House Sitting Bells Crossroads

“She was excellent. She took great care of my young child, demonstrating patience and understanding throughout. She was very accommodating, and I plan to book her services again.”

About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.

About: I can’t remember an age where I wasn’t helping birth and raise kittens and puppies, turtles, or rodents. From having blind, toothless senior chihuahuas and senile cats…to a litter of brand new pups or kittens struggling to catch their first breath I’ve been part of it. I’ve had several rodents and reptiles, and cared for my friends and family birds as well. Trained puppies and kittens to use the potty and more. Also helped with a few farm animals too. I work only 20-25hrs a week, so I’ll always be home within 6hours or less. Outside of work, I’m home hanging out with my kids and furbabies. I have two e.s.a. Certified cats who tend to hide away when someone new is here. I’ve had them both since babies (13y & 3y). Keep things clean, organized, healthy, I had a cleaning company too. I don’t have crates on hand or an outside fence but I have a huge yard, the neighbor has a spayed female American bulldog, very friendly. There are farm animals next door. However, I do appreciate being where the pet is comfortable and knows its space.

“Daniel was very friendly and our pups loved him! We will definitely be requesting him again.”

“This was our first time using a rover sitter for our dog and Trinity was very responsive. She took Indy on several walks. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for vacation! It was such great peace of mind to have someone with our animals while we were gone. Abby did a great job communicating and staying in touch with us, providing updates and pics throughout the week! Will definitely use her services again.”

“Milena stayed with our two big pups and was great. She was very punctual and was great with communicating while we were out of town. She sent multiple updates durning the day and sent tons of pictures. I would definitely recommend and would use her again when needed.”

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and coworkers for 10+ years. I can assure you, your dog will get all the love while here in my care! We have a very energetic goldendoodle, that loves everyone and would love some playmates! I work not even 10 minutes from my house and am home daily on my lunch. I have a decent size fenced yard that allows the doggies to get out and run/play! If you are needing them to be crated, they absolutely can be but have an area they can run!

“Alissa has a wonderful attention to detail and was an excellent communicator from the first contact until we arrived home after our trip. She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs and the house was clean and tidy when we got back (trash emptied, counters wiped down and bed made). The dogs seem very happy and she sent us pics and video and kept us posted on how things were going.”

Kathy R.

“Piper was awesome!!! Definitely 5 🌟 service and a customer for life!! She was so much help from booking the appointment, which I had messed up on the dates and she was able to fix it and still available to great communication and sending pics on taking great care and quality time with Jada! Definitely will be using her for future trips while we're gone! Thank you again!!!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from smaller dogs to bigger dogs. The experience I do have with Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and neighbors over the years. My fiancé and I have a dog she's a Beagle mix, she's probably she most friendly,energetic, quiet dog you could meet. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and could fit in the palm of my hand. Now she's a stubborn big back little girl that will do any trick you ask her if you have a treat in your hand. Love her though. Overall I love dogs, I feel like you can never be mad when you have one, not matter what bad things they do, they win you back over by being cute and friendly. Pet care fits in my schedule every day of the week rather it's caring for my own pet, or taking care of someone else's. It would have to be either after I get off work or before I go in. On weekends anytime would work. How I/we care for our pets at home is by walking our dog 3-4 times a day depend on how many times she has to use the bathroom. And by also feeding her 2-3 times a day depending on how much she ate the time before. -We walk our dog in the morning before work, when we get home from work, and at night before we go to bed. Majority of the we’ll feed her after she goes out in the morning and then feed her again when we get home from work.

“Brianna did great. She gave Gus lots of love and took him for car rides. My house was as clean when I came home as it was when I left. She was very positive and cared about the instructions I gave her.”

About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.

About: Hey, I’m Cassidy! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 5 years before transitioning into pet sitting full time, and I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Between my vet assistant background, my own pets, and years of hands-on pet care, I’m comfortable caring for pups and kitties of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and medical needs. I currently offer house sitting and drop-in visits, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while still getting the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, medication, snuggles, potty breaks, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and help with small home tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy while you’re gone. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I want them to feel like their routine stayed familiar, their needs were met, and they had a friend looking out for them the whole time. Feel free to reach out with any questions or details about your pet’s routine- I’d love to learn more about them and see if we’d be a good fit! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets in their own home and keep their routine as normal as possible. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit includes whatever your pet needs most — meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, or just some extra love and attention. I do step out for errands, appointments, and occasional outings, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care and their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently house sitting and drop-in visits and I love that this allows pets to stay in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, and feel more comfortable while their people are away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. I’m mindful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, medications, and any house rules you have in place. During outdoor time, I always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re going for a walk, having supervised yard time, or taking a quick potty break. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind with updates along the way.

“Cosette was great. Very accommodating, and kept in touch throughout the whole week she had to dogs. Highly recommend”

“Tatum was awesome! Very honest young lady. Both my dogs Bowie and Jolene loved her to death right from the beginning. Our younger Shepherd Bowie is a pack dog he doesn't take to too many people but he took to her right away we knew we had a winner in her. She did an excellent job loving on our Bowie and Jolene. We want her down as a favorite one she was very honest and very punctual and took care of our dogs like they were her own. We really appreciated her and will use her again on all of our adventures vacations and trips. We were new to the area Wilmington North Carolina for 2 years now and we haven't gone anywhere because we didn't have a dog sitter. We found out about Rover and she stood out out of all the other ones that were unavailable at the time. So we have to give her a five-star rating in every single area. Both my wife and I gave her cash tips in the beginning and in the end. She is outstanding. She is an outstanding young lady who took care of our fur babies like they were her own. We really appreciate her and once again we will be using her if she's available when we need another dog sitter. Bowie and Jolene really loved on her as well as her loving on them.”
