About: Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!! I currently work from home 4 days a week but work right in Fuquay on the 1 day I am in the office. My son is currently in preschool 5 days a week and my daughter in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus so just twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise more than able to walk between 9am and 3pm. But message me if times needed outside of that range and can definitely help out! I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I will not be offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!

“Kristine was great with our dog, great to work with! Would hire again.”

“Amber was amazing with our Elia and Snowball. She stayed in communication with me the entire time I was away. Our two pups adored her and we will be using her again in the near future. If you need an amazing dog walker and sitter, Amber is your lady!! Thank you again, Amber!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.

About: I've taken care of and trained many dog breeds - Westie, Sheltie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Maltese/Wheaton mix. I have extensive experience with senior dogs with chronic medical conditions and am comfortable administering oral medications if needed. I'm currently working part-time so I am very flexible and willing to negotiate services outside of the regular business day. I'm excited to meet your dog and make your life easier! As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of making sure your dog is safe at all times. I get to know each dog and they know that I care deeply for them and treat them as my own. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

“Evan did a great job walking Suzie. I recommend Evan”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: I have had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters, which has given me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I have also watched my neighbors' dogs for the past six years, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. In addition, I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, patience, and loving care. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and my kids are in school during the day, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. After dropping my kids off at school, I'm generally available from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention and companionship. While I do pick my kids up from school and attend some after-school activities, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, loving care throughout the day. In my home, I care for a two-year-old Goldendoodle, a pink toe tarantula, and fish, so I'm experience with caring for different of pets and their individual needs. My dog gets daily walks, is fed twice a day, and enjoys treats, regular grooming, and plenty of playtime both indoors and outdoors. I make sure all of my pets receive lots of attention, exercise, and loving care every day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normals routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and safe. I have watched my neighbor's' dogs on many occasions while they were on vacation or away for weekends. During those times, I visited their home about four times a day to walk, feed, play with, and give attention to their dogs. I also cared for their fish by feeding them and checking on them during each visit. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and love.

“Rebecca has been great with our dog. She has clear communication and our dog seems to enjoy his time with her. We will continue using Rebecca's services and recommend her to others.”

“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”

About: I don't remember at time that I didn't have a dog as a companion. They've always been a part of my family. Currently I have a long haired Chihuahua at home. Joey is 11 years old and going strong. Until this past April, I also had a miniature poodle that was named Shadow. Shadow and I were best friends for 17 years until he passed from old age. During his lifetime, Shadow was able to travel to The Bahamas and to Canada with me. I loved being with him. I know how hard it is to leave a pet behind, wondering if they're ok. It's important that you know they're well taken care of when you're away. I'll take care of them like they're my own.

About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether that’s an energetic puppy or a slower-paced senior. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. I prioritize a calm, structured environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is my strong communication and organization—I keep owners updated with regular photos and notes, and I follow instructions closely. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they get both the care and affection they’re used to at home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because my I work from home, which allows for a flexible and consistent schedule. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention throughout the day—not just mornings and evenings. I also have three active, hands-on kids who love animals, so your pet will get lots of interaction, playtime, and affection in a safe, supervised environment. Because I am home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and are part of a structured household routine. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, pets enjoy lots of supervised outdoor time in a large backyard, along with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I keep routines consistent with feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide to make the transition stress-free. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and environment as closely as possible—feeding, walks, play, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and secure. I prioritize attention, safety, and communication so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Kim helped me out at short notice, taking my high-energy dog on an hour-long walk on a hiking trail. He took to her the moment he smelled her, and had a great time with her. She asked pertinent questions before taking him out, and picked up the instructions for the e-collar straight away. I would definitely book her again.”

“Romulus did not want to go out in the rain so Evie took it upon herself to wait until the rain ended and gave him a wonderful walk”

About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet sitter with a passion for dogs and cats. I've been involved in caring for animals since high school, where I volunteered with a local rescue in my hometown. I've also worked as a kennel technician and a veterinary assistant, gaining experience with many different types of animals. In addition to my work history, I have furry friends at home, including three dogs and a cat. When your pets are in my care, we can on walks, play with toys, or snuggle up for some quality time. I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, and I know how to provide the best care for your furry friends. Let's make sure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away! I work from home and I have a fairly flexible schedule. If you are in need of care for your furry family member I would be happy to help if I am available. Currently, I am able to do drop in visit and walks. For drop-ins I can stop by your home and check on your fur-babies and provide any care they may need. This can include (but is not limited to) feeding, walking, medicating and scratches/snuggles. For each visit I will send you an update and a photo of your pet(s). Feel free to contact me if you have questions about the type of care I can contribute.

“Our dog loves Elena! She is flexible and reliable.”

About: I have always made fast friends with other animals easily and joyfully. Pets really are the greatest gift and I only ever hope to live up to that by providing patience, fun, kindness, and thoughtful care-taking! I have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for over 20 years. I take pride in providing the best care possible, being fully present to an animal and their needs, and providing the peace of mind to you that I would want when away from my pets. With pets of my own, I know what it is like to find someone who you truly trust and feel comfortable with - I hope to be that person. I have a flexible hybrid telework schedule that allows me to be available for care-taking around your pets' schedule needs. I will have the utmost respect for your pet and instructions. As for house-sitting, my husband takes care of all our animals so that I can be fully present to stay with yours! I am open and honest and will be available for any more information you would like to know! Thanks for considering me to take care of your precious friends. My work schedule is flexible and I work from home most days. On the days I go into the office, I am not gone for extended hours. I have plenty of time and availability for morning, mid-day, and evening pet care during the week. On weekends, morning play time is always extended, as is snuggle time, and longer walks if the weather allows - but we always spend a ton of time in the backyard, unless our guest prefers naptime on the couch. I take pet care seriously, especially with other people's pets. I treat the animals with the same respect I treat my own, and how I would want someone else to take care of mine. I want the pets I care for to feel safe and happy, and barely miss their owners. That means I am very intentional about their physical as well their emotional needs. And, honestly, I get so much joy meeting new pets and hanging out with them that I want the pets to feel the same way about me. I will follow their normal schedule for feeding, walking, and anything else you ask as part of their routine. I am also very communicative while taking care of your pet(s)! I will check in with you everyday to provide at least a picture and any updates. I take a ton of photos, and love to share those! I am also always available for you to reach out anytime and respond quickly. When it comes to your home, you will not even know I was there, except your pets are happy and well-tended to :). For boarding requests, we have two very friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats, they all really do get along and we like to keep a calm and harmonious house! Our dogs will play if the our guest wants to, and our cats are very gracious hosts :). We only board one dog at a time. Please do not reach out if your dog is not (small) dog and cat friendly, thank you! (Our previous dog, RIP, is still listed here, she passed recently and I cannot bring myself to delete her profile yet...)
