“Deanna and Sully are incredible. My dog was in great hands with them and they gave me peace of mind. They sent me ton of pictures and let me know if there was anything of note with my dog. Pick them!”
“This was my first time using a sitter, and Vanessa was terrific! We got daily updates and pictures, and my pup was kept busy! He’s pretty much been sleeping since we got home. 😊”
“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”
“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”
“Cooper had a great Christmas with Brittany! He was cuddled and loved on and got plenty of time playing fetch. I got the cutest pictures every day and it made me feel so relieved knowing Cooper was safe an being loved!”
“Martine and Ron were an answer to my prayers! Cello, my 11 year old dachshund, stayed for 7 days. I received regular updates that put my mind at ease. Martine patiently answered my questions leading up to and during Cello's stay. They followed all instructions and even kept Cello on his eating/sleeping schedule. I highly recommend Martine and Ron! 😊”
“Karisa was great! she made sure to send pics and videos of grace, and kept me updated! Also grace had a great time with the other dogs and kids. She was very accommodating when i needed her an extra day! She is the best!”
“She is very good with updating me about my dog. I can tell that Yanke genuinely cares for the pets left under her care. 100% will rebook her for future.”
“Mel was great with our German Shepherd. Took great care of him, sent photos and check-ins throughout the week, and definitely kept him busier than we do! Would definitely book again!”
“Kayleen was so sweet and treated our dogs as if they were hers. She had great communication with us the whole time sending texts and pictures. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her as our sitter again.”
“Over all great! Took great care of my dog and updated me on her well being throughout the whole night! Even made her a scarf which was also so sweet! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!”
“Daniela was a wonderful sitter! She’s so warm and friendly that my dog was instantly at ease upon meeting her. She took great care of my dog, and I appreciated how she sent regular pics and updates throughout my dog’s multiple day stay. Highly recommend!”
“Lori is cool, clutch, and kind — a total gem of a sitter! I had such an awesome experience with her caring for my two senior Frenchies, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. One of my pups has actual special needs and the other just thinks he’s — and Lori met both of them with so much patience, warmth, and attentiveness. She was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond during the hot weather to make sure they were safe, cool, comfortable, on schedule, and well exercised. From thoughtful updates to little things she did to help them feel truly at home in her space, she had everything covered. I was recommending her to people while I was still on my trip — that’s how confident I felt leaving my kids in her hands! What really stood out was the sweetness and calm presence Lori has as a human. It made the transition so much smoother for both pups (and for me). I didn’t worry for a second while I was away. I’ll absolutely be using her again for future stays — she will become our go-to sitter, and honestly, our dogs may be even more obsessed with her than we are! Thanks a mil, we are so glad we found you.”
“Mariel and Teresa did an exceptional job watching my dog Ruby for an extended stay! While she is not a runner, it was reassuring that they put an AirTag on her in the case she got lost. They were very communicative and sent both pictures and videos regularly to help me feel connected to my pup while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them because you can feel their warmth and love for animals as soon as you meet them. I will certainly reach out again when in need.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
“Such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog! Regular updates with pictures about how my dog was doing. Very insightful observations on his emotions, behavior and habits. Sloane was always accessible when I had questions or to just chat! She truly enjoyed my dog as much as I do and cared for him, not just took care of him. Sloane enforced all my "dog rules" while he was with her and returned with NO BAD HABITS! Two thumbs and four paws UP!”
“Yamy & Alfonso the absolute best pet sitters! My precious Leo was super happy, loved, cared for daily. Communication was beyond excellent and I felt super happy and relieved on my trip. Since I knew my baby Leo was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“She did a great job caring for my dog. She made her feel right at home. Would definitely recommend her, and hopefully in the future if i need a sitter again she will be available. Thank you Amanda!!!”

“I'm thrilled to leave a glowing review for Helena! She took care of our beloved cats while we were away, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Helena not only followed all instructions to the letter but also went above and beyond to ensure our fur babies were happy and comfortable. The frequent photo updates she sent melted our hearts and assured us that our cats were in excellent hands. We're incredibly grateful for her dedication and would trust her with our pets any time. Thank you, Helena, for your outstanding care!”
“Ella was so great with our cat! He can be shy and a little timid and warmed up to her immediately. Communication was awesome and we loved getting all of the cute pictures every day. Having Ella checking in while we were away gave us such peace of mind. We’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her regularly!”
“Heather was so great! Even our shy cat came out for her. Super communicative, timely and really pays attention to the details! Love having a cat lover giving our kitties some love!”
“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with my two cats. Her genuine enjoyment at playing with them, caring for them, and spending time with them was extremely comforting while I was away. She was very responsible, always on time, and very communicative. She never tried to cut corners and I felt very safe and at ease with her in my home. I plan on utilizing her services in the future for sure or even just giving the cats a special play day where they can hang out together.”
“Sarah has been wonderful. My cat is really shy but on her second visit Sarah coaxed some pets and purring out of my cat. She is a warm caring person as well as prompt, kind and conscientious. I will definitely look to have Sarah watch my cat again.”
“Isabel did a fantastic job with my cat! She did everything that I asked her to do and more, and I know that Venus thoroughly enjoyed her time with Isabel. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, thoughtful, caring, kind, and communicative, everything that I look for in a pet sitter. An easy 5 stars, and I would highly recommend Isabel for your pets!”
“Jonathan was a great sitter! He kitten sat our two 8 month old cats. He was very responsive and provided timely updates. I highly recommend for anyone looking for attentive pet care.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have two of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, playtime, and giving cats the space they need when they’re not feeling social. I’ve cared for cats with very different personalities, from affectionate lap cats to independent cats who prefer a quieter approach. My goal is always to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away.
“Jiahui was extremely communicative and thorough with her care for our two cats. She handled unexpected situations without hesitation. We will definitely trust our babies in her care again!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Adreanna is a great sitter and my kitties love her! She’s very reliable, communicative and does such a great job. I appreciate her care so much while I’m away. Definitely recommend her :)”
“Rebekah is great and super attentive to the small details! We really appreciated her wanting to know what our cats prefer and their routine :) You can trust her with your furry family members and you’ll know they’re in good hands!”

“I'm a return customer - Deanna's communication is great and my pup is so excited to see her. I can tell how much hes been loved on when I pick him up and drop him off :)”
“Arden is the best! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with my schedule. Pups were happy and seemed to warm up to her immediately. We are from a different state so we didn’t get the chance to meet beforehand but I was confident she’d be a great fit and was correct! Anytime we are in town she will be our go to ☺️”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since I was 19. I absolutely love dogs, taking them on walks (or runs if needed!), and just giving them all my love. I’m working from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m able to help out anywhere from once to probably two times a day if you want! I live in a two bedroom townhome with my 8 year old heeler. My dog is very sweet and likes to hang and walk with most dogs but can be shy when meeting a new friend or territorial (just loudly barks) over her bed and crate. She is less excited about hyper furry friends but am happy to always do a meet and greet before booking. Also happy to stay at your place so long as I can bring my dog too :)
“Daniela is awesome! Oakley loves her, and she takes great care of him. He’s super excited to get dropped off for the day. She sends updates throughout the day and I would highly recommend her!!”

I feed my dogs twice a day and will feed your pet as you like.

“Amazing! I was new to the Raliegh area and was super nervous about finding someone I trusted. I quickly realized that with Ellen, I didn’t have to worry at all. My pup loves her and she is always so responsive to my messages and updates me with pics. Definitely would recommend her to care for your pet!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Daniela has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Winston and a huge help to us! You could tell right away how much she cared - she always checked in to see what time frame worked best for us to grab him before his walks, spent time with him in the dog park to play fetch and let him run around with friends, and also walked him around the complex to ensure he got his exercise in. We loved receiving the photos after each outing. Winston came home happy and tired every time! We highly recommend using her if you live in the area and are looking for a reliable and loving dog walker.”

“Your fur baby will be in good hands with Andrea! We boarded our pup with her for the weekend and I could not be happier! She’s very experienced working with dogs, having two dogs of her own. Andrea provided plenty of updates throughout our dog’s stay and met each of his needs. Our dog came home so happy and we could not be more thankful!”
“Cooper had a great Christmas with Brittany! He was cuddled and loved on and got plenty of time playing fetch. I got the cutest pictures every day and it made me feel so relieved knowing Cooper was safe an being loved!”
“She is very good with updating me about my dog. I can tell that Yanke genuinely cares for the pets left under her care. 100% will rebook her for future.”
“Mel was great with our German Shepherd. Took great care of him, sent photos and check-ins throughout the week, and definitely kept him busier than we do! Would definitely book again!”
“Daniela was a wonderful sitter! She’s so warm and friendly that my dog was instantly at ease upon meeting her. She took great care of my dog, and I appreciated how she sent regular pics and updates throughout my dog’s multiple day stay. Highly recommend!”
“Lori is cool, clutch, and kind — a total gem of a sitter! I had such an awesome experience with her caring for my two senior Frenchies, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. One of my pups has actual special needs and the other just thinks he’s — and Lori met both of them with so much patience, warmth, and attentiveness. She was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond during the hot weather to make sure they were safe, cool, comfortable, on schedule, and well exercised. From thoughtful updates to little things she did to help them feel truly at home in her space, she had everything covered. I was recommending her to people while I was still on my trip — that’s how confident I felt leaving my kids in her hands! What really stood out was the sweetness and calm presence Lori has as a human. It made the transition so much smoother for both pups (and for me). I didn’t worry for a second while I was away. I’ll absolutely be using her again for future stays — she will become our go-to sitter, and honestly, our dogs may be even more obsessed with her than we are! Thanks a mil, we are so glad we found you.”

Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
“Yamy & Alfonso the absolute best pet sitters! My precious Leo was super happy, loved, cared for daily. Communication was beyond excellent and I felt super happy and relieved on my trip. Since I knew my baby Leo was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“She did a great job caring for my dog. She made her feel right at home. Would definitely recommend her, and hopefully in the future if i need a sitter again she will be available. Thank you Amanda!!!”
“We are new to town and were so nervous to leave our dog with a new sitter. Archie had a great weekend with Arden and we received a lot of pics which made us feel comforted while away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of (and spoiling) Remi while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, knowing she was with such a caring family helped us truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear from the updates, photos and videos that she was happy, and well cared for, and that meant so much to us. We really appreciate the time, and extra attention, you showed her. Thank you again for giving us such peace of mind — we would absolutely trust you with her again in the future.”
“Molly did a great job looking after my dog on his initial visit. He was very happy and calm when I picked him up indicating he was in a very comfortable environment while i was away. Definitely will rebook with Molly on next opportunity.”
“Kelly was awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog Finn with her. We had just recently moved to the area but still needed to take care of a lot of things out of town. Kelly was able to do a meet and greet with us beforehand and it went great. She has a huge fenced in yard for all the dogs to roam around in and play, and Finn fit in well with her and her dogs. During Finn's actual stay, he got comfortable in her home and made new friends with both the resident and visiting dogs. Kelly made sure to send me pictures and videos throughout his stay too, which I very much appreciated. It was obvious to me that Finn was well taken care of and that Kelly genuinely loves all the dogs in her care. She was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I will definitely bring Finn back to stay with her the next time there is a need. Thanks again Kelly! Finn will miss you, Miska, Ruby, and all the other dogs who came to play! :)”
“Katie was amazing!!! Took such good care of my sweet but anxious little Sophie. Sent me updates and photos everyday and I felt like I had left my girl in really safe hands. I would absolutely work with Katie again!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years. I’ve watched and cared for dogs a lot. I want your pup to enjoy their time while you’re enjoying yours. We have a fenced in yard so your dog can be safely let out. I also have a dog of my own so am already on routine for morning / evening walks. Would love to hangout and spend time with your best friend. Me and my boyfriend are pretty flexible after work on weekdays and on weekends. We can curtail your dogs time with us based on what your dog enjoys! We love finding new walking trails, hanging at the house, etc. Just let us know what your pup loves and we’ll try our best to accommodate ! Weekly routine M- F: I am at work from 730-430 Sat-Sun: pretty much at the home most of the day. Can curtail my schedule to your pups needs! *if known ahead of time might be able to get off early on Friday for drop off! Me and my boyfriend love pets at our home and want to make sure they’re as comfortable as can be. We are both pet lovers and want to make sure your pup is happy while you’re away. Again please just let us know what makes your pup happy and we’ll try our best to ensure your dog has a great time while you’re away !
“Capri had great communication and was very friendly. She watched our pup for over a week and was flexible when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Dyvonne took such great care of my Sadie girl! I was able to book her last min after another sitter canceled on me last minute! She communicated and sent pics/videos and Sadie was happy and exhausted when she came home :) she loved running around in the yard which she doesn’t have at home!! Thanks again, Dyvonne!”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter for our Phoebe. Her home is a great setup for dogs. She communicated regularly with updates and pictures, and was very reassuring about our dog’s adjustment to her environment. Phoebe seemed happy and relaxed in her care.”
“My beagle, Aly, had a wonderful time with Michaela and her sweet doggie, Winnie. I received at least a couple of pics every day and a little note on how my girl was doing. I will be using Michaela again in the near future.”
