I highly recommend Gabrielle. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: My family adopted our first kitten when I was 9 years old. I've loved cats ever since. Fate had a HUGE part to play in my family adopting Marigold, our 9 month old orange and white fur ball. She fell out of the engine of a car driving in front of me as a teeny tiny feral kitten. After weeks of living in our garage and only being handled with gloves (she was MEAN!), I was able to earn her trust and believe it or not, 9 months later she is a sweet, loving indoor kitty!
About: I did not grow up with cats but have lived with a few during my college days and early adult life. Im a home-body who can chill and play with any cat! I’m hyper alert to odd sounds and will make sure your cat is safe and not being mischievous!
“Michael did an amazing job with pet sitting our small kitten & guinea pigs. I was nervous for the first time leaving the kitten, & his photos reassured me. He is a great photographer! He seems to really be an animal lover. Most importantly he was reliable & communicated well - very much appreciated during a busy vacation. Very happy we found him.”
“Candice was an excellent cat sitter for our cat, Lulu! She went above and beyond - from giving Lulu her medicine and treats to even getting her a new toy (which is loves), we really appreciate all Candice did. Lulu is often shy around new people but opened right up to Candice. If we go out of town again we will 100% be booking with Candice again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a pre-med student at NC State that is looking to continue caring for animals and enjoy doing it! I am home for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which helps me stay consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time. I ensure they are always fed, hydrated, cared for, and active throughout the experience to ensure the pets remain happy and healthy. I will play with the pet and take them for lots of walks. I will also clean up any and all messes to maintain a clean environment.
About: I personally haven’t ever owned my own cats but my sister and friends have. Everyone my sister goes out of town I will go and feed her cats and play with them for a little bit and spend time with them. I also always go over and take care of my aunts cats whenever she’s out of town. Just recently, my friend found 3 week old baby kittens under her house and we helped take care of them and helped give them milk since they were so little.
“Kelly is the most amazing person ever! She loved our cats and we got amazing photos each day! If there was any issues she was quick to call to clarify anything to make sure our babies got the care they deserve! 10/10!”
“Such a sweet soul! Cared for my babies like her own which I deeply appreciate! Despite my kitties being shy, I know they appreciated everything she provided for them! I know I did! Will book again! 💗💗”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for family, friends and neighbors for 10 years. They have depended on me to feed, clean litter and give extra love and attention to their cats while they’ve been away.
“She was excellent. She took videos and photos of Sugarlyn so we could see how she was doing. She communicated with us when she had to work and even worked around her lunch so she would have time to stop by in the morning check. I recommend her highly and will definitely continue to use her when we need the service”
“McKenna was great! We had to go out of town on short notice and McKenna was able to squeeze us in and took wonderful care of our cats. One of our cats is very friendly but the other is slower to warm up to strangers. She was sensitive to the differences in their personalities and was able to get our shy cat to warm up to her quite a bit in the few days we were gone. We will absolutely ask McKenna first the next time we have to go out of town!”
“I’ve used several people from Rover and Jordan is one of my favorites! She is punctual and sends great updates when I’m away so I’m reassured that my dogs are happy and in good care.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stokesdale
About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it. I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.
About: We have had many different types of pets over the years and understand the worry of having someone care for your pets while you are away. We are here to help with that worry by providing your pet a loving, fun and safe environment while you are away. Our family consist of my husband, a son in college and a daughter in high school and myself. We have a 13 year old Beagle/Terrier mix who is mostly interested in chasing squirrels and naps. We have recently rescued a kitten who is a fire cracker and provides a lot of interaction and entertainment for other cats and dogs who engages with her. I am home full time and when the children are home both enjoy caring and playing with the pets in our care. Being home allows me to have eyes on your pets and be readily available and responsive. We are well off the beaten path with lots of yard to roam and other barn yard pets. We have a small farm with an area fenced for our dogs as well as a fenced pasture for our farm animals. We also can accommodate crates for those pets that prefer the safety of their known space. Your pet with be a part of our tribe when they are here and will be safe and have a great time. I welcome frequent contact and am very responsive to each pet and their owners needs. Your pet will get the highest level of care here on the farm.
“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!”
“Thank you so much for a great first day with Kona! From the looks of all the pictures, it looks like she really enjoyed herself. It was such a a relief to be able to leave her knowing she was in great hands! We look forward to Kona having more playtime in the future. I will recommend you to all my friends looking for pet care.”
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
“Christina was great with my dog Remus. She was attentive and listened about my concerns for him. She provided regular communications about how their day was going. I was very appreciative of her efforts and care.”
About: Owned cats for over 35 and dogs for over 25 years. Have administered medication as well as brought sick/injured back to health. Familiar with various diet needs/restrictions. A lover of all breeds, I bond quickly with all animals (including the timid or mistrusting), due to my love for and patience with them. Will take time to play, walk and hang with them. Experience with crating, potty training and teething, and other behavioral training. I recently went back to college to complete my BA and now job hunting, so my availability is wide open. I am flexible and having my own three dogs, get up early and am used to letting them out early morning/late night. I can get to your home as early as 6 am and make my final visit as late as 9 pm. I can provide care in the owners or my home, as well as take them for walks (if owner agrees) and/or play in their home and yard with them. I will love on and treat your babies as I would my own. I do not believe in just feeding and letting out without also providing affection and play time, unless the owner strictly requests I do. My schedule is currently open. I am also working for an events venue part time. Connecting with and caring for animals is a pleasure for me and how I choose to spend a lot of my free time. I have a large fenced in yard for running and playing and three large crates and a small one, for those that feel they need that safe space. I also have a 15 x 15 pen outside if I need to keep any separate from each other. I also have four baby gates so I can rotate the room they are in without having to crate those that want to roam but don't get along with others well. I have cautiously and patiently introduced many animals to each other and also know that just like people, some get along with certain animals but not others.
About: I grew up with cats and now as an adult have owned dogs for 20 years. I also foster dogs for Red Dog Farm. I’ve taken care of everything from potty trainings puppies to senior dogs that need daily medication. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m generally available a few hours each weekday and most of the day on Wednesdays and Fridays. I can help on some weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard and great walking trails near my house if your dog is boarding with me. We don’t have pets of our own right now so your pup would receive my full attention. I love to send clients pics and videos so you know your pet is well taken care of.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have dog sat for my friend’s families a few times either by dog sitting or just checking in on them. I have interacted with many different breeds of dogs. I am currently finishing online school and waiting to go back to college in the fall so I am am able to take care of your pets within a flexible schedule. I have a 6 year old border collie/german shepherd mix and just recently had a pit/lab mix pass away. My 6 year old now is walked and played with everyday and she is well trained. She gets a treat a day and fed morning and night.
“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter! She has kept my nine-year-old Maltipoo, Happy, several times. Each time, Stephanie went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and to ensure that Happy felt right at home. Even her poodle, Sammy, was the perfect "little host' and is now Happy's new BFF. The photo updates that Stephanie sent me throughout the day always brought smiles to my face as I could see how much Happy was enjoying himself as he and Sammy explored her lovely fenced backyard or sat together staring outside. I am so pleased to have found such a wonderful and safe "home away from home" for my little fur baby.”
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident presence that pets (and their owners) can trust. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the yard, or overnight pet sitting, I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I’ve worked with senior pups, energetic puppies, and everything in between. You can count on me for reliable care, daily updates, and a happy, wagging tail at the end of the day. My job is extremely flexible—I mostly work from home and have the freedom to take frequent breaks throughout the day. That means I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without any disruption to your pet’s routine.

Having animals around actually makes my day better, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I focus on maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or bedtime routines—to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. From morning walks to nighttime snuggles, I’m there to provide consistent care and keep your pet’s stress to a minimum.

“Doggie Day Care with Carrie was a very pleasant experience. My day care request was last minute and Carrie was very accommodating to squeeze me in. My dog, Doug, came home happy and tired from all the exercise he received. I appreciate the care they took with him and definitely would entrust Carrie with watching Doug again Thank you.”

About: I can't pass a pup in public without getting in a quick pet. If I'm meeting you for the first time I may or may not remember your name, but I'll remember every detail (including name) of your pup. I'm 50 years old, but when I'm in the presence of a furry friend, I start baby talking like a 2-year-old. Bottom line, I love dogs. I am Mama to 4 rescue pups and a rescue kitty. I've proudly fostered 9 rescues over the years and although it's a challenging job, it's extremely rewarding seeing them happy and healthy in their forever homes and knowing that I had a small part to play in that. I'm a stay-at-home Mom of two teenagers who don't need me nearly as much as they used too. That newly acquired free time enables me to accomodate almost any number of drop in visits per day to spend quality time with your fur baby! My pups are used to a specific routine and thrive when they are comfortable and know what to expect. With that being said, I'm happy to follow any care instructions that you request. From administering medication to going on fun-filled walks, your request is my command!
About: I grew up with dogs big and small! I’ve handled elderly dogs that needed diapers and help walking, given medication to dogs who dont want them, and taught boundaries and basic commands to a dog who was untrained. Whatever your furry friend needs, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently free almost every single day! Im a home body who was laid off recently so this is my current job! I do not have any other permanent plans during the week and can be free when needed! I prefer to work in the client’s home as that is the pet’s safe space. I can adapt to any life style a pet requires of me. Some prefer 2-3 walks a day. Some cannot walk a lot and need to be helped. I understand every pet is different and with that comes different types of care for the pet.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different temperaments, and committed to providing reliable care and attention. I have a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online, which allows me to be available for reliable drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m committed to being punctual, attentive, and making sure pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while their owners are away. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine during each visit. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, fresh water, meals, exercise, and care while their owners are away.
“Kyleigh is the best. She is flexible- our family appreciates because our schedules are crazy but she’s willing to make it work where she can. I trust her completely in my home and with my dog and cat. She is someone you can trust, count on, and will be exceptionally kind and loving with your pets. I would t hesitate to recommend Kyleigh.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life as well as smaller caged animals. I grew up with rottweilers and english mastiffs, so no dog is too big. I love to go on walks or hikes and stay active with them, or stay cuddled up on the couch at home if that’s what they prefer. I can check on them at your house or bring them to mine, whatever is better and makes them more comfortable! I work in the evenings so I’m always available to check on your four legged friends during the day and am also able to come home during work to check if need be. I look forward to getting to know your fur friend and treating them like my own! Every morning/afternoon i’m available, and some evenings! I work a nighttime evening schedule so i’m available when you’re busy at work or out of town! Whatever your four-legged buddy needs, I can do. A long work or a quick potty break and some love, I cover it all. Need me to bring in the mail or water plants while I’m there? I can do that too!

About: I've taken care of pets for a very long time, growing up with a dog and as an adult having two cats. I love animals so much, and my biggest priority will always be their safety and comfort. When it comes to dogs, I've pet-sat and done drop-ins for many peoples pets these past years. I love going on long walks with dogs that need them, and I understand some have limitations and may just need to be let out to the back yard too. I also love to play with the more energetic ones that want to play. I'm very respectful of your space and privacy. I'll make sure that if I stay in your home to pet-sit, everything will be back they way it was (pr better) by the time I've finished taking care of your dog. I can also administer topical and oral medications for dogs, so if they need daily pills or to have their flea and tick preventative administered, I can absolutely help! I'm also happy to provide daily check-ins with you regarding your pet! If you need someone detail-oriented, attentive, and respectful of your pet's boundaries, then I'm here for you. I work part time and I can make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to either drop in to take care of your pets, or stay in your home with them! I'm happy to follow any instructions you leave regarding your pet's safety. If you need to ensure that child protective locks are always in place or that you dog gets crated at the end of the day, I can guarantee that will happen. I'm also very cautious of little escape artists, and will be sure that your pets are securely in your home as I'm leaving and entering.
About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I bring hands‑on, compassionate experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler pace. My approach is always the same: treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals having to commit myself to taking care of them. i’m comfortable around all dogs and am willing to learn and adapt to take care of your dogs specific needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk them, I will dedicate my time to loving your dog.

About: I’ve grown up with childhood dogs of all kinds from tiny chihuahuas and mini labradoodles to big breeds like Saint Bernards. I’ve learned that every dog is different, and their care really depends on their breed, personality, and routine. I’ve helped care for my siblings’ pets, looked after cats and dogs for neighbors, and I’m confident handling different energy levels, sizes, and needs. I’m also a runner, so I love taking active dogs on longer walks, but I’m just as happy keeping older or more anxious pets company and making sure they feel safe and calm. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m usually available for dog walks or check ins in the mornings, late afternoons, or early evenings, depending on the day. I’m great at keeping a routine and following instructions closely, and I’ll always make sure your pet is cared for on time. I always aim for safety and a trusting relationship with my pet owners. As so, I want to give full clarity that I recently moved into an apartment complex that does not allow pets in or about the premises. For any doggy day care needs, I would love to take your pets to a local park or walking trail for their socialization, exercise and mental stimulation. Please communicate if this arrangement will work for you and under what other conditions you would feel most comfortable.

I have my own cat myself which I have taken care of since she was about 10 weeks old. I have previous pet sitting/walking/bathing experience from working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where we also took care of cats. Experienced in house sitting for extended periods of time to just needing a check-in whichever is needed. I'm currently working part time as I am a full time student athlete in college right now.

I am willing to keep you as informed as you would like to ensure a sound mind for the owner.

“Holly and her family are the best! This was the first time we left our pup with someone since adopting her, but she cared for Sydney like her own!

Throughout the long weekend, they kept us updated with great communication and adorable pictures.

“Thank you Terry for taking care of my furbaby. Anyone looking for a great sitter should really consider Terry, my pup was wagging her tail and as happy as she could be when I arrived to pick her up and in talking with Terry I felt great about leaving my pup with her for the trip I took and will be scheduling with her in the future.”
“Tina was a fantastic host for our Abby! Her home was spacious and has a great yard for dogs to play and enjoy the sun throughout the day with a great park right around the corner.

If you are looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter for your pup, Tina is your person!”

“An absolute wonderful job with taking care of everything my dog needed. Made sure to bathe him and trim his claws and feed him according to his diet. I would recommend Joaquin in every scenario for pet care and will be most definitely reaching out for his services again!”

I got daily updates and pictures, and the communication calmed my heart tremendously. Even when she faced an emergency during their stay, she remained concerned about the dogs and my experience. I could not recommend her more.”
