About: My kids and I love to walk dogs. This is an opportunity for us to spread the love as we do not have a dog of our own. Hiring me = 1, 2 or all 3 of my kids helping. My schedule is fairly flexible so I will be able to meet your needs especially if given more notice. Summer and after school hours means more likely one of my kids will be available to give additional love to your pet. Will walk your dog wherever you prefer. Dog can also be taken to an enclosed area like a dog park so the dog can run around freely.

About: Had pets all my life! Enjoy "extra" loving them! I had two rescues but was unable to bring them With me, broke my heart. Would love to do this. I'm retired, have plenty of time! I prefer to go to home, I live in an apt. But could still come here nice Dog Park. My time is pretty open. I make sure the owner and I understand their needs! I will make sure they get exactly what they need and more! I would treat them as my own.

“Highly recommend Justine as a sitter for your pet! Our animals immediately took to her which is unusual for our dogs. She communicated regularly and when questions came up made sure to reach out for clarification. She went beyond in her care for our animals and made us feel at ease knowing our pets were well taken care of! Will definitely use her services again in the future and can’t say enough just how great she is!”

“I moved here not knowing anyone and needed someone to come let my babies out 2 times a week. She came and met me and the pups; and we instantly loved her! She truly loves and cares so much for them just like her own! She is dependable and so sweet; and we will continue to rebook every week with her! Me and the pups are so thankful for her!”

“Kim was excellent! She dropped in on my dog twice a day for a week while I was out of town, once to walk him and once to feed him. Even though my dog can be a bit troublesome when it comes to meeting new people, he warmed up to Kim right away! She is kind, professional, and goes above + beyond. When my dog accidentally trapped himself in the laundry room and made a big mess in his panicked state, Kim immediately gave us an update and even cleaned up the mess. I highly recommend her services and will gladly use them again.”

About: Growing up with family we always had family dogs, which made me fall in love with animals and knew I’d one day be a pet owner myself! Around the year 2018 I became just that the “mom” of an Australian Sheppard named Charlie!! I can provide you and your babies safe, nurturing care for a wide range of animals. Friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their people at ease with reliable and conscientious care. While I am new to pet sitting others animals, I have tons of experience with close family members and friends animals and caring for them while they are away. My clients trust me to be in their homes and take care of the pets there, as I cannot take the animals to my own home. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!! I am available most of the time and will be able to be very flexible with scheduling. During the weekdays I have plenty of availability to care and play with your pets day and night. While in your home I am always respectful of belongings and privacy. Especially for cases of dog care I am never gone from the home longer than 4 hours. I treat all animals with love as if they were my own. Upon leaving, I always make sure that the home is in the same shape or better than when I arrived.

“Justin was great with my giant dog with orthopedic issues. Highly recommend!!!”

About: With extensive experience in both dog sitting and house sitting for multiple families, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a variety of dogs and ensuring their well-being while their owners are away. Whether it’s managing a household with multiple pets or providing one-on-one care, I pride myself on creating personalized experiences for each dog I care for. I am skilled at providing tailored walks—whether short strolls or longer, more vigorous outings—designed to meet your pet's specific energy levels and needs. Additionally, I am comfortable administering oral medications and supplements, ensuring that your dog's health is maintained even when you're not there. With a passion for play, I’m also an expert at interactive games like fetch, ensuring your dog stays active, engaged, and happy. I’m here in Morehead city for the summer visiting my sister. Schedule is wide open to walk, drop in or stay with your pets anytime. I hangout with my sisters sweet and loving 3 year old chocolate lab all day with lots of fetch and snuggles and long runs on the beach.

About: We’ve been dog sitting for family and friends over the past 10 years. Enjoy walking, playing and relaxing with them. Great with puppies to senior dogs.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets has taught me how to understand their unique needs, whether it’s providing gentle care for senior dogs or keeping up with the energy and training needs of puppies. I just graduated college so right now I have completely open availability! I’m available during both weekdays and weekends to care for pets, including boarding. This flexible schedule lets me give animals the time, attention, and love they deserve every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and schedule, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away!

“Our FurBabies are just that, our Babies… when you ask are stranger to take care a piece of your heart you’re putting a lot of faith in them. Our sitter, Keagen B, did just that - handled us we sweet loving care. She took great care of our cats, above and beyond my expectations. I would book with Rover (& Keagen) again in a heartbeat! 💜☮️‼️”

About: I am a passionate animal lover and have been for my entire life. I love all animals and have chosen to pursue a career as a zookeeper. I graduated from college with an Associates Degree in Zoo Science and Technology. After graduating I worked for Petco for almost 2 years. I am now currently working for Petsmart and have been for almost 2 and half years. So I have extensive knowledge and experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I have been my childhood neighbors dog sitter for the past 10 years and have been a petsitter for multiple other people including co-workers. I even have experience with small animals such as hamsters and reptiles. I treat all pets as if they are my own and would love the chance to care for yours! I am currently working part-time at Petsmart and work at least five days a week. I work mostly mornings so my afternoons are usually free! I cannot offer to watch your pet at my home, as I am renting; however, I am very comfortable visiting your home to care for your pet! I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.

About: Hi, I’m Julie—a full-time high school English teacher with a lifelong love for animals and two grown children of my own. During the summer, I’m available full-time for pet sitting, and I offer limited availability during the school year. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for my sister’s elderly dogs and two cats, and I was a proud dog mom myself for many years. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m also an avid runner, so if your dog needs more than a leisurely stroll, I’d be happy to take them on longer walks or runs to burn off energy and stay healthy. Whether your furry friend needs a calm companion, a playful pal, or someone who knows how to scoop the litter box with grace—I’m your person! I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to follow any special routines your pet requires. Let’s chat and see how I can help! Since I am a teacher and my 2 boys are grown, I am almost always availabe during the summer months. I am available durng the school year on a more limited basis. I am out of school from June 6-August 15 (give or take a few days depending on the year). Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting your home or caring for pets in mine, I always follow your instructions closely and maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure food, medications, and routines are followed exactly as requested, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I’m respectful of your space, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet!

About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
