“Eileen came over 2 times a day for 3 days to take care of our two dogs and cat while we were away on vacation and she did a wonderful job! My big dog can be a little weird when it comes to meeting new people but Eileen was very patient and by her last visit, my dogs and cat ADORED her! She was awesome and if the opportunity arises again and we get to travel, I will definitely be contacting Eileen to help us! She was great with communication and response times and she made sure we were extremely comfortable leaving the animals for our trip! Thanks Eileen!”
“Lyndsay is awesome! She took copious notes during our initial meeting and instantly bonded with Sprinkles. She was exactly on time, sent great notes and took great care of Sprinks during their visit. Highly recommend!!!”
“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: 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.
“I had no problems with Lauren as she watched my cat Jimi. She did what she was asked to do. I would hire her again, if needed. I appreciated the updates with pictures. Thanks again, Lauren.”
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 love any and ALL animals, big or small. I have had my pets my entire life including both cats and dogs. I treat every pet as if it was my own and can cater to any specific needs. I can do walks or care visits in the morning or evenings. Typical between 7-9 a.m. and 7-10p.m. I can also take specific requests for times I will always make sure we have properly fitting and functional equipment when going for walks and ALWAYS make sure they get a good drink afterwards
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’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: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!
