“Excellent sitter! Our anxious fur baby had a wonderful time and did very well on her first visit. Amy had a great plan for her and took care of her ensuring she acclimated to her new environment. Excellent care and communication. Would definitely use their services again without hesitation.”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“My dog loved it here for a long weekend! She’s usually very shy and timid but Vanessa took time to make sure she was comfortable. Roo takes medication every 12 hours and I did not have to worry when I was on my trip. Vanessa took amazing care of my dog and I highly recommend!”
“Alice was great with Dickens and sent me numerous photos and daily updates about Dickens while I was away. I would recommend her heartily to anyone who needs multi-day dog care.”
“Lauren was a phenomenal sitter through and through! She was very quick to respond to any messages and quite punctual with pick up and drop off. During my dog Ruca's stay she had a seizure and Lauren took great care of her and made sure she was clean and comfortable. 11 out of 10, will be booking with Lauren for the foreseeable future!”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”
“As always, we love having our dog stay there! She clearly has a blast every time, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s safe and well cared for.”
“Isabel was great to work with. She came in so clutch, after our original sitter got sick, and we needed to scramble to find someone in a day. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened - as Isabel did a wonderful job. She was fast to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet right away. She lives in a rural area, and has a fenced in backyard - which is ideal for dogs like Brady to roam free and have fun. She was also great about sending pictures and updates - without me having to ask, which I really appreciated. Brady seemed to have a wonderful time, and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”
“Ashley and the entire family took such great care of our fur baby. We had absolutely no worries. We received pictures and updates every day. I looked forward to receiving the latest update on our little princess at least two times a day. We are so glad we found such a loving family that truly cares for your pet as if they are theirs. We will definitely book with them again! Thanks again to the entire family from all of us💕!!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”
“Our Sammy is a puppy and can be a handful, and Sarah handled him with TLC and gave him the best care! She updated me with pics and videos, and he had so much fun! Sammy is going back in July for another stay. I am 100% satisfied with the love and care they gave my baby! Thank you Sarah!!”

About: I have taken care of probably more cats that I have dogs at this point. From young to very old. To a pretty good range of breeds, am very open to cats and have been working with them for close to 5 years now.
About: I've been caring for cats since I was 10 years old. My pet sitting journey actually began with my neighbor's cat, who took an instant liking to me and became my very first client. These days, I share my home with two chaos gremlins of my own, and cats remain one of my greatest passions in life.
“Danielle and Sebastian did a great job with my cat, he was very happy and calm when I got home which is a great sign! The house was so clean and they took care of the dishes and bedding which was so appreciated.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would so excited to meet your furry family members! I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was ten years old and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I am also a proud dog and cat mom, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them while you are away. During my undergraduate years at Tulane University, I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Orleans, where I helped walk and care for shelter dogs. I also had the opportunity to work with service animals through my university, which gave me additional experience understanding the importance of patience, consistency, responsibility, and following each animal’s individual needs and routines. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and compassionate, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of school. Whether your dog needs a good walk and some zoomies, your cat wants some attention (or prefers to pretend I don’t exist!), or your pet simply needs someone to stop by and keep them company, I’m happy to help! 🐾 What I can help with: - Dog walking & exercise -Cat & dog check-ins - Feeding & fresh water -Playtime & cuddles - Cleaning up after pets - Medication assistance when needed 📸 Photos & updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend!
About: Although I do not have any cats of my own just yet, I have almost ten years of experience caring for the cats of my family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of kittens, adult, and senior cats alike. I am also good at handling any specific food or care requests!
“Lily is like a longtime friend staying over. We instantly felt at ease that our cat Guru and the house were in very capable hands. Communication was spot-on, just enough to let us know that all was well at home and that kitty was happy. We got home to find a very contented cat who had clearly had a ball of a time with Lily. She clearly knows how to communicate with cats and speak their language.”
“Kelly took excellent care of mybtwobpets while I was out of town for a week. He was a great communicator and sent pictures of the cats when he visited. I'd definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needs pet care.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Eli Whitney
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“This was a last minute book and we couldn’t be more pleased. Sarah was great communicating with me since my schedule changed after booking and Cotde was so well taken care of. We will definitely use them again.”
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”
“Zydae was great with my puppy. She agreed to watch her on short notice and provided pics and videos throughout the day of my girl. I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“Cici loved going to Kelly's! She was wagging her tail and (annoyingly) jumping all over the place for daycare a few days after the meet and greet. She got to play with another dog about her size. Cici was ASLEEP a couple hours after I brought her home. She hardly ever settles on her own! I will definitely be bringing Cici back to Kelly's!”
“Cynthia is awesome!! I have a 6.5 month old lab with a high energy level. Cynthia’s home is extremely inviting for all dogs and all different temperaments. Her two yellow labs are extremely sweet and my dog loves to play with them. This was my first time using Rover given my pup is so young. Cynthia took the time to talk to me about how she handles the dog in a positive manner, never violent. She made she to give me updates during the day and sent lots of cute photos. 10/10 recommend and have already booked more days with her.”
About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job. I love dogs, cats and any other animals as well. Being surrounded by furry friends genuinely makes me happier and I would love to provide my services to help other furry parents out. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently don't have any obligations as I am a free to walk any furry friend throughout any times of the day. Please reach out! As of now, I cannot make any accommodations for pet in-home boarding. I currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets but I am willing do client in-home pet sitting and pet walks.
About: I’m a registered nurse and lifelong dog owner who loves caring for pets in my free time 🐾❤️. With years of experience in drop-ins, walks, and giving medications, I’m confident your furry friend will be in safe, loving hands. I work three days a week as an RN, and the rest of my time is spent relaxing with animals, painting, drawing, and photographing nature 📸 My clients describe me as trustworthy, respectful, and detail-oriented. I follow your pet’s routine exactly and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.
“Gregg was fantastic! Drop off and pick up were easy, I got pics of her, and now she’s sleeping for our long drive home which is exactly what we needed. Next time we are in chapel hiss we will for sure use their services! Thank you again!”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone who wasn't us, and we were very nervous. Heather did a great job helping our puppy feel comfortable and helping me feel comfortable by sending me videos. Highly recommend Heather.”
“Our puppy had a fantastic time at Debbie’s—happy and tired after a fun day! Debbie communicated well, was easy to work with, and took excellent care of our dog. We recommend Debbie strongly and will be having our pup stay there again.”
About: Hey there, My name is hannah but most people just call me Harlie. Im a full time stay at home dog mom and trainer. I love dedicating my time to pampering your dogs. Ive been a dog trainer and service dog handler for 10 years and grew up Raising and training hunting dogs. My goal is to treat your pets as i would my own. (who are spoiled rotten but dont tell them that) I specialize in dogs with seperation anxiety and behavorial issues. Im available thru the week and the weekends. Your pet will have a ball staying with me. I will make sure your pet has the most fun and comes back to you tired, happy and well mannered. Drop offs and pickups 7 days a week. If im gone I have 24/7 camera monitoring in my kennel area so I can always see and hear what's going on. When im home outdoor games and interactive puzzles and treats will fill your pups mental and physical needs. I have a beautiful fenced in back yard, grooming facilities, training room, and more. Your pet will get everything they need and want while here. Everything is tailored to each individual dog based on their needs. While I do provide kennels if your pet is nervous or never boarded before id highly suggest bringing their own Kennels. Any damage done to my kennels will encur a fee and no repeat bookings unless the dog comes with anxiety medications upon next booking and you'll be required to provide your own kennels after that.
“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”
About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!
“Adrian is THE BEST!!! Romy has been going for daycare at Adrian’s for the past few months. Every time we pull in she knows who she is going to see and is ecstatic!! He is so good to Romy. He sends us constant photos and videos, which makes me so happy! She gets to go on walks and play alllll day. As a nurse, I have some long hours and finding someone to watch your pup while you're gone all day long is almost impossible. He works with me around the times I need to he gone and I wouldn't trust anyone more! Thank you Adrian!! You're the very best!!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
About: I love dogs! I've had medium to large breed dogs throughout my life and would like to start walking dogs as a side gig. Walking dogs within neighborhoods or trails would be my specialty. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take excellent care of your pet. I am very competent and will take excellent care of your furry friend. I will communicate with you as you would like- photos, just a touch base text whatever you prefer! I currently have plenty of time during the day to walk and play with pups! Morning, lunch breaks or afternoons are best options for me. Leashed walks in neighborhoods or trails. Can walk multiple dogs if needed at the same time. Short car rides to dog parks would be possible.
“Lauren has been walking my two pups several times a week for the last few months. She’s flexible and communicative about scheduling. After a walk, she always provides a great detailed update that confirms just how observant and caring she is about each of the pups’ quirks and needs. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to know their furry family members are in great hands, for visit, a walk or a trip!”
“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.”
“I needed someone last minute to walk my German Shepard and Lindsay was the first to respond. She sent me pics of the walk and also let me know what business he did so I was prepared when I got home from work. I've had other instances where I've had to book last minute, but Lindsay is my girl for pur household whenever we need services, hands down! Thanks, Lindsay, for all that you did for our baby! ❤️”

“Alessandra is a GEM! She is kind and gentle and knows how to make our anxious little dog feel safe. She is very conscientious and made sure she understood the details of Lou's routine (including his medication), which put me completely at ease. Alessandra gives our dog the same loving care that we do, and I'm so glad to have found her!”

About: Hi! My name is Diane and I love all animals .I have worked in the pet industry full time in the last 10 years in kennels , grooming boarding, daycare and training facilities . I have also been pet sitting over 25 years ,friends and family have entrusted their precious pets in my care because they trusted my abilities and knew that I would treat their pets as I would my own. Spending my days with animals is the ultimate job. Kinda hard to even call it a “job.” Who can resist waggs and purrs, wet kisses and lap naps? Certainly not me. Pet sitting and dog walking is my profession, my livelihood and my business. I look forward to caring for your pets and keeping you updated as to how they are doing in my care. I'm a full time pet sitter so I'm available most days for house sitting , drop in visits and dog walks during the week and on weekdays. I do my best to stick to your pets schedule . I will always communicate any issues beforehand or as soon as they come up . I will always treat the animals and the properties with respect and try to leave the homes looking the way they were when I got there !

“Excellent sitter! Our anxious fur baby had a wonderful time and did very well on her first visit. Amy had a great plan for her and took care of her ensuring she acclimated to her new environment. Excellent care and communication. Would definitely use their services again without hesitation.”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“My dog loved it here for a long weekend! She’s usually very shy and timid but Vanessa took time to make sure she was comfortable. Roo takes medication every 12 hours and I did not have to worry when I was on my trip. Vanessa took amazing care of my dog and I highly recommend!”
“Lauren was a phenomenal sitter through and through! She was very quick to respond to any messages and quite punctual with pick up and drop off. During my dog Ruca's stay she had a seizure and Lauren took great care of her and made sure she was clean and comfortable. 11 out of 10, will be booking with Lauren for the foreseeable future!”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“As always, we love having our dog stay there! She clearly has a blast every time, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s safe and well cared for.”
“Isabel was great to work with. She came in so clutch, after our original sitter got sick, and we needed to scramble to find someone in a day. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened - as Isabel did a wonderful job. She was fast to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet right away. She lives in a rural area, and has a fenced in backyard - which is ideal for dogs like Brady to roam free and have fun. She was also great about sending pictures and updates - without me having to ask, which I really appreciated. Brady seemed to have a wonderful time, and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”
“This is the third time Marilyn has taken Gronk. She always does such a good job with our boy. He has a good time every time. He gets plenty of attention and has lots of play time with other dogs. Marilyn is a very trusting dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
