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.

I have a great understanding and love of all kinds of animals, and I have experience with administering medications to pets. 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!”
About: I have had pets since I started walking. Our family included dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and horses. We also had hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and fish. I help friends and family when they need someone to care for their pets or they take a vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am available during the day, most nights and some weekends. I can play with your pets in your home or I can take them out and about for walks and fun. I have 3 dogs that love everyone and everything. I can crate your pet if needed. Each situation is case by case. I want to do my best to maintain your regular routine for your pet.
About: I have 3 years of experience working with animals as a Veterinary Assistant. I was raised on a farm in Montana, with multiple dogs, cats and a big herd of horses. I attended College for Equine Science in Arizona, and plan to pursue my dream of working in an Equine Therapy program to help PTSD or abuse victims and children with disabilities. I am trustworthy, very calm and laid back. I understand animals and am sympathetic and attentive to your pets needs and safety. I am willing to trim nails, clean ears, bath and work with your aggressive dogs as well. I love larger breeds. I believe in a firm yet kind approach, and have worked with abused and neglected animals. I will also care for horses, chicken and other farm type animals. Thank you for your time!!

Baillie M.
“Baillie is a truly loving and dependable caregiver. She has looked after my kittens multiple times and treats them like her own. They absolutely adore Baillie and are always excited to see her... to the point where I'm almost convinced that they like her more than me! I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such great hands.”
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!”
Khinza D.
“We've used quite a few pet sitters in various locations and I have to say that Khinza is the best! She's great at communicating and sent us pics of our dog and cat while we were gone. When we came home, everything looked great - water was topped off, pet dishes clean, yard was poop-scooped. Our cat is not the friendliest and she even got him to lay on her lap! We highly recommend Khinza for anyone looking for an in home pet sitter.”
