Pet Sitting in Kelly

About: Whether I’m dropping in for a quick potty break or offering personalized attention and comfort, I bring over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Always making sure your furry family feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. I currently work several flexible part-time jobs, which allows me to schedule pet visits around your needs. I’m available afternoons, evenings, and weekends with advance notice. Your pet’s routine matters, and I’ll do my best to match it. I provide attentive, loving care for your pets and respect your home like it’s my own. I offer drop in visits during the day and reliable dog walking to keep your furry family friends happy.

“Reached out to Ellie about watching our 4.5 month old pup and she was amazing!! She made sure he played, potties, was fed, and walked on schedule will be booking with her again. Also very good on communication & flexibility with our busy schedules.”

“I knew from the meet and greet that Lexi Ann would be a great fit for Mac. She was punctual, did everything I asked, and Mac was well-cared for while I was gone. I got pics to know my pup was doing well. I would recommend Lexi Ann and will certainly use her again when the need arises.”

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and I am a veterinarian with a specialty in internal medicine. I recently finished my residency in Florida and have a couple of months free before I start my job here. I understand how stressful it can be leaving town or even for work during the day while your pets are at home. Let me ease some of that stress for you! My schedule is currently very open, so I can be flexible to your needs! I will keep my calendar updated for the times I will be out of town. I have a small fenced in yard and a larger non-fenced front yard. I have plenty of space to feed dogs away from each other if needed and for them to get some space from each other.

About: I've taken care of dogs all of my life, from puppies to seniors. I currently have a two-year-old Labrador and a 3-year-old hound. I'm very comfortable around all dogs and especially enjoy large and high-energy breeds. I just got out of the Marine Corps, and I'm going back to school full time, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am available all day on Monday, Friday, and Saturday, and I am also available anytime after 2 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have two very friendly dogs of my own if you want your dog to have socialization on walks; however, I do not do any lodging in my own home.

“Cassie was great! We needed a sitter with sort notice and she was happy to help us. Our GSDs are a little particular but they warmed up to her quickly. She had great communication and we felt our dogs were being well taken care of.”

“Amazingly kind and goes extra mile”

About: I love all animals! I have experience with dogs,cats, birds and hamsters. We have three dogs of our own, and my husband has banned me from any more fur babies. I’m hoping you will allow me the joy of loving on yours! I grew up with dogs my whole life. In my adult life, we’ve consistently had three dogs since for the past 15 years. I lost my dog soulmate last April 🥺. Our dog crew consist of our rat terrier Vader, our chocolate lab Penny and our silly beagle Pumpkin. Vader spends most of his day sleeping on the couch. Penny and Pumpkin are very active, get daily walks and monthly trips to doggy daycare. They are all friendly and love to have friends over to play! I do work full-time (8am-3pm) during the week in Wilmington, but I live in Leland. I’m able to come home/ to your home on my lunch break to check on and give the puppies love. I take the dogs on walks before work and then in the afternoon after we are home. I’m usually home all weekend with the dogs. I have a fenced in yard! Our dogs are all friendly and love to have friends over! They are no longer crated during the day but if you prefer your pup to be crated that totally fine! Unlimited access to water and lots of treats and belly rubs!

About: Did you know wolves travel anywhere from 10-30 miles a day?! I believe that a tired pup is a happy pup and I am always up for an adventure. My pet care experience includes a variety of species in a variety of environments. I am a native to Wilmington so I know the area well and can give your pup the adventure they crave if you so choose. My family has a history of working with k-9s so handling them is something that comes naturally. I am focused on gaining the respect and trust of every species I encounter. Affection, it comes in many forms and I am here to offer them all; toys, treats, belly rubs, you name it. I'm versatile, accommodating and I look forward to meeting your four legged family! I am a stay at home mom and spend my days taking care of little humans while also loving and meeting the needs of our loyal companions. If your home is fenced then we will spend time playing in the sunshine at their own pace. During the summer I will only walk your dog(s) in the morning or late afternoon. I don’t walk dogs during the peak heat of the day for their safety and mine. I am well seasoned in body language and dog psychology so you can trust that I will be in tune with their likes and dislikes. In the future I plan to offer boarding in my home but we are working on home improvements before that is possible.

About: With 14 years of professional pet care experience, I specialize in caring for animals of all ages, including senior pets and those with special needs. I spent 6 years as a Kennels Manager at Brunswick Forest Veterinary Hospital and 4 years as a Veterinary Technician, providing expert care for dogs, cats, and more. Whether it’s administering medication or ensuring a comforting routine, I treat every pet like family! I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my pet care schedule to fit yours. Whether you're heading out on vacation or need a helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate! This flexibility means your pet will get the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away! I love keeping pets active and engaged! I always plan for daily walks based on their needs—my own dog has tons of energy, so we go out at least twice a day. Playtime is a must, not just for fun but to build trust and a strong bond. If your pet needs medication, you can rest easy knowing I’m completely comfortable handling it with care.

About: With a strong background and a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, I offer attentive, knowledgeable, and reliable pet care. I am comfortable around all dogs and confident in my ability to care for them while you are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, or just a loving and attentive sitter, I am here to help! In May 2025, I graduated from NC State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science! I am now in the process of applying and interviewing for jobs. My current schedule allows me to accommodate: 🐾 Morning, afternoon, and evening visits 🐾 Walks, playtime, and exercise sessions 🐾 Overnight stays or extended care as needed Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I ensure a secure, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to their individual needs.

About: I’ve worked with animals for 18 years. My first job was at a veterinary clinic and I’ve been pet sitting ever since. I volunteer at the Humane Society in my free time. I have experience administering oral medications and potty training puppies. I have some experience training basic obedience and tricks. I don’t discriminate against breed or size - I love them all, feline and canine! I’ve also taken care of birds, fish and cows (I interned at a dairy farm one summer). When pet sitting, I enjoy taking able bodied pups along for hikes and adventures. Overall, I will treat your fur or fur-less babies as if they are my own. I’m a part time nanny, so I work afternoons - evenings Tuesday through Friday. I’m available for walking or check ins in the mornings and late evenings/nights on those days. I’m also open to pet sitting on the weekends - also during the week if your pet can be alone for 6-8 hours at a time. When I walk dogs, I give them lots of affection before getting them ready for their walk. When dog sitting, I take them out first thing in the morning before their breakfast. We will go on 2 long walks, with potty breaks in between. I like to take them to the dog park sometimes or on a long hike if it is allowed. I am respectful of the pet parent’s wishes in all regards.

“DeAnna is everything we wanted--and more. She formed a quick bond with our kitty, and really cared that our cat had fun, felt loved, and had all her needs met.”

About: I've been around well trained and untrained dogs alike for most of my life. I am capable with strong dogs, aggressive dogs, and dogs who just have tons of energy! I am currently doing gig work in the film industry, so in between gigs I have plenty of time to care for our furry friends. I care for other people's pets same as I care for mine at home. Simple basics are essential, but the magic happens when you build a bond and enrich each other's time together.

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have my own mini farm, where I have pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys! So if you need any of those types of animals cared for I can do that too! I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!

About: Energetic, kind, friendly, outdoorsy type who enjoys walking dogs. Combining my love of nature and furry, four-legged friends makes for a fun side hustle. I grew up with a dainty apricot Poodle (NeNe) and owned Miniature Pinschers (Little Virginia Peanut and Rusty Bent Nail) as an adult. I currently own two beagles, Lady Frida Freckles and Lord Dufus Rufus. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I am currently enjoying much needed time off so I have few time commitments. I have open availability Monday through Thursday, no earlier than 9am (not including holidays). I have a fenced play area in the backyard for my dogs and an outdoor pen with dog house. I walk my dogs at least once a day and allow an hour of playtime every evening.
