We are a professional pet sitting and dog walking service and have been keeping pets happy at home in Raleigh, NC, since June of 2004.

We do mid-day walks, supper feeding visits, pet sitting for all types of animals as well as overnight stays and live-in pet care.

Many people don't know that they do not have to board their pets and that they can use a pet sitter; in fact, it's actually cheaper for multi-pet households. It's with a great peace of mind in knowing that your pets are on their own normal routines, eating their same food, sleeping in their normal spots, and remaining happy at home.

We cover the Downtown Raleigh Condos and Apartments, Five Points/Hayes Barton Area, Glenwood South to Crabtree, the North Hills Area, Wade Ave, Banbury, Cameron Village Area, Boylan Heights, Historic Oakwood, Mordecai, The Village at Pilot Mill, PLUS parts of N Raleigh Six Forks to Newton Rd & Falls of Neuse to Newton Rd., all of North Ridge & Whitehall Town Homes.

We are licensed with the City of Raleigh, bonded and insured. All sitters are certified in Pet First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. We are a member of NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters), APSE (Association of Pet Sitting Excellence), The K9 Circle, and a founding member of TAPPS (Triangle Area Professional Pet Sitters). Proud Supporters of the SPCA and the Humane Society.

  We thought we had care lined up for two dogs and cat for our vacation but then we found out two weeks before we Raleigh, that our friends could not keep them after all. I really didn't want to board the dogs because they've never been boarded. I just knew my Winston would hate it and the cost for two dogs was going to be significant. I'm so thankful that pet sitting came to mind. It cost us half of what it would cost to board them and I felt so much better knowing that my animals were safe and happy in their own beds. Both Cindy and the Jess, the Pet Sitter who'd be doing the visits, came by to meet us and the animals the weekend before we left. I instantly liked Jess and was very pleased to have daily reports from here about each visit.
  
  They were clearly very professional and showed they took their business seriously; yet they demonstrated the personal connection and touch you want for your pets.

  I have been using Raleigh Pet Sitters for over three years now. They are amazing! The dog walkers are responsible, knowledgeable, and reliable.
  
  I have had the pleasure of working with Jess for about a year now and she is so easy to reach-just a simple text away. I love that she leaves a note about their walk! Jess has walked some of my foster dogs as well as my own puppies and they are always happy and tired when I come home!
  
  My schedule is constantly changing and there have been several times where I have needed a dog walker with only a few hours notice. Cindy and Jess have always managed to make sure that my dogs are taken care of and for that, I highly recommend Raleigh Pet Sitters!

  I cannot say enough good things about Cindy’s Pet Sitting! Cindy and her team have been wonderful to me and my two dogs and I have used them over the past few years and have really enjoyed getting to know her and her team. I have worked with Cindy, as well as three of her dog sitters – all have been outstanding!
  
  I was very impressed with the level of professionalism I received by both Cindy and my current dog sitter, Colleen. We had our initial visit in which Cindy accompanied Colleen to meet me, learn about the dogs and get to know our routine. I was provided documentation, contact information, copies of insurance, etc – more than I really even knew to ask for!! – and was also made to feel like a friend. Which is very reassuring….leaving not only your pet children in someone else’s care – but your home as well – it helps to know that it is with someone that you can trust!
  
  Colleen is just fantastic! You can tell that she a real animal lover and she is so thoughtful with my dogs. I have an older dog that is allergic to corn – while during the discovery and rehab of this condition, Colleen was so concerned, offered to help and asked about Banx --- even when she wasn’t sitting for him. My younger dog keeps her busy with fetch and the overwhelming need for attention --- she takes it all in stride. She is just wonderful and I am so lucky to have her to call on to take care of my boys!
  
  I highly recommend Cindy’s Pet Sitting services – Cindy and her team are professional, thoughtful and they get it! You have to care about not only the pets – but the people – to be successful and they do! I have had the same dog sitter for over a year now; however, if there is ever a need for a substitute, Cindy makes the effort to bring the sub for me to meet ahead of time – sometimes just in case one is needed! – so that I feel at ease with all members of her team. Cindy’s is the best ~ hands down!

  My husband and I moved to Raleigh last year with our cat, Oliver, and were nervous about going out of town because we didn’t know anyone in the area to take car of him. We contacted Raleigh Pet Sitters (Cindy’s Pet Sitting Services) and they came over to our apartment to meet Oliver before taking care of him and took detailed notes about where his food, litter, and toys were. Jess, our pet sitter, is very reliable and always leaves us detailed notes about how our cat did while we were gone. I highly recommend Raleigh Pet Sitters! They are professional, dependable, friendly, and our cat enjoys them!

  I just moved to the Raleigh area and a friend recommended Cindy's. I was nervous at first, (having never used a pet sitter before), but Cindy's is FANTASTIC! Colleen took care of my dogs and I feel totally comfortable leaving them in her care in the future. She gave them lots of love and even administered medication for me. I also loved getting texts and pictures each day, letting me know that my dogs were okay. I would highly recommend them to anyone who loves their pets like children!!! They are professional, friendly, and very responsible.

  I was very happy when I came home from our first trip when Cindy cared for our cats. I could tell the cats were well taken care of and received lots of attention. Cindy left written notes from each visit giving us details on their care and behavior. It was such a relief to know she did more than just put food in the bowl and changed the litter. And I liked the little things such as our mail was piled neatly on the counter. When we travel in the summer, I ask Cindy to water my two flowerpots on the balcony daily. They always look great when we return so I know she thoroughly watered them.
  For the first 2 years, Cindy was our pet sitter. However over the years, she has expanded her business and now Jill cares for our pets. It is obvious that Jill loves our cats and provides the same high level of care as Cindy. Once in awhile, Jill will email me a funny photo of our cats which I think is a nice touch. Jill takes care of other pets in my condo building so I often see her walking dogs.
  We have been using Cindy’s Pet Sitting Service for 3.5 years and we highly recommend her services.

  Cindy's Pet Sitting Service is awesome. You can even call them the day before you leave town and they are always available! Jess has watched our dog on a continued basis and she is great!! She is very conscientious... follows every instruction we give her as it changes each time...she plays with him, walks him and just keeps him company. She even waters our plants and feeds the fish! We return home to very detailed notes as well and feel like he was very well taken care of. I would recommend this service highly!

  I moved to NC for a job and needed to travel for that job just a week after moving. I was stressed at the idea of finding a pet sitter I could trust in such a short amount of time. Taking to the internet I found Cindy's Pet Sitting Services. I called and Cindy arranged to meet me at my house with my areas pet sitter, Jill.
  
  First off, I love that they have all their forms are online so thorough. I was able to detail all the important things my pet sitter needed to know about my pets. I also like that all the details are spelled out in the contract. When Cindy and Jill came over they went over everything with me and made sure I didn’t have any questions or concerns.
  
  The main thing I love about Cindy’s Pet Sitting Service though is that I could tell that Cindy and my pet sitter Jill LOVE animals. Jill was on the floor with my big mutts before the visit ended, not scared by the jowls, drool, or hair encountered! My animals took to her immediately, even my more skittish dog Tina.
  
  When I’m gone my pet sitter has texted me when any issues come up. I love that she is so communicative and alert to my animals’ behavior and patterns. With her level of oversight I finally feel comfortable leaving my pets at home and going on trips out of town! The notes that the pet sitter leaves are great too; very detailed and thorough.
  
  Overall I would recommend Cindy’s Pet Sitting Service to anyone looking for a service that will take impeccable care of their pets. I have found my NC pet care provider!

  Cindy's has been a huge help to our family. Colleen takes the absolute best care of our dogs - we absolutely adore her! We know our furry children are safe, secure, happy, and loved while we are away.

  Cindy's Pet Sitting in Raleigh has been a HUGE help to me....I'm no longer having to rush home from work and take the pup out for a walk -both he and I are really happy. I can tell he loves when Jess comes to visit, and I get a full report of all "activities" that happened. I highly recommend this dog walking service.

  I have been using Cindy's Pet Services for over three years and they have been nothing but wonderful! I have two 16 year old cats who do not like to leave the comfort of their home and I was very lucky to find a pet sitter as professional and thorough as Cindy to come into my home and check on them while I was away. From my first meeting with Cindy I was very impressed that she wanted to meet me and my cats before accepting the job. She got all the important details and from that day on I have never been worried when leaving my cats in Cindy's care. She even checked on them during a snow storm we had last year! If you are looking for a pet sitter in Raleigh, NC you won't find one better than Cindy!

  Cindy and Jill are terrific!! I don't have to worry about my kittens while I'm on vacation or out of town for the weekend. I was initially impressed with Cindy's business after reviewing her website and speaking to her on the phone. She came to my home and was very thorough in obtaining information prior to the first sitting. Without a doubt I recommend Cindy and her staff. They are very reliable and professional and I couldn't ask for a better sitter for the boys!!

  Cindy's Pet Services is a life saver. We have been utilizing their services for around a year and they make traveling so much easier. They are true pet lovers and don't consider this a job, so much as caring for other peoples "babies." I would recommend them to everyone. Completely dependable and trustworthy.

  Cindy and her crew are wonderful pet caregivers. Our 3 dogs look forward to their daily lunch time walk, and Monica understands each of their personalities and "quirks", and gives them plenty of love and attention. We have also had overnight stays, and having our "kids" in their own environment makes for calmer, happier dogs - and the house is "lived" in while we are gone. I highly recommend Cindy and her services - we couldn't be more pleased!
