Dog Sitting Castle Hayne

“Phoebe was so great! She was available to check in on my cat Winnie over the holidays on short notice. She was very thorough and asked tons of questions during the meet and greet. When we got home from traveling, Winnie was very happy and very well taken care of. Thank you Phoebe!”

I am a very fit D1 track and field athlete at UNCW which makes me an amazing dog walker for all kinds. I have lots of patients and always have cared for all animals. I have done lots of dog sitting in my hometown and always been trusted by other dog owners. I am a college athlete with a busy schedule during the week, but I often have time in the evenings to care for all pets! I would love to be a part of the dog walking community and earn some money for school. I care for my pets and others pets in whichever way the owner would like me to. Every animal is different so catering to whatever they need is most important. Making sure the pet is happy and healthy is always my number one priority. I enjoy spending time with pets just as much as there owner and always making all animals comfortable.

About: 5+ years of walking dogs + dog sitting. Worked with all sizes and ages, and in multiple dog households. As my Great Grandpa was a vet, I have been around animals ever since a young age, and have developed an unconditional amount of love for them. I am currently a full-time student at UNCW and have classes everyday throughout the week. I am completely free majority of weekends and majority of weekdays besides times during class. I love to go on a walks and being outside with my dogs and would love the same with yours! I am also a huge snuggler and will give your dog all the love it deserves while you’re gone!

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician who spent years working hands-on with animals. While I loved the work, the field could be a bit emotionally heavy at times—so I decided to step back and find a happier, more balanced way to stay close to the animals I adore. That’s what brought me to dog walking and drop-in visits! I truly enjoy long walks and runs with my own dogs, so if you have an active pup who needs a good workout, I’ve got you covered. I share my home with two big dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. All of my animals have special diets and unique needs, so I’m extra careful and experienced when it comes to following feeding instructions, administering medications, or keeping routines just right. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I see them. I'm an aspiring actress and also work as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule. I typically work Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7 PM to close, and Fridays and Saturdays from 12 PM to 7 PM. While I have other commitments throughout the week, I’m great at managing my time and can usually adjust my schedule to make room when needed. I take the care of animals very seriously—both in my home and in my clients’ homes. My own pets have taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I have two big dogs and two cats, all of whom have special needs. One of my dogs only has three legs and has been through extensive rehabilitation and medical care, so I’m very familiar with mobility issues, post-op routines, and the importance of adapting exercise to the animal’s capabilities. All four of my pets are on different prescription diets and medications, so I’m experienced in administering meds properly, sticking to feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior changes. Whether I’m caring for animals in my own home or visiting yours, I bring that same level of attentiveness and compassion. Every pet is unique, and I always take the time to understand and follow their specific needs and routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I’ve been an owner of 3 pets for more than 10 years. I’m a pre-veterinarian student and have worked at animal hospitals for 5 years. Everyday as I take care of my cat and used to intern at paws4people and took care of puppies while they were growing into adolescence. I care for every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. In my home, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles!

About: I have an understanding in a cat's behavior, as cats have different needs and communication styles compared to other pets. I will respect and maintain the cat’s usual routines and environment, which is crucial for their comfort and well-being. When I’m not cat sitting I am a freelance photographer so I have time to take care of your cat! I will always list my availability in my calendar. Feeding: Following your cat's specific diet and schedule. Making sure fresh water is always available. Exercise: AKA playtime for cats Clean-up: Tidy up litter boxes, clean food and water bowls, and manage any messes.

About: I’m an active, outdoorsy animal lover with years of firsthand experience caring for dogs, including six years with two large dogs of my own. I’ve also lived with and helped care for my parents’ dogs and, more recently, two large dogs in a previous household. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and giant breeds, as well as puppies. I’m also insured and bonded. To me, pet care is about much more than feeding and walking. I want your pet to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Having had dogs of my own, I understand how much trust it takes to leave an animal you love in someone else’s hands. I enjoy following each pet’s normal routine closely and giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I’ll care for your pet with the same thoughtfulness and love I would want for my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so weekday pet care fits around my work schedule. I usually need to be at work by 8:00 AM and am off by 5-5:15 PM. My ability to get away during lunch varies and is not guaranteed. My overnight shows as unavailable Tuesdays — however, Tuesday may be possible depending on my work schedule. Please message me if you’re interested and I’ll be happy to see if I can make it work. For drop-in visits and dog walks, my profile lists availability for up to two visits per day. On weekends, I can often accommodate more than two visits or walks per day. On weekdays, visits and walks are available after work, with evening appointments beginning by 6:00 PM. My schedule can vary, so if the timing you need doesn’t appear to match my listed availability, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to check my schedule and see what’s possible. My weekends are especially flexible, giving me more availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays without the weekday workday constraints. I’m also happy to consider last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure their needs are fully met, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, crate time, or letting your dog out in the yard as needed. I’ll spend time outside with them rather than simply opening the door and leaving them alone. If your pet is allowed on furniture or sleeps in a certain spot, I’m happy to follow the same household rules you use. My goal is to keep things familiar, safe, and low-stress while giving your pet plenty of attention and companionship. In addition to following your pet’s routine and safety instructions closely, I carry independent pet-care liability insurance and bonding for added peace of mind.

About: I am a lifelong pet lover who has been pet sitting cats, dogs, and fish for neighbors, family, and friends from a young age. I have experience caring for adult and senior dogs as well as kittens-senior cats, and I have extensive experience administering topical and oral (both liquid and tablet) medications. I prioritize fostering a safe, calm, and consistent environment for pets, ensure they receive lots of enrichment and attentive care, and strive to stick as closely to their normal routine as possible. I believe our pets are our family, and always make sure to care for all pets as if they are my own. I work a flexible hybrid schedule that allows me to set my own hours and work remotely as needed. Thanks to this flexibility, I am able to adjust my daily schedule to fit the needs of any pet's routine. I have found that many pets tend to be most comfortable being cared for within their own homes. I prioritize adhering to their normal routines and environments as much as possible. I treat all homes I spend time in with care and respect. I'm always happy to water plants and tend to additional home care needs, and always make sure to leave spaces tidy and clean.

“I knew from the meet and greet that Lexi Ann would be a great fit for Mac. She was punctual, did everything I asked, and Mac was well-cared for while I was gone. I got pics to know my pup was doing well. I would recommend Lexi Ann and will certainly use her again when the need arises.”

“Megan was super accommodating and helpful in continuing my dog’s physical therapy after his recent surgery. On first meet up my dog overwhelmingly responded positively to her and absolutely loved her company. There were several tasks I asked her to complete to continue his PT and she did all of them with no issues. Needless to say, she has been a life saver ??????”
