“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”

About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

“Cosette did a fantastic job! The photos and videos were so funny to watch back. My doggy did not want to go and cosette did a great job of handling me leaving. 100% will book again!”

About: I am a dog lover. I have watched my family and friends pets for many years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I work from home Monday-Friday. My schedule is flexible to what might be needed whether drop ins, walks, etc. I am available on the weekends as well. I will do what’s needed based on the animals needs: playing with the animals, feeding and watering, checking food/water sources, going on walks, and more.

“Taylor and his family were SO sweet and I could not be more grateful for them! Taylor sent lots of pictures and I could tell Beaux had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Taylor next time we’re in the area.”

About: I treat every pet as if they are my own. I have grown up with dogs and have my own. I’ll sent photos and updates and I am quick to respond. I work from home so I can hang out all day with them, take walks during the day, cuddles, play time, etc. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of. If they are having a sleepover, I have a yard beside my house I can let them run and I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them.** I have a dog of my own that LOVES new friends and to play. He is featured in my profile. If boarding at my house, dog has to get along** I’m also available to come let out and take your dog(s) on a walk throughout the day.

About: my name is Ryan, and I’m a social worker and work through Rover. I grew up around dogs my entire life, and I currrently have a dachshund mix that I adore and spoil. My goal is to make sure your dogs get the best care possible. Each dog is different, so if you have any special requests to best fit their individualized needs, please let me know. I love taking dogs to the beach, parks, and trails throughout Wilmington. My schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for your schedule. And I will make sure I’m able to help with services. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and at home. If I notice they are stressed, I will sit with them for a few minutes and then take them on a walk to get some energy out. If there’s anything specific your dog likes to feel more comfortable, let me know and I’ll take that into consideration. I will also give them my 100 percent undivided attention and all the pets and belly rubs they want!

“2 day daycare stay: Katie was ABOVE and beyond not only caring for my crazy Millie girl (boxer/pitt) but also as a person. She was such a joy to talk to at drop off and pickup, and kept me up to-do-date with pictures and videos during Millie’s stay. I would hands down recommend her to anyone as well as use her again. If only she lived closer to Charlotte, all three of my dogs would be with her everyday! THANK YOU, Katie!!!”

About: I have always had either a cat or dog. I recently had to say goodbye to our cat and lost my dachshund about 2 years ago. My son and I are not ready to get another pet of our own but, we would like to take care of your pet as we would our own. I have always been the "go to" trusted person for many of my friends for pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outdoors as much as possible. I usually go for a walk or run first thing in the morning and would love to have a buddy for that. I am also open to dogs that are older and need some extra time and attention. My Daschund had seizures for the last couple years of life so, I have experience with some senior dog issues. I work from home every day so, I can spend a lot of time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible so, I can scheduled in walk(s) and potty breaks throughout the day for in home and care at my home. I live in a very safe townhouse community with an ideal low traffic area for walks. I live very close to several parks. I have a screened in back porch and a small fenced in yard with grass. I am flexible and willing to do works best to keep your pet safe and happy.

“Benji had an absolute blast staying for the day with Helena! He didn’t want to leave at the end of the visit so I am sure we will be repeat clients!”

About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.

“Gabrielle was amazing! We needed a few hours for our boy to hang out and she furnished a safe and loving environment. Will definitely use again on our next visit down.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young. I started caring for dogs and cats were neighbors, friends, and family around age 10, and have also gained around three years of professional experience working in dog boarding facilities. Through my experience, I have cared for puppies, senior pets, dogs of all sizes and personalities, cats, and multi pet households. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, senior care, and routine medication administration. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My background as a birth Doula has strengthened my patience, compassion, organization, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring those same qualities into pet care by providing dependable communication, attention to detail, and a calm presence for your pets while you’re away. I’m also a proud dog mom, and I know firsthand that pets are family. My goal is to treat every pet like my own while giving you peace of mind through reliable care, updates, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy being a part of my life. Because I work as a birth doula with a mix of scheduled and on-call availability, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, drop in visits, and companionship for your pets throughout the day or night. I am open about my availability and will always communicate my on-call dates with pet parents ahead of time. When I am available, I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to your pets and provide reliable, attentive care. If a birth call overlaps with a booking, I will communicate as early as possible and make sure we have a clear plan in place. My goal is to create a dependable routine for your pets, while giving you peace of mind that they are cared for, loved, and never forgotten. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for your pets. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or providing visits, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, familiar environment, where they feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I believe consistency is key. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your space, keep your home, secure, and pay attention to the little details that help your pets to feel comfortable while you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy and well cared for. For walks and drop in visits, I prioritize, safe handling, awareness of surroundings, and your pets individual needs and personality. I take the time to understand their routines, triggers, preferences, and comfort level before providing care. As an animal lover, pet parent, and experienced caregiver, I understand the trust involved in allowing someone to take care of your furry family members. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience that gives both you and your pets peace of mind.
