“Deandra was a phenomenal sitter! I had a change of plans and reached out super last minute. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate and take care of my dog on short notice. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures, and my dog seemed really comfortable with her. She also went above and beyond keeping things tidy at my apartment. I’d definitely recommend her and hope she’s able to watch my dog again!”


“We were very nervous leaving our animals. We rarely don’t have someone home. Amanda put us at ease sending daily pics and giving us updates. The pups and the cat were well cared for in our absence. We have a 1 year old wild man who needs carefully watched and the house is still in tact 😂 Will definitely reach out again to her! Thank you Amanda”


About: What sets me apart is the personal, hands-on experience I’ve built over the years. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve trained myself, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement when working with animals. I’ve also grown up around all kinds of pets — from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and even lizards — so I’m comfortable caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. Because I’ve cared for both young, energetic puppies and older, laid-back pets, I’m great at adjusting my care to fit each animal’s age, energy level, and temperament. Whether your dog loves long walks, needs help with basic manners, or just wants a buddy to hang out with while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Most importantly, I treat every pet I watch like they’re my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of belly rubs. I’m currently a student at Pitt, and I also work a part-time job at Victra. The great thing is that my school schedule is half online, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day for pet care. I can easily plan walks, drop-in visits, and playtime around my classes and shifts. Since my classes aren’t back-to-back and I manage my own study schedule, I have open pockets throughout the day and evenings to spend time with your pet. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or afternoon play sessions, I’m more than happy to accommodate whatever your pet needs. Animals are a huge part of my life, so I love being able to fill my days caring for them while balancing school and work. It’s something that fits naturally into my routine and brings me a lot of joy If I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I make it a priority to keep their environment calm, clean, and consistent. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully from feeding routines to walk routes, to bedtime rituals. I love sending photo updates to let pet parents know how their furry friend is doing, and I always make sure the home stays tidy and secure before I leave.

“Hannah was our first house sitter and as over protective pet parents we could be happier with the care she provided. She was easy to communicate with, respectful of our home and kept our animals on their regular schedule. Thank you Hannah!”


About: I’ve been around animals of all shapes and sizes and have been spoiling them all of my life. I know that I am knowledgable in the ways of dog communication for that reason, regardless of their size or disability. Between running errands, doing random art projects and waiting to start my new job, my schedule is pretty flexible with all the free time I have right now. I am able to provide whatever energy a dog needs whether it be lounging around just relaxing or high energy playing and going for a run.

About: Hey yall I’m Kharin! (Middle name) I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with multiple pups in the house gave me a deep understanding of canine behavior, care, and companionship from an early age. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once, both in my own home and while dog sitting for others. Whether it’s managing different energy levels, feeding routines, or giving each dog the attention they need, I’m confident and calm in multi-dog environments. Your pets will be treated like family because that’s how I’ve always treated mine. I’m currently a masters a student at ECU starting this fall so my schedule varies right now but I am always open to communicating when/if available. When caring for furry friends in their homes I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure — that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly to their needs, whether it’s a bathroom break, some extra snuggles, or a quiet space to relax. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give your pet — clean, tidy, and trustworthy. I’m also comfortable managing multiple dogs at once and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or special needs.

“Clarisa was amazing, and my dog Oliver loved her! I especially appreciated all the photos of my fur baby walking, playing, snuggling, and so on. When I came home, my dog was happy and my house was tidy. I highly recommend Clarisa!”


About: I have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats within my family, as in different sizes personalities and breeds. I dont see taking care of cats and dogs as only a service, but also a hobby of mine. I'm currently taking college classes, so my schedule may change bases on what classes i end up taking and what time i take them at, but I'm available majority of the time I will be available to adapt to offer feeding, playtime, walks, affection anything that you or your pet would want or need from a sitter

“Autumn was amazing! Autumn watched our small dog & cat for a week while on vacation and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our animals. Not only did she respect our home and leave it clean and tidy, but you could tell by how happy and healthy our animals were when we came home that they were well taken care of. Communication was always seamless and easy & she was super flexible. She made us feel comfortable our entire time away and I would absolutely recommend her to watch your animals and we will absolutely use her again in the future!”


“Very responsive sitter - returned messages promptly and sent pictures daily. Both of my dogs seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. Would definitely hire her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I can remember I have such a soft spot for animals especially pups. My family has always had lots of dogs through the years we currently have 6. I have always enjoyed taking care of my family and neighbors dogs. I’m currently working part time which means I will have lots of free time to take care of your pups. I am available for dog sitting on the weekends and week days after 2. I can do drop in anytime after 2 on week days and weekends. I can dog walk anytime after two on week days and weekends. I have 6 dogs of my own and they are all very loved and taken care of. I have lots of experience with dogs and can assure you your pup is safe with me. I have practice feeding, walking, and training dogs.

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family. The dog in all of the pictures was my dog, Rocket, who I loved dearly. Rocket with age had leash anxiety that would present in reactive aggression. I worked with a trainer and Rocket to calm his anxieties and learn to work with reactive dogs. I also have recently become a volunteer at the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina. I would love to spend time with your dog, whether that be taking them for a walk, checking in on them, or boarding them. I am a graduate student and therefore have a semi flexible schedule. I have set class times but otherwise I am available hours during the day and on weekends. I have a fenced yard and experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and anxiety levels. I love all dogs and know how hard it is to be aware from your dog so I will make sure to give them just as much love as you would.

“Molly provided house-sitting services for my pets while my husband and I went out of town. She was incredible! My babies were so loved and I got daily updates. She also took excellent care of our home. We will definitely book with her again!”


About: My entire life has been endless pet care experience! I have lived with cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperments, and ages. Currently living with my own two dogs and a cat, I understand the need for a trustworthy care taker for my babies. I care about the wellbeing of animals so much, I plan on going to vet school! There is no animal that is too much for me! I can do drop in vists through out the day as I have a few hours scattered through the day between classes and practice. If you needed longer daily walks, I could take your pet out in the morning and leave them tired for the day! I could also provide short boarding services to a dog or cat that is friendly with other animals. My own animals have been around various other animals and are well trained so as long as your pet is friendly they would get along great! Every animal is different and require diffreent treatment. I approach all animals and enviorments with understanding and patience, allowing the animal to communicate their needs in any given senario. I can adjust to various enviorments based on the animal's temperment and the owner's preferences!

About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
