Hi! My name is Colleen, I
am originally from upstate New York but call
Raleigh home as I have spent most of my life here. I am a total
animal
lover and have been ever since I was a kid. I have a pitbull-mix
named
Africa who manages to put a smile on my face everyday! She is in
the
photo with me. I love going on long walks with her and playing tug
of
war or fetch with her endless collection of toys. She is great
company!
I have my bachelors degree in Psychology and plan to go back to
school
in the near future. In my free time, I love being around my
family,
making jewelry
TreeRoundDesigns, and doing yoga.
My goal is to give your pets the best possible care and tons of
love,
while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your fury
friends in the future!

My name is Monica,
I love being outside, and try to live a happy, healthy lifestyle.
I have had pets pretty much all of my life. I had two small
poodles at different times during my childhood, two parakeets, and
my mom got our first cat in 2003. In the late part of 2007, I
adopted a cute little stray black cat her name is Lola, and she is an adorable,
sweet, and VERY talkative cat. A few weeks later at a visit to
the vet, we found out she was pregnant, and while I found homes
for her other kittens, we kept one. He is a male gray and black
tabby named Linus. Lola is sweet, docile, and a little skittish
around people at first. Since I got her fixed, she has gotten
over some of her skittish behavior and craves attention! Linus is
also very sweet, and very mischievous! I love animals very much, and consider
these two little tykes to be my “children.”
I have taken classes with the
University of Maryland University College where I am majored in Computer Science
and also Wake Tech
where my focus was in Criminal Justice and Forensic Science.
Been employed with Raleigh Pet Sitters since October 2009

Jill respects the uniqueness of each animal and will provide the
personalized attention that each Four Legged Fur Client
deserves.

amazingly entertaining notes about your fur-kids.

holiday spirit

Jill has a bachelor of arts degree in psychology from the
University of Hawaii.

working toward a graduate degree in social work. With my
schedule pet sitting became the dream job for me as I love being
around animals and their unconditional love.

Pet Sitter / Mid-Day Dog Walker
Services Cameron Village, NCSU, Oberlin Rd,
Canterbury, St Mary's St Area, Boylan Heights, Five Points,
all of the Downtown Raleigh/Glenwood South Condos
My name is
Jess, I am originally from Richmond
Virginia, but I’ve been living in North Carolina for the
last 16 years. I spent time in both the eastern and western
parts of the state, before moving to the Triangle in 2003. I
have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from UNC-Chapel Hill. I
later went to grooming school, became a pet stylist, and
managed the Brier Creek Petco grooming salon for 5 years.
Now I’m working on my Master’s degree in Environmental
Policy from American Public University and am spending some
quality time at home with my 2 babies, a silky terrier named
Oso and a cat who is affectionately known as Archie.
I’ve had a passion for animals for as long as I can
remember. When I was kid, my parents would rescue any hurt
animals that they found. I got to help nurse birds,
squirrels, and chipmunks back to health throughout my
childhood. I’ve volunteered at numerous shelters and
sanctuaries for many years, including the country’s largest
sanctuary, Best Friends in Kanab, Utah.
I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, snakes, lizards, birds, and fish. I look forward to making many more furry friends working for Cindy as a pet sitter!!

Stephanie
Pet Sitter / Mid-Day Dog Walker
Services Glen Eden, Ridge Rd, Oberlin Rd
/ Cameron Village Area, Crabtree,
Five Points & Hayes Barton neighborhoods as well as the Downtown Raleigh
Condos & Apts
My name is
Stephanie and I have lived in Raleigh for 14 years. I am originally from Fayetteville, NC, and have lived in Greenville, NC as well. I am a single Mom of one son, Noah, who is a senior at Needham Broughton High School this year!I have two other babies as well; Mister and Nem, they are brothers adopted from Wendell, NC. Mister is also known as "White Whisker Of Wisdom", as he has one singular white whisker that appeared when he was a kitten after a thunder storm. This is true! How that happened I'm not quite sure, but it did. He is a little frightened of thunder. Nem on the other hand, is not afraid of anything. He is a character, and definitely has 'the cute'! He likes to jump up to meet your hand for pets, which is just about the cutest thing ever!
I grew up in a household with many pets, my Mom is a true dog-lover and she passed this wonderful trait onto me. When I was younger we had bigger dogs, and as my Mom has aged her dogs have become smaller. So, I have experience with all sizes and shapes. Growing up, I also volunteered with her at the SPCA, which was a great experience! Thank you, Mom! I have always had dogs, but where I live now, I'm unable to have them. :( One day again, though. I also have experience with reptiles; snakes and iguanas, as my ex-husband owned these. So, if you have reptilian pets who need care, I am able to care for them too!
I am also a Licensed Esthetician (skin-care therapist). At this time, I freelance in that field, but have worked in the spa industry in the past. I have a passion for caring for others, all others; human and animal. I look forward to meeting your babies and you! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your, and your pet's, lives. :)
Ariel
Pet Sitter
Services all of the Downtown Raleigh Apt &
Condos, Glenwood South, Wade Ave, Hayes Barton, Five Points
and the Oakwood / Mordecai Area
My name is Ariel,
I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, where I was pretty
much raised by animals! My family had horses, cockatiels, guinea
pigs,
and, of course, several dogs and cats. During high school, I
worked in
Lexington as a veterinary assistant for a small and exotic
veterinary
clinic, so I have experience in care for anything you can imagine
--
from reptiles and rodents to parrots and pigs. I moved to Raleigh
in
2008 to attend NC State. I graduated in May and I am very excited
to
begin working with pets again.
I enjoy getting out and about, just about anything active --
walking,
running, hiking, basketball. I will gladly give your pets lots of
exercise! I recently adopted a German Shepherd mix, named Pinto
from
Wake County Animal Center. We love to go on long walks downtown
and
people constantly stop us to remark on her "sonar" ears! It always
makes both our days. She is picured in my photo.
I also enjoy cooking new recipes, thrifting, sewing and
daydreaming of
the farm I hope to live on one day. I am looking forward to
meeting
you and your pets, and being their parent when you have to work or
leave town!

Hey there!! My
name is Jessie I'm originally from New
Jersey and moved to Raleigh a little over a year ago.
I have been a BIG animal lover all of my life. I
attended Rutgers University where I earned my degree in
Animal Science and Equine Science. While in
college I raised 2 seeing eye dogs for the blind and after
gradutation I started a pet sitting business of my own.
I've had the opportunity to work with and care for a wide
variety of species, everything from bats to horses!
I have been employed in the animal medical and research
field for the past 4 years, most recently at the College of
Veterinary Medicine as NCSU. I recently decided
that a career in the research field was not for me and that
I needed to move in a different direction and wanted to get
back into pet sitting / dog walking. You can NEVER
have a bad day when you get to give love and attention to an
animal, this is truly a rewarding job to have and I am so
happy to get back into this again with the Raleigh Pet
Sitters team.
In my free time I love doing Cross Fit, hiking as many
trails as I can get to, and doing Yoga. I'm here
to provide your pet with lots of love and great care, and a
peace of mind that your pet is safe and happy while you are
away. I look forward to meeting many clients and
making new animal friends really soon.

Cat Sitter
Hi, I’m
Lisa,
I grew up on a farm and have been an animal lover, advocate,
and caretaker my whole life. Over the years I’ve gained lots
of experience with a wide variety of animals of all ages and
sizes, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even pet pigs. I am also a former pet rat mom, so there is a special
place
in my heart for rodents.
My husband and I are NC natives and currently live in Five
Points, Raleigh. We have two cats, Ms. Puss and Dusty, and a
Great Pyrenees named Coltrane - all of whom we absolutely
adore! I'm looking forward to meeting your own pets and
promise to care for them as if they were my own.
