“Abigail and her family have been amazing with my 2 girls! She is super communicative and made sure she knew everything about the girls before the start date. The girls always come home happy and tired, and Abigail always sends pictures of all the fun they have. Highly recommend!”

“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”


About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our Pepper. She provided daily updates and photos, and it was apparent that Pepper was enjoying his time with her. We highly recommend Michelle”

“Samantha is a wonderful dog sitter!! Knox is always so excited when we pull up to her house and she loves Samantha, her family and their dogs. She keeps me updated every day with pics and videos. We are very grateful to have found such an amazing sitter for Knox!!”

“Very warm and loving household and super helpful little ones to boot! Sayton is POOPED and had a great weekend all on short notice. Our new beach getaway dog-auntie! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.”

“Karleigh was fantastic!! This was my first time using Rover and was quite nervous. Karleigh took such great care of him and sent my photos and updates so I could see how much fun he was having!! She even gave him a report card to take home to show how good he did!! Karleigh truly took care of my little guy like he was her own!!!”

“Meg is incredible! It was love at first meet and greet 😊 our dogs were so loved and taken care of we were almost afraid they wouldn’t want to be picked up. Meg sent us multiple pictures of what activities our dogs were up to each day. Meg cared for our dogs like they were her own babies. We will definitely be using Meg for any future trips!!! 1000% would recommend! 🥰”

About: I work from home, so your pup gets constant care and company. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs, tailoring my care to their needs. Plus, our friendly dog makes every guest feel right at home! I’m able to give pets attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Morning and evening walks, yard play sessions, and plenty of snuggles are built right into my routine—so your pet will feel loved and cared for every moment they’re here. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of supervised play. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and rest to help them feel at home. They get lots of attention, exercise, and snuggles—plus playtime with our friendly dog if they’re social. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and stick to the same schedule, rules, and routines their pet is used to. My goal is always to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Tianna was amazing and so sweet to our pup. She sent pictures and updates daily which helped me a lot throughout this whole process. Will definitely ask her again to watch our pupper! She's super patient and flexible which was great for our hectic schedule.”

About: I am a USMC vet and I’ve been around pets basically all my life and found a passion for it. I have over 4 years with working with pets in a professional field. I currently have open availability during the week and weekend. I’m available any time during the day and any last minute requests for all pets. I have a fenced In large yard so pets are able to roam free and have plenty of play time throughout the day and stay.
About: Hi! I’m new to the area and would love to meet all the neighborhood animals! I recently moved here from Michigan to live with my husband here in the Slocum neighborhood in Havelock North Carolina. Back home I have two puppies, Millie and Ruby and here in North Carolina I have a puppy and kitty named pepper and maple. Back home I have been reliable to take care of my neighbors dog and cat to take care of them by feeding their dog and cat, taking their dog for walks, playing with their dog and cat and making sure their dog goes outside to go potty. I love being a parent to my puppy and kitty and it’s the best part of my day to come home to them 💕🐾🐶🐱 I’m unemployed and currently looking for a job but I’ll be able to take care of your animals during the day throughout the week and at night if needed. I have a fenced in backyard which is where I take out my puppy maple out to go potty. As mentioned before I have kitty named pepper as well. Maple is 6-7 months old and gets along well with other animals and is a very friendly and social dog. I take maple for walks and sometimes for runs often. We do have a pet scorpion as well but he stays in an enclosed glass cage away from the other animals. Pepper has her own room where she sleeps and has a litter box, a cat tree, and a food and water bowl. Both pepper and maple are allowed on the furniture and maple has a dog kennel and two dog beds but she sleeps in our room. And she also has a food and water bowl in the kitchen area. There are plenty of toys for the animals to play with but you are welcome to bring your own toys as well. I would also like to add that there will be no additional caretakers and it’ll just be me.
About: As a Family I’ve been taking care of pets for over 40 years. We took in bunnies, parakeets, dogs, cats. Especially close to my heart are senior pets. I am retired but help out with school drop off and pick up for my grandkids and watch them when they are out of school. They are all pet lovers and respectful of pets. I have a fenced in backyard and an elderly dog who loves spending time with other dogs I also go to friends and relatives houses to take care of their pets.
“Oakley enjoyed staying with Kenzie!! They were very flexible with us concerning drop off and pick up times. Would definitely board with them again! It's always hard to leave your dog, but we felt good leaving her with Kenzie. A very positive experience all around.”
