Keira just walked my dog Papaya, for Papaya it was a first experience going on a walk with someone except me. I couldn’t be happier! Papaya came back very excited and I could tell she had a great time! Now she is ready for her nap. I will definitely be inviting Keira to walk Papaya again!

About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. I am a University student and will be leaving Wilmington on July 10th. However I do regularly return for holidays and will be back in December. I am a very diligent caretaker always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary!

About: I love getting to know each dog’s personality, quirks, and needs! I have a high energy rescue dog (border collie/australian shepherd). She has helped me learn so much about mental stimulation and caring for a dog’s individual emotional needs. I prioritize enrichment activities, walks, play time, and mental stimulation during my time with your pup. I promise to take care of your dog as I would my own ❤️ I will do whatever I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule! Also, my work is mainly remote, so I am able to be present with your pup throughout your time away from them. I have a fenced in yard, and I always stay with dogs when I take them to the yard to make sure they are safe :) I have a friendly dog who would be happy to keep your dog company (or I can keep her in a separate space if that is better for your dog). I keep a safe, clean, and peaceful environment for any dogs boarding in my home. If I come to your home, I make extra effort to respect your space, be mindful not to track in dirt, and follow all instructions closely.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs from young to old, small to big, and healthy to sick/disabled. I’ve been looking after neighbor’s and family friend’s dogs for the past 6 years. I’ve done drop ins, hung out at the house for 24/7 attention, and stayed the night at the home. I am on summer break from community college except for one summer class on Fridays. I will also be out of town from late July to early August and I will update my calendar when I find out those dates. I am available everyday (except Fridays) from 7am-12am. I treat all dogs I come by with love and respect and try my best to accommodate their needs. Some clients require special instructions or have a specific way of doing things that i’m glad to follow. I want to make sure your dog is well taken care of.

About: I have enjoyed taking care of our household pets since I was young. I have experience walking and working with dogs of various sizes. I’ve worked as a volunteer animal handler for Eagle's Den Animal Haven & Rescue, where I worked with puppies and abused animals to get them socialized, leash trained, and comfortable with people. I also have experience doing long-distance animal transport through volunteer work with Wheels4Paws and a job with New Start Animal Transport. Through all of this, I have found a passion for working with animals and I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I'm currently working part-time in the evenings. My normal start time for that job is 5:30pm. So, I'm available most days from 8:00am to 4:00pm, and late evenings after work when house/pet sitting. I try to maintain the same kind of care and routine that you have gotten your pet accustomed to. This includes sleeping arrangements, diet, feeding times, play times, and walks.

I'd give Ashton six stars if I could. Fiona agrees. She is kind, thoughtful, and great with animals. We were visiting town for a wedding and couldn't find a dog sitter at home. So Fiona was coming with us! But she has horrible separation anxiety, so leaving her alone while we went to the rehearsal dinner and wedding. I found Ashton's profile and just knew Fiona would like her. We made the arrangements months before our trip. The day we arrived in Wilmington, Ashton met us at the house for an intro. I was so grateful that Fiona was able to meet her before we left them alone for the evening. And, as suspected, Fiona warmed up to Ashton pretty quickly. The two had two lovely, quiet evenings together (based on the photos) and I got to enjoy the wedding events without worrying about my dog. I truly can not recommend her enough. She will take great care of your pet and give you peace of mind.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have 20 plus years of owning my own pets, multiple in my household. I treat them like one of the family and they go everywhere with me. I am available everyday during the summer. I am an educator and have June and July off. I can make my self available any hours you may need. I am more than willing to come over to play with and walk your pet. If you want them to have an adventure we can go to the park (if they like car tides). If they need full time care I am more than willing to stay at your home overnight.

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: 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!

I have had experience in administering medications, feeding, walking, and cleaning up after all sizes and kinds of animals (mostly dogs and cats). I’m currently a college student, and would love to make some money on the side doing what i love the most—caring for animals! I have pet sit multiple times in the past in between and after classes, and look forward to meeting your pet. After walking or playing, i can easily crate or feed your dog, whatever is needed! I love to spend time playing with dogs, and just spending time cuddling with them or petting them overall! I can easily do whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and safe!

About: I want to be a veterinarian, I’ve known that since I was a little girl. I am available whenever needed throughout the week. I’m more than happy to spend the night with your dog(s). I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and love meeting and playing with new furry friends. If given the chance to care for your pet I will treat them like one of my own. To me and my family dogs and cats aren’t just pets, they’re family, and I’d love to add more to it. I am a full-time manager at one of the local fast food restaurants. My schedule varies, but it’s very flexible to meet your pets needs. Besides sticking into the schedule given to me I will usually do whatever your pet asks me to do as long as they’re within your parameters. I’ve had some very demanding clients in the past so having a strong willed pet is not new to me.

About: Hi, I’m Christa! I’m a 33-year-old passionate animal caretaker with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, ducks, chickens, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by pets and have always felt at home with animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently live on a spacious, half-acre fenced-in lot, giving your fur baby plenty of room to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. I share my home with my two friendly lab mixes—Bear (13) and Goose (3 months)—as well as two sweet cats, Meera and Jojen. My dogs are well-socialized and get along great with other pups. I also have a degree in biology, where I took several animal-focused courses that deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. This background helps me provide thoughtful, informed, and attentive care for all kinds of pets. Thanks for stopping by—I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet like one of my own! Since I work remotely on my own schedule training AI models, I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest, and offer plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I do slow introductions with my own pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible.

Claire has a passion for animals. While in college she volunteered with local animal rescue groups. She has experience with basic training of dogs, transporting animals safely, basic grooming of pets, healthy play for the fur babies, and basic wound care for them as well. She has taken care of my husky several times. Once of which she sat my baby for almost a week at my home while I was in the hospital with my husband. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for furbaby care.

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: 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!

Kaleigh is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met! She goes above and beyond with the love she gives my pets and other people's pets - she loves yours like she loves her own. She is incredibly responsible and takes her job seriously. My dogs are my children and I love having Kaleigh to give them the love and care I would, when I am away!

Brittany is mature beyond her years, and has the most caring and compassionate heart. She loves taking care of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles. Having been a pet parent herself since birth, Brittany is knowledgeable, capable, loving, tender, and firm. She can walk and wrestle with the biggest of dogs, and handle the smallest of mice. She'd make a great pet walker and caregiver!

I'd give Ashton six stars if I could. Fiona agrees. She is kind, thoughtful, and great with animals. We were visiting town for a wedding and couldn't find a dog sitter at home. So Fiona was coming with us! But she has horrible separation anxiety, so leaving her alone while we went to the rehearsal dinner and wedding. I found Ashton's profile and just knew Fiona would like her. We made the arrangements months before our trip. The day we arrived in Wilmington, Ashton met us at the house for an intro. I was so grateful that Fiona was able to meet her before we left them alone for the evening. And, as suspected, Fiona warmed up to Ashton pretty quickly. The two had two lovely, quiet evenings together (based on the photos) and I got to enjoy the wedding events without worrying about my dog. I truly can not recommend her enough. She will take great care of your pet and give you peace of mind.

Sophia was awesome with our babies! She walked all 3 (40-60 lbs each) and not only gave the best recap for us to read, but sent some of the cutest pictures of each pup individually. Highly recommend!!
