“Elissa is a true professional! She’s organized, has attention to detail, and most importantly reliable. She sent us thorough updates after each drop in visit with pictures that put our minds at ease knowing our babies were in good hands.

About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest, I will be there too. I'm currently working a few hours in the early morning so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special pet! I'm available for boarding on weekends starting Thursday night and ending Sunday night. I do not have other animals or children in my home, only an occasional g-child, so I can accommodate a pet with high needs. I also have room to crate a dog if needed.

“I cannot recommend Evelyn enough! She did an excellent job caring for my dog, Zeus. This was her first time sitting, and she exceeded all expectations. She was punctual for every check-in, never missed a beat, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. It was clear that she cared about making sure Zeus was happy and well taken care of. I had complete peace of mind knowing she was looking after him. Thank you, Evelyn, for your outstanding care, we’ll definitely be booking with you again in the future!”


“Dawn and Dan watched our sweet pup, Benji, for two weeks while we were out of the country. They did an exceptional Job with communication, and with showering Benji with so much love!!! They’ve become family, and I’m grateful for that!”


About: As a biology teacher, rescue worker, and pet lover I have experience caring for animals that some people have never heard of! We currently have a bearded dragon, a musk turtle, a Catahoula mix dog, and a number of fish. I love them all, and I’ll show your pets the same care and attention that I do mine. I am a full time school teacher and mother of three. If you’d like your dog socialized, I can provide socialization. If they need snuggles, snuggles abound here. If you have more than just dogs, we can talk about that, too! I know how hard it is to find people willing to care for critters that need live food, insects, a bit of hard work and more, so I'm willing to help where needed. As long as you can provide instructions, I'm willing to learn some new things too. I’m available evenings and weekends during the school year and all day every day (as long as I’m not on vacation) during the summer. Just let me know what you need! I have a fenced in yard and a dog-friendly large dog. My children are well trained in how to approach and introduce themselves to new pets.

About: Hi there, my name is Sarah! Im 33 and a mother of 3 boys, 2 doggies, and 1 kitty! Dogs must be ok with children my boys are 11, 7, and 5 and they love animals! I have 2 Australian Shepherd dogs who get along with other animals but can be separated if need be. I have helped many animals throughout my life and used to work as an overnight sitter in a pet hotel! Comfortable with every type of dog, big or small! I will care for your babies as if they were my own! Lots of care and love to give! Any questions, please feel free to ask! Someone is always home to care for your babies. I dont have a set work schedule so am home most days and the entire family is home every night I have a fenced in back yard where doggies can play and run and get all their zoomies out. My house is also quite spacious and they have plenty of space

About: I have been caring for other people’s pets and my own since I was a child. I own my home in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced in back yard. I have tons of room to accommodate your pets needs. I work full time M-F in Downtown Raleigh with a little bit of flexibility . I can usually do drop in visits and walks in the evenings that I work even if my calendar shows that I am unavailable I will try to work with you. I can board or house sit (or any other service) weekends. My 7 year old fur baby’s name is Bailey and she loves other pets. If your pet is staying at my home and you, for any reason, would like for your pet to be separated from Bailey that is completely fine I have the space to do that. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!!! I work full time so I am more available to give your pet the attention they deserve for boarding or house sitting during the weekends. I can do pop in visits or walks in the evening during the week. I have a fenced in yard and my friendly Beagle that would love to help keep your pet company. If you would prefer a crate I have one for your pet to use. If your pet is chewy, I would prefer to use the crate.

About: My main job is at a doggie daycare in NoDa. I also have a dog of my own that I have been taking care of since he was 4 weeks olds. I understand the need to have patiences and loving our pets unconditionally. I will treat and love your pets the same way I treat mine! As I mentioned my main job is at a doggie daycare but I am also a college student. So, while I may be busy with school or with my own pet I love to help other’s pets in my free time! As I mentioned, I believe it is super important to treat pets with unconditional love. It is important to make sure my mine pet and other pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own homes.
