“Dace watched our dog Gunner over the holiday weekend and was great! She took excellent care of him and sent us pictures so we knew he was happy and safe. Highly recommend!”
“We had Kylie house/dog sit for us and I highly recommend her! She sent pictures and updates every day. Our pups were loved and cared for. I hope to use her again during her break!!”
“Marilyn was absolutely amazing! She took our dogs for walks, played with them and took lots of pictures while we were gone. She took notes to make sure she kept our dogs on their routine exactly as if we were there! We will definitely be booking with here again.”
“Thank you Kiah for the wonderful job you did. Not only do my girls love her, she also keeps the house clean. Which is very nice to come home to after being gone several days. I noticed all the little things, she even poop scooped the yard. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“Debra was outstanding! She spent a week watching our dog and we couldn’t be happier. She was in regular communication sharing pictures and updates.”
“Robert did a great job in taking care of Patsy. He took her for a walk and stayed with her while my wife and I went to dinner. I strongly recommend his services.”
“I can not say enough about Kathleen! She went above and beyond in caring or our two pets (one dog and one cat). We were gone for over three weeks and she stayed in our home to care for them. She updated us daily while we were gone and was so attentive and loving to both of them. It made being away so much easier. She also took great care of our home and communicated with us constantly as we were also gone during a hurricane. I will use Kathleen every time we need to go away and I recommend her highly to anyone else that is considering to use her whether it is just for a walk of their pets or to care for them on a long term basis!”
About: I have many years experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had 2 dogs both who were with me from the time they were puppies to 15 and 16 years old. One of the dogs had medical issues and seizures so I'm used to dispensing medicine and to caring for a sick pup. I am very comfortable around all dogs and all animals in general. I now have 3 cats. I am a distance runner and triathlete. So if your dog likes to run, I will gladly take them on a run. If not I love being outdoors so long walks are also not a problem. I am here to make your fur baby happy. I am very flexible as far as time goes as well. I am self employed so I am available to care for your animals most anytime. I can do early morning to late evening. I am also available on weekends. I have four dogs and three cats so I am well versed in animal care. My cats are all over 15 years old and are very healthy. I will treat my client's pets just like my own.
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, including those with special needs and medical conditions. Every animal in my care will be loved, snuggled, and spoiled—or given the space they prefer, depending on their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe and comforting environment for them while you’re away. Hi, My schedule is open, my hours are not limited… accept for Wednesdays. I can watch on Wednesday with advance notice, please and thank you. I will discuss care with the owner one on one, each animal is special and different and the owner will know what is best for their fur baby.
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've taken care of animals with many backgrounds including dumped and abandoned animals which can be very difficult at times but I have always been able to break through and care for them accordingly. I can administer medications whether oral or external with ease. I am able to follow instructions and will feed each pet as asked. My animals are well loved and behaved and cared for. You will have no worries under my care. I am quite flexible with my availability. If I am unable to accommodate your request I will kindly decline. I will gladly do early morning and late afternoons. Whatever works best for you and your pets! With 10 plus years of animal care experience including 1 year working as an animal care technician, caring for 100 plus animals 5 days a week. I am able to provide your care requests in a timely manner.
About: I've always had animals in my life. I'm very patient and caring and will go above and beyond to provide the best care that I can. Pet care has always been a part of my routine. Being a life long pet owner it's second nature at this point and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a large front yard and a gated back yard so the animals can go outside. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood which will be great for walks. Your pet will receive lots of love and affection as well.
“Amber did a wonderful job with our golden retriever. She was communicative, sent pictures, and we came home to a very happy dog. We look forward to using her again.”
About: I have cared for young to senior, rambunctious to frail. This includes dogs, cats and even guinea pigs. I can provide walks, feedings, meds, play and even Reiki! Past volunteer at the Brunswick County Humane Society and NMB Humane Society. I travel between Charlotte and Sunset Beach, mainly in Sunset Beach. When I am at the beach I am free to help all times and days. I believe dogs love getting out and going for walks. I offer walks for all types of doggie dispositions - with experience in scared, nervous and frail dogs.
“Alyssa took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. She provided updates on how they were doing and left the house super clean! Would definitely recommend!”
About: With my passion for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I am working towards a career in dog training! I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life growing up, helping my family take care of all of our pets. I take both my dogs on walks and runs and help exercise them daily when I am home as they are still technically puppies with lots of energy! I can’t have a dog of my own just yet so let me help you take care of yours!! For my job I’ll be working 6 hour shifts at sort of odd hours, so I’ll be able to stop in or walk pets mornings afternoon or evening! I will treat your home as I would want mine to be treated if someone was coming in to take care of my pets! I will make sure they feel loved and get attention during the walk or sit.
About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

About: I've never met a warm-blooded animal I didn't love. I'm well versed in diabetic animal care and able to give subcantious fluids as directed by a veterinarian. I am currently taking a sebatical from corporate work and available for drop in visits and walks. I cannot wait to meet your fur-baby and help ease your mind while you're away. I love to play fetch with both dogs and cats. Yes, kitties can play fetch too. I have 2 cats who love to bring their mice back and have them thrown. Your doggie will be given lots of butt scratches and lengthy trots around the block. Treats only given at the discretion of pet parents.

Dawn M.
“Dawn has been the best pet sitter to my pets. For years, she has provided the best and most careful care to both dogs and cats, and I’ve seen her be the best pet parent to her own furry friends! She’s very active in playing with and exercising dogs, and isn’t afraid to get dirty with high energy breeds! She is extremely reliable and easy to get ahold of and communicate with, and I recommend her highly to anyone who wants their pets in the best hands.”

Skylar W.
“Cannot say enough good things about Skylar and the work she did with my pit bull, August. When we started, he was reactive and hard to manage in public settings — now, he listens to every command, all in German! Skylar didn’t just train him — she transformed him. His focus, confidence, and obedience have completely changed, and I finally feel in control on walks and in new environments. She worked with patience, consistency, and real skill, and the results speak for themselves. If you want a dog who listens, respects, and thrives — Skylar’s the one to call.”
Tori M.
“Wow... what can I say. Tori was an amazing cat sitter. You could tell how much they love cats and even showed me photos of their own! They came punctual and was thorough in their tasks. My cats enjoyed their company and I loved their energy. Any time I asked for an update they responded almost immediately. There was little to NO pet anxiety. I hate leaving Pepperoni but with Tori it felt a little less scary. I do recommend!”
