About: Hi, I’m Brittany! Animals have been at the heart of my life and career for over 20 years. With a background in veterinary medicine, I bring not only extensive hands-on experience but also specialized training in medical emergencies, special-needs care, and multi-pet households. Whether your loved one is a high-energy pup, a senior kitty needing extra TLC, or an exotic pet like reptiles, birds, or fish, I’m comfortable and confident providing attentive, reliable care. Pet sitting and house sitting have been a natural extension of my life for years—caring for the pets of family, friends, coworkers, and clients as if they were my own. My approach is detail-oriented, empathetic, and trustworthy, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Beyond my professional experience, I’m also a wildlife and pet portrait artist, and animals inspire much of my creativity and joy. I love good food, music, and exploring different cultures—but at the core of everything I do is my love for animals and the bonds they share with their people. I’d be honored to care for your pets, keep your home safe, and give you the comfort of knowing they’re in capable, loving hands. I own my own art business where I paint pet portraits, wildlife paintings, oddity & nature sculptures, and custom pole dancing heels. I work from home with a very flexible schedule & routine. I do not have any pets in the home currently, and have no children so I can accommodate any schedule or needs. Your best friends are safe with me. Safety and trust our the upmost importance. Currently I have no pets in the home, no children, and no exposure to toxins or dangerous substances. I am home full-time and work from home so I’m available for specific needs and general safety. I’m also trained for medical emergencies and can do CPR. I am very confident in myself to be a place of safety and comfort for your pet.

“I feel so comfortable taking my sweet senior Maltese to Bridget’s house. She is well taken care of and given lots of extra love. Bridget keeps me informed of how the day is going and sends pictures. I know my dog is safe and happy when she is there. Definitely recommend!”

About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

“Alexis was so sweet to my pup. She took great care of him. She is so appreciated.”

About: Hi! I’m new to the area and would love to meet all the neighborhood animals! I recently moved here from Michigan to live with my husband here in the Slocum neighborhood in Havelock North Carolina. Back home I have two puppies, Millie and Ruby and here in North Carolina I have a puppy and kitty named pepper and maple. Back home I have been reliable to take care of my neighbors dog and cat to take care of them by feeding their dog and cat, taking their dog for walks, playing with their dog and cat and making sure their dog goes outside to go potty. I love being a parent to my puppy and kitty and it’s the best part of my day to come home to them 💕🐾🐶🐱 I’m unemployed and currently looking for a job but I’ll be able to take care of your animals during the day throughout the week and at night if needed. I have a fenced in backyard which is where I take out my puppy maple out to go potty. As mentioned before I have kitty named pepper as well. Maple is 6-7 months old and gets along well with other animals and is a very friendly and social dog. I take maple for walks and sometimes for runs often. We do have a pet scorpion as well but he stays in an enclosed glass cage away from the other animals. Pepper has her own room where she sleeps and has a litter box, a cat tree, and a food and water bowl. Both pepper and maple are allowed on the furniture and maple has a dog kennel and two dog beds but she sleeps in our room. And she also has a food and water bowl in the kitchen area. There are plenty of toys for the animals to play with but you are welcome to bring your own toys as well. I would also like to add that there will be no additional caretakers and it’ll just be me.

Hope to see you here at our little Husky Haven real soon! :) Im SO HAPPY to say that I chose to quit my 9-5 so that I could put my all into my fur babies and pour into my animal loving passion! I have a COMPLETE open schedule so that I can care for your babies, it’s what I absolutely love to do! I currently live in a fairly spacious apartment with my two huskies and two cats! We spend plenty of time outside every day and have awesome trails nearby that we love to explore! They take several potty breaks a day and are fed twice a day and often get a few treats!

About: From fur to feathers & scales I’ve cared for all kinds of animals for 10 years. I am experienced with administering medications (topical, pills, drops, etc).I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet(s) behind, but have no fear this animal lover will care for them until your return! I am currently stay at home, so I am available during the day, weekends, and night time if needed. I can work with your routine if your pet has a set schedule. I have a fenced yard, and 2 friendly pups if your pet likes to socialize. If your pet prefers to be alone I can schedule individual yard time for them. I do have a separate room for those that prefer to be crated or are not use to free roaming. If pets prefer to stay at their homes I can keep them company for however long they require, along with making sure their needs are taken care of (food, water, potty time, playtime).

About: Hello, my name is Tianna and I’m 28. I’ve been a huge animal lover since I was a child where I’ve brought different animals home to take care of such as kitties, turtles, and even a peacock! I’ve fostered and owned a variety of dogs from lap dogs to larger breeds. I have 4 dogs of my own and another 5 that reside back in Texas with my family. 2 are seniors so senior dogs have a special place in my heart! I currently work at a fitness studio where I’m gone for 2-3 hours max a day but can schedule around to accommodate to you and your pets needs! I have a smoke free home where your pets can lounge on the sofa and bed :) I have a small fenced yard and 4 small dogs who are crate trained so they can be put away to keep your dog comfortable and safe if needed. **My pets are currently back in Texas**

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from childhood to adulthood. Today, I have two Goldendoodles of my own and a kitten and plenty of hands-on experience caring for puppies. My background gives me patience, understanding, and a genuine love for pets of all kinds. I’m currently finishing my student teaching and am looking for a side gig that lets me do something I truly enjoy, spending time with animals. Right now, I have plenty of flexibility during the evenings and on weekends, which allows me to focus on caring for pets, whether that’s walks, playtime, or boarding. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Goldendoodles who love having playmates. Your pet will be safe, supervised, and have plenty of company. If needed, I can easily crate your dog, follow specific routines, and provide a calm environment to make them feel at home.

“Always a pleasure leaving our pup in KenLynn’s care! We absolutely trust her.”
