“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Caitlin was absolutely fantastic with our little Aurora. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our furbaby than we did with Caitlin. She loved on Aurora as if she was her own. I loved all of the updates and pictures ahe sent to us! It's a good sign when our dog wanted to stay with Caitlin rather than go home. I would highly recommend Caitlin! We will certainly be repeat clients!!”


“Deznae was awesome with Duke @ Ellie. Both of them went on plenty of walks. Both of them was extremely happy and they love Deznae. She me in the loop along with pictures that made my day. Yes I will rebook w/ Deznae again as well.”


About: I’ve helped my baby through a hard battle with an autoimmune disorder. I’m capable of anything at this point. Especially, loving on pups that need their caretaker to go the extra mile. I’m able to drop in around lunch and/or house sit most every evening. I can especially help travelers that want to bring their dog on vacation but don’t want to have to do all the less fun activities for their pets. I’ll do whatever it asked of me while respecting your home, your loved fur baby, your money and your time. I truly do have your back.

“Stop 🚫 don't book with anyone else; she is fantastic with extraordinary love toward animals. My dog 🐕 is sick & she gives her meds & watches her closely. No one else will watch my Dog.”


About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

“Our English Setter (Denver) stayed with Susan over Spring Break. Denver can be a stress bomb when away from his normal routine and environment. Susan did a great job settling him down and taking care of him. When we picked him up, he was in perfect health, calm and relaxed. We will definitely use Susan again if we return to the Emerald Isle area with Denver.”


“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”


“Very warm and loving household and super helpful little ones to boot! Sayton is POOPED and had a great weekend all on short notice. Our new beach getaway dog-auntie! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️”

About: Hi there! I’m Hope Kim, a dog mom to a sweet shih tzu named Joey. 🐾 I’m currently working remotely, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and love throughout the day. I also have base access and can stop by and care for your pets! Over the years, I’ve volunteered at veterinary clinics, cared for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s going on walks or just keeping them company while their fur parents are away, I’m here to help your pup feel comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur baby and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Let me know how I can support you and your pet’s needs. I’d love to meet you both! I work from home full-time, so pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I schedule regular walks three times a day, outdoor time, and play breaks throughout the day. don’t have a fenced yard, but I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for leashed walks. I’m also comfortable using a crate if your dog is crate-trained.

About: I will provide excellent care for your dog/cat and satisfy all your needs. I will take care of any type of breed, no matter how big or small. My cares include dog walking, grooming, drop in visits, and I will do some special requests. If you have a dog park or any park nearby , I will glady take them and let them have fun. I also have a dog park near me. Please text me if you have any questions. I look forward to caring for your furbabies. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day 🫶🏻 I am currently working full time from home as an hr assistant. My schedule is flexible and I am able to handle requests as needed. Client home means client rules. I will abide by the rules and make sure your animals feels safe no matter where they are. Your furbabies are the main priority.

About: I’ve moved a lot and everywhere I went my one job that stayed consistent was pet sitting. I started watching family friends and neighbors pets at age 10. Pets have been a very big part of my life since I was little. I do want you to know the price could be higher or lower depending on the specific situation. I’m currently working from my home . I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I’m at my house full time and would love to have some furry friends over. I live on base, which has dog parks and is very safe. I take walks around my neighborhood frequently so you don’t have to worry about your pet not going out. I don’t have a big fenced in backyard but it is good for small dogs. I have a kitten who loves dogs and cats. He’s very sweet and lovable. I work part-time from my home so i’ll have plenty of time to play,cuddle, and walk your furry friend. My job allows me to choose my own hours so i’m able to make your pet feel loved when they are here. I have a small fenced backyard good for small dogs. I also have a very friendly kitten who loves dogs and cats. There are a lot of dog parks by me along with a lot of places to explore.

“Shannon is the best! She’s always so excited to spend time with you. I don’t know where she still finds all that energy after all you have her doing throughout the day. Thanks again for taking such good care of Piper.”


About: I have had animals my whole life and I currently have 2 dogs and my one little cat. I currently work as a vet tech while I’m in school studying biology. I am currently working part time and going to school I need something that will be a little bit more flexible with my school schedule for this coming spring. I can do mornings or nights or whenever I am needed! I have a nice sized yard in a very quiet area that is great for walks and playing. If more comfortable as well I am comfortable crating your fur baby as needed.

“Ashley is a star at her job! My "Happy" girl absolutely loved her "vacation". I would recommend her to anyone looking for a polished, loving, mature pet-sitter for your situation, I couldn't recommend her more highly. I perfect "10" from this Owner. She is awesome!”


About: I've been involved with animal rescue as long as I can remember. Taking in strays, rehabbing, and finding homes. I have worked with agencies and on my own and out of my pocket. I have written references available. I moved here from California, last year. I still have someone running my business in CA. I haven't worked since I arrived, although I signed up to volunteer with rescues. I'm pretty much retired now and I can't think of anything I'd rather do than play with fur babies. I have a chain link fence. 1/2 acre yard. I have a couple extra crates available. My dogs are very friendly, but I do want to get my clients and my dogs aquinted in a neutral place ie; dog park.

About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!

Ayesha A.
“Ayesha has been a wonderful dog walker for my golden doodle- Sasha! From the very first walk, it was clear how much she truly cares for animals. She’s always on time, communicates clearly, and gives my dog the attention, exercise, and affection she needs while I’m away. My golden doodle absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she shows up at the door. I appreciate her consistency, reliability, and how she treats my dog like her own. Knowing she’s in such capable and loving hands gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend Ayesha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver!”


Hope Kim P.
“Hopekim would be an excellent dog watcher for Rover because she is dependable, compassionate, and has a natural connection with animals. With a calm and attentive demeanor, she ensures pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for in her presence. Her experience with a variety of dog breeds and her commitment to following routines make her a trustworthy choice for any pet parent. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, Hopekim provides the care and attention every dog deserves. Hopekim personally cared for my 2 golden retrievers one weekend while my family and I were out of town, I could not recommend her more for this position!”

Danielle P.

Isabelle I.
“Isabelle is my daughter and has always been an animal lover. Growing up she was always surrounded around animals and loved taking them for walks, caring for them, bathing them, and etc. Before she moved she would pet sit for a bunch of our neighbors and family friends. Now she boards pets at her house as well and tells me how much she loves it.”

Janice Flores B.
“Janice is an amazing human being! She’s an awesome person in general, but when it comes to animals, she’s especially wonderful, because she loves them and cares for them each, and everyone of them as if they were her very own. She plays with them, she has fun with them, she cares for them and loves on them and if they need homes, she doesn’t rest until she finds homes for them. If you are in need of any type of pet care, you can rest assured that Janice will do a great job.”
