House Sitting in Pine Knoll Shores

“Christine is excellent. She sent pictures and took care of our cat, Sandy, while we went camping for the weekend. She even made sure to play with Sandy so she didn’t get bored. It was a relief to know she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received. Rebekah was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural affinity for the job. Both my dog and cat loved her, Rebekah made sure they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with Rebekah again. Shes a 10/10”

“Hannah was wonderful! She met up for a meet and greet before and all of my pups loved her (even the skittish terrier) so I knew they would be in good hands. She was responsive and on time and we felt very comfortable with her - we will definitely have her watch the pups again! Thanks Hannah!”

“Jen was the best!! She was so kind and caring with our River and was fully willing to handle her puppy antics :) Jen sent frequent updates so I never worried and was so enthusiastic about taking care of her! We are so so grateful for her!!!”

“Christina is a regular part of Toby's and Rose's life now. I have extensive business travel and she has been a real comfort when I have to leave one or both of them. She takes great care of both my sweet cat and dog and of my home.”

Beth C.

“I cannot recommend Sandy enough! She took such great care of our pet and our house while we were gone. She sent daily pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, which we loved! We will 100% be using her as our permanent 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.

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!

“We LOVE Heaven! She’s quickly become a special part of our family. Our fur babies enjoy her company and are very happy when she’s around. She’s our number one pick. We needed her last minute and she was right there within minutes to house set for us. We know our fur babies are in the best of care with Heaven. I highly recommend her.”

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 have eight years experience in the veterinary medicine field and 10 in the rescue/foster setting. I have been petsitting for years now as a way to pursue my passion with animals. Who doesn’t want to do what they love right? I currently work part time that gives me the flexibility to check on the pets multiple times throughout the day. I can send pictures and updates of your babies as we progress through our time together. That way you can be at ease wherever that may be knowing your loved ones are in a relaxed state at home. If my schedule shows not available, please do not hesitate to message me. I can always tweak my daily schedule to try and accommodate you. Working for a vet I realized that most animals are more comfortable, staying at home in their own environment than being boarded and kenneled with 10 other dogs while they’re high strung and on meds for diarrhea and anxiety.

About: I love animals and will treat yours like my own! We will play and walk and have fun together! I can accommodate special needs as well . We have a doggy door so your pet can go in our large fenced in yard as he or she pleases. We walk every afternoon in our neighborhood. If you prefer your dog crated, that works as well. I have 2 friendly dogs. Your dog can be crated at your request, otherwise he or she is free to roam as long as friendly and house trained.

About: With a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I’m here to give your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. I started pet sitting and dog walking back in middle school and never stopped—it’s truly a passion of mine! I’m patient, active, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My dog, who passed away a few years back, was a trained service animal and the sweetest boy. Whether your pet is shy or full of energy, I’m here to meet them where they are and make them feel right at home. I am self employed and work from home with a flexible schedule so I have time to dedicate to your pups and kitties! I can typically accommodate last minute bookings. As stated prior, my dog (who has now passed) was a service dog and went through safety training. I learned a lot throughout that course about pet handling and care. I am active and fit and can work with with animals from the smallest of kittens to the largest of pups!

About: Hi, I’m Julie—a full-time high school English teacher with a lifelong love for animals and two grown children of my own. During the summer, I’m available full-time for pet sitting, and I offer limited availability during the school year. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for my sister’s elderly dogs and two cats, and I was a proud dog mom myself for many years. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m also an avid runner, so if your dog needs more than a leisurely stroll, I’d be happy to take them on longer walks or runs to burn off energy and stay healthy. Whether your furry friend needs a calm companion, a playful pal, or someone who knows how to scoop the litter box with grace—I’m your person! I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to follow any special routines your pet requires. Let’s chat and see how I can help! Since I am a teacher and my 2 boys are grown, I am almost always availabe during the summer months. I am available durng the school year on a more limited basis. I am out of school from June 6-August 15 (give or take a few days depending on the year). Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting your home or caring for pets in mine, I always follow your instructions closely and maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure food, medications, and routines are followed exactly as requested, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I’m respectful of your space, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet!

“Michaela got back to me quickly to house sit and keep an eye on our pups. Sadly, our elderly lab passed before she was set to watch them. She was very sweet and patient with me as I was very stressed leaving our younger Aussie doodle behind, she’s never been without our lab and def not without both our lab and us. She kept us updated and was flexible with her time. She even came and spent extra time when we were going to be late knowing I was nervous about her adjusting to being alone. We came home to a happy dog and clean house. We are very grateful and would love to have Michaela help us with Lilly again in the future now that they’re buddies!”

About: I’ve cared for my own pets for almost 8 years. In that time span I’ve had a total of 11 dogs and 5 different breeds under my care and was blessed to have a unique connection with each one. It’s so special to learn about each of their personalities and caring for them in their own unique way. No pet should feel unloved by the caregiver and should feel safe and comfortable. I hope to be able to do the same for yours ! I currently am finishing my last semester in college. I try to allow myself to have a flexible schedule so I can work different services or hustles and have time for my studies. Currently at home I have a golden retriever. He’s very energetic so we go on walks and play with toys at the house or in the yard. Try to keep his energies up and maintain him on an eating schedule as well.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals for about 5 years now. I raised my current 2 goldens and am used to giving animals lots of attention, love, and care! I am a student so I have class occasionally but am very flexible and never typically away for more than 3 hours. I also have my own transportation. I am used to very high energy pets and understand the need for lots of walking, playing, and attention! I have had experience with a wide variety of ages and sizes and can tailor my care to your pets needs. I am also very attentive to any mood changes and detecting sickness, and am highly responsive when a pet isn't feeling well.

“DeAnna was awesome and took such great care of our River! She is a 5 month old golden so can be a little high maintenance and DeAnna was so sweet with her!! She also was incredibly flexible with our timeline change! Even our neighbors commented on how patient and good she was with River!”
