“Sharon has been awesome taking care of my little Charleston. Communication was great, always on time and showed a lot of love toward my fur baby! I will definitely work with her again!”


“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: 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 worked at a dog grooming salon from ages 15-17, where I gained hands-on experience in dog walking, feeding, blow-drying, and providing attentive care to pets. I currently attend college in Greenville. I have morning classes and free afternoons and nights. I go to Carteret County on weekends and can pet sit there for that time. In your home, I provide personalized care tailored to your pet's routine and needs. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications if necessary. I ensure their environment remains clean, secure, and comfortable. I also offer companionship and attention to help alleviate any anxiety, providing a calm, loving presence while you're away. Whether it's daily check-ins or late-night walks, I maintain clear communication to ensure your pet receives the best care possible.

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.

“Kerryanne was a lifesaver! I needed a fill in for a last minute walk with my sweet angel baby, Rosie. Kerryanne was quick to respond, wonderfully sweet and showed up on time. Most importantly - Rosie Girl adored her! I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Thank you so much, Kerryanne! 🐶”


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: 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 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.

“Lauren is a very personable and responsible person that treats all animals as if they were her own. She has trained my dog to perform various tricks such as bowing, spinning, and handshaking.

7. Linda & Charlie B.
“I’ve known Linda for probably 15 years and she has taken care of my dog many times. She’s always very diligent to walk her multiple times a day and keeps me posted throughout the day with photos and updates about how she’s doing. I love that. She has been willing to keep to my schedule that I have set up with food and treats at certain times of the day, which keeps my dog on routine. She’s just super compassionate and loves to play with her and involve her in whatever it is that she’s doing and my dog always comes home having thoroughly enjoyed herself. There’s never a doubt in my mind that my dog’s getting anything other than the best care when Linda is watching her. And it’s really fun to see her great Linda after not having seen her in a while and she’s very excited to see her.”
