“We were very happy that Julie could take good care of Pumpkin. Julie sent us a picture while we were away for the weekend and she provided a thorough report when we picked Pumpkin up. We would call on Julie again.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Took great care of my dog, and sent updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing! Felt super comfortable leaving her there even tho we didn’t get a chance to meet before we dropped daisy off.”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Heather was amazing! I don’t use a pet sitter often so I was a little nervous but Heather was excellent with communicating during the stay and made me feel at ease. Liberty loved playing with Gherkin and Gunnar (heather’s dogs) and did not want to leave! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent lots of videos and pictures and text updates during the stay.”
“Thank you, James, for taking care of my precious Oreo at the last minute. He kept sending me pictures of my dog. I had no problem leaving her with him, and I hope to use James's services again in the future. He has a great environment for pet care and a large yard for them to play and run around in.”
“We will definitely book with Melissa again! She was great! She accommodated a same day booking for me due to another sitter canceling. She gave me updates throughout my pups stay! I will always recommend Melissa!”
About: My late dog Casey (d. May 2026) was dog-reactive, and I found out firsthand how hard it is to find a dogsitter without any personal pets or other clients in the home for dogs like her when I travel. I always had at least one dog and cat in the home growing up, but Casey taught me how to set animals up for success by accepting them as they are and adjusting to their needs-- medical, emotional, and physical. For dog boarding, I would like to use my house and fenced-in yard to give other pets a quiet respite when their owners need to travel-- walks, naps, and play included-- and give owners the peace of mind that their pet is somewhere comfortable and safe when they are away. I sanitize and clean my house thoroughly after each pet's visit and pick up the dog poops from my yard to reduce any illness spread between dogs. For housesitting, I would treat your pet and house as I would want my own to be treated if a sitter stayed-- as it was left if not cleaner. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention. Any errand outside of the house I need to run is less than an hour. I will take cues from your pet and your directions on how to occupy your pet's day. On weekdays, I work a 8-to-4 job with flexibility. I typically wake at 6:30AM, return around noon to check on pets + give attention/walk, and stay home after work. Depending on your pet's needs, we can burn off energy or unwind together before I ensure that your pet is settled in for the night with my bedroom door open for nighttime access. As someone whose late dog who had medical and social needs, I will follow your care instructions for your pet in activities, mealtimes, and other concerns, along with medicine administration if needed. I will not be leaving your pet alone in the yard; your pet will be kept indoor in A/C with access to the living room and kitchen during weekdays. Please plan to bring some of your pet's comfort items (toys and treats) along with their necessities to ensure they have something from home for boarding. For new clients boarding in my home, I would ask that you are present for at least fifteen minutes when dropping off your pet to allow acclimation to the space and association with me as someone positive while you and I review care instructions for your pet. If meeting in the home is not possible for boarding, a time for your pet to meet me in a Meet & Greet is essential ahead of time. I want your pet's initial time with me to be as stress-free as possible.
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“This is our second time using Flora. Lots of pictures and videos. The dogs were so loved while they were there! She is a great communicator and was flexible with a change in plans. We are hoping we get to use her one more time while we are in the area!”
“Maria was excellent with my puppy Coco. Coco seemed to had a lot of fun playing with her and didn't miss me at all. She regularly sent me pics and videos of coco playing which was very assuring. I would definitely recommend her to my friends too if they are going away and need someone to take care of their dogs. Thanks Maria for taking such good care of Coco :)”
About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.

I live by a stop sign so cars do not come by fast but they do go by right in front of the house. I have trained my dogs to go nowhere near the front yard for safety reasons.

“Ashley was truly a godsend! One of my kitties has a lot of anxiety especially when I need to be away, and Ashely was extremely attentive and flexible with how she cared for them, went above and beyond with every step including giving Lily her meds twice a day to help with her anxiety. She kept the litter boxes immaculate and kept me updated on everything; and it was clear that the girls were getting more comfortable with her each visit. The peace of mind I got from knowing my girls were so well taken care of is priceless, and I can’t say enough how much I appreciate it! Will be booking again for sure!”

“Laura is the best! She has been watching my cats for a while now and takes such good care of them. One of cats requires a daily inhaler and Laura is able to give it to him. She is very accommodating and quick to reply! 10/10 recommend”
“Sydney was amazing with communication, and I could tell my cat enjoyed spending time with her. If anything she spoiled my cat she did such a good job. Will be booking again if needed.”

“Jessica was awesome with our cat Bella during our out of town weekend. Always on time, updating us on everything and taking excellent care of our Bella. I would not hesitate to use for services again and very grateful for her help and care.”
“Karen took such great care of our cat, Jack! Even from the meet and greet, she was patient and respectful of his boundaries as he’s hesitant to warm up to new people. She checked in before the drop in visits started and was super communicative. We loved looking at all the photos she'd take each visit and reading the detailed notes. We knew Jack was in excellent hands and won’t hesitate to have Karen care for Jack again!”
“Katie was able to accommodate our boy Salem on short notice. Gave us an update on how he was doing and we felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Our cat doesn’t get along well with other cats and she was able to accommodate that for him. Thanks again for watching Salem!”

“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”
About: Hi, I'm dependable, stay-at-home dog lover who provides a safe, fun, and loving environment for you're pup while you're away. I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I require that they are in a crate or in a kennel at night.
“Sadie hasn’t been to daycare (or boarded) for about 2 1/2 years, but Alexandria put us both at ease. Her pups are adorable and I think Sadie really enjoyed herself! We’ll be back!”
“Juli is great, and there’s no other person I’d trust more with my dog! Although pippin gets anxious when I leave, she always gets excited when we pull up to Juli’s house!”
About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a timid tabby, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and medicine, I have the hands-on experience to handle it all. I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.
About: I know how to adapt to each animal’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is the trust I build not only with pets but with their people. I provide daily updates, adorable photos, and peace of mind while you're away. Whether it's administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering some extra love and belly rubs, I treat every pet like my own. This isn’t just a job, it's a loving passion! Pet care fits into my week really naturally. I'm in school with an easy schedule, so I’ve got the time that makes it easy to fit in morning walks, afternoon visits, or whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s dropping in to feed and play, going for a walk, or just keeping them company, I plan my day around making sure they’re happy and well cared for. Honestly, spending time with animals is the best part of my day—it never feels like a chore!! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In my home, I keep things calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to their normal routines as much as I can—meals, walks, and bedtime, so it feels familiar to them. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure their pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any instructions closely and always leave the place just as I found it, if not better!

About: I have a passion for animals and have been working with them for many years. Growing up on a large farm in upstate New York, I was exposed to a wide range of pets and farm animals.

“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”

Whether it's administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering some extra love and belly rubs, I treat every pet like my own. This isn’t just a job, it's a loving passion! Pet care fits into my week really naturally. I'm in school with an easy schedule, so I’ve got the time that makes it easy to fit in morning walks, afternoon visits, or whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s dropping in to feed and play, going for a walk, or just keeping them company, I plan my day around making sure they’re happy and well cared for. Honestly, spending time with animals is the best part of my day—it never feels like a chore!! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In my home, I keep things calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to their normal routines as much as I can—meals, walks, and bedtime, so it feels familiar to them. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure their pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any instructions closely and always leave the place just as I found it, if not better!
About: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies! I'm a graduate student work part-time so I have a good deal of flexibility. I am unavailable MWF 9am-1pm and T/TH 2pm-5pm. Beyond that, I am happy to work within our schedules to take care of your furry friends! Ultimately, I want to uphold what you would normally do to care for your pet. I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!
About: I have been bringing home and taking in animals ever since 2010 when I was in 5th grade. I have always put a lot of time, patience, love, sweat and money into my own animals. I try to give my babies the best quality of life that I can provide and I intend to do the same while yours are in my care! I have a tremendous amount of love & respect for all animals. I also have a lot of experience with multiple different breeds because I've had numerous dogs, a cat & a leopard gecko. Some duties I can help assist with include potty training, walking, teaching training commands & any senior/special needs care. If needed I can administer oral liquid medications, as well as pills and I can change diapers too. I am a stay at home dog mommy and I run a small business as well. So I generally have a lot of time, love & space to offer at my house throughout the week for guests. I'd love to take care of your babies or walk them to help you out with your busy schedule! !!!NEW DAYCARE INQUIRIES PLEASE READ!!! :) DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF CLIENTS IVE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DAYCARE HOURS THEY ARE NOW FROM 8AM-8PM. **My base rate of $35/day ensures your baby with up to 12 hours per day in my care!

Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just some extra love and cuddles, I always focus on making pups feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m confident with senior dogs and those needing special attention. Their comfort is always my priority. i’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m available to care for your pets! I can provide daily walks, check-ins, or extended care tailored to your needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable, whether at my place or yours.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two Labs and a Cocker Spaniel, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've also stayed at multiple families' homes to care for their dogs while they were away, so I'm experienced with keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. My Cocker Spaniel takes daily medication for stomach issues, so I'm confident giving medications and following care routines. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping your dog company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently home from college for the summer and only work 1–2 days a week as a lifeguard, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to work around their routine! When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're fed on schedule, taken outside regularly, and get one or two walks a day if that's part of their routine. If your dog sleeps in a crate, I'll make sure they're comfortably settled in at bedtime, or I'll leave them out if that's what they're used to. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“She’s great!! She came and met my dog before the walk date for free and was so sweet. My very nervous/ skittish dog loved her immediately. She sent lots of pictures and did a great job. 10/10 recommend”

“We were very happy that Julie could take good care of Pumpkin. Julie sent us a picture while we were away for the weekend and she provided a thorough report when we picked Pumpkin up. We would call on Julie again.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Took great care of my dog, and sent updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing! Felt super comfortable leaving her there even tho we didn’t get a chance to meet before we dropped daisy off.”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Heather was amazing! I don’t use a pet sitter often so I was a little nervous but Heather was excellent with communicating during the stay and made me feel at ease. Liberty loved playing with Gherkin and Gunnar (heather’s dogs) and did not want to leave! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent lots of videos and pictures and text updates during the stay.”
“Thank you, James, for taking care of my precious Oreo at the last minute. He kept sending me pictures of my dog. I had no problem leaving her with him, and I hope to use James's services again in the future. He has a great environment for pet care and a large yard for them to play and run around in.”
“We will definitely book with Melissa again! She was great! She accommodated a same day booking for me due to another sitter canceling. She gave me updates throughout my pups stay! I will always recommend Melissa!”
About: My late dog Casey (d. May 2026) was dog-reactive, and I found out firsthand how hard it is to find a dogsitter without any personal pets or other clients in the home for dogs like her when I travel. I always had at least one dog and cat in the home growing up, but Casey taught me how to set animals up for success by accepting them as they are and adjusting to their needs-- medical, emotional, and physical. For dog boarding, I would like to use my house and fenced-in yard to give other pets a quiet respite when their owners need to travel-- walks, naps, and play included-- and give owners the peace of mind that their pet is somewhere comfortable and safe when they are away. I sanitize and clean my house thoroughly after each pet's visit and pick up the dog poops from my yard to reduce any illness spread between dogs. For housesitting, I would treat your pet and house as I would want my own to be treated if a sitter stayed-- as it was left if not cleaner. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention. Any errand outside of the house I need to run is less than an hour. I will take cues from your pet and your directions on how to occupy your pet's day. On weekdays, I work a 8-to-4 job with flexibility. I typically wake at 6:30AM, return around noon to check on pets + give attention/walk, and stay home after work. Depending on your pet's needs, we can burn off energy or unwind together before I ensure that your pet is settled in for the night with my bedroom door open for nighttime access. As someone whose late dog who had medical and social needs, I will follow your care instructions for your pet in activities, mealtimes, and other concerns, along with medicine administration if needed. I will not be leaving your pet alone in the yard; your pet will be kept indoor in A/C with access to the living room and kitchen during weekdays. Please plan to bring some of your pet's comfort items (toys and treats) along with their necessities to ensure they have something from home for boarding. For new clients boarding in my home, I would ask that you are present for at least fifteen minutes when dropping off your pet to allow acclimation to the space and association with me as someone positive while you and I review care instructions for your pet. If meeting in the home is not possible for boarding, a time for your pet to meet me in a Meet & Greet is essential ahead of time. I want your pet's initial time with me to be as stress-free as possible.
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“This is our second time using Flora. Lots of pictures and videos. The dogs were so loved while they were there! She is a great communicator and was flexible with a change in plans. We are hoping we get to use her one more time while we are in the area!”

I work full time 8-5, thirty minutes away from my address and have family 5 minutes away if anything come up while I’m at work, I have cameras inside and outside of my home so I can monitor animals when I’m not home. I am also available on weekends if you need an overnight sitter, and can stop in and check on your animals as many times as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard and would require a lease and harness for them to be taken out. This would make me feel better as nothing would happen to them. I live by a stop sign so cars do not come by fast but they do go by right in front of the house. I have trained my dogs to go nowhere near the front yard for safety reasons.
“We brought our golden doodle with us to Snow hill and left her with Lisa while we attended Baseball games. Lisa has a fantastic yard and she took her for walks daily. Maddie seemed so happy and almost sad to leave. If we ever land in Snow Hill again, we will ask Lisa to watch out fur baby.”
