“Victoria was great! She did exactly as she said concerning my cat and took very good care of her. I was well informed on a daily basis with photos.

About: We are a dog family through and through. My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. Together we have always had a dog as well. Large house with a fenced in back yard. Lots of space to run. We have a large black lab/Shepard mix that requires a lot of exercise so that is a regular thing. We both work full time but will will have weekend open to watch your pets. On the weekends we are up with our dog by 6 AM and would not leave for more than a couple hours at a time. We have a fenced in backyard and a nice area for walking the dogs. We have a 5 year old 100lb lab Shepard mix. He loves other dogs but due to his size and energy other dogs don’t always love him. Would need to do a meet and greet to make sure they would be okay
About: I have grown up with dogs and can’t imagine my life without them. In fact, when I was younger I saved up all my birthday and chore money to buy my first dog, a pug, at the age of 12. I have had several puppies of my own that I have successfully trained. In college I fostered several puppies until they found their furever home. I have also pet sat, both dogs and cats, for several years and I will always treat your pet like they are my own! I work from home which gives me the availability to give dogs frequent potty breaks if needed. I am able to take a lunch break and walk dogs to get some exercise. My evenings are evenings are free and clear for evening walks, feeding time or some extra cuddles! I am adamant about pets being on leashes when out and about. Because I will care for your pet like I do my own, I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy and out of harms way. With my own dogs, I use harnesses with their leashes for that extra safety and more control when needed.
“Kristen was great and was able to stop in and check on our cat while we were out of town. She was flexible with our schedule as well. Thank you!”
“Brandi did a great job taking take of our 2 kitties! Our older cat needs meds & special food. She was easy to communicate with and gave the cats pets and affection!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life, and we’ve always shared a natural bond built on mutual respect and affection. I care for every pet as if they were my own, knowing how much they miss their families when they’re away. My goal is to provide comfort, love, and companionship so they feel safe and supported in your absence. I also understand how important routine is for animals, and I always follow your instructions carefully to maintain the consistency they need. I am currently working part-time from home. My job schedule is flexible. I wake up at 530 am and can stay up as long as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering affection, companionship, and a calm presence to reduce any stress or loneliness they may feel in your absence. I keep food and water areas clean, scoop litter boxes, clean up after your pets, and ensure your home stays tidy. I respect your space as if it were my own. I’m happy to send photos or short updates so you can feel reassured that your pet is doing well while you're away. I show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and am fully committed to the well-being of your pets and your home.
“Alexis was great! Kept us up to date on everything and sent pics! We felt very comfortable.”
“Briana actually took care of our cats this time. Charlie Murphy, Mikka and Simba were well cared for. Briana sent a picture of Mikka the one day when she came to take care of them. They still had food when we got home and their litter boxes had been taken care of. I would highly recommend Briana for your furry kids!”
About: I have been a cat dad for 10 years & a dog dad for 3. However I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like or who didn’t like me. Very much looking forward to helping take care of your best companion. Recently relocated to New Bern. Looking forward to a slower pace of life. I have my week days free and open to be available to take care of your furry ones. I have a fenced yard, 1 friendly dog and 2 independent cats who keep me company. I will be sure everyone gets along or gets their own space. I am also more than able to come to your home and spend some time playing or walking your fur baby.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little and continue to watch my family and friends pets while they are out of town. I love dogs and cats and provide exceptional care to fur babies when their owners are away :) I work part time and and have morning and evening availability. I would love to connect with your pets and help owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands! I provide a clean and safe environment for my kittens and make sure they are given plenty of play time, love, and a clean space
“Kylie was great with Casey and very responsive with me. She texted me updates and left me feeling at ease about being away. I will definitely be hiring her again!!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat watching since I was 17 years old and I’m 23 now. I’m also experienced in senior pet care and comfortable with all sorts of pets! I grew up on a small farm, and I really enjoyed taking care of friends pets growing up. It was hard when I moved to be away from them, but I quickly gained more clients who trusted me with their fur babies, and that’s what I’m hoping to do here as well :) I’m currently full time however I’m always available at least two days of the week, if not more depending on the time I have before or after work. I believe in fear free practices, so in the clients home I am comfortable crating if necessary, and just hanging out to let your fur baby become comfortable with me in their space.
“Aisling was wonderful to work with! She took care of our dog like he was her own & very communicative about his day with pictures!”
About: While working in a professional environment at Jill's Pet Resort, I was entrusted with the care of a variety of pets. All sizes, breeds and personalities. I developed personal relationships with frequent visitors and treated them all as if they were my own. Within the environment I worked, I was exposed to all facets of pet care to include first aid, cleaning and providing food. This is my dedicated activity and is priority. I work solely to provide care for the pets of owners. I have no conflicts that would interfere with this goal. I live with 2 dogs, 3 birds and care for 6 tanks of fish. I have cared for my own dogs by taking them to parks for exercise or watching over them while in my fenced in back yard. I have cleaned up after accidents and also picked up after them in the yard to make sure the environment they live in is as clean as possible. I feed all my pets on a schedule to include the fish. Understanding the importance of schedules is not foreign to me. I have walked my pets while leashed and have taken them out of the home for socialization.

Irina C.
“Irina has been a terrific pet sitter for our two cats. She arrives on time, feeds the cats, empties the litter box and spends time playing with them. She sends us pictures and videos of the cats which are a great treat while we are away. She has also helped by taking out the trash and bringing in our mail. Additionally, we left for the airport on one of our trips in the very early morning and didn't realize the storm we had overnight had blown one of our shutters off the house. She let us know and asked if we wanted her to help move it out of the way. She truly goes above and beyond. If you are looking for the best pet sitter ever, give Irina a call!!”

Kyle S.
“I've used Kyle on a number of occasions while I was out of town. I always felt confident that my pets were being cared for in the same manner I would. My fish were fed and the dogs were taken out, fed and kept with water. We had a couple of incidents when I was not in country and my pet needed Medical Care. Kyle took my dog to the vet to insure they were cared for.”
