“Lutisa was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. She sent daily pictures and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog had plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It’s clear that Lutisa truly loves what she does. I will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations! ♥️ Bethune”

She loved on my dogs, took them with her outside on walks and while working in the yard, sent me picture and video updates. I don't worry about my dogs in the least bit when they are with Gina. She will take excellent care of your dogs while she has them in her care. She's my #1 option for pet care. I highly recommend!”

She did a great job caring for him, sharing any concerns she had, and sending a video or two. We could tell that our pup was having a great time and felt very comfortable. Thank you Channon!!”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter.

I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Cinthia and Fernando took wonderful care of our pups while we were away for an extended amount of time. We received twice-daily updates with pictures and videos, which greatly eased any nervousness we had about being away for so long.

We know they were in good hands and will absolutely reach out to Cinthia and Fernando the next time Miles and Mabel are ready for a vacation!”

Thanks very much for welcoming Pickle and giving him a home away from home, much appreciated!”

“Breanna was amazing!! We had her check in on our cats while we were on vacation. We were just expecting them to get fed, litter scooped, and to have the plants watered. She sent us sweet detailed summaries of the time she spent with them 🥰 They absolutely made our time! She spent time with them, quickly learned their personalities 😂, and even got our shy boy to visit her. We cannot say enough good things! We are so happy we picked her to take care of our babies!”
About: I’ve owned cats throughout my life and taken care of my friend's, roommate's, and neighbor's cats since high school. I have been told I know how to get even the shyest cats to warm up to me. However, experience with my own extremely sassy cat has shown me how to cater to all pet needs, including alone time in a hiding spot.

“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!”
“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.”
“Rebecca did a great job taking care of our Cavapoo. We are not from North Carolina and leaving our baby with someone we don’t know isn’t always ideal. We felt completely comfortable with Rebecca and her extensive background working with animals. Highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter in Greensboro!”
“Jared was a great pet sitter for my Westley. He was prompt in replying, friendly & seemed genuinely interested in caring for my little dog…an added bonus, he had a fenced in backyard to keep Westley safe. Westley was a happy pup when I picked him up!”

“Natalie and her husband took amazing care of my dogs!! They loved them like their own and sent me pictures and videos throughout the day showing me what they were doing. They walked them, fed them, played with them. They even picked them up and dropped them off because they knew we would be busy with our estate sale. I would highly recommend Natalie for all of your pet care needs! I would use her again immediately if the need arose!”
About: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away.

We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins.

“Loren took wonderful care of my Shih Tzu, Charlie. She did a great job of introducing her 2 big dogs to little 10lb Charlie. Loren communicated with messages and pictures throughout the day. Charlie was worn out and happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Loren again when I need care for Charlie.”
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”
About: I’ve always grown up with animals in the home, a home isn’t a home unless you here the pitter patter of those paws of the floor. Dogs are at the heart of my being and unfortunately you can only have so many. But the best way I’ve found to experience the love of all kind of dogs are through the caring for of everyone else’s four legged friend. I’ve always watched and cared for others animals off and on as a side income and personal enjoyment; giving all the love and attention they need while their human is away. All the way back when I was in high school, many years ago, I discovered the love and care for others dogs when I worked for the groomers and it’s never stopped since. My sweet Winter departed in 2020 after 13 long and steady years by my side and while I haven’t yet been ready to give my full heart away I’ve found great healing, giving lots of love, walks, baths, ball games, and lots of snuggs, All welcomed with love. After 10 years working in the field of Art Education and Public Art Coordination I decided to take the leap and start my business, Swift & Dapper LLC. Life is never one size fit all and too short to accept anything less that extraordinary whether that’s personal style or grooming, spacial reconfiguration or custom built carpentry, curated interiors or stunning professional services you have specific needs and you deserve nothing less than what you need and then some. S&D is happy to offer paw-fessional pet services. With a home based operations that leaves plenty of time for swing by visits or stay-cations for your special friend.

Fresh running water, soft comfy rugs and beds, and lots of fluffy blankets for those that like to snuggle up on the sofa for a movie. Our backyard is large and fenced in, ready for fetch and play time. We are used to having little furry ones (especially our neighbor’s little ones) wandering around and keep it in the front of mind always. Instructions for specific care are much appreciated and followed to the ledger.
“Paisley and her family were wonderful with Athena and very flexible with my work schedule. Super clean environment and I could see that Athena was very comfortable there. She was excited to go back the 2nd day, which is always reassuring. Will definitely hire again if the need arises!! Thank you!”
“Tonja was great! I sent my Maltipoo for the first time today and everything went well. Tonja sent pictures and videos throughout the day and was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!”
“Andrea kept my four month old pittie puppy for the day and took very good care of her! My baby nervous and not well socialized as she is still so young, but Andrea was very welcoming and put both my puppy and myself right at ease. I was very happy to receive lots of updates and pictures throughout the day also. Will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Morgan and her family were absolutely AMAZING to my sweet pup! You can really tell that she (along with her children) really just love to care for animals. I was very satisfied with everything, my pup had two days of “day care” when my work schedule was extremely busy & my pup was so excited to go back the next day and see her family. Thank you again Morgan!”
“Communication from the beginning has been fantastic! I was looking for a daycare weeks before I actually needed it because of a relocation and Rachelle and Christopher answered every question and addressed every concern. I have a challenging dog and she’s only ever been in one daycare in her life. She and her sister had an amazing time during their first visit. Driving from Greensboro is totally worth it!”
About: 3. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, and tailor my care accordingly. I also prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure that they are updated and informed about their pet's well-being while under my care. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe space to stay in. I provide them with food, water, and toys, and take them on regular walks or playtime. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routines and schedules as closely as possible and make sure to provide them with the same level of care and attention as if they were in my own home. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule enough time to feed, walk, play with, and care for pets.
About: I, absolutely, adore animals! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and kids! Maybe this is what prompted me to become a teacher... Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to home multiple rescued dogs and love them until the very end. I have about 15+ years of watching my pets as well as others' under my belt. I have experience with puppies, disabled pets, administering medication, active dogs as well as senior dogs. I currently do not have any animals or children so all of my attention would be on your pet! This is something that comes so easy to me as I am an avid lover of animals. I have a very flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and sleepovers based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have reliable transportation, which allows me to travel to clients’ homes easily and be flexible with scheduling. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, extended care, or an overnight stay, I’m happy to work with you to make sure they receive consistent, dependable care. I live in a pet-friendly complex with a beautiful courtyard that provides a great outdoor space for walks and potty breaks. While I do have a balcony, pets are never given access to it while in my care, and the door remains securely locked at all times. Inside my home, pets are welcome to get comfortable and make themselves at home—including on the couch! I understand that accidents can happen, especially when pets are adjusting to a new environment, and I’m always patient and understanding. For overnight stays, I do ask that you bring your pet’s bed or another familiar sleeping item to help them feel comfortable. They will never be expected to sleep alone and are more than welcome to sleep in my room with me. I’ve found that staying nearby can help ease nerves and make being away from home a little less stressful. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m completely comfortable with indoor cameras and understand how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for both your pet and your home. I will always treat your home with the same care and respect that I give my own. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.

About: Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet cuddles, I'm committed to providing any level of care and love your pet may need. I've been around dogs for most of my life, including breeds of all sizes from small Terriers and Pomeranians to large Hounds, Pointers, and Airedales. I've spent many years caring for my own pets, family pets, and other animals like chickens, donkeys, and horses through my experience in 4H. Those experiences taught me the importance of responsibility and treating every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to help you feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently available to provide drop in visits and dog walks at any time of day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and occasionally Sundays. Since I offer drop in visits and dog walks, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll closely follow any special instructions or routine you provide. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, cleaning up any pet related messes and accidents.

About: I retired from teaching 5 years ago and have been caring for pets in their homes, cleaning litter boxes and taking dogs out for exercise during that time. I have personally owned 2 large dogs well into their senior years. I have had cats my entire life and still have one. I typically take care of cats and dogs when their owners are away; feeding, administering pills, cleaning litter boxes, exercising/playing with dogs, and playing/cuddling with cats. I believe these visits have been the most rewarding activities of my life. As a retired teacher, I am flexible to care for pets any day of the week. I am also willing to stay overnight in your home and be your pet’s companion. I still have a cat of my own on whom I like to check at some point each day if staying nights at another pet owner’s home. Sometimes the owners I serve are away for 7-15 days at a time. I will send daily updates and pictures as well during your absence. I have been providing care for pets in the owners’ homes. I therefore water and feed the cats and dogs and administer pills, if needed. I clean litter boxes and tidy up, making sure pet hair, etc. is cleaned up. I get the mail and take out trash. I play/cuddle with the cats and exercise/play/cuddle with the dogs. I love to walk so I never get enough of walking dogs. I take extra precautions if dogs are anxious when I have to leave for a while, i.e., leave music or TV playing or do something special with the dogs before I leave. The dogs usually sleep in the bed with me and we become great friends.

I am available all week and have a flexible schedule because I work full-time from home. This allows me to provide full-time care, attention, and supervision for your pets throughout the day.

We live on 12 acres providing space for your pups to run and be active! We also have a Safe and Cozy home , We can provide toys, crates and anything needed to make them feel at home 💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I want every pet to feel like they are in a safe, calm, and loving environment while they are in my care. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and supervision while following their normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to create a comfortable space where pets feel secure, cared for, and treated like family. I always want both pets and owners to feel confident and at ease knowing they are in good hands.

“Maribel, is awesome! My Lexi is 24 very shy and timid. She did so well with the meet and greet, I knew stead in good hands when I dropped her off! She kept me up to date and Lexi bonded with her older dog Mol. Highly recommended!”

She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“We had to board Pickle for 2 weeks for an extended trip and were really worried about him due to a recent bad experience. But Jared and Sharon reassured us they would treat Pickle as their own and they totally delivered on their promise. Pickle seemed really happy while he was with them and they provided regular updates and photos throughout. Thanks very much for welcoming Pickle and giving him a home away from home, much appreciated!”

About: I have over four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including managing illnesses, administering medications, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Through this experience, I’ve learned to pay close attention to canine behavior and body language, allowing me to pick up on subtle cues about a dog’s comfort, needs, and emotions. I understand how to respond calmly in emergency situations and how to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s encouraging a dog to eat, maintaining their routine, or simply providing companionship, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and genuine compassion. I truly see dogs as family members and believe they deserve the same respect, kindness, and care that we give to people. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and understood while they’re in my care. As a therapist who works from home, I am able to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. My schedule includes regular breaks, allowing me to attend to your dog’s needs, offer potty breaks, playtime, walks, affection, and companionship without long periods of separation. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as multiple rooms that can be used to give dogs their own space when needed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, creating a comfortable, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. Most importantly, I will be home the entire time your dog is in my care, ensuring they receive attentive supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their stay.
