Pet care experience

Must love dogs!

Great family environment with a fenced backyard to run and play. We support families with pets in and around Wilmington, NC. We have great kids that will show your animal plenty of attention. We are very flexible on scheduling and cancellations. Your animal would not be kept outside but will be outside often on walks around the neighborhood or in the woods in the backyard. It would become apart of the family while it stays with us. We have a very disciplined schedule that caring for animals works well for. We will send pictures and daily updates as we care for your pet. Look forward to meeting you and your pet. Pet Walking, Doggy Daycare, and Drop in visits are completed by our 15 year old daughter Isabella (Izzy) who is saving for her first car. She serves the Ogden, Porters Neck, and surrounding area on Saturdays and Sundays.

We are on vacation and decided to go see a movie. We were thankful Steven and his family could watch Layla while we went to the movie. Thanks again so much!

I can’t recommend them enough! They are such a kind and welcoming family, and they took amazing care of my boy. Their daughters were so sweet with him, and it was clear he was loved and well cared for the entire time. He came home happy, completely worn out, and ready for bed every day, which is always the best sign! We’ll definitely be booking with them again, and I couldn’t recommend them more.

Schedule

Brittany and I are both educators and work 7:30-3:30, Monday through Friday, from August through May. During those hours, your pet will be home alone, but they will receive plenty of love, care, and attention and will be treated as part of our family throughout their stay. Monday-Friday we do drop-off/pick-up times after 4pm and on Saturday and Sunday drop-off/pick-up can be anytime after 10:30am. If you need an early drop-off please bring your pet the night before.

Safety, trust & environment

We give your pet the keys to the house while they are here. They will already be stressed because their owner is gone and they are in a new place. They can go out in the fenced backyard or just relax in the house. We do a walk in the evening and if you are booked on the weekend they will get to go out hiking. Some pets just like hanging out on the couch and thats ok too.

Pets

A typical day

Drop off: Please text when you on the way with a approximate ETA. We will bring you into the house to make your pup feel at home then you can sneak out as they explore the house and backyard. If they have been here before just open they door to the car and they will run in to get their staycation started. We will come grab the food and bags. Pick up: Please text when your about 20-30 mins out with an approximate ETA. We will gather your pet's bowls, bed, and bag to meet you outside in the front yard. This will allow you to get back on the road to home after what usually is a long journey.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Steven can host up to 2 pets per night
Please inform us if you have any special meal plans or medical information prior to arrival so we can plan ahead of time. What to bring..... anything that will make your pup feel at home. Dog bed, favorite toy, water, food bowls, kennel if used regularly, and anything else that would ease the stress of a new home away from home. We have dog guests that visit often, and we have been their sitter for years and as long as your pup is friendly, they will fit right in. If you don't feel comfortable selecting that your pup is friendly with other dogs, we are probably not the sitter for you.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
