About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I have potty trained several puppies in that time. I currently have 1 senior dog that I adopted from the shelter and 2 young dogs that my fiancé raised from puppies. They are my comfort. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I've watched my families dogs and cats while they have been out of town. I have experience with raw feeding as well. I'm a stay at home mom so I have pretty open availability. I homeschool my kids, but that doesn't take away from being able to care for others animals at all. I can walk dogs in your yard or around your neighborhood. We have a large yard that is great for walking dogs around. Plenty of space to wear even the most energetic dog out. We have children so they would get more than enough love and cuddles.

“Her compassion is evident with every interaction with my puppy. She make her (my puppy) the single focus of her walking time and nothing is more important than her (my puppy). She is always responsive and if I need more help, she always finds a way. I am so very thankful for her.”

I love to go on long walks with dogs and I also love to play with their toys with them. I will take great care of your dog and I am available pretty much everyday. So please let me take care of your dog!

“Marcus was the absolute best with our dog! More than a dog walker, I can say Marcus was his pal!! Obe who is not a jumper/barker/howler, would go crazy when seeing Marcus pull up in his car! And always came back smiling and exhausted. Marcus was also prompt and flexible. He sent us pictures of their adventures every time. Hands down the best exercise friend for our wild guy Obe!”


“Met Anna at the nearby dog park and hired her the next day to walk my 1yo Pittie mix who has some major energy he needs to get out! When they got back and I saw how happy Charlie was I knew I’d found the perfect match with Anna. She was amazing so I hired her the Remaining 4/5 days Id be here. We just bought a 2nd home on the island and I’ll be using Anna every day we are here:)”

About: Dog sitting is something I truly excel at—I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding routine, going on long, playful walks, or just being there for some quality cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, quickly noticing if something seems off. I treat every dog like they're part of the family, and pet parents can relax knowing their furry friend is in great hands with me. I currently work part-time caregiver for my mom and father. I have a flexible work schedule so I can do all hours . I believe the more rime u can spend with a animal the more you conny just like a caregiver. I ahve a cat that is friendly and free to go as he pleases. i have toys and a nice yard to play in although will still have to be a leash. And as for your home i will keep the most responsible respectful i can be in your home and to your pet.

About: I’ve dog-sat for families, stayed overnight in their homes, and taken dogs on long walks. I’m reliable, nurturing, and animals naturally feel safe around me. I also take excellent care of my own cat, Willow, feeding her a raw diet and paying close attention to her emotional and physical needs. Willow travels with me wherever I go and is well-behaved and calm in new environments—so I can only accept sits where she is welcome to stay with me. Pet care isn’t just a task to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m flexible and available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I like building a rhythm with each pet and can adapt to your schedule easily. I care for pets as if they’re my own—respectfully and attentively. I follow your routines closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether in your home or mine, I create a peaceful environment they can trust.

About: My family and I love pets. We currently have 2 dogs (English Coonhound & a Hound/Terrier mix), a tabby cat (Kitty Girl), & 2 parakeets (Eve & Leo). We have experience with dogs of all kinds over the last 30 years, as well as the other animals and even hermit crabs! My daughters, 16 & 14, are both caring and engage well with all animals, as does my son. We live in a large neighborhood with plenty of walking space and have access to a small waterfront beach at our neighborhood fishing pier/beach. We also visit the local dog park on occasion and volunteer to walk dogs at the Humane Society locally. We will do our best to spend good time with your pet and update you on our activities. We have experience with older dogs (we just lost our 17-year-old Bassett Hound) and experience with dogs with seizures. I'm working from home part-time & out of the house other times. We have plenty of availability to take care of your fur-babies! Covid has limited in-person court appearances, and zoom meetings and virtual cases have allowed more availability to give the time they deserve. My wife, Jenn, and I share the responsibility of visits to best accommodate your schedule & needs. We have a large yard, and take frequent walks. Our home is dog/pet friendly. We can crate your dog upon request. Our dogs love 4 legged company!

About: Im familiar with giving medication, and providing exceptional care for all animals. I've cared for pets most of my life, and I have 5 years of experience in an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs. It's very rewarding, and it's the best part of my day when I see the happy tails, hear the purring and receiving those kisses. I dont live in Denton, I live in Salisbury. I do travel for my clients,[up to 50 miles] only if youre in need of a sitter for more than 3 days. We can discuss even further during a meet n greet. My full time work is as a gig worker. I make my own schedule, so I am able to care for your pets at any time. I love animals! I provide a safe, and caring environment when I care your pets. I love them like they're my own. Care would be in your home, and I usually stay overnight, unless you would like daily care, then I would come a couple times per day to provide meals, scoop litter boxes, take daily walks, etc.

About: Hi, I'm Molly! I'm an experienced animal lover and have cared for pets of all kinds- dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and chickens. I even have my own little zoo, with a dog, two cats, and a 15 year old tortoise! Through volunteering at rescue shelters I've been able to work with dogs and cats of all temperaments and personalities, and assisted in the rehabilitation of several dogs with behavioral issues. I also own an elderly special needs dog, so I'm comfortable and experienced with timed-feedings and administering medications. I adore all cats, whether they're shy or want all the love! I don't mind taking the extra time they need to feel comfortable and open up, since changes in a kitty's routine can be quite scary! I work from home, which means I'm available all day to spoil your fur baby! I'm also outdoorsy, so if you have a high energy pup who never wants to leave the park, they'll be coming home to you with a new best friend. I can care for puppies/kittens, as well as elderly animals or those who have special needs. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day based on the needs of your pet- whether they are a couch potato or want to run and play all day! I have a home with a backyard, and am within a short distance of multiple large parks. My house has been puppy-proofed, and I have a separate bedroom to provide a calm space for your pet if they need some extra room. My two kitties are very social and always love meeting new friends.

My schedule can be relatively flexible around classes, as I am not currently working! I love spending time playing with dogs.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and small animals for as long as I can remember. My family always had a dog and at least 2 cats while I was coming up. I helped with puppy training, walks, play time, cleaning cat boxes, daily feedings, sometimes feeding schedules, and general love and affection. Today, I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a bearded dragon, and a dwarf hamster of my own. My dogs are the sweetest and most loving. They love to play, snuggle, and get butt scratches. My cats are extremely affectionate....when they want to be. Daily feeding, watering, and weekly litter changes keep them happy and healthy. My bearded dragon has an amazing tank setup with a climbing log, a hideaway, a hammock, proper lighting and temp control, an ample sized food and water dish, and all the crickets and super worms her heart desires. My hamster is the newest addition to our farm. She sleeps most of the day, but I always make sure she has plenty of food to eat or stash, fresh water, something to chew on to keep her teeth filed down, and all the fluff she could want so she's able to tunnel, nest, and feel safe. Her house is cleaned weekly and new fluff is added. I love taking care of furry, 4-legged animals of all kinds. **Disclaimer: I do not take care of insects or arachnids. Strong phobia** I currently work as a 911 dispatcher. My shifts are 24 hours on, 72 hours off. I have ample time to make sure my pets are very well taken care of. I will take your pups outside as much as they want to go. I love playing with them and watching them run around and be happy. Walkies are a daily thing. Every dog needs their exercise. I'll love and cuddle your cats until they've had enough and decide to get up. Play time, treat time, potty time, you name it and I'll be there for it. If your pup likes to ride, well then we'll go galavanting with our heads out the window and tongues in the wind! Every dog is a lap dog no matter their size. Some dogs deal with separation anxiety, and it's heartbreaking for us as pet parents. Let me ease your mind and be there for your puppers when you can't be.

Angela D.
“Angela is awesome!! I live with my father and sister, and we had a great big farm dog, named Cookie. Life has caught up to the family, so we haven't had as much time to tend to the dog. When we got Angela to help take care of Cookie, she went above and beyond. Not only did she feed and walk her, but she gave her food and played with her as well. Angela is a very caring, playful, and loving person, and even more so when it comes to her love for animals! My family was trying to get rid of Cookie because we could no longer afford the expenses, sadly. When we told Angela, she took it upon herself to find Cookie a wonderful home among the community, and even took Cookie away for us. If me or my family ever gets animals again, Angela will surely be the first person we will reach out to!”


George Q.
“George has been a gentle caregiver to my two elder Dachshunds (15 years old). They need help in and out and gentle placement on all fours. They recognize him when he arrives and are always happy to greet him with wags. Highly recommend George as a dog sitter.”
