Cat Sitting in Artesia

“Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!”

“Thomas helped me out in a last minute pinch, when I was out if town and checked in on my kitty. He communicated well to make arrangements for the visit and sent me updates. All was well, when I returned home.”

Sherry P.

“Great sitter, she took amazing care of my dog and he seemed to love her company. Sent lots of photos during her visit and was very quick to get back to me. 10/10 would highly recommend”

“Cassie did a great job of keeping us updated on our pets while we were away! She provided a thorough update on their moods, health, and appetites, and took the best pictures! She even took the time to meet them beforehand and ensured we felt comfortable with her. If something looked off in the house, she advised us of that as well. We could tell that our pets were well taken care of and had gotten plenty of play time and attention. Would recommend Cassie as she obviously loves animals and cared for our pets so well!”

Contact me for more information. I have a cat in my home, but if home visits aren't for you, then kitty can have a special place of their own. I have full time availability at this time and can be available 7 days a week. Overnight boarding in my own home is preferred, but I can come to you if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly female Labrador retriever who loves having friends over. I have several crates and can crate dogs if needed. I feed my girl twice a day, and she has a toy that she enjoys sharing.

About: I love all animals! I have experience with dogs,cats, birds and hamsters. We have three dogs of our own, and my husband has banned me from any more fur babies. I’m hoping you will allow me the joy of loving on yours! I grew up with dogs my whole life. In my adult life, we’ve consistently had three dogs since for the past 15 years. I lost my dog soulmate last April 🥺. Our dog crew consist of our rat terrier Vader, our chocolate lab Penny and our silly beagle Pumpkin. Vader spends most of his day sleeping on the couch. Penny and Pumpkin are very active, get daily walks and monthly trips to doggy daycare. They are all friendly and love to have friends over to play! I do work full-time (8am-3pm) during the week in Wilmington, but I live in Leland. I’m able to come home/ to your home on my lunch break to check on and give the puppies love. I take the dogs on walks before work and then in the afternoon after we are home. I’m usually home all weekend with the dogs. I have a fenced in yard! Our dogs are all friendly and love to have friends over! They are no longer crated during the day but if you prefer your pup to be crated that totally fine! Unlimited access to water and lots of treats and belly rubs!

About: With a strong background and a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, I offer attentive, knowledgeable, and reliable pet care. I am comfortable around all dogs and confident in my ability to care for them while you are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, or just a loving and attentive sitter, I am here to help! In May 2025, I graduated from NC State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science! I am now in the process of applying and interviewing for jobs. My current schedule allows me to accommodate: 🐾 Morning, afternoon, and evening visits 🐾 Walks, playtime, and exercise sessions 🐾 Overnight stays or extended care as needed Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I ensure a secure, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to their individual needs.

About: With 14 years of professional pet care experience, I specialize in caring for animals of all ages, including senior pets and those with special needs. I spent 6 years as a Kennels Manager at Brunswick Forest Veterinary Hospital and 4 years as a Veterinary Technician, providing expert care for dogs, cats, and more. Whether it’s administering medication or ensuring a comforting routine, I treat every pet like family! I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my pet care schedule to fit yours. Whether you're heading out on vacation or need a helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate! This flexibility means your pet will get the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away! I love keeping pets active and engaged! I always plan for daily walks based on their needs—my own dog has tons of energy, so we go out at least twice a day. Playtime is a must, not just for fun but to build trust and a strong bond. If your pet needs medication, you can rest easy knowing I’m completely comfortable handling it with care.

About: I’ve worked with animals for 18 years. My first job was at a veterinary clinic and I’ve been pet sitting ever since. I volunteer at the Humane Society in my free time. I have experience administering oral medications and potty training puppies. I have some experience training basic obedience and tricks. I don’t discriminate against breed or size - I love them all, feline and canine! I’ve also taken care of birds, fish and cows (I interned at a dairy farm one summer). When pet sitting, I enjoy taking able bodied pups along for hikes and adventures. Overall, I will treat your fur or fur-less babies as if they are my own. I’m a part time nanny, so I work afternoons - evenings Tuesday through Friday. I’m available for walking or check ins in the mornings and late evenings/nights on those days. I’m also open to pet sitting on the weekends - also during the week if your pet can be alone for 6-8 hours at a time. When I walk dogs, I give them lots of affection before getting them ready for their walk. When dog sitting, I take them out first thing in the morning before their breakfast. We will go on 2 long walks, with potty breaks in between. I like to take them to the dog park sometimes or on a long hike if it is allowed. I am respectful of the pet parent’s wishes in all regards.

“Taylor was great and my pup loved her! She communicated well and always asked questions if she was unsure! Would definitely rebook with her in the future! Thank you Taylor!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets all my life! I’ve had two kennel assistant jobs, pet-sat since middle school, been a lifetime pet-owner, and now have a cat and a hamster who are my fur babies ! Working in pet-care businesses has provided me with experience in feeding/hydrating, exercising, and giving oral (e.g., pills/capsules) and dropper (i.e., eye/ear drops) medications. My handling experience so far includes dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, birds, turtles, and fish, but I’d care for most other pets if given the opportunity! I’m currently a student at UNC - Chapel Hill, but am only taking one class, so I have lots of extra time to care for your pet! I am aware that some pets need extra care, and as the mom of a very feisty cat and a 3-legged hamster, I’m well-versed in “escape artists” and handicap-accessible-hamster-cage-set-up (A phrase I thought I’d never say, haha). If you have any other niche pet-care needs, I’m happy to accommodate!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 4 right now on my farm. I have a lot of patience and believe that dogs just need love and exercise and patience and that’s the key to a happy pup and owner! I work full time but would love to play with your pup or walk your furry friend on the weekend while you relax at home! I treat my dogs like they are human children. They are spoiled and I have so many toys for dogs and a first aid kit just in case at all times.

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have my own mini farm, where I have pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys! So if you need any of those types of animals cared for I can do that too! I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!

About: I love all animals! I grew up with multiple dogs and cats and currenty have two of my own so taking care of animals is not an issue with me at all. I don't mind cleaning up if they have an accident, and want to make sure that while I am taking care of your dog that they have a great time and are showered in attention and love. Animals are no issue for me and in the event of any issue I can separate a dog fight and am trained on how to save a choking dog and dog CPR. I am well experienced will all types of breeds big and small and calm and hyper. I am also used to giving oral, topical, and injectable medications to my dogs and happy to assist with that if your dog needs that. I Can't wait to meet everyone!
