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: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

5 stars aren't enough to express my appreciation for Jennifer's loving care of Dusty. It means the world to me to know that he is being loved, petted and entertained in a comfy home and yard with other doggy friends and a loving, attentive human. Dusty told me he is looking forward to more visits with Jennifer, Annie and Nicky!

About: I grew up with a wheaten terrier. I would always feed and walk neighbors pets while they were on vacation and watched neighbors pets in my home while they were gone for a week. I currently live with my boyfriend and his dog however they will be gone for the next 2 months so there will be no pets in the home. I work M-F, 8AM-3PM. I go on an 2-5 mile walk everyday and can tailor my activity to your dog’s needs. I like to walk around the loop in Wrightsville beach or on the river walk downtown! I live in a 2 bed apartment on the first floor that is very clean but very dog friendly! When my boyfriend is here, his dog lives with us but he is currently traveling for work (with the dog) so the apartment is very dog friendly with lots of toys and blankets everywhere!

About: I don't have any kids yet so all my love goes to my fur babies! I know how it can be when you are leaving town though and need someone to trust. I've had animals all my life and currently have two cats and a yorkie whom I adore and are always loving other animals! My brother lives nearby so he watches mine for me but I know we aren't always so fortunate to have family nearby. I'm used to taking care of animals of all sorts daily! So just give me a ring if you need a hand! I don’t have a day time job. My animals and I have a routine down. I work from home so super convenient and good for sitting/flexibility. I have a huge beautiful back yard that is fenced in. Super blessed to have found that downtown! Great for doggies to run around. My house is a decent size for fur babies to roam too.

Meghan was an absolute dream watching my dog Bodhi! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. From walks to plenty of playtime, Meghan kept Bodhi’s tail wagging the whole time. She sent regular updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her love for animals is so evident, and Bodhi was thrilled to spend time with her and her dog, Mr. Buttons. I’d trust Meghan with Bodhi anytime and can’t recommend her enough for her reliable, caring, and attentive pet-sitting!

About: I grew up in a household that always had a dog. I From a young age I began to understand all the work that is put in to making sure your dog has a happy and healthy life. I became so used to having a dog around that it became a staple comfort- knowing you have a best friend around all the time who loves you more than you could ever love them. Whenever I got the opportunity to look after a friend, neighbor or family members dog, I’ve always been excited to have the opportunity for some dog time. I have cared for a variety of dogs from all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments. I am capable of basic care (bathing, brushing, walking, playing, etc.) as well as foundational puppy training. I currently work remote which allows me flexibility to provide your dog care throughout the day. I have several friends whose furry family I look after regularly while they are away or as needed. I have taken in a couple fosters dogs, but unfortunately due to my current living situation I cannot have a dog of my own. I provide high communication of my activities and interactions with your pets. I am respectful of your house and the areas I will be entering (if necessary) in caring for your pet. I can follow instructions well and adjust my care based on what your pet needs.

About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.
