“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“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.”
“Kordula was amazing! She took such great care of our dog during the entire stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like family. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Kordula and will definitely book with her again!”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Oh my God. Chantel is the best. We had never been separated from our Dog since we got her in November 2023. She did a great job caring for our baby girl for 6 days while we were away. She kept us informed of how she was doing and shared videos of her the entire time we were away. She is truly an amazing and gentle pet lover. We would highly recommend her to care for your pets when needed. We would definitely give her a 5 Star rating 😉 Thanks so much Chantel and family for loving our baby girl while we were away.”
“Alison was awesome with our high energy Australian Shepherd puppy. We needed to go out of town last minute where she was able to watch our Josie. We loved the updates and pictures. I would definitely use Alison again.”
“Stephanie and her family always treat Jordi like one of their own! We never worry for a second leaving our sweet pup with their family. We feel so lucky to have found them and to have them to love on our Jordi whenever we are away!”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“I am very happy with the care Carol has provided to Maya. She is very kind and attentive to Maya and her needs. She has a beautiful yard where Maya feels very calm and at ease.”
“Ksenia and her family welcomed my pup Marley. Marley was well loved and cared for while we were away. Her pup Minnie was a perfect companion for Marley and is such a sweet little girl! Our family will definitely use Ksenia’s services again highly recommend Ksenia for your pup needs.”

“Lesley and her family took such amazing care of our dog, Banjo. Banjo was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt at home with them.

I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“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.”
“Dennis clearly loved his first stay with Joanne, he came back happy and clean. Joanne updated me every day with pictures and let me know how he was getting on. She’s a lovely lady who clearly loves dogs and I knew our boy was being well looked after and loved!”
“Amber is very down to earth and was great when she had to keep my Rocky for the weekend. She is very attentive and I didn't feel the least bit awkward leaving him with her. She put me at ease and I will be using her again.”
“Sayaka was great with our dog Max! Max had a great time playing and came home tired from his visit! Sayaka was great at communicating with us. We got daily pictures and she did a great job identifying and informing us of a potential medical issue. We are very satisfied by the care Max received and attention to detail provided by Sayaka.”
“They were absolutely amazing! I got really good consistent updates on our fur babies and they had a great time! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good environment to have their fur baby stay.”
“Stacey was fantastic! She loved on Sakari, sending pictures of her everyday. Sakari made a buddy, Stacey's toy poodle, Mackey. They played in Stacey's lovely, fenced-in backyard all day long. Sakari's happy disposition when we picked her up was so reassuring that her time with Stacey was a delight!”
“Kelly was fantastic to work with and was very responsive to my texts. She regularly updated me about our dog while we were away and gave him the attention needed so that he could feel secure while being away from us. Highly recommend Kelly and will use her again!”

“Miya was so amazing! We were able to enjoy our time away without a worry in the world. She made the process so seamless and always sent me plenty of check in videos, Nala was a happy girl! Would definitely consider her for the next time we’re away.”
“Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough wonderful things about my dog sitter! She went above and beyond in every possible way while I was out of the country. Since our original walk-through, my entire setup had changed, and I completely forgot to update her on several important details—including the special food that one of my dogs requires. Not only did she handle everything with grace and professionalism, but she also took the initiative to find the best solution for my dogs. She even went out of her way to purchase high-quality meat to mix with their food to make sure they were well taken care of. That level of care and attention meant the world to me. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire stay, giving me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. Because of her, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were in the best hands possible. I will absolutely be booking with her again, and I already plan to use her services in the next couple of months. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares for your pets as if they were her own, don’t hesitate to book her. My only warning? Don’t book her on the same days I need her—she’s that good! 😊 Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my fur babies. You are truly the best!”
About: As a retired nurse and current dog owner of an active Goldendoodle, I understand the benefits of the relationships between people and their pets that positively influence the emotional and physical health and well-being of both. I will provide a safe, fun and loving experience for your four-legged family member. I am recently retired and love walking and interacting with dogs. I am free 7 days a week, but do require advance notice most days. Safety comes first! Communication is key. If your pet has special needs or habits I need to be aware of, please share them with me.
“Maria did a great job looking after our two kitties and really got to know their individual personalities and how to interact with them in the ways they each prefer! She gave us great updates and photos of them (even our more shy cat who prefers to keep to herself). We will definitely rebook next time we go out of town!”
About: I have plenty of experience. I would often pet sit for my parents neighbors and I always grew up with pets in the house. I currently have cats, dogs and chickens. I helped take care of my family dog from when she was a puppy until she was old and could barely walk. I have a dog I got as a puppy and trained him myself and I trained my parents dog when she was a puppy, I taught her all the tricks she knows. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I have experience giving medication. I’m currently self employed and make my own hours and I stay home with my step daughter so I have lots of time on my hands. I am great at caring for your pets needs however you need. I’ve given medication to both cats and dogs so if it is something your pet needs I am the person for you.
“This was our second booking with Anna, and it was every bit as excellent as the first. So much TLC with our 13-year-old cat. He loves her and she loves him. She meets his every need. We love her, too, and will book with her again.”
“Jennifer was amazing and such a huge help for us during a really unpredictable time while we were waiting for the arrival of our son. She was kind enough to stay on standby for drop-in visits with our dog, and the day we got admitted to the hospital she was incredibly easy to get ahold of, accommodating, and flexible. She sent us tons of updates and pictures which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was very clear our dog felt comfortable and happy with her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for her help and will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“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.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! we loved working with erica! we will be using her for every pet sitting need. she went above and beyond for us this holiday and we are so grateful. she sent so many pictures daily of my babies and updated me on how they were doing. she gave great detail every check in on what they were doing and how they played etc. she truly loved on my babies and it made me feel so much better knowing they were getting all the loves while i was away from them!”
“Kevin was in good health and generally happy to see me after our time away. David kept up with him and made sure he had what he needed and played with him and socialized with Kevin daily.”
“Lauren was wonderful. She did everything we asked and took good care of our cat while we were away. She even brought a package inside that was left on our porch so it wouldn't look like we were away. Would definitely engage her again.”

“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!”
“Marlon was great with our pup, it was Genji’s first time with daycare, first time being away from home and he was a little anxious but Marlon made sure Genji felt comfortable. He”
“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”
“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”
“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!”
“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: 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: 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.
About: We're conveniently located just off of hwy 401 and near I-95 and I-40. I've always had family pets since I was the age of 2. I've cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I've been a midwife to many previous cats, bottle fed, watched live births of pups, and administered oral medications. I am always available for play time and snuggle time. I currently work part-time and am only away for 6 hours during the day. During this time my husband or my teen are usually home for part of that time. It's perfect because our pets aren't left all alone for very long. I have 2 dogs, one is playful and one is very relaxed. They have been around other dogs a number of times and loves playing at the dog park. They are friendly. At night our dogs are able to go upstairs and sleep in our room. During your pups stay, they are welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. We have a spare room downstairs that I'm happy to stay in if they need that (my dogs take up our whole bed upstairs). If your pup is crate trained and prefers their crate, I suggest you bring it for their stay so they can feel more at home.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was old enough to walk! I have a cat and great dane, and have had many other small pets in the past. I walk my great dane every day and I am happy to take care of your little loved ones! I am a full time student and work/volunteer part time, so I try to be as flexible as I can with clients.

My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
About: I have diverse experience in different professional and educational roles that provided me with opportunities to service customers, athletes, and furry friends with the most positive experiences possible. From birth, I have lived with dogs and have never gone a day without having one by my side. I have over 15 years experience of dog training, dog sitting, house sitting, and other activities to supplement these disciplines. My strength is centered on my ability to communicate and educate appropriately with dogs and humans alike. I believe dogs are such a blessing to each human's life and we must exercise and provide them with their most primal needs so we can live in harmony! I am a friendly outgoing worker with a knack for making people feel comfortable and have an experience that goes above and beyond their expectations. I have no doubt you will find that I am an excellent candidate for your needs. It would be a dream to be able to put these qualities to work with you and your furry friend.
“Dylan is really good with dogs. Everything you'd want for a dog sitter! My dog immediately liked him and I could tell he was really cared and had fun while we were gone. Dylan kept us updated with pictures and commutes very well. It was great. I'll definitely check with him first for our future needs. Highly recommended!”
“Amber is amazing! It was my first time leaving my little man and amber made it so easy. I got photos all day long and for the first time, I got to sleep in the next morning because Chandler was so tired!!”
“Kate has taken care of my puppy twice now and she is amazing! She sent picture updates and he just looked so happy to be there. Kate is so sweet, responsive, and I'd trust her with my pup again!”
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: 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!

“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”

About: I have grown up with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. Animals have always held a special place in my life, and I understand that our animals are a true member of the family and should be treated as such. I have rescued two dogs of my own; we have learned to roll over, lay down, and spin around. With my years of experience and interaction with animals, I can guarantee that your pet will be in the best care. I currently work on an “as needed” basis so I have a very open day-to-day schedule, leaving me with the availability to spend any amount of time with the sweet dogs/cats in my care. I typically spend the weekends at home with a good book, hiking or playing disc golf in my free time, all of which include my dogs by my side. My dogs are obsessed with the water, so we are often found fishing or swimming at the river or lake when the weather is ideal. I will be caring for my dogs or others animals some of the time so if house-sitting, I might have to come and go here and there but your animals will always be top priority during that time. I will communicate with you before booking what my schedule will look like. I take my pups to the local parks or hiking trails at least a few times a week for new smells and extra activity. I am willing/able to take your dogs to new places if you would like, depending on how well they do in the car. I always dedicate at least 1-2 hours a day to my dog’s physical activity, so your pups will definitely have the opportunity to exercise and release all that energy, followed by an evening of many cuddles and sleeping in the bed. (if allowed)
About: I am a very caring person who loves all animals. I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old and have also helped raise my sister’s cats. I love to give all pets the love and attention they deserve. I can house sit, walk, check in, bathe, or whatever you may need to help care for your pet. I work from home most of the time so I can be flexible to you and your fur baby’s needs. I have raised dogs of pretty much any size so no dog scares me. I can’t wait to meet your sweet pets! I work from home 3-4 days a week so I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet. I can work weekdays or weekends, days or nights. I take care of pets by trying to give them the same love and attention as they would get from you. I try to make them feel comfortable and right at home as much as possible.

“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us.

About: I've grown up around pets my whole life; dogs, cats, fish, even chickens! I can't imagine not being around them! Before I went to college I could dog sit for some of my mom coworkers during the summer. I would take them for walks, play with them, stay over night with them, anything I was asked of. I enjoy being around animals, they bring me joy and boost my serotonin. I promise I will love and care your pet(s) like they are my own! I am currently working a couple of odd jobs over the summer. I am a college athlete and have three volleyball camps to help run this summer. They are all out of town so I will not be available those weeks. I am also an Orientation Leader for my college. It's only for a week in June. It will take up most of the day but I do have times to come check on your animals! Other than that most of my days are free to have plenty of time to play and love on the babies! I am a very active person so I would love to take your dog(s) on walks. Maybe even take them to the park, if that is okay. If you have a yard I'll play with them there as well! I love getting their energy out and then just chilling and cuddling with them to make sure they feel loved.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life. I had my precious Shh-tzu, Mugsy, for 15 years. I I have debated getting another dog. I think right now I would just love to show love to other dogs. Great room in our yard for play! My husband and I also had a farm in Angier with horses, alpacas, a donkey, a sheep, birds. We loved them dearly. When my husband got hip surgery, and then cancer surgery, we decided to find them good homes. Miss them to this day. I have been retired for almost a year. Very flexible schedule through the day. I walk and play outside with them through the day. I spend a lot of one on one time with them. I will basically do whatever you feel comfortable with in regards to caring for your pet. It is just my husband and I at home now, both of us are retired. I am willing to take pets to the doctor or to beauty salon for a little extra expense.

“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”
“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.”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Alison was awesome with our high energy Australian Shepherd puppy. We needed to go out of town last minute where she was able to watch our Josie. We loved the updates and pictures. I would definitely use Alison again.”
“She was an amazing dog sitter. She kept Sheba for 3 days and kept us informed the entire time. She let us know right away if anything was off and truly cared about Sheba’s wellbeing. She was also very kind and professional when we met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.”
“Kaitlyn took such good care of my 4yo husky. She was very responsive and was flexible in making adjustments to the booking.Overall, my dog had a blast staying at Kaitlyn’s house and would highly recommend.”
“Amber is very down to earth and was great when she had to keep my Rocky for the weekend. She is very attentive and I didn't feel the least bit awkward leaving him with her. She put me at ease and I will be using her again.”
“Sayaka was great with our dog Max! Max had a great time playing and came home tired from his visit! Sayaka was great at communicating with us. We got daily pictures and she did a great job identifying and informing us of a potential medical issue. We are very satisfied by the care Max received and attention to detail provided by Sayaka.”
“They were absolutely amazing! I got really good consistent updates on our fur babies and they had a great time! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good environment to have their fur baby stay.”
“Kelly was fantastic to work with and was very responsive to my texts. She regularly updated me about our dog while we were away and gave him the attention needed so that he could feel secure while being away from us. Highly recommend Kelly and will use her again!”
“Kimberly was very accommodating with her time. There was a storm in the area and she offered to keep Madison longer if I did not want to continue my trip until the weather improved. Madison made herself at home with Kimberly and her daughter. She was very well rested for the next leg of our trip home. Thank You Kimberly.”
“Fantastic! Amanda looked after my dog during an extended vacation. Amanda kept us updated and my dog had a wonderful time with her. Thank you, Amanda, for caring for Lily so well.”
“Marisa Was very flexible when I booked a last-minute dog sitting. She took terrific care of Wrigley and kept me updated how he was doing. I would use Marissa again anytime”
“Andrea is a true dog lover and quickly formed a great bond with Flow. She provided nightly updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Andrea is also very flexible, and we’re happy to have her as Flow’s sitter.”
“Kelsey was an amazing sitter!!! Her and her dog Knox kept our dog Millie super entertained and happy! We loved the pictures and constant updates on our precious girl! Will definitely come back again :)”
“Tania was great with our 2 year old Golden Retriever! Sends the most photogenic pictures and she was always great with communication and sending updates. Never had to worry about him while we were gone on vacation :)”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dylan and Erica!! From the moment we dropped our dog, Dillon off, it felt much more like leaving him at a loving home rather than a boarding facility. He received special attention throughout his stay and was clearly treated like part of the family. They made sure he got plenty of walks and multiple trips to the dog park, which he loved. We also really appreciated the regular photo updates — it was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was every day. They have a great yard and tons of toys, so he was never bored. Honestly, by the time the stay was over, we weren’t even sure Dillon wanted to come home with us. That alone says everything. We couldn’t recommend them more and would absolutely trust them with our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Karma stayed with Matthew for 10 days. She does not like men and only tolerates my adult son. Karma really liked Matthew and followed him around. It is such a relief to find a place for her stay.”
“Kelly always takes great care of our boys! They came home very happy and exhausted from playing all weekend. Kelly’s always very professional and communicative and sends adorable pictures of the boys during their stay. Would absolutely recommend and will book again!”
