“Judy was very prompt and kept us informed about her time spent with Bella. Judy tended to everything we requested and sent photos when she was done. Bella was content and happy when we arrived home! Thank you Judy we hope you can help out with Belka in the future.”
“Valerie did an amazing job checking in on our two labs while we were camping. We had a few days when we could not take the dogs with us on our adventures, so we are thankful we had someone take of our fur babies for walks, to water them, and interact with them. She took pictures during each visit for us to see how they were doing. Our fur babies were well taken care of during these check-ins, and we will definitely use Valerie next time we camp in the area.”
“Kerry’s communication is great and dis a great job with my two cats their specific dietary needs. When we got home the cats were happy to see us but not desperate or clingy, indicating they were well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Heather was on time, and took good care of our pups while we were at a wedding. We are from Indiana so it was stressful to leave our dogs in a rental for 6+ hours. Heather helped alleviate that stress by coming and taking the dogs for a walk, playing with them, and feeding them during the wedding. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“Terri is a great kitty sitter. Communication was two way and the pictures of two of three cats gave me much peace. Mondo Mon, our third cat hid from her all seven days but he was the first to greet us at the garage door. Happy as a clam to see us. Usually all three sulk for a day or two when we get back from a trip, but they all acted like we had been gone for a short time. I would highly recommend Terri and would definitely have her sit for us again.”

“Margaret was awesome. She was available for a last minute request to care for my fur baby while my family went on vacation. Little Jeri was not feeling well, and I felt it better for her to stay at home. I was nervous to leave, but Margaret gave great daily updates and pictures to help ease the anxiousness. She provided medicine, food, treats, water and love and even cleaned some not so pleasant litter boxes and accidents. I would definitely recommend her for any other pet parent.”

“We were in town for vacation and found Stefanie to drop in and take care of our two senior Shih Tzus for walks and feedings for one of the days. She communicated clearly and regularly, which made it a great experience overall. This was the first time I’ve ever left my dogs with someone I didn’t know, and I felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!”
About: I have never known life without at least one dog in my household. As an adult, I have raised two dogs from puppyhood and two cats from when they were kittens, as well as day check ins and walking for other friends and family pets. While I have no formal pet training, I have read plenty of books in preparation for my own dogs and their training. I am currently a stay at home wife, so my schedule is very flexible! I am an early riser and can come later in the evenings if needed I treat all my fur clients as if they were my own. I can text photos or videos so you can see how they are doing as I provide food, walks, snuggles, and love when you’re away. If possible, I would prefer a meet and greet before any service for the pet to get to know me and for myself to get to know them! Also if needed, my car is set up to travel with pets, as my own dogs love going for car rides
About: I have taken care of dogs all sizes and breeds. Over the past several years, I have volunteered assisting a local dog trainer with duties such as walks, feedings, baths, and transports. I have monitored a group as large as eleven dogs at one time. Friends and family have relied on me to ensure the safety and happiness of their pets when in my care. I ran a successful pet services business in south Florida which offered pet sitting, adventure days, drop-in visits, transports and grooming. I am the current caretaker for boarding dogs at Lovin Care Pet Grooming and Boarding in Murphy, NC. I am currently available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after 6pm, with open availability on weekends. Weekdays before 6pm may be available upon request if given reasonable advanced notice. Understanding that every dog is different, I will treat your pet according to his/her needs to assure a great, trusting relationship. Whether your dog is shy and takes a minute to warm up, or wants butt scratches and a fun game of fetch, it is my goal to build a bond and keep those tails wagging :) Safety is also an important factor, and I ensure that pets will be leashed when walking, gates/crates will be closed when necessary, and feedings will be administered as directed.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since i was little! I also do pet photography some so know how to control animals when they are crazy! I am currently working part time and doing school online, so I have tons of free time! I am okay with going once a day or 5 if you need me too! I love a fenced in yard but if there isn’t one, i will always leash the animal to ensure they don’t run off! I want to make sure the animal is happy and having fun!
About: I raised a puppy from 4 weeks old. I also have a cat that I raise and have been raising since she was less than a year old. I have a stay at home job so I am available anytime you need me day or night! So I am very flexible with your schedule and what you need. I offer any service cause I have open availability and can work around your schedule and availability. I also can travel to your home if you need me to.
About: Hey there! My name is Hannah and I’ve been caring for pets big and small for as long as I can remember! I’ve been doing house sitting and dog walking for 5 years now and I’ve loved every second of it! I’ve handled animals as small as kittens to as large as 4 year old Great Danes! In my own words... the bigger the animals the sweeter the heart! I will provide up to date pictures for you as needed and any type of pet care I can also provide for the animal/s as well! I am super excited to get to know you and your sweet furry friend! Dm me for details and please feel free to let me know if you would need any other type of care while I am looking after your animal! I am currently in between jobs as I am training for a new opportunity and am available most days! I would love to assist in watching over your four-legged friend :) I am an animal lover through and through. I love playing with the animals and taking them on walks or runs around my community or neighborhood!
