About: Hi, I’m Amy! I believe pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with kindness, patience, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet company, I’ll take the time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages. From meals and fresh water to walks, litter box care, and companionship, my goal is to help your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available weekdays, nights, and weekends. This allows me to plan walks, drop-in visits, and quality time around your pet’s usual routine, giving them the care and attention they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and familiar routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure, use a leash on walks, and respect your space. You can expect photo updates, clear communication, and plenty of patient, loving attention while you’re away.

“Rebekah was so calm, efficient, and kind with Ray. He warned up to her immediately, as though he sensed her heart and soul. In addition to her competence with Ray, she is extremely organized using a calendar, communicates well as needed, and it's just a nice friendly person to chat with. We felt extremely comfortable with her. As we camp for short periods of time this summer Rebekah will be our go-to person. We trust her completely to stay in our home and care for Puma our cat while we are gone. This is her primary job so she gives 100% and does not have other distractions.”

About: I started taking care of the family dog a few years ago. With him, I administered medication in a positive way and helped train him. I am comfortable using a harness and a regular collar. I also helped train my senior dog on his reactivity with positive reinforcement. Currently, I am on summer break. I work as a teacher during the school year, so my availability for the next few months is open. At my apartment, my roommate’s dog I take out every 2-3 hours and I give him lots of cuddles. I keep an eye out for anything around me to make sure it is safe.

About: Hi, I'm Natalie! I've been pet sitting for over 10 years! I love all dogs and cats big and small, nothing is too big of a challenge for me! I have two dogs, two cats, and had a sweet kitten who sadly passed from cancer way too young, so I can help with sick/special needs pets. I can do drop in visits, walks, in home care and house sit if needed. I am extremely dependable and have glowing references from long term clients (and their pets too). I would love to meet your pets and make sure they're well taken care of while you're away! I love sending picture and/ or video updates and I always reply pretty quickly. I am not afraid to ask questions when I need to and always have the pets best interest in mind:) I currently only work part time in the service industry (no long nights) so I have plenty of time to fit your pet into my routine:) I usually like to stay in a clients home if the pet requires overnight care since I have animals at home already! When I do stay the night, I make sure to follow the pet's daily routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while missing their owners!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

“Lexie was so great with Brinkley. She spent a lot of time with her and gave her lots of attention. She was really accommodating with the specifics of walking her and even took her to Brinkleys favorite park! The cherry on top was that she brought a package inside for us, talk about going above and beyond. I would highly recommend using Lexie to care for you pups. Brinkley can’t wait to walk with Lexie again 🐶”

I would love to help you in any way with your precious babies and keep your mind at ease. I do live in an apartment with my own cat and my daughter. Our apartments have a fenced in dog area but I would take them on walks on a trail so they would get real exercise, or around your neighborhood!

As an adult I have managed boarding kennels, worked at a veterinary hospital, and have my own pet sitting company, In Your Absence. I am a recent graduate with a master of science in animal science. I have also completed my B.S. in animal science. I am happy to provide care for your loved ones when you are unable to be there with them. I provide walks, vet visit/groomer transportation, and medical administration, in addition to general care. I provide overnight in-home care as well as visits only. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog and animal lover my entire life! I have had numerous pets of my own over the years. We currently do not have any pets in our home but are looking to add a new family member within the next year. My experience administering medication I am completely comfortable administering any medication or performing any procedures that may be needed.

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals throughout my life including, cats, dogs, and rabbits. I grew up mainly with dogs but I love all animals. I’m currently in school at Appalachian State University for becoming a veterinarian technician. But, I’m doing online so my availability is anytime throughout the week. I would keep your fur baby’s safe while pet sitting/walking them no matter what. I will keep your dogs close when other dogs approach in case of a bad interaction.

About: Been around dogs since I was little and offically took care of them when I was 8. Animals all around have been welcomed into my life whether they have four legs or not. Currently I am not working so it gives me more time to take care and play with your furry friends! I am available almost all hours of the day and can be contacted at anytime if in need of anything! I can easily bathe, clean, feed, brush, refill water for cats along with taking the time to play with them to ensure their daily enrichment for the day. For dogs I can easily help by simply brush, feeding, playing, being put into their crates, or even walking when needed to get their exercise and let them use the bathroom.

About: Hi! I’m Maria, or Ria for short. I’m excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I've loved and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life—including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, crabs, fish, and farm animals. These days, my heart belongs to my sweet Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I live in Kernersville and work in Winston-Salem. I work from home and in the office, so my schedule for playtime, walks, and feedings is flexible. I am very active, so I can provide your pet with plenty of walks and playtime! I am comfortable with both large and small animals.

About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. From a young child to current day, I've always had a pet in my life. I have cared for outdoor dogs, indoor dogs, fish, and snakes. I've also cared for and been around most ages of dogs from 8 week puppies to elderly companions. I love spending time outdoors with them, sunshine, snow, pools, treks, mud, or wherever. My two kids are in school so I'll have plenty of time for your pet. My kids are comfortable around pets so even after school, I'm still available for care. I'm also available to board any day or night of the week. I'm close to parks and Pilot Mountain trails. I have plenty of backyard space for you pet to run and even a ramp entrance for pets with mobile difficulties. I have a backyard space for healthy walking/running. I have plenty of toys to keep your pet active and cushions for relaxing. I have a crate available if needed. I also have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. My dog is allowed on all the furniture in the house and yours is welcome to join in for cuddles.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ranging in age and health. I have experience with elderly dogs, cats, and giving oral and topical medicine. As well as, taking care of multiple animals at once and balancing different routines. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to care for your pets in any capacity needed. I’m available for house sitting and multiple visits a day, to assure your pets safety and security. I have 5 animals of my own, so I know the importance of creating a safe environment and understanding boundaries of the client and animal. Checking in, paying attention, and giving how the client intends for me to.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have even trained a few of my own dogs. I’d be so happy to care for yours and give them lots of love.

About: As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! With 5 years of pet care experience and firsthand experience caring for both dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. I have experience caring for my own Miniature Schnauzer and multiple cats, so I’m familiar with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own and provide regular updates and pictures so you always know they’re in good hands! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m used to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they deserve. My work schedule offers flexibility, and I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is and will always communicate clearly about my availability! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own pets. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications when appropriate, and any special routines. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep their environment clean, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll send regular pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
