About: My kids and I love to walk dogs. This is an opportunity for us to spread the love as we do not have a dog of our own. Hiring me = 1, 2 or all 3 of my kids helping. My schedule is fairly flexible so I will be able to meet your needs especially if given more notice. Summer and after school hours means more likely one of my kids will be available to give additional love to your pet. Will walk your dog wherever you prefer. Dog can also be taken to an enclosed area like a dog park so the dog can run around freely.

“Ashleigh was great! Our babies were very well taken care of, she sent pictures each visit, had great communication and we felt completely comfortable with her watching our pups”


“Kim was excellent! She dropped in on my dog twice a day for a week while I was out of town, once to walk him and once to feed him. Even though my dog can be a bit troublesome when it comes to meeting new people, he warmed up to Kim right away! She is kind, professional, and goes above + beyond. When my dog accidentally trapped himself in the laundry room and made a big mess in his panicked state, Kim immediately gave us an update and even cleaned up the mess. I highly recommend her services and will gladly use them again.”


About: I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, so I have a full, loving house. My babies are rescues and my heart. They range from 9 years old to 1 year old. I have been involved in pet rescues for over 20 years and have watched several pets for many military deployments when we were stationed at Norfolk Naval Base . I treat every pet I meet as family, I make sure all needs are met and safely follow all special request, diets etc. I am very easy to reach at all times and available for emergencies also. I know at home that's mine. Please feel assured when I am with your pets they are being very spoiled. Have a great PAWS Day! Pet care is my life! I do it every day and anytime needed. My animals are my first priority in my household. They bring me tremendous joy! Petcare is a PRIORITY in my home! Even my grandbabies know MawMaw loves and spoils everyone!

“Sandy was great with our dogs!! We were here on vacation and she took them for fantastic walks on the beach. My dogs were so happy! I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Will definitely hire her again next time we are here..”


About: Given our dog is only 1.5 years old, I have recent experience with a puppy and am used to the high energetic demands of hers. I've also always had dogs growing up, some of which had disabilities with walking, so am capable of caring for senior pets or furry friends who just need a little extra help! I currently work full-time, but have flexible hours and the ability to telework two days a week. Therefore, I'm relatively available at any point during the day and can come in the mornings/evenings and even mid-day if need be. Having pets of my own, makes it pretty easy to fit into my routine as I'm already used to taking care of their needs. I want to always treat anyone's home as if it were my own and be respectful of their space. My mom always taught me to leave things cleaner than I found them so if you welcome me into your home I will always be thoughtful of any messes that might occur from any pets. Having pets myself, also makes me very compassionate to the stress that can come from leaving your pets while on vacation. Therefore, I assure to take the best possible care of your fur babies and send updates while you're away!

About: I am a passionate animal lover and have been for my entire life. I love all animals and have chosen to pursue a career as a zookeeper. I graduated from college with an Associates Degree in Zoo Science and Technology. After graduating I worked for Petco for almost 2 years. I am now currently working for Petsmart and have been for almost 2 and half years. So I have extensive knowledge and experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I have been my childhood neighbors dog sitter for the past 10 years and have been a petsitter for multiple other people including co-workers. I even have experience with small animals such as hamsters and reptiles. I treat all pets as if they are my own and would love the chance to care for yours! I am currently working part-time at Petsmart and work at least five days a week. I work mostly mornings so my afternoons are usually free! I cannot offer to watch your pet at my home, as I am renting; however, I am very comfortable visiting your home to care for your pet! I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.
About: I have two of my own dogs in my home and to me, dogs are family. My dogs have been with me through many life changes and I love them so much! I will treat your dogs like they are your family and respect how special they are to you. They will get lots of pets, playtime, as well as their usual needs met such as frequent potty breaks and feedings. Daily, fresh water is always available unless otherwise requested. I work Monday-Friday. My days consist of an 8 hour shift with an hour lunch break. I go home everyday on my lunch to let my dog out to go potty. I respect how families care for their pets and if they follow certain schedules or care plans. I am here for you, so I will follow whatever plan you desire for your pet, and will give lots of love and pets.

“Jason was absolutely amazing. He took great care of my sweet little Reba. He took her on walks, played with her, and made sure that she had plenty of water at all times. I would recommend Jason for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


About: I ran a dog-watching business in Southern Maryland for 7 years, caring for pups of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m experienced with feeding routines, medication, and making even the shyest dogs feel safe and loved. My years of hands-on experience set me apart, and I truly treat every dog like family. I have an 8 year old pug myself❤️ I’m currently working part-time as a server in Morehead City while I wait to start my 9–5 this fall. My shifts are short—usually no more than 4.5 hours—and I’m not getting scheduled as much as I’d like. That means I have plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care, and I’m excited to spend it with some furry friends! I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety by following all care instructions closely, keeping a watchful eye on pets, and maintaining a calm, clean space. I’m committed to building trust with both pets and owners through reliable, respectful, and attentive care.

“Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!”

About: Hello! My name is Abby Buoncuore and I am 25 years old. I live in Havelock, NC but originally from New Jersey. I have been around dogs my whole life and love to play and cuddle with them! I volunteered at an animal shelter back in my hometown so I am very experienced when it comes to providing proper care for them. I am currently in my last year completing my Masters in Social Work. My schedule is flexible so you can always count on me for walks, potty breaks, or over night stays. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and will always ensure to provide the best quality of care! I’m currently completing an online masters program which allows me to be at home for a majority of the day. I am an early riser so your pet will get to release their energy in the mornings & throughout the day. I have a fully fenced in yard & a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Milo is a 3 year old German Shepherd who loves the company as well!

About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
