“I knew from the meet and greet that Lexi Ann would be a great fit for Mac. She was punctual, did everything I asked, and Mac was well-cared for while I was gone. I got pics to know my pup was doing well. I would recommend Lexi Ann and will certainly use her again when the need arises.”

“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.

“Good job with communication! Made it a smooth visit for me as a new dog mom!”

About: In Home Pet Sitting - take the stress away from your pet while you're away! I'll come to your pet! Special needs? Is your pet on meds? No problem! I used to work for a veterinarian and have experience giving medications to pets - even if they don't like taking them. Dog Walking/Visit - going to be gone at work all day, and your best friend will be locked up? No worries, I can come offer them a fun walk and/or a fun play time. 45 min visit! Boarding - Let your pet come stay with me in my home! I have a fenced in yard, and a designated area for your pets to sleep while you're away. Dog Training - I'm a certified professional dog trainer and can offer group classes or come to you in your home. 10 years Behavior Modification work! Booked separately. 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.

“Amazingly kind and goes extra mile”

About: What sets me apart is how personal this is to me. I don't just show up- I connect. I take the time to learn each dogs personality, fears, routines and joys. I treat them like family, not a client. This isn't a side gig, its commitment. I’ve been the reliable face for families when they leave, the soothing voice for anxious dogs, and a second home for dogs who require more than just a walk. I have an English Labrador named Sarge, whom others claim I treat like a child, but that’s because he’s the greatest gift life has bestowed upon me. Animals can’t communicate their needs verbally, which is why I’ve dedicated myself to studying and researching dog behaviors so that I can empathize with all types of personalities. I’m compassionate, patient, and reliable. Additionally, I’ve trained dogs and puppies for various family members in both English and German. This would be my full time job, for I am trying to turn my passion into career based for me! I am passionate about animals and dogs have always been something special to me. I respect the pet's routine, home and comfort zone. I follow feeding, medication and care instructions exactly as given. I give them affection, one on one playtime and calm energy to help them feel secure. I keep their space fresh and clean- fresh water, always, tidy bowls and clean up after potty breaks. I will send regular updates (photos/videos) so you feel reassured and connected. I treat their home with respect.

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 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: 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: 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!

“Laila was extremely flexible working with my post op schedule. My skittish boy, Blitz took to her in minutes and Bonnie loved her attention immediately. They are big dogs and can sometimes be intemidating but Lail exuded confidence and seemed very comfortable. We will definitely call on her again!”

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! I am very laid back and up front about everything! I stay at home all day everyday so coming to take care of your animals is no issue at all for me. I am always available at all times of the day! My dog Braxton gets fed twice a day and always let outside whenever he wants to go. We have a fenced in yard in a very safe neighborhood! My house is very spacious and always clean! Any dog that I come to your home to take care of I will make sure to let you know when I get to your house and when I leave along with sending any updates or concerns that I might see while there.
