“Will definitely use Michael again! I hired Michael to watch our house and our dog while we went away for the weekend. He took great care of my house and would send us updates of my dog playing and having fun! Highly recommend Michael!”


“Nikki was awesome! She sent lots of pictures and updates. It was the first time leaving our puppy but she was great with him! What a relief to have someone dependable and responsible tj care for a member of our family.”


“Mae was absolutely incredible!! She went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our dogs were happy, cared for, and comfortable! She spent a great amount of time playing with our dogs and she also had excellent communication with sending us updates and pictures while we were away! Mae stayed in our home overnight for a couple nights to watch our dogs and she was extremely respectful of our home as well!! We have now found our go-to person with Mae and we (and our pups) 🐶 couldn’t be happier!”


“Ali surpassed our expectations in pet care! He brought experience and insight in regard to both our Senior dog and our puppy. Ali remembered so many details from our initial meet and greet and responded with great care to the notes we left detailing and updating the schedule to accommodate the developments with our growing puppy. Ali spent quality time with both dogs, treated our Senior dog with such respect and worked on potty and leash training with our puppy! Ali’s genuine interest in the deeper understanding of animal behavior is such a gift and we are truly grateful that he shared this with our family! We are already making plans for Ali to care for our home and pups during our next trip. There is no question that animals in Ali’s care are in the best of hands! We absolutely recommend his services!!”


About: I have had dogs since I was eight years old! When it comes to family and friends, I have had the opportunity to dog sit and care for their pets whenever they need! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and love to connect with all kinds of animals! I’m currently working a part-time job! I am available after 2:30pm everyday or earlier! I am also available on the weekends for the majority of the day! I have a fenced in backyard along with 2 large breed dogs who live with me! I live less than 10 minutes from a park that allows all breeds of dogs where I love to walk my own large breed dogs!

“Kyra recently stayed at our home and took care of our Bernedoodle and cat. She was absolutely fabulous! She sent daily pictures and kept us well informed, played with Bella and loved on Luna. We will definitely use her again!”


“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She even came to get them, sent pictures almost every day, was very responsive, and even dropped them off at our house. We got home and were greeted by them which was amazing. Highly recommend!!!”


About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

“Somyr was AWESOME with our two rescue pups. They are usually a little hesitant around new people but she took to them and they to her in no time at all. She was courteous, open to "our way of doing things" with the dogs and took great care of them. We would highly recommend her to our friends and neighbors and will seek her out for our next trip away.”



“Sarah was fantastic while housesitting and watching our three (somewhat needy!) dogs for a week! She was super communicative beforehand, sent me frequent pictures and updates while here, and left our house in a great state. I felt super comfortable with her watching them and would happily have her come back!”


“As previously, Bri was amazing. I knew my pups were in good hands while I was gone and could relax on my trip knowing Bri would care for them as they were her own. thank you !”


“Amy did such a great job watching my huskies and house! Communication was great and she goes above and beyond with things like making extra treats and offering to come back because our flight was delayed. My dogs were very happy when we got home! We will definitely re-book and grateful we found a great sitter.”


About: I am an avid animal lover and have owned and raised dogs of my own for the past 10+ years. I have experience with basic obedience, crate training, and housebreaking. I am an educator with a flexible summer schedule, and can provide drop-in visits in your home during the summer months (June-August). During the school year I am available evenings and weekends. I’m unable to do overnight stays due to needing to care for my own fur babies. I have experience caring for animals with special needs, am comfortable administering medications if needed, and have a soft spot for dominant working line dogs (I have a GSD and Belgian Mal at home). Any special dietary restrictions? Working on leash manners or other behaviors? I am happy to accommodate your pet’s every need, no matter how big or small! I will give your animals the love and care they deserve as if they were my own! Extra treats, cuddles, and belly rubs free of charge :) I am on summer break mid-June through mid-August and can accommodate drop-in visits, walks, play time, etc. I can fit care for my own personal pets into your scheduling needs! I’m not offering overnight care at this time. I will follow your pet’s routines explicitly! I appreciate detailed information regarding your pets needs for walks and potty breaks. Is your dog reactive on leash? Crate trained? E-collar trained? I can accommodate their needs!

About: I grew up with dogs, big and small, ranging from Shih Tzu to Siberian Husky and Rottweiler! I care about dogs and all animals and treat them the same I would treat any person. I understand that animals have feelings, needs and wants. I want to be able to help families with their animal care needs, so that you have no worries while you are away or at work. You will know that your pup is in good hands! I am here to make your pup happy, comfortable and safe while you're away. When stopping by your home, I will visit your pup 2-3 times a day, morning, afternoon and evening. During those visits, I will verify that your pup has food and water, is let out to do their business and go for a walk for at least 10 minutes. When dog walking, I will walk your pup for a minimum of 15 minutes and will make sure the dog's food and water is full. I will provide walks as long as the dog may need, care in my, or your, home and be patient with any special needs or potty training. I believe that animals should be treated in a positive manner and will do so when taking care of your fur baby! When dog walking, depending on the individual's ability, we will go long and short distance, walking and running. We will explore areas where the dog can play and enjoy his or herself. I'd be honored to help you and your fur baby. I work full-time currently, but can do early morning check ins, afternoons depending on location & evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I can provide the best care and love for your pup or kitty in your home and during check ins. I look forward to meeting you!

“Melissa was fantastic! She was punctual and gave daily updates. She responded quickly to messages and treated my 3 cats amazingly. She gave two of my cats medications daily. She treated the house nicely and kept the litter boxes clean. I would definitely book with Melissa again!”


About: I have taken care of friends, family, and neighbors pets for as long as I can remember! I love caring for and helping animals while owners are away, from watching them to checking in on them. I am currently a student at Sandhills and have classes from 8-4 Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, and classes 12:30-3 mondays and Wednesday’s. Any other time I am available! I make sure if pets need to go out fences are closed and secure, while walking I will pick up excrement, and care for your animals as if they weee my own!!
