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.

“Thank you for everything, Kerryanne!! You are such an amazing walker and my family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!! I will absolutely rebook with Kerryanne, whenever she’s available!!”


About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.

About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.

“Christine is a great dog person! She's very attentive, sensitive and makes my babies feel comfortable. She is able to walk both a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and a 4-month-old puppy and keep them safe. Highly recommend Christine for care of your fur babies.”


About: We’ve been dog sitting for family and friends over the past 10 years. Enjoy walking, playing and relaxing with them. Great with puppies to senior dogs. We are big dog lovers, flexible with our schedule and can certainly work with your dog’s schedule. Being with your dog is our top priority. Our yard is fenced in and our home is dog friendly. We prefer them to be around us whether it’s out in the yard or in the kitchen washing the dishes. In your home, is per your instructions.

About: For 30+ years, I shared my life with dogs, from wiggly puppies to gray‑muzzled seniors. My last two companions crossed the rainbow bridge only weeks apart after 15 wonderful years, caring for them through their golden years, which honed my skills with daily medication, injections, and gentle mobility support. I’m also a certified therapy‑dog handler. Together, Franco and I made rounds at retirement homes and hospice centers with a national organization called K9 Buddies. Whether it’s redirecting anxious energy, reinforcing good manners, or offering a soothing lap for snuggles, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique quirks. Friends jokingly call me “the dog whisperer” because dogs gravitate to me for lots of hugs. From basic obedience refreshers to specialized medical routines, your pet will get knowledgeable, compassionate care as if they were my own. I am self-employed, have ample time to fit potty schedules, and ensure your dog is well cared for when you cannot be home. If desired, overnights and long-term care is a possibility. Your pets care will depend on your desires and their personality. I am happy to discuss specific needs, from medication to play and training. My goal is to allow you to leave your dog home with peace of mind, knowing you do not have to double-check or worry.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I have done pet sitting and dog walking for my neighbors and friends since I was 10 years old, including high energy puppies and an elderly, blind dog in particular. I'm currently home from college for the summer and would love to take care of your pups! I have a big family so someone is always available to take your pet on walks or have playtime. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals on weekdays and weekends. Plus, there is always a family member at home so your pets will never be left alone. I have one friendly labrador in the home who sleeps in her crate at night. I can easily crate your dog as well if needed. We do not have a fenced in yard, however, our home is in a perfect location for long walks away from traffic and games of tug in the yard.

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats throughout my whole childhood. I’m currently a stay at home wife and pet mom of 2 dogs on a military base! I’m walking distance away from 3 different spacious dog parks and have a massive yard your dogs can walk and play in. I also live on base with a veterinary clinic. I’ve always had a love for animals and treat them all just like family! I currently do not work anywhere and I’m a full stay at home wife on a military base in Havelock, NC. I am looking for another part time job, definitely somewhere close to my house so I’m never too far away from the pets! We have a spacious yard, perfect for long walks and play time on a retractable leash! We also have a covered dog pen for rainy days and dogs who don’t want to get their paws wet. I usually feed my animals once in the morning but can cater to any dogs needs and normal schedules! Water is always available along with toys, a comfy couch, and dog beds! I also have experience in medication if your dog takes pills I can give them those if/when needed.

About: I have grown up with all animals including horses, cows, chickens, goats, reptiles, dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am a private chef and love to exercise and be crafty! Always working on a project of some sorts! I love to cook and keep a tidy house! Animals and children are a priority as I would love to eventually open my own animal care shelter one day where children of special needs can come to play and socialize with multiple different types of animals. In the last 7 years I have lived in areas such as the Caribbean, Chapel Hill and Morehead City, NC taking care of children and animals! I look forward to serving you and your pets in the future! I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to give attention to animals, household needs, and children. I love being active and taking care of animals has provided me with a perfect flexible schedule. I live in downtown Beaufort so walking is plenty! My house is also completely baby proofed for small children. I also help run errands, light cooking/cleaning at the home and provide plenty of play time and walks for animals. I work from home so I am able to keep close eye on your animal! I am able to offer tons of walks if that’s what’s needed or a relaxing environment for an older animal! Any animal that comes into my home gets treated just like my family dog. They are part of the pack and get tons of exercise if that’s what’s needed and lots of attention and love. Whenever I go to a clients home I make sure that all things animal related are tidy and that they are getting plenty of exercise and nourishment! Extra loving ❤️.

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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets has taught me how to understand their unique needs, whether it’s providing gentle care for senior dogs or keeping up with the energy and training needs of puppies. I just graduated college so right now I have completely open availability! I’m available during both weekdays and weekends to care for pets, including boarding. This flexible schedule lets me give animals the time, attention, and love they deserve every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and schedule, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away!
