Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kennebec
“So glad we found Chantel! She kept Buster for 8 days, he first time away from us since we got him at 6 mos. old. Chantel kept us informed the whole time with texts and photos, showing us how he was doing. I think he really enjoyed his time there, and hopefully next time we need to go away, she will be available. I highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Kordula and her family! She was very flexible with our changing travel plans due to weather and sent daily photos and updates. Thank you!”
“As usual, Lisa was amazing with Molly. It is such a relief when you have to leave and know your fur baby will be well taken care off. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your pet.”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“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.”
“Thank you Kelley for taking care of Bruno. He was exhausted from all the play time he had with Brody and the family. It was great seeing pictures of him being loved by the kiddos while I was away.”
“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!”
“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
“Claudia did an excellent job! She communicated on a daily basis, which made me feel comfortable and eased my mind, since this was the first time being away from Dozer. She sent pictures and videos and took care of him as if he was her own. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”
“We were nervous about having a dog sitter for the very first time but Caitlin immediately put us at ease as our dogs immediately loved her! She sent daily photos and updates of our dogs which was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend Caitlin, she will treat your dog like family.”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“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!!”
“Kaitlyn and her family were very welcoming to Bentley . She sent pictures of Bentley while we were away, it seems he really enjoyed his vacation and backyard play. I will definitely use Kaitlyn in the future.”
“Alison was so wonderful!! She communicated quickly, sent us photos, kept us informed and Lucy came home so happy! We will absolutely use Alison again and honestly cannot recommend her highly enough! She is awesome!”
“Ashely was very sweet and with my dog. She send us pictures everyday and give up updates about how our dog is doing. My dog seemed very happy with her and her family. We will definitely go back to her again if we go travel.”
“Great attention to the details and care of our girl. We've used Stephanie twice and she does a great job with the care and with keeping us updated with messages and pictures. Will definitely be using here whenever we can.”
“I am so glad I was able to send my pups over to stay with Amber for the 4th of July weekend. My two pups seemed to have a great time. It kind of takes a day or two for my dogs to acclimate to whatever new house they are staying in for a day or two and Amber took that into consideration. Amber let them play with the hose in their backyard, which won both our my dog's hearts. I was so thrilled I was able to find them and I will definitely call them again next time I fly out of Raleigh. Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“David and Johanna took excellent care of our dog. We did a meet and greet to ensure their dog and our dog would get along and they were very attentive to his care. I appreciated the pictures that were sent and could tell he was very relaxed and had a great week!”
“Ksenia was so wonderful with Wrigley. She kept me updated over the weekend letting me know that he was adjusting just fine. She sent me pictures. Wrigley can be a little anxious at times and when I came to pick him up, he was super chill, which means I know he felt very comfortable at her house. Would recommend without hesitation.”

“Josie/Kitty is extremely shy but really seemed to be comfortable with Miya. She usually hides under the bed the entire time and anyone else is here, but she came out to say hi when Miya came over. It made me feel so much better about leaving her, knowing she was well cared for and not scared. Miya communicated with me during my trip and I felt better knowing she was there. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She’s reliable and really seems to care about all animals.I would love to have her come back next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Valari did an excellent job with my pups while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, sent pics and was professional. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Chelsea was great and bonded with my 4 cats (some skittish) right away. The feedings went well over my 4 day holiday judging from all the photos Chelsea sent me twice a day. Plus messages from her everyday which made me feel even more secure. I highly recommend Chelsea for all your pet's needs.”
“Caitlyn responded quickly to my request and was flexible with her schedule. She showed up every day at the agreed-upon time to feed and play with my cat. Caitlyn did everything we agreed to and more! and I am very happy with her help. My cat Ralph warmed up to her right away when she came for the meet and greet. I have booked her service again and will continue working with her in the future 👍🏻👍🏻”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our special girl. I’m glad she went out to the bathroom for you. It gave us a great night out and a great first experience.”
“Emma was awesome with taking care of Blue while we were away for the week. She kept his area tidy, played with him and even groomed him a couple of times. I definitely am pleased with her services and will definitely be booking her again.”
“Lauren was the perfect sitter/caretaker while we attended two destination weddings. She was available to meet in person to go over care details for our kitty and always showed up for the designated care schedule on time. She gave detailed updates every day and this helped ensure our kitty got the check-ins and new food she needed. Lauren gave us peace of mind and we knew our kitty was on the best of hands! We will definitely rebook with Lauren for future care!”
“Sydnee really came through for my partner and I in a pinch. She went above and beyond in making sure our cat got his medicine, and was extremely communicative throughout our time away. Sydnee is responsible and thoughtful and I would highly recommend booking her to watch your pets!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for around 30 years. I have both fostered and owned animals as well as watched other. I have owned my dog since she was a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs. I have helped family friends with their older dogs who need help moving around and cannot stay home alone. I have also long term fostered a special needs dog. I am an empty nester and when my children moved out they took their pets. I’ll be able to devote my time and attention to your pets as you need me to. During my previous time pet sitting I have stayed at the owner’s home as well as done 2-3 times a day check ins. When doing these I play by house rules. Crating a dog is not a problem as that is what I do with my own. I have pet sat for people who do and do not crate their animals.
“Ignacio took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures and updates to let us know how they were doing and we came back to very happy doggies. Will definitely reach out to her again if I need someone to care for the dogs while I'm out of town.”
“Kim was wonderful! We received updates each day, with pictures and a short description of how our cat was getting along without us. He even warmed up to her a bit during her time taking care of him! Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Amber was great on such short notice. Once I booked, she was met with me to go over everything the next day. All of her updates and pictures made me so happy that I could actually enjoy my vacation. Definitely using Amber in the future. 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!”
“I can’t speak highly enough! It was a real emergency and I had never used Rover before but I needed some help quick. Jennifer was at my house within 5 min and made it possible for me to focus on my mom in the hospital. I will continue to use her as long as possible! Thanks Jen!”
“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!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kennebec
“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”
“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 extensive experience caring for dogs and truly treat them like members of our family. Currently, I have a 4-year-old mini Labradoodle who thrives on a well-structured routine of walks, meals, and playtime. Before that, I had a Shih Tzu, so we’re familiar with the different temperaments and care needs of various breeds. I am comfortable administering medications, maintaining grooming schedules, and ensuring our dogs receive consistent training, attention, and affection. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of structure, patience, and genuine companionship—they’re truly our babies. Because I am home all day, your dog will always have company and care. My mini Labradoodle loves walks and companionship, so having one more pup around will just add to the fun! A cozy, pet‑first home with a playful labradoodle and a fully fenced yard, where harmful cleaners and cords are tucked away, beds mark quiet retreat spots, and a secure gate opens to a shady lawn perfect for safe zoomies and fetch.
“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”
“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.”
“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 been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience working with dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Providing safe, reliable, and attentive care is something I take seriously, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am currently a full-time student, which allows me to spend lots of time at home. Your pet will receive plenty of attention and will not be left unattended for extended periods. Our home has a fenced yard and is located in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Pets are treated like family here and are welcome throughout the home.
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.
“I booked last minute for a dog daycare with Dean for my two Great Pyrenees. He was very flexible and caring with my pups! I will definitely bring them back! Thank you Dean for taking care of Lucy and Valentino!”
About: I have had all different breeds of dogs in my life and am very familiar with all of the different personalities of dogs! My family members and friends have relied on me to watch over their fur family members. My schedule is very flexible and I have a ton of availability. When you book with me, my priority is your pet and their needs. I have a very friendly dog that can tag along for walks if your dog may need social time or a buddy! You can trust that I will care for your pet as if it were my own! :)
“Ksenia is amazing! Kind and so patient with our hound puppy. She is a life saver! I was caught off guard with our puppy transitioning from sleeping a lot to digging a lot! I needed help with his care, and Ksenia quickly responded and offered help immediately. We cannot say enough good things about her care and concern for our pup, and she even helped with much needed training tips. Wonderful! And her family is lovely as well.”
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: 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
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!! I currently work from home 4 days a week but work right in Fuquay on the 1 day I am in the office. My son is currently in preschool 5 days a week and my daughter in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus so just twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise more than able to walk between 9am and 3pm. But message me if times needed outside of that range and can definitely help out! I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I will not be offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!
“Miya is amazing! She enjoyed all our animals especially Hemingway! He loves her and pushed me out of the way to get to Miya! She helped me with some chores I’m unable to do and offered more help if I needed it! She is very pleasant and friendly! I would absolutely recommend Miya for pet walking or pet care! She is wonderful! Very kind and competent!”

“Kim helped me out at short notice, taking my high-energy dog on an hour-long walk on a hiking trail. He took to her the moment he smelled her, and had a great time with her. She asked pertinent questions before taking him out, and picked up the instructions for the e-collar straight away. I would definitely book her again.”

Whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, I'm committed to providing top-notch care and giving you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).
About: I have a wonderful 1 acre backyard that is loved and cherished by all doggies, my own dogs and visiting doggie friends! Lots of wide open spaces for fetching balls or toys! I have a very flexible pet care schedule. I am at home 7 days a week and can board your dog(s) in my home for up to 2 continuous weeks, with advance notice. My backyard is safe, with a large flat open space for all types of dogs. I also have multiple outdoor decks that overlook my backyard and allows me to keep an eye on any doggie shenanigans!
About: I have always made fast friends with other animals easily and joyfully. Pets really are the greatest gift and I only ever hope to live up to that by providing patience, fun, kindness, and thoughtful care-taking! I have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for over 20 years. I take pride in providing the best care possible, being fully present to an animal and their needs, and providing the peace of mind to you that I would want when away from my pets. With pets of my own, I know what it is like to find someone who you truly trust and feel comfortable with - I hope to be that person. I have a flexible hybrid telework schedule that allows me to be available for care-taking around your pets' schedule needs. I will have the utmost respect for your pet and instructions. As for house-sitting, my husband takes care of all our animals so that I can be fully present to stay with yours! I am open and honest and will be available for any more information you would like to know! Thanks for considering me to take care of your precious friends. My work schedule is flexible and I work from home most days. On the days I go into the office, I am not gone for extended hours. I have plenty of time and availability for morning, mid-day, and evening pet care during the week. On weekends, morning play time is always extended, as is snuggle time, and longer walks if the weather allows - but we always spend a ton of time in the backyard, unless our guest prefers naptime on the couch. I take pet care seriously, especially with other people's pets. I treat the animals with the same respect I treat my own, and how I would want someone else to take care of mine. I want the pets I care for to feel safe and happy, and barely miss their owners. That means I am very intentional about their physical as well their emotional needs. And, honestly, I get so much joy meeting new pets and hanging out with them that I want the pets to feel the same way about me. I will follow their normal schedule for feeding, walking, and anything else you ask as part of their routine. I am also very communicative while taking care of your pet(s)! I will check in with you everyday to provide at least a picture and any updates. I take a ton of photos, and love to share those! I am also always available for you to reach out anytime and respond quickly. When it comes to your home, you will not even know I was there, except your pets are happy and well-tended to :). For boarding requests, we have two very friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats, they all really do get along and we like to keep a calm and harmonious house! Our dogs will play if the our guest wants to, and our cats are very gracious hosts :). We only board one dog at a time. Please do not reach out if your dog is not (small) dog and cat friendly, thank you! (Our previous dog, RIP, is still listed here, she passed recently and I cannot bring myself to delete her profile yet...)
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. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m happy to accommodate specific needs whether that’s extra playtime, medication, or just lots of cuddles. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home so I am home all day and can step away at any moment! I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll know exactly when I’m available (which is pretty much all the time)!! I love being outside and I know most of your pets do too! My apartment is kept cool and clean so they are more than welcome inside if they like it better than out!
About: I have always had a love for animals. I worked in a kennel for 11 years. Got my first puppy at 14. I feed, medicate, walk and love all my animals. I am 100% a responsible person. I have two dogs, three cats and fish of my own. I have fostered many kittens including bottle fed them just hours old. I have some basic medical knowledge. My schedule is pretty open all summer until mid-late August. I am willing to book in advance or consider last minute needs. I am used to a schedule involving taking care of my pets daily. I follow instructions well. I am a visual person so written instructions are a must. I have lots of time and love to give to your family member(s).
About: Hello! My name is Chelsea. I have grown up with animals. I've spent many days taking my family's dog to the beach, the dog park, and for a walk around the neighborhood. I will be there on time and ready to have fun with your animal. Understandably, you want the best person for your puppy. I am a cat mom, so I understand the worry of placing your pet into the care of someone else. I can promise you, that I will treat your animal as my own. I have a lot of patience and a deep love for animals. Just know, that I will make sure your pet has the best time with me! I have plenty of availability to pet sit and walk. I have a flexible schedule. If you hire me, I will be dedicated to your pets needs. I will work the schedule that is given to me! I want you to be comfortable in knowing that it is important to me to follow directions. I give lots of attention and love! Play time is a must! I will keep the schedule you give me. The health and well being of your baby is my top priority!
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: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young till now with my two dogs, and two cats. I love to hike and walk with my dogs. They also love playing ball or chasing toys around in home. Cats are older now so they just want love and pets. I work full-time but that doesn’t stop me from having time to make sure our animals get play and care when I get home. I’m available weekends or after 5 pm for any care for your animal :) I have two dogs that are dog friendly and a crate if needed. I have a park right across the street to have long walks or play in grass or they even have a dog park.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, but about 5 years ago I officially started working in the pet care industry... and honestly, it’s been the best job ever. I absolutely love dogs of all ages, from wild little puppies with zoomies to sweet senior pups who just want cuddles and company. I truly believe pets are family (basically furry children), and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet wants nonstop playtime, a walking buddy, couch snuggles, or just someone patient and loving while you’re away, I’m happy to be their temporary fun aunt 🐾 I decided to take a break from working full-time so I could go back to school and work part-time instead. Since I’ll be doing school from home with a flexible schedule, I’m available to spend as much time as needed with your baby! I own a home with about a 0.5 acre fenced in yard. I have a personal dog in my home, she is great at keeping company. If you would prefer your pup have crate time or sleep in a crate, just let me know! Otherwise, we are big fans of puppy cuddles and allow them on our furniture!
“Sally is awesome-she really cares about your pets. I can relax knowing that she's going to give my dog plenty of attention and care. She's very communicative and professional and I can't recommend Sally enough!”

“As usual, Lisa was amazing with Molly. It is such a relief when you have to leave and know your fur baby will be well taken care off. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your pet.”
“Christopher and Christina were wonderful to watch my dog Max for a full week. I had such peace of mind and received regular updates and photos of Max during that time. Can not recommend them enough!”
“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
“We were nervous about having a dog sitter for the very first time but Caitlin immediately put us at ease as our dogs immediately loved her! She sent daily photos and updates of our dogs which was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend Caitlin, she will treat your dog like family.”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“Kaitlyn and her family were very welcoming to Bentley . She sent pictures of Bentley while we were away, it seems he really enjoyed his vacation and backyard play. I will definitely use Kaitlyn in the future.”
“Alison was so wonderful!! She communicated quickly, sent us photos, kept us informed and Lucy came home so happy! We will absolutely use Alison again and honestly cannot recommend her highly enough! She is awesome!”
“I am so glad I was able to send my pups over to stay with Amber for the 4th of July weekend. My two pups seemed to have a great time. It kind of takes a day or two for my dogs to acclimate to whatever new house they are staying in for a day or two and Amber took that into consideration. Amber let them play with the hose in their backyard, which won both our my dog's hearts. I was so thrilled I was able to find them and I will definitely call them again next time I fly out of Raleigh. Thanks so much!”
“David and Johanna took excellent care of our dog. We did a meet and greet to ensure their dog and our dog would get along and they were very attentive to his care. I appreciated the pictures that were sent and could tell he was very relaxed and had a great week!”
“Bruno had the best sleepover with Tracey! Her house is immaculate, and is is so organized with all the necessary dog supplies. Lots of dog activities and play time with appropriate naps for pups as well.”
“Tania is amazing! She sent us pictures of our dog all weekend and made us feel so comfortable. Birdie got many many many walks and playtime and she was wiped when we picked her up! Absolutely recommend Tania and we will definitely have Birdie stay with her family again!”
“Andrea was amazing! This was my first time ever using Rover and I am so pleased. I had I had to travel for work and I ended up getting a flat tire on the way home and she was understanding and amazing! I will be using her again!”
“Nicole and her family were exactly what we needed. Communication and photos were plentiful and the love I could see that was given made me not have to worry about our dog while we were away. We will absolutely use their services again!”
“Murphy really enjoyed his time with Kimberley. She sent daily pictures and updates. He came home relaxed and she was able to deal with his anxieties. Will definitely book again!”
“Kim and John were fantastic! They cared for our family’s two labs and we could not have asked for a better experience! They sent us daily updates and pictures, and we could see what a good time they were having with them and their two pups! The sweetest moment was a picture of Tucker with a special letter congratulating his mom and dad on their wedding! By far the sweetest and most thoughtful gesture! We would highly recommend Kim and John! ❤️ ?”
“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!”
“Kelly was awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog Finn with her. We had just recently moved to the area but still needed to take care of a lot of things out of town. Kelly was able to do a meet and greet with us beforehand and it went great. She has a huge fenced in yard for all the dogs to roam around in and play, and Finn fit in well with her and her dogs. During Finn's actual stay, he got comfortable in her home and made new friends with both the resident and visiting dogs. Kelly made sure to send me pictures and videos throughout his stay too, which I very much appreciated. It was obvious to me that Finn was well taken care of and that Kelly genuinely loves all the dogs in her care. She was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I will definitely bring Finn back to stay with her the next time there is a need. Thanks again Kelly! Finn will miss you, Miska, Ruby, and all the other dogs who came to play! :)”
