“Abby has done it again! She provided outstanding care for our dogs and cats while we were away for 5 days. Just like before, we returned to happy pets and a spotless home. It’s clear Abby is a natural with animals and she treats them like her own. She’s an excellent communicator and sends regular pictures, videos and update’s. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable, caring pet sitter. Can’t recommend Abby enough!”


“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for vacation! It was such great peace of mind to have someone with our animals while we were gone. Abby did a great job communicating and staying in touch with us, providing updates and pics throughout the week! Will definitely use her services again.”


“Michele was AMAZING!!! Besides providing fabulous care for our 2 Australian Shepherds, she walked them, played with them, checked for sand burrs in their paws (we were at the beach), fed them, gave them medicine (seizure Rx), and even took them to a grooming appointment at a nearby groomer. She was flexible on last minute schedule requests and just a joy to have. We will definitely request her again next time we are in Wilmington with our dogs!!!!”


“Elizabeth was wonderful and we would definitely recommend her and use her again. She sent pictures and updates regularly while we were gone and our house was neat and tidy when we returned. Our dog was her usual happy self and we could tell she was well cared for in our absence.”


“Caroline was so attentive to our two old gals, and kept us updated on her visits. Gracie & Miley loved their babysitter and looking forward to her next visit! Thanks again !”


“Katie took care of our 4 dogs while we were in Europe for 10 days. She did a spectacular job of updating me (nervous dog mom) while caring for our pups. We have two older dogs that take medication several times a day and one that wears a diaper at night. She handled it all with stride and we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I highly recommend her!”


“My boys loved having Rose stay at the house for a few nights with them. She was very attentive to everything I went over with her and she kept me up to date daily with pictures and texts. My youngest is almost 4 months but she handled the puppy phase like a champ! She is stuck with us now 😊”


About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 9. I’ve worked with dogs for most of my life. I have worked with training, dog physical therapy, walking, and over night care. I have created loving relationships with all the dogs I’ve walked as many of them I have spent years taking care of. I am very reliable and have built so many relationships with the owners of the dogs I’ve taken care of. I am a student at UNCW Wilmington, so my classes are in the morning and end around noon so I’ll be available early morning as well as afternoons and evenings. My schedule is very flexible, including weekends were I will be available for overnight and weekend sitting as well as dog walks! I live in an apartment so pet sitting in my place would not be available. I have a car so I will be able to drive to peoples houses or apartments to walk their dog in their neighborhood or bring their dogs to different places for walks.

“Rachel took great care of our pups. She sent us updates with photos and took excellent care of our house as well! You can really tell how much she loves animals by how attentive she is to them. Thank you, Rachel!”


About: I’m an animal loving teacher and I'd love to put my time to good use doing what I love this summer. I love walking and running and would love to take your dog along! I’m a huge cat fan as well! I have many years of experience taking care of the pets of friends, family and neighbors. References available upon request. I’m extremely responsible, neat and energetic. I have had a dog with diabetes so I'm experienced and comfortable in administering insulin and other medications. I am extremely trustworthy as any background check can prove. I have a much loved dog and cats myself so I know how much your pets mean to you. It would be a load off of your mind to have me taking care of them for you. Please contact me so I can meet you and your cherished pet as soon as possible. I would love to answer any of your questions.. I'm currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I am able to do as many drops ins as necessary to keep your pet company while you're gone. I have a fenced yard and three friendly cats. I have two extra bedrooms to crate your dog if needed or to separate any kitty that doesn't play well with others.

“Brittany went above and beyond to make my fur babies feel comfortable and loved! She is so kind and definitely incredibly considerate! I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Caitlyn A. is AMAZING! She was great to come over and meet my girls Sadie and Ginger before she stayed and watched them. Sent me pictures and spend great time with them. I feel bad, but she was amazing when Sadie had a tummy ache and caused a poo poo explosion. Caitlyn was awesome and picked up after Sadie and was amazing. I ABSOLUTELY will reach out to her if I need a house sitter again. I really appreciate her and thank her very much for her fantastic service!!! 😊”


“Emily was great! My cat immediately loved her, which is super rare. She has always been quick to communicate and flexible. She will definitely be my go to, and I know my pets can’t wait to have her back again soon!”


About: I have experience of taking care and loving on my own dog as well as my friends and family's dogs. I know that taking care of dogs takes time and effort and each dog requires a different amount of attention. I am comfortable with any age as I have helped train puppies and have taken care of older dogs. I work full time, Monday-Friday 8-5. My Wednesdays are flexible. I have evenings and weekends free to help care for your fur babie(s) when needed! I will care for your dog in your home by respecting your space and routine. I think that being in their own home and sticking by their routine will keep them the most comfortable.

“Katie was amazing with my fur baby who has extreme anxiety issues. I just recently moved to the Wilmington area and interviewed a few sitters. When Katie came into our home, she immediately got to Lexi's level and started talking and petting her. My little one means the world to me and Katie took very good care of her while I was away. When I came home, I couldn't even tell she was there. She even cleaned the bedding, bathrooms, floors and did the dishes. Such a wonderful sitter but also just a genuine caring person. I would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a wonderful person to take care of their fur babies. Thank you so much Katie!”
