Cat Sitting in Long Beach

“Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!”

“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”

“Maegan was a pleasure to work with. My cats loved her and she was so kind to them. She also did the little “extras” around the house (deliveries, etc). I would highly recommend Maegan to anyone looking for a cat watcher.”

“Madison took great care of our cat. She made sure litter box was clean and that she got to spend some time in the back porch. Will definitely use her again.”

“Teresa took amazing care of my cats during the week of my trip. She was caring and professional, providing pictures and updates every day. My senior needed eye drops and she administered without problems. And from the happiness in the pictures, my younger male really enjoyed her visits. Teresa visited faithfully despite the horrible weather (flood and tornado warnings!) and her earned confidence allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thank you Teresa for taking care of my kitties! I would definitely book you again.”

“Thomas helped me out in a last minute pinch, when I was out if town and checked in on my kitty. He communicated well to make arrangements for the visit and sent me updates. All was well, when I returned home.”

About: I have raised my sweet cat Sneaky since she was a kitten, as well as my dog Mabel since she was a puppy. I have had Sneaky for 7 years, and Mabel for 5. They are my life! I also have some grooming experience, so I am familiar with animals in a professional setting as well. I currently work for Instacart and attend NC State University. I'll be able to take care of your pets any time I'm not in school! I will care for your pets to your exact specifications and keep them great company! I am available for walks, drop ins, and some house sitting!

“Stacey did a great job taking care of our cat for the first time. She loves animals, and our girl came right up to her and said hello. Stacey is very professional, she showed up right on time, gave our cat some love (even brushed her), and also takes some great pics! She’s also a lovely person. Highly recommended, give her a try.”

About: I'm the old school type of handler. I've learned that the human to animal bond is essential to each of us. I do things with your dogs that require full trust. I understand the responsibility involved in caring for them. I usually remain armed when I walk your pups. I also wear a vest containing emergency medical supplies, extra slip leads, dog treats, and large reflective letters "K-9" on the back for everyone approaching from behind to be aware. While walking, I'm keeping constant situational awareness. I'm confident in my ability to handle any situation that may present itself. I do work with aggressive dogs and other behavior issues. THERE ARE NO BAD DOGS, is my belief. Let's address the problem of pet obesity now. I've started offering a dog jog for morning and afternoon appointments. I use an electric trike to gradually get your dog fit as it gets faster and further as we go. Depending on the physical shape, it may need to work up to the trike. Either way, the fat will become muscle soon and the dog will be healthier with this exercise. I currently walk and train in St. James Plantation. I'd like to stay near home. I'm kinda picky about the people I work with. Hopefully you are too. 🐩 🐕 🐶 🦮 🐕‍🦺 🐈 I'm actually very flexible. The clients I have are very understanding and respectful of my time. Likewise, if something unexpected comes up, I understand. I want to be the one who comes to mind when that next emergency hits you, and you need someone who will drop everything for you and come save the day! I want to be closer than family for you. People have different ideas about the way they raise their pets. It's important to me that I know everything I can about your bond with your pets. Keeping the established routine is always a priority. I take notes and execute a plan based on what you want.

“Ceshele did an amazing job with our cats! She was super informative about what was going on. She was confident in giving medication orally as well as through an inhaler. It’s always a pleasure booking with her!”

About: 7 years of loving your pets. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — not just as pets, but as companions, teachers, and joy-bringers. I’ve always felt most at peace when I’m surrounded by animals and nature. Whether I’m hiking a quiet trail with a furry friend by my side, playing fetch in an open field, or simply relaxing on a porch after a long day outdoors, I find happiness in the simple, grounded connection that dogs and the natural world provide. I value patience, kindness, and structure — all qualities that guide the way I care for animals. For me, caring for dogs isn't just a job — it’s who I am at my core. I am a dedicated and compassionate animal care professional with hands-on experience in canine enrichment, behavioral observation, and facility operations. At Woof Pack Pet Services in Boone, NC, I served as an Enrichment Counselor, Kennel Attendant, and New Hire Trainer, where I led tailored group enrichment sessions to promote dogs' mental well-being, trained new staff in safe and effective animal handling protocols, and developed individualized care plans for dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I also administered medications, monitored health changes, and maintained strong communication with both clients and veterinary professionals to ensure timely care. At Mills River Dog Camp in Mills River, NC, I expanded my leadership skills as a Shift Supervisor, managing the daily care of over 50 dogs, supervising staff, and implementing training and de-escalation strategies for anxious or reactive dogs. I’m experienced in maintaining detailed health and behavior records and have consistently prioritized both animal welfare and client satisfaction through attentive care, structured routines, and open communication. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just getting someone who knows how to follow instructions — you're getting someone who genuinely cares. I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, or a little extra anxiety. I treat every animal with the same level of attentiveness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I believe in clear communication, both with animals and their people, and I always aim to provide peace of mind through consistent care, safety, and respect. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral part of my life and a true passion. Daily, I dedicate time to understanding and meeting each animal’s unique needs—whether it’s through enrichment activities, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Over the years, I’ve developed routines that prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of pets in my care, balancing structured schedules with flexibility to respond to individual behaviors and health changes. Weekly, I continuously update my knowledge on animal behavior and care techniques to ensure the highest quality of service. I am now seeking to turn this dedication into a full-time career where I can combine my hands-on experience, love for animals, and commitment to their welfare to make a meaningful difference every day. I tailor my pet care approach based on the environment and individual needs of each animal. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and engaging space with plenty of enrichment activities, consistent routines, and close monitoring of health and behavior to ensure pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I focus on maintaining consistency to reduce stress, providing companionship, administering medications if needed, and keeping the environment clean and secure. Communication with the pet owner is key to ensuring their pet’s needs are met and any concerns are promptly addressed. My priority is always the well-being and happiness of the pet, adapting my care style to create a positive, trusting experience whether at home or theirs.

“Grace provided a purrrfect cat sitting experience! This was our first time leaving our dear Stella behind for more than a day or two so we were initially very nervous about the whole thing. Now we couldn't be happier that we decided to go with Grace for our cat sitting needs! Her communication was impeccable throughout the entire process and I received wonderful updates complete with adorable photos after every visit. She was punctual, reliable, and treated our home with the utmost respect. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch cat sitter.”

About: I have been taking care of my dogs and my family members dogs from a young age. I have grown up around dogs and cats and animals have become a passion of mine. I currently have 4 dogs but no cats at the moment. I’m also currently taking an online dog training class in order to get my certificate in dog training. I’m currently employed part time and also a part time student online. And in between i’m hoping to get a few hours of pet care. I have been taking care of my family dogs for quite some time and have learned several things from it. I can walk dogs, bathe dogs, cut nails on calm dogs, feed and water dogs, give medications, clean cat litter boxes, and play with your pet.

About: As a lifelong dog dad, I have years of experience with my own pets and with others. Being a working author makes home pet sitting is an ideal situation for me. All I need is internet and a place to sit with my laptop. Cuddles from the fur babies always provides inspiration. You can count on responsible care from a guy who has had more life experience than some (a kind way to say older). 🙂 Although I prefer just a few days at a time since I’m married and have my own fur babies, I would consider longer term house sitting for the right situation. I am a working author. This makes my situation flexible and provides my ability to be attentive. I still perform vocals with a jazz band, but that would be blocked off on my schedule as would any book tours. My policy for care of your pets is that you know them best. I hope not to drive you crazy with requests of daily schedule, but routines are important for our fur families. Therefore, I will want to know a typical day and will try to adhere to that as closely as possible. I do not accept pets in my home.

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!

“Rachel seems to be a "cat whisperer", at least for my cats. My "grouchy cat" came out to meet her, and my skittish kitten did well with her, too. She is kind, caring, and conscientious.”

About: I grew up with family dogs and cats. You name it, we’ve had the breed. From chihuahuas, to huskies, to dobermans, to great danes. Therefore extremely comfortable with all sized fur babies. I have experience with all ages, from puppies as we have bred our great danes years ago, twice, to elderly dogs who are blind and/or deaf. etc. I actually have my own pup, she is a husky. Her name is cora and she is definitely a handful but i am blessed my hands are full with a smart, funny yet stubborn puppy haha. I also have cats, lazy fat house cats haha. I was looking for job opportunity that will allow me flexibility, work with fur babies (may or may not like them better then humans haha) and to be a mom to my 10 months old daughter as well, that is why i am pursuing Rover in hopes i can do it all at once. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies soon :) My pets daily care is naturally apart of my daily routine, she is family. Not just an animal. Animals cannot fend for themselves, it is important to me that my animals feel important, instead of a burden. My husky, Cora, is walked every two hours and fed two meals a day and has access to water 24/7. I am flexible to learn other animals schedules and eating times, as every animal is different.

“Excellent, reliable care provided. Pet was well taken care of, with good socialization expeirnece.”

About: I have been raised with all types of animals. Family and friends have trusted me to stop in for quick visits and also spend the night and care for babies for extended periods of time.
