“Tom and Tiffany are great. They communicate so much and so well about everything from bookings to logistics to time spent with my sweet dog. I love that they typically send 3-4 pics even for a half hour walk. Highly recommend their services and so appreciate their caring nature.”

About: I've always been a part of a dog and cat family. From the overly excited puppy to the scared-of-everything cat to the adventurous elderly fur baby, I am excited to meet your very own fur baby and learn what makes them special. My own pets have a few needs of their own. I’ve trained my own dogs when they were puppies, administered meds (orally and with food mixing) and have sat for senior dogs. For Sanford pets, I am able to travel for potty breaks in the later afternoons on weekdays. Regarding overnight visits, I am able to accommodate late night and early morning visits. I'm ready to treat your fur babies to a special staycation while you vacation! My yard is partially fenced, and I have a houseful of my own so I am unable to board pet clients due to a sensitive older cat. Not all paws are on board, unfortunately. For any service, including drop in visits, I require meet and greets prior to the actual service. To best accommodate first time requests, let’s plan to meet within a week of the first visit. What’s one of your favorite memories with your pet? Does your dog have a best bud they like to run around with?
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the many years. Walked them, played, feed, bathed. When I was younger I would always take care of our neighborhood dogs. I’m currently starting my own business as a carpenter. But I enjoy spending time with dogs so I am only doing this for part time. I have a fence that is over 200 liner feet. I’m currently getting it ready for dogs to play in. I have one dog that loves to play he is very friendly. So they will get plenty of doggy playtime.
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a baby. My family has had mutts, vizslas, and hounds. I currently have two dogs myself: a black lab mix and a hound mix.

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

This allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feedings, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including early mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings, while ensuring each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if anything seems off. I’m experienced with administering medications, handling pets safely, and caring for animals with special needs. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine and preferences so I can provide consistent, low-stress care in your home. I’m very mindful about securing doors, using proper leash handling, and creating a calm, safe environment at all times. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same level of care, patience, and attention I give my own.

Jennifer was prompt and very sweet to both Buddy and me, always pleasant and polite and Buddy was always excited and happy to see her !!! I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for help with their pets and I will definitely choose her anytime to take care of Buddy.
