About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I just graduated from grad school so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! If using boarding services, my apartment complex is very pet friendly and has a great dog park!
“Amanda was amazing! We needed to book a sitter last minute and over 4th of July weekend at that and she was so accommodating.

Will 100% rebook if we travel to Salem again, we had a great experience!”
“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”

I would definitely recommend Kalyn and plan to use her again for future stays!”
“Stephanie was awesome. I was nervous because it was Milo’s first time being boarded. She reassured me and embraced him right away. She sent texts during his stay and a picture to let me know how he was doing. When Milo returned home he was worn out!! He ran and played so much during his stay that he slept most of the day when he got home.He had plenty of space to run and play and was showered with plenty of affection. I appreciate Stephanie so much❤️. I would certainly book her again.”

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.

“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!”
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 both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱
“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.”

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.
“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!”
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.
“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!”
About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.
“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.”
“Rachelle and Christopher are so great with my girls. I can tell how much they love my dogs by how excited my dogs get when we arrive each week. Thank you for loving them like family!”

About: I have worked in the Veterinarian field for over 67 years. I love working with animals outside of work as well. I can assure you when your pet is with me, I will treat them as one of my own. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message :) prices can be modified. I currently work Monday Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Tuesdays I get off early. I will only take clients close to the area so that I will have enough time to drop in during luches I have been a Veterinary Assistant for over 7 years. I will show love and treat your pets as my very own. I absolutely love spoiling my clients!
“Talia and Austin were so sweet. After the meet & greet, my dogs were so excited to be dropped off for a daycare visit. They never even looked back! Talia & Austin sent me videos of my two pups throughout the day which was much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with 1–2 dogs in my household my entire life and have also cared for family and friends’ dogs many times over the years.

About: I was that kid who would sit in the middle of a chicken coop to play with my feathery friends. Lol I must say that I connect way easier to animals than I do humans, which is something I take to high regard. You can’t fool an animal..they know who you are the minute they lay eyes on you as they show you who they are with no filters every single day. My family growing up was not too keen on pets so I settled for birds and waited for adulthood to volunteer in shelters and later getting my cat (Olivia) and then 7yrs later, my Pup, Bizzy. I don’t have much experience in administering syringe related but already have a handful of experience administering oral. I work full-time as a college admissions counselor and live 10 mins away from the school. I walk Bizzy every morning at around 7:30 - 8 am then I usually visit home during lunch, then I walk her again after coming home and feeding them dinner. If your pet’s schedule is outside the usual, my schedule is flexible enough to make it work. I have a 2 bedroom townhouse with a baby door to use around the house, when needed. Whatever is needed of your furry companion, I will come through or let you know honestly if I can’t.
About: First time doing this on a professional app! I’ve been caring for pets for a couple years—both as a long-time dog owner and friend to similarly-minded friends. Recently, I’ve gotten into caring for reptiles and amphibians, including feeding and changing humidity when needed. I’m a college student, so although I have classes that will take up a few hours out of my day—they’re flexible enough to allow me the freedom to set my own schedule! I know that pets deserve the upmost respect! They are our best friend our siblings and children and I will treat them as such. Furthermore, I’m fairly athletic, so if you have a gentle giant or wild speedster, I’ll be able to keep up with them.

“Emily was a pleasure to work with! She was patient and gentle with my dog, who has never had a walker and was initially very scared. My dog visibly gained confidence as they went on more walks, as Emily took the extra time and effort to get her comfortable. I would recommend her anywhere.”
“We love Aundrea! She is not only courteous, professional, and prompt, but she goes above and beyond. Her sweet notes following a walk and pictures go a long way. I know she loves our pup and I cannot recommend her enough. We have full trust in her! I would rate her 15/5 stars if I could.”

“Kathleen was great with Nova -an immeasurable help. She easily developed a bond with Nova, calmed the high energy, covered a lot of ground in a half-hour walk. Nova shortly began perching on the sofa every morning with her head toward the door, watching for Kathleen.”
About: I had my first furry friend when I was 18 against my mom’s will and everyone knows how the story ends right?! Yes she was calling herself grandma after the first week. I’m married now and we have 2 kids, waffles and pancake, yes we love breakfast food.

I’m currently working from home full time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible! I can make most schedules work, or work with you to find the perfect timing! I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions you provide. During walks, I prioritize safety and make sure your pet gets the appropriate amount of exercise and stimulation for their age, energy level, and abilities. I’ll also provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, safe, and cared for—and for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I've got over 15 years experience pet sitting, dog walking, and working in kennel environments. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, horses, and everything in between! I have 3 dogs of my own who love to meet and play with other dogs. I have special experience and a soft spot for senior pups who may need meds or have other special needs. I will love your furbabies like they are my own. I work from home 3 days per week and usually have weekends off from my full time job. I have a fully fenced yard with a dog door so as long as your pup gets along with my dogs they will be able to roam my house and yard freely all day when I am home. My pups are a mix of active and lazy/cuddly. My yard is fully fenced with special care to block any would-be diggers or jumpers. Dogs are crated when I am not home or cannot watch them. For dog walks, I can accommodate meals and medications if needed along with let outs and walks.

“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!

“Ashley is terrific. Taking our dog to Ashley’s is like leaving our pet at home as she creates an environment that our dog loves. Abby always comes home relaxed, well rested, and happy. We know she gets good care. That is a REALLY good thing to be able to say. We endorse Ashley 100%.”
“Amanda was amazing! We needed to book a sitter last minute and over 4th of July weekend at that and she was so accommodating. Not only was she great at communicating and sending updates, you could tell how happy our pup was during his stay from all the pictures! Will 100% rebook if we travel to Salem again, we had a great experience!”
“If I could give a 10 outta 5 I would. I literally just rescued Daisy, my 1lb chihuahua, and already had planned a trip home to Ohio. I'm in NC for work, and my closest friend is 3 hours away. I was petrified to leave this new scared baby with a stranger.. We met Amanda and INSTANTLY LOVED HER! I got pics and videos of my sweet tiny tot, and Amanda's dogs were PERFECT FUN AND GENTLE. I will not look for anyone else while I'm here to watch Daisy unless it's am emergency or Amanda is busy..”

“Kalyn was amazing with my senior dog, Maci. Before her stay, we arranged a meet and greet, which definitely made drop off much easier as my dog was familiar with her home. Kalyn kept her over a long weekend and sent me pictures and updates throughout. She was always very friendly and responsive! I would definitely recommend Kalyn and plan to use her again for future stays!”
“Stephanie was awesome. I was nervous because it was Milo’s first time being boarded. She reassured me and embraced him right away. She sent texts during his stay and a picture to let me know how he was doing. When Milo returned home he was worn out!! He ran and played so much during his stay that he slept most of the day when he got home.He had plenty of space to run and play and was showered with plenty of affection. I appreciate Stephanie so much❤️. I would certainly book her again.”

I will only use her in the future.In addition, her pup Hero is amazing 🩷 and will assist in your pup adjusting in order to provide comfort and add to a loving experience.”
“Im so happy I was able to find Nelcy last minute to watch my dog Ally. The meet and greet was perfect and Ally went right into play mode.

I received text messages and pictures letting me know how Henry was doing. If I sent a text, I received a response right away. I will definitely book with them again!!”
About: As early as I can remember, I have had a connection to animals. Since then, I have surrounded myself with them, from dogs, to horses, cats, chickens, snakes- you name it! I have 15+ years of professional animal care experience, prioritizing animal welfare, top-quality care, and overall wellbeing. I am also a skilled animal behaviorist, currently pursuing certification with the IAABC. Additionally, I have competed with my personal dog in dog sports like FastCAT. I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication (oral or injectable), caring for behaviorally complicated dogs (separation anxiety, people reactivity, etc), or anything else your family member needs. PLEASE NOTE: I work full time, and I am out of the house during the following times: M-F: 7:30a-5:15p Sat & Sun: 6:30am-12pm Thanks for reading! Have a great day! I am currently most available on weekends, but can accept weekday care needs depending on your dog's needs. My available hours are as follows: M-F: 5am-7:30am, 5:15pm-8pm Sat-Sun: 5am-6:30am, 12pm-3pm I have a spacious fenced in backyard, and one very trustworthy and playful adult dog! Jinx is an absolutely wonderful teacher dog and friend. She gets along well with any dog, and will deliver fair, appropriate corrections if another dog is out of line. Your dog will have a new best friend and be treated like family in a clean, safe, and organized environment! When I am in your home, I am respectful, tidy, and I leave every space a bit better than I found it. I will follow your and your dog(s)' rules closely, ensuring a happy and low-stress time away for you!
“Being new to the area, we were looking for someone to board our older Golden Retriever during a night away. We found Christopher and Rachelle to be attentive and sweet caretakers, i felt he was in good hands. At the meet and greet they made sure our dog mixed well with theirs as well as asking about any other special needs requests. They are at the top of our list when we need to board again.”
