Dog Sitting Wake Forest

“Bri is fantastic! She sent lots of pics, filled up our water bowl, and showed our pups so much love. We’ll be relying on her for all of our future puppy drop-in needs!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals (mostly dogs and cats) since I can remember. Growing up we were always the house on the block that our neighbors would bring found animals to, and we'd take care of them until we found their home or our home became theirs. I have always had pets in my life and have been a dog/cat sitter on and off since high school. I bring a calm energy when being introduced to new animals so they don’t feel threatened and we start off on a good note 🤗 I do have a cat, so I will need to go home during the day for an hour or two to feed and play with them a bit before returning to your place. I work remotely so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of elderly dog/cats (deaf, blind). Anything specific your pets need, I'll be sure to follow your guidance!

“10 stars would be perfect! Katie was on time, sent lots of updates and took great pictures of our cat every day. We didn’t have to worry about her once because we knew she was in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive professional and personal experience in pet care. I previously owned and operated my own pet daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. In addition to running a facility, I’ve spent many years caring for my own pets, as well as rescuing and fostering animals in need. Working with rescues has given me experience with shy, anxious, and high-needs dogs — and taught me patience, structure, and how to build trust. I’m comfortable administering medications, managing feeding schedules, supervising play, and maintaining consistent routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every animal like family. I am able to accommodate morning and evening potty breaks, playtime, walks and meals as I do have a full-time job where I will be gone from 7:30AM to 4:30PM Monday through Friday but I have large kennels available if pets are needed to be crated and a designated dog room where they can be left out comfortably. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. My home features a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor play and is located in a sidewalk-friendly neighborhood for safe, structured walks. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, and I always conduct slow, controlled introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Feeding times are handled separately to prevent food guarding or stress, and crating options are available if requested or if a dog feels more secure with their own space. For additional peace of mind, I also utilize camera monitoring when needed to ensure safety at all times. My goal is to provide a calm, structured, and cozy environment where every pet feels safe and cared for.

“paulina did an amazing job watching our kitty cat (spooky) while we were away! she was very detailed-oriented, sent thorough updates, adorable photos, and had excellent communication. when we met at the meet and greet, spooky walked right up to her! when we got back from our trip, our cat seemed super happy and well-cared for. it definitely seems like spooky has made a new friend :). we are very thankful for paulina keeping our baby happy, healthy, and entertained while we were away!”

“Erin went above and beyond with my pets when I was in the hospital. She walked my dog every day, sent pictures of my cat and dog, and she even vacuumed my house and took out my trash. She checked up on me when I got out of the hospital. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Carol is amazing and our boys loved having her visit them. She is prompt and gives great updates after her visits. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Alyeska was awesome! We had a senior dog with very specific needs and she did very well with him. She also made friends with our two kitties which was awesome as well. I would recommend her to others without question.”

“Keagan was excellent with our two pups Bandit and Lil Man. She did exactly what we asked of her. I loved the photos she took to always assure us the boys were doing well. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Wish we could give her 10 stars. The boys loved her! *We did leave a cash tip*”

“Eleanor was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our cat, Perry, while we were away at the beach. She was so flexible and gracious when there was a mix-up with our address, and she handled everything with such kindness and patience. Perry adored her, and we loved how attentive and communicative she was throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since my early teens. I have a strong passion for dogs and love to care for them. I am very accustomed to dogs with behavior issues and bad anxiety because my own dog struggles with that. I can also handle both small and large dogs. I love taking my dogs on walks and also occasionally will find an easy trail to hike on with them. I would love to bring your dogs on nearby trails or stick to easy walks based on the dogs energy levels. I do stay overnight and house sit if requested. I’m currently working part time (short hours 2 days a week) so i’ll have plenty of time to play with and look after your pups! I unfortunately cannot care for your dogs at my own home because one of my dogs is not friendly towards other dogs, but I am more than happy to watch your dogs at your home! I can stay overnight with your dog if requested.

About: I was born an animal lover and have loved caring for them since I can remember. I’ve helped pet sit for many friends and family for years! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I would LOVE to help more people with their sweet pets in the local Wake Forest area. I’m a stay at home mother and homeschooler to our daughter, and have lived in WF since 2020. I’m looking to help bring in some extra income to help our family. All animals deserve respect, kindness, love and dignity and I would be honored to help you care for your loved ones at home however I am able. Animals bring a wealth of joy to my heart! We have a 2 year old cat and a 15 year old chihuahua/terrier mix at home that I have had since she was 1 month old. She is now blind and in kidney failure, so I am experienced with caring for senior pups as well as puppies and all those in between. I know the stress that comes when planning to leave town and needing to plan for your pets to be taken care of and loved on. It’s stressful and can cause anxiety, especially for those that have special and more unique needs. I would love to help relieve some of that stress and anxiety for you if I can! I’m a stay-at-home homeschool mom to our daughter and have a flexible schedule. We live near downtown Wake Forest which enables me to easily pop over when I need to! I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats including our own cat and senior dog at home. I know what it takes to care for animals well and I am naturally wired to go beyond expectation when caring for animals. They bring me so much joy and comfort and I would count it a privilege to care for yours.

“Ozlen honestly became apart of the family. She loves the girls like she’s known them forever! She is so caring and neutering. I don’t know what I would do without her!”

“Kaela was great! My cat is a little shy around new people but warmed up to Kaela very quickly. She took excellent care of my cat while I was away and sent detailed updates and plenty of pictures.”

About: I’ve been around cats my whole life, but in my teenage years I started bonding more with dogs—and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve had several dogs over the years, and my current pup, Johnny, is wild, playful, and full of energy. His best friend is a Great Dane three times his size, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and fun they need. I have a flexible job that allows me to fit pet care into my day easily. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week and can adjust to your pet’s routine. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I treat your pets like my own. I make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. During visits, I’ll follow any specific instructions for feeding, playtime, or medication, and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. When walking, I keep them on a secure leash and adjust the pace to match their energy level, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority every step of the way.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. Professionally, I have nearly 9 years of experience in the pet care industry, including working at a veterinary hospital and currently serving as the General Manager and Co-owner of a dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and training facility. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m experienced in administering medications, including insulin injections, oral medications, IV fluids, topical treatments, and more. Whether your pup needs extra medical attention, a structured routine, or simply lots of love and companionship, I’m happy to provide the care that’s best for them. Every pet is unique, and I believe in treating each one like they’re part of my own family. From long walks and playtime to belly rubs, booty scratches, and plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved. My goal is to follow your routine and preferences so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work full time managing/co-owning a dog kennel, but I work early mornings until about 1pm and create my own work schedule so can be flexible! I love every dog that I meet and care for like they are my own fur babies. My dogs personally are spoiled brats and I feel like that is the only right way to dog mom haha!

About: They are loyal. They are loving. They are essentially the perfect being. I am all about my dogs, and have two at home, a 14 year old Pom with chronic health issues I’ve had since college, and a 4 year old golden who is great with my boys. I am skilled with medication administration, and love going on strolls with the doggies. My Pom has his own little quirks, and every pet is unique. I will work with you to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! (I am an RN who recently had a human baby). I will work with you to ensure that your wishes for your pet are followed and that you both are happy and comfortable with me.
