“Heather was amazing! She watched Barley during our wedding weekend, and she sent us lots of photos and updates so we knew we didn’t have to worry about him during an important weekend.”
About: As a first responder, I’m very comfortable around K9s and understand the importance of patience, consistency, awareness, and responsible handling around animals. I also have two dogs of my own, Millie, a Vizsla, and Aksel, a German Shepherd. I’ve had Millie her entire life, and Aksel came to us as a rescue about a year ago. When we first brought Aksel home, he needed extra patience, structure, and training, and we’ve worked with him consistently to help him become the happy, well-tempered dog he is today. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, working with them, and helping them learn. I work as a first responder, so my schedule is different from a traditional Monday–Friday schedule. I have set days off that allow me to offer pet care, and I primarily schedule boarding on my days off so I can give your pet plenty of attention and supervision. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits when my schedule allows. I keep my availability updated and am happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs fit my schedule. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for exercise and play. I have two dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a German Shepherd, who are part of my household. Before boarding, I’m happy to discuss your dog’s temperament, comfort level, and how they do around other dogs. I can use indoor movable pet gates/kennels to safely separate dogs when needed, whether for feeding, rest, or simply giving them their own space. I always prioritize safety and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs.
“Thank you for the amazing care you provided for our new puppy!! We had to leave her for two weeks, and felt comfortable doing so. The pictures and messages were very appreciated. We will be back!”
“This was my fur baby’s first time away from our family. I couldn’t be more confident in leaving him with Erica. I got great vibes from the family and felt that his surroundings were safe. Great communication and pix. I have no doubt that my baby was given plenty of love in my absence. I would definitely recommend Erica and will be a return customer.”
“Andrea is the BEST! She took such good care of Sophie, cooking her chicken and rice during her few days of illness. Because of Andrea's excellent care I didn't have to cut my vacation short. When I picked her up she was happy, healthy, clean and smelled so good! Andrea even gave her a bath when she soiled on herself.”
About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!
“Cheyanne took great care of my 11 year old lab. Sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away missing my baby. Definitely helped ease my mind and she always returned my messages within an hour. I could tell my dog was happy to be there and she loved playing with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend Cheyanne”
“Jessica and her family were very pleasant to work with. Their house and approach felt responsible and safe for my dogs. I plan to use them again when I am in the area. Thanks!”
“Karyssa & Michael provided a 10/10 stay for Meijor! I needed someone on a last minute notice to watch him and they were there for me. Karyssa was very nice and accommodating! She gave Meijor plenty of attention and play time throughout the day. What I appreciated most Maryssa was the constant pictures and updates throughout Meijor’s stay. Whether it was after a walk or play time she kept us up to date on how he was doing. She really treated Meijor like her own! Will 100% be using them again and would recommend them to anyone!”
“We love Yana 💛 not only did she watch our pup with special needs, she provided some insight into care for him. Things that have made a difference for him already. So her care goes beyond pet sitting and is greatly appreciated! We felt so at ease with Koda in her care and he came back in such sweet spirits. Grateful to have found a great sitter for our boy!”
“SUPER family! GREAT Sitter! I could not have been more confident in leaving my two precious boys (Both Shih Tzus) with Nina and her family. She made time to meet us beforehand, was always responsive to my inquiries. I knew and know I have found the perfect home for my boys to stay when I need to be away.”
“Kate loves spending time with Samantha and Tim. They were so accommodating with our (very) last minute request for boarding. She was very relaxed in the car ride home and seemed as happy as could be!”
“Talia and Austin are the kindest people around and our dog is so well taken care of. Our dog has so much fun while she is at their house and returns exhausted which is all that we can ask for!”
“Working with Megan was great overall. My dog had her own room and access to the backyard. Stella seem to get along well with Megan and her dogs. I was sent regular updates and lots of photos. I felt very reassured. The seller was getting the best treatment available. Thanks, Megan. Will be back for more.”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of my cat over the Christmas holidays. We came home to happy and healthy kitty! Her prices are really fair and she was very flexible and willing to come over the holidays-highly recommend!”
“Amanda is terrific! We had car trouble on our trip and needed to add an extra day of fur baby care at the last minute. Easy peasy, it's nice to know we can count on her even when our plans go off the rails.”
About: I have a black cat of my own, Binx, who I’ve had for about three years. I’m comfortable with the everyday care cats need, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that cats have very individual personalities—some are social and playful while others need more time and space to warm up. I’m patient and respectful of their boundaries and would make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while in my care.
“CJ was fabulous! She made friends with Gucci, who is a really shy guy. Fed, watered, played, and loved on him. She sent great pictures, and brought in the mail. Soooo thoughtful! I am scheduling her for our trip to England in November. Thank you, thank you, thank you, CJ! You made our trip, worry free!❤️”
About: I have experience working as a kennel technician at a local animal hospital and have been caring for my pets for several years. I have also taken classes on pet care and how to work with different types of animals. I am currently working a part-time job, but i am able to accommodate what is best for you. Since I have a very flexible schedule I am open for just about everything! I have experience with kenneling dogs while also being on a timely feeding time and hourly walks, and play times. I care for my pets by crating and having scheduled feeding times along with plenty of fenced-in outdoor time!
About: I’ve also had the joy of owning a cat in the past, and although they’ve since passed, caring for them gave me a deep understanding of how unique and independent cats can be. I now absolutely love to not only have another one, but two! I’m happy to give that same love and attention to yours. I’ve cared for friends’ cats over the years and am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and respecting a cat’s boundaries. I understand that some cats are social and playful, while others prefer quiet companionship, and I’m happy to follow their lead. Because I’m a pet owner myself, I know how important consistency and communication are. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether your cat loves interactive play or just wants a calm presence in the home, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and cared for. I have also administered different types of medications to both cats and kittens before. My own two need daily oral and eye medication, as well as a medicated wipe, so I am used to a range of different medications. I’d be more than happy to make sure your baby is well taken care of while you’re away!
“Heather is a great sitter that cares about every detail! We had no concerns or worries leaving our Oakley (cat) in Heather’s care! She kept us informed on every visit, including pictures! She also has a great personality and loves what she does! Highly recommend!!”
“Katy was such a cat whisperer with our super shy rescue cat! Spent time bringing her out of her shell and giving her a balance of space and attention when she needed it. We could tell by all the photo and video and verbal updates that our girl was well taken care of. It eased our own anxiety’s as well. Will be calling Katy back everytime!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, all with different temperaments. I know that cats are each their own special being and sometimes their way of getting attention is to just hang out in the same room with you. I have been in school to train as a vet tech, due to finances I could not finish. However, I do know more about interacting with cats than the average person due to finances.

I will provide walks and play time everyday, and if you need baths or anything extra I will. I’m home 90% of the time so your fur baby will never really be alone.

I was very satisfied with everything, my pup had two days of “day care” when my work schedule was extremely busy & my pup was so excited to go back the next day and see her family. Thank you again Morgan!”
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
About: I’ve been a vet tech for about 6 years. Before that, I managed a pet boarding facility. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been caring for dogs and cats all my life. I’m a toddler mom, and I currently work as an emergency vet tech so I’m great at keeping calm in stressful situations. I’m a stay-at-home mom during the week, and then I work on Saturdays, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I will have to bring my 3-yr-old with me to any visits on a weekday if it’s before 4 pm, but he is very gentle and knows to go slow around animals. When I’m caring for a pet, I always play with them and make sure they get quality interaction with me. I also check over their physical appearance to make sure they’re healthy and safe. As a vet tech, I’m very concerned with pets’ health and wellbeing.

My responsibilities have included everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and special diets.

About: Hi! I’m Nia, a lifelong dog lover based in the 27030 area. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own: Indi, my 2.5-year-old Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix, and Bear, my 6-month-old Poodle. Because I travel myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. That’s why I focus on communication, safety, and making sure both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. I’m experienced with puppies, small breeds, high-energy dogs, and slower senior dogs. Whether your pup prefers a relaxed stroll, a jog to burn off energy, or a day at the park, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I can work on keeping up with basic commands and training but I am not certified in any dog training. If you’re interested, I can also safely introduce your dog to Indi and Bear for socialization, only with your permission and after making sure it’s a good fit. Safety is always my priority. I carefully check harnesses and leashes, follow all feeding and water instructions, and stick closely to your dog’s normal routine. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very open availability, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings and I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs of my own, Indi and Bear. I plan my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and outdoor time, so adding additional pets into my routine feels natural and easy. I have open availability, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because I’m used to a consistent routine, I’m dependable and organized when it comes to providing reliable care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and preferred walking routes. I double-check harnesses, collars, and leashes before walks and monitor pets closely at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment with plenty of supervised playtime and rest. Any introductions to my dogs are done slowly and only with owner permission. I pay close attention to body language and energy levels to ensure every pet feels safe and secure. However, most of the time I will provide sitting in clients home and dog walking outside.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, my own and others included, since as far back as 8 years old. I've always enjoyed taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and it makes my heart happy to see my kids following in those footsteps as they get older as well. I have a husband of almost 11 years, which will occasionally be helping with some of the pet care, and we have 2 kids (ages 4 and 9) so you know your animals will get plenty of cuddles and play time. We all enjoy and love your pets like our own! Our pets of our own include chickens which are all kept inside of a fenced in area. We live on roughly 3 acres of "unfenced land" at the end of our paved neighborhood road. Included in that are a few scenic trails through the woods on our property, so that means we have plenty of space for your fur babies to have some play time outside in the yard, and walks through the neighborhood/trails for exploration, exercise, and relaxation throughout the day! We are here with open arms ready to care for your sweet babies and willing to learn about each of their individual needs to make sure we make them and you feel comfortable and part of our family in the process! From boarding overnight, to drop-in visits when you can't be there, to random play visits/walking your fur babies, or even meeting/helping you with multiple animals' vet visits..... No matter the job or type of animal, give us a try and you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to hear from you and to make you part of the fam! I am a part time teacher/part time stay-at-home mom/wife so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve for whatever the job you may need for them! Your pets are housed inside our home as one of the family. We have plenty of crates inside our house for individual sleeping spaces. We also use baby gates throughout the house to separate areas of our house so animals can be separated in their own spaces if and when needed. I always communicate quickly with clients and make sure to send lots of pictures to assure them of their pets experience and exceptional care with my family and I. I also provide each animal with an apple air tag just as a safety precaution when they are in my care for mine and my clients peace of mind.
About: I have always had dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, ect. Also, I'm an EMT so I can handle any medical emergency that may arise as well! I just work part time, 3 nights per week, so my schedule is very open to love and care for your pets along with mine! I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced porch. My 2 fur babies are free roamers inside and are super friendly and loving!
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. From a young child to current day, I've always had a pet in my life. I have cared for outdoor dogs, indoor dogs, fish, and snakes. I've also cared for and been around most ages of dogs from 8 week puppies to elderly companions. I love spending time outdoors with them, sunshine, snow, pools, treks, mud, or wherever. My two kids are in school so I'll have plenty of time for your pet. My kids are comfortable around pets so even after school, I'm still available for care. I'm also available to board any day or night of the week. I'm close to parks and Pilot Mountain trails. I have plenty of backyard space for you pet to run and even a ramp entrance for pets with mobile difficulties. I have a backyard space for healthy walking/running. I have plenty of toys to keep your pet active and cushions for relaxing. I have a crate available if needed. I also have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. My dog is allowed on all the furniture in the house and yours is welcome to join in for cuddles.
“Taylor is a fantastic dog walker! We have utilized her services many times over the last 3 months, since I’ve had to be away helping family through a medical emergency a lot this winter. She is very flexible, communication is great, sends his walk pictures and routes daily, and he clearly adores her. We highly recommend her and will definitely continue booking her for dog walking in the future!”

The other field is used mainly for disc dog practice and competitions, but is also great for general play. We have a stream running along the back of our property. We have 2 dog runs outside for outdoor relaxation when we are not doing activities. I have dog training certifications with Karen Pryor Academy and Animal Behavior College. I prefer to interact with dogs using positive reinforcement, treats and praise. I have been involved with dog sport training since 2008.

I have experience house-sitting, feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends. Growing up with pets has taught me that every animal is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm a graduate student completing my degree online while working about 30 hours a week in my internship. Outside of work and school, I spend most of my time with my family, my boyfriend, and at church on Wednesdays and Sundays. My schedule is generally flexible, and I do my best to accommodate pet owners' needs whenever possible. I often spend time accompanying the dogs with snuggles and a couple of hours of playtime a day. I provide food and water for the animals as instructed by the owner as each owner has a different approach. I often take dogs on one or two walks a day because exercise is extremely beneficial for pets.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I’ve trained and walked my dog from when he was a puppy to now. He’s a little older now, but I still try to walk him and take him in adventures with me I have a lot of free time and can care for your animal if your planning your next trip, vacation or just need a little alone time My dog is very friendly and my cat can be standoffish but quickly adapts. My house is far from the town and wonderful little place for your animals to stay.
About: 50 years of experience, grew up on a dairy farm, currently have three horses, twenty three chickens and three dogs on a ranch style farm. I am semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as well as my own, I am pretty flexible all week as well as weekends. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own, animals that live with us are considered family and family always comes first.

About: My name is Kathy and I have cared for pets my entire life. As a child I walked the neighborhood pets until I had my own. Every opportunity I had I was around animals. As an adult I have managed boarding kennels, worked at a veterinary hospital, and have my own pet sitting company, In Your Absence. I am a recent graduate with a master of science in animal science.

“Heather was amazing! She watched Barley during our wedding weekend, and she sent us lots of photos and updates so we knew we didn’t have to worry about him during an important weekend.”
About: As a first responder, I’m very comfortable around K9s and understand the importance of patience, consistency, awareness, and responsible handling around animals. I also have two dogs of my own, Millie, a Vizsla, and Aksel, a German Shepherd. I’ve had Millie her entire life, and Aksel came to us as a rescue about a year ago. When we first brought Aksel home, he needed extra patience, structure, and training, and we’ve worked with him consistently to help him become the happy, well-tempered dog he is today. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, working with them, and helping them learn. I work as a first responder, so my schedule is different from a traditional Monday–Friday schedule. I have set days off that allow me to offer pet care, and I primarily schedule boarding on my days off so I can give your pet plenty of attention and supervision. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits when my schedule allows. I keep my availability updated and am happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs fit my schedule. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for exercise and play. I have two dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a German Shepherd, who are part of my household. Before boarding, I’m happy to discuss your dog’s temperament, comfort level, and how they do around other dogs. I can use indoor movable pet gates/kennels to safely separate dogs when needed, whether for feeding, rest, or simply giving them their own space. I always prioritize safety and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs.
“Thank you for the amazing care you provided for our new puppy!! We had to leave her for two weeks, and felt comfortable doing so. The pictures and messages were very appreciated. We will be back!”
“This was my fur baby’s first time away from our family. I couldn’t be more confident in leaving him with Erica. I got great vibes from the family and felt that his surroundings were safe. Great communication and pix. I have no doubt that my baby was given plenty of love in my absence. I would definitely recommend Erica and will be a return customer.”
“Andrea is the BEST! She took such good care of Sophie, cooking her chicken and rice during her few days of illness. Because of Andrea's excellent care I didn't have to cut my vacation short. When I picked her up she was happy, healthy, clean and smelled so good! Andrea even gave her a bath when she soiled on herself.”
About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!
“Cheyanne took great care of my 11 year old lab. Sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away missing my baby. Definitely helped ease my mind and she always returned my messages within an hour. I could tell my dog was happy to be there and she loved playing with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend Cheyanne”
“Jessica and her family were very pleasant to work with. Their house and approach felt responsible and safe for my dogs. I plan to use them again when I am in the area. Thanks!”
“Karyssa & Michael provided a 10/10 stay for Meijor! I needed someone on a last minute notice to watch him and they were there for me. Karyssa was very nice and accommodating! She gave Meijor plenty of attention and play time throughout the day. What I appreciated most Maryssa was the constant pictures and updates throughout Meijor’s stay. Whether it was after a walk or play time she kept us up to date on how he was doing. She really treated Meijor like her own! Will 100% be using them again and would recommend them to anyone!”
“SUPER family! GREAT Sitter! I could not have been more confident in leaving my two precious boys (Both Shih Tzus) with Nina and her family. She made time to meet us beforehand, was always responsive to my inquiries. I knew and know I have found the perfect home for my boys to stay when I need to be away.”
“Kate loves spending time with Samantha and Tim. They were so accommodating with our (very) last minute request for boarding. She was very relaxed in the car ride home and seemed as happy as could be!”
“Talia and Austin are the kindest people around and our dog is so well taken care of. Our dog has so much fun while she is at their house and returns exhausted which is all that we can ask for!”
“Working with Megan was great overall. My dog had her own room and access to the backyard. Stella seem to get along well with Megan and her dogs. I was sent regular updates and lots of photos. I felt very reassured. The seller was getting the best treatment available. Thanks, Megan. Will be back for more.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
