room at night, or a crate if that’s what they are used to. Please supply your pet’s favorite bed or crate. Pets are allowed on the couch. We have a large, fenced back yard for those pups that like to sunbathe or sniff around during the day! I focus on calm, gentle care, plenty of affection (when welcomed), and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly so you have peace of mind. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens and special needs pets through vet time experience and personal experience.

“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.”

She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. 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!”

“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Caitlin! She was absolutely incredible—by far the best sitter we’ve had for Sully. She kept us constantly updated with pictures and messages, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our own vacation knowing he was in such good hands. From the looks of it, Sully had his own vacation filled with fun, cuddles, and adventures. We’ll definitely be booking with Caitlin again—she’s a true gem!”
“Tracey is awesome! She was able to be flexible with my complicated pick up/drop off and took such great care of my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates of all the fun things they did and my dog came back so tired and happy. Tracey is the best and will take great care of your pup!!”

“David and Stephanie were amazing with Luke! I received constant updates and pics. They took special care and made sure he was comfortable. I highly recommend them!”
“Tiffany has been a great host for our 60 pound lab/hound pup. Shes super responsive and accommodating. Ziggy always comes home exhausted, which is the best! I appreciate her regular updates and photos while we are away. We will definitely reach out again when we are in need of a sitter.”
