Dog Sitting Belville

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with daily walks, feeding routines, and providing companionship while they were away. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat dogs with patience, respect, and kindness. Pet care fits naturally into my weekend routine. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays, which allows me to dedicate focused time to walks, visits, and check-ins without rushing. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care, and I’m reliable with agreed times and routines. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and respectful environment, whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and boundaries. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort, and I keep their space clean and secure. My goal is for pets to feel relaxed and for owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs my entire life, and started dog sitting and walking dogs for friends and neighbors as young as 12 years old. I also have prior experience working at a dog grooming business, so I am well versed in keeping an eye on multiple dogs at once (and baths, if needed!) I’m currently home full time, so I am typically available any day of the week, at any time! I am very flexible and happy to work around the schedule that you need. When I come to take care of or walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time and attention to them. I would love to take them on walks, to parks, play with their favorite toys, or do anything else you normally do with them to make them happy and comfortable.

About: I have owned a dog all my life and have taken responsibility feeding, bathing, and walking! I love watching family friends dogs as well as helping out with peoples pets in my neighborhood! I have open availability on weekdays/nights, plus weekends! I am available to walk your pet or come to your home and take care of them! I have found I get along very well with all different types of animals and will contact you with any concerns or questions you may have. I will also send pictures of your pet if you would like!

About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.

“Summer was amazing! She loved on my giant Teddy Bears like they were her own. I am ready to book her for every out of town we do this summer!”

About: Hi there! 🐾 If you’re looking for a sitter who truly lives, breathes, and revolves their life around dogs, you’ve found her! I have three pups myself! Having worked at two busy📈 dog daycares, I am incredibly comfortable reading dog body language and group dynamics. My approach focuses on ➕ positive reinforcement alongside mental and physical stimulation. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the top-tier, loving care they deserve! 💕 I’m currently working part-time as a digital marketer twice a week. On the days I’m off, I’d love to care for your pup! Upon any schedule changes, I’ll be sure to keep my Rover up-to-date. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly pups who regularly attended daycare. They love young puppies (& are great with corrections) and calmer dogs who like to play.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! When I was a 1 year old, my family got Foster, a humble and sweet mutt, my best friend for 16 years! I grew up in a home with up to five dogs at once, so caring for multiple personalities, energy levels, and needs feels very natural to me. Now as a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I currently have a cavapoochon named Hurley, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, walks, feeding schedules, and giving lots of attention and affection. He is incredibly friendly and has never met anyone he doesn’t like! What sets me apart is that I’m both loving and attentive — I truly treat every pet like my own, while also making sure their specific needs, routines, and comfort are always prioritized. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I want your pet to feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care is already part of my daily life since I have my own dog, Hurley. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets consistent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. In my home, pets have a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor time, and I live in a quiet, one-story home with just me and my dog, Hurley. I’m very attentive to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or giving pets the attention they’re used to. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet is well cared for, exercised, and given plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: my name is Ryan, and I’m a social worker and work through Rover. I grew up around dogs my entire life, and I currrently have a dachshund mix that I adore and spoil. My goal is to make sure your dogs get the best care possible. Each dog is different, so if you have any special requests to best fit their individualized needs, please let me know. I love taking dogs to the beach, parks, and trails throughout Wilmington. My schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for your schedule. And I will make sure I’m able to help with services. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and at home. If I notice they are stressed, I will sit with them for a few minutes and then take them on a walk to get some energy out. If there’s anything specific your dog likes to feel more comfortable, let me know and I’ll take that into consideration. I will also give them my 100 percent undivided attention and all the pets and belly rubs they want!

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 3 and I am currently going to school for my Bachelors in Animal Science, therefore I would love to express my love for animals with caring for yours! I am a full time student at NC State but I am graduating in the fall so my schedule is really open right now where I can add pet visits either between classes or after classes. I will ensure that all instructions given to me will be followed completely and if I have an issue regarding the care of the pet(s) I will reach out to the owner immediately.

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 a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am a part time student, I got out the navy a year ago. So I am taking time to myself after all those years in the service and so I have a very flexible schedule. I will follow all rules or accommodations for the pets especially in there home. I will always provide a safe experience and keep the dogs a number one priority

About: Hi! I recently moved to the Leland area! I mostly work from home, but may have to go into the office on occasion. I generally am pretty flexible and can take same-day bookings depending on my work schedule, meetings, or if far travel is necessary. I am an absolute animal lover. I have had dogs since I was a child. Recently, my childhood pet passed. I am looking to fill the pet void as I decide if I want to pursue getting a puppy. I’m happy to come to your place or could bring your baby to mine (depending on size, behavior, and energy level). I have currently closed my boarding availability. I am in a new house and debating the risk I want to take with unknown dogs. If that is something you really want to consider, please feel free to message me. We can discuss that further! I love to be outside, enjoy the weather, and go on walks! Add in a great pup and getting paid, what more could you ask for? I tried to treat each pet as if they were my own. I am very loving and will happily sit on the couch, watch a movie, and cuddle up with your pet!

“She did a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my pets and was able to accommodate on short notice. Easy to work with, great communication, and very caring!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for all of my life and taking care of them makes it paws-itively the best day! I’m currently working full-time and after a long day, it’s my pleasure to care for your animals. Your dogs and cats help take all the stress away! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that can be easily put away in her own room. Yes, my dog has her own room in our house. But if you prefer, I can stay at your home to make it easier on your pets.

About: Hi everyone! I’m Andrea, a responsible and compassionate animal lover who truly treats every pet like family. Since a young age I have worked at local animal shelters, worked with nonprofit organizations, and pet-sitted/boarded all over the country. I have experience caring for dogs (and cats!) of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m especially attentive to their individual needs and routines. I’ve also got an extremely friendly australian shepherd myself if anyone ever needs another fur buddy to help run off some energy. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same care and attention I give my own ◡̈ My schedule is wide open at the moment! I stay at home with my own pup and would love to help out with yours ◡̈ I will give your pet all the love in the world as if they were my own and create a safe and trusted space for them!

About: I’ve been loving on animals since I was little. Grew up with a cat, and now have 2 smaller dogs and a kitten that I care after! I’ve been working as a kennel technician for 2 years at a local Boarding & Daycare facility..being there has taught me to be familiar with distributing medication and prepping meals. I enjoy loving on all the animals, taking them on walks daily, and having endless playtime! Since moving to the area not too long ago, I am currently in the market of looking for work but unemployed at the moment. My time is pretty wide open! Caring for the pets has everything to do with what the owners needs/wants are! Loving on the animal is my number 1 priority whether that be giving treats, pets, walks, throwing the tennis ball, or simply just soaking up some sun!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, especially labs and golden retrievers. I am very active, I enjoy spending my time in the woods biking and hiking. I am physically able to handle dogs of any size. I have a particularly strong connection with animals quickly after meeting them. I am able to read and pick up on cues such as them being nervous or timid. As much as I love being outdoors, I am very much open to dog sitting pups that are laid back. I have the patience to slowly earn your pets trust and I am willing to suit whatever needs your pet has. I enjoy dogs of any breed and would the love the chance to get to know yours.

“Alissa did an amazing job dropping in and taking care of my dog. My dachshund is stubborn, very feisty, and doesn’t like many people. I appreciate Alissa’s patience and willingness to care for her. I will definitely book her again.”

“We were very happy with Emma! We had a last minute need for drop-in dog care, and Emma did a great job. We felt very comfortable leaving Winston in her care, and he had a great time with her.”

“Always happy to have Kayla watching our pups and fish! She’s vigilant to make sure everything is good at the house and went above and beyond to get debris out of our koi pond after a storm so the pump wouldn’t break!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.
