House Sitting in Oak Island

“Marilyn did a great job with our old dog (14 years) and 2 cats. Our 10 year old cat can be picky, but he likes Marilyn. She took the dog for short walks and gave lots of love to the kitten.”

“Wonderful visit with Grace as always. She is so polite and sends many updates with pictures of our dogs. She’s also very clean while staying at our home. Our dogs seem to love her and we will continue to use Grace for our Rover needs.”

“Kayla was fantastic! She took care of our senior fur babies overnight making them feel comfortable, safe and loved. Her challenging task of administering several medications to our cat was no problem for Kayla. We most certainly will use her again!”

“She was all around wonderful!”

“Michelle has pet sat for my dog and she’s wonderful. She’s very caring, great communication and punctual I love the way she interacts with my dog 🐕 Definitely hire her again.”

“Sherry and her husband were fantastic. They cared for our puppy Maxwell for a week while we were out of town. They addressed all of his needs including medication and diet modifications. As he was recovering from a recent illness. In addition to carrying for Maxwell, they kept our home tidy and were flexible when our flight was canceled and we returned home a day late. Will definitely consider having them care for Maxwell in the future.”

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren and I love dogs of all ages and sizes. Every time I see one I want to snuggle it and take care of it. I’ve had dogs all my life. Neighbors, friends and family have depended on me to take care of their fur babies. I love them like my own. I have had an English bulldog growing up and currently have a Sato (mutt) from Puerto Rico and recently adopted Mini Australian Shepherd. I want nothing more to make your fur baby happy whether it be a walk or extra pets! My weeks vary depending on schedule, however my husband works from home 24/7 so your dogs will always be taken care of and never left alone. It is our goal to shower your dog with the love and attention it deserves! I live in an house with two gated dog parks in the community. Miles and miles of walking trails and roads to walk if needed. I have a dog crate if your dog needs to be crated. I also have a two dogs who can run around and play with your dog or sleep lay down and sleep if your dog is more more easy going.

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to take care of animals. For the past 3.5 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician. I pride myself on understanding each pets’ unique personality and needs. I am confident in my ability to provide the best possible experience for you and your fur babies! I work full-time at an animal hospital. I am available before and after work, and all day on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. If it is close enough, I will be able to check in on your fur baby between 12pm-2pm. I am able to check in on your pet periodically or stay overnight if needed. Either way, I will make sure your pet(s) get all the attention and care they need!

“We had peace of mind knowing JoEllen was taking good care of our cat Tweetie and watching the house while we were on vacation. She communicated well with us and sent pictures for added peace of mind. Would recommend her to anyone needing a quick check in on their pet or something extended.”

“Can’t say enough good things about this kid. She was watching my diabetic cat when I was away for two weeks. I can tailed giving her insulin shots twice a day. Which that Cat. was not crazy about. And she handled it like a pro. I almost think my cats liked her better than me. And recently she has watched my new dog, He happens to be a blue nose pit and mastiff mix. Yes quite a large animal. We’re going back on vacation and she will yet again be his mom for the week. Can’t tell you how my pets love her. And how much I appreciate and love the job that she does she’s actually part of the family now”

“Alison, Thank you for doing such a great job with my 3 girls. You willingly took on the challenge of keeping a Older Rottweiler from licking open wounds on her leg and you prevented it - I really appreciate it. You kept me updated on their happiness, multiple times a day, which allowed to me to relax and enjoy our time away. I hope you will be available the next time we need someone to look after our girls as they were well taken care (& they missed you when you left)”

“Rachel was wonderful with our rescue dog who can be stubborn sometimes ☺️. She helped us out with a very last minute need for someone to do an overnight Stay.”

“Kimberli is someone I trust my dogs life with, she is caring and loving towards animals. My dog does not like people, she likes to bark and snap at people but Kimberli slowly wanted to make sure my dog felt comfortable enough to the point where Kimberli could attempt to pet her. Kimberli made it known to my dog that she was not afraid of her and that she should trust that she wasn’t going to harm my dog. Trust is one of the most important factors in taking care of any animal. Responsibility is also a major factor in being a caregiver, Kimberli makes sure she understands the importance of being patient with my dog and understands my dogs fear and anxiety towards other people.”

About: I'm 27 years old, and have been around many different animals. Growing up, my grandmother bred bichon frise puppies. I would help care for them and train them also. I've worked with farm animals, parakeets and cats. Each animal is special with their own personality. I love each animal I come to meet! I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty to spend with your beloved pet! Available most days, and can be flexible to work for whatever your needs may be. My family and I have plenty of open space, as well as a clean home environment. Your pet is always safe under our families care. Lastly, we do not crate pet's, unless requested and they're used to sleeping in one overnight.

“Kristina is always an awesome sitter and she treats Otto like he's her own Dog. We highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had many animals growing up from dogs all the way to pigs and a turkey. I’ve watched/walked many dogs for multiple friends and family. I own a Health and Wellness salon in Shallotte and serve part time Thursday,Friday,Saturday 4-8:30. So I have plenty of time to me with my baby and yours. I can give them all the love they need and I love to play catch. I can crate them if need be but I would rather have them out.

“Jo was fantastic she kept us updated throughout her stay at our house and we came home to a happy dog and happy home. She took great care of out dog "Cashew" and gave him all the attention any dog could need and the fun pictures she sent kept us feeling good during our trip. I highly recommend using Jo and will be using her services again in the future.”

“Carley is a wonderful pet sitter. She has stayed at my house a few different times and each time we are very pleased. All 3 of my dogs love her, and get so happy to see her when she comes by. No other person I would recommend!”

About: Hey! My name is Teresa. I have always had dogs and cats growing up, raising them from babies to adulthood + even senior. I have a large dog Odin, and a 1 year old kitty named Blue. Right now I am a full time AGM at the hotel I work at and am in school for Healthcare Information Technology. I live near the beach and a few dog parks and would love to bring your babies for a fun day. Odin & Blue freeroam my house and they sleep in bed with me. Odin is crated when I am away due to some anxiety he experiences when he is alone. These are both my babies and are treated like my 2nd & 3rd kids. Pet care fits into my every day life because I have a dog and a cat of my own. It’s before and after work and all day when necessary. My pets are able to freely roam throughout my house while I am home, but the Odin is crated before I leave the house. However you keep your dog while away, I have no problem following suit!

About: I am a huge dog lover of all kinds!! I have both big and small and adore all of the different personalities of dogs! I have been dog sitting since I was in high school whether that be daily checking or overnights! My fiancé and I are moving to the beach with our pupper and would love to love on your sweet pups! My fiancé is an online seminary student that works part time and I am about to begin a remote job that would allow me freedom to fit pet care into my daily schedule! I have worked with overnight at the owners parents as well as pups being brought in house. I respect the owners wishes for how they wish for their dog to be cared for whether that be long walks, crated, etc., regardless of my home or yours.
