Paws of Serenity NC, LLC

We’ve used Paws of Serenity twice now for professional cat sitting, and both experiences have been absolutely seamless! From the very beginning, communication has been clear, timely, and reassuring. Melissa and her team are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely care about the animals they’re looking after. Our cats can be pretty shy, and that’s where Paws of Serenity truly shines! Every time Melissa or a team member visits, our normally reserved kitties come out, engage, and clearly feel safe. That alone speaks volumes about their calm, patient, and respectful approach to cat care. Not to mention, one of my favorite parts of having Paws of Serenity cat-sit are the daily photo updates. Hands down, they take the best pictures! Not just proof-of-life photos, but super cute pictures that really show how relaxed and comfortable our cats are. It is super helpful when you’re away and need that peace of mind. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate cat sitters who understand kitty behavior and prioritize communication and trust, Paws of Serenity is truly exceptional. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will absolutely continue using their services whenever we travel.

Melissa and Beth took care of my dog Emmy for a week. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they were with my dog. They gave her the same love and attention that we give her. We chose to have them visit 4 times a day. They were always on time and consistent with their visits. I didn’t have to worry at all. I loved getting texts and pictures after each visit. I could see how happy Emmy was to have her new "friends" come to take her outside and feed her. I would highly recommend Paws of Serenity! They are the absolute best and they go above and beyond for your pets.

Melissa and River did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away for a week. She offers a complimentary consultation to meet you and introduce her to your pets. We met both Melissa and River at the consultation. Melissa is very kind, easy to work with, fixable with requests/changes, texts back quickly, and clearly loves animals. Melissa runs the most professional pet service I have ever used. I was very impressed. They also took great care of all my plants/garden! We had great peace of mind knowing our kitties were in good hands, and we got a bunch of pictures after every visit! 100% would recommend Paws of Serenity and will be using their services again in the future.

We had an absolutely amazing experience using Paws of Serenity. Our vet recommended them to us, and from the initial encounter meeting Melissa and River they were extremely professional and organized. River took AMAZING care of our sweet cat all week and we were sent pictures and updates each day. Within the first day she was belly up in photos, which is a huge deal for our usually skittish cat. We had great peace of mind knowing she was happy at home being cared for and loved on. River also took great care of our home while we were gone and it was spotless when we returned. We genuinely can't say enough good things about Paws of Serenity and River as this is the first time we have been able to go out of town that did not result in our cat getting stressed out and refusing to eat or over grooming. We will absolutely use Paws of Serenity for overnight care in the future.

We had a great experience with Paws of Serenity watching our Pittie! Barley loved Melissa and Alli, and they went all out to make him comfortable. As a dog with Separation Anxiety, he needs a lot of attention! With Paws of Serenity doing overnight stays, Barley was not anxious at all! No accidents and no tearing up the house! We will be using Paws of Serenity every time we leave town from now on! I'm attaching two pics we received of Barley from Melissa. They show how happy he was with them!

Melissa and the Paws of Serenity team were absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of our kitties, Milo and Gus, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were not only being looked after but also loved and spoiled. We came home to two very happy cats and a stress-free experience all around. We’d highly recommend Melissa and her team to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend! Melissa was an absolute lifesaver while I was away helping take care of my parents. Leaving my four cats behind was stressful, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She made sure they were fed on time, spent quality time playing with them, and kept their litter boxes clean and fresh. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about my cats’ well-being. Knowing they were safe, happy, and getting attention made being away so much easier for me. I came home to relaxed, well-cared-for kitties, which says everything about the care she provided. Melissa is reliable, compassionate, and clearly loves animals. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, I highly recommend!
