“Maggie - my 8 yr old Labrador pet therapy dog - had a great time. Got walked, had a few other dogs to socialize with. Julia did an excellent job - we rebooked for a longer stay.”

“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”

About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

“Cara was in good hands with Allie. She has a great environment for dogs and makes sure that exercise is part of the visit. Cara was happy and we were very pleased.”

About: I am a dog lover. I have watched my family and friends pets for many years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I work from home Monday-Friday. My schedule is flexible to what might be needed whether drop ins, walks, etc. I am available on the weekends as well. I will do what’s needed based on the animals needs: playing with the animals, feeding and watering, checking food/water sources, going on walks, and more.

About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around animals all my life. Currently, I live behind the university with my two cavaliers on a little less than an acre. My two are wonderful with other dogs and looking for some playmates. My fenced-in backyard makes for the perfect playground, and your dogs will be free to come and go as they please from inside to the fenced in area. I have boarded as many as 4 dogs at one time and have cared for senior dogs (18+). Reach out for information on boarding opportunities and/or for additional details. I am here full-time and available currently for boarding any time of the day as well as on weekends. I maintain full care of my two, so the more, the merrier! I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe and carefree playtime. My two dogs are very friendly and are sure to make for excellent playmates.

“Absolutely amazing. We truly appreciate Jennifer for loving and caring for our fur baby during our absence. She was very welcoming and made our visit to the area delightful. We will definitely allow Jennifer to watch over our fur baby the next time we are in the area.”

I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.

“Susie & Paul were a special blessing to us and our pet! Their love for animals is clearly evident, and they were so accommodating to us and our schedule. They even provided great tips and directions for our sight-seeing time in the area. We will definitely book with them again if we are ever in the Wilmington area again.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young. I started caring for dogs and cats were neighbors, friends, and family around age 10, and have also gained around three years of professional experience working in dog boarding facilities. Through my experience, I have cared for puppies, senior pets, dogs of all sizes and personalities, cats, and multi pet households. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, senior care, and routine medication administration. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My background as a birth Doula has strengthened my patience, compassion, organization, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring those same qualities into pet care by providing dependable communication, attention to detail, and a calm presence for your pets while you’re away. I’m also a proud dog mom, and I know firsthand that pets are family. My goal is to treat every pet like my own while giving you peace of mind through reliable care, updates, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy being a part of my life. Because I work as a birth doula with a mix of scheduled and on-call availability, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, drop in visits, and companionship for your pets throughout the day or night. I am open about my availability and will always communicate my on-call dates with pet parents ahead of time. When I am available, I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to your pets and provide reliable, attentive care. If a birth call overlaps with a booking, I will communicate as early as possible and make sure we have a clear plan in place. My goal is to create a dependable routine for your pets, while giving you peace of mind that they are cared for, loved, and never forgotten. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for your pets. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or providing visits, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, familiar environment, where they feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I believe consistency is key. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your space, keep your home, secure, and pay attention to the little details that help your pets to feel comfortable while you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy and well cared for. For walks and drop in visits, I prioritize, safe handling, awareness of surroundings, and your pets individual needs and personality. I take the time to understand their routines, triggers, preferences, and comfort level before providing care. As an animal lover, pet parent, and experienced caregiver, I understand the trust involved in allowing someone to take care of your furry family members. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience that gives both you and your pets peace of mind.

“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I don't currently have pets at my apartment where I'll be pet sitting, my family has five dogs, so I'm very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I volunteered with a local animal rescue throughout all four years of high school, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments by walking, feeding, socializing, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while they waited to find their forever homes. During that time, I also served as a foster, providing temporary homes for rescue dogs and helping them adjust to a loving environment. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals. In college, I served as the Treasurer for UNCW's Service Dog Training and Education Program (STEP) for two years. While I'm not a professional dog trainer, my involvement with the organization gave me valuable experience working alongside service dogs and handlers. I'm happy to reinforce basic training, good manners, and routines while your pet is in my care. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. They'll rarely be left alone, and I'll be able to stick closely to their normal routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I understand that every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I'll care for your pet as if they were one of my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervised care throughout the day. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care. Whether your pet needs an active day filled with walks and play or simply a calm, cozy environment with lots of love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's as close to home as possible. Because I work from home, I'll be with your pet for most of the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will have a safe, calm environment to relax and feel at home. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own.

About: my name is Ryan, and I’m a social worker and work through Rover. I grew up around dogs my entire life, and I currrently have a dachshund mix that I adore and spoil. My goal is to make sure your dogs get the best care possible. Each dog is different, so if you have any special requests to best fit their individualized needs, please let me know. I love taking dogs to the beach, parks, and trails throughout Wilmington. My schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for your schedule. And I will make sure I’m able to help with services. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and at home. If I notice they are stressed, I will sit with them for a few minutes and then take them on a walk to get some energy out. If there’s anything specific your dog likes to feel more comfortable, let me know and I’ll take that into consideration. I will also give them my 100 percent undivided attention and all the pets and belly rubs they want!

“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”

About: I have 3 dogs at home that range in size and personality! I love all animals and have pet sit for friends on multiple occasions! (: I am currently a college student, but I am only working 18 hours this summer (with one class). Currently, I am working mondays 9-3, wednesdays 8-2, and thursdays 8-1:30. I have a fenced yard for all 3 of my dogs since they are very active. I usually follow a feeding schedule (2 times a day). All of my dogs are very diverse in size so I can handle small to large dogs when doing tasks such as bathing!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and animals ever since I can remember. I'm available to board, day care if your dog needs attention during the day or another dog friend. I have helped my family and friends with taking care of birds, dogs, and even hamsters. I have two kids ages 5 and 9 as well as my furkid Roxy my golden/hound mix. I work from home and I'm available all week when needed. Please feel free to message me with any additional questions you might have. Also if you have an animal that might need special care. I have one friendly golden/hound mix that we adopted. I have a fenced in yard and my dog goes outside whenever she asks as well as first thing in the AM and prior to bedtime which is about 830pm. With the kids we are in and out of the backyard all day as well as walks through the neighborhood.

“Thank you. Looks like they had fun .... Tired out pups. Glad they were able to land with you today”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play/exercise, bathe/groom, and love their pets while traveling, moving, or working. Are the morning walks not cutting it for your pup? Do they still have too much energy during the day? Now introducing “Dog Jogs!” Instead of a walk around the block, I will take your dog on a couple mile jog, solo or with other pups, to use up that puppy energy so they will sleep all day while you’re working. Additionally, I work from home and have plenty of time throughout the day for regular exercise and bathroom breaks. I live in a dog friendly community on the first floor with direct access to a large, grassy backyard. Your pet will be looked after at all times during the day, and would never be left alone. I do not have my own pets at this time, and your fur baby would receive all the love and attention it deserves.

“Cosette did a fantastic job! The photos and videos were so funny to watch back. My doggy did not want to go and cosette did a great job of handling me leaving. 100% will book again!”
