Dog Sitting Cape Carteret

About: I have had a lifelong love of animals and have been caring for pets from a very young age. I grew up with both dogs and cats and learned early on the importance of being responsible, patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. As an adult, I have continued to care for my own pets, including many cats and a rabbit, giving me experience with different animals, personalities, routines, and care requirements. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every animal. I don’t see pet sitting as simply feeding an animal and letting them out—I believe pets need companionship, affection, playtime, exercise, and individual attention. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, observant, and very attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior or routine. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to have someone they can trust with a beloved member of their family. I work part-time, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to make pet care a priority. I am available every day of the week and can accommodate visits, walks, feeding schedules, and other care needs at various times throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can provide consistent and dependable care without having to rush through visits. I am able to adjust my routine around each pet’s individual needs and schedule, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to make caring for pets an important part of my daily routine. I have three cats of my own, so I understand the responsibility and commitment involved in providing daily care for pets. I make sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, a safe and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I also spend time playing with them and providing enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. If caring for someone else’s pet in my home, I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain the pet’s normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, medication, and sleeping routines as much as possible. I would provide a calm, safe space where the pet can feel comfortable and would give them plenty of individual attention. I would also take into consideration their personality and comfort level, especially if they are nervous or adjusting to a new environment. Because I have cats, I would also make sure any visiting pet is safely separated when necessary and that introductions are handled appropriately. My priority would always be the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care.

“Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!”

“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”

About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Carla and I'm an experienced, loving, and dedicated pet sitter based in Emerald Isle. I've been passionate about animals ever since I was a kid and have spent the last 6 years turning that passion into a career. I've cared for animals of all shapes and sizes — from energetic puppies to mature cats, from tiny birds to sizable reptiles and everything in between. I have a special knack for understanding pets' needs and communicating with them on their level. My priority is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. When it comes to dogs, I'm experienced in managing various breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I am proficient in basic training commands and am capable of handling dogs who are leash trained or harness trained. I know all the great dog parks and pet-friendly spots around the local community and I am eager to keep your furry friend exercised and socialized. For feline friends, I'm well-versed in kitty care. I understand their unique personalities and respect their space. Whether your cat loves playtime or prefers a relaxing brushing session, I can adapt to each of their specific needs. In my care, your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am committed to staying in regular communication with you, and providing frequent updates and photos so you can rest assured your pet is in the best hands. Lastly, as a professional pet sitter with Rover, I am fully insured and bonded. I offer a range of services including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am flexible with scheduling and will do my best to accommodate your needs. Thank you for considering me as your pet's sitter. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! Here's a peek into my daily schedule to give you an idea of how I'll be caring for your beloved pets. **Early Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM):** I start the day bright and early, ensuring your pets have a good start too. This is the time for the first walk of the day for dogs, making sure they have plenty of exercise to start their day. For cats, this is the time for feeding, litter box cleaning, and maybe a little playtime if they're up for it. **Late Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM):** After a little breakfast for myself, I continue with pet duties. This includes any necessary grooming, administering medication (if applicable), and more playtime or training sessions. I'll also check in with you, sending updates and photos of your fur-babies. **Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM):** Lunchtime! I'll ensure your pets are fed according to their dietary needs and schedule. After lunch, it's time for another walk for the dogs or some indoor playtime for pets needing more exercise. I'll also continue to monitor your pets for any signs of discomfort or stress and provide comfort as needed. **Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM):** Dinner time for your pets. I'll feed them and ensure they have fresh water. After dinner, there will be time for another walk or play session. I'll also spend some time just relaxing with your pets, as I believe that bonding time is essential for their emotional well-being. **Late Evening/Night (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM):** Before I call it a day, I'll take dogs out for a last quick bathroom break, tidy up the pet areas, and make sure all pets are comfortable and ready for bed. I'll also send you an end-of-day update so you can rest easy knowing your pets are well cared for. Please note that this is a general schedule and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to providing the best care for your furry (or feathery or scaly) family members! I currently do petsitting in the owners home, so the pets feel comfortable in an environment they are already comfortable in. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

About: I’m happy to serve Carteret County. I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc. I’ve always loved animals. I also have experience with animals with special needs. I am interested in walking dogs and checking in on pets. I work full time, but am available on my days off and in mornings or afternoons after my regular job. I am available most weekends. For now, I plan to do drop ins and walk dogs. Safety is top priority. I believe in meet and greets before working with animals to make sure the animal and owner is comfortable. I work full time and available most evenings and on my days off. Message me to check my availability. I am usually pretty flexible with my schedule! I am currently not able to accept animals in my own home. I may be able to offer this service in the future, but not at this time.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and 3 cats, i’ve grown up with many animals in the household growing up of all different kinds and was expected to pitch in and help out with them. Have also sat neighbors and friends animals as well as walked occasionally. I currently have a part time job at a restaurant but that’s not until around 4 so i’m looking for some side jobs monday thru friday this summer and possibly in the fall in the mornings just to get out of the house and make a little extra money. I think pets need some social time but they also need down and relaxing time so I think it’s important to give them a good mix of both.

“Cierra did an amazing job dog sitting , she kept us up to date on our animals. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet sitting needs”

About: My golden retriever and I moved to NC from the PNW this last year so we know how to adventure at its finest! I have grown up with many dogs and have taken care of every age. My goldie is 3 yo and very playful and full of love for the outdoors. We go on multiple walks a day, one of which entails trails or the beach and your doggy would be receiving the same care! I am working full time Monday-Wednesday & Friday, so am completely available and home full time on Thursday, Saturday/Sunday for a fun day with the pups! I currently walk my dog 2-3 times a day even during the week days and spend a lot of time outdoors as she’s young and energetic! She is always a big time snuggler and I look forward to spending time playing and cuddling with your pup as well! If you need pet care during the week I go for a long walk w my pup in the morning and as soon as I’m home from work, I do not crate her during the day so if your dog would do well I can do either! I do also occasionally come home on my lunch to let her out for a short walk as well if time allows. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard with a doggy door. Any speciality care that is desired, I am ready to give!
