Sara was so welcoming to Tashi. She took him for walks and let him nap on the couch. He stayed 2 nights while we hiked in Zion. He was happy and refreshed when we picked him up. I highly recommend Sara and using this service if you are exploring the National Parks that do not allow dogs on trails.

Alana did a great job taking care of our two cats and dog. She kept us updated and I felt like I never had to worry about our pets while we were traveling. Our older cat needs medication and she did a great job administering it and making sure he was taken care of. We will definitely be using her again!

First time I used a house sitter to take care of our pets. Our cat needed a medication and Lillie got her to take it which is not an easy feat! Lillie is easy to communicate with and I felt comfortable leaving our pets and my house in her care.

Brooklin went out of her way to meet me and Sophie so she was prepared to watch and cater to her. Sophie took to Brooklin instantly! Sophie is big and sometimes reactive dog and I felt comfortable leaving her with Brooklin. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Brooklin to watch your pet!

Constance was an excellent house sitter and friend to my sweet Quincy while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures. She left my apartment cleaner than when I left. Thank you Constance for your care and attention! Quincy had a great time with you!

About: I started working in boarding kennels straight out of high school 13 years ago. I did that until I got into dog grooming 6 years ago. I’m looking to get back into the passion of caring for all sorts of dogs not just cutting their hair now that I’m home full time. I have experience in administering medication, and any special dietary needs. I have a two year old daughter, Laeton. She’s in daycare during the week periodically & My availability is pretty flexible. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies soon 🤗🥰🐶🐾 I am a stay at home mom, looking to make some extra money, i have stepped out of working a full time job to be home with my two year old daughter because daycare is unfortunately unreliable so , I'm home about 80 percent of the time. I will feed / water them twice a day walks 4x a day. I have a field beside my house , I live in the country. I am also available to pick up dogs and take them on walks , I’m all about taking pictures so I’ll definitely blow your phone up with pictures while your baby is in my care.

Brinkley is amazing care or our 2 pets at our house while we were gone for a few nights. She gave us updates and went above and beyond to make sure our energetic dog had all of his enrichment treats and toys. Not only was our animals taken care of but so was our home. We would recommend her to anybody!

Leigh was such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her we knew we had met the person that had the capacity and skill to care for our furry companions. Leigh communicated with us daily and she was great on letting us know her plan for each day. She took our dog Tig on several adventures and even took our cat outside for a look around. We could tell by the daily photos she sent that the animals felt very relaxed and cared for. Our house felt very settled and clean when we returned and it felt nice to come back and reconnect with the animals. I would highly recommend Leigh and I definitely plan on booking with her again. If you’re looking for a great person to work with, book Leigh! You will not be disappointed.

About: Cats just seem to know I’m “one of their people.” 🐾 I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages and temperaments — from playful kittens to wise seniors. I’m patient, gentle, and tuned in to their needs, whether that’s playtime, quiet company, or a little extra care. I’m also comfortable with the not-so-glamorous side of cat care: deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping food and water fresh, and making sure meds are given on time. My goal is always to create a stress-free, cozy environment so your cat feels safe and happy while you’re away. I work part-time with kids and in a coffee shop, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. If I can be trusted with little ones, you can feel confident I’ll give your furry (or feathered!) baby the same love, patience, and attention. I make time every day to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy — just like family. Whether I’m in my home or yours, my top priority is always your pet’s safety and comfort. I always ask about your safety policies, routines, and preferences so I can follow them closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys and safe walking routes. Every pet is unique, so I make sure their care is tailored to their needs while keeping their environment secure and stress-free.

Sasha kept us updated regularly while away - letting us know home and pets were fine; letting us have a relaxed trip away. House was clean and all in place when we got home and pets all happy and healthy.

About: Are you looking for some love and fun for your girl or boy while their loved one is away ! Can’t wait to see what this brings and the connections I am able to make ! I’m a full-time worker who recently moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina. While I do have a busy schedule during the week, I truly enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and exploring all that the area has to offer. I previously spent time dog sitting in the Atlanta area and had a wonderful experience building relationships with both pets and their owners. If you have a dog or other animal that needs care, I’d love to help! I’m available for house sitting on Saturdays and Sundays, and I can begin house-sitting stays after 5:00 PM on Fridays. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Now that I’m settled in WNC, I’m excited to continue providing dependable and loving care for local pets. With some local parks near it has been fun exploring.
