Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sanford

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sanford
“Our pup loved his stay. We received lots of photos and updates. As our boy has some bad storm anxiety this put us at ease that he was receiving all the care and attention he would have if we were right there. The fenced in back yard provided lots of room for him to run and play while on his vist. I can not recommend Ellison & Lisa enough.”

“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”

“This was my first time using Rover and seperating from my 2 mini goldendoodles for more than a few hours. Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”

“Alex and his family are so wonderful!! They took amazing care of our pup, had great communication, and were incredibly easy to work with. Our pup had a great time, and we are so thankful for Alex! We will absolutely be booking again.”

“She is awesome! When our trip got extended by delayed planes home, she was more than accommodating with us. We had near daily photo updates of our doggy, and she was very communicative and informative and flexible. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy babysitter!”


“I’m so glad I found Andrea for our dog! Andrea definitely understands dogs and I knew right away she would appreciate Gus and his specialness. He seemed to have a wonderful time and enjoyed the yard a lot. I will absolutely book here again!”
“In short, Lindy is amazing. The care she provided for my furbaby exceeded my expectations. From our thoughtfully planned meet and greet to gathering information regarding his feeding schedules, habits, personality… if your pup needs activity - look no further, Lindy’s Aussies are just what the doctor ordered! Sweet and playful pups. My boy Brut will definitely be back! 10/10 stars!!”

About: Is your dog giving you the ultimate guilt trip as you grab your keys to leave? You know, the one that says, How dare you leave without me? I get it. I’ve grown up with and cared for dogs my whole life! From German Shepards to Chihuahuas they’re all special in their own way and your pups deserve to be cared for just as well when they’re with me as they are with you! So don’t worry, I’ve got this. While you’re out living your best life and working hard, me and your four-legged family member will be throwing our own little party. Walks, belly rubs, zoomies, you name it. Need support? Send me a message. Your pup and I have plans! I’m currently home full time during the week, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. My schedule can vary with appointments and commitments, but I’m usually able to make things work, especially when we plan ahead! Safety and trust are very important to me and I want to ensure you feel just as comfortable as your pet does while we hang out together! I’m willing to work with your and your pet’s needs.

“Elizabeth was so sweet and attentive with Magnum! He had an amazing time at her house, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Great sitter, sent frequent updates, bathed our dog when she got muddy without us needing to ask. Highly professional and friendly. We will definitely utilize his services again”

“Jackie was so amazing!! She sent so many photos of our pups and even brushed them, gave them a bath and sent them home with some treats and bandanas. She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We will 100% be booking with her again!!”

“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!”

“Great sitter! Constantly gave us updates and pictures of our dog. If she had a question regarding food or concern, she reached out and made sure to ask and let us know the situation. Would rebook with her in the future.”

“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”

“I am very pleased with Christina's service. She's beyond thorough and super attentive. Her dog Myles is so cute and friendly. I was nervous to leave my pup as he's only stayed 1 other place, but that person was booked. Christina graciously fit us in for a meet and greet and agreed to book with us quickly. She helped calm my anxiousness and sent me a picture to reassure me as well. The best part was how happy he seemed when I picked him up. He was like, "look mom I haz a new friend" and proceeded to play with Myles. Another bonus, my pup smelled amazing when I picked him up, which never usually happens when you board your pup. I 100% recommend Christina and will rebook with her for sure. ?”

“Sarah took wonderful care of my dog and was a delightful person to work with. She is flexible in case something comes up like a delayed flight or last minute changes in plans. She sent me pictures and texts letting me know my labradoodle was healthy and happy. I felt comfortable leaving my pet in her care and highly recommend her boarding services. Thank you Sarah!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Kordula and her family! She was very flexible with our changing travel plans due to weather and sent daily photos and updates. Thank you!”

“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!”

“Thank you very much for taking a very good care of Angus. I also appreciate all your updates and pictures that you sent to me while he was staying at your place!!:) It's so comforting to know that I know someone who will take care of our furr baby like their own!!”

“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”

“Natasha is a great sitter. She took great care of our cats when we were out of town for the holidays. We were nervous about using a new sitter but Natasha was willing to first have a virtual meet and greet and then stopped by to meet the cats and get aquatinted with our home. She was a great communicator. She made sure the cats were fed, to played with them and scooped their litter boxes. She also took care of of details like wiping cat eye goop and leaving the place very tidy. Natasha is a great sitter.”


“Hillary did a wonderful job with our two kitties while we were away! She is a great communicator, and our cats seemed very comfortable with her - and they are usually quite shy. Highly recommend!”

They’ve got a new fan club with us!!”

She took amazing care of my four cats and my dwarf rabbit, ensuring they were loved and well looked after during my vacation. Jesse went above and beyond by also looking after my home. She watered my plants, collected the mail, and made sure to clean up after the kitties, which was such a relief for me. Communication was a breeze; she responded promptly to all my messages and kept me updated with adorable photos of my pets, which really eased my mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking her for all my future pet-sitting needs. She is a true gem!”

“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral. It was such a comfort to know that Lily was in loving, capable hands during such a difficult time. Evelin went above and beyond to make sure Lily was happy and comfortable, sending us updates that gave us peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Evelin, for being there for us and for treating Lily like one of your own. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”

I will most definitely be using her again! She kept me up to date with pictures and everything I can’t thank you enough!!”
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”

About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”

“I can't recommend Jessica enough! From the beginning, she showed genuine care and professionalism by asking all the right questions to really understand my dog's needs, routine, and personality. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time she comes over. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she works with. Reliable and great with communication—she’s the best!”

About: I've always been a part of a dog and cat family. From the overly excited puppy to the scared-of-everything cat to the adventurous elderly fur baby, I am excited to meet your very own fur baby and learn what makes them special. My own pets have a few needs of their own. I’ve trained my own dogs when they were puppies, administered meds (orally and with food mixing) and have sat for senior dogs. For Sanford pets, I am able to travel for potty breaks in the later afternoons on weekdays. Regarding overnight visits, I am able to accommodate late night and early morning visits. I'm ready to treat your fur babies to a special staycation while you vacation! My yard is partially fenced, and I have a houseful of my own so I am unable to board pet clients due to a sensitive older cat. Not all paws are on board, unfortunately. For any service, including drop in visits, I require meet and greets prior to the actual service. To best accommodate first time requests, let’s plan to meet within a week of the first visit. What’s one of your favorite memories with your pet? Does your dog have a best bud they like to run around with?

From German Shepards to Chihuahuas they’re all special in their own way and your pups deserve to be cared for just as well when they’re with me as they are with you! So don’t worry, I’ve got this. While you’re out living your best life and working hard, me and your four-legged family member will be throwing our own little party. Walks, belly rubs, zoomies, you name it. Need support? Send me a message. Your pup and I have plans! I’m currently home full time during the week, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. My schedule can vary with appointments and commitments, but I’m usually able to make things work, especially when we plan ahead! Safety and trust are very important to me and I want to ensure you feel just as comfortable as your pet does while we hang out together! I’m willing to work with your and your pet’s needs.

“Elizabeth was so sweet and attentive with Magnum! He had an amazing time at her house, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Great sitter, sent frequent updates, bathed our dog when she got muddy without us needing to ask. Highly professional and friendly. We will definitely utilize his services again”

“Jackie was so amazing!! She sent so many photos of our pups and even brushed them, gave them a bath and sent them home with some treats and bandanas. She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We will 100% be booking with her again!!”

“Great sitter! Constantly gave us updates and pictures of our dog. If she had a question regarding food or concern, she reached out and made sure to ask and let us know the situation. Would rebook with her in the future.”

“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”

“I am very pleased with Christina's service. She's beyond thorough and super attentive. Her dog Myles is so cute and friendly. I was nervous to leave my pup as he's only stayed 1 other place, but that person was booked. Christina graciously fit us in for a meet and greet and agreed to book with us quickly. She helped calm my anxiousness and sent me a picture to reassure me as well. The best part was how happy he seemed when I picked him up. He was like, "look mom I haz a new friend" and proceeded to play with Myles. Another bonus, my pup smelled amazing when I picked him up, which never usually happens when you board your pup. I 100% recommend Christina and will rebook with her for sure. ?”

“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!”

“Kristen and her family took wonderful care of our Dashi! She’s very responsive and provides frequent photos. Dashi was happy to see us, but we could tell that she was well cared for and content. She had a great time playing with Bentley and other friends!”

“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”

“Alison was amazing with Toby, he came home just as happy as when he left! I would leave him with her again in a heartbeat and am already planning on using her for our next trip.”

“Jayda was amazing with my dog and kept me updated daily with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend!”

“Haley was great! She communicated with us during our whole trip and sent us plenty of pictures. She has a large fenced in yard that my dogs loved and I really enjoyed that my dogs were able to socialize with Haleys dogs and others she day cares. I would recommend Haley to anyone!”

About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.
“Wow, what a great experience! Both Cassandra and her husband are great with dogs, their kids are great with dogs, and their dogs are great with dogs! I have a two-year-old lab who is still very much a puppy, and this wonderful family was able to handle her beautifully. They made her part of the family in every way. I'm so pleased.”
