Dog Sitting in Castle Hayne

“Jennifer is so conscientious with our pets and their needs. She also always leaves the house just as she found it or better.”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of our household pets since I was young. I have experience walking and working with dogs of various sizes. I’ve worked as a volunteer animal handler for Eagle's Den Animal Haven & Rescue, where I worked with puppies and abused animals to get them socialized, leash trained, and comfortable with people. I also have experience doing long-distance animal transport through volunteer work with Wheels4Paws and a job with New Start Animal Transport. Through all of this, I have found a passion for working with animals and I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I'm currently working part-time in the evenings. My normal start time for that job is 5:30pm. So, I'm available most days from 8:00am to 4:00pm, and late evenings after work when house/pet sitting. I try to maintain the same kind of care and routine that you have gotten your pet accustomed to. This includes sleeping arrangements, diet, feeding times, play times, and walks.

At my home in Winston-Salem, I have a spacious house on 2 acres of land (unfenced), perfect for supervised outdoor time, walks, and play. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for wherever they are.

“Both during the initial visit and while she was taking care of them, Ashleigh was great with my dogs! My three husky mixes loved her! She took the time to go outside and engage with each one of them and cater to their individual personalities. She was extremely patient with their high energy needs and even took the time to send me several photos of them playing in the yard. Her exerperince of currently being in Vet school, and of previously working in a kennel and as a Vet Assistant really put me at ease in that if there were some type of an emergency, Ashleigh would be able to promptly and properly be able to handle it. I will defintely request Ashleigh's services again in the future!”

“Colby and Debbie have been dropping in on Jack for a couple of weekends now and he LOVES their visits. They give me great updates on how he is doing and makes sure all his needs are met with each drop in visit. I will be using them on a regular basis!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, play, and feed their pets. I have a year experience at a doggy daycare facility where I was trained to handle dogs of all different behaviors and sizes. I have a little bit of experience bathing dogs as well. I am an online college student so I can do my college whenever and wherever I’m located. I have open availability for the most part but I will be taking vacations in the future. I can take boarding dogs if needed as I am home full-time. It is currently just my boyfriend and I living together in a 2 bedroom apartment. By not having a yard due to living in an apartment, for fun simulation, I will take your dog to parks to walk/run/play. I also have lots of mind stimulating toys here at my apartment so we will always find a way to play and spend time together! When the summer gets warmer, if you allow, I can take your pup to the beach for some fun! While at your house, I will always make sure your dog is safe by checking to see if there’s any holes in fences or if I need to shut a gate that was opened. I will gladly water plants, pick up poop in your yard and bring your mail in for you as well.

“So glad that I found Brooklin! She has been a huge help with my precious Honey!”

“Perfect match for my furbabies! Kiera came prior to the actual sitter services to get to know our animals and their routine. She was comfortable and natural act connecting with them. I provided her with details of their care to which she easily followed. She came twice a day and spent time with our dog and cats ensuring their needs were met and even gave them extra love. I received photos and videos of them from each visit. I will definitely reuse her services in the future.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so caring for animals has been a steady part of my life for a long time. Through Paws4People and an Assistance Dog Training minor, I’ve gained experience working with dogs of different temperaments and learning how to support good behavior and calm handling. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler routine, and I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently not working elsewhere, which allows for a very flexible schedule! I’m able to do frequent drop-ins, extended visits, or stay with your pup as needed to keep them on their normal routine and give them consistent care and attention. I’m not able to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to provide care in the comfort of their own environment where they feel most secure! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, all care is provided in the client’s home where pets are most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs, and I can also take them on walks as often as needed. I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and tailored to each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, make sure they get plenty of attention and enrichment, and always respect the home as if it were my own!

“Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!”

About: Reliable and attentive professional dog sitter dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and stress-free care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Experienced in daily routines including feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining consistent schedules to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Known for a calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail, I focus on building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra support, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and a clean, secure environment so owners can have complete peace of mind. Passionate about animal wellbeing and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I have decided to make caring for pets my full time job. I am single and live alone with my 2 yr old female pupper. We have plenty of time to make your fur babies feel how special they actually are. I have a small fenced in yard. If it's nice out then I like to leave it open so they have free reign. My place is small so I'm always near. I will only accept pets that get along with other dogs. It starts with my dog, Kaiya. She gets along with all dogs so if a dog has a problem with her then they won't be invited for doggy day care. However, that does not mean I cannot pay a visit to your house for any needs. I can also crate any dog that is better suited for that environment. Safety for all pups under my watch is the number one priority.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently working part time, so there is plenty of time to play! I am available Most days for walks, stopping by, or boarding. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure the environment stays clean and safe by securing doors and gates, keeping food and water areas tidy, and removing any potential hazards. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my approach—whether that means energetic play, calm companionship, or giving them space. I always provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a 2 minute walk to two different dog parks, and a large area to run around in, or a safe comfortable environment without other pets or kids to be the home away from home.
