About: I’m a devoted dog mom and lifelong animal lover excited to start caring for pets in the Holly Ridge, Topsail, Hampstead, and Wilmington areas. I previously cared for dogs in the Washington, DC area, and I’m thrilled to bring that experience and passion to my new community. I provide personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means regular potty breaks, daily walks, energetic playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding routines, and even helping with basic training and reinforcing good behaviors. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pup like my own and can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work from home and I am therefore very flexible especially for boarding and pet sitting. I can also be flexible for walks and drop in's, although I do have a few meetings throughout the week I cannot miss. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 5 year old dog who is used to having other dogs in his home. We also have a dedicated dog room with a bed, light, fan, and water/food bowls. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for zoomies and live close to nice walking trails and the beach.

“We had an amazing experience with Jessie! She was kind, communicative and trustworthy throughout the process. She really went above and beyond and my dog loved her! We will definitely trust our dog with her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I love all dogs and have mostly worked with medium to large breeds. I have six+ years of dog watching experience! My early experience was staying in-home with the dog for up to two weeks. I now provide mainly drop ins and dog walking. I am comfortable with watching up to three dogs at a time and can also help out with any additional pets you may have. I have experience with cats, rabbits, and rats. I try to maintain your schedule as much as possible to keep your dog’s routine in order! I am looking forward to meeting your dog and giving them just as much attention as you would if you were there! I recently moved back to the area and am available most weekdays and weekends. I’d love to help watch/walk your dog as needed! Please check my calendar for the most up to date information! I enjoy walking around neighborhoods and will give your dog plenty of time to take in the smells! I will reinforce any training you may be working on with your pup.


“When I moved to town, Holly took care of my dog right away and every day I was at work. I haven't used another sitter since - Holly is a quick and consistent communicator, always willing to help, very kind, and is patient with my often crazy schedule. I highly recommend contacting Holly for your pet's needs ?”


“Maddie is great! She walks Kirby and Rocco every week and is prompt, professional and very trustworthy. She always sends the rover card and pics and the pups love their walks with Maddie!”


About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Trusted Dog Sitter 🐾 About Me: Hi, I’m Brook – a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I’ve been looking after pups since I was 15, starting with dog sitting for neighbors and family friends. I know firsthand how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind – that’s why my goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. From tiny paws to senior snouts, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the care, comfort, and attention they deserve! I’m a part-time teacher on Camp Lejeune, which means I’m available weekdays after 12:30 PM and completely free on weekends. I’m usually home by 1 PM and spend the rest of the day relaxing, hanging out and caring for yours! Your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and time to play or just chill out — whatever makes them happiest. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun adventures tailored to your dog’s personality ✅ 100% transparency before and during the stay ✅ Daily photo updates and check-ins ✅ A calm, clean, and pet-friendly home ✅ Personalized care — whether they’re a couch potato or an explorer!

About: With my experience of caring for my family’s small yorkies for the past 14 years, I say that my skills are mostly surrounded in the area of caring for older animals. Although in more recent years I have only had smaller pets, bigger pets are not out of range for me since I often care for my neighbors golden retrievers. I am a full time undergrad student who also works part time at a local brewery, although that may mean that my hours are limited, I often see pet sitting as luxury to help me connect with nature and take time out of my typical homework schedule. I strive to create a welcoming and safe environment for the pets whenever I am caring for them. This can include daily walks, regular feeding schedules, and ample playtime. I also prioritize cleanliness and do not mind brushing and bathing the animals to keep them clean and healthy

“I have already left one review but wanted to leave one more. Kasey helps us out (sometimes last minute) when I'm not feeling the best. This is the best Rover sitter around and highly recommend her! Happy we found her!”


About: Hi there! I moved to NC six months ago to attend a ministry school, but I loved it so much here that I decided to stay. I’m currently a part-time nanny but am looking for extra money so I would love to dog sit. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and truly believe they bring extra joy to a person’s life. I’ve always cared for my animals, and my family and friend’s animals. For years I’ve watched my aunt and uncle’s two dogs when they would go away for trips. Their one dog, Bella, is now 12 years old so I do have experience caring for senior dogs. Thank you and I hope to hear from you! I currently nanny Monday, Wednesdays, and Thursday so I have plenty of time to sit for your animals! I can do drop in visits on my free days or mornings/evenings on the days I nanny. I’m also available for overnight visits! I am able to care for your animals in whatever way works best for you! I can feed them, give medicine, take them for walks, and/or stay over night with them. I am adaptable to whatever needs you have for you pet :)

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.

I work from home most of the time and schedule is flexible. The weekend we are usually here. Will be able to take care of pets throughout the entire day. Currently, we are in an apartment with first floor access to grass. We do have a fenced dog yard across from us and a larger fenced dog park walking distance within the apartment complex. We have an 8 month Australian Shepherd who is absolutely obsessed playing with other dogs! Has never ever shown any aggression towards any dogs, large and small. If keeping your dog with us, can provide bathing.

“Alex did an AMAZING job with my dog Grady. I booked her last minute and didn’t have time to introduce them, but I felt so comfortable with her coming into my home and taking care of my little fella!
