Raleigh Pet Sitters

When we moved to Raleigh, one of our main concerns was who we would find to watch our dog when we go away on vacations. From asking around our building downtown, we found that Raleigh Pet sitters actually walks quite a few dogs in our building. Before our first time using the service, Cindy came to our place to meet us and our pitbull, which of course put my mind at ease for 2 reasons. 1- we wanted to know who is caring for our baby, and 2- who is going to be in our home. \r In the past year and a half , we have had Ariel, who unfortunately has moved on to greener pastures, but thankfully replaced by Jessie who is just awesome with Isys! We have gone away about a half of a dozen of times, with no worries or concerns while we are away. I especially love the notes that they leave us about how every walk went while we were away, and love the pictures that get sent to me of her playing outside. Thank you Raleigh Pet Sitters! more

We can't say enough good things about how much our dogs love Cindy, Taylor and everyone else at Raleigh Pet Sitters. They are always on time to come take our dogs out and play with them, and the detailed information we get when we return is helpful and informative. We would recommend them to everyone! more

Cindy's pet services is an amazing dog walker/dog sitter service in Raleigh, NC. I have now been a client of theirs for over a year and I couldn't have found better people for the job! I have two 3-year old dogs, and I know they are getting the best care. Colleen is my primary sitter and the dogs absolutely love her. Sometimes I have to go out of town on very short notice, and Cindy always works with me to ensure that my dogs are given the time and care they need. I know I can trust and totally rely on Cindy's Pet Services and I recommend them highly. I always come home to happy dogs. :) more

We've been using Raleigh Pet Sitters since 2009 for our cats. Cindy is very responsive with our visiting requests, just a few minutes after sending an email to get it scheduled. And the two sitters we've had have been very good. They write up a report at the end of the final visit talking about each cat and how they did, whether they were playful, wistful, etc. more

We thought we had care lined up for two dogs and cat for our vacation but then we found out two weeks before we left, 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 sitter, Jess, 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. more

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! more

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. more

We have a 14 year old Labrador Retriever, 8 year old Miniature Yorkie and 7 year old Pomeranian. After years of dealing with ""doggie daycare, veterinary boarding services and pet resorts"" in the Raleigh area we had grown accustom to adding $90 + a day to any trip we took. You would think for the price we paid for a veterinary boarding service that there was a fulltime ?sitter? hanging out with our dogs, allowing them to run free in a fenced in yard during the day, and personal attention given to each one of them for at least 45 minutes a day.... BUT NO ... that would be extra. For the $90+ a day the dogs could share a large crate and would have up to 20 minutes of outside time and 3 bathroom breaks a day. REALLY??? No wonder anytime we pull out a suitcase and began to pack: ? our Yorkie starts to climb in and hide, praying he would ?go unnoticed? ? our Labrador began to pace and pace and pace and pace and pace ... ? and our Pomeranian would start to either hide with the Yorkie or pace with the Labrador I know that it is not free to board three dogs but the veterinary boarding services were getting TOO expensive for the service. Next we tried a pet resort. At $120.00 a day we could barely afford to go on our week long family vacation and the services offered were nothing to brag about. Again we were being charged additional vet fees along with outdoor ?play time? fees for each dog. OUTRAGEOUS! Next we decided to try a ?doggie daycare? service we found on a message board at a local restaurant. Things seemed ok upfront, but the additional charges for multiple dogs started to add up. Even though we had a fenced in back yard for daily outside visits and didn?t request, require or receive any ?long walks? we were charged an additional $10.00 per visit. Plus an additional $8.00 per feeding since one dog required medicine that we prepared in a cracker to be given as a twice a day. With vacations becoming too expensive to take we started relying on unreliable friends to come by and sit our dogs.... This past July we had a week long family beach trip and once again found ourselves in need of a reliable sitter. This time we researched EVERY dog walking service, interviewed a few, and came across Cindy?s Pet Sitting Services. When we talked to the owner, Cindy Golden, we knew Cindy?s Pet Sitting Services was the one for us. They have been so friendly, accommodating, and we trust them completely with our dogs. The dogs took an immediate liking to their sitter, Gretchen, who came to our house along with Cindy for a face to face hello visit before we committed to using their services. The same person, Gretchen, would be the one to come by three times a day ? spending 30 minutes with our dogs at each visit. There were no crazy up charges for having more than one dog (only $2.00 for the third dog!) and she leaves a note every time about how the day went. Finding a pet sitter that is suitable, affordable, and that provides a sense of comfort while w more

Cindy is a serious pet lover and has two dogs and two cats that she adores which I believe is the number one requirement for a pet sitter. I was quite impressed with her level of detail and professionalism. It is important to me that Cindy and her employees are bonded and insured since they will be taking care of our home too. 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. We trust Cindy?s Pet Sitting Service to take our of fur babies while we are away allowing our cats to remain in their home and giving us peace of mind that they are happy. more

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! more

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! more

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. more

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. more

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! more

We've had Taylor from Cindy's Pet Sitting looking after our dog for around a year and we love having her look in on him. She's completely dependable and leaves great little notes for us about how and what he did while we were gone. We absolutely trust her in our home and with our dog and all of his little nuances. I would highly recommend Taylor and Cindy's Pet Sitting for anyone who can't take their pets everywhere they'd like to. more

I have been using Cindy's pet sitting service here in Raleigh for 4 years now. She is trustworthy and goes out of her way to provide a great cat sitting service. Not only does she just provide love and care for our cats, but she gets the mail, waters our plants, and takes the garbage out to the curb and back. She also provides a nice daily log to read about the cats and what she did each day. I very much recommend her and her business! more

Cindy has been caring for my beagle for two years and I could not be happier. She is professional, writing notes about each visit, and is always easy to reach when I want an update on how our beagle is doing at home. Our beagle used to get stressed out when we boarded him at the kennel, but now we come home to a very happy dog who has been walked and loved on during our vacation. Not only does Cindy look after our dog, but she also cares for our house by watering plants, turning lights on/off, bringing in the mail, and taking out our trash cans for pick-up. If you are looking for a pet sitter or dog sitter in the Five Points area of Raleigh, NC, you should definitely call Cindy's Pet Sitting Services. Pros: professional, caring, love for pets more

You will love having Cindy in your home caring for your pets. We don't like to leave our two Yorkies at all, but when we do, we call Cindy. She is loving and cares for our 9-month old and our 10-year old with tender love and care. Their area is always clean; they have been fed and walked outside; and, most of all, she spends time playing with them. Our dogs have different needs, and we can't speak highly enough of the individual care she gives each of our dogs. Plus, she will get our mail, switch out lights, and calls us whenever anything's a problem. She leaves detailed notes at every visit, which lets us know how much she cares for them. You should hire these people if you leave your pets! more

I highly recommend Cindy's pet sitting. Cindy and her helpers have been caring for my 2 dogs and cat on a daily basis during the work week for several years now. They're also there to care for them overnight when I have to be out of town. Cindy is extremely reliable and flexible, and has always been able to provide extra visits when I need them. I have an older dog with special needs and Cindy is great with her. I know my pets are receiving tons of TLC from someone who is trustworthy and committed to always going the extra mile to get the job done right!! As a busy, single professional who loves my pets, Cindy and her team are an invaluable resource. Pros: Reliable, Flexible, Experienced, Caring more
