“Extremely pleased with Victoria. I don't have to worry about anything because she takes care of the kitties so well and when I return they are always in a great mood. This is 2nd time re-booking and will continue to pick her.”
“Melissa was so amazing! She helped us with drop in visits with our cat. She was super sweet with her and took great care of her, and made sure to send lots of photos and updates which were really appreciated! She also made sure that some packages she kindly brought in from the porch for us were out of our cat’s reach (for the cat’s safety and the package’s safety…) Really grateful to her for taking care of our cat, and on such short notice!”
About: I've had dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish since I was a kid. My family also boarded/walked dogs for a while on here before. I'm very flexible so I can pretty much make anything work. I do some Uber eats as well. Not sure why it's making me put THIS many words here but it's required. I am very careful and caring for my own that I've had over the years. Right now I personally have an iguana that has a lot of particular care needs. And so I understand that everyone else wants their animals to be treated with that same amount of intention.
“Hannah is one of the most thoughtful sitters. We got into a tough situation with our dog, who was not supposed to be home, and she immediately came to the rescue without any hesitation. I will always rebook with Hannah!”
“Jessica was wonderful! She checked in on my cat a couple of times while I was away, making sure the litter box was clean and giving my cat some love and attention in my absence. I really appreciated the updates and cute pictures she sent after each visit — it gave me such peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using Jessica again for future drop-ins!.”
“She did an excellent job as usual. I've booked her before and will continue to as long as she is available. She goes above and beyond to take excellent care of my cats.”
“We truly appreciate Tawny for checking in on our fur babies. We are even more grateful she was able to take a last minute booking. Thank you and we highly recommended Tawny.”
About: I have taken care of my oldest cat now for three years and more to come. I have also watched my coworkers cats making sure I came at least 2 times a day to feed, play, and clean the litter box after them. I would love to make new cat friends that I can look after.
“Alyson was a great sitter, I’m so glad I was able to find her. She sent many photos, which was amazing as I missed my sweet kitty very much. Her notes were also very thorough, which was greatly appreciated too!”
“Megan was so nice to work with. We feel she went above and beyond for our cats. She took the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. They were so spoiled while we were gone. If you are looking for a pet sitter who is kind and easy to work with book Megan. Thanks again Megan!”
“Izzy was awesome! She was incredibly thorough in her care of our cats. Other sitters in the past have just fed them, cleaned their litter box, and left. Izzy actually stayed, played with the cats, gave them treats, and lots of extra love while we were gone. Highly recommend her! We will be using her again!”
“Kelly was wonderful to work with and our shy kitty warmed up to her quickly! We had to modify our travel plans last minute due to illness, and helped us make sure despite all that, our little furball was cared for. Lots of photos and updates, everything was in order when we got home! Thanks, Kelly!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of cats my entire life. I am no stranger to litter boxes nor cat scratches. I enjoy playing with and caring for the 3 cats I have at home. I am experienced in administering medications orally and subcutaneously.
“Ann is the best! She is a wonderful communicator, even with some of my last minute chaotic requests! She takes such great care of my cat. I am so thankful for her and trust her whole heartedly!”
“Emerald has done check-ins for my cat a couple times while I was out of town. She is very caring and reliable. She sent updates and photos for each visit. I feel that she went above and beyond in her services. I could see that my cat felt safe and loved her from the photos she sent, but also when we got home he was happy as could be.”
“I appreciate Kristen’s flexibility so much! Recently I was stuck at the airport in Miami unable to get home as scheduled. I notified Kristen and she did not hesitate to make sure my pets were taken care of. This is not the first time she jumped in to help me. I don’t know what I would do without her!”

“Lucia was amazing with my two dogs. One of which is super shy but she made her feel so at home that in just two visits had her snuggle with her. Loved all the photos too! Definitely using her again.”
“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!”
“I am in town for a wedding, and my dog was too stressed to stay in the hotel while I was gone. Desiree was a life saver by taking my dog at the last minute for doggy daycare! I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing my dog was having fun with other people and other dogs, and I picked up a happy and tired pup 😀 If I ever find myself back in the area, I would 100% ask Desiree to watch my dog again. Thanks!!!”
“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!”
About: I have raised or taken care of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, sheep, cows, chickens, etc. You name it, if it was on a farm, I've helped to take care of it since I was a wee lass. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties and doggos. We had a dog with Addison's Disease, so I am well versed in administering medicine orally, as well as subcutaneously. Our bearded dragon recently passed away, but she lived 9 years, which is decent in bearded dragon life! I do enjoy beardies and reptiles in general. I'm a stay-at-home-mom (prior teacher, but we have a bunch of little kids), and I'm always in town running errands and doing school drop-offs. I'm looking for exercise, and I love animals, so it seems like a beautiful fit. I started off with house sitting on my profile, but I took it off because I cannot to commit to sitting with them all day long because it takes a lot from my family. I can, however, spend hours with them at a time, and spend the night, but can't stay the whole time. Feel free to send me a message about house-sitting if that's what you need, and we can discuss. I know not to overfeed an animal; understand that exercise keeps them out of trouble; can easily crate your dog, and keep everyone fed, watered, and loved while you're away. I take pride in the fact that I am a quality person with high morals. I am too old for any hoodrat ish, and if you leave a vacuum and/or cleaning supplies out for me, I will use them for you. I am here for people and families, but I do prefer animals LOL
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.
“Jacki was awesome. We are pleased with her professionalism. Loved seeing photos during the day. One of our dogs can be skittish, but quickly warmed up to Jacki. Great to feel safe leaving our babies with her.”
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.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and I absolutely love animals of every kind. I am very active, I have lots of experience with dogs (including fostering 13 dogs and puppies through a local rescue) and I can provide basic training, as well as baths, and lots of love while you are away! My goal for every booking is for your pets to feel like they are the ones going on vacation at the same time their family is :) I also have two dogs as well who loves to play so they will keep each other company during your pup’s stay. I typically go for a walk in the morning and a walk at night with my dog so I can provide lots of exercise if desired! I am also always happy to just provide lots of snuggles if that is more your dog’s speed! I have a large fenced in backyard and I live in a neighborhood with lots of safe sidewalks for walks. I never leave dogs outside unsupervised and provide lots of mental and physical exercise!
“We were on vacation from Louisiana during the fourth of July weekend and needed one day to ourselves with out Sara. Katie did wonderful. She constantly was sending pictures and updates. Sara was just exhausted when we got home, and slept like a beauty on the 8 hour drive home the next day. If I lived in the area I would defiantly be a repeat customer!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. We dropped our dog two days in a row for daycare, and he was very happy when we picked him and excited to return the next day. We will definitely go to Jennifer again when we’re back in Pinehurst.”
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.
“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❤️”
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!
About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!
“Rebecca took really good care of my boys. They were completely worn out by the time they got home. I really appreciate her quick response to my last minute request. She really saved the day keeping my 2, 8 month old puppies.”

“Heather is an absolute Angel. Have no idea what we would have done without her assistance. She has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, caring, on time and flexible with all of our needs to help with our new baby English Bulldog. Our puppy is super excited to see her each visit 😍 I recently had to have surgery on my foot ( was not planned ) I have never tried using a dog friendly app but this has truly worked out fantastic and would recommend this company and Heather to all of my dog owner friends 🧡 Big thank you again for the help I needed after my surgery with Abbie. We will definitely reach out again when we need additional services.✨️”
“Victoria is awesome! She has been very reliable and consistent with walking my buddy several days a week and is very communicative. I look forward to the pics she shares of my pup whenever she takes him for a walk! Would recommend, my dog is happy to see me when I get home but clearly gets enough engagement during his afternoon walks!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. I taught my dog play dead. I also taught my mom’s dog to have great recall. I love dogs and am very passionate about them. I am currently working almost full time but I am available 2 days for sure free. I will also come before and after work to make sure that the pets are ok! I will make sure anything that could be poisonous will be out of reach. I will also check that the animals are acting like their normal selves.
“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Melissa has been taking very good care of my pug and goes above and beyond in what she does. I feel safe with her walking my dog and entering and exiting my home. I couldn't reccomend her enough.”

And so I understand that everyone else wants their animals to be treated with that same amount of intention.
About: Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve spent time looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbors—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their personalities and needs so they feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be reliable and fully present for every visit. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and downtime—so nothing feels disrupted while you’re away. I spend quality time with each pet, not just quick visits, and always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I also keep you updated so you have peace of mind.
About: **Unfortunately due to the app taking 20% of my pay, I’ve had to increase my pricing. Happy to work around this and discuss further** I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. From reptiles, small animals, cats and dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.
“Tara does an amazing job with my Luna! She communicates well, is timely, and always takes great care of my girl. Tara is thoughtful and often takes time to do little things that mean so much. I would recommend her without hesitation. Her character and heart are golden!”
“Emetals stepped in on very short notice when my regular dog walker had an emergency, and she was amazing. She was incredibly responsive, warm, and worked with me to find the best schedule for my 7 month old puppy. What stood out most was how happy and relaxed my pup was when I got home. This tells me she felt comfortable and well cared for. That alone says everything to me about the care Emerald provided. I’d absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring.”

About: I have very flexible hours and love taking care of pets with walks and lots of cuddles. I own two dogs and a cat that have very lovely lifestyles.

“Lucia went above and beyond to make my puppy feel comfortable and happy. Unbelievably great communication throughout, and an absolutely wonderful experience. I will go out of my way to make sure she’s the one I book with ALWAYS, just the best!! 🙏🙏”
“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful for Kris! She is so kind and accommodating. Our dogs are a little high maintenance (one has some behavioral issues and the other has special needs) and she was more than happy to take care of them. In the past when we’ve had a poor experience with other walkers my dogs are stressed when I get home. Every time Kris has taken care of my dogs they seem so calm and content! She leaves detailed notes about the visit and sends lots of pictures, which I appreciate. She also stopped by to meet them beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. I would 100% recommend her services and will continue to book with her!”

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience with dogs in a variety of settings. I spent two years as a dog trainer, where I learned how to understand canine behavior, reinforce good habits, and work with dogs of all personalities. I also have two years of experience in veterinary medicine, giving me the knowledge to recognize changes in a pet’s health, administer medications when needed, and respond calmly in unexpected situations. With more than four years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I know every animal is different. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, shy, or senior, I take the time to learn their routine and provide care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind through dependable care and regular updates. As a stay-at-home mom and full-time remote student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My coursework is completed from home, so I’m able to stick to your pet’s routine, including potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs frequent check-ins, overnight care, or extra companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I also understand that every pet is different. Whether they enjoy playing, lounging on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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.”
“Really appreciated Haley texting us a couple times every day and sending photos and videos. Maggie seemed really happy playing with the other dogs and we felt very comfortable about her being there. Will definitely return!”
About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
