Dog Sitting Belville

About: I’ve watched pets since I was 13. I love walking, sitting, and playing will all kinds of animals. I value animal care and consider pet sitting/walking my number one priority when I am with them I’m home in Ohio during breaks and Wilmington NC during the school year and I am free most days and especially weekends. I don’t work while I’m home so holidays are good for me. I care for pets by sticking to their normal routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, and I always keep owners updated.

“Ruth was wonderful! She took great care of our three fur-babies! The animals loved her- she fed, played, and loved them like they were hers. Ruth texted when she was concerned with anything and sent daily pictures- capturing some of the best pics of our babies :). We will totally use her again for any trip we have coming up— even if it is overnight.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets. I’m responsible, patient and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and specific quirks. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student and I’m not working currently, so I have a really flexible schedule. I also have a light class load this semester, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week. Because of that, I’m able to be flexible with different pet schedules and spend plenty of time with them instead of just rushing in and out. I am able to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need a walk, playtime, to be fed, or just someone to hang out with. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals, and I always want to make sure I know your pet and their routine before you leave. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, watching them at my home for the day, house sitting at your home, etc. I pay close attention to things like feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, doors and gates, and any little details that are important to you. I will do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while you’re away! Just a heads-up, I do have a cat at home, so any pets staying at my house would need to be comfortable around cats.

About: By day, I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time during regular hours. I’ve always loved animals, so I decided to turn that into something fun: dog walking and drop-in visits. I’d love to help keep your pup happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away! My day job gives me a lot of flexibility, so fitting in walks or drop-ins throughout the day is easy for me. It always brightens my day to spend time with animals. I love playing with them, getting outside, and just being around dogs in general. Here's a version for that: Safety is a top priority for me, whether we're out on a walk or spending time in your home. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and is having a good time. I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings, and if anything concerning comes up, I'll reach out to you right away so we can figure out the best next step together.

About: I love that I have gotten to grow up with dogs! I am the go to person among my friends & family to walk & dog sit. I currently work from home as a school speech-language pathologist. I am available to care for your dog during lunch breaks, between speech therapy sessions, and after school. I have a fenced in backyard. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive all my care and attention. I also live in a very walkable, dog friendly neighborhood!

About: I am an experienced dog sitter, walker and owner. I moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts in January and miss my family dog terribly! I’m a newly certified Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with lots of availability while I wait for my insurance credentialing to wrap up. My background in applied behavior analysis has given me a strong foundation in understanding behavior, recognizing individual needs, and using positive reinforcement, skills I’d love to bring to caring for your pup! I’d also love to get my daily serotonin boost from spending time with your best canine friend! Whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company during the day, or extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups!

I’ll follow your instructions and routines, respect your dog’s individual needs and boundaries, and provide plenty of attention and affection.

I’ll treat your home with respect and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Hi! My name is Haleigh and I am an animal lover! I have been taking great care of other people's pets for about 10 years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I have had dogs my whole life on top of my experience pet-sitting, so I understand most of their needs and how to take exceptional care of them. I understand that these are not just pets, they are family members, and I always intend to treat them just as that. I have house-sat while taking care of the pets, made drop in visits through out the day, and have walked multiple dogs at once. I am very reliable and attentive. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them with another person; so I always make sure to do frequent updates over text (unless call is preferred). I do have two dogs of my own so if you’re looking to drop your pet with me, he/she must get along with other dogs! Thank you for your consideration! I only work three days a week so I should have plenty of time to take care of your babies as long as it’s on my days off which I have posted! :) I have a fenced yard and two very friendly and playful dogs to keep yours company. I can also crate your dog or dogs if needed.

“Ashley was fantastic! She gave excellent updates and pictures while we were away. I will always be booking with Ashley from now on!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love while keeping your pets safe and comfortable! I’m available most days of the week, with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays due to college classes. I have a flexible schedule on the other days and can work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, patience, and love while in my care.

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

“Amazing pet sitter. They really made an effort to bond with our skittish dog and had made a friend by the end of the last visit. Definitely would book them again!”

About: I have grown up with four dogs, I have foster dog experience, and I volunteer at the local humane society. I am good at following directions about pet care and I have some knowledge on basic training techniques. I am a college student with an easy going schedule which makes it easy to spend a lot of time off campus taking dogs for walks, giving them love, and keeping them company. I will follow specific feeding and potty break directions as well as spend ample time giving attention and helping to burn some energy. I have so much love to give these animals!

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three rescue dogs of my own! I rescued my first dog, Mia, while I was in college, adopted my second, Poppy, last year, and recently welcomed our third rescue after she was found abandoned in a field. Having three dogs with different personalities and backgrounds has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to take the time to learn what makes your dog feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk to get some energy out, a quick potty break during the workday, some extra playtime, or simply company and attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own dogs. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and always happy to send plenty of photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for! 🐾 I’m a real estate agent, which means I have a very flexible schedule and work from home often! This gives me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, check-ins, or just hanging out and keeping your pets company. My schedule allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine, and I love having an excuse to spend even more time with animals! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet may need. I’m also happy to spend extra time giving them attention, playing, or just keeping them company! I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and getting lots of love while you’re away!

About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.

About: I’ve had a variety of pets my entire life, and love taking care of them. I have raised puppies from when they were young. I am no professional at training, but have experience training up 2 puppies of my own. I have taught them basics and some other special tricks. I have experience leash training and crate training as well. I’ve had experience dog sitting for others for 4 years. Hi! I am currently a college student who recently relocated to the Wilmington area. I make it a habit to ensure all specific pets needs are met at all times. I make a point with all of my animals to spend individual time curated specifically towards them. All of my pets follow a schedule. They know when to expect to be walked, fed, and played with. I try to bring my dog with me whenever I can but she understands that sometimes she needs to stay home for her well being.

“Thank you for taking care of our fur babies while we were away! Very much appreciated. Highly recommend for anyone looking for Peyton’s services. Will use her again in the future. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life and currently have a 4-year-old rescue dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and general pet care in your home. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy or a little more shy, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and at ease. I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos so you always know how they’re doing. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I live in Wilmington full-time and am available for drop-ins, walks, and consistent care throughout the week. I strive to provide a safe, reliable, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animal, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times.

About: I had two rambunctious but precious dogs growing up, so I'm not put off by a tough exterior. I know a mean bark does not equal a mean soul. I have experience dogsitting/cat sitting for clients, friends and professors, and most recently I've been volunteering at Addie Catz Sanctuary, so I'm well accustomed to cleaning messes, navigating reactive animals, and loving on pets. I'm more than happy to answer any questions :) I currently have classes from 9am-1pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and from 9am-12pm, then 3pm-5pm Tuesday/Thursday (so I can check on pets in between those classes). I love to do early morning walks to make up for time I can't be with them during the day! I'll be asking a lot of questions to ensure my care is tailored to your pet's needs, and to build your trust in my capabilities. I'm more than happy to learn the kennels, feeding systems, and "flow" of animal care in your own home to avoid the unnecessary stress and change for pets that comes with boarding.

“Excellent pet sitter! Courtney was always on time, gave our pets lots of love and attention, and sent pics! Will look to book again. Thanks Courtney!”

“Ashlyn was great with our cat while we were away! She’s super communicative from booking all the way to the house sitting. We can’t wait to have her back to look after our dog this summer :)”
