“Everything went great with Ronald. My puppy, Kodi, enjoyed his first stay with him. Nice house and fenced in backyard too. Just rebooked for this weekend. Highly recommended.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“This was our 1st time ever using the app and Laura was amazing with our kitties. I will definitely be using her again and recommend her 100% without worry that our fur babies would get nothing but the best love and attention that they need. She sent picture and videos everyday with updates on how they were doing. It was a great relief to know that we chose the best person to take care of kitties during our vacation.”
“Brad was an excellent dog sitter! Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, my dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great and I had complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“Carrie took great care of our pit bull Sox in her home while we were out of town for a couple days! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos to assure us he was doing well. Her whole family gave him much love and treated him like their own. Will definitely be using her again!”
“William is a very friendly guy, animal lover. He took care of my dog for a few days and make my dog feel like he was home. My dog enjoyed his stay and was taken care during his stay. William was very communicative. I definitely recommend him, and I know I will book with him again on my next trip. ☺️🐶”
“Great experience! It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t prejudge a pit bull. My sweet girl got to roam the house and yard, cuddle on the couch, and had such a great time with Russell. He provided photos and quick responses before and during her stay. Will definitely use again!”
“I can't recommend Ms. Deborah enough! She took such wonderful care of my two fur babies during their stay. From the moment they arrived, they felt right at home and quickly adjusted to their new environment. They absolutely loved spending time on her farm, and I could tell they were in great hands. It's clear that Ms. Deborah has a genuine love for animals, and she went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Cody. She sent pictures and videos daily and messages letting me know how he was doing. Cody hasn’t done well in boarding environments. On the way home from Jennifer’s he was calm and content. He also became buddies with her dog Milo. I will certainly be taking Cody back to Jennifer!”
“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“Susan and her family were amazing with our Penny girl! We loved all the photos and videos each evening. Penny spent Christmas with them and they even bought her a gift because I told them that our girl loves Christmas! I highly recommend having them sit your babies ❤️”
“Jessica was great! Extremely responsive and sent so many pics and videos. I could tell my pup was having so much fun with her pups and was very well taken care of.”

“Madison did a great job with my kitty. She was a feral cat when she adopted us and isn't real friendly. She and Madison became great friends by the end of the week. Madison also made sure the other feral cats that hang around had plenty to eat also. It was nice to know they were well taken care of so we could relax and have fun.”
“Melissa was so great with our kitties while we were out of town. She sent thorough updates and pictures with each visit. I could tell she actually played with them and enjoyed their craziness. Will definitely consider rebooking if needed.”
“Ronnie took such good care of my baby while I was away. Let me know how she was doing and sent pics everyday she came. Misa was happy to see me when I got home but it was evident she had been well taken care of !! Will deff book Ronnie again the next time I need to travel.”
“Allison took great care of our senior Kitty and was attentive to the little details. Our Chloe clearly liked her as evidenced by the purrs, kneading and the fact that she was talkative around Allison. Will definitely contact Allison again!”

“I’m new to the area and was really nervous about leaving my four cats for a week, especially my senior cat who’s 15 and requires a little extra care and attention. Amy was fantastic from the start—professional, kind, and clearly a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know each of my cats and made me feel completely at ease. I received regular updates and photos, which really helped me relax while I was away. When I returned, everything was spotless and the cats were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Amy went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

I am available during weekdays to dog walk and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. Can adjust hours to better accommodate clients schedule if need be. I have a partially fenced in backyard.

I will also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable that your fur baby is in good hands.
“Merrily took care of my dog during the weekend, she was great at communication, sending a lot of updates and pics with my dog, who looked so happy in her company! 10/10 would recommend her services and I definitely book with her again in the future”
About: I have years of experience caring for cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care like feeding, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs: some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away.
“Sarah sent lots of pictures to assure me my babies were doing well. She even got down and took pictures of them under my bed. One of my kitties is very skiddish so she gave her a treat under the bed. Now that’s going above and beyond.”
“Amber really loves my baby!! She also reinforces the commands and reprimands that I do so I’m not starting all over every day with my puppy. She takes time to update me and makes sure she has a good time even if it’s for just 30 minutes. So grateful for her!”

“Took excellent care of my two dogs even though it was a last minute request. They came back tired from all the fun they had, i would absolutely recommend and will definitely request again when im in town.”
About: I was a volunteer rescuer and foster home for several animal rescue organizations, I have cared for elderly animals as well as puppies, I know how to administer medications. I am available every day of the week, as well as in the evenings, I can take them for morning or afternoon walks, depending on the pet owner's preference. I don't have my own pets, I live in an apartment that does accept pets in a quiet neighborhood with green areas to walk peacefully.
About: Hi im Victoria, Your pet is in experienced hands. I’m a fully insured, Pet CPR certified, certified dog trainer and professional groomer with previous experience as a veterinary assistant, giving me a well-rounded background in pet care. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and needs—from puppies who need structure and basic training to senior pets who require extra patience, mobility support, or medication schedules. I’m also experienced administering medications and monitoring pets for any health or behavior changes. My goal is to provide safe, knowledgeable, and reliable care so your pets feel comfortable, maintain their routine, and receive the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work professionally with dogs and have built my schedule around caring for animals, so providing reliable, attentive care fits naturally into my day. Because of my background as a certified dog trainer and professional groomer, I’m used to working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs throughout the week. Whether it’s walks, training reinforcement, playtime, medication schedules, or simply making sure pets feel comfortable and secure, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m very organized with scheduling and communication, which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and mental stimulation. With my background as a fully insured certified dog trainer, professional groomer, and former veterinary assistant, I’m able to provide a higher level of care than a typical sitter. I’m comfortable working with puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, mobility support, or medication. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while maintaining the same level of care they receive from you at home. 🐾
About: What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines. I’m especially great with independent pets, seniors, shy animals, and anyone who needs a gentle, steady presence rather than chaos. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and calm. I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I can remember. Many neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their lovely pets! I will adore them as if they were my own! I work a job that is remote throughout the week and I do find myself having a lot of extra time because of that. I have a pretty open schedule during the weekends so I’m very flexible and I’m willing to stay at your house or bring them over to interact with my own pet. I do have a fur baby of my own who is super friendly and loves everyone and anyone that will pay attention to him. “

If you have a pet with medical needs, I have you covered. I am well versed in administering not only oral, eye or ear medication, but also injections. I am very passionate about making sure your pet has a comfortable and safe stay at our home, and treating them like part of the family. Communication before and during your pets stay is critical, please reach out with any questions you have. I provide daily picture updates with details on how our day was, usually in the evenings.

About: I have never had a dog of my own, but have plenty of experience around them! I have helped family and friends with their pets on many occasions. I am a stay at home mom and I don’t go anywhere often, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a large 2 story house and a fenced in area. I do have my 4 year old son and 5 year old girls at home until they go to school in August so your babies need to like kids! I have a cat, but she keeps to herself on the completely opposite side of my house from any other animals that come in. If going to someone else’s home, I will follow all instructions left for me, and take care of your home and pets as I do my own! 🩷
About: As a child and all throughout my adult years we always had animals in the house. They bring so much joy and comfort, often in times we didn’t know we needed it. I love all types of animals. I don’t mind any size or breed, they will all be loved the same. Leaving and trusting your pet with a stranger can often be scary, for both you and the pet. Which is why I make my visiting pets feel right at home by providing them with a large yard to run and play fetch, plenty of belly rubs and daily picture updates, leaving you with the comfort and security knowing your pet is being well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby!
“Everything went great. River was tired after playing with her dog all day. I got pictures through out the day which I really like. Great communication, big yard , got enough water. And I liked that she was very close to where I was staying. I would recommend her and use her again”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 20 years. I have always used a very simple approach to dog sitting. A tired dog that is engaged is easy to take care of. My property has lots of things that will keep your dog curious and entertained. I have squirrels that run around in the trees and moles that leave chutes in the ground. Outside my fence you will often see rabbits, deer and the occasional opossum. Your dog will love the new smells and occasional sightings of these animals. For physical activity I have plenty of long stretches for play and ball chasing as well as some basic agility obstacles your dog may find interesting. My semi wooded lot has lots of sticks to chew on. Your pet will be included in walks around the neighborhood and my local park. Having recently retired from corporate America I am looking for things to keep me busy and make use of my love of pets and experience caring for them. I also recently lost my dog to cancer and while I am not quite ready to adopt a new dog I miss having one around. I do not have a 9-5 so except for the occasional errand I will be around for your pet full time. I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. I attach a tracking tag to the collar of every dog in my care as well as an extra layer of security. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have and rest assured you will not regret booking me for any of your pet needs. I am retired so with the exception of an errand I will be available to your pet full time. Pets are allowed on my furniture and bed. Please advise if this is a behavioral you are trying to discourage! Your pet will enjoy plenty of time outside and walks around my neighborhood and local park. I have a fenced in wooded acre. Your pet will be given free range of my home, but I will crate or contain them when I am away for their protection. I currently have no pets so your dog will receive my full attention.
“I have used Georgeann several times while I was in town. River loves the whole family and they have other dogs to play with and a big yard. She never leaves him in the heat and he gets lots of attention. She has great communication and is always on time for pickup. She is very responsive and responsible and is a very popular sitter for good reason.”

Madison showed up every day for two months, on time, happy and ready to go. My dog Olive absolutely adores her. I do not know what I would have done without her. Highly, highly recommend her services.”
“Natalia has been great with our two dogs! They are normally pretty anxious but have warmed right up to her!! She is on time, communicates well, and takes cute pictures of the boys :) We will definitely continue using her for future visits!”

“Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!”

About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break and am in between Chapel Hill and Gastonia! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and Gastonia and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!
“Maria was great she communicated and sent pictures that helped a lot since this was my first time using this type of service for these babies. I used one years ago but had a different dog and didn’t know how my sweet babies would respond but they did great. I just always worry if the new person will be patient with my babies and she definitely was so that helped.”
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
About: I’ve had several dogs, I have 4 at the moment and make sure each one gets the same amount of attention and love. I take them on walks and play with them when I can.

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.
“Liz and her husband are wonderful! I was nervous about having a stranger come to let my dog out since she can be a bit wild at times. But Liz and Burton both were so great with her and put all my worries to rest! They are so helpful and make sure Charlie gets all the love and care she needs during the visit! You definitely don’t need to be worried about a thing if you book them!”

“Everything went great with Ronald. My puppy, Kodi, enjoyed his first stay with him. Nice house and fenced in backyard too. Just rebooked for this weekend. Highly recommended.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”

“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
