About: Hi there! I’m Shelley — a seasoned and trustworthy sitter offering in-home pet care across the Outer Banks. I specialize in keeping your pets safe, happy, and right on schedule while you’re away. Whether it’s a daily drop-in, a neighborhood walk, or staying overnight at your home, I bring consistency and genuine care to every visit. Based in KDH, I serve the surrounding Outer Banks communities within a 30-mile radius. Flexible, dependable, and always communicative, I’m here to make travel less stressful for both you and your furbabies. I care for both dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and needs and always treat your home with the same respect I give your pets.
“Haley checked on our 2 cats for us while we were away on vacation. She was very punctual and sent us updates/photos the entire time. We would definitely love to have her watch our fur babies again in the future!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. Back in Texas, I had a hobby farm with cats, goats, chickens, and my lovable dog, Hero. We even boarded dogs on occasion, and my passion for animals has only continued to grow. These days, I enjoy getting outside often—I’m a recreationalist who loves walking and hiking with my own dog. Now that I’m new to the Outer Banks, I’d love the opportunity to walk your dogs or stop in for house visits with other pets, too. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved. You can feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to answer any questions or concerns before booking to help put your mind at ease. I am currently a stay at home Mom, with school just around the corner I will be kid free with plenty of time to care for your pets! While caring for your pets in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll happily provide updates about the visit—including whether they ate, went potty, and how they’re feeling—along with photos and even our walk route. I can also administer any needed medications, crate them if required, and ensure your home is secure before I leave.

“Lindsey was a great babysitter for our Poppy! She checked in each day and sent pics/videos. I felt at ease knowing our kitty was getting attention and love while we were away. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since i was 8 years old. I’ve worked at vet clinics, hospitals, and kennels for 8 years and have an arsenal of animal welfare knowledge. I am comfortable handling cats, dogs, and exotic animals of all shapes and sizes! As a recent college grad, I am filling my time off before grad school pet sitting. This is my only focus at the moment so my availability is completely open every day. Preferably I am available after 10 AM because I have my own animals to take care of. I have a large fenced in yard and an extremely friendly dog to keep yours company, as well as a happy cat! I also have a large car that can easily transport your pet(s) if needed. I make sure to take care of my animals, and others, by providing lots of love, affection, and mental stimulation to provide the best experience possible for the animals I work with.
About: Furry friends have always been a part of my family, starting with my first big brother, a fluffy cat named Spike! With over 13 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, hedgehogs, and more, I'd love to help your pet feel loved while you're away. I've helped raise three litters of puppies (ask me for pictures!) and taken care of my aging black lab and calico kitty as they passed over the rainbow bridge. Nervous or shy pets are welcome! Whether you need a sitter while on vacation or a reliable doggy day walker, I’m here to help 💕 I work remotely, so I am available throughout the day whenever your pet needs a walk, play time, or a solid snuggle. While I'm with your pet, I'm on their schedule! I have experience with crate training, medication administration, and know how important it is to keep pets stimulated, especially when their family is away! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to roam. I also try to avoid walking on pavement for too long between 11 and 3, as the sidewalks are too hot for paws. I'd be happy to take your friend on beach walks or strolls through the Nags Head woods.
“Lauren is amazing! She took care of our two cats - Raja & Carmela - and house sat for a week while we were on a trip. She provided thorough updates throughout the day, and we are so grateful for the love and care she provided to our two cats. Thank You so much Lauren!”

I look forward to meeting you and your pet, and I will treat your pet like they are a part of my own family because I know that they are such an important part of yours! I work full-time, but am available during the evenings and for an hour in the afternoons. I am also available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day. I will take special considerations while caring for your furry friend at your home. I will respect your home as my own by cleaning up after myself and following all your rules and instructions.
“Madison was great! She came to our house in advance for a meet and greet and learn what needed to be done. She was on time every day, took good care of our birdies, and spent time visiting with them. We would definitely use her again!”
“Cindy went above and beyond to make sure that myself and my pooch were comfortable. Its obvious that Cindy truly understands dogs needs- she gave Yossi lots of exercise and stimulation and when he was tired and she could sense that, she let him rest. She sent lots of pictures so I knew he was in good hands... she has great communication with humans and great communication with animals too. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Baillie is a truly loving and dependable caregiver. She has looked after my kittens multiple times and treats them like her own.

Sara K.
“I've known Sara since she was in elementary school, and as far as I know, she's never harmed a single minute soul on this planet. She even takes the time and care to take a small SPIDER outside if it's stuck in the house, which is something I wouldn't bother to do. She and I have been a part of a small four-person squad since high school, and the three of us have always known her to be the most proactive and genuine when it comes to animals. She is especially passionate when it comes to sharks, which are her favorite animal. At an Oktoberfest in our town, she had this shark booth set up for four years straight informing people about the dangers of shark finning and how we should protect and support the wildlife in the ocean. This is also supported by the fact that she's majoring in Wildlife and Fisheries at her college. ALSO, she had a summer internship this year working at a wildlife rehabilitation center! She took care of so many different animals, and there's tons of pictures of her feeding and helping little birds, snakes, turtles, and other creatures. All I'm saying is that if there were a pet-sitting website for all animals, Sara would be the best person for the job because of her background in rehabilitation and classroom knowledge of wildlife. She also owns two cats and used to have two turtles.”

Amanda E.
“Amanda is phenomenal with my dogs! Lucy, Ronan, Angus, and Navy are always happy to see her. I travel a lot and she is flexible when she can be. She has always been down to take my dogs on adventures when she can. Last time I gave her 3 days notice and she was able to take my dogs while I was off shore working. My lucy isn't a people or other (bonded) dog person and I swear she would live with Amanda if she could! Amanda treats dogs like they are kids, you won't be disappointed trust me, she's the best!”
