“Haley took excellent care of our two dogs (both 80+ lbs)! She was flexible with start/end times, had excellent communication, sent me updates while we were away, the dogs took to her immediately and we knew they were in great, experienced hands. We hope to return to the OBX and will definitely have Haley care for them again.”


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.

About: I had the joy of adopting my dog, Bella, and being her mom for seven wonderful years. She was my soulmate, and I gave her all the love, care, and attention she deserved—especially as she got older and needed a little extra help. That experience taught me how to be patient, responsible, and deeply in tune with a pet’s needs. I understand how much animals mean to their people, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently in school earning my master’s in business administration, and caring for animals is something I truly love doing alongside my studies. I’m currently back in school working on my master’s in business administration, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I plan my coursework around my responsibilities, so pet care fits in naturally as part of my daily routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I enjoy building time into my day to care for animals. It’s not just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where animals feel safe and loved. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I always follow any instructions provided to ensure consistency and comfort. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and treat their pets like family. I’m available seven days a week and take pride in being reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with.

About: I pay attention to detail and makes your pets feel like you never left home. You’ll come home to them knowing they were loved and cared for. I have an infant so I have a very fluid schedule throughout my week. My main priority is to be with my son. We both love animals and would love to take on this opportunity to help others. I follow the rules you request and make sure your pets are safe and cared for just like you would at home. My goal is to go beyond the bar that’s set so ensure quality care.

“Sara helped me when I had a family emergency, she took care of my pups andmy home! My oldest fur baby has cancer and she even went to the vet to pick up meds when he ran low! Absolute peace of mind for all of us!”


About: I have nine cats of my own and work as a cat care technician, so I’m experienced with all types of cats. I know how to administer shots and medication, including caring for my own diabetic cat. I also had two cats who lived to be 17 and 16 years old, which taught me a lot about long-term care and commitment. I work from 8 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM on weekdays, with rotating weekends. On weekends, my shift ends at 2 PM. I would visit the cat’s home to feed them, clean their litter box, socialize with them, and take care of any other necessary tasks. To make sure they’re comfortable and well kept! I would visit the dogs home, feed them, let them go potty, and help them burn off some energy.

“It has been a huge relief to find someone we trust that our animals love as well. We first met Kayla before the holidays and since then she’s house sat for us multiple times. Kayla is proffessional, caring, great with animals, and quick to respond! We highly recommend if you need a pet sitter to give her a try :)”


“Brooke was great, she was so great to communicate with. She sent me pictures often and my dog had an incredible time, I would recommend for anybody!”


About: I absolutely love dogs and cats and have over 13 years of experience with my own dog as well as taking care of family and friends pets! I have lived with and worked on training with a number of dogs and cats and feel very confident in my abilities with all animals. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to prioritize house and pet sitting. I currently work remotely so I am able to accept same day bookings depending on my schedule - but this allows me to make a schedule change very easily! I respect and love each pet as if it were my own. I know routines and expectations are very important to animals, so being able to accommodate to their routine is very important, as well as being able to read their body language and respect their needs.

About: Hi! I’m 26 and have over 7 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I don’t have a pet of my own right now, so pet sitting is a great way for me to stay connected to animals—and give them the care and attention they deserve while you're away. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some extra company, I’m around to make sure they’re well cared for. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and fresh air. For pets staying with me, I treat them like they’re my own—making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was very young, and have cared for the pets of many families, and animals at various Humane Society locations. I have also trained many breeds and sizes of dogs and have experience with other animals including cats, fish, and reptiles. I fit in pet care whenever possible between classes and work. I live an active lifestyle, so I am happy to spend time exercising your pet! My own home has no fenced-in backyard but I can provide walks at local parks and other outdoor areas. In a client’s home I would take great care to take care of a pet while also being respectful of the client’s belongings and property.

About: I’ll love your dogs like they’re my own 🫶🏼 I have a Shiba/Border Collie mix at home and I grew up with Labs, German Shepards, Dachshunds, & Yorkies. I’m currently unemployed.

We also go for long walks around the neighborhood and on the beach.

“Carmen helped us out in a time of need on short notice. My dog would take walks with her, even though she isn’t always willing to with females. It seemed like she was grateful for the job and bonded with and spoiled my dog while we were away. I would recommend her!”


“Lauren was fabulous and took great care of my dog. She was a pleasure to meet and communicated frequently to keep me informed. I will definitely book with Lauren again.”

“Laura took great care of Gabe and our home! He was a perfectly happy boy when we got home. Laura shared lots of photos of our pup while we were away. Would definitely have her stay with our Gabe again.”
