Cat Sitting Holly Ridge

About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a Navy retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!

“Danielle was a fantastic dog/cat sitter! She always kept us up to date with her check in’s. My dog was happy to have someone to hang out with while we were gone. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Danielle!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting cats, dogs, and hamsters for the majority of my life. I’m very good with dogs and cats. Both of my dogs are well trained. I’m currently working remotely and attending online school. This will allow me to give your pets a great experience and loving care! I walk my two dogs at least once a day if not twice, I would love to bring yours along with! I have a fenced in yard and two playful dogs to keep yours company! Also a great walking area my dogs and I love to walk almost everyday! My dogs have their own room in my house with their cages that are left open all day, this gives them a place to go rest! Of course your dog will be welcome to do the same!

About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.

“Made it comfortable for Sasha while I was gone when she’s usually scared of new people and even washed her off after peeing in her diaper! An all around great care taker for a last minute situation and definitely would recommend again in the future.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and I am very good at reading cues, handling behavioral issues, and open to all personalities! I have lots of experience with larger dogs primarily pitbulls, labs, terriers, shepherds, and cattle dogs. I have always loved animals and I understand how difficult it can be to leave your in someone else's care. I am open to dogs cuddling with me, sleeping with me, loving on me and vice versa. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!

“Lana was an excellent sitter for my cat! She was always very quick with responses and followed care instructions perfectly. I would recommender her in a heartbeat!”

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience volunteering at my local animal shelter two to three times a week. I regularly walk dogs, foster animals in my home, and transport animals to meet rescue organizations. Through volunteering and fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 *Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) course taken with Appalachian State University* I’m available on weekdays and some weekends. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I can accommodate drop-in visits and make sure your beloved family member gets plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and care while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow feeding, medication, and care instructions closely and always make sure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m also experienced with fostering and caring for animals that need a little extra attention.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have more than 15 years of experience caring for dogs through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering in shelters, and caring for other people’s pets. I currently have two Chihuahuas of my own, Tinky and Teddy, so I’m especially comfortable with small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has their own routine, temperament, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and happy to follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, medications, crate time, and sleeping arrangements. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular updates while in my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel confident that your baby is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I work remotely, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, including many evenings and weekends. Because I have two dogs of my own, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I’m happy to adjust that routine based on your dog’s normal schedule and individual needs. I also enjoy taking relaxed neighborhood walks and spending plenty of time snuggling at home. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment in Surf City with my two small dogs. Visiting pets are always supervised, kept leashed outside, and given a calm space where they can settle in and feel comfortable. I can keep pets separated when needed for meals, rest, or a slower introduction. Before boarding, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, triggers, medical needs, and how they typically interact with other dogs. A meet-and-greet is always welcome so we can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.
