House Sitting in Southern Shores

“I would definitely have Tara take care of our dog again. She kept us well informed of how our dog was behaving and thankfully our dog was good! Our dog seemed very happy and content when we arrived Home which made us think she had a good time with Tara! The house was neat and tidy also. I would certainly recommend her services.”

About: I've had my own dogs and have taken care of other dogs for many years - puppies & dogs of all ages and personalities. I can take care of your dog for a short visit or an extended period. I'm retired and I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog(s). If they are active, I can also run with them. I take dogs on lots of long walks, plus playtime and cuddling. I have plenty of room in a dog friendly house with covered furniture. I have a crate big enough for a 50 lb dog if your dog is used to a crate for naps, etc.

About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home. If I take care of pets in my home, I do have a fenced backyard for them to run and play.

“As always, I truly appreciate Jenna. I don't know what we'd do without her!! My pets are always thrilled when she arrives which is a complete 180 from when I boarded the dog (she would tremble and cower at the boarding place and also go on hunger strikes). Now she couldn't wag her whole butt harder! Jenna's always great with communication, respecting our home while we're away, ensuring everything gets done for all the animals (walks, love, feeding, etc.), and sending photos so I know they're happy and healthy. I can't imagine going away any other way than having Jenna staying here with our animals while we're gone. Thank you!!!”

About: I pay attention to detail and makes your pets feel like you never left home. You’ll come home to them knowing they were loved and cared for. I have an infant so I have a very fluid schedule throughout my week. My main priority is to be with my son. We both love animals and would love to take on this opportunity to help others. I follow the rules you request and make sure your pets are safe and cared for just like you would at home. My goal is to go beyond the bar that’s set so ensure quality care.

About: I have cared for dogs, as well as all kinds of other animals my entire life! I have a 3 year old Pitt mix named Sophie who is absolutely precious and LOVES other dogs. I work in the husbandry department at the aquarium so I am comfortable with all animals including fish, reptiles, spiders, etc. ❤️ I currently work full time, with Fridays and Saturdays off. I am available after 5pm Sunday-Thursday with full availability on my days off. I am flexible with last minute requests as well I will care for your pups in your home by doing absolutely anything you request. I can crate dogs, or do anything that the owner would like! My dog is very spoiled and gets the best care possible.

“Lauren was fabulous and took great care of my dog. She was a pleasure to meet and communicated frequently to keep me informed. I will definitely book with Lauren again.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including my senior Golden Retriever and my late Pitty. My experience on the Outer Banks has taught me how to handle sandy, wet pups after beach outings, ensuring they’re clean and comfortable before settling in. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quality care at home, I’ll treat your pets like family and focus on keeping them happy and healthy. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care tailored to your pet’s needs. Mornings are ideal for walks, meals, and playtime, while afternoons offer opportunities for additional walks or check-ins. Evenings are for winding down, ensuring every pet feels safe and loved. With my senior dog already setting the pace, I’m accustomed to balancing active adventures with quiet care, whether for a quick visit or an overnight stay. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I pride myself on creating a secure, loving environment where each pet feels at ease. Having cared for my own dogs, I understand the importance of trust and attentiveness. On the Outer Banks, I’m familiar with keeping sandy beach dogs clean and ensuring your home stays tidy. You can count on me for reliable, compassionate care tailored to your furry friend.

About: I’ve been taking care of puppies/dogs of all sizes since I was 5! Spending time with animals brings me so much joy and if it helps you out, it’s even better! I have a very flexible schedule and I am not committed to anything else other than watching and taking care of your lil fur babies! I live in an apartment complex but there are many areas around to walk your furry friends and all other animals around are on leashes!

“Our dog is territorial and over protective. Brandi was able to come in and make a great connection, love on our pup, and take care of her as well, if not better, than we would have! She is the best!”

About: 30 plus years of experience with fur babies. Love all fur babies big ones and little ones. Fur babies are the best part of life! Available full time since I work from home to give your fur baby all the time and attention they need for a positive experience while they are with me. I have a fenced in back yard to play ball, or frisbee with your fur baby while their staying with me and plenty of space if they need to be crated.

About: My name is Haley, I am 25 years old. I am a stay at home mom and fur mom. I am currently going to school online to become a Veterinary Technician, and I hope to become a certified service dog trainer one day soon. I have had dogs my entire life, they are my passion. I have three pups of my own, one being a rescue that I believe rescued me. I would love to use my spare time doing what I love and taking care of some more dogs. I have taken care of every size dog, from a 5 pound Yorkie to a 150 pound Rottweiler. Leave your dogs in the hands of someone you can trust and someone who is going to give them the love and respect the deserve. I am a stay at home mom or two, but both of my kids are in school during the day. I want to use my free time to spend it with animals and helping others with their fur babies I have a large fenced in back yard and I also have multiple crates if they are needed. I make sure to keep water available at all time and give lots of exercise/playtime

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
