House Sitting in Holly Ridge

“Parker was truly a blessing to us! Trusting people in your home & with your fur babies while you are away can be a little scary but we trust Parker 100%! She was so sweet to our dog Percy and kept us updated the whole time we were away. She definitely went above and beyond & we couldn’t be more thankful we chose her!”

“Christie was absolutely amazing. We had to take a sudden trip and I messaged Christie. She was quick to respond and agreed to meet with us the day we left very early in the morning. We have three elderly pets that needed special attention and Christie was able to accommodate them. We will definitely use Christie again in the future.”

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.

“Frank did an amazing job caring for our dogs! He gave regular updates and the pups seemed very happy when we returned. I will definitely book again!”

“Britt was precisely what I hoped for in a sitter and expected from rover. She was timely when we first met and everything after has been nothing short of excellent ever since. She kept me up to date with everything involving my dog , but also coordinated with outside agencies and neighbors to make the best possible outcome of any situation for my pet. . Sent pictures almost every day and even got him some new toys. Couldn’t recommend enough . Thank you Britt , I’ll talk to you soon !”

“Everything was great when we got back from vacation. She was available on short notice, because the girl who was set up to come, didn’t show up! Alexandra was a lifesaver. 😊”

“Brittany was great with our 3 dogs and very communicative, we received lots of updates and pictures while we were out of town. Within a week’s notice she was able to come meet them and agree to watch them for the weekend. We would book her again & highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and cared for my own dog for 12 years now. All it takes to help cate for a pet is know their routine and take great care of them. That’s not just give them food and water but also provide exercise and love, I can mostly help out pet owners after my Full-Time job in the afternoons. I work early shift like 5am-1pm or 6am-2pm 5 days a week. Especially on my days off I can pick a shift every now and then. Ive dog sat for my pet owner friends and they alway invite me back to take care of them. I make sure to follow the pet routine (feed it on time and making sure they have water when need be, and also providing the pet their medicine if need be) and I make sure the pet is get the outside time it need and deserve rather then being cooped up inside all day.

“We booked last minute and everything worked out great!”

About: Hey guys - I’m Jenna! I am a full time pet lover and a full time certified dental assistant. For as long as I can remember, I have always felt connected to animals. Yes, most times more so than humans! 🤗 I have extensive experience in caring for many different pets. Large and small breed dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc. There is truly NO animal that I wouldn’t be happy to learn to take care of. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had some type of animal in my home. I grew up with 10+ cats, numerous dogs and hamsters among other pets. This past January, my partner, Matt & I and our 10 year old daughter, Izzy, rescued a 4 year old American Pit Terrier mix named Winnie. And we are in LOVE! As a couple who has always had a soft spot for pitties, this is the third we have owned one together. Winnie was at a foster with 7 other dogs, numerous cats & a 4 year old and has time and time again shown to be great with all three! As far as boarding another pet, we are unfortunately up in the air at the moment and would have to take each animal on a pet to pet basis. Since we’ve gotten her she has shown no signs of aggression towards other animals or kids and we are open to the possibility if we schedule a time for our pets to meet! As mentioned before, Matt & I have owned pitties for the past 5 years off and on. We have gone through training with a few as well. After the heartbreak of losing 2 of our best friends (our fur babies, of course) in this time, we took a break and decided to foster and pet sit in our time of grieving. We have fostered/petsat 6 dogs of all different breeds. Even two of the sweetest deaf pitties in which we have petsat a handful of times. Throughout the years petsitting them, we have been lucky enough to advance in our knowledge in Deaf Dog Sign Language (DDSL). In the year 2024, we spent more time fostering or petsitting a dog than without. To put it simply, Matt and I have always had a huge heart for animals of all kind. We believe our pets are OUR FAMILY; they DESERVE the absolute BEST care possible. As I mentioned before, I am a dental assistant, but my passion has and will forever be animals! The petcare will be my responsibility unless otherwise notified. In any other instance, my partner, Matt will be there to assist. He has a very flexible job that allows him to be available most days around or after 12pm. We look forward to meeting all of your sweet pets! Please feel free to message with any questions or concerns. Every other week I have Mondays and Fridays off. The other weeks I work Tuesdays through Thursdays from 8-5. As mentioned before, Matt and I are available pretty much every weekend and all weekdays. For weekdays, visiting/walking/feeding/check-ins we can do up to three visits. We have about 2 acres fenced in for our fur baby, Winnie and our 10 year old daughter, Izzy! (Izzy is also super helpful & has our animal loving genes 😆) No pet we have ever had has stayed outside overnight and having the land, we always have time to play if and when your pet wants! We have crate trained in the past and we have not. We believe every animal is different in their needs. Winnie currently does not go in a crate when we leave. As mentioned before, a boarding situation would be a pet by pet basis. We would require a meeting prior to the boarding arrangement.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I’ve cared and loved my 2 boxers for over 13 years before their passing. I am comfortable with big and small dogs and have have experience with various breeds. I work full time but always have time for animals with my schedule. I work 630-245 most days. Except summer when I do not work. Potty Breaks during my work day could be arranged and walks in the morning and afternoon are a must!! I love dog cuddles, and they are allowed in my furniture. I already have dog beds, water and food bowls and toys from my previous pups that passed. I have a fenced in small back yard, townhouse, but lots of walking space. I feel comfortable with animals at my house. I am comfortable with dogs being left alone in my house while I’m at my job and on my furniture. Lots of cuddles and attention will be had!!

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I've been around dogs my entire life. I grew up in a family where our chocolate lab, Jazz, was the "favorite child" before my siblings and me. I don't currently own a dog, but I'm looking to share that same attention and affection to your four legged family members. Your dog will be treated to daily walks, indoor and outdoor playtime. I love spending time outside running around parks. I will send pictures and will follow your typical home routine to ensure an extra level of comfort. Additionally, I've had 4 years experience house sitting and can care for the pups in your home. Special arrangements can be made in advance. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work from home and have the flexibility to care for your pet. I love being outside and pet sitting is a good excuse for some extra exercise! The pet’s safety and safety of interactions with other animals/humans is my top priority. I error on the side of caution and ensure that the animal trusts me. Will always discuss details of dog temperament with the owner.

“Heather took such good care of our furkins and left our house absolutely pristine while we were on vacation for a couple of days. We told her very briefly what we expected and she went above and beyond our expectations, we couldn’t have been happier. I’d absolutely love if she was available each and every time we went out of town! Highly recommend!”

“William is extremely reliable and truly loves animals! We were never worried about our pets or home when they were in his care, and that is such a blessing. He goes the extra mile and is highly communicative. Highly recommend! Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have a ton of experience taking care of them! I own two dogs of my own and have cared for many of my neighbors and friends! i’m always looking for new ways to help out dogs. My family has fostered and helped with transporting dogs in need to shelters, I am very friendly and love getting to play with more dogs! I’m a student athlete, but I only have classes on Tuesday, Thursdays! I am free on monday, wednesday and friday and sundays. Depending on my lacrosse schedule i will have some games in the morning to afternoon but I will definitely have free time! I have experience with big dogs I own a german short haired pointer and a chocolate lab, so I’m not worried about walking or caring for bigger dogs! depending on my schedule I will let you know before hand when I have practices/games. But I will make sure that they are loved and well cared for and I can come over as many times as I can!

About: Hi everyone! My name is Amanda, and I am an extreme animal lover! I’ve owned and cared for cats and dogs for 17+ years. I have 3 spayed lady dogs that love making new friends and happily share their toys and beds for newcomers. 1. Holly is the friendliest Chihuahua. I rescued her almost 8 years ago as a puppy; she is still as spunky as ever. 2. A 9-year-old yellow lab with an old sweet soul named Pretty Girl. I rescued her from a puppy mill when she was about 4. Unfortunately, I received her with minimal teeth, and she now has a good amount of arthritis. If any of these conditions relate to your loved ones, or you need medications administered in any form (pill, syringe, chewable, drops, etc.), have special needs, or are a more elderly dog, I've got you covered! 3. Finally, my youngest is a black lab named Athena (5 years old), who's also Pretty Girl’s real daughter! Meaning I have worked with all ages ranging from 0-15+ years old. While under my care, I can guarantee you’ll receive pictures and videos of your babies almost every day to see how their stay is going and all the fun they’re having. Also, for however long I am privileged to watch your fur babies, they will be welcomed with open arms, become a part of our family, and be extremely loved! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends soon! ❤️ I work from home full-time and primarily can set my schedule so I can be readily available whenever you and your fur baby need me! I have a house with a doggy door that leads to a big fenced-in yard that they’ll have access to play in whenever they want. Additionally, I’m huge on maintaining food, walk, and playtime schedules, so you can guarantee I will always be there and ready for all of your animal's needs. You can set all drop-off and pick-up times for whatever works best for your schedule. The ONLY exception would be if I had something planned beforehand, and I will make sure you are aware of this prior to confirming your booking. Emergencies happen, and I would never want you to worry that you can’t leave as soon as you need to because you can’t find a sitter. I’ve also been in a situation where you get home sooner than expected, but I don’t want to make the extra trip the following day. All I ask is for a 2-4 hour warning so I can make sure everything is packed up and ready to go when you arrive. Drop-In Visits/ Dog Walking—I try to keep my schedule from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but I can adjust it on a case-by-case basis if needed. Doggy Daycare- I take a maximum of 3 dogs daily (not including any dogs being boarded).

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I dog sit friends/family’s dogs all the time! I love animals and love going out for walks with them. I work from home so I will be able to tend to your animal whenever is needed. My work schedule is also very flexible I will be able to play and tend to your pet whenever they need. Pets are my first priority when they are staying with me. I have access to a fenced in yard which pups love ! long walks happen daily !

“Andrea is the best! Our pups love her. She is super reliable and follows instructions to a T. She is great about updates and takes lots of pictures so we can see what our pups are up to throughout the day.”
