Pet Sitting in Grandy

“Haley checked on our 2 cats for us while we were away on vacation. She was very punctual and sent us updates/photos the entire time. We would definitely love to have her watch our fur babies again in the future!”

About: Hi there! I’m Shelley — a seasoned and trustworthy sitter offering in-home pet care across the Outer Banks. I specialize in keeping your pets safe, happy, and right on schedule while you’re away. Whether it’s a daily drop-in, a neighborhood walk, or staying overnight at your home, I bring consistency and genuine care to every visit. Based in KDH, I serve the surrounding Outer Banks communities within a 30-mile radius. Flexible, dependable, and always communicative, I’m here to make travel less stressful for both you and your furbabies. I care for both dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and needs and always treat your home with the same respect I give your pets.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. Back in Texas, I had a hobby farm with cats, goats, chickens, and my lovable dog, Hero. We even boarded dogs on occasion, and my passion for animals has only continued to grow. These days, I enjoy getting outside often—I’m a recreationalist who loves walking and hiking with my own dog. Now that I’m new to the Outer Banks, I’d love the opportunity to walk your dogs or stop in for house visits with other pets, too. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved. You can feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to answer any questions or concerns before booking to help put your mind at ease. I am currently a stay at home Mom, with school just around the corner I will be kid free with plenty of time to care for your pets! While caring for your pets in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll happily provide updates about the visit—including whether they ate, went potty, and how they’re feeling—along with photos and even our walk route. I can also administer any needed medications, crate them if required, and ensure your home is secure before I leave.

“Lindsey was a great babysitter for our Poppy! She checked in each day and sent pics/videos. I felt at ease knowing our kitty was getting attention and love while we were away. Thank you!”

About: I've been dog-sitting for neighbors for 20 years, I've volunteered at animal shelters, and I'm very active and willing run your dog around. I've got a very calm personality and am very patient with skittish pets, but I have no problem with the rowdier dogs. I'm currently between jobs, so I'm available most weekdays during work hours for walks. Very flexible on weekends, and I'm usually available for overnight stays, though I may be busy 7-10pm. I usually just let myself in, take it slow, give the dog a few minutes to get used to me, follow any directions on treats or food, then take them out for a good walk.

About: I love any and ALL animals, big or small. I have had my pets my entire life including both cats and dogs. I treat every pet as if it was my own and can cater to any specific needs. I can do walks or care visits in the morning or evenings. Typical between 7-9 a.m. and 7-10p.m. I can also take specific requests for times I will always make sure we have properly fitting and functional equipment when going for walks and ALWAYS make sure they get a good drink afterwards

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my entire life from dogs all the way to alpacas! I grew up riding and taking care of horses since I was 6 which came with learning about how different animals communicate. I also grew up with 2 Jack Russell’s who were both my best friends until they passed from old age. I am luckily the only member of my family who isn’t allergic to cats, I think it’s because my grandmother had 20+ cats when I was a kid, and I made it my personal goal to befriend every single one. I love animals and I promise I will love your dog, cat, fish, snake, etc just as much! If you do happen to have a pet that is not a dog that needs to be watched let me know, and we can work something out! I currently work full time at a fishing pier Monday through Friday and work part time as a server, and do kayak tours on the side, so this is also a part time gig. I want as much time hanging out with your fluffy friend as you do, so please request at least a week before your visit to the Outer Banks or if you live full time here. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for long walks on leash, and I live with my boyfriends 4 year old golden retriever named Axel (the boyfriend too) and often bring him on many adventures with my rover returnees.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!

“Emma did an amazing job! She was very quick to respond to Rover messages and was accommodating to requests I made about care for my pet. Next time I need pet care, I'm hoping Emma will be available. Highly recommended!!”

About: Currently have two large dogs (husky/German Shepherds) that I walk and care for daily. I am young and strong and can handle small and large sized dogs. I also have experience with cats, tortoises and other reptiles. I have a flexible schedule and can be contacted last minute to help care for your pets. I also have experience with older animals that may need help just standing up or getting in or out of vehicles and have special diets. Your pets safety is my first concern and I will always insure your dog is not allowed to be loose and uncontrolled. I am also comfortable with large, strong dogs that may be too much for other people to handle. I will also communicate with you in a Regular basis to let you know how your pet is doing. Including pictures.

About: I know I could never replace you but I would be so happy to keep your pet company while you are away. I love to take pets out for a walk, work on teaching them new tricks, or just hang with them around the house. I have experience with all kinds of animals from fish to alpacas and so much in between. I have worked with day old kittens, bottle fed a squirrel, and cared for a dog through its old age and into its passing. No matter what stage of life your pet is in, I can be a gentle and fun caregiver to keep your special friend company. Currently, I am working full-time. My work schedule is typically 7hrs a day or less. I enjoy going for walks and hanging out on the beach but can adjust my plans as needed to be present for your pet. I am a responsible house sitter. I believe in leaving places and pets better than I found them in any way that I can. I keep the house tidy and try to teach pets or just show them a good time during the time that I have with them.

About: Hi! My name is Kelsey. I can assure you that your pet will be loved & cared for as if they were my own❤️ I grew up with dogs my whole life and I often volunteer at animal shelters. Making your animal feel loved and cared for is my number one priority. I grew up with a lab, golden retriever, and an Alaskan Malamute in my house. I have the maturity, energy levels and personality to provide the absolute best possible care for your beloved while you’re away. I also have references for you if you’d be interested. As I mentioned, I do school from home so I have plenty of time to give your pet exactly what it needs. For the most part, they will rarely be left alone since I’m currently a full time student. They will have plenty of walks, exercise, affection, cuddles and belly rubs etc while you’re away! I can accomadate your dog’s usual walk schedule and also furniture, food, exercise, play, affection and temperament needs. I will also communicate and send pictures and videos to reassure you, unless you don’t want to get them frequently just let me know! I’m very present and affectionate with the dogs who stay with me. They can cuddle and sleep on my bed with me or the couch if that’s what they’re used to at home with you. There’s plenty of room for their doggy bed and toys.❤️ Lastly, I will only have other dogs at the same time as yours if it’s with prior permission. I am currently doing college online which means I have a lot of free time during the day so I would definitely be walking and playing with your dog plenty!❤️ Let me know if you have any special requests for your pet and I will be more than happy to accommodate! Also I have a fenced in yard so they can run around as much as they would like.

About: I have always loved and been surrounded by dogs growing up. I'm looking for some fur babies to spoil. I would love to take them for walks or just leisurely relax on porch if they prefer. Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets. They also will enjoy being able to roam free while I'm here. However, on a few occasions I may leave for 3-4 hrs for a client meeting. Presently only taking non-aggressive pets. I'm happy to pickup or drop off your pup if needed. Only willing to do house sitting in a non-smoking home and fully Air conditioned/heated. My schedule is accommodating so I'm open to last minute bookings and can guarantee quality time with your pet. Please feel free to text or call. Look forward to meeting and getting to know your pup. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for sitting most weekdays and weekends just let me know what days you need. I will be happy to take your dog for a walk on a leash during the day or let them run around in a fenced yard if you have one. I can easily crate them if you need me to.

“I would recommend Kris to anyone seeking an animal sitter! I never worry when she is walking my baby for me while I am at work…& this mama worries all the time!!!”
