“I highly recommend Meg and her wonderful dog Wrigley! Meg communicates quickly, her home is very dog friendly, she loves dogs and my Golden Retriever was happy and secure under her care.”

“Jasper came home from Michelle’s daycare clean, happy and exhausted. Michelle kept me updated with all the details and was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend Michelle’s service to all dog parents out there, she always has a tastefully designed home that is also dog friendly.”

“Andrea was great! She was very easy to communicate with and flexible with the drop off/pick up time. She asked questions about my dog to try to accommodate. I would certainly use her dog sitting services again!”

About: Hi! I’m new to the area and would love to meet all the neighborhood animals! I recently moved here from Michigan to live with my husband here in the Slocum neighborhood in Havelock North Carolina. Back home I have two puppies, Millie and Ruby and here in North Carolina I have a puppy and kitty named pepper and maple. Back home I have been reliable to take care of my neighbors dog and cat to take care of them by feeding their dog and cat, taking their dog for walks, playing with their dog and cat and making sure their dog goes outside to go potty. I love being a parent to my puppy and kitty and it’s the best part of my day to come home to them 💕🐾🐶🐱 I’m unemployed and currently looking for a job but I’ll be able to take care of your animals during the day throughout the week and at night if needed. I have a fenced in backyard which is where I take out my puppy maple out to go potty. As mentioned before I have kitty named pepper as well. Maple is 6-7 months old and gets along well with other animals and is a very friendly and social dog. I take maple for walks and sometimes for runs often. We do have a pet scorpion as well but he stays in an enclosed glass cage away from the other animals. Pepper has her own room where she sleeps and has a litter box, a cat tree, and a food and water bowl. Both pepper and maple are allowed on the furniture and maple has a dog kennel and two dog beds but she sleeps in our room. And she also has a food and water bowl in the kitchen area. There are plenty of toys for the animals to play with but you are welcome to bring your own toys as well. I would also like to add that there will be no additional caretakers and it’ll just be me.
About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years.

I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing.

I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.
