Dawn was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet before and took great care of Skipper while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make sure he had everything he needed and had a fun time.

Wendy came to visit our dog before the drop-in to walk him the next day. That was reassuring since we were visiting the area and needed a visit/walk for our lab. She stopped in at the requested time, sent us pictures, and did a great job on communicating. We would rebook again if we were in the area. This made our travel flexible and we enjoyed our day knowing she had it under control. Thanks!

About: I grew up around dogs and have always been a dog a lover. I have had two rescue dogs whom I treated like my children. I love senior dogs. Dog sitting comes easy to me because I love being around them. I have sat every size dog and have never had a problem. Your dog will be in the best hands and get lots of love, hugs and kisses! I currently do not work and can be flexible with my time. I always do my best to accommodate the scheduling needs of dog parents. Dogs will always get lots of love and attention. I follow all instructions given regarding feeding, walking and any special needs. I will either not leave the house or leave for a short period of time so the dog(s) will not be alone for extended periods of time.

About: I’ve had to help take care of dogs my entire life… Growing up, our family always had larger breeds of dogs which taken care of was part of my responsibilities in my adult life. I have had my own dogs… I currently do not have any dogs though. I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I have flexibility to come home during the day. and I am finished each day by 2:30 I live in an apartment under a house with a very large yard, but not fenced in… My landlord‘s upstairs do have a big Doberman, but he is super friendly. I can only accommodate pet friendly dogs at my home.

Kaylee seemed really eager to know what our 15 yr old min pin needed from her. She asked questions and texted us when she left. Our pup was content when we got home. Def would use Kaylee again.

About: I have always been a pup enthusiast, I grew up with a huge black lab, Luke. He was the best dog ever, I’d love to take him for walks and play! As an adult I have many dog friends, my sister has the most beautiful pit bull Sadie. I’ll go to her house when I’m in town and take the dog out, Sadie loves when I’m around!! My boyfriend’s parents have two massive Great Danes, we walk them and take care of them all the time. I just have a huge heart for all of our four legged friends. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me. I’m extremely responsible and cautious while walking and playing. I’m a bartender so most days I’m free and would love to spend the off time walking and caring for animals. Exercise for both of us. I am extremely responsible and reliable. Always courteous and respectful. I would care for any animal as if it were my own, and treat them and my surroundings with the upmost respect.

About: I have worked with animals professionally for 5 years, but also have 20 years of experience with my own pets. I have a deep love and respect for animals. I work a full time job as a dolphin trainer with inconsistent hours depending on time of year, but my days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. Most other days I am available before 9am and after 6pm. My current living situation does not allow for me to care for animals in my own home, however I am open to caring to animals in the client’s home. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean space and respecting the boundaries set forth by the client. Please note for house sitting jobs that I do work a full time job Friday through Tuesday so on those days potty breaks would be before work (around 9am) and after work (around 6:30 pm). Wednesdays and Thursdays are my off days so I am available for more frequent potty breaks/play sessions.

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.

About: I’m an active animal enthusiast. My fur baby Lucy is my world and she receives the best care possible. If you wish for your pets to receive the same care then you’ve come to the right place! A-Z services with quality guaranteed. I’ve spent 4 years in the veterinary field, actively learning and taking my education further. What better way to offset an income then to be around the most joyous part of my day, all day! I’m an equal opportunist and love everyone’s fur babies as I would my own. After all, pets are better than people! My walks are thorough and my sitting services attentive. I offer extra services such as bathing and park visits. If you’re going to entrust someone, then entrust me! I am self employed and get to choose my own schedule. A little extra income between my own daily to-do’s fits my lifestyle! Thanks for your consideration I can take care of your animals in your home the same as I would in my own. I can adequately administer injectable’s subcutaneously and intramuscular. Water bowls filled all the time and food bowls by your wishes!

Kaytee was wonderful with Wally! She took him for a great walk and he was happy and tired when he got home. Kaytee was really good with communication and sent pictures of her visit with Wally. We would absolutely recommend her and when we visit the Keys again, we will definitely book her! Thank you, Kaytee!

Julie was great with our 2 pups. Both of our dogs were somewhat timid in our vacation rental, but Julie came walked, played with them and even managed to get them to eat. We were worried about leaving them in unfamiliar surroundings, but she eased all of our fears with good communication and even some photos. She was fantastic for our family.
