House Sitting in Pine Knoll Shores

“Joanne is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She is very responsive and sends pictures. She is the perfect person to watch your dogs and is very trustworthy. I will be using Joanne again for our next trip away!”

“Christina was great with my dogs. She took care of them while I was away for a week and kept me updated with pictures while I was away. I will definitely work with her again.”

“Suzanne is a lovely person and she took great care of my dog Rose and my home. I really appreciate her stepping in to help out while I had a family medical issue to deal with in another state. Rose absolutely loved her...When I got home, my pup greeted me but went right back to sit with Suzanne. That was awesome...exactly what I love seeing when I have to leave her. I recommend Suzanne to anyone who wants a sweet, responsible pet sitter.”

“Tabitha took care of our cat and home purrfectly! We will definitely use her again.”

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.

“Caylon and Yara were great with Danno, who is a high-energy, larger dog that was adopted not too long ago and can have some anxieties. Danno was walked and handled competently and was affectionate to Caylon as he departed (which is a telltale sign!). Caylon and Yara were punctual, communicated well and left things very clean. I appreciate their being here.”

“Our pups absolutely love Emily!!”

“Erica loves dogs and dogs love her! She always takes the best care of any pet she interacts with and will always follow owner instructions.”

About: My stepmom fostered 100s of cats, dogs, and even other great pets who just needed homes and growing up me and my brother learned a lot being around these animals. I work part time and have classes but I’m always 5 min from home and am there throughout the day a lot, unless I have the day off I might stay home. I have a fenced in front yard as well as a barkyard with plenty of space to burn some energy or just relax in the shade, no doggy doors so they won’t be able to run away. We keep no air fresheners to make sure animals fur and skin isn’t harmed, no smoking at all, and can accommodate most anything.

About: I grew up on a farm with not only dogs and cats but cows, chickens, horses, pigs, and even bunnies and snakes. You name it I’ve either owned it or tried to bring it in the house in my pockets. As for dogs and cats specifically, I’ve had three dogs and too many kitties to count. I’ve bottle fed both and have trained my personal dogs from puppyhood. I can give advice on trouble areas in that regard (but I am not a professional dog trainer by any means). Last year, my dog Memphis was diagnosed with kidney disease. I administered medicine and care for him until he had to leave this world. All that to say, I am able to help with sick/elderly dogs. I currently have two cats, Khaleesi and Seuss, and a German Shepherd Dog, Cash, all of whom I love dearly. I am available most weekends and I work 8 to 4 throughout the week. When I am at work, I have an enormous yard for the pups to play in. If you have an escape artist, I can work with you on a solution that keeps them safe with as much freedom as you're comfortable with. Your pets will be my pets while I’m with them! I live in a home with a cat and a dog. If your pet is able to reside comfortably alongside my animals I’d love to have them visit us! I can be as active or relaxed with them as you’d like me to be. I have a large fenced in yard, and I spend at least an hour before and after work with my dog either playing fetch or going for a walk. Trips to the dog park are special treats for us. If you’re comfortable with it and they are at least moderately behaved on a leash, I’ll bring them along. If I am coming to your home, I will treat it as my own and leave everything how I found it. The litter box will be cleaned and the water/food refilled as necessary. I’ve been known to water the plants on the way out the door as well.

About: I was born and raised with golden retrievers, they are my heart and soul. Since I grew up with such loving dogs, I’ve grown a huge desire to care for others’ cats and dogs. I am the go to for family friends and neighbors. I normally rely on word of mouth or networking with people I meet. I currently work full time 8-5 Monday through Friday. However I’m able to stay and take care of them before and after work or even on weekends! I spend as much time as I can in the home with the animals. I go based off written instructions and openly communicate with the owner throughout the time I visit.

“Absolutely amazing care! The dogs where well taken care of and the house looked great. Loved knowing Katie was here, she is incredibly kind and loves animals. So glad to have met her.”

About: Hi, my name is Macie. I have experience with cats, dogs, bunnies, and other pets as well. I grew up with three dogs and two cats and have always been around animals. I am comfortable with all breeds. I can provide drop ins as well as overnight stays. Please feel free to reach out for any questions, inquiries, or need of references you may have . I currently work a full-time job, but can be able to leave for periods of time to let pets out to potty, play, or assist any other needs. I’m off in the evenings as well, so for overnight I am full availability. I cannot provide services in my home at this time, but am more than happy and comfortable to stay in your home as needed. I can provide references.

“My Favorite Dog Sitter and my dogs favorite too❤️ Always Happy and Excited to be able to watch my dogs - My dogs and house are always in order! Thanks again❤️”

“Beatriz is very kind, and patient, and responsible especially when it comes to animals. She has a great way of managing things and follows whatever rules are needed. She’s taken care of my dogs and they’ve always loved her.”

“Dan is a perfect candidate for a dog sitter/walker. He happens to be my son but he has been responsible for his dog and our standard poodles. He has taken care of our neighbor's and friend's dogs as well. He loves dogs and is dependable.”

About: I have grown up with all animals including horses, cows, chickens, goats, reptiles, dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. Currently have one black lab that I brought from the Caribbean! I am a nurse and love to excersize and 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 am in school full time from home 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 ❤️.

“So happy we found her. She was able to watch 6 pups for us on very short notice over Christmas. Excellent communication and did a great job. Went above expectations. Sent pictures of our fur babies every day. We will most definitely be using her again.”

“Maeve was fabulous! She was very attentive and active with our almost 2year old pup. I would definitely have her come stay again! Thanks Maeve.”

About: I've taken care of my own dogs for over 20 years. My current baby, Tallulah, is 16.5 years old and going strong! You could say I started out small - I've always had Chihuahuas - but I love dogs of all sizes. I often babysit my daughter's 2 larger dogs in Durham, NC, and this summer I spent 2 weeks in Baltimore keeping my son's dog while they traveled cross country. Dogs are joy and I realize I'm happier when I'm around them. I could satisfy my desire to be around more dogs by adopting another one, but I don't want to stress Tallulah, so I thought I'd try Rover. I need to walk more and I have so much love to give. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I do not have any daily or weekly scheduled activities. I like to walk and NEED to walk more for my health. At present, I can't keep pets at my home, but if I'm taking care of your pup, I will follow your rules and love your dog as if it were mine. And...if it's OK with you, I'll also spoil it a bit.
