“Juli comes highly recommended, and we were pleased with our dog Lindy's first experience with her. Juli is knowledgeable and patient, which was so helpful because Lindy is shy until she feels comfortable with new people. We got some tips from Juli on how to help with this, which we appreciated. Thanks!”

So Steve never got to bond with my boys. They were fed and the litter box was cleaned. My house was in order when we got home. Steve is my new go to sitter!”
About: I have 2 cats and understand how hard it is to find a pet sitter you can trust. I often cat sit for friends, and love to spend time with their cats while their parents are away. I have experience with all different personalities of cats. I respect their boundaries, prioritize their comfort, and quickly become their friend. Even the shyest and grumpiest of cats have grown to like (or tolerate) me.
“Our kitty loved spending time with Dia which really put us at ease. She gave him plenty of attention, played with him, fed him, and cleaned his food bowl everyday. She was very easy to communicate with and always reliable. Dia was everything we had hoped for and more, and we would definitely welcome her back in the future!”
About: My cat is almost 7 years old. I love him so much, and I would have more cats if I could. I will take care of your cats like I would my own. I can brush, cut nails if needed, feed, play with, and respect boundaries. If your cat has any special needs or silly requests, I can meet those as well!
About: My lifelong love of cats began with my mom’s senior calico cat, Patches. She was far more patient than I deserved and rode around in that babydoll stroller like a queen. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to adopt and foster some of the sweetest, quirkiest felines. As a foster, my specialty is anxious personalities who need extra support to come out of their shells. I have experience caring for kittens, seniors, multiples, disabilities, and personalities big and small. Being away from furry family members is hard and I understand the excitement of that first scoop and snuggle when you’re back home. My goal is to prioritize your cat’s individual needs in thoughtful, consistent ways while maintaining as much normalcy as possible until they’re back in your arms. Thank you for your consideration (and your love of cats!)
“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.”

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.
“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!”
“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: I currently foster two senior hospice pups with a rescue and have always had a passion for caring for pets of all ages and breeds — from birds and fish to pigs and hamsters. I truly believe pets are an important part of any family, and my love for them is not just a job, but a genuine passion. With 30 years of service at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, caring for others has always been my calling. That dedication extends to animals, too. Now retired, I’m able to devote my full time and attention to providing exceptional care for your pets. II provide personalized care based on each pet’s preferences, whether that means walks, playtime with toys, gentle affection, or quiet companionship. I make sure your pet stays engaged, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. My home is clean and pet-safe, free of harmful plants or chemicals, and equipped with cameras for added security. I always follow each owner’s rules and routines, keeping your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority.
“Summer is Amazing! She's Awesome! Very careful and professional! She sent me detailed updates and photos of our pup daily. It was such a relief to know that my puppy baby was in good hands. She certainly treated him like a welcome guest and he was no doubt spoiled and cared for very well. My Royal is typically an anxious and cautious little boy, especially around new people and new animals. But he went to Summer's daycare for a few days and came home to me in the evenings happy and healthy. Knowing he was in good hands allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying while he was away from me. That feeling is priceless! Summer is a golden Angel! We can't wait to book a stay with her again!”
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!

“Jessica and her family were simply amazing. Such engaging, pleasant, happy people to interact with. Our dogs instantly connected with them when they arrived and they were snuggling with them on the grass when we returned to pick them up. Along the way they had fun, based on the pictures they sent us, hanging out with them and their two dogs. It was exactly what our dogs needed - to be stimulated with new experiences, make new friends, and burn off lots of energy - while their human parents had a day away. It’s very apparent Jessica knows her stuff when it comes to animals. Further, we took great comfort in them having a fully fenced yard so that we knew our dogs wouldn’t accidentally get out. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again or refer her to others.”
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, I'm Taz! I'm 25 years old and have over 6 years of experience caring for and watching dogs. I provide dependable, loving care for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My experience as an animal rescue volunteer and foster caregiver has taught me how to work with shy, anxious, and special-needs pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and stress free. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and companionship for the cats in my care. Being home also means I can closely monitor pets, stick to their regular routines, and give them the extra attention they may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home or mine, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection based on each cat's personality and comfort level. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, provide basic medications if needed, and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during each visit.
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.
About: I absolutely adore spending time and playing with dogs, and always make sure they are comfortable and their needs are being met. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, and have had many clients that I regularly dog walk/sit for. I am moving to NC in April and am excited to meet the new puppies there! I have open availability all day until the end of April. After that, I’m hoping to have a part time job and I’ll update my availability. I always follow the instructions given by the pet owner, and make sure that the pet is safe and happy wherever we are and whatever we are doing.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy. So she relied on me to make sure that her pup was happy. I love animals, I have my own and I make sure they get whatever it is they need even if it’s just cuddles. I am a college student, who is home for the summer and looking to earn some extra money. I currently do not have a job. I treat all pets with genuine love, gratitude, and affection. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment as well as the right amount of exercise.

“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.”
“Monica has come now several times to walk our pups. They are so happy to see her for their walks. Monica is very friendly and honest, She treats our pups as if they we hers. It is truly a blessing that we found her.”
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!

“Kiley was a lifesaver for us! Our usual dog sitter/walker couldn’t assist us and I was able to book Kiley on short notice. She went to our home and took exceptional care of our 7 month old Yorkie, Dash! I can’t say enough about how great she was with him. We received updates and photos which we were grateful for. Thank you Kiley! We look forward to booking you again soon. -John and Brianna”
About: I have been taking care of animals for about 14 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and so much more. I have experience with elderly dogs. I’ve had to give oral medication to my senior dog on a daily basis and I have knowledge of giving cats oral medication as well. I know how to potty train puppies if needed as well. I am very reliable, as well as very caring. I try to make your animal feel comfortable in a situation they might not understand. If needed I can bathe your animal. I currently work from home so if I’m boarding an animal I am available to walk them ever 1-2 hours for a small period of time before I have to go to get back to work. I would be home all day so I can give them so much affection and ensure they are feeling comfortable during their entire stay. I’m usually off at around 7 pm so after that I am available to go on long walks, play much more, take them to the park if it’s allowed and much much more! If I’m not boarding and it’s just a walk or a drop in or whichever service you need I am more than happy to put all my energy into this puppy!! I have too much energy from staying at home all day and plus, what better way to be more active than with animals!! When I’m caring for any pets I am very vigilant. Whether that be at my place or yours. I like to keep things clean so my house will be very organized and anything that they shouldn’t get into will be put away in a safe place. If your baby is staying with me I do have a cat. But she has grown up with dogs and I swear is more of a dog herself than she is a cat. If I’m at your home I am very respectful towards your home and your items. If anything comes up I will alert you immediately. You will find that I communicate very well and will send you tons of cute pictures of your baby when she is under my care
About: I have experience with all sized animals. I’ve had my dog Josh since I was 7 years old. He’s a small peek-a-poo. I also regularly dog sit for my brother who has a pitbull box mix and a cane carso. I do work a part time job. Monday and Wednesday 10am-5pm. Friday and Saturday 5pm-12am. These are the times I will be out of the house. I have a fenced gate which is a dedicated potty area. I have a small dog who is 12 years old he’s not violent but he will hide from other animals because he’s old doesn’t want to be bothered. I guarantee that your pets will never be neglected and I will follow every rule that is set for them.
About: I've personally cared for dogs for the better part of ten years. Ever since I met my heart dog Jake thirteen years ago, I have had a love and passion for pets. I currently am an assistance dog training minor at my university where I get to train future service dogs. This has led me to know how to properly care for dogs and understand their behavior beyond a surface level. I am excited to get to know and care for your furry family! I am currently working full time, so I am available for care Fridays-Sundays. I can do weekdays if that schedule works around your pets schedule. I am comfortable working in any home environment, whether there be a backyard or no backyard. If their are any certain circumstances, I am willing to work around them given I am told about them in advance.
About: I grew up with dogs and love to play and take care of them! Between both of my parents we have 9 dogs! I have always been great with animals. I am currently a student-athlete at Hollins University. Between class, workouts, and other extra-curricular activities, I am looking for something flexible. I miss having my dogs with me and I figured pet care would be perfect! It gives me the flexibility I need while also allowing me to take care of someone’s furry friend! My dogs are always fed, played with, and happy! I am willing to do whatever needs to be done to make sure your furry friend is taken care of!
About: Animals truly are a man’s best friend. They offer a kind of companionship and loyalty that’s hard to match—even with people. That bond between pet and owner is what motivates me to provide the best possible care for your furry loved one. I’m 21 years old and have had the joy of owning a golden retriever, a black lab, and three cats. As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds—including mixed breeds (husky, lab, Akita), Belgian Malinois, pit bulls, and more—ranging from playful puppies to slobbery seniors. I’m always excited to meet new breeds and personalities! I know leaving your pet behind is never easy, so my goal is to give every owner total peace of mind. You can feel confident that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I am a nursing student at ECU looking to spend some of my free time hanging with your pets!! When not here at school or pet sitting I work as a Student Nurse in a Neuro-Trauma ICU Unit at the University of Maryland Medical Systems Shock Trauma, as well as a Shift Supervisor at Chick-fil A. Here at school, I enjoy serving at and attending church, coffee dates, working out, long walks on the Greenway and fruitful time with friends!! I’m happy to fit any and every pet into my daily and weekly routine🤗 Your home is your space, I am just the guest so I can promise respect when I am visiting to take care of your pet. I’m happy to follow all rules and do my part to leave your space better than I found it. I am very reliable and answer my phone that way you’re able to have constant contact with me and I can accommodate your requests whether it’s taking pics with your pup or making sure the house is locked up.
