About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!

About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family. Have experience with cats, puppies , small / medium and senior dogs. Have also boarded small dogs in my home. I am retired and available anytime for pet sitting, boarding or small/medium dog walking. I can also care for your cat, or other small animals I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly 9 month old puppy at home. I can also crate your dog if desired .

“Taylor was fantastic!! I needed a last minute savior after my normal person backed out and she was there for us. Great communication and was great with my big fur baby. I plan on using her whenever I need someone from now on.”

About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.

“Macy did a fantastic job with Daisy! Her communication was excellent, and she kept us informed so we always felt confident that Daisy was happy and well cared for. Macy is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. We highly recommend her!”

About: I love all animals. I have 2 dogs an American Terrior pit and a shihtzu. They are almost 3 years old and a senior. I have watched my friends animals while on vacation or emergencies. I do have references from them as well. I will care for your babies like I do mine. My dogs get along with other animals even cats. I have a large fenced in backyard that I play with my dogs in with there ball and other toys. I love to play with them and will have a small pool for them to play in while I’m outside never left by there self outside. I’m very protective over animals insuring to keep them safe. I have a set schedule in the morning from 5-6am letting dogs out to go potty and run in my fenced in backyard. Then feed them from 7-8am and feed again around 4-5pm. They do get snacks in between that time. I give my babies slamming skin treats and other treats for dogs only. I have a large fenced in yard and I’m always outside with my babies and anyone else babies to ensure safety. As well as playing with them outside.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always taken care of them. I just started pet sitting this year and look forward to doing it on the side when I’m not playing soccer! I am home from school for the summer so my availability is very free and flexible! I am a college athlete playing soccer so aside from my daily workouts I am always free to help make your day easier by spending some extra time with your pets!! I am there to help in any way possible with taking care of your pet whether that be dropping in for a visit or walking your dog.

About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs as well as being a trained canine handler. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I used to work at a dog daycare and have been trained heavily with dog behavior. All dogs will be allowed to run around and engage in supervised play unless they are not dog friendly. All dogs will be cared for on an individual basis, because each dog has different needs and behaviors. I am also able to take dogs that have special needs medically or behaviorally. Dog owners love that I do not discriminate against certain breeds or behaviors dogs may have. I am able to plan their stay so that the dog has as much fun as possible with the least amount of stress as possible! I am also an AKC certified dog trainer I currently work from home so I am available almost all day during the week and most weekends. I have a flexible schedule so I can move things around to accommodate most requests. I love to go on walks and get energy out. A tired pup / cat is a happy pup / cat. I also love to cuddle and hang out if that matches the personality better.

About: I’ve worked with animals ever since I was 15. I would take care of my neighbors, friends, and clients dogs or cats. Use to work at an animal hospital and also a boarding/daycare facility. I learned from working there how to administer medications. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule therefore providing lots of options for you and your furry family members! I have always had a deep passion for animals! I have a dog and a cat at home that I adore. Both my babies are rescue pets. I enjoy working with both my dog and my cat on training them to do new things.

About: We have had 7 cats and five dogs total. We currently have one cat and three dogs. They make my life happier, love them lots!! I am currently a housewife, but would like to find something that I would love to do on the side to help out with financially. Our three dogs are inside, but crated, and we go outside at least 10 times a day and walk, run, and play. They love it!

“Jen was fantastic! She took our lab Derek for a walk everyday and even trained him how to walk while on a harness. Something we hadn’t been able to do for years! Very accommodating and when we needed her to come by an extra time there was no hesitation to help us out. If you need someone to help out with your dog while you are away , you will not find anther person more caring, loving or helpful with your “Rover” than Jen!”

“My dogs loved Francesca C! They enjoyed their walks and I had peace of mind knowing I had an experienced animal lover with my boys. If she is available the next time I need a dog walker, I will contact her first.”

“I have never been more productive and Max has never been happier since Jackie started walking him. After his walk he takes a nice nap which enables me to get my work done before we have a ball break. My high drive working GSD is worn out after his walks and I’m ecstatic!!!!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. I currently have 4 of my own and treat them as children lol. I currently don’t work a lot so I have plenty of time in my day to assure your pets are getting the time they need. I will make sure your pets are in good hands I will be watching them ensuring their safety first. while also making sure they have loads of fun!

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I am a veterinary medicine scientist at NCSU vet school and I currently care for a variety of livestock on my small farm in Selma, NC! We have horses, chickens, a hermit crab, and a sweet rescued dog named Ladybug! I love spending time with animals and will care for your animal just like my own! I have worked with a professional dog trainer and understand basics of leash walking and basic obedience. I am professional and on-time with appointments, attentive to detail, and highly organized. I have had pets my whole life and worked with animals professionally for about 18 years! I also volunteer with the Wake County SPCA when my schedule allows and passionately advocate for local rescue groups! I work full-time as a scientist who primarily works remotely so my schedule is very flexible during the week and weekends. I also ride horses locally! I only accept 1 client at a time, so your pet will get all the attention they deserve! I am an attentive care-taker for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, livestock (horses, goats, sheep & cows) & birds (parrots & poultry). For pet-sitting on my property your pet will be allowed full access to my home away from my personal pets (I keep my personal animals quarantined in a separate suite within my home when we have visitors) and also have access to our large yard for potty breaks & outside time when weather allows. We also have a large fenced in area for outside playtime when the weather allows!

About: I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with Johnston County Animal Protection League with my mom since I was 12 years old, fostering animals, helping vaccinate, and providing care for dogs. I have worked with an abundance of all kinds of dogs, including those who are dead and blind. Having 8 of my own, I can handle almost anything :) I'm currently taking online classes, which gives me a lot of free time that I'd love to dedicate to taking care of your animals. Whether it's dog walking, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I’d ensure your pets are well-cared for and happy. I am available to make multiple visits per day to care for your pets, including feeding, letting them outside, and taking them on walks. I will also ensure any messes are cleaned up promptly. During my visits, your pets will receive my full attention and care, ensuring they are comfortable and well taken care of.
