About: Hi my name is Joseph! I grew up in a veterinary hospital being surrounded by all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I have 7+ years of pet sitting experience for NC State Vet Students and Faculty and currently work for a dog boarding and daycare facility in the Noda area. My background has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, enrichment, and providing attentive compassionate care for every pet. I’m currently working Monday - Friday between 7am-11am (break) 2:30-7pm. On Saturday/Sunday the hours move around alittle but I remain to have a 3-4 hour mid day break for the opportunity to have midday checkups/care. My usual Check-in times when pet sitting have been 10-30 minutes before 6:30-7, 20-40 minutes between 11:30-2, and 20-30 minutes after 7:30. Depending on age, temper and health of the dog the visits can be rearranged for later or earlier visits if needed. With the circumstances of my apartment complex, I do in-house visit of my client instead of having the dog at my home. When arriving at my clients home, I like to first take the dog outside and make sure they use the bathroom. I will update the owner immediately if I see any issues with the pets stool (ie. Blood, Diarrhea, etc). After I like to feed depending on instructed time, or if no meal/ walk the dog around the owners yard or complex if possible. Before leaving I always make sure there is plenty of water and that at least one happy photo. Willing to administer medications in pill form. Also, will always follow clients instructions to a avoid any confusion or accidents.

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.

“Great with both our dogs and very friendly!”

Camil W.

“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”

Jill S.

“Kelly did a great job! She was able to arrange a last-minute meet and greet as I was traveling unexpectedly during New Years and did an excellent job with my two large dogs and 4 cats. She followed all of their care instructions and all of my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I am already scheduling my next booking with her, highly recommended!”

Megan M.

“Amber did an amazing job walking Gungi! She was reliable, friendly, and made sure Gungi got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell he was happy and well-cared for after their walks. I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

Tyler D.

“Sarah was awesome! She has a great rapport with dogs and plenty of patience”

Tom M.

“To say that Rachel will go the extra mile is an understatement! We left and forgot to double check our key box to make sure she could get in. She troubleshot the situation and made sure Freya & Zeke were cared for. She gave them lots of love and extra long walks. So thankful for her! Highly recommend Rachel!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits. I’m currently available to do walks or pet visits in the evening where I can then on a walk or even go to the park and play. I am also available to do boarding, walks, and home visits all day on Fridays and Sundays. I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.

About: My name is Shannon and I have a cat that I have had since she was a kitten and a large male dog I rescued from a shelter when he was one. I'm great with cats and dogs! I can watch your pets in the comfort of their own home. Will take your dog for walks, make sure they get some play time in, food, water and treats. Love animals and hope you give me the chance to watch your fur babies! Due to a permanent neck injury I cannot walk dogs that weigh more than 20 pounds or handle larger dogs that jump a lot. Definitely need to watch smaller dogs or well behaved large dogs that have a fence to be let out into. I'm pretty flexible so just let me know what you need and we can definitely work something out that will work for both of us! I will make sure to follow any instructions you leave for me and give your pet the love and attention that they deserve. 🙂 🐈‍⬛🐶 I've also watched bunnies, lizards, squirrels and raccoons. I've got a little experience with administering IV fluids to a senior cat and continuing to get more experience with that. Pet sitting is my full time gig so I am pretty flexible with whatever you may need for your pet. Just let me know what you need! If you have a fenced in yard I will make sure to keep an eye on your pet to make sure nothing happens to them while they are outside.

“Enzo has been a lifesaver! I have a VERY high energy dog - so much so that I ran 3+ miles with him every morning. That was until I tore my ACL - enter Enzo to the rescue! He was fantastic with our pup and working around my hectic home office schedule - and is just a great person all around. Do yourself and your pup a favor and hire Enzo!”

“Liz is the best and our pup loves her visits! Liz always goes the extra mile and we know our baby is in the best of hands!”

About: I have 19 years experience owning cats and 5 years experience caring for dogs. A lifelong animal lover I have been pet sitting for many years. It is the perfect job where you get all the fun of having a pet with none of the financial responsibility. My family of four in total owns 7 cats and one dog and I love getting to hangout with and watch my fur nieces and nephews. I work a regular 8-5 in the office in the University City area Monday- Thursday, and remotely in the Optimist Park area on Fridays. Happy to drop by mornings and evenings anywhere and afternoons in the University City area I always make sure to respect the animals and their space. I love an enthusiastic high energy pet, but also enjoy the calmness and tiny victories of love from shyer more reserved pets.

“Lindsey is so wonderful!! She is wonderful about sending us pictures of our pup on his walks. She is very friendly and warm. Highly recommend her!! Very trustworthy!”
