About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have my own mini farm, where I have pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys! So if you need any of those types of animals cared for I can do that too! I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!

“Ellie is an amazing fur-baby enthusiast!! She is reliable, flexible, and communicates well! My Chloe loves her and looks forward to their time together. I would highly recommend.”

“Alana was great with our Golden Retriever. Alana was always on time and even walked our big guy in the rain. It’s a great feeling to know Asher was in great hands while we were away. Thank you Alana”

About: My family has been breeding dashounds since I was young so I’ve got experience nursing animals back to health, some including: baby squirrels, goats and a pig! I’ve also had experience breeding Persian kittens/blue tick coon dogs and nursed them since birth! I’ve worked on farms with horses, donkeys and turkeys, I’m well experienced with farm animals as well as reptiles. I’ve owned snakes, bearded dragons and spiders! I also have done volunteer work at my vet, whose a friend that I have on call just in case, if any accidents were to ever happen! Your animals are always safe and happy with me :) I do not watch different sitters animals together even if there friendly, I’ve just realized that animals can already be a little stressed out in a different environment and having to meet a stranger animal at the same time as having to deal with trusting me as a stranger just seems to stressful; so I don’t book multiples. I love snuggles so dogs on the beds and couches are fine with me! I have a teenage daughter who plays softball and loves to play with pups in the backyard, she’s figured out how to use them for her benefit by having them retrieve the balls for her while she’s practicing! We also have a park close by that I could take them to if they aren’t satisfied with the backyard. I treat all animals like they are my own and might overload you with pictures and videos of there time with me! Also, please let me know if any dogs ever have allergies because I’ve learned to earn most animals trust with treats! (I make my own organic treats usually mixing a blend of the extracts from juicing of celery, carrots, beets and sometimes fresh deer meat)! I have always had a passion for animals, I have a lot of experience fostering pets so I know how to make an uncomfortable doggy super comfortable. I am home full time except twice a week for an hour and a half at softball practice, but if the animals I’m babysitting are friendly they get to come along for the ride and get lots of petting sessions. I also have experience training duck dogs and deer dogs and can maybe teach them a few tricks while there here. No matter big or small I love to treat pets like babies, they are so dependent on people that it’s up to us as humans to give them the best care! I’ve also got experience grooming so if you ever need there nails trimmed up or a good bath/brush out just let me know and I’ll take care of it! I work remote and going to school for nursing so I am open/home almost any time and day! I can do overnight sitting as well as day time house visits! I love having them at my house but it’s no issue if there more comfortable in there own environment I live in castle hayne with a fenced in backyard and plenty of land and room for animals to play and exercise! I also have a horse ferrier and close vet friend who are always one call away with any medicines or help I need! I go bike riding and walking so it’s never an issue to bring any animals with me if they need to be walked or get some energy out! I do not mind pets on the couch either! If needed I also am very experienced with grooming and have all the tools and necessities needed, just give me a heads up and it’s no problem to trim nails or have bath times!

“Elisa is communicative, flexible, and asked good questions to learn about the needs of my dog. She was willing to schedule me in short notice and was friendly.”

“Once again, she did a fantastic job. She walks my dog and even when my family goes to walk him our cat Willow hides from everyone. Only one time from her and Willow was cuddling on her lap! It was a comforting sign🖤 Cash was beautifully taken care of and we were very happy!”

About: I've owned dogs all my life and pet sat regularly before relocating. I am comfortable with any size pet, and like to create a comfortable an environment as possible for them. I've cared for a variety of animals at different ages and care levels. I have experience with administering medications and caring for senior animals. I enjoy pet sitting and loving on all kinds of furry creatures! I have the ability to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pets. I am primarily available for check in visits or walks though I also offer home stays. I will care for your pet as close to what they're used to as possible. I love spending time with animals and giving them love!

About: I’ve worked with animals for 18 years. My first job was at a veterinary clinic and I’ve been pet sitting ever since. I volunteer at the Humane Society in my free time. I have experience administering oral medications and potty training puppies. I have some experience training basic obedience and tricks. I don’t discriminate against breed or size - I love them all, feline and canine! I’ve also taken care of birds, fish and cows (I interned at a dairy farm one summer). When pet sitting, I enjoy taking able bodied pups along for hikes and adventures. Overall, I will treat your fur or fur-less babies as if they are my own. I’m a part time nanny, so I work afternoons - evenings Tuesday through Friday. I’m available for walking or check ins in the mornings and late evenings/nights on those days. I’m also open to pet sitting on the weekends - also during the week if your pet can be alone for 6-8 hours at a time. When I walk dogs, I give them lots of affection before getting them ready for their walk. When dog sitting, I take them out first thing in the morning before their breakfast. We will go on 2 long walks, with potty breaks in between. I like to take them to the dog park sometimes or on a long hike if it is allowed. I am respectful of the pet parent’s wishes in all regards.

About: With 14 years of professional pet care experience, I specialize in caring for animals of all ages, including senior pets and those with special needs. I spent 6 years as a Kennels Manager at Brunswick Forest Veterinary Hospital and 4 years as a Veterinary Technician, providing expert care for dogs, cats, and more. Whether it’s administering medication or ensuring a comforting routine, I treat every pet like family! I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my pet care schedule to fit yours. Whether you're heading out on vacation or need a helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate! This flexibility means your pet will get the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away! I love keeping pets active and engaged! I always plan for daily walks based on their needs—my own dog has tons of energy, so we go out at least twice a day. Playtime is a must, not just for fun but to build trust and a strong bond. If your pet needs medication, you can rest easy knowing I’m completely comfortable handling it with care.

About: I have a fairly large background in animal care, it has always been a passion of mine - specifically dogs & horses. I take pride in how well I care for animals. I do not have a fenced yard yet but the dogs will be strictly supervised on a leash when outside of my home. I have 1.2 acres and a great neighborhood for walks. I will gladly work on in home manners with your dog/s while in my care as I believe training should be daily and enjoyable! I work part time and also own a photography business so my schedule is pretty flexible for dog sitting. I do this primarily cause my dog loves to have a friend over and since we are out in the country there are not too many other dogs for her to play with nearby. - Dogs are ALWAYS supervised and on a leash when outside of my house. - Dogs must be up to date on all shots. - Dogs are to be crated when my direct attention is not on them or if I need to go run a quick errand. This is never for longer than 2 hours. I have two large crates. - Dogs are crated at bed time. Usually around 9pm-7am. This may vary depending on dog's usual schedule. - Dogs have daily individualized walks. - I will help instill everyday manners & any sort of training help you may need. - Of course treats & cuddles daily! - I have a TON of references, you may ask me for the list!

About: ABOUT ME: Called a cat whisperer with a magnet for animals in need, I’m a semi-retired teacher who has helped save various types of animals all my life & amaze many with pet bonding & relative cat obedience but adore all animal types. Many pets warm up to me fairly quickly that never socialize much and fear most people. I usually quickly gain various animals’ trust, love, loyalty, & affection & am great with most, especially cats & dogs. SOME EXTRAS & BONUSES: As a trustworthy house-sitter who knows what having one can be like in my own house, I’ll also take in your mail/packages & water your plants (at no extra charge unless enough plants for a mini-jungle). COMFORT: Your pets will be as safe & comforted as possible when with me & I'll spend ample agreeable amounts of time with them so long as I feel the same at your place. However, I won’t stay overnight. DOG WALKING; MAY ENTAIL BONUSES &/ OR EXTRA COSTS: We can have fun at nearby doggy parks or nice scenery, if applicable, or by playing in your home or yard when possible. My drop in visit & house sitting costs EXCLUDE dog walking unless negotiated. Because I handle both cats & dogs, add $10 p/visit to those rates if I’m expected to do that vs. let them out in a preferably enclosed yard or bring them outside for more than 10 minutes to do their business. SPECIAL TREAT BONUSES & COSTS: Given time, they can look forward to affection, a pet massage, treats, & perhaps me trying to sing lullabies as I rock them to sleep after bedtime chats if desired 😂. Negotiable $10 extra for each brushing p/dog & $20 bathing rate may vary based on weight p/dog & is available during my idea of “house-sitting” or longer stay drop ins. Rates are negotiable. HOLISTIC PET CARE: I’ve learned a lot of priceless gems applying holistic pet care at times for cats & dogs, if interested. I’ve shared my house & yard with many cats & my 2nd dog TLC BONUSES: I talk to, pet, & play with animals regularly, given time & their temperament, so they feel as valued & loved as they usually instantly are. As long as I'm comfortable there & w/them, I may likely provide extra TLC/time unless requested not to because I know firsthand how anxious many pets are without their humans. SCHEDULE: You'll likely be pleased with the time & care given to your pet(s) unless they conflict with info. below: If accepted after meet & greet, I’ll come up to twice per day for sitting. I’ll bring any dog(s) out up to twice per visit only if need be, especially for puppies. I may have sufficient time otherwise but prefer late mornings & before dark any time of week. If needed in early mornings, evenings, or night, the schedule may be a conflict, especially if you’re further than 10 miles from where I am. If GPS pic shows YOU’RE MORE THAN 10 MILES from either place before our meet & greet, let’s discuss fair & agreeable extra convenience fee for time & gas I’ll be commuting that day & possibly throughout the job, especially if I’m working otherwise then. SAME AS DIRECTLY ABOVE IF I MUST PAY for PARKING &/or YOU’RE NOT IN A HOME WITH AMPLE EASE & AVAILABILITY of PARKING such as your own private driveway, lots of spots on your block near entrance, or it otherwise takes several minutes to get from my car into your home. Considering safety, my own multiple pets including spoiled dog 🐶 😅, & that I may be working remotely or not, AN AGREED UPON MINIMUM # of HOURS P/DAY is the MOST I’LL LIKELY DO vs. OVERNIGHT scheduling. I’ll hopefully break my own dog’s separation anxiety soon & must balance those needs with your own pet(s). If I do consider being there overnight house sitting for you, “please consider possibility” of my small 14 lb shih tzu dog coming leashed & in a carrier to stay with me if there’s a room or place (that doesn’t have hardwood or a rug) to keep him separated from your pet(s). Yes his spoiled butt still has tantrums that include relieving himself on the floor or carpet on occasion when mad at me (usually for leaving him) but if not another available room like a bathroom, I’ll keep him in his carrier during the likely 2-4+ hrs housesitting p/day so your pet(s) & he should be fine. SAFETY, TRUST, & ENVIRONMENT for HOUSESITTING: For safety & privacy, I’m willing when able to stay for a minimum agreed upon amount of hrs. but not comfortable with overnight unless the unlikely event I feel VERY safe, cozy, comfortable, & secure in doing so. I must be able to trust that I will be protected in private moments as well & don't mind spending hours daily in a decent home for house sitting under those conditions but must feel fully comfortable & safe for overnight stays (which’ll likely have .1% chance of happening). We can discuss this further & some things mentioned may have changed since time of posting but THERE MUST BE SECURE LATCHES + LOCKS ON ALL ENTRANCES, including window locks. PROVIDE THE # TO YOUR SECURITY, FRONT DESK, LANDLORD, &/or SUPERINTENDENT, IF APPLICABLE, in case of emergency 🆘. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE KEYS THAT CAN ENTER WHILE YOU’RE AWAY!!! (2 prior incidents were ENOUGH)! During meet & greet, please show me where applicable fire extinguishers & any other life saving devices such as escape ladders from upper floors are just to be on the safe side.
