About: I have taken care of old dogs, young dogs, and family dogs, multiple animals at one time. I have cared for cats and fish. I would like the opportunity to watch a chicken… I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to best care for your animals. I have a regularly consistent schedule- but this gig is something fun I enjoy on the side. I have a night front and back yard. I have a cat ready to keep your animal on their toes! My house is certainly animal friendly- we can speak more about the specifications your pet needs!

About: What sets me apart is the heart I put into every tail wag and paw print I treat your pet like family! I have two friendly dogs who love making new furry friends, so your pup will have playmates and never feel alone. From fun fetch sessions to cozy cuddle breaks, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home. I learn their routines, quirks, and favorite treats, and I always keep you in the loop with updates and photos because peace of mind matters just as much as playtime! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it’s already part of our daily life! With two dogs of our own and a stay at home wife who loves animals just as much as I do, there’s always someone home to give your pet attention, playtime, and plenty of love. We keep a consistent routine, and caring for animals is something we truly enjoy not just a job. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just keeping them company, your pet becomes part of our pack and is never left out or alone. When your dog’s in my home, they’re part of the family. With my two friendly pups around, there’s always someone to play with and lots of love to go around. I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible feeding, walks, and chill time so they feel comfortable and happy. It’s all about making them feel safe and cared for, just like they’re home, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

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. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. 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. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. 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.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. 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. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. I will be available all summer full time from June- August as I am a high school teacher during the year. If needed I can also continue working part time during the school year. 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.
