I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.
“Megan took care of my goldendoodle Pinki , You can really see her love for animals. She is so charismatic and attentive. You would be silly not to hire her to care for your animals. She is a package deal!! 10/10 Would reccomend!”
“Madison took such great care of Indy. They went to the park and took several rides in the car!! Madison sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. Indy had such a fun time with Madison and her pup Benji!!”
“Excellent care for my pup! Keno is a 50 pound untrained puppy that loves to jump, snuggle, and be in your personal space which means he can be a lot, but Naomi welcomed him and treated him like family. I would highly recommend her and will certainly ask her to dog sit again! 😊”
“We are very happy with Rebecca’s care for Buckeye! It was great to get photos and videos of him enjoying his time with her family (and behaving himself!!). We have already recommended Rebecca to family and friends, and we will certainly contact her again when we need a dog sitter!”
“I booked Morgan for a 4-day boarding of my sweet Lily (pitbull/hound mix). Morgan is very sweet and was great at communicating and updating me with photos of Lily and her activities and moods throughout her stay. Morgan has a well-kept area and large backyard for hosting pets. I highly recommend Morgan. It should be noted Morgan has pets of her own and they are all sweet, loving and well tempered which gave Lily companionship during her.”
“I was worried cause Haushi is a nervous mess usually, but she was right at home with this family! I was away for almost 6 days and it was so reassuring because Lannette sent photos of Haushi every day, sometimes twice a day! Haushi was very well cared for and was much loved by Lannette, her husband, their little girls, and their two pups! Thank you so much Lannette and family for making Haushi a part of your home!!!”
“We will definitely book with Melissa again! She was great! She accommodated a same day booking for me due to another sitter canceling. She gave me updates throughout my pups stay! I will always recommend Melissa!”
“Ms Jennifer and her family are AWESOME! I am very pleased with the great weekend Drake had with them. He looked like he was having a great time in the pictures and video she sent during his stay. I will definitely be booking with her for any other time I will need to be away.”

About: Hi guys! My name is Nicolle Bravo and I look forward to caring for your precious fur babies! I’ve spent my entire life around all kinds of animals, caring for them, administering medication such as insulin and shots, and even just providing some much needed love and affection. I’ve had experience with cats, dogs, pigs, bunnies, ferrets, birds, snakes, and lizards. No task is too much when it comes to our bundles of joy, so please feel free to contact me if you have any special requests as I know from personal experience how much stress can arise from trying to find someone who you can trust to take care of your babies beyond just dropping in to provide basic necessities. I hope to meet you and your lovely ball of fur soon! I currently work full time as a caregiver with a man with autism therefore I am only available before 10 or after 6 Tuesday through Friday! Mondays is before 10 and after 5! My weekend schedule varies . In home I care for pets just as if they were my own! I do stick to their feeding schedules / medication schedules to prevent any extra anxiety. They will definitely have plenty of play time as our pets are extremely friendly and love to have fun. We also have a fenced in yard in case you’re sweet pea is a little more on the adventurous side!
“Makena was great taking care of our 2.5yrs old male cat Compass. Makena provided great communication throughout the process and pictures once a day. Definitely recommend and will work with Makeba again in the future.”
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!
About: I have had dogs of my own over the past 10 years, and have looked after several family and friend's dogs and cats many times. They have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit for their fur babies. I'm reliable and trustworthy. I have a very flexible schedule and can pop in for a quick visit or walk, or I can stay in your home for a longer term. Pets generally need a good amount of attention. I can bring calm comfort to an anxious or tired pet or go on a rigorous walk with a more rambunctious pet.
“April did an amazing job with our two cats! They immediately opened up to her and let their personalities shine. She did a great job caring for the boys which included the last minute addition of eye medication which she handled with ease. We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!”
About: I’m a mom of one boy, and one boy cat (neutered). I love all fur babies like they were my human babies. I dog sat for 6 Dalmatians at once, for 2 years, and it was a great experience! Trust me to take care of your babies, and you’ll become like family too. Willing to bathe and brush, minimal nail clipping if desired (extra services not included in base pricing). Also available for walks if needed. My son is well aware of the proper way to care for and handle animals, he may just love them too much! Let’s chat and discuss how I can help you feel comfortable with leaving your precious pets in my care. Ready to meet your littles and have a blast with them!! I am going back to college to finish my BS, Business Management, and looking to support my family financially through spending time with pets-which can easily be done as a remote student. I have experience in working with senior dogs, administering medications, and going above and beyond to look after special needs. I have stayed in homes over night on extended stays
“Wow!!! Mafe is wonderful. She put me at ease about leaving Freddie with a stranger. This was a last minute booking as my regular sitter was unavailable. I’m so happy Mafe was free. Freddie was skittish at first but within hours he was relaxed and back to being himself. Mafe sent plenty of pictures and videos. I would hire her again. She is highly recommended by Freddie and me.”
“I think my cats like Auntie Beth more than they like me 😂 she brought them fun toys, a crate to play hide and seek in, and a big ball of yarn. She fed the birds outside the window so they would have something to look at. She assimilated so well with them while I was gone, keeping to their routines and patterns. She left the house in a better condition than I did. The communication while I was away was perfect. I never had time to wonder or worry. She even kept my plants alive for me! Thank you Beth!”
“Laura is amazing! She is great at communicating when plans change. My cat adores her, she was looking for her this morning. Laura is kind and I trust taking care my cat”
“Morgan was fantastic! We decided to try Rover for the first time after moving and were hesitant. Morgan stopped by before we left town to meet the animals and they loved her. We felt like we were leaving our dog and cat in good hands. She was prompt for the scheduled check in times and went above and beyond. Next time we go out of town we will definitely use Morgan again!”
“We had such a great experience! 😊 She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, making sure their dry food stayed filled, giving them fresh water daily, and even keeping up with their wet food routine. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Everything was clean, organized, and our cats seemed happy and relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!). Communication was great too, we really appreciated the updates. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again! 🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. From large breeds like husky to small dogs like Pekingese, each one has been a part of the family. I love spending time with my own dogs (2 female pits) and love making new friends. I do have a full time job but I’m also available to provide care for your pet during the week, at nights, and on the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and both of my pets are dog friendly. I also have a crate for puppies in potty training. My dogs are walked daily and bathed often.
About: I always grew up with cats, from taking in strays to caring for newborn kittens. I’m a pro at litter box cleanings, play time, and cuddles. I won’t just feed and leave, I stay the full time to ensure your cats feel seen and loved.
About: I have been bringing home and taking in animals ever since 2010 when I was in 5th grade. I have always put a lot of time, patience, love, sweat and money into my own animals. I try to give my babies the best quality of life that I can provide and I intend to do the same while yours are in my care! I have a tremendous amount of love & respect for all animals. I also have a lot of experience with multiple different breeds because I've had numerous dogs, a cat & a leopard gecko. Some duties I can help assist with include potty training, walking, teaching training commands & any senior/special needs care. If needed I can administer oral liquid medications, as well as pills and I can change diapers too. I am a stay at home dog mommy and I run a small business as well. So I generally have a lot of time, love & space to offer at my house throughout the week for guests. I'd love to take care of your babies or walk them to help you out with your busy schedule! !!!NEW DAYCARE INQUIRIES PLEASE READ!!! :) DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF CLIENTS IVE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DAYCARE HOURS THEY ARE NOW FROM 8AM-8PM. **My base rate of $30/day ensures your baby with up to 12 hours per day in my care!

About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs and genuinely love being around them. I have trained many puppies and have a senior dog to care for myself. I will be a safe and comfortable person for your beloved family member. I am a stay at home mom who is home most of the time. We enjoy going to parks and taking walks. I have a large fenced backyard with other furry friends to play with. I have a large fenced yard with 3 friendly beagles. Your pet will be welcomed into my home like they were mine. We are also a very active family.
About: Hi, I'm dependable, stay-at-home dog lover who provides a safe, fun, and loving environment for you're pup while you're away. I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I prefer they are in a crate or in a kennel at night. I ask that you bring your own as that is what your dog is used to, it's own safe space. If they are not crate/ kennel trained, I do have a large space to roam with a fence. If the pup is a small bread I do have a play pen for your pups safety.
About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from childhood to adulthood. Today, I have two Goldendoodles of my own and a kitten and plenty of hands-on experience caring for puppies. My background gives me patience, understanding, and a genuine love for pets of all kinds. I’m currently finishing my student teaching and am looking for a side gig that lets me do something I truly enjoy, spending time with animals. Right now, I have plenty of flexibility during the evenings and on weekends, which allows me to focus on caring for pets, whether that’s walks, playtime, or boarding. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Goldendoodles who love having playmates. Your pet will be safe, supervised, and have plenty of company. If needed, I can easily crate your dog, follow specific routines, and provide a calm environment to make them feel at home.
“Aramae was great with my large Lab. My doggie daycare request was short notice, but she was able to accommodate us, giving me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for when I headed into the office.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy. So she relied on me to make sure that her pup was happy. I love animals, I have my own and I make sure they get whatever it is they need even if it’s just cuddles. I am a college student, who is home for the summer and looking to earn some extra money. I currently do not have a job. I treat all pets with genuine love, gratitude, and affection. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment as well as the right amount of exercise.
“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll provide patient and dependable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. This gives me plenty of time for feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I understand how important routines are for pets and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I had pets since I was 7. I had taken care of dogs, cats, fishes, and even a squirrel throughout my life. I even took care of my neighbors' pets while out of town. I'm not currently working but I'll like free days on Friday through Sunday. I'm available on Monday through Thrusday starting at 9am to 9pm, if not busy. I have a 3 year old male cat named Yin. I spoil him so much with treats and loving, so your pet will be treated the same. So any special requests you give me for your pet, I will do what is instructed. I have a yard, big enough to walk and play with your pet.
“Juli watched my pup for a long day trip and sent me updates throughout! She has so much experience and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. If I ever need a sitter again, Juli would be my first call.”
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was 5 (20 years). Key responsibilities included feeding, petting, walking. I have experience with golden retriever, border collie, staffy, bullmastiff, pitbull. I love medium and large breeds and small dogs are better than cats. I’m currently an online student, so I’m home all week for feeding animals. I go for a morning and afternoon walk every day and would love to help include your pet in that schedule. I don’t have any pets in the house, so I can be a private sitter, or I can have multiple dogs, which ever suits your needs! I do not have a fence in my backyard, however can be supervised or leashed for outside play/ potty breaks
About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a timid tabby, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and medicine, I have the hands-on experience to handle it all. I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. I will be available all summer full time from June- August as I am a high school teacher during the year. If needed I can also continue working part time during the school year. I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.
“Sadie hasn’t been to daycare (or boarded) for about 2 1/2 years, but Alexandria put us both at ease. Her pups are adorable and I think Sadie really enjoyed herself! We’ll be back!”
“Rachel has been such a help in taking care of our pup while my partner and I work. She and the kids are very gentle with him. Getting his Rover report card at the end of the day and seeing all the photos of him having fun and how tired he is when he gets home is a blessing. Will book again :)”
About: I currently foster two senior hospice pups with a rescue and have always had a passion for caring for pets of all ages and breeds — from birds and fish to pigs and hamsters. I truly believe pets are an important part of any family, and my love for them is not just a job, but a genuine passion. With 30 years of service at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, caring for others has always been my calling. That dedication extends to animals, too. Now retired, I’m able to devote my full time and attention to providing exceptional care for your pets. II provide personalized care based on each pet’s preferences, whether that means walks, playtime with toys, gentle affection, or quiet companionship. I make sure your pet stays engaged, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. My home is clean and pet-safe, free of harmful plants or chemicals, and equipped with cameras for added security. I always follow each owner’s rules and routines, keeping your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority.
About: My entire life has been endless pet care experience! I have lived with cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperments, and ages. Currently living with my own two dogs and a cat, I understand the need for a trustworthy care taker for my babies. I care about the wellbeing of animals so much, I plan on going to vet school! There is no animal that is too much for me! I can do drop in vists through out the day as I have a few hours scattered through the day between classes and practice. If you needed longer daily walks, I could take your pet out in the morning and leave them tired for the day! I could also provide short boarding services to a dog or cat that is friendly with other animals. My own animals have been around various other animals and are well trained so as long as your pet is friendly they would get along great! Every animal is different and require diffreent treatment. I approach all animals and enviorments with understanding and patience, allowing the animal to communicate their needs in any given senario. I can adjust to various enviorments based on the animal's temperment and the owner's preferences!
“Kentrice is such a sweet gentle sitter. She has her home prepped for hosting with a warm and welcoming setting. She respondinded quickly to my request for dog sitting and was available immediately to caregive to my 2 midsize dogs. Highly recommend Kentrice for your petcare needs.”

About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.

“Megan has been our primary dog walker for about a year and has been fantastic! Our dog loves her and she’s be incredibly flexible with our busy schedule. Couldn’t recommend more.”
About: I have hands on experience working at an animal shelter, where I regularly walked, handled, and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Through this, I’ve worked with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious ones who need extra patience and care. My experience has taught me how to read dog behavior and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits easily into not my daily routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my day to day meet to each pets needs. I do attend church on Sundays and Wednesday, but outside of those days I am highly available and committed to providing consistent and attentive care. In my home (boarding/daycare): I provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible. Dog walking: during walks, I focus on safety and exercise, making sure each dogs get the right pace and level of activity for their needs. Drop ins: when visiting a clients home, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and receive attention and playtime. I also respect the home by keeping things clean and following all instructions closely. No matter the service, I provide updates and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and live while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs of my own over the past 10 years, and have looked after several family and friend's dogs and cats many times. They have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit for their fur babies. I'm reliable and trustworthy. I have a very flexible schedule and can pop in for a quick visit or walk, or I can stay in your home for a longer term. Pets generally need a good amount of attention. I can bring calm comfort to an anxious or tired pet or go on a rigorous walk with a more rambunctious pet.
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. In my house we had two dogs, a cat, a fish, two birds, and a lizard all at once. i took care of all of them and loved it :) I’m new to the area and have a part time job. i had to leave my dog with my family back home and am really missing that bond, I am very available to pet sit or even just take them on walks. My dog always slept in her crate because it was her safe space. I love to take dogs outside and let them run around and be happy, but i am also comfortable with having them inside and following any rules you may have.
About: I had pets since I was 7. I had taken care of dogs, cats, fishes, and even a squirrel throughout my life. I even took care of my neighbors' pets while out of town. I'm not currently working but I'll like free days on Friday through Sunday. I'm available on Monday through Thrusday starting at 9am to 9pm, if not busy. I have a 3 year old male cat named Yin. I spoil him so much with treats and loving, so your pet will be treated the same. So any special requests you give me for your pet, I will do what is instructed. I have a yard, big enough to walk and play with your pet.
“Beth was amazing! Our fur baby instantly fell in love with her. She was prompt for every walk. After the second walk Bella was actually sitting by the window looking for her next visit, super cute :) She sent detailed information and pictures from each stroll. Highly recommend Beth for any petsitting needs.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving your four-legged family member personalized care, comfort, and attention—so you can feel at ease, knowing they’re in a loving home. I currently have a full-time job, but it still leaves me plenty of time to take care of and attend to your pets. In addition to boarding, I also offer walking services, house check-ups, and more. I’m available every holiday and weekend, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment to ensure both the pet and owner feel secure. Here’s how I approach each: In My Home: • Safety: My home is pet-proofed to remove any potential hazards, such as exposed wires, toxic plants, and small objects that could be swallowed. I also create separate areas for pets that need quiet spaces, ensuring they can feel safe and relaxed. • Trust: I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular walks, and offer plenty of attention, ensuring pets feel secure and loved. I also keep owners updated with photos or texts, providing peace of mind. • Environment: I offer a warm, inviting space with plenty of room for pets to play and rest. My home is clean, free of clutter, and equipped with comfortable bedding, toys, and a designated outdoor area for play. In Client’s Home: • Safety: I follow all instructions from the owner closely regarding feeding, medication, and specific care routines. I also do a safety check of the home, ensuring gates are locked, harmful substances are out of reach, and the environment is secure. • Trust: Building trust is key. I arrive on time, follow the owner’s rules, and communicate regularly with updates. This builds rapport with both the pet and the owner. • Environment: I maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. This includes adhering to familiar walk paths, playtime schedules, and sleeping arrangements in their own home, creating a smooth, stress-free experience. This balance of safety, trust, and comfort helps me ensure that each pet is well cared for, whether in my home or theirs.
About: Hey there! I’m Allie. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and my goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always recommend a meet and greet so we can get acquainted and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pets. I like to take the time to sit down, get to know both you and your pets, and answer any questions you may have. I moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 2019 when my husband’s military service brought us here. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting full time while completing my college studies. At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets. I’ve spent my life around animals and have worked professionally in nearly every area of pet care, including animal hospitals, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and in-home pet sitting. These experiences allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. Including administering medications and providing extra support for pets with medical or behavioral needs. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, goats, and horses. If I haven’t worked with a species yet, I’m always eager to learn. No two animals are alike, and I love discovering what makes each one special so I can provide care tailored to their personality and needs. I am very flexible and able to provide your pets lots of quality time. 30 Minute Drop in: This is a quick visit to check in on your pet. I’ll let them out for a potty break, refresh food and water, give any needed meds or treats, and spend time playing or cuddling. I’ll send you photos and updates along the way. Perfect for a midday break or some company while you’re away. Overnight Stay: Your pet will have company and care throughout the night. I’ll follow your evening routine with dinner, a potty break, any meds, playtime, then stay overnight for supervision and comfort. In the morning, I’ll handle breakfast, another potty break, and fresh water, while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Light home care, like checking mail or plants, can also be included. Ideal for pets who need extra comfort and prefer staying in their own home. When caring for others pets I treat them as my own. Whatever your pet needs, I'll happily accommodate them to the best of my ability. I always triple check doors are locked when I leave, and that there is nothing in reach that could be harmful to your pets. (human food, dog treats, toys etc)
