17. Kenneth W.
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.


18. Rose N.
“Rose is a kind, professional and polite dog sitter. She is prompt and took excellent care of my dog’s needs. I was impressed that she could handle my large energetic Saint Bernard so well right away! Anyone who loves their dog like their child will have peace of mind with their canine in Rose’s hands.”


19. Savannah L.
“Savannah L will provide excellent care for pets. She is kind and understanding when it comes to animals. She will treat each pet with love and compassion.”




20. Tori S.
“Tori is wonderful with dogs. She often cares for our 3 year old, high energy, but anxious lab-mix, Dakota. She is understanding of our dogs individual quirks and is also good about reinforcing trained behaviors. Dakota is around 70 lbs and very strong, but Tori has no issues taking him on long walks and horsing around with him. She is a caring and compassionate animal lover!”
