“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!”
“Very thankful to have Samira take care of our puppy during the Thanksgiving holiday! He has a lot of energy and is only 6 months old. Very friendly family and would definitely have them keep Rip again. Highly recommend!”
“Larry and Pamela were great with Odin. They sent pictures each day and kept me up to date on how things were going. I will definitely use their services next time I need someone to watch Odin.”
“Ercilia is absolutely wonderful with Angus. He's a senior dog with many senior issues and medications. She's always very kind to him and compassionate about his problems. She does a great job with him and he's always happy to stay.”
“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.”
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
“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!”
“This was the first time our pup had stayed away from us and I was nervos but Maria kept me updated and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. She took great care of him and we will be using her from this point forward! :)”

“Caitlin and her family were great to meet and I am incredibly thankful to have found a home where our dog is happy and well cared for. She kept us updated with lots of pictures which made being away easier. Thank you so much!!”
“I had an amazing experience with Branden and Nikkishae! From the start, communication was great and I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy in their care. They were patient, attentive, and clearly have a natural love for animals. My puppy was well taken care of, and I could tell he felt safe and comfortable the entire time. They kept me updated and made the whole process stress-free for me, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pet. They are officially my go-to pet sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”

She even noticed a bump on Teddy that I had not noticed before, I am going to have him checked at the Vet later this week. I will definitely see if she is available the next time I have to go out of town.”
“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“My Harley had a great time I was very pleased with the care and the many updates that were sent without having to ask. When Harley first arrived he had an accident I’m thinking he was nervous out the car ride she understood didn’t make an issue out of it and we went on with the appointment. Harley didn’t want to leave 🤣😊 the home was clean and cool I will certainly be rebooking.”
“China came to the rescue! At the time of this review, I have used China as my pet sitter twice. The first time was two weeks ago right after I got the news that my stepfather had passed. I had to get a sitter with only a couple hours for a notice. My 8.5 month old doodle stayed with her for 5 days and had such a good time. China has two super friendly dogs who were eager to play with my pup. Kai had access to a fenced in yard. China provided photo updates each day. When I had to leave town again just days later for the funeral. Ms. China was my first choice because I knew my dog would be happy and safe with her.”
“Kristin took excellent care of my fur baby! She has a huge fenced yard that my dog loved. She was extremely nice and her home is clean. I will definitely use her again.”
“Caitlin was absolutely the best! She took amazing care of Kali Mae, who felt completely at home with her. Thank you for all the pictures and for loving on Kali as if she were your own. I’d definitely use her again!”

“Alexis did a great job of caring for our kitties, Nala and Adelaide, while we were away for a week. Although Alexis had never been to our home, she easily followed the provided directions to ensure that our girls had clean litter and fresh water, and that our home was secure. She was very professional in communications as well. We will look forward to hiring her for future trips.”
“Alivia is awesome! She has been great with my VERY shy nine year old cat multiple times in the past. This weekend she was also AMAZING with my two rambunctious kittens. They enjoyed Alivia's attention & affection. I really appreciated her prompt updates & photos.”
About: While I am a proud dog parent, I love cats! Growing up in a multi-pet world, I know that cats dictate their own rules. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who wants to play or a shy hider who just needs their boundaries respected, I adapt completely to their personality. I make sure your cat receives the exact routine they thrive on by providing fresh food, water refills, and a meticulously scooped litter box during every visit. My experience managing a diverse three-dog pack has taught me to highly respect individual pet boundaries, so I naturally adapt to your cat's unique mood. I will always keep you connected to your feline friend with detailed text updates and photos from every single check-in!
About: I have always grown up around cats and have taken care of them for family and friends when they have been on vacations. I am familiar with indoor or out door pets, cleaning of the litter boxes, and how much food to feed them. I can also administer medication if needed.
“Nikki is amazing and dependable. Whatever your routine she will follow it. Takes time with pets to reassure them they are cared about with love, attention and some playtime. Highly recommend Nikki she is very respectful and friendly.”
About: I have grown up with all different kinds of pets. Along with watching friends pets, I have worked for companies such as United Paws and Wag. I can do early mornings and evenings, I am in the military so that takes up my time from 9-1700. I do have Saturdays and Sundays off. I will care for the pets as if they are my own. Lots of love and playing and treats if permitted. Pet deserve full attention and that is what they will get.
“Skylar did an excellent job watching my critters and handled a few challenges that arose like a champ! You can definitely feel secure leaving your fur babies in her care.”
“Great friend to our dog! Brittany gives good reports of her visits and makes sure your pet is cared for and attended to properly. Our dog is always happy to have her checkin on him.”
“Aimie was so attentive and caring for our boys! Gave them supervised outside time and made sure to find our shy boy before leaving. Took tons of pictures and kept us in the loop while we were gone”
“Very attentive pet sitter. We have e a cat that needs meds, and she was able and willing to smash up the medication and get into his food. Another of our cats was feeling under the weather and she communicated this to us and was able to care for her. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Grace was great!! She came by as scheduled and communicated with us daily with pictures and messages! I think by the end of the week she had a couple of new kitty BFFs! We will definitely use her again!!”
“Alicia, was a very conscientious pet and house sitter. I had her stay at my home with my three cats and she was in constant communication, providing me with updates and picture. She also left the house as clean as it was when she arrived. I would highly recommend Alicia and I will definitely have her watch my pets again.”

About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊
About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
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.
“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!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with anyone other than family that is around him oftern! He had a great time! Maria was great at communicating and made sure i was updated regularly! I had a little separation anxiety but the open communication was definitely helpful and helped ease my anxiety. I would recommend Maria, she cared for my fur baby like one of her own. He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Celina, an animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I recently relocated from Alaska to North Carolina and am excited to provide top-quality care for pets in my new community. My passion for animals drives me to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether you need a regular pet sitter or someone for a special occasion, I’m here to help! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked with dogs who have anxiety and understand how to make them feel more at ease, whether it’s through a calming environment, routine, or extra attention. I’m also skilled at administering medication to both cats and dogs, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, house sitting and doggy daycare. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure. Additionally, I can assist with light housework, such as cleaning up after pets and watering plants. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I genuinely love taking care of pets and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs medication, special attention, or just someone to be there while you're away, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily life. I take my daughter on daily walks, so having a friendly dog to accompany us is always a joy—if your dog is comfortable and safe around children. If not, no worries! I can leave my daughter with a trusted person while I give your pet my full attention. I have my own car, so transportation to your location is never an issue. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need, no matter what! When caring for pets in your home, I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, ensuring your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. During my visits, I’ll feed, water, and play with your pet, as well as clean up after them. I take special care to ensure your pet’s safety by following your guidelines and routines, keeping doors securely closed, and making sure they’re always supervised. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, companionship, or medication, I ensure they’re safe and happy until you return. Safety is my top priority when walking dogs. I ensure that dogs are always leashed and carefully monitored during walks. If your dog enjoys walks and is safe around children, I can bring them along on my daily walks with my daughter. For dogs that require more individualized attention, I provide solo walks in quiet, pet-friendly areas to keep them safe. While house sitting, I make sure your pet stays safe and secure in your home, following their routine to minimize any stress. I also keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and take care of light tasks like watering plants. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
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. I am happy to make space in my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I do not leave pets unattended. I am very observant and quick on my feet. Your pets safety is my #1 concern. My pets get loads of love and attention they need at home
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
About: Ever since I was little I have had an unconditioned love for all animals and it has always been my dream to work with them when I got older. I always treat every animal like they are my own no matter who’s pet is, my last 2 jobs were a dog bather and I have loved every second of it and I can’t wait to work with animals again. I am currently able for full time, I am availability at all times and so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always here when needed. I have a safe animal environment inside my home to where your animal is safe throughout my whole place, I have a back yard where I can take them to the bathroom when needed, I also always have a food and a water bowl out so if your pet is hungry or thirsty they will have full access to their needs. I have toys for both cats and dogs and they are kept clean after every dog use and I have a fully vaccinated dog and he is very sweet and loves all animals so if wanted my dog can keep your dog or cat accompanied.
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 loved animals all my life and have had pets in the home since I was born. I first started babysitting others pets while their owners were on Leave or TDY starting in the 3rd grade. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of grass for your pet to run and play. While your pet is in my care, they will be given plenty of potty breaks, exercise and play time. I will send you pictures and brief updates throughout their stay to put your mind at ease. I have extensive experience dealing with senior pets who need medications and who need special care due to specific medical ailments. Your pet will always be treated as my family. They will get hugs and kisses, too! Please don't let my address in Wade deter you...I am only 8 miles from Ramsey Street!! For safety reasons, we cannot take care of Pitt Bulls or any pet that is aggressive. If it is the first time caring for your pet, I will ask to do a Meet and Greet so we can all meet one another to ensure our pets will all get along. I work remotely from home so your pet will rarely be left alone. I have two dogs of my own, so your pet will have plenty of company to play with. Since I do work from home, I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and time to go outside in the yard to run and play. I have a very large fenced in yard that is all grass and very clean providing your pet plenty of room to run and play or just time to walk around the yard and explore. I will never leave your pet outside alone. Either my husband or I will be with them the entire time. While inside the house, they will have full access to clean water, plenty of toys and soft dog beds, all in our very clean home. If I am dropping in on your pet in your home, you can rest assured that I will be on time for the visit, take them to potty, and give them plenty of love. I will be very respectful of your home and only go in the areas needed for me to do the visit. For safety reason, I will not be able to watch Pitt Bulls or pets that are aggressive in any way. Please let me know if your dog can jump or climb fences, or is an escape artist.
“Noni told me all I needed to know about this sitter when she acted like she didnt want to leave with me just yet ☹️lol! A very good sign that she not only felt safe but cared for at the same time. Juleysi comes highly recommended from me!”
About: Ever since I was a baby all I can remember is having pets and caring for them. Walking them, feeding them, letting them outside and giving them love. I have 2 fur babies of my own who are beyond spoiled. I have trained my current 2 dogs and our family dog back home in Michigan, with potty training and basic commands. I’ve cared for dogs who need medications including my own pup who gets ear infections. I have a fenced in privacy fence backyard with a good amount of running room. I am currently not working so I’m a stay at home mom. I’m available all days of the week all hours and most holidays. This gives me and your fury friend plenty of time to play and be outdoors, or for me to spend extra time with them in your home. I have a fenced in back and front yard and two fur pups of my own. This can give your fur baby playmates as well as mine. I can easily accommodate to crates, special diets, medications and almost anything your fur friend needs. I have 2 totes of toys, and a 5 gallon water jug down at all times.
“We just used Julia for our first time and she did not disappoint! She was very kind to our pup and gave a nice big report on him at the end of the visit. Julia is very sweet and has a big heart for animals. I appreciate her honesty and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Absolutely loved it! The dogs were so excited when they first got there, I was updated throughout the day and on top of that, my oldest dog wanted to stay! They were both tired when they came home and you can tell they were loved and cared for! She was quick to respond and I would 100% go with her again!”

They have tons of places to run and play. I could also crate them if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s energetic puppy care, patient senior support, or helping shy pets feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while owners are away. As a pre-VMT student with a strong passion for animal care, I focus on safety, communication, and treating every pet like family. I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and those I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I am currently working part-time while also in school full time. My time for pets is fairly open and will try my best to find a time that works for all involved. In the clients home I follow each pets normal schedule to make everything run as smoothly as possible and keep them feeling safe and comfortable while their pawrent is away. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and yard clean up. For drop-in visits and overnight stays the same applies.
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.

No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it.

“This was Alexis’ first time with my dog Otis and she was a hit. She communicated appropriately and arrived at the time she promised. She provided multiple pictures of the activities and locked my house back up like I asked her to. All around positive experience!”
About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.
About: My name is Brittany. I am 24 years old and have been taking care of dogs and animals since I can remember. Growing up I always had a dog ranging from little chihuahuas to big pit bulls. I was always the one to bathe, feed, walk, and train my fur babies. I have a couple years in the veterinary medicine field as well. I have administered oral and injectable medications for cats and dogs. I currently work Monday through Thursday 8am-5pm and Friday 8am-1pm. I am completely free on the weekends to house sit, drop in and check in, and walk your precious fur babies though. Currently at this time I can not offer any in home boarding. I will be more than glad to come over and walk, feed, and care for your fur babies.
“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”
About: I have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.
“We didn’t get to meet Amanda as we had to make an emergency trip out of town so hoping for the best. Amanda exceeded our expectations! She was very responsive and friendly. Detail oriented as she let us know what all she did and was flexible to our new home and coordinating how to get into our home. * she even brought in my Amazon order from the porch! Amanda sent pics of olive and walked her much longer than we do (she is 13). I’m sure this helped with some of Olives anxiety of us being away! We will definitely request Amanda again. My daughter also was so happy with her and her communication.”
“Eric was on time, professional, and my dog adored him. For 30 minutes each day, he walked him and even got on the ground and played with him. I will certainly ask Eric to help out in the future when I need a walker again.”
“My boys can be a bit much when first meeting new people and the two together can be a little overwhelming.. Sandra has really been so good with them and they respond very well with her! We are thankful for her patience and the work she does with them ! Such a blessing for us!”
About: Hi there! I’m a reliable, animal-loving caregiver who treats every pet like family. As a stay-at-home mom and army veteran, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail into everything I do—including caring for your furry companions. I’m very active and love staying outdoors, so whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’ve got it covered. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. 🐶 My Experience I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, administering basic medications, and sticking to any specific instructions you provide. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll make sure their routine stays as normal as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a stay-at-home mom while attending school online, with a flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day, so I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime without pets being left alone for long. Staying active is already part of my lifestyle, so caring for pets blends easily into my daily routine while ensuring they get plenty of love and care. I care for dogs in their home by following their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space while also respecting your home. You’ll get regular updates so you know your pet is doing great.
About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends for as long as I can remember. From playful puppies to senior pets, I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s going for long walks, keeping up with their favorite routines, or just spending quiet time together, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule around your pets’ needs. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or late evenings, I can be there when you need me most. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I’m attentive to routines, careful about details, and committed to keeping your pets comfortable and secure at all times. You can relax knowing they’re in caring and responsible hands.
About: I've had pets my whole life with the majority of them being rescues. I currently have three huskies and a doberman, as well as a leopard gecko. I have also in the past had chickens and fish that I greatly miss caring for. So whether the house or the farm I'm ready for your babies! I'm currently focusing all of my time on pet sitting so I can care for your babies at any time and for however long I am needed. I am based out of Lillington and am able to travel to the surrounding areas where I can care for your pets in your home, whether that be giving medication, feeding, playing or continuing any training that you have started.
About: I’m always available, don’t really have any special skills, pets love me, I have 6 cats and 2 dogs, the dogs stay outside during the day. I’m pet care insured, and CPR/First Aid Certified I’m currently unemployed, so I’m always home, I always have time for playing with and cuddling with your pets! They will always be exhausted and loved I would prefer to do an overnight in your home as to not stress your pets out too much! They will be very cared for

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of my little fur baby. I could see the joy on my pup's face in the photo updates she sent me! I would recommend Emily to anyone. 10 out of 10!”
“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.”
“Jessie D and family were awesome. They really treated Tank like a VIP. They have an amazing yard and there two dogs accepted Tank and played with him nonstop. We will be bringing him back whenever we have a need to board Tank again. Thanks Jessie!”
“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!”
“This was the first time our pup had stayed away from us and I was nervos but Maria kept me updated and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. She took great care of him and we will be using her from this point forward! :)”
“I had an amazing experience with Branden and Nikkishae! From the start, communication was great and I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy in their care. They were patient, attentive, and clearly have a natural love for animals. My puppy was well taken care of, and I could tell he felt safe and comfortable the entire time. They kept me updated and made the whole process stress-free for me, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pet. They are officially my go-to pet sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“My Chico and Teddy had a wonderful time with Megan. She sent pics every day and I knew the babies were being very well cared for. She even noticed a bump on Teddy that I had not noticed before, I am going to have him checked at the Vet later this week. I will definitely see if she is available the next time I have to go out of town.”
“Kimberley was amazing with our pup Dodger! She’s reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Dodger was so happy and well cared for💙 Thanks again for caring for our fur toddler🐾”
“My Harley had a great time I was very pleased with the care and the many updates that were sent without having to ask. When Harley first arrived he had an accident I’m thinking he was nervous out the car ride she understood didn’t make an issue out of it and we went on with the appointment. Harley didn’t want to leave 🤣😊 the home was clean and cool I will certainly be rebooking.”
“China came to the rescue! At the time of this review, I have used China as my pet sitter twice. The first time was two weeks ago right after I got the news that my stepfather had passed. I had to get a sitter with only a couple hours for a notice. My 8.5 month old doodle stayed with her for 5 days and had such a good time. China has two super friendly dogs who were eager to play with my pup. Kai had access to a fenced in yard. China provided photo updates each day. When I had to leave town again just days later for the funeral. Ms. China was my first choice because I knew my dog would be happy and safe with her.”
“Kristin took excellent care of my fur baby! She has a huge fenced yard that my dog loved. She was extremely nice and her home is clean. I will definitely use her again.”
“Caitlin was absolutely the best! She took amazing care of Kali Mae, who felt completely at home with her. Thank you for all the pictures and for loving on Kali as if she were your own. I’d definitely use her again!”
About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.
“Rena was very thorough with Max. She sent me pictures and text messages several times a day! I appreciated how she kept me informed on my little guy! If you are looking for someone to take care of your animal(s), book with Rena! She is one of the best out there! A++”
“Celina and Justin and their lil girl were perfect for our puppy. He was definitely taken care of and we received a couple of photos along the way of which puts you at ease. They treated him as their own. I think he misses them after we picked him up. Great people. Would definitely recommend. 👍”
“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”
“Absolutely awesome. Amber was very kind and attentive taking care of our dog. He is blind and sometimes has potty troubles when in new places. She took that in stride, and when it seemed like his stomach was upset she even made him chicken and rice with pumpkin to help him feel better. Can't say enough! We are so very thankful to her, and her family, welcoming our dog into their home and treating him well.”
“We used Connie's services once again due to her obvious love and great care of our Zoe girl! She provided updates including pictures and videos that we appreciate so much! It's great to know that our family can depend on Connie to take care of Zoe while we are on vacation.”
“She is awesome! When our trip got extended by delayed planes home, she was more than accommodating with us. We had near daily photo updates of our doggy, and she was very communicative and informative and flexible. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy babysitter!”
“My pup came back to me SO happy and so calm, he had the absolute best time. He can be a pretty anxious guy, so I was extremely impressed. He got lots of time with other pups and time running around outside, which was wonderful. Could not recommend more!!!”
