Cat Sitting in Holly Ridge

“Jessica was great with my 3 dogs. Was on-time with showing up and took plenty of photos. I will definitely be using Jessica in the future and would highly recommend.”

“Lizzy is great! She took great care of our kitties again while we were on vacation. I appreciated her thoughtful updates daily letting me know how our cats were doing. She even noticed a small scratch near my cats eye and monitored it daily to make sure it didn’t get worse. She is very attentive and reliable.”

Kristina P.

“Leli is the best! We were gone for a long trip and she was able to do drop in visits for my cat every day. Leli puts so much care and time into her daily check-ins - the photos and detailed notes were much appreciated and puts your mind at ease when you’re on a trip! I love that she adapted to whatever my cat wanted to do that day and spent time with him.”

“I've worked with Grace twice now and will keep coming back to her. She has fantastic communication, is trustworthy, and my fur babbies lover her. Give her a try, and you won't be disappointed.”

About: Experience: With over 20 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I treat every pet like family. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care. I love staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment, but I’m just as happy giving extra cuddles and companionship to those who need a slower pace. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved just like they would at home. Why choose me? I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely love what I do. I provide updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is in great hands. You can trust that your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I currently have full availability, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I’m very flexible and can easily follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet friendly home. I can accommodate crates if needed and always follow your pet’s routine closely. My two friendly dogs are well socialized, but I can easily separate pets if preferred. With my background in education and psychology, I’m highly attentive to behavior and individual needs, creating a calm, structured, and loving environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. This has led me to manage my own small farm. This experience has given me the opportunity in pet care. I'm used to the high-level responsibility of keeping diverse animals healthy, happy, and safe. Ready to fill summer spots. Book your vacation times now for June thru Aug. I'm currently working at an elementary school so can only provide care in the evenings at this time, and anytime weekends. Full open schedule beginning June 12. When caring for your pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also provide daily photo updates if you would like.

“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”

About: Over the years I've taken care of every pet known to man. From ball pythons to tiny gold finiches, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. From the time I could walk my family has had a dog (we had five when I was 6) and I've cared for everyone of them. I've pet sat, dog walked, and even done some puppy training, though Im no expert, for friends and family. From feeding blind senior dogs with no teeth to cleaning up puppy poops I've done it. Walks, playtime, food time and bathroom times I can do it all. Just give me intructions and I'll be able to get it done. I currently work on Sundays at a local church so I can work with your schedule and your time constraints week days, weekends or just a few hours. I can be as flexible as you need. I do have a personal policy of no same day bookings because of how busy my schedule can be. If I'm dog sitting I'll need a list of what you'd like me to do for and with your dog be that taking him/her on a walk, potty breaks, food time, or just providing company and comfort. I'll need to know any medications, food requirements, allergies or medical issues that your dog may have. I have a very big and very friendly golden retriever named Troy and a very sassy tabby cat named Bas who both love new friends. Troy especially loves new playmates. It's whatever you need me to do to make sure that your fur baby is as safe and as comfortable as possible.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have some vet experience, and have house sat for many friends. I am very patient with dogs and cats. I treat any animal as my own and have personal training experience with my dog as well. I am currently working part time and have a lot of time during the week and weekends to play with your fur babies to give you a piece of mind! Unfortunately I have 3 animals at home so I am not able to have animals at home :( I love dogs and cats and want to help anyone who may not have as much time to get out with their fur babies or for those that just need a breather!

“Does a really good job of being attentive with the dogs and keeping them occupied. I will 10/10 be using Breanna to take care of my doggos in the future.”

“Stacie handled my dog with such love and care! He wasn’t feeling well when I left for my trip and she quite literally nursed him back to health. He takes a little bit to open up to strangers and she was extremely patient and gracious with him. I came back to a clean and happy little guy. Definitely the best I could have hoped for!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.

“Ally was great! She rolled with the punches my crew threw at her and communicated everyday with the happenings. I appreciated her attentiveness and patience winning over my shy pup! Will definitely request her again for my future trips.”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and well-being. My experience includes everything from daily walks and feeding to administering medication, grooming, and providing loving companionship. I recently left my career as a mental health therapist to homeschool my child. He has a huge passion for animals, and in addition to our pup at home, we both would like more experiences taking care of and being around other animals. We have time out in the community built into his school schedule each day where checking-in or dog walking would fit in nicely. I will work to build rapport and get to know your pet’s behaviors, routines and any special needs. I’ll strictly adhere to your guidelines for feeding, exercise and any special care needed. I’ll be sure to keep your home secure by locking doors and securing gates to ensure the safety of your pet and home. I’ll treat your home with care and communicate with you regularly. I’m highly observant and will watch for any signs of illness or distress in your pet and will address them and reach out to you promptly.
