“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”
“Just came back from my trip and I can say Megan Is Amazing! Her communication was outstanding, she’s very knowledgeable, and accommodating. This experience was so nerve recking for me at first because Dax has never stayed with anyone outside of family. Megan reassured everything would be great and that it was! She sent pictures throughout the entire visit and My Daxon (Rotty) was very happy 😁 *She will definitely be my only choice moving forward ! !”
“Vanessa was very good with Knighthawk. She is also very easy to deal with when I told her that I wasn’t sure what day we may be able to pick him up. We are confident that if we need to board him again that Vanessa would be the one to get the first call.”
“Molly was terrific. Dodger loved her and she gave us constant updates and lots of pictures. She even offered to FaceTime with Dodger too! It put our minds at ease to know that Dodger was being looked after so well, which is something you really need when you're away for a while. We will definitely have Dodger stay with her again.”
“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”
“Evie and Fritz are just wonderful! They welcomed my dog into their home for 5 days and she was so happy, friends to play with, lots of love and attention and she looked so at ease. They sent lots of pictures of her playing and resting, so I knew it was going well. I highly recommend them for playtime or overnights stays!”
“Ronnie had a fantastic stay! Amanda was very communicative with me and wonderful with my very sensitive dog. I’m usually nervous to leave my girl with new people but this time I felt like I could relax.”
“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”
“Ms. Crystal is ALWAYS wonderful. Cotton nearly jumped out of the car when we pulled up so I know she loves on my babe!! I will always book with her for my out of town trips. I trust her.”
“Ashley’s family made Minnow feel right at home! She provides an excellent space for care, play, and rest - our pup was hesitant to leave! Ashley was also incredibly flexible with a last-minute injury changing our dog’s routine and provided everything she needed to stay comfortable.”
“The best! Isabel and her family are so great with dogs! My pup gets happy when she realizes where she is and can't wait to hop out and play. Isabel is so nice and easygoing, my pup feels at home. Isabel has been very understanding of my adjusting to the Rover platform too since is devised not to install the app. I feel confident it's a great place and her photos are frameable! .💚💚💚”
“Best sitter ever!!! So caring. Sent photos of my baby while sitting her made me feel so confident and trusting of her. My dog even showed affection toward her right away and made me feel relieved!! Will def book again❤️🥰😘until next time!!”
“Cathy is a real gem, a treasure. Our boy George was in heaven during his stay with her. Her communications were frequent and the pictures were great. I never felt any sense of concern on my vacation about the care of my pet. I highly recommend Cathy but I would like to keep her as a best kept secret because she's so good at that she does. Thank you Cathy!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!”
“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”

“Wow…this woman is amazing. Having Autumn stay at our house and take care of our pets (cats and hermit crabs) was like having extended family. Very professional, great communication. But she really went above and beyond when our A/C went out on some VERY hot days. She made alternative arrangements for our cats at her house; a feat which was not easy since she had her own pets. When we got home, everyone was home waiting for us. House looked amazing, crabitat was clean, plants outside were perfectly watered and our kitties got an unexpected vacay of their own. This allowed us to finish out our trip and not return early and I knew everyone was in good hands. I am so thankful for her”
“Gwen did a terrific job caring for my cat, Stormy. During our initial meet and greet, she asked all the right questions regarding Stormy’s dietary needs, play preferences, and habits. Gwen was conscientious in preparing her food, which required blending in a dietary supplement. She has demonstrated excellent “cat sense” and was able to quickly establish a warm relationship with Stormy. On occasions when I needed to communicate with her, she would respond quickly and positively. Her reports were thorough and concise, and her photos and videos were very useful to help us monitor a lip condition Stormy had developed shortly before my trip. In all, Gwen is a delightful individual: personable, a good communicator and professional. I will certainly look for her to care for Stormy in the future.”
“We’re so glad we found Sharon to check in on our cats while we were away! We’re new to the area and had to move away from our beloved animal sitters, and Sharon stepped into the role beautifully for our girls. She took great care of them, playing with them and making sure they were healthy and safe in our absence. We’re so grateful and can’t wait to have her back!”
“Brianna was wonderful! Her update are great - above and beyond. it truly seemed like our cats didn't even notice we were away! Brianna will be the first person I call when I travel.”
About: I was raised with a Swiss mountain dog for an older sister, and became her caretaker in later years. I’ve had dogs in my life ever since, and have learned the right mix of patience, attention, and love that it takes to give them the life they deserve! As a recent college grad who moved away from home, I dearly miss my own dog and would love to meet yours ❤️ As a Duke grad, I now work at the Duke Campus Farm as a communications fellow. My days end early, and a large percentage of work can be done remotely while watching your pup. As someone who has dealt with their fair share of naughty pets, I can keep a watchful eye on your dog in or out of the house and crate as needed.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was 12, from a chihuahua mix to a labrador mix. I've had my current dog, a shi-tzu poodle mix, for 8 years now! I also have 2 cats as well. I have fostered kittens and have found furever homes with trusted friends and neighbors. I've cared for my neighbors' and friends' dogs when they vacation. They have entrusted me with their dogs and cats to walk, bathe, and feed them. I love animals and deeply care and respect every little critter that comes my way. Aftering graduating App State this past May, I stay in Boone and sometimes travel back home. I currently have time more time on my hands than usual. I welcome any pet and will treat them like my own. I live in an apartment and love going to the Greenway trail so I'll be sure to exercise your pet and am willing to care for them in the comfort of their own home.
“Ana took wonderful care of Juniper and Finn while I was away. She shared photos of each visit so that I could see how well they were doing and she even brought a few packages in from the porch for me. Ana offered to do additional coverage when my flight home was unexpectedly cancelled and I appreciated her flexibility. I highly recommend Ana.”
“Heidi is phenomenal! Her service was exceptional. I will definitely be using her services again! My Sadie girl took very well to her. She kept me updated daily with check ins and pictures which I really appreciate. We are all always nervous when leaving a loved one with a stranger but I must say Heidi made me feel at ease. THANK YOU SO MUCH HEIDI!”
About: Although I do not have any cats of my own just yet, I have almost ten years of experience caring for the cats of my family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of kittens, adult, and senior cats alike. I am also good at handling any specific food or care requests!
About: I have two cats, Simon and Theo, who are both very lovable and very needy. I am responsible for all of their grooming and basic necessities such as litter box cleaning and changing, feeding, play time and comfort. I understand that every cat is different and I am more than willing to learn all about your cat's special needs and unique personality.
“She came accepted the 2x/day drop-in 3days in a row within minutes of my request! She was very accommodating! Loved on my puppy! Loved the picture updates and report card of the visit! I will be using her again!”
“Kelly took excellent care of mybtwobpets while I was out of town for a week. He was a great communicator and sent pictures of the cats when he visited. I'd definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needs pet care.”
About: I've been caring for cats since I was 10 years old. My pet sitting journey actually began with my neighbor's cat, who took an instant liking to me and became my very first client. These days, I share my home with two chaos gremlins of my own, and cats remain one of my greatest passions in life.
About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.
About: Hi! I’m Whitney — a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom of two! I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, from helping neighbors with their dogs to fostering kittens and keeping friends’ furry family members happy while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I love getting to know each pets personality. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and lots of updates for peace of mind. I am responsible, on time, and work hard! After a full day at work, spending time with animals is honestly my favorite way to unwind. My evenings are calm and flexible, which makes it easy for me to focus on walks, playtime, and quality care. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or giving your pet some extra love after dinner, I always make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I treat every visit like a chance to relax and connect — it’s not just part of my routine, it’s the best part of my day. Your pets will never feel like an afterthought; they’re the highlight of my evenings! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their favorite humans are away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so I can make them feel completely comfortable. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’ll match their pace and make sure they get the perfect mix of attention, activity, and rest.

“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”
“Angela did a wonderful job looking after my very anxious, older dog - and sent me pics showing her settled in and calm on a day when I was quite concerned about her. I have already booked a 7 day boarding with her in June.”
“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”

“Cynthia was great, full of energy and super in tune with our dog’s personality right from the get go! She made him feel right at home with her and her pups. Thank you so much!”
“Sarah and Josiah always take great care of our pup! He was so happy to hang out with them today and is absolutely exhausted now that he’s home - which means he had way too much fun!”
“Heather was able to accept my request for day care for my dog very quickly or last minute. My pup was happy and tired at the end of the day. I would recommend going to heather for day care!”
“Adrian is amazing! My pup loves going there; it’s very evident that Adrian takes great care of her and I feel relieved during the work day knowing that she is in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”
“Yesel was wonderful! Our dog had a great time with her and her sweet dog Ripley. She was also super flexible and understanding with coordinating pick-up and drop-off plans when we ran into some scheduling issues with our house sitter. It was clear that she was experienced and comfortable with dogs and caring for them. We will definitely contact her again!”
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
About: Hi, I have a passion for animals and I make sure they are well cared for! I go the extra mile to make sure they don’t feel sad while you are away. Hi! I am a mom of 3 and a nanny but I still pet sit. Sometimes I have to bring my kids and the kids I care for with me. I make sure they don’t damage anything. They are pampered with plenty of love! I treat them as part of the family and make sure to take pictures to send to the family.
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
“Jasper was suffering from anxiety after using a dog walker and I decided Doggy daycare would be a better choice. He needed daily activity while I was at work and Katie has given that. Her children love being around dogs and play with Jasper all day. He is tired out by the time I pick him up, perfect because I am too after a long day. I rebound with him over the weekend and all is well. Now when I pickup my car keys he is at the door thinking we are going to Katies every time, hilarious. Katie is great and I will continue using her home to keep my dog safe and stimulated all day. Thanks Katie”

“Tina took wonderful care of our dog, Dante. She is incredibly attentive and always seemed to be one step ahead of us with thoughtful ideas and suggestions to make sure he was happy and comfortable. After returning from a two-week trip, we noticed something that had never happened before—Dante, who is normally a very anxious dog, was calm, relaxed, and emotionally settled. That alone speaks volumes about the love, patience, and care Tina gave him. Being away from home for such a long time was much easier because we knew Dante was in the best hands. Thank you, Tina, for treating him with so much love, kindness, and responsibility. We are truly grateful and would trust you with Dante again without hesitation.”
“Lauren is incredibly reliable and takes some of the best pictures we have of Rosie! We always know our wild puppy is in good hands when we book Lauren to walk her!”
“Kayvon was a life saver for me and our dogs. He was super kind and took care of my babies on daily walks. I can’t recommend him enough for all your dog walking dog taking care of needs.”
About: I couldn't imagine my life without animals. My mom bred labs when I was a kid and I have always lived in a house with dogs. I worked in a vet for a while I was in high school where I walked, fed, cleaned up after, and provided medications to dogs visiting or boarding. I have also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends for years. I’m always available by phone. I am also more than willing to send pictures or texts to pet parents that would like them. I currently work full time Monday through Friday in a remote capacity and on site as needed, but I’m lucky enough to have a lot of flexibility. I have always treated pets as part of the family and think that all animals should be treated with compassion. I also believe that positive reinforcement is the most effective training method and that you can always teach an old dog new tricks.

I am also a proud dog and cat mom, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them while you are away. During my undergraduate years at Tulane University, I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Orleans, where I helped walk and care for shelter dogs. I also had the opportunity to work with service animals through my university, which gave me additional experience understanding the importance of patience, consistency, responsibility, and following each animal’s individual needs and routines. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and compassionate, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of school.

About: I began my journey learning about responsible pet care and dog training when I was ten years old and enrolled in 4H with my puppy. Since that early age I have gained professional experience in vet clinics, pet stores, and as a professional dog jogger. I did extensive research on positive reinforcement training when I adopted my shy, border collie mix puppy in 2020 and am a strong believer in its ability to form strong bonds and trust with any pet. I currently have a remote job that gives me open flexibility. I can also make evening visits and overnights stays throughout the week. I can work from your home on my laptop when I am pet/house sitting, providing a lot of companionship for your best friend! I will care for the pets in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I am open to developing pet care in my home for doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard and am located right next to Cedarock Rock. I walk our dogs there almost daily. Our young dog Hugo would love a dog to play with!
About: I have been watching people’s furry family members for 10 years, giving them the love and care they need while their humans are away. I have experience with special needs pets, elderly pets, and other pets (chinchillas, bearded dragons, chickens, fish). I am comfortable administering medicines and other treatments, as well as cleaning up after/bathing animals when needed. Please keep in mind when booking that I require a weeks notice for jobs. I have another part time job that I have to give notice to. I am currently working full-time at a cafe/brunch restaurant. My typical shifts are 9-4 Wednesday-Thursday. If needed I have no issue with visiting your pets on my lunch break, given that they are a feasible distance from my job. I am available to watch your pets/home for any length of time. I am aware of how stressful it can be for your pet to not only be without their family, but to have a stranger come into their home. I make a point to gain your pets trust using experience and respect. I adapt to the needs of your pet, making sure their are cared for to the fullest, while also staying within their boundaries.

I am currently working part-time and attending classes on Tuesday and Thursday, but I am available for nighttime check ins on those days. I am very patient and understanding, so please just communicate anything you need and I will work with you! I am currently staying in a dorm and am unfortunately unable to board pets. I am able to provide your pet with any kind of care in-home that you need, whether that is administering medicine, puppy care, training practice, basic necessities and, of course, play time! I am also available for house cleaning and general chores as requested.
About: Hi, I’m Sierra. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I’m based in Chapel Hill and provide services throughout the Triangle. I currently work with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My schedule is very flexible and often remote, which allows me to spend extended time in your home for house sitting or provide multiple drop-in visits each day, whatever best fits your pet’s needs. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and those with special needs. I began volunteering at animal shelters in my early teens and continued pet sitting for neighbors throughout high school and college. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—cats and dogs, along with hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Currently, I share my home with three cats: my 16-year-old Maine Coon mix, Leo, and two rescue girls, Indigo and Periwinkle. While I don’t have a dog of my own yet, my family has four, and I plan to adopt one in the future. I’m experienced with administering medications (including insulin), as well as providing baths, light grooming, enrichment, and dog park visits. I’m also happy to help with household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, loving, and attentive care. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛 My current role allows me to be able to work remotely so my routine can be very flexible depending on your preferences and pet needs! I’d care for your pets in your home as I’d care for my own pets at home, with all the snuggles, treats and playtime they need!
About: I have a natural connection with dogs. I have owned dogs over the years, as a child and as an adult. I have been in contact with many breeds and I haven't met a dog that didn't like me or I didn't love. I would care for your pet as if they were my own. I'm reliable and attentive to your pets needs by showering them with love and affection. I have a happy home with many trails for walks and runs. I'm available most of the day and can accomodate most schedules. I currently have a small chiweenie (Dachshund-Chihuahua mix). She is spade and about 3 years old. She is a rescue dog. She is very well tempered and gets along with all dogs, big and small.
About: I have had all different breeds of dogs in my life and am very familiar with all of the different personalities of dogs! My family members and friends have relied on me to watch over their fur family members. My schedule is very flexible and I have a ton of availability. When you book with me, my priority is your pet and their needs. I have a very friendly dog that can tag along for walks if your dog may need social time or a buddy! You can trust that I will care for your pet as if it were my own! :)
About: I have been around and owned dogs most of my life. I have owned small dogs (chihuahua, yorkiepoo) as well as bigger dogs (boxers, goldendoodle). I work full time though on the weekends I have plenty of time to feed, potty and play with your babies. Of course they would get spoiled . I have 3 fenced in areas in my back yard. One of the areas has 3 of my dogs. One of the fence areas is connected to the back porch when my Boxer and his pit mix sister potty and play. The other fence area is not being used by any dogs now. I have plenty of room for your pupper and can use a create if you prefer.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.
About: Ive grown up with animals my whole life, I started walking my family dog and cleaning up after my family cats when I was pretty young and Ive been doing it ever since! I take care of my own dog, and I have also had experience house sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Im currently in school at Alamance Community College, and I have class 9-5 every Tuesday and Thursday. Other than that and the occasional appointment I am pretty open :) I like to follow a timely schedule with my dog (when I feed her, when I walk her, when I take her out, etc.) But of course it isn’t always perfect, and I am willing to adapt to any specific instructions/ guidelines.

“Sharon was wonderful. Our gal Luna had a great time roaming around her property and playing with other dogs. Sharon sent lots of pictures and updates and even arranged a meet and greet before her first stay!”
“Just came back from my trip and I can say Megan Is Amazing! Her communication was outstanding, she’s very knowledgeable, and accommodating. This experience was so nerve recking for me at first because Dax has never stayed with anyone outside of family. Megan reassured everything would be great and that it was! She sent pictures throughout the entire visit and My Daxon (Rotty) was very happy 😁 *She will definitely be my only choice moving forward ! !”
“Vanessa was very good with Knighthawk. She is also very easy to deal with when I told her that I wasn’t sure what day we may be able to pick him up. We are confident that if we need to board him again that Vanessa would be the one to get the first call.”
“Molly was terrific. Dodger loved her and she gave us constant updates and lots of pictures. She even offered to FaceTime with Dodger too! It put our minds at ease to know that Dodger was being looked after so well, which is something you really need when you're away for a while. We will definitely have Dodger stay with her again.”
“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”
“Evie and Fritz are just wonderful! They welcomed my dog into their home for 5 days and she was so happy, friends to play with, lots of love and attention and she looked so at ease. They sent lots of pictures of her playing and resting, so I knew it was going well. I highly recommend them for playtime or overnights stays!”
“Ronnie had a fantastic stay! Amanda was very communicative with me and wonderful with my very sensitive dog. I’m usually nervous to leave my girl with new people but this time I felt like I could relax.”
“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”
“Ashley’s family made Minnow feel right at home! She provides an excellent space for care, play, and rest - our pup was hesitant to leave! Ashley was also incredibly flexible with a last-minute injury changing our dog’s routine and provided everything she needed to stay comfortable.”
“The best! Isabel and her family are so great with dogs! My pup gets happy when she realizes where she is and can't wait to hop out and play. Isabel is so nice and easygoing, my pup feels at home. Isabel has been very understanding of my adjusting to the Rover platform too since is devised not to install the app. I feel confident it's a great place and her photos are frameable! .💚💚💚”
“Best sitter ever!!! So caring. Sent photos of my baby while sitting her made me feel so confident and trusting of her. My dog even showed affection toward her right away and made me feel relieved!! Will def book again❤️🥰😘until next time!!”
“Cathy is a real gem, a treasure. Our boy George was in heaven during his stay with her. Her communications were frequent and the pictures were great. I never felt any sense of concern on my vacation about the care of my pet. I highly recommend Cathy but I would like to keep her as a best kept secret because she's so good at that she does. Thank you Cathy!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Zeno had a wonderful stay! He got along great with her kids as well as her two dogs, all of which played with him. He came home happy and relaxed. We received great communication with lots of pictures about his stay.”
“Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!”
“Krystene is an AMAZING sitter. She took care of my anxious puppy, and even helped with his medical treatment. I highly recommend her because your baby will be in very good care with her.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
