“Lilli provided several picture updates and videos of our Jojo. She was a wonderful doggy host and we thank her for her sweetness and kindness with our pup while we were away!”
“My dog has high anxiety with people he doesn’t know. I’ve tried a lot of options for his care without much peace of mind. I decided to try in-home care with Heather. She sent photos and videos everyday my boy looked so happy! She was organized and a great communicator. I trust her. Finally, peace of mind!”
“Victor was amazing with our dog, Summer! Not only did he stand daily photos of her looking happy, but he was extremely flexible with drop off and pick up. Even when we hit stranded out of the country fur two extra days, Victor was incredibly accommodating and we never had ti worry about our Summer. His home is clean and spacious, with a perfect fenced outdoor area, and he obviously loves pets. I would 100% book with Victor again and highly recommend him without hesitation.”

“Lucia took the absolute best care of my dog! I received daily photos and videos and I could tell that my dog was having a great time with her. I could not recommend her enough!”
“Cooper and Chase had a very good second stay with Nathan and Courtney. They were giving a lot of attention and spent time in the fenced backyard. A much better alternative to a kennel. We were sent pictures every day to keep up with how our boys were doing.”
“Melanie is an incredible dog sitter. She worked with me on short notice, is very welcoming, and made me feel that my dog will receive the love and care I wanted. Communicates often so you know that your dog is well”

“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”

About: I've had experience in handling and providing care for cats of all temperaments from my own to working with boarding cats at kennels and the SPCA. I am comfortable adminstering medicine through food or using a pill pusher or pill pockets. Growing up one of my cats had issues with her kidneys and I administered her pills with a pusher as it was the only way to reliability know she received her life saving medicine every morning. I have a young cat of my own who is a bit on the spunky side but I love him reguardless of all the sass! At the SPCA I made sure all our cats in the facility were fed and had a clean kennel. I enjoyed free time providing enrichment through play or for the more shy cats sitting quietly and allowing them to come and go as they pleased.
About: My wife and I have almost 40 years of combined experience caring for and training pets. Our passion is providing excellent care for your pets Our life revolves around pet care and providing a safe environment for your babies so that you will feel confident they are cared for while your away With two senior cats and a senior dog in our home your pet will come to a calm stable place. We have a large fenced in yard for your baby to play in our quiet country home.
About: I was raised with a variety of cats and dogs for 25 years, volunteered in a shelter while I was in school, and helped with herpetological demonstrations and assisted with their care. The last few years I have had further opportunity to care for coworkers' pets as I house sat for fellow nurses traveling . I have sat for everything from dogs and cats to lizards, snakes, fish, rabbits, even horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I work as a nurse full time which allows me a relatively flexible schedule for drop in visits over the weekdays and and stretches of time off for longer stays. Flexibility is my motto; I am able to drop by for walks or let them out into the yard if there's fencing, all depending on your preference. I can free feed or work off a schedule, ect. I have worked with everyone from those asking me to just stop by to check the house and take in mail, no pets involved, to another asking for overnight stays with an anxious rescue on a feeding regimen and medication requirements.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love. My husband travels for work so we currently live in a large fifth wheel RV. We have one dog a 6yr old Great Dane. Also one calico cat about 8 months old .
About: I have always loved all kinds of pets, and cats are no exception. I absolutely love listening to them motor away while I pet them, or just appreciate their presence as they do their own thing from a distance! I have experience caring for a few senior cats, including ones with hip dysplasia or kidney issues that require oral medication.
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals since I was 5. I grew up on a farm with all animals of all sizes and personalities, 15 of which were dogs that we rescued and loved. My responsibilities of feeding, grooming, training, keeping them healthy, and loving them were a pleasure and never a chore. I’m an EMT with a total of 4 days off every week, including weekends- meaning plenty of time to help take care of your fur-babies. I will always treat your home and fur-babies with care and respect. They will have my undivided attention and all needs will be met with love.
About: Since adopting cats I’ve loved every moment of loving and caring for my little fur babies. I don’t have as much experience with cats as I do dogs but I will make sure your cats are as cared for as my dog clients. I’m excited to meet new feline friends!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rockingham
“We dropped our GSDs Zoe and Piper off with Jim for the day and they came back happy and exhausted! They had an opportunity to make new friends and socialize with Jim’s Labs, get some outdoor play and exploration time and came back safe and sound. Thank you, Jim. Looking forward to our next booking!”
“Alexander was amazing with our pup Blue. He was very communicative, nice, and welcoming to our boy. He sent photos and updates throughout the day. I felt really safe leaving our boy in his csre Blue had a really great time, and came home tired from all the fun he had. We will definitely use his services again!”
“Charlotte had a great day with Lilli and her family! We are thinking she will be in the rotation now for my Charli girl. So many cute pics and I could tell she was loved. I was nervous since it was a first day. But Charlotte was tired when she came home so she must have been played and cuddled. We look forward to spending the week with Lilli and her pups!”
“Jessica took great care of my boy Boots, and kept me updated everyday along with pictures. They have a huge fence yard where the dog can run and play, it is the perfect atmosphere. She will definitely be Boot's caretaker next time I go out of town”
“Shea is awesome! Messaged me throughout the day with updates on Pepper (doggy day care at sitter's house). Our dogs got along really well and played hard! Definitely rebooking and recommend.”

About: I’ve had experience dog sitting my sisters dogs since I was 17 years old, and I’m currently 28. I have also been responsible for taking care of my cousins three cats, and my aunts two indoor cars, and several outside animals consisting of cats, dogs, and chickens. I’ve also owned a Labrador, and currently own a calico cat. I also volunteer to host dogs on the weekends that are currently held at Saving Grace. I currently have a full time job, but am free in afternoons and on weekends. Currently on Thursdays and Fridays I am working from home. When taking care of animals, i make sure they have clean fresh water. I also make sure I give them the amount of food their owner has requested. Once they’re feed and have fresh water, I spend time with them and give them plenty of head scratches and belly rubs!
About: Hi, I’m Izzy – an educator and lifelong animal lover! I grew up with cats and dogs and now have two sweet, friendly pups of my own. I’ve worked at a dog grooming salon, cared for pets over school breaks, and love providing reliable care when pet parents need a helping hand. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a mellow homebody, I’ll adapt to their needs and give them all the love they deserve. I’m happy to provide references from other families I've worked with! I look forward to connecting soon. I work remotely as a teacher so I am available during the week and on weekends! I am happy to come to your house for drop in visits or walks. I also do offer doggy daycare in my home for one dog a day. I have two dogs of my own who love to have visitors. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs both in my home and in their own familiar space. I always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make sure they feel secure. I have two friendly, crate-trained dogs who love making new friends, and my home is pet-safe and well set up for boarding or drop-ins. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so you feel totally at ease!
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.
About: I’ve owned up to 4 dogs at a time. Having that many dogs in my house together, I’ve learned how to meet their needs and keep them happy. I’d put two at a time on one leash which made walking them easier. I’ve always been the “go to” person when my family or friends needed a pet sitter. My passion has always been children and animals. I was a teacher’s aide for the past 27 years. Now that I’m retired I’d like to switch gears and spend time taking care of dogs. My home is dog friendly. I have a fenced in yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. I also have two sweet dogs of my own that are friendly and playful.
About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I have worked with a wide variety of dog and cat breeds, personalities, ages, and needs. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and have experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. As a dedicated pet lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing reliable, compassionate care and giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands. As a stay-at-home mom of three children, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the day. Being home most of the time means pets receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your pets to exercise and use the bathroom in a clean manicured area. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and cuddle time. My daily routine is built around caring for others, and I extend that same level of patience, responsibility, and attention to every pet in my care. Whether you need daytime visits, overnight care, or regular check-ins while you’re away, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family.
“Kristina was absolutely AMAZING with our sweet Ozzy girl ❤️ She kept us updated and sent tons of pictures and videos of Ozzy & her beautiful pup Murphy hanging out and playing together! Would recommend her to anyone who wants the best of the best for their fur baby❤️”
“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
“I really enjoyed working with Jennifer in setting up Marvel's appointment. She was flexible with my schedule and very responsive to all of my questions! Marvel was well taken care of during her stay and enjoyed the company of Jennifer's small dog. Jenn made sure Marvel felt at home and we will make sure to be back!”
About: I survived teaching first and second grade for over 35 years so I can do anything! I am a new grandma and I’m so excited! I have two sweet pups who love having news friends come over and play. I am very flexible and I am very willing to get the work done with your pup or puppies! I will do whatever it takes to make it work. Although I don’t have a fenced in yard I will make sure they are on a leash if needed when going out to do their business. I love to walk multiple times a day so you can be assured they will get lots of attention and exercise.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Rockingham
About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs all my life. I currently have a boykin spaniel named Colt. I dog sat through college and even worked in vet med. I work full time, but have a flexible schedule most days. I’m able to drop in before 8am, during my lunch, and after work. Weekends tend to be more open. I am able to take long or short walks, drop by just to take your dog out for a bathroom break, play, feed, administer medications.
About: My husband and I have been fostering dogs since February 2023. Sadly (or happily, rather), several of those fosters became foster fails. We went from having 1 dog and 2 cats to 4 dogs and 4 cats…but we wouldn’t have it any other way :) Our 4 cats are all extremely friendly and loving. Charlie is 6, Harley is 3, and Sweet Potato and Clementine just turned 1. Every single one of our dogs is a rescue. Molly is 9 months, Banjo is 7 months, Mia is 10-12 years, and Georgie is 8-10 years. Molly & Banjo were rescued with Paws of the Pines Rescue based in Southern Pines, NC. Mia & Georgie are a sister duo that we found dumped in the woods, and are the best senior pups we’ve ever encountered. My husband and I care deeply for all animals and do this because we love it, not for the money. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re in need of care. We will do what we can to serve you! I (Megan) wake up at 4:30 daily to let the dogs out, walk them, and feed them breakfast. I leave for work at 6. Jacob then wakes up and cares for the dogs until he leaves for work at 7. The dogs are crated until we come home. After work they engage in another walk, training, puzzles, you name it, and are highly active until bedtime around 9. The cats have an automatic feeder and water fountain. They love lounging around in the living room if the dogs are calm. All 4 cats are friendly and curious. Harley hangs around outside most of the day and the orange brothers are in and out as they please. Charlie is mostly indoors with the occasional peek at the outside world. Pets that enter my home will remain in the main living area with the puppies. The cats in my home are free to roam through the whole house. Dogs will need to be crate trained and okay other pets. I will accommodate their meals according to the owners’ requests. We are an active family, so walks are common!

I work M-Th but I work from home so I am always around and available if needed, I can step away easily if it’s needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dogs do pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs even some reptiles all my life! I’m great with kittens puppies and even senior pets that need a little extra care. I have experience with administering medications im super patient with all pets even the ones that need a little extra attention and love! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule. As a mom, I’m already in a routine centered around consistency, attentiveness, and caregiving, which translates perfectly into caring for pets. This allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feedings, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including early mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings, while ensuring each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if anything seems off. I’m experienced with administering medications, handling pets safely, and caring for animals with special needs. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine and preferences so I can provide consistent, low-stress care in your home. I’m very mindful about securing doors, using proper leash handling, and creating a calm, safe environment at all times. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same level of care, patience, and attention I give my own.
About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.
About: I have taken care of dogs and other kinds of pets since I was 14. My family and friends rely on me to come check in, walk, and play with their pets.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.

About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love.

About: I recently moved here but grew up on a large agriculture/cattle farm in Wa state. I’ve shown all animals growing up, and competed in rodeo throughout most my high school years. I have had many dogs and many cats throughout my life as well as rescued more animals than I can count. I have a masters in mental health counseling but worked alongside a veterinarian throughout college. I currently have 6 dogs and 4 cats of my own, which most of them were strays I found. I truly believe animals are our children and they deserve to be loved and cared for as such. I am detail oriented and can ensure your baby(s) will be well taken care of. I currently am not working, so I am home full time. I recently got engaged, and my fiancé is military so I have lots of free time to help with whatever it is you may need! I have personally never crated my animals, but if it is what you prefer I will do that. We do have a very large yard with no neighbors, but I don’t even let my own dogs run around unsupervised. I did build a small fenced area in the back that attaches to a dogggy door in the house just so they can go out in emergency situations. My animals are allowed on furniture and of course sleep in the bed to get all the cuddles. I’ve been lucky to never have issues with chewing or accidents but I know all animals are different. I can truly accommodate to anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of.

Whether it’s managing multiple pets or supporting animals with anxiety or medical needs, I’m dedicated to creating a calm, safe environment where every pet feels at home. I'm available for pretty much anything need. My schedule is very flexible. Throughout the day, I pay close attention to their moods, making time for play, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them when they need comfort. Their well-being is a priority in everything I do, and caring for them brings structure, peace, and purpose to my day. When I care for other people’s animals, I treat them like they’re my own—with patience, gentleness, and full attention. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or just sitting with a shy pet to help them feel calm, I make sure every moment is rooted in trust and love. I know how much animals mean to their families, and I do everything I can to give them peace of mind.
About: My name is Brooke and I am a full time MLT student at Sandhills. I have been dog sitting on the side as well as babysitting to get me the money I need through college. I love all animals and would love to help in any way needed. I have had multiple dogs and cats growing up so I am used to animals. I do overnight stays as well as just checking in daily on animals. My school hours at 9am -12pm Tuesday through Thursday so my schedule is very flexible. I do well with all sizes of dogs and all breeds. I also love cats and other animals that a family might have. I hope I can be of use! Thanks very much!

“My dog has high anxiety with people he doesn’t know. I’ve tried a lot of options for his care without much peace of mind. I decided to try in-home care with Heather. She sent photos and videos everyday my boy looked so happy! She was organized and a great communicator. I trust her. Finally, peace of mind!”
“She was available last minute for us in a family emergency. First time for Harvey to stay with her and he was very comfortable and happy when we returned to pick him up.”
“Alexander was amazing with our dog, Tidus! We were gone for a little over 2 weeks, and we got updates about our fur baby the whole time including pictures! Honestly wouldn't want anyone else to sit for our boy!”
“Cooper and Chase had a very good second stay with Nathan and Courtney. They were giving a lot of attention and spent time in the fenced backyard. A much better alternative to a kennel. We were sent pictures every day to keep up with how our boys were doing.”

About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away! My wife and I recently made the move to Southern Pines from Florida and have been enjoying getting to know the community—especially its many pets! I believe good pet care starts with clear expectations, happy routines, and making sure every member of the household—furred, feathered, scaled, or leafy—feels safe and well looked after. I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!
About: I have loved animals my entire life, always love meeting and caring for new animals and I take pride in making the animals around me feel loved, safe, and cared for while their owners are away I currently am working roughly 3 hours daily for 3 days a week and would love taking in animals on a day to day basis I live near a road that doesn’t typically have traffic (major side road in the country), but even still I always make sure to take dogs out on leashes to ensure their safety. I do have cats but they can be put away to ensure your animal doesn’t feel threatened or scared. I have a safe space with plenty of quiet for your animal to be crated if they are feeling stressed or just need some alone time
