About: Since I was a young girl, I have been passionate about dogs. I began caring for dogs of various breeds when I was 14 years old. My family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their pets. Ensuring the safety and happiness of your pets is my top priority! I'm currently a full-time college student with more availability during breaks and from May to August. I am available from 8 AM to 8 PM, and my schedule is flexible; I'm willing to work with you to meet your needs. I ensure that I do everything I need to provide for the wellness of your pets. I will maintain healthy communication with all clients and work with them.
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who offers calm, reliable care. I respect each pet’s personality and bring gentle energy, patience, and joy to every walk and visit. I work a part time flexible job from home which provides me with plenty of time to care for pets during the work day and occasional weekends. I have an apartment with my own dog and cats we do not have space to host pets at this time. Will update if circumstances change.
“Jennifer was an excellent caretaker for my cat and provided me with notes and photos daily of all visits. She ensured I came back home to a clean space just like I left it. Definitely recommend her service for your pets needs. She has proven to be a trustworthy sitter for drop in visits and ensuring your needs are met.”

“Mary Molly did a great job watching our two cats for a long weekend. One is scared of other people but he's really cuddly with us. She got a pet after a few days which is good progress for him. Hahaha. Would book again.”
About: Hello! My name is Jess and I anyone who knows me will tell you that I really love all dogs. I am very active and would love to walk with your pup (or pups) for as long as they desire. I will spend plenty of time with them, whether that means playing Frisbee or mellowing out and cuddling with them on the couch, and make sure their needs are all taken care of. My fiancé and I have an adorable 9-year-old Carolina dog, and I've had family dogs throughout my entire life/roommates and friends with dogs that I helped take care of, so I really just want to hang out with your dog! My summer availability is very flexible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend :) I work in healthcare and have a couple of months off in the summer before beginning a new job! Plenty of time for pup walks. I will be able to tailor your experience to what you have available in your home. If you have a fenced yard I’ll make sure your pup gets lots of exploring time, and if not, I’ll make sure to give them lots of walks and exercise.
“Makayla did a great job of taking care of my cats. Always provided a photo and summary of how the boys were doing. Would definitely use her again!!”
About: I love animals and have always had dogs growing up. I currently have 3 pups of my own. I rescued 2 huskies when they were approximately 1 year old and have had them for about 5 years now. I also have a beagle mix, whom I have had since he was 8 weeks old, he is now 7 years old. They are all important members of our family. My professional animal care experience began when I was in college. I worked at a few doggy daycares during this time and over the summer after graduation. This was when I realized that taking care of animals who are not your own is honestly hard work (all cuddles aside). It is extremely important to understand that, just like us, all animals have their own personalities and preferences, therefore it is important to listen and understand them to ensure the best care for them. Some of my responsibilities at the doggy daycares & boarding included: -Managing safe playtime between groups of 10-20 dogs at a time -Arranging and implementing small group play or solo playtime for dogs who were lower energy and/or did not enjoy the large group play -Feeding & Filling up Water bowls (dogs & cats) -Cleaning up accidents (dogs & cats) -Bathing & Brushing -Cleaning litter box/changing litter -Cuddles (dogs & cats) -Rotating cats in & out of crates for individual play time with employees (or as preferred by cat/owner) I am currently only able to offer pet care Friday-Sunday as I do have a full time job during the week. My availability will be more open during the summer as I will be home more. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. How I care for your pet will largely depend on the information/preferences you provide and what your fur baby seems to prefer while in my care. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I do have a 10x10 in the backyard that can be utilized if your fur baby likes to catch a breeze and lay in the sun. Otherwise your pup will be able to stay indoors. I also live in a neighborhood that provides a safe area to go on walks without being on a main road with a lot of traffic passing by.
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep understanding of pet care, built on both personal experience and professional exposure. Having a senior dog who requires anxiety medication, I am exceptionally comfortable and skilled in administering medications and providing gentle reassurance to anxious pets. You can trust that your furry family member will receive the calm and attentive care they need while you're away. My background extends beyond typical pet ownership. My experience working in the quarantine building at the NC Aquarium provided me with invaluable hands-on exposure to the specific needs of a diverse range of animals, from reptiles and fish to birds and invertebrates. This unique experience means I'm well-equipped to care for even your more unconventional companions! Furthermore, having raised my senior dog from a puppy, I am confident and experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic youngsters to beloved seniors. My commitment to animal welfare is further demonstrated through my volunteer work at my local animal shelter, where I dedicate my time to helping animals in need. I genuinely love all creatures and am passionate about providing them with the best possible care. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, offering a consistent and attentive experience for your beloved companion. As a college student with a flexible schedule (typically around two classes per day), I have dedicated time slots throughout the day to provide the care your pet needs. My mornings are often free, allowing for early walks, playtime, and feeding. My mid-day break provides an excellent opportunity for check-ins, potty breaks, and extra attention. In the evenings, I have ample time for longer walks, cuddles, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable before bedtime. This flexibility isn't just about having free time; it means I can tailor my schedule to your pet's specific needs and preferences, ensuring they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. You can be confident that your furry friend will have a reliable and engaging routine while in my care. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to maintain their familiar routine and ensure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I understand the importance of consistency and following your specific instructions meticulously. My care includes: Following Your Instructions: Adhering to your pet's feeding schedule, medication administration, exercise routine, and any other specific needs. Potty Breaks/Walks: Providing timely opportunities for your dog to relieve themselves and get exercise, according to your instructions. Playtime and Affection: Spending quality time with your pet, offering cuddles, playtime, and attention to keep them happy and engaged. Home Security Checks (for house sitting): Ensuring your home is secure and reporting any issues. Regular Updates: Providing you with photos and updates on your pet's well-being so you can have peace of mind. Respecting Your Home: Treating your home with the utmost care and leaving it as I found it. I am dedicated to providing reliable, trustworthy, and loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.
