About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents since I was 12. I used to dog walk and house sit for neighbors and friends back in WA I am currently a Dental Assisting student at Coastal Carolina Community College and hope to go into the Dental Hygiene program. My schedule is very open in the afternoon and I want to fill up my time doing something I love I love to run with high energy dogs. Snuggle with any pets who a clingy. I’ll play with them before I leave so they get a little nap after.
“Michaela got back to me quickly to house sit and keep an eye on our pups. Sadly, our elderly lab passed before she was set to watch them. She was very sweet and patient with me as I was very stressed leaving our younger Aussie doodle behind, she’s never been without our lab and def not without both our lab and us. She kept us updated and was flexible with her time. She even came and spent extra time when we were going to be late knowing I was nervous about her adjusting to being alone. We came home to a happy dog and clean house. We are very grateful and would love to have Michaela help us with Lilly again in the future now that they’re buddies!”

“I cannot recommend Sandy enough! She took such great care of our pet and our house while we were gone. She sent daily pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, which we loved! We will 100% be using her as our permanent pet sitter!”

“Vivi was exceptional from our meet & great to our arrival back home. She appreciates clear instructions and follows them all. She communicated her arrival/departures and any scheduled duties timely and included pics to ease our mind. The home & pets were cared for as if all were her own. Her calm demeanor is what all pets (& parents) crave. We will book Vivi again if her schedule meshes with ours.”

“Rebekah did a great job pet sitting at our house with our 4-year old lab/belgian manois shepherd. We had a very last minute need for 4 nights/5 days in our home and Rebekah managed to make it work with short notice. Maya was happy and she has a new friend in Rebekah. We highly recommend her.”

“Riley was amazing! She quickly got my anxious Collie calm. I had Riley house sit. All the critters were in great spirits, happy and content. House was neat and tidy. She communicated daily with pictures. I highly recommend her!”

About: I absolutely love animals. I've had dogs and cats since I was 6. Since then I've help train a service dog and fostered many other dogs. I currently have three dogs: chihuahua mix, pug rat terrier mix, and a great Pyrenees. I currently am a personal trainer so I don’t have a set schedule. I will be able to let the pet outside or spend time with them in between clients. I can take the pets on daily walks, depending on their schedule and when they like to. I like to know where the food is and if they get treats for doing specific things.
About: I started out working with horses at a small little barn in Newport NC. I have owned lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, and two horses (not collectively at the same time!). I worked at Petsense as well where I worked with animals on a consistent basis as well as throw adoption events. I work remotely from home so my schedule is always flexible to meet the needs of anyones fur babies. I have a normal Monday through Friday 8-4:30 but am able to assist through my shift. I do not have a fenced yard but I am extremely close to very nice walking trails. I live right next to the beach as well.
About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.

About: Hello! My name is Moe and I have had the pleasure of being around animals my entire life. From helping my parents with the many pets we have owned to watching my neighbor's and relative's animals, and even farm sitting, taking care of and loving animals has been an integral part of my life! I have job experience at a pet boutique that also provided grooming, daycare, and boarding services. I also have work experience as a dog walker in the metro Atlanta area, and love getting to interact with the various types of pets I come across. I have all of the skills and experience to make sure your beloved pet is treated and taken care of the exact way it needs! Pet care is worked in to my weekly routine by ensuring we get plenty of time together before and after my work shifts. I work as the Studio Manager for our local Wine & Design with work days usually being Tuesday-Saturday 10 am - 6 pm! With pet parent permission I am allowed to bring dogs in to work to spend the day with me as well! I do my best to incorporate plenty of enrichment such as play time or walks to ensure that the critters are expending their energy and not spending too much time wondering where their owners are!!
