About: I have over 30 years experience taking care of dogs and will provide the love and care they need in their new "home away from home". I have a whole house generator so in case of storms, there will be no interruption in service. I am a very active individual and typically walk at least 3-5 miles per day with my little toy fox terrier. I am a nature lover and frequent the area's hiking trails and love to get out on the beach. I prepare my dog's meals using all natural ingredients (whole foods) and make a very healthy bone broth and organic barley. With parental permission I can use this as topper for your dog's kibble. I am a retired school teacher and am available year round. I am basically home all the time when I am not out on the nature trails. I would prefer sitting for dogs that weigh 30 pounds or less. Your fur baby will receive the love and attention it deserves from Caring Karen. I am a retired school teacher and when I am not out on the nature trails walking dogs, I am at home cooking or gardening. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention from Caring Karen. I have a fenced-in side yard and a gated back deck. My house is set back on a wooded lot with lots of shade. I live in a very quiet and safe neighborhood on a private road that is a dead-end. I know most of my neighbors and this is my forever home.

About: Experienced, compassionate pet care based in Sunset Beach. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience, I have cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), and even farm animals. No pet is too big or too small—I genuinely love them all! I bring nearly a decade of hands-on pet care experience and currently work as a veterinary technician. I am experienced working with dogs of all sizes—from tiny puppies to 100+ lb adults and seniors—and I am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special medical needs. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and attention I give my own. What You Can Expect: - A knowledgeable, trustworthy sitter with veterinary experience - Personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and needs - Dog walks & drop-in visits: photo/video updates, mail and package collection, and plant watering upon request - Pet & house sitting: mail/packages brought in, plants watered, and light household tasks if requested (additional fees may apply), ensuring you return to a happy pet and a well-kept home For the best experience, I prefer a meet-and-greet prior to bookings so I can meet you and your pets and learn their routine. This is required for pets that may be timid with strangers. Availability: I work full-time as a veterinary technician but am available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional midday visits possible within 6–7 miles of my workplace during my lunch break. If you’re looking for experienced, dependable, and professional pet care, I would love to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! This is my only job at the moment, so I have a very flexible schedule to help you out with your babies, big or small! *NO AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS* I will not look after any animal who may bite, and/or has bitten in the past. That is for my own safety, as well as keeping the animal out of stressful situations. This is also why I HIGHLY suggest a meeting before the service begins; for the pet(s) to meet me, and see if it will be a good match for everyone involved. I do not have any breed restrictions! All breeds are welcome! (Snakes/reptiles do not count towards this policy; I can take care of snakes/reptiles, knowing the possibility of a bite. I have had 3 snakes of my own, as well as plenty of experience taking care of & handling them when working at pet stores for over 5 years.)

About: Animals have always been the biggest part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for pets for years, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone else. I’ve also pet sat for animals on and off, for over a decade. I've cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from playful pups to sensitive or senior pets who need a little extra patience. I’m calm, gentle, reliable, and very tuned in to animal behavior. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, medication support, litter care, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely and have daytime flexibility. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, and companionship during select mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I’m intentional about keeping my schedule clear and reliable once a booking is confirmed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication needs, litter care, playtime, and any house specific routines. I’m respectful of each home and make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of calm attention. I’m very mindful of safety, including secure doors, leashes, gates, and each pet’s comfort level with new people, other animals, and outdoor environments. I pay attention to body language and never force interaction. My goal is for pets to feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while their person is away.

About: I've taken care of dogs, for walking and overnight arrangements, over the last 5 years and enjoy the experience. I'm easy to work with and a trustworthy person. I'm retired and have a flexible schedule so requests for daytime care, last minute emergency situations, or overnight stays are usually easy to accommodate and welcome. I will spend time with the pet, and the owner, to understand how to best care for your pup and to make sure we are aligned on the expectation when in my care.

“Lee is awesome!! I had an emergency and was in a pinch and Lee was an absolute lifesaver! She was so sweet to Peppeemint and sent a detailed report of their adventure! Could not thank and recommend Lee enough!”

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since about the age of 12. Growing up I would help look after my family, friends and neighbors animals when needed. I would help watch over the pets, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them for as long as needed! I am currently unemployed so I am available at any time of the day any day! I travel occasionally but that will always be communicated. The dog will always be my first priority! When taking dogs on walks I will make sure to always be aware of my surroundings. I will also make sure to not approach other animals to ensure the safety of both pets!

About: I have been taking care of my own 2 cats since I got them 7 years ago. I have been the main person responsible for grooming, feeding, cleaning out the litter box, etc. I also began volunteering at my local animal shelter 4 years ago. I learned a lot about training/walking dogs in addition to playing/socializing with the cats. I am very comfortable around pets from any background due to my time at the animal shelter. In addition I have taken care of friends and family’s pets when they have been out of town many times and made sure they were fed, clean, okay, etc. I have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs of many different backgrounds and feel confident in my ability to help care for your pets. I am currently a student and working part-time so I would have time outside of class and work to care for your pets. I have plenty of time in the afternoons that I am available to do drop in visits or walks. I would be best suited to do drop-in visits or walks. I would be able to stop by for however long is needed during my available time throughout the day to care for your pets. I will follow whatever instructions are given to me in order to care for your pets correctly.

About: I’ve been trusted to take care of others dogs and cats since I was 14 (walk, feed, bathe). I am open to any breed. I also work with both dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles, as I have a bearded dragon of my own.

About: I have been around different breeds/mixed dogs and cats for most of my life. I always have enjoyed their unconditional love and companionship. I had the experience of assisting in the birth of our Chihuahua giving birth to 6 pups. At one point we had 5 dogs and a cat from breeds from a Italian Cane Corso to Chihuahua's. They have given me so much love and affection over the years. Not to mention caring for them in the end which is the most difficult. I'm currently retired and having recently relocated to the area. I would be a great fit to care for your pet while you are at work or away on vacation. My schedule is flexible and ready to be a pet giver to your fur baby. I will give them the upmost attention for all of their needs.

“Mikayla did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for 3 weeks while we visited the area. She walked & played with him and made him feel very comfortable during his time away from home. My husband and I highly recommend Mikayla!”
